Hamas Against PA Statehood Bid: It’s a Tactic Step
Hamas condemns Abbas' confirmation of the PA's statehood bid, says it is a tactic aimed at resuming negotiations with Israel.

The Hamas terror group, which rules the Gaza Strip, was quick to condemn on Friday the speech by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in which he confirmed that he intends to turn to the United Nations and ask for recognition of a Palestinian state.
In a statement it released on Friday and which was quoted by Israel’s Channel 2 News, Hamas said Abbas’ statehood plan is “full of doubts.”
“We are against any step that will be giving up any inch of the land of Palestine or the rights of the Palestinians, including the right of return,” the organization’s statement said.
The ‘right of return’ refers to the Arab leaders demand that as part of a future peace agreement Israel allow millions of Arabs descended from those who fled during the 1948 War of Independence to “return” to the cities in which their grandparents and great-grandparents once lived.
The China-based Xinhua news agency quoted an e-mailed statement by Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum, who said that Abbas’ intention to go to the UN “is a tactic step aimed at modifying the way of getting back to the negotiation table with the Israeli occupation.”
Barhoum added, “Hamas movement will not give Abbas or the PLO any legal cover or permission to apply to the UN for full membership, because we believe that his act of heading to the UN is a preparation for resuming the negotiations with Israel.”
Barhoum ended by saying: “Hamas will never recognize Israel.”
Hamas was not the only one to criticize Abbas’ speech: Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu also attacked Abbas’ remarks and called him back to the negotiating table immediately.
“Peace cannot be achieved by going to the UN unilaterally and not by joining the terrorist organization Hamas,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “Peace will only be achieved through direct negotiations with Israel.”
Netanyahu said that “The Palestinian Authority and its leader consistently avoid direct talks with Israel. When the PA abandons its futile moves such as unilaterally going to the UN, it will find in Israel a partner for direct negotiations for peace.”
Earlier, Abbas made a speech in Ramallah in which he said, “We are going to the United Nations to request our legitimate right, obtaining full membership for Palestine in this organization.”
Abbas urged PA Arabs to refrain from violence, saying “anything other than peaceful moves will harm us and sabotage our endeavors.”

9/11, Bush, and the Ongoing threat of Radical Islam
When we think about 9/11, we honor those who risked their lives, we watch the 9/11 video footage of the World Trade Center collapse, and we remember President Bush's public address. On 9/11, Bush said that through the Pentagon and World Trade Center attack, the 9/11 terrorists, "can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America."
Ten years after the 9/11 World Trade Center attack, the threat of Radical Islam is as great as ever. It is crucial to stay informed about this threat so that the words said on 9/11 by Bush hold true – "they cannot touch the foundation of America."
The critically-acclaimed video The Third Jihad is available to watch free online this September 11th – watch now to learn about the threat of Radical Islam in America.
By watching The Third Jihad video this 9/11, you will be paying tribute to those killed in the September 11th attacks. We must remember what happened on 9/11, and honor the heroes of Flight 93 and the victims of the 9/11 Pentagon and World Trade Center attack.
On 9/11, Bush said that the Radical Islamic 9/11 terrorists "have failed. Our country is strong." Watch The Third Jihad video this 9/11 to understand the forces which combat the American strength in the years following the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks. Share the 9/11 video -stream with others and educate them about the threat we face.
This September 11th, pay tribute to the memories of the 9/11 victims, educate yourself, and awaken others. Our country must remain strong.
This Day…
September 17, 1394 Jews expelled from France and French Domains, by King Charles VI.[2][2] He used the pretense that a Jewish convert in Paris, Denis Machuit, returned to Judaism, to once again expel the Jews. The order was signed on Yom Kippur and was used as an excuse for plundering the Jewish. It was actually enforced on November 3. Jews continued to live in Lyons and papal possessions such as Pugnon. [3] [3]
Some converts publicly preached Christianity while secretly continuing Jewish customs. Some Spaniards and Jews who were disgusted with the religious turncoats called them marranos. A derision probably derived from the Spanish word for swine.[4]
1394 Jews expelled from Germany.[5]
September 17, 1480: Two Domican friars, Miguel de Morillo, Master of Theology, and Juan de San Martin, Bachelor of Theology were commissioned to go to Seville and seek out heresy of the Jews. [6]
September 17, 1485: The perpetrators of the murder of Pedro Arbues, the inquisitor of Aragon were caught, had their hands cut off, and were then beheaded and quartered. Arbues was canonized.[7]
September 1728
The land granted in September, 1728, to Andrew Harrison, in St. 4George ‘s Parish, Spotsylvania County, fe1l, by subdivision in 1730, into ~St. Mark’s Parish. In 1734, this cart of Spottsylvania County became, 1y legislative enactment, Orange County, and in ‘1740, by another division, St. Thomas’ Parish was created in Orange County.~ Thus, we find that’ Andrew Harrison. Jr., finally became a resident of ‘Orange County, in the Parish of St Thomas. [8]
September 1734: William Smith8 [Lawrence Smith7, Christopher Smith6, Thomas Smythe5, Thomas Smythe4, John Smythe3, Richard2, William1] (b. in Old Rappahannock Co. VA / d. September 1734 in VA) married Elizabeth Ballard.

