This Day…

535 CE

A volcanic eruption, almost 1500 years ago changed the weather so radically, that it may have altered the course of human history. A colossal eruption in 535 CE entombed the planet within a volcanic cloud of gas and dust. Accounts from the period say the the sun shined like the moon for a year. The drop in global temperature had huge and surprising side effects on societies around the world. Old empires were destroyed and new ones flourished. The world we live in today emerged out of this global chaos. [2]

December 31, 535: Byzantine General Belisarius took the city of Syracuse which mark the completion of the conquest of Sicily. In 536 he would march into Rome itself. This military action was part of Emperor Justinian’s plan to take back what had been the Western Roman Empire and recreate the Roman Empire of the Caesar’s with the capital at Constantinople. Belisarius’ victory probably did not over-joy the Jews living in the "Giudecche" or Jewish Quarters of Sicily since it brought with it Justinian’s Code. Amongst other things the code “prohibited Jews from building synagogues, reading the Bible in Hebrew, assemble in public, celebrate Passover before Easter, and testify against Christians in court.”[3]



1229: Richard the Lion Hearted takes the city of Jerusalem in 1229.



December 31, 1229: James I of Aragon the Conqueror enters Medina Mayurqa (now known as Palma, Spain) thus consummating the Christian conquest of the island of Majorca. Following his victory, James “gave the Jews a quarter in the neighborhood of his palace for their dwellings, granted protection to all Hebrews who wished to settle on the island, guaranteed them the rights of citizens, permitted them to adjudicate their own civil disputes, to kill cattle according to their ritual, and to draw up their wills and marriage contracts in Hebrew. Christians and Moors were forbidden, under severe penalties, to insult the Jews or to take earth and stones from their cemeteries; and the Jews were ordered to complain directly to the king of any act of injustice toward them on the part of the royal officials. They were allowed to charge 20 per cent interest on loans, but the amount of interest was not to exceed the capital. In case a Jew practiced usury, the community was not held responsible. The penalty for lending money on the wages of slaves hired out by their masters was loss of the capital. Jews could buy and hold houses, vineyards, and other property in Majorca as well as in any other part of the kingdom. They could not be compelled to lodge Christians in their homes: in fact, Christians were forbidden to dwell with Jews; and Jewish convicts were given separate cells in the prisons. If the slave of a Jew or Moor adopted Judaism or Mohammedanism, he had to be set free and was required to leave the island.”[4]



December 31, 1378: Birthdate of Callixtus III the Pope who issued “Si ad reprimendos” the Bull that confirmed “Dudum ad nostram audientiam” which forbade Jews to live with Christians or to hold public office.[5]



December 31, 1492: One hundred thousand Jews were expelled from Sicily.[6]



December 31, 1599: The British East India Company is chartered. [7]



December 31, 1728

“December 31, 1728, Andrew Harrison, of Spotsylvania County,

Virginia, to Richard Fitz William, Esq., in trust for himself, the Honble Win. Gooch, His Majesties Lieut. Governor, Captain Vincent Pearse, Dr. Geo. Nicholas & Charles Chlswill, £70 currency; 600 acres in Spotsylvania County and sd land purchased by the sd Harrison, of Harry”Beverley, the sd land having been granted by patent to the sd Beverley.”

Witnesses: William Wombwell Cliff, Thos. Jarman, Augustine Graham. Recorded July 4, 1728.29.[8]



1729
In 1729, Andrew2 Harrison became an officer of Spotsylvania County militia, under Capt. William Johnson. [9]



December 31, 1774

While Dunmore had now been assured of Talgayeeta ending his war, it was clear he spoke for himself alone, not for the other Mingoes. Word had come that a large number of these confederated warriors had gathered and were war dancing some 40 miles to the north at Seekonk—also known as the Salt Lick Town—on the upper Scioto tributary called the Olentangy River. Dunmore had immediately sent a force of 240 men under Maj. William Crawford to cut them off, but he masked the intent of the mission from the tribal peace delegates at Camp Charlotte by announcing that they were going back to the mouth of the Hockhocking for supplies.251

Crawford’s mission, guided by Daniel Sullivan, who had once been a captive there but had escaped, was largely successful. Due to the presence of the detachment being discovered before dawn, the majority of the Mingoes made their escape in the darkness, but six were killed, several others wounded, plus 14 squaws and children taken prisoner.[10]



American Revolution 1775-1783



1775

Valentine was a private, stationed at Fort Fincastle, Augusta County, Virginia in1775.

