Richard Beale was born at Hickory Hill Plantation, Cople Parish,Westmoreland County, Virginia (the home of the Turberville's since the early 1700's) to Richard Lee Turberville Beale and Lucy Maria Brown. As a youth he was tutored and later read law with his father along with his cousin, Robert Beale Davis, nephew of R.L.T. Beale. In Virginia Richard married a cousin, Emma Baber Garnett. Richard and his father had served with Emma's father, Col. Thomas Stuart Garnett, M.D. in the Virginia 9th Cavalry. Emma's mother was Emma Lavinia Baber of Spy Hill, Tetotum, King George, Virginia In December of 1874 Richard and Emma had a daughter, Genevieve Garnett Beale but the baby girl died Aug 9, 1875 and was buried in the cemetery at Spy Hill in King George County, Virginia with Emma's family. It was very shortly after the death of their daughter that the Beales moved west to Texas as had many of his contemporaries. In Corsicana Richard became a judge and a leading citizen of the town and of his church.
Sadly, Richard's career was cut short by the lingering effects of the scourge of camp fever that he had contracted during his stay as a P.O.W. prior to his transfer to the Westmoreland holding area and subsequent ransom by his father. After his death his widow left Texas to return to King George County to live with her relatives. Emma remarried and was again widowed shortly after. She is buried with her daughter in the Spy Hill Cemetery.