On November 25, 1741, Andrew Harrison, (6th greatgrandfather) Thomas Chew and Martha, his wife, conveyed to Battaile Harrison, for fifteen pounds sterling, 200 acres of land in St. Mark’s Parish, Orange County, being part of a patent for 1000 acres granted to Martha Chew in September 1728, and by said Thomas Chew sold to said Andrew Harrison, as by deeds May 17 and 18, 1736.[10]
To ROBERT DINWIDDIE
Fort Loudoun, September 17, 1757.
Sir: Your favor of the 2d instant came safe to hand, arid Jenkins’s sickness has prevented my answering it sooner.
I apprehend that thirteen of the twenty-nine draughts from Lunenburg have deserted, as sixteen only have arrived here, and I have no accounts of any more being upon the march. Your Honor may observe by the enclosed list of deserters, all of whom have left the regiment since the last return I sent, and after having received too their clothes, arms, and bounty money, how prevalent still is that infamous practice among the dastardly draughts, especially at this garrison, where I indulge them in every thing but idleness, and in that I cannot, the nature of the work requiring the contrary. Lenity, so far from producing its desired effects, rather emboldens them in these villainous undertakings. One of those who were condemned to be hanged, deserted immediately upon receiving his pardon. In short, they tire my patience, and almost weary me to death. The expense of pursuing them is very considerable, and to suffer them to escape, without aiming at pursuit, is but giving up the point, aitho’ we have had but little success of late.
The uncertain and difficult communication with the outposts must apologize for my not sending you a return of our strength for August. For the second month will always be far advanced, before I can get in the returns of the preceding, as the latter must be first expired, before the returns can be made out, and then some of them are to come two hundred and fifty miles, and great part of that distance thro’ an uninhabited country.
If special messengers are always sent with these returns, it will be a pretty considerable expense. I should therefore be glad if your Honor would be pleased to direct, whether they are to be sent me by express, or to embrace the best conveyance without. In the one case, as I before said, there must be a constant expense, and in the other, great uncertainty. By the enclosed for July, your Honor will see that our total strength amounted to six hundred and ninety-nine; but, as there happened many changes and casualties in that month, by reason of the draughts joining, deserting, and the companies not being properly formed, this return will, I apprehend, appear confused and irregular. Our present strength, I guess, is about seven hundred. Major Lewis did, as he wrote your Honor, march from this place with about one hundred and forty men only; but then Captain Woodward, who also marched at the same time, with his company from the South Branch, joined him at Dickinson’s; which with the men under Captain Hogg, formed a body of something more than two hundred and fifty men, agreeably to the number appointed at Philadelphia for the forts at Dickinson’s and Vauses.
I am sorry I did not know it was necessary to give the name of each officer of the command, but shall do it now, and set them down as they are placed in companies: Major Lewis, Lt. Bullet, Lt. Fleming, Ensn. Speake, Capt. Woodward, Lt. Dangerfield, Lt. Mimer, Ensn. Sumner, Capt. Spotswood, Lt. Lomax, Lt. Crawford, Ensn. Starke.
The above are the officers belonging to three companies that Went to Augusta. But your Honor knows Capt. Spotswood was absent; Mr. Milner was also absent, and has been so at his father’s these 8 months, in a consumption, as I am told. And I have given a Sergeant a commission and appointed him to Woodward’s company, in lieu of Ensign Sumner, who is now to Join Capt. McKenzie’s company.
As soon as I was informed that Col. Reid was to supply the troops in Augusta with provisions, I acquainted Major Lewis therewith.
As there is no addition made to the draughts, no more recruited, and our numbers daily diminishing by desertion, cannot see how you can expect that I should complete the com. panics that are now under 90 to roo rank and file each, as you mention in your letter.
I never expected, nor ever desired, that there should be an addition made to the number of those persons appointed to transact public business, much less that there should be ofl~ to settle every little affair. I only humbly proposed, that, as Captain Gist was empowered with your Honor’s approbation to manage the Indian affairs here, and as he is to be paid for that duty by this colony, that he, as a more proper person than myself, should take in and adjust the accounts against the Indians (so often mentioned), as it cannot reasonably be supposed that I, who am stripped of the help I once was allowed (and told that I should be freed from these things in consequence), can turn my hands and my thoughts to such a multiplicity of business, as naturally arises out of the variety of occurrences, which are occasioned by our scattered and detached situation and the many extraneous concerns of the Indians. Every person, who sees how I am employed,will readily testify, that very little recreation falls to my lot. Nevertheless, if it is your Honor’s orders, that I shall collect these accompts, I will do it in the best manner I am able, and that with cheerfulness; but it will be some time ere it can be accomplished, as I have turned them off once.
