SO! R & I from MANY sources agree with what Richard/Brad wrote in ONE LETTER, ONE ENCLOSURE; SUBJECT: THE BEALE TREASURE... "Somewhere between the Fall of 1806, and May, 1807... a dispute arose between Thomas (Beale, Sr.) and James (Beverly Risque - Attorney) concerning a 16 year old girl" named Judy/Julia HANCOCK (in Fincastle, Va.). Judy/Julia's father was Col. George HANCOCK, and BOTH were descendants of John HANCOCK, signer of ORIGINAL DOI. it was a FAMILY HONOR "Issue"; Thomas Beale, Sr. shot James Beverly Risque (who survived his wound). Thomas Beale, Sr.
fled to New Orleans, La. and James Beverly Risque, later moved to Lynchburg, Va. with his 3 kids (after his wife, Elizabeth Kennerly died). JBR's kids were Adeline, Ferdinand, & Harriet; Adeline later married Giles Ward, father of JAMES BEVERLY WARD, and was "willed" her father's HUNTING HILLS plantation/farm upon HIS (JBR) death. JAMES BEVERLY WARD (grand-son of JBR) is buried there.

MORE about Thomas Beale, Sr. from Richard/Brad... "One writer, who knew Thomas... described him as a braggart, and an excellent marksman".

Harriet, daughter of JBR... married the father of Maj. Ferdinand C. Hutter (CSA); COUSIN of JAMES BEVERLY WARD.

A "family honor issue". Which is what I have always maintained, and not actually over the girl, per say.

NO CAN DO... NOT interested; later, will "do" Thomas, "Jr." Beale (TJB)... who died a few years after his father... in New Orleans (1823). Did they lose in duels...?

Would you like me to tell you who the author was....? :laughing7: I'm pretty sure that I can....
 

Reb, when did Hutter die? And when was he born? What was his formal education?
