December 22, 69: Emperor Vitellius is captured and murdered by the Gemonian stairs in Rome. Vitellius was the third of The Four Emperors. He would be succeeded by Vespasian, the man who put down the rebellion in Judea that began 2,000 years of exile.[1]
December 22, 244: Birthdate of Diocletian, the Roman Emperor who ordered all of his subjects to accept his divinity and offer sacrifices to him. He exempted the Jews from this decree. According to Meir Holder, “his regime was comparatively favorable to the Jewish people.[2]
December 22, 1603: Mehmed III Sultan of the Ottoman Empire passed away. Born in 1566, Mehmed III continued the Turkish practice of taking advantage of the skills of his Jewish subjects. He appointed a Jew named Gabriel Buonaventura as ambassador to Spain which may seem counter-intuitive considering that Spain had expelled her Jews a century earlier. Two Jewish doctors named Benveniste and Korina were in palace service. In 1597 a Morrano named Alvaro Mendez who had taken the Turkish appellation Solomon Abenyaes prepared a treaty of alliance with England aimed at King Philip of Spain.
December 22, 1603: Ahmed I becomes Sultan of the Ottoman Empire following the death of Mehmed III. During his reign, Sultan Ahmed I caught small pox, a highly fatal disease. When his palace physicians could not help him, Ahmed sought help from Buha Eskenazi, the widow of Solomon Eskenazi who had been one of his doctors. The widow Eskenazi was able to affect a cure and she remained in the Sultan’s service.[3]
December 22, 1696: Birthdate of James Oglethorpe, founder of the colony of Georgia. “In July, 1733, a month after Georgia was founded by James Oglethorpe, forty Sephardic Jews arrived in Savannah.” A year later German Jews arrived in the colony.” The trustees of the colony wanted to discourage the Jewish settlement. Oglethorpe had the courage and good sense to ignore their wishes.[4]
Sunday December 22, 1754: Braddock, with several other officers, sail from Ireland for America. The troops for Braddock's expedition will follow in January. [5]
December 22, 1768
The Rev. Daniel McKinnon and the Rev. Jeremiah Berry were licensed to preach, by the Bishop of London, on December 22, 1768. Both of these young men were sent to the colonies to minister to the Plantations of Maryland.[6]
The Reverend Daniel McKinnon was licensed to preach by the Bishop of London in 1768. He is known to have acted as a missionary as early as 1750-1753. A letter was sent by the compiler to the present Lord Bishop of London, asking for an explanation of this fact. His reply stated that whereas it was not customary to send young men to America prior to being ordained, there has been exceptions. Without quoting from the records in the case of Daniel McKinnon, "which are difficult to locate at this date," there was an example given on the well-known Rev. Charles Inglis, D.D., who, in 1787, became the English Colonial Bishop. He was in America as a young man, acted as a lay catechist and teacher. In 1758, he returned to England and received ordination.
It appears, therefore, that Daniel McKinnon, after spending a number of years disseminating the gospel in America, returned to England to complete his studies and preparation for ordination, and was ordained December 22, 1768, returning to America in 1769, as will appear.
Under the subject of "All Saints' Parish, Frederick County, established in 1742, it is stated that the Reverend Bacon was the minister in charge of this church up to the time of his death, May 27, 1768. He was succeeded by the Rev. Bennett Allen.
1769: Early in 1769, the Rev. Jeremiah Berry, a native of Maryland, was in charge as curate of Monocacy Chapel and the Rev. Daniel McKennon, also as curate, was ministering to the Frederick congregation. [7]
1769: Daniel returned to Maryland in 1769 and is listed as the Minister at All Saints Parish in Frederick County, Maryland.[8]/[9]
1769:King James Version (Oxford Standard edition corrected by Dr. Benjamin Blayney).[10]
At the concession stand at the Washington Home at Mt. Vernon I purchased a copy of “George Washington’s Diaries,” an abridgment by Dorothy Turohig. She gives an explanation behind the messages and events which Washington describes (Ref36). Of particular interest this writer points out that “This land which William and Valentine Crawford had surveyed for the Washingtons in 1769 is in the vicinity of Perryopolis, PA, in what is now Fayette County, PA.” (Ref 33.9) I believe this is the parcels she is referring to. [11]
1769
In 1754, as an incentive to recruit men for the Virginia Regiment — which eventually bled so at Fort Necessity — Governor Dinwiddie had promised 200,000 acres of frontier land as a bounty. Fifteen years later, in 1769, Washington reminded Lord Botetourt, the latest of Dinwiddie’s successors, of that promise and obtained a grant of lands down the Ohio River, wherever a suitable tract might be found. [12]
1769 January. Daniel McKinnon assigned as curate to All Saints Parish, Frederick, Maryland.[13]