The Indian chiefs, before they departed for their nation, warmly solicited me for some drums; and, as I had none but those belonging to the regiment, which could not be spared, I was obliged to promise them, that I would acquaint your Honor with their request, that you might, if you thought proper, provide them against their return.
Since my last, the enemy returned to the Branch, where they killed four men, wounded one, captivated a man and woman, and burned some grain, notwithstanding the utmost efforts of he troops, who are constantly scouting. The people in that quarter are terribly aff righted by this last eruption, and I fear can hardly be prevented from evacuating that valuable settlement. Enclosed is a return of the Deputy Commissary’s return and report of the state of the provisions at Fort Cumberland and my letter to Doctr. Ross[11] on that subject, an answer to which I ~ourly expect. I have heard from second-hand, that they in:end to make no allowance for the fish we left there, saying they were the King’s fish, as they really were, and therefore as nuch theirs as ours. I should be glad to know your Honor’s sentiments on this matter. I apprehended they would claim the fish as a right, and therefore when I left Ft. Cumberland, to attend the Committee in the Spring according to order, directed Col. Stephen to have them removed, which he neglected to do.
I have received from Mr. Boyd, notwithstanding his first declaration to me, ,~oo. Which, with what remains of the 2ooo, shall be applied and accounted for as you direct.
I was obliged to detain £250 out of the first sum which came up for the companies, but can now refund it.
When your Honor is pleased to order the vacancy, which Captain Spotswood occasions to be filled up in the name of Captain McNeill, there will be room for a lieutenant; and then
you please to bestow it on Mr. Fairfax,[12] I should take it definitely kind, if you would oblige me so far as to send the commission immediately from yourself to that gentleman For altho I esteem him greatly on account of his father, for whose memory and friendship I shall ever retain a most grateful sense, yet, making him lieutenant over many old ensigns, will occasion great confusion in the corps, and bring censure on me; for the officers will readily conceive, that my friendship and partiality to the family were the causes of it. If Mr. Fairfax would accept of an ensigncy, the matter might pretty easily be accommodated. The better under cover to Colonel Fairfax is not come to hand.
I have heard nothing yet from Colonel Stanwix; but Soon shall, as I wrote to him a few days ago, and expect his answer. Robert Holmes is among the deserters.
I send your Honor a size-roll of my own, Captains Stewart and Lewis’ companies. The others were sent to me, but being signed by the commanding officer only, as is usual, I was obliged to send back for the subalterns to sign also. When these come in I shall forward them.
As we have not at this time either commissary or assistant here, it is not in my power to send a return of the provisions with any tolerable exactness. But I do not doubt, that Mr. Ruththerfordd, our acting commissary, who is now down, has satisfied your Honor fully in this particular; if he has not, I will take care to do it in my next.
The monthly return for July, mentioned in the body of this letter as sent, upon re-examination I find so unintelligible, by reason of some mistakes in Captns. Spotswood’s and Woodward’s return, that I am ashamed to sign it, ‘till the mistakes are rectified, and for this end, I have ordered those companies in a peremptory manner to be careful for the future, or answer the contrary.
Your Honor in estimating our numbers at about 7oo, will ac near the complement; but if I may presume to advise, the contractors should provide for companies of 100 each, as it is supposed we shall complete to that number as fast as possible. I doubt not your Honor will see the necessity of making an agreement with the contractors, for furnishing the Indians with provisions; otherwise they will take no concern in this matter, as I conceive they are allowed so much for each soldier, :hat shall be returned, in which case Indians are included. If they were not, no person would supply them on the same terms they do soldiers, for Indians eat and waste triple what the latter Jo. I am, &c.[13]

