The Lost Treasure of Francis Wainwright (PDF Book)

Early New England Puritan settler Francis Wainwright was a wealthy man. He was one of the wealthiest Puritans in the 17th-century Massachusetts Bay Colony. Unlike any other in the Old Burying Ground in Ipswich, his elaborate headstone is 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.

Is the treasure real? These five are about discovering what it means to be family history researchers. Their adventure leads them to exciting clues, valuable antique items, and incredible places they never imagined.
