Looking for information on the Thomas Beal that has been revealed in the broken cipher. According to a Beale expert, the correct spelling of Beale's name is (BEAL). 

Who broke this "broken cipher" that you mention?Looking for information on the Thomas Beal that has been revealed in the broken cipher. According to a Beale expert, the correct spelling of Beale's name is (BEAL).![]()
I have seen TJB's name spelled Beale, Beal, and Beall. Back in those days, the misspelling and variations of a name were common. I have a friend who has a ledger from the early 1800's with his family's name spelled at least seven different ways. In our "neck of the woods", we have Beal and Beall. No Beale with the "e". Our Thomas Beall died in 1823. He was a Revolutionary war Captain with the Rawlings (Maryland) and Virginia Rifle regiment.
Who broke this "broken cipher" that you mention?
With all those who have claimed to have "broke" the ciphers, one almost needs to buy a program to keep up who the current claimant is.
I reckon you are NOT referring to Franklin.
Not dragging you anywhere.
In the past you have posted your solutions of both C1 and C3 which of all "solved" cipher claims presented over the years, seem the most plausible.
That, Franklin, is a compliment.
No reason to arm the populace with pitchforks and storm the castle.
What five to which you refer?i am not seeing a lot of people that have claimed to have done that. i have been looking for them all for the last few months and only see 5.

Eh... you think...?like the guy said if the last name of thomas was beal and not beale with an e on the end, in the ciphers. i would seem that the people that made the book the beale papers had no idea how to spell beal's last name.
