Finlay Ferguson, on the morning of the Massacre, buried in the old orchard a dressing case; the secret of the plant died with him. Many searches were made for it but it was never found. It was an oak case, mounted in silver. It was said that the late R. Read, before he left his home on the morning of the Massacre, buried a sum of money which he was never able to locate again. He was an old man.
