• September 30, 1337: A German knight named Harmann von Deggenburg led his horseman through the gates of Deckendorf, where they joined the local citizenry, in slaughtering the local Jewish population and seizing their property. The Jews had been accused of desecrating the host or communion wafer and the slaughter was the punishment for the foul deed. In reality the councilors of the city of Deckendorff desired to free themselves and all the citizens from the debts owed to the Jews. [1]



• To this day people come on pilgrimages to the church where paintings show Jews in Medieval dress desecrating the host “wafers.”[2]



• September 30 1452: The first printed book, the Johann Gutenberg Bible, appeared. [3]



• 1453: It was a period of of crisis for Greeks, Jews and Muslims. In 1453 the Ottoman Turks conquered the Christian capital of Constantinople and destroyed the empire of Bysantium. [1][4]

• Like previous Muslim empires, the Ottomans permitted Jews and Christians to keep their religions. [2][5]



• 1453 Jews expelled from Breslau and Franconis.[6] [6]

•

• 1453 Jews expelled from Moravia. [8][7]


September 30, 1780: They crossed the Blue Ridge at Gillespies’s Gap and rode on to arrive at Quuaker Meadows on September 30. There, at McDowell’s Plantation, their numbers were increased to 1,400 by North and South Carolina reinforcements.
Besides Shelby and Sevier, the expedition had already been joined by Colonel William Campbell, the six-foot-six giant who was an Indian fighter and a born leader. He had fought in Lord Dunmore’s War (1774) and had married Patrick Henry’s sister.[4][8]

In Hank Messick’s summation, Other leaders who gathered on this venture were Joseph McDowell, a Virginian who had forsaken the easy life to move to the Carolina Piedmont, and Benjamin Cleveland, another Virginian, who had moved west and built his reputation as an Indian fighter. These would soon be joined by other outstanding fighters: James Williams, a longtime Tory hatrer who had served as a delegate to the provincial legislature of South Carolina; William Chronicle, a veteran of the 1780 skirmishes and a resident of the south fork of the Catawba; Joseph Winston, a leather-tough frontiersman who had been fighting Indianssince he was 17; and Edward Lacey, a one-time Pennsylvanian who at the age of 13 had served with Edward Braddock’s army in the Indian campaigns. (King’s Mountain)[5] [9]


Fall, 1780
He (Samuel Vance3)(Samuel2, Andrew1) ,was engaged in most of the scrapes which took place with the Indians in those dark times and in the fall of 1780 he joined a regiment under the command of Colonel William Campbell, marched into South Carolina and was present when the British and Tories were so completely used up at the memorable little battle of King's Mountain, of which event he has always been fond of talking. He would laugh heartily while relating the anecdote of the British officer who wrote to his friends in England that the detachment under Major Ferguson had been surrounded and cut to pieces in the mountains by a savage horde dressed in long hunting shirts, with long teeth, etc.[6] [10]
1780
Walter Crockett belonged to a family that early settled on the headwaters of the South Fork of Holston. He was a county magistrate and at the Battle of King’s Mountain in 1780. (Walter Crockett is on the deposition with Conrad and Francis, Augusta County Court. JG) In 1774 he was a captain in the militia for Fincastle County.[7][11] Regarding the hanging of Francis Hopkins, the Tory bandit, …At the ensuing October session of the Virginia Legislature, an act was passed, at the instance of Gerneal Thomas Nelson, Jr., one of the signers of the Declatation of Independence, and afterwards Governor or the state, to fully meet the case, though it sould seem to have hardly been necessary. The act states, that while the measures may not have been “strictly warranted by law, it was justifiable from the immediate urgency and imminence of the danger”, hence, that ”William Campbell, Walter Crockett , and other liege subjects of the Commonwealth, aided by detachments of the militia and volunteers from the County of Washington and other parts of the frontiers, did by timely and effectual exertion, suppress and defeat such conspiracy,” and they were declared fully exonerated and indemnified for the act.”[8] [12]


Advancing across the border into North Carolina, Major Ferguson became alarmed by news that the mountaineers of North Carolina, Virginia, and the future state of Tennessee were rising against him. Ferguson turned about, retreated to what he hoped was an impregnable position atop King’s Mountain just across the South Carolina border, and called on Cornwallis for help, which failed to arrive on time.[9][13]



September 30, 1781:



Col. John Gibson to Gen. Washington.

