September 12, 1213: During the Albigensian Crusade, Simon de Montfort, 5th Earl of Leicester, defeated Peter II of Aragon, at the Battle of Muret. The Albigensian Crusade was an effort by the Roman Catholic Church to suppress one of the many heresays that bubbled up to challenge its authority. The Jews were not the direct target of the Crusades but were the unintended victim of the effort. The Jewish subjects of the Counts of Toulouse enjoyed a certain which dismayed Rome when Toulouse was defeated. The Catholics at Rome saw to it that the Jews lost their right to hold public office in this area in the south of France and that they would be treated like Jews in other parts of Europe dominated by the Church.[1]



1213

By the thirteenth century, Roman Catholism had become firmly entrenched in England. This was clearly seen in King John’s recognition of the kingdom as a papal fief in 1213, and the King resigning his crown to the Pope.[2]



September 12, 1229: James I of Aragon began his conquest of Majorca by landing an army at Santa Ponca. When he conquered the island on the last day of the year, “he gave the Jews a quarter in the neighborhood of his palace for their dwellings, granted protection to all Hebrews who wished to settle on the island, guaranteed them the rights of citizens, permitted them to adjudicate their own civil disputes, to kill cattle according to their ritual, and to draw up their wills and marriage contracts in Hebrew. Christians and Moors were forbidden, under severe penalties, to insult the Jews or to take earth and stones from their cemeteries, and the Jews were ordered to complain directly to the king of any act of injustice toward them on the part of the royal officials. They were allowed to charge 20 percent interest on loans, but the amount of interest was not to exceed the capital.”[3]



September 12, 1683: The second and final day of the Battle of Vienna. During the Austro-Ottoman War, a coalition of Christian European Armies defeated the Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Vienna. Many historians date the beginning of the Ottoman Empire and therefore Islam from this event. The Christians marked the start of the final drive to push the forces of Islam out of central and eastern Europe. This was a mixed blessing for the Jewish people. On the one hand the Ottoman Empire had provided a haven for Jews forced to leave Spain and Portugal. On the other hand. On the other hand, the Christian victory had the unintended consequence ensuring that Europe would continue to be fertile ground for the growth of capitalism. This economic system helped to provide European Jews with unprecendented economic social and economic opportunity. “An oft-repeated story states that the bagel orignated in 1683 in Vienna, Austria, when a local Jewish baker created them as a gift for King Jan III Sobieski of Poland to commemorate the King’s victory over the Turks that year. The baked goods were fashioned in the form of a stirrup (or horseshoe, tales vary) to commemorate the victorious cavalry charge. That the name bagel originated from beugal (stirrup) is considered plausible by many, both from the similarities of the word and due to the fact that traditional handmade bagels are not perfectly circular but rather slightly stirrup shaped.[4]

September 12, 1685: Jews in New Amsterdam petition to be allowed to worship their religion publicly. Their wishes were not approved, because

They did not, “profess faith in Christ.” During this time strict Christian observance was mandatory.[5]



September 12, 1695: The governor of New York was petitioned to allow the Jews to exercise their religion in public. It seems that the Charter of Liberties granted by James I of England in 1683, applied only to Christians. Therefore, the governor declined the petition. Apparently this ban was not enforced since by the end of the 17th century, a building on Beaver Street in Manhattan was known as the “Jewish Synagogue.” In 1730, Congregaqtion Shearith Israel (Remnant of Israel) publicly dedicated its new house of worship.[6]



Thursday September 12, 1754

Troops from New York, Maryland, North and South Carolina begin building a fort at Wills Creek, Maryland (present day Cumberland Maryland) to prevent incursions by the French into British territory. [7]

Septembber 12, 1776: Strength Estimates of American Forces

August 27, 1776: estimated totals 28,500 officers and men; effectives 19,000

This is an historian’s careful estimate by Henry P. Johnston, adjusting strength returns from August 3 and September 12, 1776. Johnston identifies 71 regiments or parts of regiments, of which 25 were Continental. His estimate is very close to Washington’s report on September 2 that “our number of men at present fit for duty is under 20,000.”[10]







TO MADAME DE LAFAYETTE from Marquis De Lafayette



Philadelphia, September 12th, 1777.



