Hmmm...?
The Capt Thomas Beale who was married to Celeste Boucher 'de Grandpre, who the Beale's Rifles in the Battle of New Orleans, owned a nearby plantation, Planters & Merchants Hotel, a gambling and sporting house, knew Jean Lafitte, and was the father of Thomas Beale Jr (Chloe Delancy was the mother), died in New Orleans, Sept 1820.So I think we are back to Captain Thomas Beale as the one who did the cipher. More proof will need to be shown. But he did live to 1824.
... but Capt Thomas Beale from New Orleans, having died in Sept 1820, DID NOT.(As for the Beale heirs, they had moved permanently to Baton Rouge in 1846)

Is that like a California pride group or something?
The problem is that all of these roads have been traveled and hashed out many times in the past with nothing new ever arising from it. It's a vicious circle that just keeps repeating itself.
You have No proof ?
...or was he representing several "unknown authors" , including himself, his wife, and two cousins who contributed to the creation of the 1885 Beale Papers?... JB Ward was ONLY the AGENT for the author...
The problem is that there exists NO EVIDENCE outside of the story presented in the 1885 Beale Papers that a Thomas J Beale was elected captain of a party that has a perilous adventure and discovered gold and silver, stayed at the Washington Hotel and deposited an iron box with Robert Morriss or sent letters to Morriss from St Louis, or stayed a Buford's while building a vault to hold iron pots filled with gold, silver, and jewels, or that Morris told this to the "unknown author" or that the this "unknown author" presented a finished manuscript to James Beverly Ward to act as agent and publisher.The problem is that all of these roads have been traveled and hashed out many times in the past with nothing new ever arising from it. It's a vicious circle that just keeps repeating itself.
FINAL "product" by John William Sherman, based on interview with Maj. Ferdinand Hutter (CSA Paymaster), based on Hutter's "interview" with Robert MORRISS/Morris in 1862/63; SECOND year of the CONFEDERATE WAR...
LOL! "Source" of my R & I come from DIVERSE places LOCALLY! NO Proof will be provided to YOU! I am satisfied with the info & MORE! 'Nuff said!What evidence do you have that Ferdinand Hutter interviewed Robert Morriss in 1862/63? Or any interview with JW Sherman?
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'd just like to see it for myself.
