Synopsis: When John Matthew Smith married Elizabeth Sullivan Smith in 1843, they had 13 children (including several sets of twins). Smith built 10 houses around a square of land, including 3 that were never lived in. Smith hid a valuable treasure in each of the unused houses, with a mystery and set of clues, for later generations to solve when in great financial need. Now is the last chance for the last treasure to be found. Without getting bogged down in the family lines, major relationships provide some of the mysteries. (A 2-page family tree was removed from this accessible format, but isn't needed to follow the story.) Why won't elderly Dwight and John talk to each other? Why did Zee's father run away with his infant son and not tell Zee any family history? How does Matthew fit in, if at all? And just how do they find this final treasure, and will it be worth the cost?
