• October 29, 69 A.D.: At the Second Battle of Bedriacum, forces under Antonius Primus, the commander of the Danube armies, loyal to Vespasian, defeat the forces of Emperor Vitellius. This victory help paved the way for Vespasian to become Emperor of the Roman Empire. According to Jewish mythology, it was Yoachanah Ben Zachai’s prediction that Vespasian would attain this goal, that led to him being able to establish the academy at Yavneh. Vespasian turned matters around Jerusalem to his son Titus who would destroy the Temple within the year.[1]
• Second Temple Period: Josephus speaks of about twenty thousand priests who held various positions in the Temple at the end of the Second Temple period, when the total number of Jews throughout Judaea may have reached one and a half to two million. [2]
• October 24, 1492: The Jews were again accused of stabbing a consecrated wafer in Mechlenburg, Germany. Twenty-seven were burned including two women, and all the Jews are expelled from the duchy. The spot where they were killed is still called the Judenberg.[3]

• October 24, 1648: The Peace of Westphalia ended The Thirty Years War. While the Jews of Europe were not combatants or participants in the peace talk, this treaty did have far reaching impact on them. The treaty brought an end to the Holy Roman Empire which meant that the various states of Germany were able to choose their own religion and develop on their own. The independence of the Netherlands was recognized. The tolerant Dutch nation had already proven itself as a hospitable place for Jews and six years after the treaty European Jews would find haven in the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam. According to some historians, the treaty marked the end of the religious wars that had gripped Europe much to the detriment of the Jews) and marked the rise of the modern nation-state system. While anti-Semitism would continue to be part of the European landscape, the Jews of Europe would fare better after 1648 under a system of national citizenship.[5]
•
• Tens of thousands of Jews had been displaced and many had become wanderers, roaming from town to town, barred from permanent settlement. [6]
• 1649 Jews expelled from Ukraine.[1][7] In the mid 17th century, the Cossacks of the Ukraine and the local Polish peasantry revolted against the feudal conditions imposed by the Polish overlords. Unfortunately, Jews bore the brunt of their murderous fury. Hundreds of thousands were massacred. Church persecution and local enmity were a constant threat. Many Jews moved west, renewing former settlements in Germany and France.[2] [8]

• 1654: Jews expelled from Little Russia.[1] [9]
1676
Frustrated Freemen
and Bacon’s Rebellion
An accumulating mass of footloose, impoverished freemen was drifting discontentedly about the Chesapeake region by the late seventeenth century. Mostly single young men, they were frustrated by their broken hopes of acquiring land, as well as by their gnawing failure to find single women to marry.
The swelling numbers of these wretched bachelors rattled the established planters. The Virginia assembly in 1670 disfranchised most of the landless knockabouts, accusing them of “having little interest in the country” and causing “tumults at the election to the disturbance of his majesty’s peace.” Virginia’s Governor William Berkeley lamented his lot as ruler of this rabble: “How miserable that man is that governs a people where six parts of seven at least are poor, endebted, discontented, and armed.”
Berkeley’s misery soon increased. About a thousand Virginians broke out of control in 1676, led by a twenty-nine-year-old planter, Nathaniel Bacon. Many of the rebels were frontiersmen who had been forced into the untamed backcountry in search of arable land. They fiercely resented Berkeley’s friendly policies toward the Indians, whose thriving fur trade the governor monopolized. When Berkeley refused to retaliate for a series of savage Indian attacks on frontier settlements, Bacon and his followers took matters into their ‘own hands. They fell murderously upon the Indians, friendly and hostile alike, chased Berkeley from Jamestown, and put the torch to the capital. Chaos swept the raw colony, as frustrated freemen and resentful servants— described as “a rabble of the basest sort of people”— went on a rampage of plundering and pilfering.
