October 17, 1732: William Crawford, son of Valentine Crawford, an emigrant from the North of Ireland, was born October 17, 1732, in Orange county, Virginia. Young Crawford was brought up as a surveyor. His education seems to have been more or less limited, but his knowledge of men and affairs took a wide range. It was while acting in this capacity, as a surveyor, that he became acquainted with George Washington. As an ensign in the Virginia forces which accompanied Braddock, he was specially distinguished for gallantry, and subsequently promoted to a lieu-tenancy. He accompanied the Virginia troops under Forbes, and after the Bouquet expedition took up the tract of land in Pennsylvania already referred to, near New Haven.[1]

William Crawford, son of Valentine Crawford, an emigrant from the North of Ireland, was born October 17, 1732, in Orange County, Virginia. Young Crawford was brought up as a surveyor. His education seems to have been more or less limited, but his knowledge of men and affairs took a wide range. It was still acting in this capacity, as a surveyor, that he became acquainted with George Washington. As an ensign in the Virginia forces which accompanied Braddock, he was especially distinguished for gallantry, and subsequently promoted to a lieutenancy. He accompanied the Virginia troops under Forbes, and after the Bouquet expedition took up the tract of land in Pennsylvania already referred to, near New Haven…
Colonel Crawford perished at the stake on the afternoon of June 11, 1782. Washington, upon hearing of the terrible ending of his friend’s life, said: “It is with the greatest sorrow and concern that I have learned the melancholy tidings of his death. He was known to me as an officer of great prudence, brave, experienced and active.” In a letter to General Irvine he says:”I am particularly affected with the disastrous death of Colonel Crawford.”[2]
October 1747
The Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in October of 1747 ended King George
S War, and even though it did not resolve the overlapping territorial disputes on the frontier, the tensions eased somewhat. Attacks by the Indians against the traders, even the more unscrupulous ones, diminished, but the ill feelings remained. Competition remained keen between English and French traders but now with a small degree of mutual tolerance. [3]
1747
His (Valentine Crawford) second marriage was to Sarah Morgan Vance about 1747.
Valentine Crawford settled on Jacob’s Creek, which is the present boundary between Westmoreland and Fayette Counties. Not much is known about Valentine’s wife, Sarah, who is believed to be Sarah Morgan. His daughter, Elizabeth, married John Minter. His son, William, perished on the Ohio Sandusky Expedition with Col. William Crawford. He held the rating of a lieutenant in the ill fated 13th Regiment. Effie Worthington Breckenridge, is also known to be a daughter of Valentine. Valentine Crawford, Jr. seems to have disappeared from most records, at an early date.
Since Valentine was a business manager of George Washington’s lands, it may be noted that he was an overseer of the 2,000 acres, William Crawford located for Washington, at or near Perryopolis, in what is now Fayette County, in Perry Township. This kept Valentine on the move most of the time. In several passages, we find him traveling to and from Mount Vernon (Washington’s home in Virginia), and Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. No doubt he spent time at Washinton’s land office, located in Winchester, Virginia; the former neighborhood of the Crawford family.
A grist mill was constructed at Perryopolis, on Washington’s property (Fayette County), which turned out to be a failure, being situated on a dry run. Washington was able to get rid of it at a giveaway price. This was also due to the constant fear of Indian uprisings, resulting in the scarcity of labor to keep it on a paying basis. Valentine Crawford had a great deal gto do with this, following the instructions of Washington to the very letter, with unspeakable anxieties.[4]
In 1747 William Crawford marries Hannah Vance, d/o John Vance.[5]
David Vance2 (Andrew1), b. 1748 d. 1813 m. Priscilla Brank, Capt NC.[6]
1747
By 1747, about ten Jewish families lived in Lancaster, most of them originally from New York.[7]
1748
The Battailes continued to fulfill the role of one of Virginia's leading families, The Battaile silver, engraved with the .Battaile crest and shield still in. the possession of the descendants of the eldest son, John Battaile the younger. He was the owner of the famous 5,000. acre plantation, "Flintshire," where his tomb remains to this day. His daughter, Sarah, married Henry Fitzhugh of "Bedford" plantation. Captain Battaile's remaining children were Lawrence, who served as justice of Caroline County and who married Sarah____ in 1748[8]
1748
King George authorized in 1748, Thomas Lee, a member of his Majesty’s council in Virginia, to organize the Ohio Land Company , its backers comprising a dozen wealthy land owners in Maryland and Virginia, including Lawrence and Augustine Washington, elder brothers of George, as well as a prosperous merchant of London James Hanbury. The company, formed with the stated objective of settling lands and engaging in large scale trade with the Indians, was given a grant o 500,000 acres within the Dominion of Virginia but west o the mountains, all the way to the Ohio River and the Kanawha, with the stipulation that the company establish 100 families on that land within seven years.