Andw. Vance Heirs, Dunmore Co. VA Rent Rolls 1775.[11]



1775 Jews expelled to Warsaw.[12]

1775 The Origins of Prince Hall Lodge Grand Lodge of Massachusetts dates back to 1775 when a black man named Prince Hall, together with 14 other African Americans, was initated in Boston, Massachusetts. [13]



[14]



December 31, 1781

Congress establishes the Bank of North America, with a capitalization of $400,000.[15]



1782

Among the number of residents of Fayette County who registered slaves under the requirement of the law of 1780.[16]

Isaac Meason, 8; John Stevenson, 5; Each of the following name 3 slaves each. Margaret Vance, William Harrison, Dennis Springer, Thomas Moore, Robert Harrison, Richard Stevenson.



1782

George Cutlip is on this list with 4 horses and 8 cows. No extra tithables.[17]

1782
I am sure, but I need to double check, that George Cutlip is on the 1782 Augusta County taxlist. This same George Cutlip was on the Pendleton County taxlists when that county was formed from Augusta in 1787, then in Bath in 1791 when that county is formed. This George Cutlip disappeared from the taxlists in 1795. These taxlists indicate and would definitely mean there are two George Cutlips, more than likely a Jr. and a Sr., in Virginia in 1782 - Greenbrier County and Augusta County. [18]


1782
Quite different was the style in which the liberals of Europe spoke of the war and of the mercenaries. The principles which were to bring about the French Revolution were at work, and some of the actors of that great drama were already stepping upon the stage. Mirabeau, then a fugitive in Holland, published a pamphlet addressed "To the Hessians and other nations of Germany, sold by their Princes to England." It is an eloquent protest against the rapacity of the princes, a splendid tribute to the patriotism of the Americans. The genius of Mirabeau could look far enough into the future to recognize in the North American continent an asylum for the oppressed of all nations. His blow at the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel struck home. Not only did the latter attempt to buy up the edition of the pamphlet, but he caused an answer to be published, which only had the effect of calling forth a rejoinder, in which the future tribune maintains that an offense against the freedom of nations is the greatest of crimes. In the same spirit wrote Abbe Raynal and others, some of them better known in Europe, at that time, than Mirabeau, and against them a paper warfare was kept up in the Dutch journals, then the most influential, because the freest, on the Continent. In the public library at Cassel is an interesting little pamphlet published in 1782 in French, and also in German. This pamphlet is attributed by Kapp to Schlieffen, the Minister of Landgrave Frederick II; but I do not know on what authority. The writer pointed out such novel facts as that men had in all ages slaughtered each other, that the Swiss had long been in the habit of fighting as mercenaries, that the ten thousand Greeks under Xenophon did the same, and he considered it unjust to blame his contemporaries for what seemed to be a natural instinct of mankind. He noticed that the present letting-out of troops by Hesse was perhaps the tenth occasion of the sort since the beginning of the century. He showed the benefits which the Landgrave had bestowed on his country, and the affection in which he was held by his people. He drew attention - and this was, perhaps, his best argument - to the fact that the Landgrave of Hesse and the Duke of Brunswick were so nearly connected with the English royal family that their descendants might be one day called to the throne of Great Britain (This argument was not mentioned in the British Parliament, where it might, perhaps, have ben received with derision.) As for the boasted Liberty of the Americans, she was but a deceitful siren, for all history proved that republican governments were as tyrannical and cruel as monarchies. [19]

1782 - Benjamin Harrison was Lieutenant Colonel of the 4th Battalion of the Militia of Westmoreland County, Penn.; number of men., 123. [20]

December 31, 1791: Empress Catherine issued a decree that restricted the right of residence of Russian Jews.[21]

December 31, 1862: President Abraham Lincoln signed an act admitting West Virginia to the Union.[22]