A large party [of Indians] has since done some mischief in the County of Ohio, and on Ten Mile Creek they have killed and taken 16 persons, and have effected this with the loss of only two of their party.

In my last, I informed your Excellency that I had fixed on ye 4th of September as a day of general rendezvous for the troops to assemble at Fort Mcintosh, to make an excursion against the Wyandot Towns. On receiving the intelligence contained in the minister’s letter, with the advice of the principal officers, I postponed it until the 12th day of September, as by that time we might be able to obtain certain intelligence of the enemy.

Colonel Brodhead, though for what reason I am at a loss to determine, wrote circular letters informing the country that he had fixed on the 15th of September as a day of general rendezvous on Montour’s Run for the militia to assemble. This, and the Indians striking near Wheeling, threw the country into confusion. However, at the day I had appointed, upwards of 100 assembled, but the number was too small to attempt anything; while Colonel Brodhead had the mortification to find that not a single man appeared on the day fixed on for his general rendezvous. A day or two after, the officers wrote Colonel Brodhead a letter, informing him it was their opinion he could not, with propriety, in the present situation of affairs, re-assume the command, a copy of which I did myseif the honor of enclosing in my last letter to your Excellency. He sent me an arrest by the Brigade Major, informing me that I was arrested for assuming the chief command at this post, thereby exciting mutiny and sedition amongst a number of the officers in this Department, and also for neglect of duty and disobedience of orders, and I was to confine myseif to the range of the garrison; on receipt of which I desired the Brigade Major to inform him that I should pay no attention to his arrest, as it was evident to me as welifrom the letters of your Excellency, as also from the charge that had been exhibited against him, that he could not with any degree of propriety re-assume the command.

He continued attempting to command until the return of the express with letters from your Excellency at the Head of Elk. This put an end to the dispute, though Colonel Brodhead, even after the receipt of those letters, sent to inform me that he intended to publish it in General Orders that I was to take command of the Western Department, and wished to know whether it would be agreeable to me. I returned him for answer, that I thought there was no necessity for doing so, as the letters from your Excellency had been made known to the officers.

The express returned here on the 17th instant, and the depositions against Colonel Brodhead were not begun being taken until yesterday, owing to a difference between Colonel Brodhead and Captain Fowler respecting the appointment of the Deputy Judge Advocate; however, the matter is now settled, and I hope the business will go on without any interruption.

I hope your Excellency will pardon my intrusion on your patience with the length of this letter, as I do it in justification of my conduct in this dispute, lest any reports may prejudice me in your Excellency’s esteem.

I have, with the advice of Colonel William Crawford and other principal gentlemen of this country, fixed on the 15th day of October for the militia to assemble at Fort McIntosh, in order, if possible, to make an excursion against the Wyandotte Towns; and from the accounts which I have from the different parts of the country, the people will turn out, and I expect to be able to collect 700 men at least for that purpose. Colonel Crawford goes with me, and most of the principal gentlemen of this country.

Inclosed are the returns of the troops of this department. This will be handed your Excellency by Major William Croghan, who has spent some time in this department; he will be able to give your Excellency a full account of every transaction in this country. Permit me, therefore, to refer your Excellency to him.

I have the honor to be, with perfect respect,



Your Excellency’s most ob’t. humble Servant, John Gibson, Col.

Comdg. W. D.

His Excellency Genl Washington [14]

September 30, 1809: Ancestor and future President William Henry Harrison negotiated numerous land cession treaties with American Indians, including the the Treaty of Fort Wayne on September 30, 1809, in which Miami, Pottawatomie, Lenape and other tribal leaders sold 3,000,000 acres (approximately 12,000 km²) to the United States.[2][3]





Tenskwatawa, by Charles Bird King.