One of the Ohio Company’s first acts was to hire a well known trader and frontiersman, Christopher Gist, to survey both the Ohio and Kanawha for them in the area included under the terms of the grant. He was to keep a journal of his journey, draw accurate maps, explore the country inland from the river for some distance to asses its value for projected settlement and farming and make a full report to the company. [9]
George arrived on October 17, 1749 at Charleston, SC aboard a ship from Saxe-Gotha in what is today north-central Germany. The name of the ship was not preserved, but the list of 33 "heads of families" of passengers was. Immigration records indicate there were three people in the "Geo. Gottlieb" family. We assume he had a wife and one ten-year-old son. (He may have had no wife and two children, or some other "family of three.") A little over a year later, in 1751, he was granted a 150-acre homestead (50 acres for each adult family member) in Amelia Township near the Congaree River among a concentration of German immigrants. However, the stay in SC was brief. Nothing more appears in public records.[10]
1749.4 CARTE D'UN VOYAGE FAIT DANS LA BELLE RIVIERE ENLA NOUVELLE FRANCE M DCC XLIX, by Father Joseph Pierre de Bonnecamps. In 1749 the French sent Celoron de Blainville down the Allegheny and Ohio Rivers as a show of force to the British. Blainville buried lead plates at major river junctures along the way as proof of French ownership. Bonnecamps accompanied the expedition and prepared this manuscript map which is now at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. It shows 'Lac' Ontario and Erie and the route down the Allegheny, the Ohio, up the Great Miami River and then down the Maumee back to Lake Erie. Bonnecamps' journal and map appear in the Jesuit Relations and the map is reproduced in Smith's Mapping of Ohio and in Hanna, which is the image shown here. [11]
1749.1 A MAP OF PENSILVANIA, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, AND THE THREE DELAWARE COUNTIES by Lewis Evans, MDCCXLIX. L. Hebert Sculp. This may be the first map of Pennsylvania published in America. Evans followed this map with his more famous one of 1755, but this is an iconic map of the middle Atlantic and much copied. The county of Lancaster was created in 1729 and is shown along with the founding counties of Philadelphia, Bucks and Chester. York County, created in 1749, is not shown although the town appears. This map originated the phrase 'Endless Mountains' which is still used as an advertising slogan. This image is from a reproduction in the Pennsylvania Archives 3rd Series, Appendix I-X, c1894-99. A 1752 version is reproduced in Schwartz & Ehrenberg and it is in Swift (2001). A 1750 German version can be seen at the Library of Congress. Gipson reproduces all of Evans' important maps along with some of his writings. Listed in Phillips, page 672, Wheat & Brun No. 295. Longitude from Philadelphia at top, west from London at bottom. Blank verso. Scale: 1" = 15 miles. Size: 25.5 x 19.5 inches.[12]
October 1758: Virginia’s colonial officials were much more aggressive in sponsoring western settlements than were Pennsylvania’s. Governor Dunmore of Virginia was offering outright grants of western land and was selling lands cheaper than PA was. Also, the Harrisons and Moores would have known that Pennsylvania, in October 1758, had achieved peace with some Ohio Country Indian’s by renouncing Pennsylvania’s claims to lands west of the Appalachian Mountains. They would have known that this agreement, the Treaty of Easton, had been made because Pennsylvania, with its Quaker and pacifist traditions, alsoays had been slow to raise and pay for local militia to protect European settlers in the western reaches of the coloney. The proprietary colonty of William Penn, with its political establishment divided between Quaker pacifists, Philadelphia merchants, and impatient, land hungry settlers, was indecisive. Pennsylvania’s political paralysis on western land issues could be worked to the advantage of Virginia, or so concluded many long established families in Virginia and Maryland, whose sons, like George Washington, were unable or unwilling to carve up and share the family’s traditional lands in the established colonies and were anxious to get onto huge tracts of frontier acreage. [13] [14]
October 17 Arrivd at Fort[15]—dining at one Widow Miers[16] at Turtle Creek.[17]
October 17th, 1770.---Dr. Craik and myself, with Capt. Crawford and others, arrived at Fort Pitt, distance from the crossing, forty-three and a half measured miles. In riding this distance we passed over a great deal of measured miles. In riding this distance we passed over a great deal of exceedingly fine land, chiefly white oak, especially from Sewickly creek to Turtle creek, but the whole broken; resembling, as I think all the lands in this country do, the Loudon lands. We lodged in what is called the town, distant about three hundred yards from the fort, at one Semplie’s, who keeps a very good house of public entertainment.