December 31, 1864



Have fortified the position and built cabins for winter quarters. Health of the regiment excellent, supply of clothing moderate, ordnance and ordnance stores of good quality and in excellent condition. Arms, Springfield muskets, been in use five months. Distance marched, since last muster, 100 miles.[23]



At 4 o’clock p.m. after writing the above remarks, the regiment was ordered to Winchester, Virginia[24] and have just been mustered near that place in the midst of a snowstorm. [25] [26]







December 31, 1867: Sarah was born in Pennsylvania in 1813 and died in Washington County, Iowa, on 31 December (December 31) 1867, age 54 years 7 months 8 days. Sarah may have been a widow when she married John (Godlove)[27]



• December 31, 1935: Jews are dismissed from the civil service in Germany.[28]



December 31, 1903:



Convoy 19, August 14, 1942



We found a total of 1,015 deportees in Convoy 19. The men were in a slight majority. The largest age grouop for the men is between 43 and 64; for the women, between 39 and 64. There were more than 100 children under. 16.



Adolph Gottlieb born December 2, 1919 from Austria and Sidonie Gottlieb, born December 31, 1903 also of Austria were on board Convoy 19.[29]



The list is almost impossible to decipher. All the family names are blurred. They are followed bgy first name, date and place of birth, profession and nationality. The listing is not alphabetical, and is composed of five sublists, four from camps in the unoccupied zone and one from Drancy.

1. Les Milles, 236 ).

2. Recebedou, 63 names.

3. Noe, 56 names.

4. Rivesaltes, 395 names. The places of birth are not indicated. There were no children. From this camp there were (among a few others) 279 Germans, 76 Poles, and 24 Austrians. They came from the convoy which had left Rivesalotes on August 11 for Drancy, carrying 400 internees: 163 women, 229 men, and 8 children.

5. Drancy, 238 names. Many were families from Paris.



Among the 991 persons listed according to nationality were 571 Germans; 219 POoles; 83 Austrians; 71 French; 11 Russians; 6 Czechs; and 29 undetermined.



On August 14, SS Heinrichsohn composed the usual telex to Eichmann in Berlin, the Inspector of Concentration Camps at Oranienburg, and the Commandant of Auschwitz. He informed the addressees that on that day, at 8:55 AM, train #901/14 left with 1,000 Jews from the station at Drancy for Auschwitz, under the supervision of Feldwebel Kropp. A very important detail is indicated: Heinrichsohn states that “…for the first time, there are children (under 12)…”, (“darunter erstmalig kinder”).



Documents related to this convoy are XXVb-120 (of August 7), and XXVb-121 (of August 10.



Upon their arrival in Auschwitz, 115 men were selected for work (there were exactly 115 men between ages 18 and 42. All the others—at least 875 people, were immediately gassed. Neither woman nor child entered the camp. The 115 received numbers 59229 through 59343.



To the best of our knowledge, there was only one survivor from this convoy in 1945, Nathan Seroka.[30]



• December 31, 1942: Himmler orders that the extermination of the Jews of the General-gouvernment be completed by the end of the year. [1] Himmler sent a directive to SS Lieutenant-General Wilhelm Kruger, head of the German police forces in the General Government. The directive ordered "the resettlement of the entire Jewish population of the General Government be carried out and completed by December 31.The General Government was the term for the Nazi administration in occupied Poland. The order was issued "in the name of the New Order, security and cleanliness of the German Reich."[31]



December 31, 1942: On December 31, Knochen cabled Eichmann (XXVI-69) to the effect that the deportations would be resumed again in mid-February, without knowing the exact number of Jews to bwe affected by this measure. But on January 21, 1943, Knochen cabled Eichmann once more (XXVc-195). He asked him what the possibilities were for the transport of 1,200 Jews eligible for deportation. He indicated that 3,911 Jews were interned in Drancy, among them 2,159 Frenchmen. Finallly he asked; are French Jews eligible for deportation? [32]

In a message dated 12/23/2010 12:03:43 A.M. Central Standard Time,



Jeff,

for all of you who are obsessed with your blackberrys(ies?) and macs...now its our turn to laugh at you (or with you!) Jeff



