August 14, 1291: The Knights Templar evacuated their last standing Castle at Atlit and started their new headquarters in Cyprus. The Templar Castle at Atlit was greatest they had ever built and it had never been taken by siege. The Mamuks demolished it so it could never again be used against the forces of islam. The destruction of the last Crusader stronghold in the Holy land was proof to many that God no longer approved of sunch violence. [1]
Fort Pitt-Monday. August 14th. 1775. Left Mr. DeCamps Dined at Turtle Creek. Arrived at Fort Pitt in the evening with only two Dollars in my pocket and very shabby dress. Put up my horse at the best Inn in town. Know the Landlady to be a Tory. Sister-in-law to Major Connolly.[2]
August 14, 1776: When the English at Detroit kept the Indians stirred up along the frontiers to the westward, Washington created what he designated as the Western Department, with headquarters at Fort Pitt. There were two important groups in this department, due to their having enlisted under the banner of different colonies. Those west of the Monongahela River were in the Virginia regiments, and there is just a little confusion as to the number of these regiments, due to the assignments of Colonel William Crawford. He did not remain in the service long, for he was back at Heathtown and was in his place as a justice of the Yohogania court during the latter years of the Revolution, until he started up to Sandusky. He had first gone to the Virginia capital at Williamsburg, where he was commissioned as a lieutenant-colonel of the 5th Virginia Regiment on February 13, 1776, and served there until promoted as colonel of the 7th Regiment on August 14, 1776. He is credited with having raised this regiment largely in the district of West Augusta. It was attached to General Woodford’s brigade and was nearly cut to pieces at the battle of Brandywine. Colonel Crawford served with this regiment until March 4, 1777.
The 13th Virginia Regiment was sent east to become a part of General Muhlenberg’s brigade and in September, 1778, was renumbered as the 9th Virginia, being sent west of the Alleghenies for service in the spring of 1779. It reported John Gibson as colonel; Richard Campbell as lieutenant-colonel, and Richard Taylor as major, with five captains and 275 rank and file.[3]

August 14, 1776: REGIMENT VON MIRBACH
(MIR plus company number)
The Regiment V. Mirbach departed on March 1, 1776 from Melsungen. It embarked from Breznerlehe on May 12, 1776 and reached New York on August 14, 1776. The regiment was part of the Hessian First Division and took part in the following major engagements:
-- Long Island (NY, August 27, 1776)
-- Fort Washington (upper Manhattan, NY, November 16, 1776)
-- Brandywine (PA, September 11, 1777)
-- Redbank (Gloucester County, NJ, also known as Fort Mercer, October 22-November 21, 1777)
The regiment departed from New York on 21 November
1783 and arrived at Breznerlehe on April 20, 1784.
They returned to their quarters in Melsungen on May 30, 1784.
August 14, 1777- (Records of Moravian Congregation at Hebron, 1775-1781) Much disquiet prevails, because tomorrow and the day following the first and second classes of militia are to march. [5]
August 14, 1778: 617,500 pounds of fresh beef
According to Volume 12 of the ―Journals of the Continental Congress‖, page 869, an August 14, 1778 War Office document shows that Colonel George Morgan, the ―purchasing Commissary for the Western department‖, requested 617,500 pounds of fresh beef.[6]
August 17, 1782:
In a message sent the general assembly of Pennsylvania by President Moore, August 14th, following, he says: “We had great reason to apprehend a severe blow would be aimed at the frontiers by the Indians. Our fears, in this respect, have been but too well justified by events that have since happened, and there is reason to believe that the blow has fallen with redoubled force, in consequence of the killing of the Moravian indians at Mps. kingum lupon that branch now known as the Tuscarawas], an act which never had our approbation or countenance in any manner whatever.” The report of the committee of the assembly upon so much of his message as related to the killing of the Moravian Indians was made the next day, as follows:
“Your committee are of opinion that an inquiry, on lega) principles, ought to be instituted respecting the killing of the Moravian Indians, at Muskingum — an act disgraceful to humanity and productive of the most disagreeable and dangerous consequences.
“Resolved, therefore, that this house will give every support in their power to the supreme executive council toward prosecuting an inquiry respecting the killing of the Moravian Indians at Muskingum.”
Nothing further, however, was ever done in an official way, either by the United States, Pennsylvania or Virginia, “tending to elucidate the dark transaction.”[7]
LETTER OF JUDGE RICHARD PETERS TO REUBEN HAINES, OF
GERMANTOWN.
BELMONT, Thursday, August 14, 1823.
Tomorrow is my weekly Court day, & I have an opinion to prepare for
the morning. This will occupy part of the afternoon, and forbids my
enjoying the pleasure of your table, tho' the day seems now (1 o'clock)
inviting.
Nothing gratifies me more than to witness the dawnings of education in
the rising generation. I am " young enough" to enjoy them, as the only
means of ensuring the safety and permanence of the only free govern-
ment in this wayward and indescribable world ; in which the uneducated
herds of Bipeds are Beasts of Burthen to the lordly Flock-Masters,
the soi disant Legitimates, and their Bailiffs and Cattle drivers, called
Ministers.
Altho' you calmly witnessed my being charged as an enemy to Cattle
Shows, I am nevertheless one of their warmest friends ; including always
the Alderneys, most prominently. Yet the first wishes of my heart are
the Shows of educating and educated Bipeds. Without this training &
breaking of our boast human reason it is more subject to error and
abuse than is the instinct of Brutes.
More than half a century ago, your Germantown Academy was one of
my Pets. I have still an ardent wish for its prosperity. D. J. Dove, the
first principal, was my Tutor in the Philadelphia Academy. He was a
sarcastical & illtempered Doggrelizer. He was in the habit of shewing
me his productions in Hudibrastic. One day he was told, that honest
Melchior Ming, one of the Trustees, with whom he was on bad terms,
had cried bitterly at Church, under the excitement of an eloquent dutch
funeral sermon, Dove took out his pencil, and stained the back of a Letter
with the following couplet.
" Be not surprised that Melchior cries on Sunday ;
He that cheats six, has cause to cry on one day."
He was called Dove, ironically, for his temper was that of a Hawk,
and his pen was the Beak of a Falcon, pouncing on innocent prey.
I am cutting some of the finest Millet I ever had. By way of Experi-
ment, I ploughed a tough soil, 8 & 9 inches deep rolled it and har-
rowed in the Millet. I expected a poor crop, but am wonderfully
pleased at my disappointment. Your Quaker habits are unmilletary, but
your agricultural zest will be gratified.
Believe me academically, gastronomically, and every thing but phari-
saically, yours,
RICHARD PETERS. [8]
August 14, 1855
The warrant #13723 (Ref#21) was not dated for some reason but it was not delivered as of August 14, 1855, as George Spence was still proving his “commission as a Notary Public” according to a letter of that date.(Ref #22)