I write you a line, my dearest love, by some French officers, my

friends, who embarked with me, but, not having received any appointment

in the American army, are returning to France. I must begin by telling

you that I am perfectly well, because I must end by telling you that we

fought seriously last night, and that we were not the strongest on the

field of battle. Our Americans, after having stood their ground for

some time, ended at length by being routed: whilst endeavouring to

rally them, the English honoured me with a musket ball, which slightly

wounded me in the leg,--but it is a trifle, my dearest love; the ball

touched neither bone nor nerve, and I have escaped with the obligation

of lying on my back for some time, which puts me much out of humour. I

hope that you will feel no anxiety; this event ought, on the contrary,

rather to reassure you, since I am incapacitated from appearing on the

field for some time: I have resolved to take great care of myself; be

convinced of this, my love. This affair, will, I fear, be attended with

bad consequences for America. We will endeavour, if possible, to repair

the evil. You must have received many letters from me, unless the

English be equally

ill-disposed towards my epistles as towards my legs. I have not yet

received one letter, and I am most impatient to hear from you. Adieu; I

am forbidden to write longer. For several days I have not had time to

sleep. Our retreat, and my journey hither, took up the whole of last

night; I am perfectly well taken care of in this place. Tell all my

friends that I am in good health. My tender respects to Madame d'Ayen.

A thousand compliments to the viscountess and my sisters. The officers

will soon set out. They will see you; what pleasure! Good night, my

dearest life! I love you better than ever.[11]



SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1784:



At Fayette County, Pennsylvania : " September 12. Left

Daughertys about 6 oclock stopped awhile at the Great

Meadows and viewed a tenement I have there ... is a very

good stand for a Tavern. Dined at M r Thomas Gists [Mount

Braddock] at the Foot of Laurel, distant from the Meadows

12 Miles, and arrived at Gilbert Simpsons about 5 oclock

12 Miles further. 7 ' Washington's Diary.



The tenement at Great Meadows, in what is now Wharton Township,

Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and which Washington considered " a very

good stand for a Tavern," was on a tract of land containing two hundred

and thirty-four acres, acquired by him in 1767. It included the site of

Fort Necessity, a stockade hastily constructed by Washington, when a

colonel in the Virginia service, to resist the attack of a superior body of

French and Indians under the command of M. Coulan de Villiers, and made

memorable by its surrender to that officer on July 3, 1754. The entire tract

was sold by the executors of the last will and testament of Washington to

Andrew Parks, of Baltimore. In the schedule attached to the will this

property is referred to as follows : " This land is valuable on account of its

local situation and other properties. It affords an exceeding good stand on

Braddock's Road from Fort Cumberland to Pittsburgh and besides a fertile

soil possesses a large quantity of natural meadow fit for the scythe. It is

distinguished by the appellation of the Great Meadows, where the first

action with tbe French in the year 1754 was fought." [12]



September 12, 1798: In the wake of the French capture of Mainz (1792) the gates of the ghetto were torn down. The Jews of Mainz remained French citizens until the end of the occupation in 1814. Mainz was (and is) a German city. Wherever the French armies went, they carried the message of the French Revolution, “Liberty, Fraternity, and Equality.” This was a message of liberation for the Jews of Europe many of whom were living in ghettos and in an environment of something less than second class citizenship. After the French were defeated, the conditions of the Jews in many of these countries reverted to the pre-Revolutionary state. It would take several decades before the disabilities attached to the Jewswould be removed in many of the countries of Central and Southern Europe.[13]



September 12, 1814: The British continue their combined naval and land attack on Baltimore.

Sunday, September 12, 1920: The stage appeared set. In Campbell’s address on the evening before the election, opponents were depicted as greedy, myopic, educationally backward, unpatriotic, and even immoral. As persons filed out of the Buck Creek Church after the speech, they were startled to see a large cross set ablaze on the hill next to the cemetery about 150 yards west of the church. A small group of men with white hoods and robes cheered and then piled into an automobile that sped northward on the road toward Delhi. One person in the crowd was heard to exclaim, “The fools. They’ve gone too far.” The results of the election the next day perhaps told another story. The cross burning at Buck Creek may have reminded Buck Creek Methodists who might otherwise not have been convinced of the merits of consolidation that the election was about who was to wield power in the area, Protestants or Catholics.[18]





1920: The Klan Moves Into Iowa

The Klan gained strength after the First World War, drawing from white Protestants in small towns and cities. The beginning of a serious movement came in 1920 when a paid recruiter was hired. The Klan appealed to people who believed that their beliefs were superior to the beliefs of immigrants, Catholics, Jews or “colored people.” The Klan supported what they called “clean living” and attacked “dope, bootlegging, graft, night clubs and road houses, violation of the Sabbath, unfair business dealings, sex, marital 'goings-on,' and scandalous behavior."

