Don't know about the "one that moved WEST"... MORE, please.There is NO "J" in Thomas Beale, Sr's name of Botetourt County, Va.; NOR Thomas Beale, Jr...

Thomas J Beale , born 1826 in Botetourt county, Virginia is not Beale Sr or Jr, nor Jackson Ward Alderman Thomas J Beale, and it appears he was not directly related to either.There is NO "J" in Thomas Beale, Sr's name of Botetourt County, Va.; NOR Thomas Beale, Jr...
Why don't you tell us what you know, or suspect, it is ,after all a part of this current theory of yours.Born 1823 in Richmond, Thomas J Beale who became Jackson Ward Alderman married Sophia Pemberton, October 1, 1851.
They had five children, John T (1852), Charles (1855), Edward(1857), Anne E (1858), and Sarah(1859).
While Thomas J Beale's parents are unknown, it is obvious that Dr John Charles Beales of England, later New York, married Dolores de Soto 1830 in Mexico and raised her daughter from a previous marriage.
Much of the Dr John Charles Beales information is in the links I provided above.
There is NO connection between the Alderman and the Dr and NO connection to Ward's copyrighted 1885 Beale Papers...
So what do you know about John T., the one from Texas? For instance, where was he born, etc.? The more we learn about him the more we learn about the alderman. Yes? Where were his other children born, etc.?

If you'll go back to the beginnings of this thread you'll see where that is exactly what I was intending to do, and doing so, but you weren't going to have any part of it. Good lord, man, I've lost count of the number of wasted post you've exhausted on this thread alone just trying to prevent me from posting what you now say you want to hear?
In fact, you've tried everything in your power to prevent this thread from progressing forward.......
.....thank heavens there's still emails and PMs for those who really do want to know, hear it. 

If you say so.![]()
In fact, just go review the last hundred or so threads in this forum and do the same thing.....
. You're just all about the pursuit of argument, even baseless ones, anywhere, anytime.


Crystal ball, again? Local lore and romance? Was alderman Beale from some alien species that controls both reproduction organs and thus he is his own mother and father, perhaps?
Just another completely baseless attempt at pursuing pointless argument at all cost, even your own. Once again, tell us who were Alderman Beale's parents, it is already been established that they were NOT the Englishman Dr John Charles Beales and his Mexican wife, Dolores de Soto Beales whom he married in 1830 and neither were ever in Virginia or Richmond where the Alderman was born in 1823 (he is not the Thomas J Beale who was born 1826 in Botetourt county), and finally, HOW is any and all of this current historical grab bag theory of your connected to Ward and to the story that he copyrighted and publish in 1885 Lynchburg.
You are very good at deflecting this question by blaming me as an obstructionist, but as many have observed, it is just one of many ploys employed at avoiding posting the answer that you do not possess.
....who said that Charles Beale/Beale's and his wife were the alderman's parents? I've certainly never suggested that.
All I've suggested is that the two families were possibly related.

Not sure where you're getting your info but it ain't from me.

First you state that Dolores de Soto was "most likely" the mother of Jackson Ward Alderman Thomas J Beale, who was born 1823 in Richmond, now you deny that statement.... Thomas J. Beale of Richmond is a direct descendant of the Thomas Beale that took part in the Mexican rebel struggle for Independence. Thomas J. Beale of Richmond, while a freeman of color was not black, but rather he had Mexican blood, his mother most likely being Dolores de Soto Beales, wife of John Charles Beale...
In 1886 John T. Beale and his wife traveled from Texas to visit John's father, Thomas J. Beale of Richmond. This was the critical link that everyone was missing...
First you state that Dolores de Soto was "most likely" the mother of Jackson Ward Alderman Thomas J Beale, who was born 1823 in Richmond, now you deny that statement.
Are you having trouble keeping your versions straight?
As Franklin noticed, there is a whole lot of ping pong in your historical grab bag version of the 1885 Beale Papers.
...."most likely" isn't the same as "is"....
.....what I have suggested is that there is a connection between the Texas Beale and the alderman Beale, this having been established by the tracing of the alderman's children, etc.
I figured they'd at least catch that obvious blunder but apparently not.

But I'm so glad you and Franklin and others are in support of each other as you are.....this explaining why you can post, with 100% certainty, that there is no possible connection between these two families when you don't even know who the alderman's parents were, and then Franklin and others so on board with your battle that it completely blows over their heads that there is no possible way you could draw that conclusion without knowing who the alderman's parents were.I figured they'd at least catch that obvious blunder but apparently not.

There is no blunder by Rebel KGC, ECS or myself. You started this thread that you were going to blow the cast iron lids off of Beale. Then you come up with a connection that you can not establish and you want us to establish it or believe that there is a connection. Sorry but you need to keep on blowing.

And I can go on and on and on.......
.....obviously all a local thing, for sure. 
I'm curious why you keep making that ridiculous statement about "Grandpa Risque's fabulous library" while ignoring all the other family connections to the Beale story that I have posted?... I'm curious as to how ECS can deduce that Ward and others wrote the pamphlet using various materials from grandpa Risque's fabulous library when he can't even place those people and those materials in that alleged fabulous library? ...
I'm curious why you keep making that ridiculous statement about "Grandpa Risque's fabulous library" while ignoring all the other family connections to the Beale story that I have posted?
....what in all of your fantastical magical family connections theory can you actually directly connect to the pamphlet? Ward, perhaps, who is only described as being just the agent? Where does all of this other family connection come into play in the pamphlet, exactly? Might it just all be "creative speculation and conjecture?"
Yes, that's all it is, period!
So please, and here we go yet again, another paddle-around within the same pond, something you've just not grasped yet, "can you show us all of your directly connecting evidence?" As far as I know you still don't have any.....
"Quack! Quack!" Trust me, I'm not ignoring anything you post as being fact.....just I didn't ignore your previous "factual summation" regarding the alderman's parents, or lack of. Same ole message. I believe you have posted about 10,000 times. As for the Spanish Archives---------The last time you asked I told you they are on line. Find them? I had to get them through Inter-Library Loan. They are translated into English just like everything else these days.
I think you need to check again.....