I think Conrad and Cordelia left for Iowa after August 14, 1855.
It was told to me by Mrs. Nordgren that Conrad Goodlove spent the first winter in Iowa near West Union in Fayette County with others from Ohio that were migrating to Iowa. I have a “paper”, which I found in my father’s possessions, that Earl Goodlove listed the names of several families that came to Iowa at this time, so it appears this move may have been a traditional “wagon train”.[9]
1855
The persons reported living with Conrad and Cordelia in the 1860 census probably came to Iowa with them in 1855. Their names and their ages in 1855 would have been:
Conrad - Age 62,
Cordelia - Age 44 (wife),
Maurice - Age 1, (their only child, a son),
William Harrison Goodlove - Age 28 (son of Catherine and Conrad --- my Great Grandfather)
James Hunter - Age 23 - (a nephew of Milton Read Hunter),
Franklin Hunter - Age 8 (a Grandson of Conrad by Nancy Goodlove Hunter)
Joseph V. Goodlove - Age 23 - (son of Conrad who died June 15, 1857, also buried in Oakshade Cemetery in Marion, Iowa).
According to my letter from Dorothy Nordgren, Cora had told her that “Conrad and group used a farm wagon pulled by a team of oxen. Conrad had a riding horse. William Harrison Goodlove had a pile of belongings and was ready to put in wagon. Conrad said to him and others “Are you going to carry these in a sack on your back?” “Well, they had to leave most behind as the boys walked on hills to lighten load. Just tools and essentials came. His wife, Cordelia, had a bedroom dresser shipped by railway later and oval mirror. (Dorothy has it.) she added in her letter.
Also in her letter Dorothy says that Cora told her, “They crossed the Mississippi near Dubuque”.
In talking about Oscar Goodlove, the missing son of William Harrison Goodlove, she made reference to Conrad. “He (Oscar) like Conrad liked horses and would be happy caring for them “. Ref#__.
In respect to Dorothy Norgren for her effort, I have enclosed all of her letter. It was as a result of visiting with Dorothy at the funeral home, Ref. # ___, that she sent me this information. A few days later I visited the Kentucky State Library and Historical Center in Frankfort -- and the search for Conrad and Caty began![10]
1856
Theopolis McKinnon voted for Fremont for President.[11]

We found a total of 1,015 deportees in Convoy 19. The men were in a slight majority. The largest age grouop for the men is between 43 and 64; for the women, between 39 and 64. There were more than 100 children under. 16.
Adolph Gottlieb born December 2, 1919 from Austria and Sidonie Gottlieb, born December 31, 1903 also of Austria were on board Convoy 19.[17]
The list is almost impossible to decipher. All the family names are blurred. They are followed bgy first name, date and place of birth, profession and nationality. The listing is not alphabetical, and is composed of five sublists, four from camps in the unoccupied zone and one from Drancy.
1. Les Milles, 236 ).
2. Recebedou, 63 names.
3. Noe, 56 names.
4. Rivesaltes, 395 names. The places of birth are not indicated. There were no children. From this camp there were (among a few others) 279 Germans, 76 Poles, and 24 Austrians. They came from the convoy which had left Rivesalotes on August 11 for Drancy, carrying 400 internees: 163 women, 229 men, and 8 children.
5. Drancy, 238 names. Many were families from Paris.
Among the 991 persons listed according to nationality were 571 Germans; 219 POoles; 83 Austrians; 71 French; 11 Russians; 6 Czechs; and 29 undetermined.
On August 14, SS Heinrichsohn composed the usual telex to Eichmann in Berlin, the Inspector of Concentration Camps at Oranienburg, and the Commandant of Auschwitz. He informed the addressees that on that day, at 8:55 AM, train #901/14 left with 1,000 Jews from the station at Drancy for Auschwitz, under the supervision of Feldwebel Kropp. A very important detail is indicated: Heinrichsohn states that “…for the first time, there are children (under 12)…”, (“darunter erstmalig kinder”).
Documents related to this convoy are XXVb-120 (of August 7), and XXVb-121 (of August 10.
Upon their arrival in Auschwitz, 115 men were selected for work (there were exactly 115 men between ages 18 and 42. All the others—at least 875 people, were immediately gassed. Neither woman nor child entered the camp. The 115 received numbers 59229 through 59343.
To the best of our knowledge, there was only one survivor from this convoy in 1945, Nathan Seroka.[18]
• Arnold Gottleib, born August 15,1908, resided Stuttgart, Deportation: from Drancy, August 14,1942, (Frankriech (a)) Auschwitz, missing.[19]