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8Bfggcb308





Jeff, funny! Jeff





This Day…

• December 30, 39: A black day on the Jewish calendar; birthdate of Roman Emperor Titus the man who destroyed the Second Temple. The Arch of Titus commemorates the exile of the Israelites.[1]



• December 30, 1066: Granada massacre: Muslim mob stormed the royal palace in Granada, crucified Jewish vizier Joseph bin Naghrela and massacred most of Jewish population of the city. “More than 1,500 Jewish families, numbering 4,000 persons, fell in one day.”[2]



December 30,1665: Sabbetai Zvi, the famous or infamous "False Messiah" departed for Constantinople.[3]



1667

Andrew Harrison, Jr., was born circa 1667, and died in the fall of the year 1752. He married, as has been shown in previous pages, Elizabeth Battaile.[4]



1668: The Catholic Church kidnapped four Illuminati scientists and branded each one on the chest with a symbol of the cross to purge them of their sins and they executed them and through their bodies into the street as a warning to others to stop questioning their rulings on scientific matters. [5]



1669 Jews expelled from Oran (North Africa).[6]

1670 Jews expelled from Vienna, by Emperor Leopold I.[7]

1670

William Crawford was born about 1640 in Kilbirine, Ayrshire, Scotland. He married Naudaine Valentine in 1670. She was born in Delaware. He came to America from Lenarkshire, Ayshire, Scotland & Donegal, Ireland. [8]



William Crawford came to America with his brother George.[9]



December 30,1673: Birthdate of Ahmed III, the Ottoman Sultan who signed the peace treaty of Passarowitz between Austria and Turkey in 1718. According to the treaty, “Jews who were Turkish subjects were permitted to live and trade freely in Austria. Their position was thus more favorable than that of Jews who were Austrian subjects. In 1736, Diego d'*Aguilar founded the "Turkish community" in Vienna.[10]



1674

The next most prominent representative of the name, in the annals of ‘Ye Ancient Dominion ‘ is Major Lawrence Smith, who was designated by the Assembly in 1674, as the’ Chiefe Commander of a fort’ to be built near the falls of the Rappahannock River, and to be garrisoned by ‘one hundred and eleven men out of Gloucester County.[11]



On December 30, 1738, William Smithers of

Essex County, Virginia, conveyed to Charles Harrison, of Orange

County, Virginia, for five pounds currency, 26 acres of land in

Orange County, Virginia. Witnesses were Battaile Harrison, Andrew

Harrison, and Lawrence Harrison [12]



1739: Andrew, Battle, Charles, George and William all appear in 1739, and the first two with Lawrence in 1741. Andrew Harrison and his two sons --not named-- are mentioned October 25, 1744; the sons among others being allowed "26 pounds of tobacco" for patroling and guarding a prisoner. (Order Book, 1743-46, p. 224)[13]

1739-40; Jews expelled from Little Russia.[14]

Abt. 1740

William HARRISON b: ABT 1740 in Orange, Va.



William worked for and lived with John Vance as a surveyor apprentice.[15]



The presumption, suggestive of William Crawford participating in King George’s War, becomes more a reality when a study is made of four years prior to 1744. The Spanish War of 1740 developed between England and Spain, due to the Spanish pressure in Florida, including other troubles. The English colonies furnished about four thousand men for an expedition against the Spanish West Indies; the soldiers suffering from desease, starvation and brutality, only a few lived to return home. This will justify the idea, that the English colonies had abruptly, suffered a loss of man power.[16]
DECEMBER 30, 1776

