Here's a lead I got back in the 90's from a very nice lady Named Mrs. Shara Williams.
Back in the 1940's Shara and her family spend several weekends a year at her mothers old uncles house on the west end of Galveston Island. The uncle Ed or Ted
Wright always showed the kids his treasure box full of world coins and jewelery that he had pick up during his 40 years as a seaman. When Shara was 11 or 12 Mr Wright died and the box was never found. Shara remembers hearing her mother tell some relatives that uncle Ed or Ted was a crazy old man and she was not going to waste her time digging up a box of junk. End of story.
What little research I did lead to this: A Ted Wright did receive mail at the Galveston Post Office till 1943. There are no property records of him owning land on the west end but thats not uncommon as most land there was owned by 3 family's that leased land for 20 years or so to build fishing camps so getting a address was impossible. Before Shara died in 1992 we rode around the area and the place she point out that she thought the camp had been in now part of the state park.
You can not hunt in the park any longer. You could get a permit to MD there up to 2005 when they quit selling them.
I keep a eye on the area in hopes of one day getting in to hunt it for a while.
