Now then, could "Clay"... mentioned in the "Job Print" have been Clement C. Clay, CSA/KGC agent in Canada...?

Any idea of the timeline regarding this passage? "This house he conducted for many years, enjoying the friendship and countenance of the first men of the country. Amongst his guests and devoted personal friends Jackson, Clay, Coles, Witcher, Chief Justice Marshall, and a host of others scarcely less distinguished, might be enumerated"

Henry Clay Sr. (April 12, 1777 – June 29, 1852) was an American attorney and statesman who represented Kentucky in both the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives, served as seventh speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and served as the ninth U.S. secretary of state. He received electoral votes for president in the 1824, 1832, and 1844 presidential elections and helped found both the National Republican Party and the Whig Party. For his role in defusing sectional crises, he earned the appellation of the "Great Compromiser."

I believe that was embellished into the story to make it look like the story really happened. I can not say for sure whether the Beale Treasure is just a story or whether it is real. I have found no evidence of the two trips out to Sante Fe. I have found two brothers in Bedford County that had a timeline that seemed as though they were investingating and trying to find the letter in St. Louis. One was in 1862, the year that Robert Morris passed away. Then again after the Civil War was over the other brother went to St. Louis. This last brother had paid for his other brother to make the first trip. Then he borrowed money from this brother to make his trip. Sounded like he was not satisfied and wanted to check it out for himself. He passed away within a year after the trip. They both had dealings and business with James Beverly Ward. Robert Morris died in their back yard. Other than that and finding where Robert Morris died and James Beverly Wards plantation Hunter's Hill where Robert Morris' wife Sarah died. Not much for over 55 years work. I forgot to mention I believe I found the cemetery at Hunter's Hill but the land owner would not let the State Archeologist in to investigate. That is all I have found in a lifetime of searching.

All had connections to Lynchburg.
Rev Charles Green Clay (12/24/1745- 02/08/1820)
Col Issac Coles (03/02/1747-06/03/1813}
Major William Witcher (1737-1803)
Chief John Marshall (09/24/1755-07/06/1835)
Andrew Jackson, for whom James Beverly Risqué and Pascal Buford held a banquet in Lynchburg, Risqué having served under Jackson during the Battle of New Orleans and the Florida Campaign was hoping to received an appointment in the Florida Territorial Government.
The reference of "this house" makes the time period pre Beale visit, the exception being the Jackson mention.

*NOTE* Three of James Beverly Ward's children, two daughters and son, moved to the panhandle of Florida, in an area that their great grandfather Risqué served along side with Davy Crockett under Andrew Jackson during the Florida Campaign.

They were the "distinguished" guests whose names would be locally known to the pamphlet buyers in Lynchburg,

Yeah, just below your name in the Washington Hotel register. :wink:

Wouldn't it be nice to find those old Washington Inn registers at the homesite where Robert Morris died. I got to get up there sometime and look around.

Washington INN was M's home at the HEAD of Main Street of Lynchburg; NOTHING remains. Where did "M" die in 1863...?