1796 PENNSYLVANIA DRAWN FROM THE BEST AUTHORITIES by Cyrus Harris, engraved by A. Dolittle, published by Thomas & Andrews. This map is from the third edition of The American Universal Geography by Jedidiah Morse, published by Thomas & Andrews, Boston c1796. It can be dated 1789-95 by counties shown. The map is shown in both east and west images. There is no Erie triangle indicating the map was prepared prior to 1792. The 1768 Purchase Line from Canoe Place (Cherry Tree) to the Allegheny River at Kitanning is shown. Delaware is a separate state. There is a compass rose at upper left and longitude is from Philadelphia. No. 446 in Wheat & Brun and listed on page 679 of Phillips. Blank verso. Scale:1 inch =25 miles. Size: 8.25 x 13.5 inches.
THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA REDUCED WITH PERMISSION FROM READING HOWELL'S MAP by Samuel Lewis. Smither - Sculp. Engraved for Carey's American edition of Guthrie's Geography Improved. The map is shown here with both an east and west image. This is one of the earliest copies of the 1792 Howell map. Wheat & Brun (No. 442) date it 1795; Phillips, page 679, dates it 1796; it can be dated 1789-95 by counties shown. This map was published by Mathew Carey, Philadelphia, in several other publications including: The General Atlas for Carey's Edition of Guthrie's Geography Improved 1796 No. 33; Carey's General Atlas, Philadelphia 1796, Map 33; and Carey's American Atlas, Philadelphia 1795, No. 10. Longitude west from London at top, from Philadelphia at bottom. Blank verso. Scale:1 inch = 18 miles. Size: 18 x 26 inches.
The Scott and Carey atlases from which these two 1795 maps come vie for the title of 'first atlas published of the United States', so both are shown here.

