Additional evidence

Come on Rebel KGC, If he is young that goes well for our hunt to be carried on after we are gone. Give him a break and help him out. We may not get to do this much longer and we need someone else to carry on in our place if this mystery is ever to be solved.
 

Yesterday, I found documented proof that Thomas Beale Sr. of New Orleans, LA. originally from Fincastle, Botetourt County, Virginia died in 1820. It does not say month and day but I narrowed it down to between September 2nd and September 15th, so the newspaper's account of him being buried around September 9th, 1820 is most likely correct. It also says that Thomas Beale Jr. died in 1823 so much to what Jean Laf was posting. This is a court document. I tried for two days to copy it but it would not let me. I will make contacts on Monday to get a hard copy some how. The book it was in cost $99. or more. So a copy is better. I have the page in my computer but there is no way to make a copy. On with the search.
 

Does that eliminate the Uptown Plantation New Orleans Thomas Beales , Sr and Jr, from being the Thomas Beale character of the Beale Papers job print pamphlet?

Yes sir it surely does. Even though Thomas Beale Jr. was younger and could have buried the treasure before he passed a way in 1823, he did not as he was in debt $125,000. So that eliminates both father and son from Fincastle, Virginia.
 

Can we also eliminate Captain Thomas J Beall, Harpers Ferry , who took the keelboat SMYRNA to New Orleans?

Please stop these agenda driven questions. No one want to argue with you.

I would think so since he had a letter waiting for him over 200 miles up the Missouri River. A letter that I might add he picked up. This was the Captain Thomas J. Beall that was stationed at Ft. Armstrong and later went up for the rank of Major around 1832.
 

Can we agree that we can eliminate the Thomas Beale Sr and Thomas Beale Jr, and Captain Thomas J Beall of the Smyrna and Fort Armstrong as the Beale of the job pamphlet?
We can also add the Thomas J Beale of Botetourt county who died in Shasta , California, and Richmond Jackson Ward Alderman Thomas Jefferson Beale to that list.
How about Thomas Beale of the Fauquier county, Virginia Beales, who were involved with the Franklin gold mine?
Is there any evidence that can make him the Beale of the job print pamphlet?
 

None that I have found yet other than he never showed up in the Fauquier County records until about 1832 or 1834 when his father passed away. So no paper trail to follow unless he recorded them in another county such as Campbell or Richmond County, Va. where he was born.
 

There were also several Thomas J Beales and one Thomas Jefferson Beale from Pennsylvania during the given time period, but
"It was decided that it should be sent to Virginia...and securely buried in a cave near Buford's tavern, in the county of Bedford, WHICH ALL OF US HAD VISITED..." Beale letter, January 4, 1822- THE BEALE PAPERS
This letter clearly makes the point that "all" knew well this area of Bedford county, so we can dismiss all non Virginian Beales as the Beale of the job print pamphlet.

Way that I "see" it, is that they could have known of the "so-called" cave; SOME of 'em coulda have moved to St. Loo PREVIOUS to 1817 & met up with TJB & Associates in St. Loo... for a LARGER "expedition force". I think the other 20 were from St. Loo; some were FRENCH "Fur-Trappers", looking for Buffalo & Bear to kill, "skin", & sell... BUT!
