Thaler Blood Money

It was told to me by my Aunt Clara (old cabalistic connection to the St. Clairs), who in her childhood knew her Uncle Silas (called “Sile“), grandson of Silas Daniel Pate, that Uncle Sile’s Crumpler kin used the old pot of money called the Coree Treasure to build the Patetown Free Chapel.

The Coree Treasure is the key to the connection of Patetown and Pates in Robeson County, North Carolina--and the Vasquez de Ayllon colony of Spanish Dutch Sephardim in the Indian nation of Chicora, centered at Pates, on the border of what became the English colonies of North and South Carolina, in what was given to Charles Pate as his Primitive Baptist diocese, as indemnity for the death of his father, Major Thoroughgood Pate.

No one knows--nor ever will--what really went on at Chicora. My friend Jarvis Pelt found old Dutch thalers at Patetown, on his regular hunts for Indian artifacts. Jarvis knows nothing of what I’m talking about. The Coree Indians were the people for whom Thoroughgood Pate sacrificed his life. They will never know.