As this civil war in Virginia ground on, Bacon suddenly died of disease, like so many of his fellow colonials. Berkeley thereupon crushed the uprising with brutal cruelty hanging more than twenty rebels. Back in England Charles II complained, “That old fool has put to death more people in that naked country than I did here for the murder of my father.”
The distant English king could scarcely imagine the depths of passion and fear that Bacon’s Rebellion excited in Virginia. Bacon had ignited the smoldering unhappiness of landless former servants, and he had pitted the hard-scrabble backcountry frontiersmen against the haughty gentry of the tidewater plantations. The rebellion was now suppressed, but these tensions remained. Lordly planters, surrounded by a still-seething sea of malcontents, anxiously looked about for less troublesome laborers to toil in the restless tobacco kingdom. Their eyes soon lit on Africa.
.Nathaniel Bacon assailed Virginias Governor William, Berkeley in 1676
“for having protected. favored, and
emboldened the Indians against His
Majesty’s loyal subjects, never contriving. requiring, or appointing any due or proper means of satisfaction for their many
invasions, robberies, and murders
committed upon us.”
For his part, Governor Berkeley declared:
I have lived thirty-four years amongst you [Virginians]. as uncorrupt and diligent as
ever [a] Governor was. [while] Bacon is a man of two years amongst you. his person and qualities unknown to most of you. and to all men else, by any virtuous act that ever I heard of. . . . I will take counsel of wiser men than myself. but Mr. Bacon has none about him but the lowest of the people.”[10]
1678 and 1688
Donald, the chief’s second son, at that time an infant, after the Restoration and between the years of 1678 and 1688, emigrated to Antigua, where, by a common corruption, he was called Daniel, and having perhaps received grants of lands from Charles II, amongst which were the estates of Dropes, Golden Grove, Dickenson’s Bay, and MacKinnon’s, all in the neighborhood of St. John’s, the capital of the island, he married Alice, daughter of William Thomas, Lieutenant-Governor of Antigua, whose nephew, Sir George Thomas, created a baronet, was Governor of the Leeward Islands. Historical accounts of the island describe Donald as Dr. Daniel MacKinnon and founder of the MacKinnon family in Antigua.[11]

(Ancestor’s William Crawford and William Harrison are with George Washington on this expedition.)
October 24, 1770 George Washington’s Journal: We reachd the Mouth of a Creek calld Fox Grape vine Creek (10 Miles up which is a Town of Delawares calld Franks Town) abt. 3 Ocbock in the afternoon—distant from our last Camp abt. 26 Miles. Fox Grape Vine Creek, also called Captina Creek, flows into the Ohio from the west. Frank’s Town was a well-known Delaware village about six miles from the Juniata River. Originally called Assunepachba, it was referred to as Frank’s Town, for the Pennsylvania trader Frank Stevens, as early as 1734.
October 24, 1770:George Washington’s Journal —We left our encampment before sunrise, and about six miles below it, we came to the mouth of a small creek, coming in from the eastward, called by the Indians Split-Island creek, from its running in against an Island. On this creek there is the appearance of good land. Six miles below this again, we came to another creek on the west side, called by Nicholson, Wheeling ; and about a mile lower down appears to be another small water coming in on the east side, which I remark, because of the scarcity of them, and to show how badly furnished this country is with mill-seats. Two or three miles below this is another run on the west side, up which is a near way by land to Mingo town; and about four miles lower, comes in another on the east, at which place is a path leading to the settlement at Redstone. About a mile and a half below this comes in Pipe creek, so called by the Indians from a stone whichì is found here, out of which they make pipes. Opposite to this, that is, on the east side, is a bottom of exceedingly rich land but as it seems to be low, I am apprehensive that it is subject to be overflowed. ‘This bottom ends where the effects of a hurricane appear, by the destruction and havoc among tine trees. Two or three miles below the Pipe creek, is a pretty large creek on tIne west side, called by Nicholson, Fox-Grape-Vine, by others Captina creek, on which, eight miles up, is the town called Grape-Vine Town ; and at the mouth of it is the place where it was said the trader was killed. ‘To this place we came about three o’clock in the afternoon, and finding no body there, we agreed to encamp, that Nicholson and one of the Indians might go up to town, and inquire into the truth of the report concerning the murder.