The houses which are built of logs, and ranged in streets, are on the Monongahela, and I suppose may be about twenty in number, and inhabited by Indian traders. The fort is built on the point near the rivers Allegheny and Monongahela, but not so near the pitch of it as Fort Du Quesne stood. It is five sided and regular, two of which near the land are of brick; the other stockade. A moat encompasses it. The garrison consists of two companies of Royal Irish, commanded by Capt. Edmondson
October 17, 1770; Dr. Craik, myself, Capt. Crawford and others arrived at Ft. Pitt, distant from the crossing 43 miles. In riding this distance we passed over a great deal of exceeding fine land especially from Sweisly Creek to Turtle Creek but the whole broken. The Fort (Fort Pitt) built in the point between the river Allegany and Monongahelia but not so far near the pitch of which after Ft. Duquesne[18] stood. It is 5 sided, and regular 2 of it (next the land) are of brick, the others stockade. A mote incompasses it. The garrison consists of 2 companiesw, of Royal Irish Commanded by one Capt. Edmonson. We walked through the town about 300 yards from the fort. These houses are built of logs and ranged into the streets there on the Monongahelia. I suppose there is about 20 in number, inhabited by Indian traders.[19]
October 17, 1771. Rid to the Ferry Plantn. & Mill after Breakfast. Captn. Crawford went to Doctr. Craiks after dinner. [20]
October 17, 1771: Washington did not, secure a patent for the Great Meadows tract of two hundred thirty-four acres until February 28, 1782, when he paid the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ₤33 15s. and 8d. for it. William Brooks had applied for the tract June 13, 1769, after the Penns opened their land office and Washington bought his interest in the application on October 17, 1771. [21]
October 17, 1771
Colonel Washington acquired a measure of title to the Fort Necessity plantinat Great Meadows on October 17, when he purchased the interest of William Brooks in a survey dated February 14, 1771, based on an earlier application to the land Office of Pennsylvania, June 13, 1769. He did not perfect this title until after the Revolution, when on February 28, 1782 he secured a patent for tract called “Mt Washington, situate on the east side of Laurel Hill where Braddock’s Road crosses the Great Meadows, formerly Bedford County, now in the county of Westmoreland, containing 234 ½ acres.” This patent is recorded in Fayette
Countyl Pennsylvania, in “Deed book 507,” page 458 and shows a consideration of ₤33 15s. 6d. He purchased the right fo William Athel on February 12, 1782, in an application filed by Athel on April 3, 1769, and had this title perfected by a patent from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, February 8, 1782. For a consideration of ₤48 3s. 5d., Pennsylvania granted to him called “Spring Run.” On the south side of Youghiogheny, on the waters of said river, formerly in Cumberland, now in Westmoreland County, containing three hundred thirty-one acres, one hundred forty-seven perches, and bounded bye lands of Thomas Jones John Patty, John Pearsall, and Washington’s other lands. These other lands were those which Washinton had personally applied for on April 3, 1769, when the land office was opened, and which the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania granted to him February 8, 1782, for a consideration of ₤48 7d., and described as the “Meadow,” situate on the south side of “Youghogeni” on the waters of said river, formerly in Cumberland County, now in Westmorelamnd County, bounded by John Darsall’s (Pearsall’s, William Athel’s, John Patty’s and John Bishop’s. The deeds for these two tracts are recorded in Fayette County in “Deed Book 180,” pages 294, 296, respectively.