John Crawford received the following warrants within the Virginia Military District, in Ohio, as per records in the State Auditor’s office: Warrant No. 19, in 1790, to John Crawford, on Eagle Creek, 475 acres. Book A.; page 154. (on the line of John Harrison).[29]
1790:In 1790, Fort Dillie was erected on the west side of the Ohio. Bakers Fort was a mile below the moutth of the Captina. Many desperate Indian battles were fought within the limits of this county, and the famous Indian scout, Lewis Wetzel, roamed over the region.
St. Clairsville is the county seat, situated on the elevation of land, in a fertile district. Capt. Kirkwood and Elizabeth Zane, of historic fame, were early pioneers here. [30]
1790
Three Jews from Alsace are told to give up their traditional occupations - crafts, small trade and music (represented by the tools strung up on the tree) - and to turn instead to agriculture (represented by a plow).
Frontispiece of the polemic "The Alsatian Jews - Should They Be Granted Equal Rights?" published in 1790.
[31]
Still, as late as 1790 Jews comprised less than 1 percent of colonial Pennsylvania’s population. Fewer than 300 Jews lived inPennsylvania in the seventeenth century, and fewer than 500 resided there by the time of the American Revolution. Jews were so few in colonial Pennsylvania that most Jews knew one another. Their personal ties sustained both their family and social lives as well as their religious and economic activities.[32]
1798 - December 22 - By act of the General Assembly, Harrison Academy at Cynthiana was incorporated. Trustees: Benjamin Harrison, William E. Boswell, Henry Coleman, Hugh Miller, Sr., John Wall, Samuel Lamb, Samuel McMullin, Samuel Cook, Robert Hingston. [33] This institution, named after Benjamin Harrison operated until 1872, then becoming the Cynthiana public school. When a new Kentucky county was formed out of old Bourbon County, it was named for Benjamin Harrison. [34] The academy was in a stone building on the North side of Pearl Street, at the end of Walnut Street on what was later the old Cemetery grounds. [35]
1799, 1801, 1811 three children of “Franz (also Franziskus) and Maria Gottlob” baptized at Henron Church, Intermont, Hampshire County. [36]
It should be clearly understood, that while Washington did not receive land for his pay in the military service, he did employ his own party of surveyors to survey land for him. At his death, he was the owner of more than 70,000 acres of land, as per will in 1799. The huge surveys which William Crawford arranged for Washington in the Kanawh area, were; The Poca tract, Washington Bottom at Parkersburg, W. VaA., the Ravenswood tract, Round Bottom and (the Millwood tract, now in present Jackson County, W. VA.) The latter containing more than 4,000 acres. There were other tracts surveyed for Washington as well as for the officers and soldiers of the King’s Grant.
On the original surveys at Morgantown, W. VA., are listings of other surveyors, who were working with William Crawford in the Kanawha district. Those whose names are well known in surveying history; Robert Rutherford, Richard Graham, Alexander Henderson and Robert Griffith, etc…[37]
1803 - December 22 - Benjamin Harrison, Sr. cancelled power of attorney given Richard J. Waters*- and revoked his Will: To all those who will see these presents, greetings. Let it be known that I, Benjamin Harrison, Senior, domiciled in the Province of Louisiana in the District of New Madrid., disavow and annul by these presents a general power (of attorney) given by me to Richard J. Waters, also domiciled in the aforesaid District, as well as a Will which is thereto annexed., hereby declaring of no value all other acts or writings, etc. which he may have made in the meantime in virtue of the aforesaid Power, or in case of my death, I declare also, my last wishes, or the Will which is attached to the said power, to be nul and without effect or value, and as a thing that never happened. In virtue of which I have affixed my seal and signed by hand this 22nd day of December, 1803.
Before me. Benj. Harrison, Sr.
Juan Lavallee[38]
*Richard Jones Waters settled at New Madrid about 1790. He was a doctor, trader, mill owner, land speculator. (Douglass, P. 97)
1804: Conrad would have learned about the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804.[39]
1804-1805: William Henry Harrison administered government of District of Louisiana 1804-1805.[40] In Vincennes, he served as a contact during the expedition; surviving records document his support[41] and his involvement in decisions about western Indian chiefs visiting Washington.[42]
In 1804, Col. Meason filled the first order for sugar kettles called for by Southern planters.[43]
1804: By 1804 few Jews remained in Lancaster, and Jewish life there ended until a new group of Jews settled there fifty years later.[44]
1804
In 1804 the first post office was recorded for Springfield. Simon Kenton built a gristmill and distillery where the old International Harvester plant now stands.[45]
In 1804, Andrew Jackson (2nd cousin 8 times removed) acquired the "Hermitage", a 640-acre (2.6 km2) plantation in Davidson County, near Nashville. Jackson later added 360 acres (1.5 km2) to the farm. The primary crop was cotton, grown by enslaved workers. Jackson started with nine slaves, by 1820 he held as many as 44, and later held up to 150 slaves.[46]
1804: Napolean crowns himself emporor.[47]
The dark green line on this field is a cropmark that reveals the path of an 1804 alteration to the Turkey Foot Road. This 2010 photo shows both Maryland and Pennsylvania. [48]
December 22, 1822: Sally McKinnon married Gabriel Banes.[49]
1823:Just four years later Conrad and Caty sell 80 acres of the identical description for $483. to John Hamilton. (Ref #12 & 12.1) Whether they kept three acres is not known, but they recovered $517. Less than was paid for the land four years earlier purchased under the name of Conrad only. It is somewhat interesting to note that the deed to Mr. Hamilton was signed by “Caty Goodlove”; she no doubt went by Caty and preferred it to the extent she signed the instrument as “Caty”. This signature prompted me to use the name in the title of this article: “Conrad and Caty”[50]
December 22, 1828: The Tennessee legislature again nominated Freemason and ancestor Andrew Jackson for President. Jackson attracted Vice President John C. Calhoun, Martin Van Buren, and Thomas Ritchie into his camp (the latter two previous supporters of Crawford). Van Buren, with help from his friends in Philadelphia and Richmond, revived the old Republican Party, gave it a new name as the Democratic Party, "restored party rivalries", and forged a national organization of durability.[18] The Jackson coalition handily defeated Adams in 1828.
During the election, Jackson's opponents referred to him as a "jackass." Jackson liked the name and used the jackass as a symbol for a while, but it died out. However, it later became the symbol for the Democratic Party when cartoonist Thomas Nast popularized it.[19]
The campaign was very much a personal one. Although neither candidate personally campaigned, their political followers organized many campaign events. Both candidates were rhetorically attacked in the press, which reached a low point when the press accused Jackson's wife Rachel of bigamy. Though the accusation was true, as were most personal attacks leveled against him during the campaign, it was based on events that occurred many years prior (1791 to 1794). Jackson said he would forgive those who insulted him, but he would never forgive the ones who attacked his wife. Rachel died suddenly on December 22, 1828, prior to his inauguration, and was buried on Christmas Eve.[51]
1829: At 19 Abraham Baer Gottlober remarried and movede to Podolia where, under the influence of Menahem Mendel Levin’s works, he began writing in Yiddish and in Hebrew. [52] He married again, but found his second wife unbearable and soon divorced her.[53]
October 1-December 22, 1941 : From this date until 12/22/1941, the German murder 33,500 Jews in Actionen, in Vilna, Lithuania.[54]
December 22, 1941: The Japanese invade the Philippines. Churchill arrives in Washington for a conference with Roosevelt.[55]