Executive Committee to John Hancock
The Hessians are incumbered with a deal of Plunder & baggage which obliges them to move slow. We hope for another glorious Action & shall be happy to transmit you the account of it very soon. No doubt Sir Wm Howe Knight of the Bath & Genl. &c will be very angry at these doings in the Jerseys, and probably in his Wrath he will come over armed with vengeance & threaten destruction, but we expect he must dance to a different Tune upon this March than he did on his late passage to Trenton for we have the pleasure to assure you with certainty, that the Face of things is totally changed, our People are full of Spirits & turn out freely so that Genl. Washington will find himself daily gathering fresh Strength and we shall not be surprized if New Jersey turns out in like manner.
We are now at the 31st Decr. 12 oClock & have just recd. your Honors letter of the 27th enclosing Sundry Important Resolves of Congress Copies whereof we shall dispatch to General Washington in half an hour. Every part that relates to this Committee shall be carefully attended to and no time shall be lost in carrying into execution such things as Congress have ordered.
We had yesterday the pleasure to see the Hessian Prisoners paraded in Front Street. They formed a line of two Deep up & down Front Street from Market to Walnut Street, and most people seemed very angry they shou'd ever think of running away from such a Set of Vagabonds. We have advised that both the officers & men shou'd be well treated & kept from Conversing with disafected People as much as possible. One of our Light Horse brought down ten prisoners this Morning that were taken near Prince Town & appear to have been a reconitering party, and a Captn Smith writes from Crosswix that nine Hessian officers were taken & one killed in that quarter, supposed to be part of those that fled from Trentown. No farther Acct yet from Genl. Cadwallader. Troops are Constantly coming in & marching for the Jerseys so that every thing may reasonably be expected in our favour. Six of the Enemies Ships are still in Delaware Bay so stationed that Capt Biddle cannot pass them, the Fly & Musquito employed in Watching them & the Wasp Cruizing outside of them. We intend to send a person to stay at Cape May to give us regular advice of their Motions which we are much in Want of. We are much hurried but ever remain sir, Your Obedt & devoted hble servts.

1777
The Rev. Mr. Vance. , Berkeley Co. VA Rent Rolls, 1777[18]
1777
The Church of England was dis-established in Maryland in 1777. According to various histories of the colonial church, Daniel McKinnon was one of the ministers who returned to England. There is also speculation that he died
while at sea during this trip.

By 1777 the Hessian Jaegers had grown to about 1,000 men, including five foot companies and mounted chasseur company.

Despite their rifled weapons and European woodland experience, Hessian Jaegers did not prove as capable as American riflemen. This was partially attributable to their short-barreled rifles, the sights of which did not allow aiming as precisely as American longrifles. Additionally, the Jaeger rifle’s bore, of .60 caliber or greater, meant a heavier, slower ball, less forgiving of range estimation errors and a limited effective range of 200 yards or less. Background and mindset, too, favored the Americans, who’d grown up on the wild frontier as both superb shooters and adept backwoodsmen. As young boys, they had survivied Indian raids and as teenagers they had hunted for the family cookpot. Despite the skilled Jaegers being called “hunters, “ they were more Alpine game wardens than stalkers or sustenance hunters.

These differences were apparent when these riflemen were pitted against each other. General Washington’s aide-de-camp reported to the President of Congress “On Wednesday there was also a smart skirmish between a party of Colonel Hand’s riflemen, about two hundred and forty, and nearly the same number of Hessian [sharpshooters], in which the latter were put to rout. Our men buried ten of them on the field, and took two prisoners, one badly wounded. We sustained no other loss than having one lad wounded, supposed mortally. “

Another encounter, mentioned in a letter of Congressman William Smith, reported “Morgan’s [rifle] Corps [and about] an equal number of the yagiers had a Serious disput in View of both Armies, who both looked on without offering to assist. Morgan prevailed. When the enemy gave way our rifle men raised the war whoop which occasioned them to fly in the greatest confusion, tis Said they left near 100 on the field.”[19]
December 30, 1778: Winch, David, Lancaster, Col. Wade's regt. for service at Rhode Island; Capt. Belknap's co.; muster rolls sworn to at East Greenwich, September 28, November 10, and December 30, 1778; enlistment to expire January 1, 1779.[20]

Hello Jeffery,



Any word on a translation of the Abraham Baer Gottlober book?



Bill Nemoyten







Bill,



No luck as of yet. It is in Russian Yiddish, written in Hebrew. Apparently this is more difficult than I thought. I am told there are people who can do it, I just have not found them yet. Is this the only book that you know of in print? Jeff.

Jeff, To those passionate about truth (or the absence of it) in the never-ending Arab-Israel conflict, this one is a must…

Please keep this going. Thank you.

UNESCO decision about Rachel's tomb

PLEASE SIGN AND KEEP IT GOING

Hi ,

Please read the email below and if you are so inclined, click the link at
the bottom to add your name to the petition to halt the re-naming (and
historical erasing) of two of Judaism's most important historical and
religious sites into two Muslim sites. Then, if you are further moved,
please send this email far and wide to ensure more people have the
opportunity to be counted.

