Since you mentioned the term 'follow the chimney', when I was a youngster growing up in Readymoney North Caicos, there was a structure that we called 'the scaffold' on our property. It had steps leading to its top with what appeared to have been a flag pole in past times. As an adult, I always thought it was related either to the Loyalists or the pirates, as a look out tower of some sort. I enjoyed this article.

And have some information for you, much gleaned from the UK National Archives at Kew, near London. My own family were in Salt Cay from the early 1800s onwards. My own ancestor was born on S.C. and eventually died on Grand Turk in 1904 Meantime visiting and starting a family in England whence I descend. I have a little oral tradition to add to the serious research.. There is a very remarkable story about a white and a brown side to the family, and the best part is, all three sides of the family are now again in touch. Two separate families living in Fla, USA, and my lot here in England. look fwd to hearing from you, as I have some questions you may be able to answer.

A most fascinating expedition and report. I wish I had been there. “Further excavations” could include exploration with Metal Detectors as in those days, with no banks or other secure places for valuables it was common to bury items and monies which might still be there.