Jim,
It is interesting that Lewis Godlove is from Bavaria. Francis Gotlop/Godlove indicated he was from Werneck which is also in Bavaria. Werneck was a Jewish community. I wonder what the connection is? Jeff
Tim, Very interesting that the letter you sent from Judge J. Didawick in 1905 is written to From St. Louis. I was wondering also, about Ray's lineage as well when you have a moment.
Here is information about Lewis Godlove from St. Louis.

It is interesting that Lewis Godlove is from Bavaria. Francis Gotlop/Godlove indicated he was from Werneck which is also in Bavaria. Werneck was a Jewish community. I wonder what the connection is? Jeff
Jeff,
Thanks for the quick reply. Ray Godlove is my Uncle and I am the son of Wayne Godlove whose father was Clarence L. Godlove of Wardensville, WV. I have attached a letter that you might be interested to read if Ray do not pass it on to you.
The Cohen Modal Haplotype fact is very interesting to me, I have this gene as well.
Regards,
Tim
Tim, Very interesting that the letter you sent from Judge J. Didawick in 1905 is written to From St. Louis. I was wondering also, about Ray's lineage as well when you have a moment.

Here is the response I received from the Hessain Archives in Marburg (attached pdf).
Here is the German and English (loose translation).
Karl Emil v. Donop
Ihre Anfrage vom 10.12.2009
Sehr geehrter Herr McDonough,
in unseren Militärbeständen finden sich keine Hinweise auf eine Exhumierung des bei Redbank tödlich verwundeten Obersten Karl Emil v. Donop und die Überführung seines Leichnams nach Hessen.
Friedrich Wilhelm Strieder, seinerzeit der beste Kenner der hessischen Militärgeschichte und als Archivar der Verwalter der hessischen Militär- und
Kabinettsakten, berichtet in seiner 1798 erschienen „Grundlage zur Militär-Geschichte des Landgräflich Hessischen Corps“, dass Donop auf seinen Wunsch durch den amerikanischen Kommandanten Hasselworth vor dem Fort mit allen militärischen
Ehren beigesetzt wurde und man einen Gedenkstein mit der lateinischen Aufschrift „multis flebilis occidit“ gesetzt habe. Von einer Exhumierung und Überführung nach Deutschland war Strieder offenbar nichts bekannt.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen i.A.
Helmut Klingelhöfer
Karl Emil v. Donop
Their inquiry of 10.12.2009
Dear Mr. McDonough,
in our military existence are no referring to a Exhumierung with talking back to mortally wounded
highest Karl Emil v. Donop and the transfer of its body to Hessen. Friedrich Wilhelm Strieder, at that time the best connoisseur of the Hessian Military history and as an archivist of the managers of the Hessian military and Cabinet documents, reported in its 1798 appeared „basis for the military history of the Landgräflich Hessian Corps “that Donop on its desire by that American commander Hasselworth, before the away with all military Honours was buried and one Gedenkstein with latin label „multis flebilis occidit “ (many lamentable to fall) set. From a Exhumierung and a transfer to Germany Strieder obviously nothing was well-known.
Yours sincerely on behalf.
Helmut Klingelhöfer
So it would appear that the "Rutgers" skull has
a good chance of being the real article.
Now if we can get a DNA match from one of the Count's descendents we can confirm or deny this.
Unfortunately, I still haven't heard back from any of them.
Bob

Bob,
Bob, Perhaps if you send a DNA kit with your paperwork to a known ancestor they will be interested in determining whether it is a match. Also I might add that perhaps a proper burial of the skull is in order and that it might be a sensible approach to your endeavor. Jeff

[26] Ann Whaley Stephenson (Hugh’s wife) and her brood, moved into southwestern Pennsylvania at a later date than her relatives, and no doubt this was after her husband’s death. There in (what is now) Fayette County, we find the plantation of Ann Stephenson, along Jacob’s Creek. The boundaries of her plantation, of 320 acres ‘The Springfield’, were the farms of her relatives and neighbors. ‘The Grand Parade’, 76 ¼ acres, belonged to her brother in law, John Stephenson, and John’s 414 or 412 acres ‘Antiqua’ next to this. Samuel Wellls to the north, also named his the ‘Springfield’, Elizabeth Meason’s ‘Arch Land’ (or ‘Rich Land’) and to the east, Thomas Meason and his ‘Rich Land’. Benjamin Whaley to the southwest, called his plantation, over 400 acres, the ‘Prosperity’. All in what is now Upper Tyrone Township.