Sir—The same day John Henry was wounded on Clinch there was one Samuel Lemmey taken Prisoner on the North fork of Holstein, about a Mile from the upper End of Campbells Choice (now called the Clay-Lick) and John & Archibald Buchanans Familys narrowly escaped.
Tuesday 13th three Indians attacked one of Capt. Smiths Soldiers about half-mile from the Maiden Spring Station he is tho’t to have killed one them; and escaped himself without being hurt: a party of our people happened to be within 300 yards when the Guns fired; they soon were at the place of action, and give the remaining two Indians a god Chase the wounded fellow, found means to get into a large Cave or Pit within 70 or 80 yards of the place he was shot; in which it is supposed he is Dead, as he fell when he was shot, and Bled a good deal; I have one [of] the plugs now in my House that burst out of his wound a few steps from the Tree he stood behind when he received the Shot. The Pit is to be search’d by means of letting a Man down in it by ropes with lights as our Men is anxious to get his Scalp.
The same Evening of ye. 13th. Capt. Smiths Scouts discoved the tracts of a party of the Enemy going off with Horses and it is supposed the prisoners. He immediately set out with a party of 21 Men, in pursuit of them, which I am perswaded he will follow a considerable way, or else overtake them. I have made strict enquiry into the Conduct of the Spys and find, it was not their fault, the letting the Enemy in undiscobered. The different passes they were ordered to watch, lay at such a distance, that it took several days…
…Capt. Floyd was to have some Plots made out before he went away, for Col. Byrd, Capt. Harrison and myself I hope he has not forgot to inform you about them.
I am Sir With great Respect your Obedient Servant

