 "It's only after we find it that archeologist know it exist!"
Trivia Question?
We know who "Jackson, Clay, Coles, and Chief Justice Marshall" were, their individual histories can easily be found without too much effort. But who was, "Witcher" and what was his history?
And an obvious question in regard to these men;
As they pertain to the Beale story, is there a possible reason these names were presented in the pamphlet?

Re: Trivia Question?
Because of the dates, I would say it was John Witcher, son of William Witcher. William died in 1808 in his 80's. John died in 1835 I think.

 Well, there IS a Witcher Family Cemetery established in Amherst County, Va. in 1848; across the James River from BOTH Lynchburg, Va. and EASTERN Bedford County, Va.

Re: Trivia Question?
Most likely this guy;
"Captain John Witcher was one of the most prominent men in the valley; was one of the Justices of the Inferior Court of the Cherokee purchase; had commanded a company at Norfolk, VA in 1812 and a company of Paulding volunteers in 1835 during the war with the Creek Indians, and also a company of State troops in 1838 in the removal of the Cherokee Indians. A man of great courage and resentment; a truly good man to his friends, but thunder and lightning to his enemies. He owned considerable Negro property, land __ and was an old style Virginia gentleman, and a Democrat of the old Clark school."

Do I think either of them are still possibilities? Who knows, maybe. But based on the information that has been picked apart since the publishing of that short article, I no longer think either of these possibilities exist/existed.