Thank you.


The United Nations has once again reared its anti-semitic head.

The Executive Board of UNESCO has declared 2 of Judaism's holiest sites
(Tomb of the Patriarchs and Tome of Rachel) to be mosques and demand
that Israel remove the sites from its National Heritage list.

(BTW, UNESCO is also same the UN organization which supports

anti-Semitic content in the schoolbooks of Palestinian children)


In an effort to erase Jewish history and supersede Jewish religious
sites with Islamic institutions, Muslims have intentionally built
mosques upon numerous synagogues and Jewish holy sites.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office decried the ludicrous nature
of the UNESCO decision:
"The attempt to detach the Nation of Israel from its heritage is absurd.
If the nearly 4,000-year-old burial sites of the Patriarchs and
Matriarchs of the Jewish Nation - Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca,
Rachel and Leah - are not part of its culture and tradition, then what is
a national cultural site?"

In cooperating with Arab efforts to erase Jewish historical ties to Israel ,
UNESCO is aiding and abetting those who hope to and obfuscate Israel 's
Jewish past and undermine Israel 's Jewish future.

Please take this seriously and sign the petition below, even if
you do not like these mass emails.


http://www.petitiononline.com/rabbiv/petition.html

Please also pass this on to as many people as
you can. Let our voices be heard.


Thanks

This Day…



December 29, 584 BCE (10 Tevet 3175): The Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, began his siege of Jerusalem leading to the destruction of the first Temple. This day is commemorated as one of the "minor" fasts, lasting from sunrise to sunset. Of course, the tenth of Tevet floats when it appears on the secular calendar.[1]



December 29, 1170: Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, is assassinated inside Canterbury Cathedral by followers of King Henry II. The reign of Henry II was a good period for the Jews of England.[2]



December 29, 1709: Birthdate of Empress Elizabeth of Russia. The daughter of Peter the Great was an enemy of the Jews. She reiterated and reinforced the decrees already in existence banning Jews from the Russian Empire. Despite requests from some of her advisors that Jewish merchants be allowed to visit the kingdom since it would enrich Russia, Elizabeth held firm. This is yet another example of Religious zeal over-ruling all other considerations. According to one account, at least 35,000 Jews were forced to leave Russia because of her. Her legacy was a Jew Free Russia – something that would not last because of Russian greed for the land of others.[3]



No. 20.—William CRAWFORD TO George WASHINGTON





SPRING GARDEN, December 29, 1773.



SIR:—Some people, about ten or twelve in number, have gone on your Chartier’s land within these few days; and there is no getting them off except by force of arms. They are encouraged by Major Ward, brother to Colonel Croghan, who claims the land, and says he has a grant of it from the Crown. He will indemnify them, if they will move in any house where no person is living. He also offers the land for sale, warranting the purchaser a lawful title. He further adds that Colonel Croghan says you and I have used his brother very ill, in pretending to buy his land and did not, but went and took the best of it, and would not agree to pay him. That was the reason offered for selling the land to any person who should choose to buy.

I think such proceedings as these, if not stopped, will soon bring the whole country to ruin. Those men have not bought of him, but took your land, and say they will keep it. I could drive them away, but they will come back immediately—as soon as my back is turned. The man I put on the land, they have driven away, and built a house so close to his that he can not get in at the door. -

Inclosed you have a faint draft, made by guess, of the way his land has been claimed and run, amid the way his deed from the Indians is : one in the fork of time two rivers, and one at the mouth of Sewickley [4] on Youghiogheny. The grant he makes so much noise about is the one on the Ohio amid Raccoon creek, first run by Captain William Thompson. The limits of his grant, as I have found since, by a copy of the whole three from Philadelphia, are as follows:

The line run by Mr. Campbell to the month of Peter’s creek[5] is over and above his grant; much more, the line run by Mr. Hooper to the Little Redstone, which is nearly four times as much as his Indian deed calls for. What pretention he can have for the other land I am at a loss to know. Your land is two miles and better from the utmost limits of his land, as you will see by the way it is laid down on the stream called Miller’s Run.[6]-