Tenskwatawa, known as the Prophet, had been leading a religious movement among the northwestern tribes calling for a return to the ancestral ways. His brother, Tecumseh, was outraged by the Treaty of Fort Wayne, and thereafter he emerged as a prominent leader. Tecumseh revived an idea advocated in previous years by the Shawnee leader Blue Jacket and the Mohawk leader Joseph Brant[17],

[18]

which stated that American Indian land was owned in common by all tribes, and land could not be sold without agreement by all the tribes.[2][4] Not yet ready to confront the United States directly, Tecumseh's primary adversaries were initially the American Indian leaders who had signed the treaty. He began by intimidating them and threatening to kill anyone who carried out the terms of the treaty. Tecumseh began to travel widely, urging warriors to abandon the accommodationist chiefs and to join the resistance at Prophetstown. Tecumseh insisted that the Fort Wayne treaty was illegitimate.[5] In a 1810 meeting with Harrison, he demanded that Harrison nullify the treaty and warned that Americans should not attempt to settle the lands sold in the treaty. Harrison rejected his demands and insisted that the tribes could have individual relations with the United States.[6]

Fri. September 30, 1864

Started back at 1 pm marched to Harrisonburg at snset cold and rainy out of rations land hilly red clay good for wheat and fruit



Late Sept.? After spending four weeks in Libby Prison in Richmond, VA, Gilbert Prey (from Job Kirby's 104th New York Volunteer Infantry, Possibly Job was here as well) was sent to Salisbury, North Carolina for two weeks and then on to Danville, VA, until he was exchanged nearly six months later on February 21, 1865.[19]



• September 30, 1938: Hitler convinced Chamberlain and Daladier that he wanted to protect German rights in the Sudetenland by annexing it, (hence, the Munich Agreement) and that he had no further demands. Chamberlain gave in, claiming that by doing so he had achieved “peace in our time”.[20]



September 30, 19391

A Polish government is formed in Paris after the fall of Warsaw to the German Army.[21]

1939-1945

The Holocaust. About 6 million Jews, including 1.5 million children, systematically killed by Nazi Germany.[22]



September-October 1939

Following instructions issued by SS chief Reinhard Heydrich “the leading strata of the population should be rendered harmless” the SS killed some 20,000 Poles, mainly priests, politicians and academics, in September and October 1939.[23]



September 30, 1941

German Panzer groups attack and break the Soviet lines east of the Dnieper River in the Soviet Union. [24]

On September 30, Brunner telexed to Eichmann and asked for the green light for the departure of a convoy on October 7 (XLIX-49). On October 1, Eichmann responded favorably (XLIX-50) and added that a commando to escort the convoy would come from Stuttgart.



• September 30, 1941: After two days, the Germans had slaughtered 33,000 Jews at Kiev in the Soviet Union.[25]



• September 30, 1941: Opening of the Battle of Moscow. This clash of the Nazi and Red armies would last for five months. If the Nazis had been successful, and in the opening stages it looked as if they would the Soviet capital, it might well have meant the end of meaningful Soviet resistance in Europe. As the two armies slammed against each other through the Russian Winter, the fate of European Jewry hung in balance. Had the Red Army not held, the total Jewish victims of the Holocaust would have been closer to nine or twelve million and not the six million who actually perished.[26]



• September 30, 1942: New construction at the Treblinka death camp greatly increases its gas chamber capacity.[27]



• September 30, 1942: Polish Jews trapped in the Warsaw Ghetto begin the construction of bunkers for a military defense. By January of 1943, they will have constructed more than 600 fortified bunkers.[28]



• September 30, 1942: The Ternopol Judenrat is ordered to hand over 1,000 Jews to the Nazis, and refuses. The Nazis and their helpers arrest Jews and deport 800 of them to Belzec.[29]

• End of September, 1942: Because of increasingly dire reports from France, the American relief agencies soon asked Washington to raise the number from 1000 to 5,000 visas for Jewish children. By the end of September, the State Department had complied.[30]

• September 30, 1943: The Krupp arms factory at Mariupol, Ukraine, is dismantled and relocated west to Funfteichen, Silesia, Poland, where it is staffed by Jewish slave laborers.[31]



September 30, 1943: Convoy 60 included 564 males and 436 females. One hundred eight were children under 18. The routine telex (XLIX-52) was signed by Rothke. It established that on October 7, at 10:30 AM, a convoy of 1,000 Jews left Paris/Bobigny with the Meister der Schupo, Schlamm, head of the escort. On October 13, Hoss, Commandant of Auschwitz, telexed to Rothke (XLIX-53) that on October 10 at 5:30, the convoy actually arrived.



