What does this have to do with the Beale Treasure? So Austin went to Texas in 1821 and had land grants from the Spanish. It did not last long a year or two. Daniel Boone was also given land by the Spanish in Missouri as well as scores of other families such as the Cooper Family. Cooperstown ring a bell. Yes Spanish land grants were granted but most of the Anglo-Americans did not move in to Texas until the 1830's. Hardly proves anything connected to the Beale Treasure in Bedford County, Virginia or the locals that lived and printed the story in Campbell County, Virginia.
You guys keep focusing on the "Beale Papers" instead of focusing on all the other information that YOU NEED TO FULLY UNDERSTAND FIRST. Per example, for years and years posters have been posting inaccurate rhetoric in regards to Spain's iron first in the Southwest, claiming that Spain wanted nothing to do with Americans in their territories. But this information is 100% inaccurate, just as the Moses case details, just as the Beale case details, etc. America was full of all manner of opportunist and Spain and Mexico was entertaining them even before the Adams Onis Treaty, these opportunist pursuing all manner of land grab and get rich schemes in the Spanish/Mexican west, including insurgencies, some of these in full cooperation with Mexican sources. You want to know how a man ends up with the nickname "Mexico" as early as 1815 and you need look no further for your answer, the man's own history even hinting at such. In order to find certain things that lead back to Virginia you must leave Virginia in order to find them, research what you have long avoided or allowed yourselves to consider. Doesn't matter what I show you here or what I tell you here, what matters is what you find for yourself as that is the only way you'll ever understand everything I've explained and suggested to you. You guys keep saying that I have failed to make a direct connection between Thomas J. Beale and the pamphlet but in this you are clearly wrong.