October 24, 1771 George Washington’s Journal: Reachd Todds Bridge to Breakfast & Col. Bassets in the Evening. Captn. Crawford came there to Dinner.
October 24, 1791: Leading primarily untrained militiamen, St. Clair faced problems with desertion from the beginning of his campaign. Although it was still early fall, his men faced some cold temperatures and quite a bit of rain and snowfall. St. Clair also had a difficult time keeping his soldiers supplied with food. His men became demoralized. Despite this problem, St. Clair advanced against the Miami Indians on October 24. William Vance would fall at St. Clair’s Defeat.[13]
• October 24, 1795: Third partition of Poland, between Austria, Prussia and Russia. This is an example of the law of unintended consequences. Russia, which had been trying to drive Jews out, now found itself with millions of Jewish Poles as Russian citizens. For the next hundred years the various Czars devised plans to control or destroy the Jewish community in Russia The most famous example was the one-third, one-third, one-third program. The third of the Jews would convert, one third would immigrate and one third would die. Thus Russia would be rid of its Jews.[14]
• A few years ago, I bought a book called "A Dictionary of Jewish Surnames from the Kingdom of Poland." For the name "Gutfrajnd" it says:
• Gutfrajnd: (Janow, Kielce, common in Kalisz; Czestochowa, Blonie, Lodz, Warsaw) A: gutfraynd (Yiddish), Gutfreund (German) good friend (Gutfrajnd, Gutfrajt, Gutfred, Gutfrejd, Gutfrejt, Gotfrajnd, Gotfrajnd)
• All that the above means is that the name was common in the towns mentioned and it provides some name variants -- including Gotfrajnd.
• The book also includes the following about the name "Gotlib"
• Gotlib: (common in Radom gub., Kielce Gub. and Piotrkow gub) M: from the given name Gotlib (Gottlieb in German) (Godlib, Gotleb, Gotlibow, Gotlibowicz, Botlibowski, Gotlibski). [15]

• October 24, 1870: In Algiers under the leadersship of Cremieux, France granted French citizenship to all Algerian Jews. Prior to this date, citizenship was conferred on individual Jews based on their application. Algeria had been taken over by the French and this move was part of the French program of colonization.[19]

• The German Army takes Kharekov in the Soviet Union.[24] Twenty thousand Jews fell into Nazi hands,[25]
• October 24, 1941: Six thousand work passes were distributed in Vilna. This meant 4,000 Jews without work passes would be sent to their doom on Polna. They were hunted down by the Lithuanians. Among the dead were 885 children.[26]
• October 24, 1941: Sixteen thousand Odessa, Ukraine, Jews are force-marched out of the city toward Dalnik, where they are bound together in groups of 40 to 50 and shot, at first in the open and later through holes drilled in the walls of warehouses. Three of these structures are set ablaze and a fourth is exploded by artillery fire.[27]
• October 24, 1942: The Jews of Lichtenstein were deported.[28]
•
• October 24, 1942: A total of 252 friends and relatives of persons from Lidice are murdered in Mauhausen in reprisal for the assassination of Heydrich.[29]

[16] "The last week in October about one half of the prisoners, comprising several thousand, were counted off and marched out of the inclosure....We were packed like sardines in box cars, and started on a free ride to Salisbury Prison." (John W. Hill, 1st Conn. Cav., Remembering Salisbury, (Stories from the Prisoners of War by Kathy Dhalle page 65.)
