So what you're proposing is that Thomas Beale of Fincastle was alive and well even as his estate was being settled, and that he was still enlisted and on active duty well into the 1830's. In the meantime his kids, family, friends, associates, debtors, estate executors, and even the courts were oblivious to the fact that he was still alive. :laughing7: Not too shabby for a guy who had famous duel with Risque and saved New Orleans....I can see how easy it was for him to remain so obscure. :laughing7: He was known on the river boats, praised in New Orleans, famous in the Lynchburg region, and was well know to the military. Yet nobody bothered to tell his kids, family, friends, associates, acquaintances, estate executors, debtors, the military, or the courts that he was still alive. Absolutely amazing, indeed, and quite impossible. :laughing7:
 

...and don't forget Chloe Delancy of Botetourt county, Virginia, mother of Thomas Beale Jr, court claim against the Beale estate.
 

A RETURN TO JACKSON WARD,RICHMOND

You're about to learn a great deal about the local history that you don't know...
Jackson Ward was formed by the white business and political leaders of Richmond to contain the influx of newly Freemen. During the years of 1871-1888, Jackson Ward had 33 Alderman on Richmond's Board of Alderman.
The RICHMOND PLANET was the African-American newspaper of Jackson Ward that covered political, business, and current events of Jackson Ward, including crime, births, obituaries, and church news. The editor of THE RICHMOND PLANET in 1884, was John Mitchell, who became Alderman in 1892.
The most noted Jackson Ward Alderman were Josiah Crump who served 1876-1884 and then 1888-1890.
Edinboro Archer who served 1882-1888.
I have spent many hours today pouring over the 1884 RICHMOND PLANET archives, and have not found any mention of Alderman Thomas J Beale.
Was his term as Alderman short?
Always more questions.

I sent you an e.
Also worth looking into is Ward's possible family/business connections in Richmond? Could be his name might show up somewhere interesting?

Have not found a mention of the Ward family in the RICHMOND PLANET.

I was going to do an ancestry search, court search, etc., but have just not gotten around to it. There is someone planning to do a deep first hand search as soon as he can create the time to go to Richmond and snoop around but don't know when that might be? There's still a lot out there to be sifted through.

ANOTHER THOMAS BEALE, ANOTHER TREASURE VAULT

The Hon Thomas Beale was a vestryman at Bruton Church, Williamsburg, Virginia.
Bruton Church is rumored to hold the treasure vault of Francis Bacon.
He is buried at his plantation near Mulberry Point, York River, Virginia.
It seems tales of treasure vaults and Beale go back to Colonial times.
 

I wonder sometimes if the Beale Treasure is not the Bacon Treasure of the Templar's. Never know. I believe President Thomas Jefferson hid the treasures from the vault in Williamsburg. Could very well be?