September 1776:In September 1776, Solomon was arrested as a spy but the British Pardoned him, only after serving 18 months of his sentence and claims of torture on a British boat, in order to use his abilities, as an interpreter in order to use his abilities as an interpreter for their Hessian mercenaries. Solomon used his position to help prisoners of the British escape and encouraged the Hessians to desert the war effort.[15] My ancestry is Jewish and my ancestor was a mercenary Hessian Soldiers who deserted the British Army and took an Oath of Allegiance to the State of Pennsylvania.

September 1777 Battle of Brandywine, when Ferguson’s riflemen were unwisely employed and suffered more than 50 percent casualties, among them Ferguson, whose right arm was badly wounded. That encounter, however, almost turned the course of history. As Ferguson later wrote, at one point a mounted enemy officer rode past, well within range. “I could have lodged a half-doszen balls in or about him before he was out of my reach,” the British officer recalled, “but I was not pleasant to fire at the back of an unoffending individual who was acquitting himself very coolly of his duty; so I let him alone.” That officer was General Washington.[17]

September 1782
In September, 1782, occurred the last siege of Fort Henry, regarded by some as the last battle of the Revolution. A force of forty irregular British soldiers and 238 Indians, under Captain Bradt, made the attack. Between the former siege and this one the homes of the settlers had been rebuilt, including that of Ebenezer Zane. His dwelling contained a store of surplus ammunition and arms and it had been decided to occupy it in case of another attack. Being notified of the approach of the enemy by John Lynn, a scout, preparations were speedily made for the expected attack. Those who demained within the Zane house were Andrew Scott, George Green, Elizabeth Zane (Colonel Zane's wife), Molly Scott, Miss McCulloch, a sister of Major Samuel McCulloch, a negro slave and his wife, "Daddy Sam" and Kate. From all other homes the occupants had entered the fort. Although Colonel David Shepherd was superior officer in the county it appears that Colonel Silas Zane was again in command.
The Indians approached carrying the British flag and asked for surrender, which was refused. During the night of attack the garrison of Fort Henry was re-enforced by the arrival of a few men who had come down in a boat from Pittsburgh. They carried some cannon balls, some of which were taken and used in the real cannon which had been substituted for the wooden one, the rest being appropriated by the attackers.
The first efforts of the enemy were toward destruction of the fort by battering it in every way possible. The first day was spent in futile attempts in this direction. The Indians placed their chief reliance upon burning and during the night made many attempts to burn both the fort and Colonel Zane's house. The negro slave detected the approach of an Indian and killed him as he was about to set fire to the residence. The cannon was brought into play, firing sixteen times during the attack. Being impressed by the effectiveness of the cannon, the Indians and soldiers made one of their own out of a hollow tree which they wrapped with chains found in a blacksmith shop and loaded with the balls taken from the Pittsburgh boat. When they fired it the explosion did no damage to the fort but killed and injured several persons who stood about.
It was during the second siege that the ammunition ran low in the fort and a volunteer, Elizabeth Zane, sister of Ebenezer Zane, ran to the cabin and returned under fire with a supply of powder, thus doing her part toward defense, and furnishing the background for a much-repeated story of pioneer days.
At the end of three days the Indians were thoroughly discouraged and, soon after, when Captain Boggs arrived with seventy men, they gave up and turned their attention to Rice's Fort, in the vicinity, where they lost heavily again.
Thus Fort Henry not only saved a large proportion of the inhabitants of the young colony at Wheeling, but played an important, though minor, role in the closing days of the American Revolution. The Second Siege was the last formidable raid of Indians into West Virginia.
Reconstruction Proposed
Such interest attaches to Fort Henry that patriotic and historically-minded citizens have proposed its reconstruction. The space which it occupied is now built up with houses and crossed by city streets. It would be necessary, therefore, to erect the stockade at some not distant point. It would be desirable to make of the reconstructed fort a local historical museum, exhibiting chiefly such things as belonged to that particular period. In this way it would
again serve the community and the state. [27]

‘Gilbert Simpson’s plantation or farm covered about 6oo of the 1,644 acres GW owned at Washington’s Bottom. Included on it were 152 acres of fenced meadow, “a good Dwelling House, Kitchen. Barn, Stable, and other necessary Buildings. ito bearing Apple Trees &c.” (GW’s advertise-ment, in Va. Journal, i~ July 1784). The gristmill stood about a mile from the farm on the bank of Washington’s Run, a small stream that flowed into the Voughiogheny River about three-fourths of a mile below the mill.
GW had spared little expense in making this large stone gristmill as line as possible. Its construction, which had taken nearly two years, cost him bc~ tween £1,000 and ~i,soo (GW’s land memorandum. a~ May 1794, DLC:
GW), and after William Crawford saw it “go for the first time” in spring
1776, he assured GW that “I think it the best Mill I ever saw any where, tim’ I think one of a less value would have done as well” ( September 20, 1776, DLC:GW). Equipped with two pairs of millstones made of local rock, which the alcoholic but skilled millwright Dennis Stephens deemed “equal to English burr,” the mill was supposed to grind “incredibly last” when work. ing (&W’s advertisement, in Va, Journal, July 15, 1784) (July 15). The shambles that GW found today in his first view of the mill should not have surprised him knowing what he did of his partner and manager Gilbert Simpson. “I never hear of the Mill under the direction of Simpson,” he wrote Lund Washington so August 1775, “without a degree of warmth & vexation at his extreame stupidity” (NN),[28]