At Greensboro we were marched to an open field, where much attention was given to us by the residents. A kindly feeling seemed to pervade the atmosphere, as we were well treated. The next day we started on our journey for Salisbury. The ride was a bitter cold one to very many of us, as we were on open cars. As I entered Salisbury Prison there came over me a homesick feeling that I cannot describe. To be a prisoner of war, with even fair treatment, is bad enough, but to be a prisoner turned loose into an inclosure, such as Salisbury Prison pen, insufficiantly clad and fed, and with but slight protection from the weather in form of shelter, simply meant starvation and death. A great dark blot upon the South's reputation, which can never be effaced, is the treatment of prisoners in Andersonville, Salisbury and other prison pens. I have in my home a large lithograph, framed and hanging on the wall. This picture is a perfect reproduction of the Salisbury Pen. It is 32 x 42 inches, thus giving ample room, and is perfect in all its details, even to the old well. It was presented to me several yeas since by Mr. Gordon, A Southern manufacturer. This picture was taken by Mr. Gordon's brother, who lived near Salisbury at the time. Uner the picture, on the margin, is a description in large letters. It reads: "Salisbury Prison. Taken in 1864."
(John W. Hill, 1st Conn. Cav., Remembering Salisbury, (Stories from the Prisoners of War by Kathy Dhalle page 65.)
When the Union stopped the exchange of prisoners in August 1864 the population in the Prison began to rise. Additional recently captured soldiers and transferred prisoneers from other areas increased the number held at the Salisbury Prison to 5,000 by October 1864. Ten thousand men were crowded into the stockade by November and conditions began to change dramatically.(www.salisburyprison.org/prisonhistory,htm)
The worst suffering that resulted from the closing of Andersonville, however, was born by the prisoners who were shipped to Salisbury Prison in North Carolina. The inmate population at Salisbury had remained low since the initianion of exchanges in 1862, but that situation rapidly changed for the worse after the shuttering of the Georgia camp. When the number of captives confined at Belle Isle and Libby began yet another precipitious climb, the War Department ordered Major Thomas Turner, the commander of prisons in Richmond, to begin shipping excess Federals to Salisbury as quickly as possible. Turner attempted to comply, but the transfer was a nightmare from the start. Due to a combination of haste and poor planning, the initial trainloads of prisoners were sent from the capital without a single ration, and they remained without food for the three days of their journey. Their situation improved only slightly when they arrived at their destination. Rations had been adequate for the few hundred prisoners who had been confined at Salisbury during the first nine months of 1864, but they were quickly exhausted by the flood of new arrivals. Major John H. Gee commanded at Salisbury, having been warned in September to prepare for "a very large number of prisoners," he had immediately begun to enlarge the camp's stockade and dig additional wells. These projects were scarcely underway when the first wave of captives arrived on 5 October. Over the next eight weeks, 10,321 Yanks were shipped to Salisbury, and Gee and his staff were completely overwhelmed. Most of the prisoners arrived clad in rags, and replacement clothing could be provided only by stripping the dead before burial. The available barracks space was sufficient for barely half of the captives, and although this was supplemented by three hundred tents of varying sizes, almost four thousand of Salisbury's new inmates secured protection from the elements only by burrowing holes in the earth or contruction crude shelters from scraps of lumber and bits of blankets.
In order to supply one meal daily for this multitude of prisoners and the Confederate garrison, Captain Abram Myers, the post commissary officer, had to procure 13000 rations every twenty four hours. Myers earnestly attempted to satisfy this staggering requirement by instituting a ferocious impressment and commandeering local mills to grind the corn and wheat he took from farmers, but the suppy of food he amassed could not keep pace with the demand. Meat virtually disappeared from the prisoners diet, daily rations of bread grew ever smaller, and often the men were issued only unbolted cornmeal to eat. Under such conditions, the prison yards at Salisbury were transformed into a surreal world of starving savages, where the strongest prisoners stole the rations of the weak and infirm. Man nealy mad from hunger raided garbage piles in search of discarded bones; they killed and devoured rats and the few dogs and cats that strayed into the camp and consumed raw acorns that fell from the trees bordering the stockade.
