A number of years ago I read that Paul Revere left the city of Boston $5000.00 in his will. It was to be in an interest bearing account. The only catch was that the money wasn't to be touched for something like two hundred years. However, politicians and lawyers being what they are, - found a way to break that will earler in the twentieth century, - not sure of the date. Does anyone have any info whether there's any truth to this, - or simply an interesting story with no merit? Thx. ...

EXCELLENT BOOK!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Yeah, I've looked too. Over a two hundred year period, that would have increased in value quite a bit. Not to mention that $5000.00 "back then" was quite a gift.