When Thompson run the land and made out the draft and delivered it to him, Colonel Croghan said it was not run right. Then he employed Mr. Campbell and told him that the river must be twisted up to the mouth of Peter’s creek, as that was the bounds of his lands. When Mr. Campbell had run the line as marked, and delivered the draft to him, Colonel Croghan said he had not run the land right ; he should have allowed him ten degrees for variation of the compass. Then he got Mr. Hooper and run this last line, as you see marked, He then employed Mr. Pentecost[7] to run thirty thousand acres on the head of Chartier’s creek and Cross creek. [8] This still left you out; but since then, Major Ward takes you and myself, and Lund Washington in, and says Colonel Croghan has a grant from the Crown for the land, and has given him that part, as low as the mouth of Wheeling.[9] He has had a surveyor laying off tracts of land till they have been stopped by the People. How he will proceed now I know not.

I can recover the land by law of this Province, or, at least, a great part of it; as it is as well improved as any in the country, where no person lives; but this will be costly and troublesome. I shall await your answer before I proceed; as probably, you may fall on some other way; as some late accounts from Philadelphia say the new prietary government has fallen through, and that the government is to remain in the hands of Lord Dunmore; which I hope will put us on a better footing than we are likely to be under the present state of matters.

When Lord Dunmore was at my house he gave me the promise he would intercede for a district of surveying out the Ohio for me; and now he will have it in his power, if he pleases to give me one, and I have written to him on that head. I should be glad if you would help me in that; as it is, or will be, in your power so to do should matters fall in that channel. Should I get anything of the sort, I should be glad to have one adjoining me, as it would be near me and suit me much the best. Under the present circumstances, what lies between me and the surveys I have made, will not be much; all the land worth anything is already surveyed. - But if you can do anything for me, pray do; as it will then be in my power to be of service to you, and myself too, and our friends.

You probably may get your land on Chartier’s creek patented; that would put an end to further trouble; but this I will leave to your own judgment. I am, etc.[10]





In 1773 Washington placed an ad in The Pennsylvania Gazette offering 20,000 acres of his land on the Ohio and Great Kanawha for lease to people willing to clear and till it.

• We had yesterday the pleasure to see the Hessian Prisoners paraded in Front Street. They formed a line of two Deep up & down Front Street from Market to Walnut Street, and most people seemed very angry they shou'd ever think of running away from such a Set of Vagabonds. We have advised that both the officers & men shou'd be well treated & kept from Conversing with disafected People as much as possible. One of our Light Horse brought down ten prisoners this Morning that were taken near Prince Town & appear to have been a reconitering party, and a Captn Smith writes from Crosswix that nine Hessian officers were taken & one killed in that quarter, supposed to be part of those that fled from Trentown. No farther Acct yet from Genl. Cadwallader. Troops are Constantly coming in & marching for the Jerseys so that every thing may reasonably be expected in our favour. Six of the Enemies Ships are still in Delaware Bay so stationed that Capt Biddle cannot pass them, the Fly & Musquito employed in Watching them & the Wasp Cruizing outside of them. We intend to send a person to stay at Cape May to give us regular advice of their Motions which we are much in Want of. We are much hurried but ever remain sir, Your Obedt & devoted hble servts.

MOORE TO IRVINE.





IN Council, December 29, 1781.

Sir:—Our assembly rose last night, having spent most of their time about a contested election; and, I am sorry to add, have done but little in regard to supplies for carrying on the war this year. However, they have adjourned to the second Monday in February, when, I hope, their attention will be turned from party disputes to the public service.

I have sent; you under care of Messrs. Meason and Proctor, representatives for Westmoreland and Washington counties, the sum of five hundred pounds, specie, for the purpose of recruiting the Pennsylvania troops under your command.[23] Nine pounds specie are allowed for each recruit, to serve dur­ing the war, now raising here; six pounds specie are allowed to each recruit to be raised in the ranging companies, to serve during the war. The council repose confidence in you to raise the men on the best terms you can; and when this money is expended, your orders on us will be met with due honor, for any number of recruits you may engage.