George Washington owned the Great Meadows tract at the time of his death on December 14, 1799, and under the authority containede in his will, William A. Washington, George S. Washington, Samuel Washington, and George W. P. Custis, his executors, by Bushrod Washington and Lawrence Lewis, their attorneys, conveyed the Great Meadows to Andrew Parks of the town of Baltimore. By later conveyances this historic shrine has come under the control of the Pennsyvania Department of Forests and Waters, with the actual fort site deeded to the United States of America.[1] [1] Diaries of George Washington, University Press of Virginia, 1978

• October 1776: Hugh Stephenson was a commanding officer, a captain with a company of men, who marched from Shepherdstown on the Shenandoah River (now in West Virginia), to relieve the siege at Boston, 1775. Marching about 600 miles with plenty of action. Capt. Hugh Stephenson received wounds, which were the cause of his death, at which time he ranked as a colonel.
• Colonel Hugh Stevenson is the compilers half 6th granduncle.
• October 17, 1777
The Hessian Prisoners: The writer is well aware that some historians state with authority that no Hessian prisoners were allowed to remain in Arnerica, when the command was released by articles of peace. He, however, could name quite a nmnber who remained in the Shenandoah Valley. Several families in Winchester and Frederick County of today, have been traced to certain Hessians with odd names.
• The Governor of the State was regarded as the Commissioner General of the Convention Prisoners. We have shown elsewhere who several of his deputy cornmissioners-generals were.[1] [23]
•
• The main body of the Braunschwieg contingent of troops was captured at the battles of Saratoga (first and second Stillwater, also called Freeman’s Farm and Bemis Heights) These prisoners, forming part of the so—called Convention Army, were eventually moved from near Boston southward to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and on to Winchester (Albemarle Barracks) in Virginia. There were numerous opportunities to escape, both in New England and Virginia, and many prisoners were hired out to farmers in Pennsylvania (see the Lancaster prisoner of war lists herein). [2] [24]
•
September and October 1783
The men of the Waldeck Regiment arrived in Korbach and many were released. Others, who remained with the regiment under a new designation, the 5th Battalion, were to serve later in the Dutch army and even saw service in South Africa where they fought against the English.[25]

I get Email!
From Peggy Boucher
I just received an e-mail from our genealogy group leader that there is new information available on the Holocaust from Footnote. http://www.footnote.com/holocaust. Thought you might be interested.
From all the historical information you have gleaned, I am assuming you might be a history professor???
From Jeff
Thanks for the link, I will definitely be checking it out. No, I’m not a history professor. Just started doing this research with my mom and dad.

[15] GW had arrived at Fort Pitt.
[16] The Widow Myers’s tavern was probably at Sycamore and Sixth streets within the boundaries of present-day Pittsburgh. It frequently served as a rallying point for frontier militia and was still operating in the17??s. GW spent 3S. gd. at the tavern.
[17] Turtle Creek enters the Monongahela above the site of Fort Pitt.
[18] This was, no doubt, the first George Washington looked upon this locality, since the fall of Fort Duquesne, when he and his V8irginia Regulars, piercing through the southwestern Pennsylvania wilderness, fell upon the ruins of Fort Duquesne; after the retreating French. Here we have a picture through the eyes of George Washington, concerning the changes taking place, from the first time he saw it in the autumn of 1753 until the autumn of 1770. This was, in all probability, the third time he visitged this place. 1st, the bearer of letters from Gov. Dinwiddie to the French Commandant; 2nd, the conquering hero of Fort Duquesne; 3rd, in this year of 1770, he entered the Youghiogheny Valley again with plans, to satisfy several great demands of the future. Plans for himself as well as the American generations to follow.