September 1786: In response to the call for a convention by the Virginia legislature, only 12 men appeared at Annapolis. After several days of waiting it was clear that there were not enough representatiuves of the states to make it practifcal to discuss the existing prob lems. It was decided that there be an other call for a convention with the invitation to be sent ob y the Congress rather than one state. But there was no assurance that the Congress would do theis. Hamilton wrote an “address” about the matter and a copy was sent to each of thates and to the Congress.[30]
September 17, 1787: The Constitution fo the United States were adopted in the Declaration Chamber of Constitution Hall in Philadelpia.[31] Was it a coincidence that the founding fathers waited for the signing until Venus was in an astrologically opportune time? Venus and Mercury were rising in Virgo at the time.[32]

In transmitting to the President of Congress the full text of the proposed Constitution, Washington wrote, "In all our deliberations on this subject we kept steadily in our view, that which appears to us the greatest interest of every true American, the consolidation of our Union, in which is involved our prosperity, felicity, safety, perhaps our national existence. This important consideration, seriously and deeply impressed on our minds, led each state in the Convention to be less rigid on points of inferior magnitude than might have been otherwise expected ; and thus the Constitution, which we now present, is the result of a spirit of amity, and of that mutual deference
and concession which the peculiarity of our political situation rendered indispensible." [34]
"When it appeared that the consent of eleven States was recorded in favor of the Constitution, Franklin, looking toward a sun which was blazoned on the President's chair, said of it to those near him, " In the vicissitudes of hope and fear I was not able to tell whether it was rising or setting ; now I know that it is the rising sun."

Those from the vicinity of Central City who are in Cedar Rapids this week taking advantage of the farmers shortcourse are E. L. Goodlove, R. A. Bowdish, W. R. Goodlove, L. J. ? and C. R. Mills.[38]
September 17, 1908: Jessie Pearl Goodlove(July 15, 1882-August 24, 1967) married Richard Allen "Dick" Bowdish, September 17, 1908, at the home of the bride’s parents. Richard died in 1967. They had a daughter, Mary Catherine, born October 13, 1915, and a son Albert, born May 1, 1918. Dick and Jessie lived on the home farm of her parents, which they bought in 1913, until their retirement to Colorado. They wanted to be near the home of their daughter and husband, Merrill Jordan (Bk. I, F-32). Albert married Pearl Engstrom and both were missionaries in India until retirement. They now live in Oklahoma (Bk. II, F-18).
It is interesting to note here that William’s son, Willis, married the granddaughter of Levi Brown Andrews who had also served in the Civil War. (Bk. IL, F-3). Also to note that George B. Aikin (Bk. II, F-I) had also served in the Civil War and to wonder if the paths of these three men had ever crossed or had they ever met during their enlistments. George B. Aikin and William FL. Goodlove were great grandfathers, respectively, of Winton Goodlove, and Levi B. Andrews was his great, great, grandfather.[39]