[29] The amount of land due John Crawford, including his father’s bounty lands amounted to more than 10,000 acres and in the process of collecting, evidence points to the fact that it was not in one huge location, butr was surveyed in smaller plats as was convenient. Therefore, it is impossible to account for most of it.
During the time John Crawford was accumulating his and father’s military bounty lands, for their services in the American Revolutionary War, John’s life ended in mustery and he did not apply for the balance of the land that was due him. More than 35 years after John’s death, his bounty lands were being applied for, by other branches of the family, besides his own heirs. (From River Clyde to Tymochtee and Col. William Crawford by Grace U. Emahiser, 1969, p. 186-187.)

While Francis is still speculated to be Conrad’s father, clearly his speculated sister is having her child babtised in a Christian church. This illustration shows however the possibility of a Jewish person changing occupations and becoming a farmer.

[40] The District of Louisiana (1804), or Territory of Louisiana (1805), included most of the land in the Louisiana Purchase north of the 33rd parallel (the present day northern boundary of the state of Louisiana). For administrative purposes, this portion of the territory was attached to the Indiana Territory. The land south of this boundary line was the "Orleans Territory." See "1803 Map of U.S. after the Louisiana Purchase, " compiled by H. George Stoll, Hammond Incorporated, 1967, revised by U. S. Geological Survey, 1970, Civics Online Web site, http://www.civics-online.org (accessed November 9, 2005). (B00592)
[41] Harrison sent William Clark a copy of the "Indian Office" map that included the Missouri River and Mandan Country, acknowledged Clark's intent to keep him informed, and asked Clark to invite Meriwether Lewis to visit him in Vincennes on the way home. Harrison to Clark, Vincenes, November 13, 1803, Letters of the Lewis and Clark Expedition with Related Documents, 1783-1854, ed. Donald Jackson (Urbana, 1962), 135-36. B00600)
For acts regarding the division of the lands of the Louisiana, see U.S. Statutes at Large, II, 283-89, 331-32, Library of Congress http://memory.loc.gov/cgibin/ampage (accessed August 26, 2005). (B00594, B00595) In a letter to Harrison dated March 31, 1804, President Thomas Jefferson informs Harrison of his new responsibilities and directs him to move quickly to determine how to implement the division and governance of the lands, Messages and Letters, Esarey, ed., 94. (B00596)
John D. Barnhart and Dorothy L. Riker, Indiana to 1816: The Colonial Period (Indianapolis, 1971), 342-44, provides a good summary of the process of bringing the Louisiana Purchase under U.S. governance. (B00589)
[42] For Harrison's involvement in sending a group of Indian chiefs to Washington, see the following sources: Pierre Chouteau (Agent of Indian Affairs, Saint Louis) writes to Harrison regarding the Indian chiefs who had arrived in St. Louis from Fort Mandan. Chouteau asked Harrison for instructions for conducting the chiefs to Washington. There are numerous references to taking Indians to Washington to meet the "father." Pierre Chouteau to Wm. H. Harrison, St. Louis, May 22, 1805, Messages and Letters, Esarey, ed., 128-30. (B00603)
Harrison writes back to Chouteau agreeing that the Indians' trip to Washington should be postponed-if the Indian chiefs agree-until cooler weather arrives. Harrison to Pierre Chouteau, Vincennes, May 27, 1805, Messages and Letters, Esarey, ed., 135-36. (B00604)
Harrison informs the Secretary of War about the possible travel of Indian chiefs to Washington. Harrison also relays that Clark has sent him a letter [April 2, 1805] saying that all is well. William Henry Harrison to Henry Dearborn, Vincennes, May 27, 1805, Letters, Jackson, ed., 246-47. (B00606) Chouteau indicates that some of the Indians sent by Lewis are impatient to get back to their villages and some are sick (the "Mahas" and "Poncas"). The "Ottos, " Missouris and some Sioux have gone home but will return at the end of September. Those remaining with Chouteau are the great chiefs of the "Ottos" and "Missoury, " the chief "ricaras" and some Sioux. The Indians are worried about so long a journey (to Washington) in the warm season and prefer to travel in the fall. Chouteau will prepare for that and try to get some "Sakias" and "foxes" to come.