When they arrived in Auschwitz, 340 men were selected and went to Buna, the I.G Farben synthetic rubber plant at Auschwitz. They were assigned numbers 156940 through 157279. One hundred sixty nine women remained alive and were given numbers 64711 through 64879. The rest, 491 people, were gassed.



In 1945, less than two years later, 31 of the 509 selected had survived. Two of the survivors were women.



Professor Waitz, who was on this convoy, gave an account of the voyage from Drancy to Auschwitz:



“The voyage in closed cattle cars began at Drancy on October 7, 1943. In each car, one or two pails of water and a sanitary bucket; 95 to 100 persons squeezed together, without sufficient provisions. In two infirmary cars, where there are some straw mattresses on the floor, are the old, those recovering from typhoid or pneumonia, pregnant women, women with infants, ets., and nine screaming women who were taken from an insane asylum by the Germans.

“It is difficult to care for people in these infirmary wagons as the medicine is in an ordinary car and we are not allowed to go pick it up during the stops. During one stop, I try to obtain heart medicine for one old man who is fainting repeatedly; the German NCO tells me: ‘Let him croak, he’ll be dead soon anyway.’



“During another stop, I request water for the sick, and another NCO answers: ‘It’s useless to give them any, they’ll be finished soon.’

“After three days and three nights of travel, the train arrives at a station platform on October 10, 1943, around three in the morning, and remains standing there until dawn.”



On board Convoy 60 was Mosiek Gottlibowicz, born December 12, 1888 from Wilezyn, Russia.[32]



• September 30, 1943 to April,1944: Between now and April of 1944, Jewish slave laborers exhume at least 68,000 corpses of murdered Jews and Soviet POWs at the Ponary, Lithuania, killing ground, near Vilna.[33]



• September 30, 1946: Twenty two top Nazi leaders were found guilty of war crimes at Nuremberg.[34]



• The only Nazi ever excommunicated by the Church of Rome, even after all the war crime tribunals was Joseph Gerbils. His crime? He married a Protestant. [35]



• 1946: A year after the end of hostilities a Nazi underground movement remained active in Bavaria.[36]



September 30, 1970

The New American Bible is published in its entirety for the first time.[37]

[10] [6] Obit. For Samuel Vance b. 1749, d. 8 Dec 1838. In the vicinity of the evening of the 8th inst. Samuel Vance, Sr. in the 89th year of his age. The deceased was one of the oldest settlers in the country. He emigrated from Frederick County in this state some time in the year 1773, has resided on the farm where he died, near 65 years. He was engaged in most of the scrapes which took place with the Indians in those dark times and in the fall of 1780 he joined a regiment under the command of Colonel William Campbell, marched into South Carolina and was present when the British and Tories were so completely used up at the memorable little battle of King's Mountain, of which event he has always been fond of talking. He would laugh heartily while relating the anecdote of the British officer who wrote to his friends in England that the detachment under Major Ferguson had been surrounded and cut to pieces in the mountains by a savage horde dressed in long hunting shirts, with long teeth, etc. Like most of the farmer's sons of those days, the deceased received a very limited education, but he had a good mind and an extraordinary memory, was fond of reading and perhaps there were few men among the yeomanry of our country who were better read in ancient and modern history, or who had a better knowledge of the affairs of our government and the world at large. As a husband, father and friend he had few equals, and though he was somewhat eccentric in his manners, he yet possessed in a high degree that amiable trait of human character -- a bevalent (sic) heart. Fro 60 or 70 years he was a hard laborin man and during his long life enjoyed more than an ordinary share of good health. His late illness (which he bore with uncommon fortitude) was nothing more than the struggle of a powerful constitution with old age. He passed quietly and calmly from the troubles of this world to that bourne from which no traveller returns.Ancestors of Forrest Roger Garnett pp. 1820.28-29.

