The Men of Treasure Cove
HISTORY OF TREASURE COVE
To ensure the safety and livelihood
of the Town of Treasure Cove its first residents, back in the early 1800's, the
town created a charter to ensure that the land, water and mineral rights stayed
within the original members of the town. It simply stated...
"Upon marriage, the
land, water and mineral rights are to be transferred over to the first wife.
When the first wife produced a child, male or female, the land, water and
mineral rights were then transferred over to the first-born, therefore ensuring
that the land, water and mineral rights stayed within the residents of Treasure
Cove. If the first-born is a female, she shall marry a resident of the town of
Treasure Cove, not affiliated with her lineage. If a male is born first, he and
any brothers shall find a suitable wife within the town or one shall be
assigned to them from a reputable source."
For generations, the
charter was hushed behind closed doors, until Matthew and Andrew
Jenkins were assigned wife, who up and married someone else. It wasn't until
they chose Isabella Romanov, the daughter of a new family that recently
moved to Treasure Cove, to marry that they were informed of the stipulations of
the town charter. After Isabella married another man in haste, the brothers
parted ways, until they found out that Isabella bore them a daughter, Emma.
Upon returning to ensure his daughter’s birthright and safety, Matthew Jenkins
requested a copy of the original charter (Book One). Since then, the town has
been desperately trying to unravel the mystery behind the charter and find out
whole controls the money.
