Tad10...Agreed. I (and someone I know) am on to the complexity. If you wish to converse privately (and I say this only as I am under strict confidentiality) I will write you on PM. Thanks for the "nice guy" comment...I am a nice guy...IMO. The Beale is fiction...but, no hoax.

Robert Morriss was NOT one of the "Adventurers"; hence, NO name. Yes, I do have it, franklin; want the names from BC # 3...?

I have it all on my computer but "microsoft word is not working" so I can not read them. If you want to scan a photocopy that is fine with me. It is copyrighted.

I KNOW it is copyrighted, that is why I have to have from YOU (in writing, HERE), permission; I cannot scan 'em. Can just "type" out names, etc. So...

This decoding has been done by me . Not sure why so many people would say they did something just to sell a book . Not much of a market out there for a book on the Beale Papers only .

I have it working now, Rebel KGC. Thanks anyway. Their names were Pat Hamilton and Eren or John Ranson. Toler Ranson that searched for the Beale Treasure with Buck Wright, Pauline Innis and Walter Innis most likely descended from Eren or John Ranson. I say Eren or John because it was a four letter name ending with the letter "n"

So far every comment in this thread concerning the codes has supported my position that they can become whatever anyone desires them to be. In fact, we're even seeing that the story itself can become whatever anyone desires it to be.

Were that the original intention of the writer(s) they succeeded grandly.
Kept a lot of folks busy, with no proof of a tangible treasure ...beyond claims.

......just goes to show that you've not been paying attention at all. Everyone here knows it's Bee-ale.

The amount of traffic going to and from Lynchburg and Richmond was quite large, especially over a 36 week period, so no doubt that folks in Richmond were hearing of those ads. There was "a lot" of business interest and personal family contact and communication going back and forth all the time. Buford, per example, even rented out slaves in Richmond, etc., etc. etc. So the complete absence of any local and regional buzz is a valid and curious note.

Going by the standard the Beale story is held to, we have to say there is no good reason to believe that many, if any, in Richmond would have known of something advertised in the Lynchburg newspaper. Business interest is one thing, but exchanging newspaper ads, which was evidently viewed as bunk anyway, is another.

C3 mentioned Robert Morris as custodian of the Beale Papers at the very end by saying, "and your share."
You seem like a nice guy, but you did not actually decipher the initial encoding on C3. You should have gotten a phrase like "Add RTM Wash Hotel" after the list of names followed by a Nota Bene/Postscript.

So all of those genealogical related newspaper ads are/were, well, just bunk anyway. Right?
But ok, have it your way, nobody back in the day gave any mind to 36 newspaper ads promising huge wealth if only somebody could find it. Strange, the single word "authentic" sure hooked you, and thousands more, and you're not even a potential heir. Just saying.....PS: And with a single word, "gold" an entire nation was stirred to brave everything and risk everything and travel across country, again and again. Yet nobody gave a thought to the promise of a vast fortune just four miles from Bufords?
"Fat chance!" Unless of course, they had good reason to believe otherwise.

I'm a cache hunter, so any treasure story gets my attention. This is not the case for most people. Imagine your town today advertising such a thing, and a town roughly 1/4 the size of your town going crazy over it. For that matter, imagine ANY town going crazy over it. It just doesn't happen. I've been a cache hunter for a long time, and I can tell you, most people laugh at the idea of buried treasure. Add in codes, etc., and try advertising that. Go ahead and do that and see what responses you get. For that matter, look at most treasure hunting sites. How many cache hunters do you think believe in the Beale treasure? But the greater point here is, would anyone in Richmond have even seen the Lynchburg ad? Richmond was much larger than Lynchburg, and had it's own newspapers for people to read, so why would they follow events in little Lynchburg? In a different scenario you would probably call that impossible. To us the Beale story is a huge story, because it has grown into a huge story since it was published in 1885, but in 1885 it was nothing but a small ad in a small newspaper which most people, even in Lynchburg, apparently didn't give a second glance. If you don't believe it, show me where the multitudes flocked to hunt for the Beale treasure in 1885. BTW, the word "authentic" didn't hook me.
I didn't say anything was bunk. What I said was, in the minds of most people was, and is, bunk.
