Dear David,
Hum .....
Very interesting about the Talbot/Paiewonsky connection.
Do either of you know that Captain Kidd was supposed to have a left a vast buried treasure.
Guess where it was reportedly hidden?
Gibson Island, Maryland!
Now lets see, we've got an infamous outlaw, his wife who killed her previous husband to marry Kidd, the disgraced Governor Talbot, Hugh Riley, a horde of missing loot, all of which are making historical waves in tiny Maryland.
I don't like conspiracy theories but you'd have to be blind not wonder if all of this was just coincidence.
Please keep me informed regarding the Kidd/Hugh connection.
Knowing your propensity for associating with "black sheep" shall I tell you about the two famous Riley outlaws of the Old West?
One slaugtered a saloon full of adversaries, while another made one of the greatest horse rides in the 19th century.
However, as always, my primary interest lies in discovering the connection between Miles and Hugh.
Without sounding pedantic I repeat, THIS is the great unsolved mystery of American Riley family. Solve this and we can all go home to Cavan and drink a toast to your cleverness.
What is your impression of the new information from Robert Stevens, i.e. new information from the Portland library and Raymond Riley of Winchester, Kansas?
Can we discover from Robert Stevens what this "information" regards. No point in duplicating his efforts if it doesn't apply to Miles.
In closing I ask you again, do you know of ANYONE who has ever tried to link Hugh and Miles via the LDS records?
Please answer this question for me. If this has not been done then the answer may be staring us in the face.
I'm really busy but as this heats up I am making time to monitor it. Let me know if you need help.
Slainte,
A Scholar