[17] When the smoke of wood fires and burning leaves clings to the November mists in the Mohawk Valley, men still talk about Joseph Brant, the great Mohawk war captain who tried all his life to keep a foot in two worlds, the red and the white.

He refused to bend his knee to King George but gallantly kissed the hand of his queen. He had his portrait painted by the famous English painter George Romney. He was at ease drinking tea from fragile china cups, but could hurl a tomahawk with deadly accuracy. He was a graduate of the Indian school that later became Dartmouth College, and he translated the Bible into the Mohawk language, yet he could leave the Mohawk a blazing ruin from Fort Stanwix, near Rome, to the very outskirts of Schenectady. He was one of the greatest of American Indians; had he given his support to the struggling Continental army the course of our history would certainly have been changed.

But it would have been improbable if not impossible for Brant to wear a Continental tricorn;he was too vain and too closely allied with the Lords of the Valley to consider casting his lot with the humble Palatine Dutch farmers who talked so much of freedom. For Brant, they had the stink of cow dung about them; he was familiar with buckled shoes and cologne.

His decision to side with the British was tragic for the Iroquis Confederacy or Six Nations as it was called. That ancient confederation bound together by wisdom, skill at war, and diplomacy became helplessly divided when it was agreed that each nation should go its own way. In the past a declaration helplessly divided when it was agreed that each nation should go its own way. In the past a declation of war had to be voted unanimously. Some nations like the Oneida went with the Americans other tried to stay neutral, or like Brant’s Mohawk fought for the British.

Brant joined Colonel Barry St. Leger’s invasion of the Mohawk, one of the prongs of Burgoyn’s doomed campaign. The famous Battle or Oriskany, undoubtebly the bloodiest and most ferocious of the Revolution, was fought with Herkimer’s gallant farmer standing musket to musket with the King’s Own, the best of his Hessian gamekeeper-sharpshooters, and Brant’s painted warriors. Brant, who despised defeat,m led his Indians back to Frot Niagara, bitterly advising the British high command in Montreal that from now on he would fight his way.

For six years he led his Indian raiders into the Mohawk, again and again leaving the beautiful valley a sea of flames while the alarm bells in the tiny forts clanged frantically.

Some raids became classic atrocity stories of American wars: Cherry Valley, where women and children lay dead in the snow with Brant protesting fiercely that Walter Butler, who led Butler’s Rangers, was to blame; Wyoming, which gave birth to the celebrated eighteenth-century poem “Gertrude of Wyoming,” which pictures Brant as a murderousd fiend who slaughtered the innocent. But as it developed Brant was never there.

Following the Revolution Brant led his people, the first American DPs, across the border to settle in Canada.

He came in solitary glory to Philadelphia in 1792 to see Washington and his cabinet, but olnly after the other Iroquois chiefs, like Cornplanter and Red Jackt, had already left the capital. It was typicalof Brant. Humilyut was alien to the Mohawk; in fact, pride and arrogance were his major flaws.

Brant was no wigwam, story book Indian dressed in Buckskins staind with bear grease and smelling of a thousand campfires. He was educated, he wrote with the grace and lucidity that was far beyond many of the farmers he had fought against. His clothes were of the finest material, and in his luxurious home elaborate meals were served on crisp Irish linen. He had a host of slaves, as many as the aristocratic Virginians who would later rule the United States

He died in his fine home on Grand River, Ontario, November 24, 1807, whispering with his last breath: Have pity on the poor Indians.” Painter: Brant was painted by many famous artist; among them were Romney, Charles Willson Peal, George Catlin, and Wilhelm Berezy. It is not certain who painted this post-revolutionary portrait. (The McKenney-Hall Portrait Gallery of American Indians by James D. Horan.)
