Mr Beals (1806-1870) is important enough...
his grave is listed at Find A Grave. Tall obelisk looking thing.
He may have been involved in perfecting details of the Jenks breechloading carbine when Remington bought out the contract for this gun from Ames. He was for sure working for Ames at the time.
He also of a certainty designed the Whitney Navy, sort of forgotten today, but much purchased by the US in the Civil War.
