If you say so... STILL not convinced."What ifs" and "possibilities" are the foundation of research. Without these motivations there would be no research and no discoveries. And like the man said, first have to eliminate the possibilities......until one does all else is just blind assumption.
Jean, sorry, but I think ARRC made a correct reference when he used Swiss cheese as example. Do you really think Thomas Beale was a live and well when his estate was being so highly contested, because make no mistake, Thomas J. Beall was alive and well known during the period. So you can scrap the Smyrna non-sense. Very clearly the TJB of the Smyrna was not "a part" of your Fincastle Beale.
"Excuse me, Supreme Court, but TJB is still alive and well and serving at post."
You just can't keep mixing up "all of the various profiles" of these Bealls/Beals/Beales as if they were the same man when they very-very clearly were not.

Right, and? All of this is just proving that he wasn't your man. Couldn't possibly be your man. You can't take just a tiny portion of it and twist that tiny portion into only what you want to believe.....you have to take that entire information. Not a chance that he's your Fincastle Beale.
LT Thomas Jones Beall is not my man !
This is just to prove your dates are wrong that you have said he LT Thomas Beall was going down the river on the Syrna .
The Fact that Captain Thomas J Beale Sr was the man going down the river is what I am looking at .
I know this can be confusing for some of our seasoned arm chair history buffs like ECS, but I am simply looking at ONE name on my list .
Captain Thomas J Beale Sr born in VA Fincastle area moved to New Orleans about 1809 or so and was TJB
AND! There is NO documented middle name/initial for THOMAS BEALE, Sr. of Fincastle, Va./New Orleans, La.You're missing the point.....it doesn't matter how you go about it....."the extended service dates" of these various Beall's establish that they were all still alive well after the Thomas Beale of Fincastle death, regardless which date of death for him one wishes to select. So VERY CLEARLY these are different individuals.
Been to Rickerville?
What is confusing is how you have added a "J" to the name of Thomas Beale when there never was one.

?And...?
There was/is NO Thomas J. Beale, Sr.; ONLY Thomas Beale, Sr.! Show Documentation "of Christening"...Thomas Beale of Fincastle death, this is the problem there is no death of this beale . I can not find it and no one here can prove it .
Sorry guy's the death of Thomas J Beale Sr is not proven and remains open no matter how much you wish him dead in 1820 . Just looking for the hard evidence that no one has . No one has proof just what someone said and that is not good evidence . You have been bewitched into thinking this man is dead .
I have documentation of Thomas Beale and his wife Celeste Beale at a christening in 1822 after his last daughter was born .
Were is the evidence that this man is dead to trump this evidence he was alive