Although the Klan had started in the South, it began to gain strength in the Midwest. There were many followers in Iowa—in Davenport, Sioux City, Waterloo, Ottumwa and Des Moines, among bigger cities. But it had followers in smaller communities too—Centerville, Manly, Cherokee and Red Oak. Several groups opposed the Klan, including the newly formed American Legion, Masons and the Farm Bureau, as well as the NAACP.

In their ceremonial and public occasions, Klan members wore white sheets with peaked hoods. They took on fantastic titles, such as Imperial Wizard, Imperial Kleagle (chief of staff), Grand Goblin (sales manager) and Grand Dragon. They had special names for membership fees (Klectoken). A special sign of their presence in a community was a burning cross, which they would set up and light in the front yards of those they wanted to frighten.[19]

September 12, 1933: First organized attack by Nazi storm troopers against Jews took place in Berlin.[20]

September 12, 1940: Four teenage boys exploring a fox den in a French hill near Montignac on September 12, 1940, discover a cavern with walls covered in menagerie of enormous bulls, horses and deer. The more than 2,000 artworks in the cave, known as Lascaux, including one rare image of human, date to the Paleolithic period, circa 18,000 years ago. Open to the public in 1948, the cave closes in 1963 as part of an ongoing effort to protect the art from the contaminating effects of visitors and climate changes.[21]

September 12, 1941: One thousand, two hundred sixty seven Jews were taken from Vilna and sent to Polna to be shot. General Keitel informed his commanders, “The struggle against Bolshevism demands ruthless and energetic measures, above all against the Jews.” William Keitel rose to the rank of Field Marshallin the German Army. Statements such as these provide further proof of the complicity of the German military in “The War against the Jews”. Keitel was hung in 1946 after being convicted at Nuremburg. [22]

September 12, 1942: THE LARGEST SLAUGHTER OF ANY SINGLE COMMUNITY DURING THE HOLOCAUST. From July 22 through September 12, 1942: 4,000 Warsaw Jews per day would be gassed in Treblinka. Only those with special cards stamped with ‘Operation Reihnard', an eagle and the swastika were saved from deportation. Resisters or those taking flight would be shot on the spot by Ukrainians, Latvians, Lithuanians and German SS officers. Orphanages, children homes, hospitals, were all emptied. Each train was comprised of sixty cars. Each car was packed with human cargo. [23]

September 12, 1944: Jewish slave laborers work near Lieberose, Germany, to build a vacation complex for German officers.[24]



September 12, 1944: The United States First Army pushes five miles into Germany. [25]







September 12, 2006: “Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you find things only evil and inhuman such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”

Pope Benedict XVI at his old University in Regensburg.

In a message dated 8/30/2010 1:35:39 P.M. Central Daylight Time,

Hi, Jeffery,

Thank you for your email to FVJN. How interesting to hear of your family research.

In order to allow me to answer your questions about FVJN most accurately, I want to be sure that I'm understanding correctly: As I understand it, you and recent generations of your family are not Jewish, but your geneological research has found that you have a Jewish relative a number of generations back. Is this correct?

Thanks for helping me to understand.

Warm regards,

Nancy Sohn

FVJN Board=











Nancy, Yes that is correct. We are linked through DNA test to the ancestors of DNA matches who are Jewish. Most are aware they are Cohens. This unique DNA is called the Cohen Modal Haplotype. We have over 50 DNA matches of this kind. Of this group, some were not aware that they were Jewish before but found out later, this was due in some instances of their background being hidden so that they could escape Europe as children. We are not aware of why there was a conversion in our family at this point. That said we are still interested in our Jewish heritage and ancestry. Jeff Goodlove

Having a Virginia background, Hugh continued to reside in the Shenandoah Valley, after many of his friends, relatives and neighbors moved west of the Alleghenies. When and where he met his wife, the former Ann Whaley, also of Virginia, is not known, though six children came to bless this union:William, John, Marquis, Hugh, Nancy, Betsy, besides a younger son, Richard, who died at an early age.
