The Lost Treasure of Francis Wainwright
Early New England Puritan settler Francis Wainwright was a wealthy man. In fact, he was one of the richest Puritans in the 17th century Massachusetts Bay Colony. His elaborate headstone is unlike any other in the Old Burying Ground in Ipswich, a testament to his wealth. And, his descendants have been searching for his hidden treasure for generations.
When their late grandmother’s will is read, Wainwright descendants Christine, Adam, Grace, James, and Emily discover they have been bequeathed the search for the lost treasure, including a log of the work the past five or six generations have done. They set out on a quest to find the treasure, if it exists, once and for all.
Their adventure leads them to interesting clues, valuable antique items, and incredible places they never imagined. Is the treasure real? These five are about to find out what it really means to be researchers of family history.