“Bowdish-Goodlove
Special correspondence: At the home of Mr. W. H. Goodlove of Maine township, Thursday evening, the marriage of their daughter, Jessie Goodlove to Richard A. Bowdish, of Waubeek took place. The ceremony was performed by Rev. James Ballz of Marion, in the presence of twenty-five guests, at eight o’clock. After congratulations a three-course supper was served.
-The groom is a young man of fine personal qualities, a prosperous farmer and is to be congratulated for his wise choice of the one who became his bride. The bride is a young woman of such graces of character as to place her high in the esteem of all who are numbered among her friends and acquaintances. Through her work as teacher in the county she is widely known and holds a prominent place in the educational forces of the state. Her work for the past three years being in the Cedar Rapids schools. Her natural mental endowments, and the years devoted to acquiring an education eminently fit her for the responsible positions she has held. The happy couple have the hearty congratulations of the entire community and a host of friends and acquaintances wish them the highest success in the journey they have so auspiciously begun. Mr. Bowdish has rented Mr. Goodlove’s farm and will occupy the cottage across the road from the bride’s parents.”
[Note: Jessie & Dick were marred 17 September 1908. LP][40]
On September 17, 1924, the first issue of the “South Iowa American” was published. It announced its slogan to be “An Independent Progressive Newspaper with a Policy.” Its aim and purpose would be to carry on a program of unadulterated Americanism. It would stand unwaveringly behind any and all public officials in the enforcement of law.[41]
September 17, 1939: The Soviet Union invaded Poland during WW II. This invasion was part of the terms of the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact that made it possible for the Germans to invade Poland. The Nazis traded half of Poland to ensure that the Germans would have a free hand in fighting the British and the French without having to worry about fighting the Soviets at the same time.[42]
September 17, 1941: The Nazis took several thousand Jews taken from their homes in Kovno (Lithuania) and locked them in synagogues for three days. They then brought them to prepared ditches and shot them all..[43]
September 17, 1941: A general deportation of German Jews remaining in the Fatherland. For those interested in the topic you might want to read The Last Jews in Berlin by Leonard Gross, which depicts the life of 18 Jews living in the capital of Nazi Germany.[44]
September 17, 1943: Commandant Kappler, the SS attache at the German embassy in Rome summoned Ugo Foa, President of the Rome-Jewish Community to his office and informed him that the jews of Rome might avoid deportation if they could give him fifty kilograms of gold within the next thirty-six hours.[45]
September 17, 1944: As the Red Army approached, the Germans started the evacuation of the Bor labor camp. The first Hungarian death march began. Five thousand people would set off, only 9 would survive.[46]
September 17, 2008: So, Gottlieb existed as a name with a different meaning than Theophilos. However, its meaning was reinterpreted and it as paired up as a German translation of Theophilos and Amadeus.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, followers of the German Pietist movement believed that people should have a close personal relationship with God. Some gave they children names like Gotthelf "God, help!" or Gottlob "Praise God" or Furchtegott "Fear God." Furchtegott is a translation of the Greek name Timothy which also means "fear of God". It would have been around this time that the older name "Gottleib" began to be reinterpreted to mean "love of God" rather than "heir of God." As a name meaning "God Love" it was equivalent to the Latin "Amadeus" which means "love God." Christians focusing on biblical Greek will often cite three Greek words for love: Eros (romantic love), Philia (love between friends) and Agape (spiritual love). Agape is rarely used in names or words, but Philia often is, e.g. Philadelphia (the city of brotherly love), Anglophile (someone with a love of English things), Philosophy (love of knowledge) and the name "Theophilos" (someone haveing a friendly love for God). So, yes, it means "friend of God" but the word it uses is a particular type of love.[47]
That being said, I've seen Gutfreund and Gotfreund interchanged. So, it's certainly possible that our families sometime in the 18th century took the name "friend of God" because of a religious vocation (remember the Cohen link), and in my case, the name changed over a few years to Gutfreund. But, I have not real evidence for this.[48]

Rochelle, recently I had in inquiry about the progress of the translation of the Gottlober works. I appreciate the effort that you have already put forth in this project and was wondering if you were interested in doing some more translating? Also, I was wondering if there was a way that we could compensate you for your time and effort in the project. Perhaps we could agree on a fee structure that would work for you. Abraham Baer Gottlober is an important Russian Jewish writer that lived in a period that is largely forgotten and I would like to bring that time back to life for the family and others who would like to learn about his writing. As a DNA link, a Cohen, a Jew, and writer, Abraham Baer Gottlober has a great deal to tell ancestors, and others. With your help perhaps we could pass his writings along to others to learn and enjoy, now and in the future. I hope to hear from you soon. Jeff Goodlove

[23] Brigadier General John Glover was born at Salem, Mass., on November 5, 1732. There is no record of where John Glover was “made a Mason,” but documents in the archives of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts name him and his brothers Samuel and Johnhathan in “A List of Brothers before the Opening of the Lodge in Barblehead and belonging to the Same Town.” That ladge, constituted March 25, 1760, received its charter on January 14, 1778, and its present name, Philanthropic Lodge, on June 12, 1797 under Grand Master Paul Revere. In January 1775, the Marblehead Regiment of Minutemen elected Glover 2nd Lt. Colonel, its third ranking officer, and its weekly drills sharply increased. With the unexpected death of its Commander in April, Glover assumed command of the regiment. The Marblehead men were fishing on the Grand Banks when “the shot heard round the world” was fired at Lexington and Concord. On their return Col. Glover’s recruiting efforts soon raised a regiment of 505 officers and men,, all but seven being “Headers.” The Northern Light, November 1982, Vol. 13, “George Washington’s Amphibious Commander”, Vol. 13, No. 5, page 14.