The gentlemen are just going off, and I have only time to add that I wish you health and happiness, and success in the recruiting business.[24]



December 29, 1781:

‘The following is an extract from the proceedings of the supreme executive council of Pennsylvania:

“IN COUNCIL, PHILADELPHIA, Saturday, December 29, 1781.

“An order was drawn on the treasurer in favor of John Proctor and Isaac Meason, Esquires, for the sum of five hundred pounds specie, to be forwarded to Brigadier General Irvine, for the purpose of recruiting the regiment sta­tioned at Fort Pitt for the defense of the western frontiers, for which he is to account.”[25]

The action continued one hour and 55 minutes, in which time the Java was made a complete wreck, having her bowspirit, and every mast and spar shot our her.” Like Guerriere, Java had to be destroyed at sea. This time, Capt William Bainbridge was the hero who took the prize.[26]

Abt 1820

“Nearly sixty years ago, I helped to survey all the islands in the Mississippi River from the mouth of the Des Moines River to the mouth of the Illinois. In my early days, I crossed the Alleghany Mountains twelve times on horseback. ”[35]



My first vote was for Monroe in 1820, at his second election, when he received the intire vote of the Electoral College, less one.[36]





1820: Despite the moderate success and freedoms enjoyed by many American Jews, by 1820 the Jewish population of the United States had reached only 4,000. The overwhelming majority of Jews chose to remain in European communities where they could be assured of the resources necessary for living a religious Jewish life, and travel to the United Sates from the interior of the European continent was difficult and expensive in any case.[37]



1820: Images of the Promised Land remain central to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), the Christian-like religion founded in 1820 by Joseph Smith, who had been a Methodist farmer. Smith claimed that God had carved the religion’s seminal text, The Book of Mormon, on gold tablets, which he found at God’s direction but which then mysteriously disappeared. According to LDS theology, after the Tower of Babel was destroyed, the brother of Jared led his people to the land “where never had man been,” which Smith maintained was the Americas. Around 600 BCE shortly before the Assyrians began dismembering the northern kingdom, a wealthy Hebrew merchant from the northern tribe of Menasseh named Lehi fled with his friend Ishmael and their families south, into the Arabian Peninsula, until they reached a fertile coastal region called Bountiful. They soon built a ship and sailed across the eastern oceans to the Americas, where Lehi’s son Nephi and Laman, were said to have founded rival tribes: the Newphites and Lamanites. After centuries of peaceful coexistence, the Lamanites turned on their sibling nation, all but wiping them out.



The former Mormon bishop Simon Southerton, a devout believer but also an Australian molecular biologist, quit the church over the dispute and after his research found no evidence that “supported migration of Jewish people before Columbus.” “The truth,” he wrote, is that “there is no reliable scientific evidence supporting migrations from the Middle East to the New World.”[38]

William Tecumseh Sherman was born in Lancaster, Ohio.[39]

December 29, 1862: Dr. William McKinnon Goodlove (1st cousin, 3 times removed) and the 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Chickasaw Bluff December 29.[41]





Convoy 5, June 28, 1942



On board convoy 5 was Chaim Gotlib, born December 29, 1900 from Mordi, France. His nationality is indicated as Polish.[42]



This convoy left from Beaune-la-Roland. It was composed mainly of Jews from the Greater Paris area, arrested during the operations of May and August, 1941.



Among the 965 persons whom the Germans listed according to nationality were: 752 Poles; 53 French; 41 Czechs; 12 Romanians,; 10 Austrians; 6 Russians; 3 Germans; 2 Dutch; 2 Belgians; 10 stateless; and 73 undetermined.



There were 1004 men and 34 women, as indicated in the telex dated June 29 (XXVb-102) addressed by the Kommando of the SiPo-SD of Orleans to the anti-Jewish section of the Paris Gestapo. This document states further that : 34 Jewish women and 73 Jewish men were arrested in the Orleans region by the French police in order to fill the quota; the Prefect Martin-Sane took steps in favor of the French Jews; and Dr. Cremieux, form Paris, was part of this convoy which left Beaun-la-Roland at 5:20 AM.



Ten days earlier, on June 19, this departure time was indicated in the document #XXVI-35, which noted that the train would stop at Pithiviers at 6:08 to 6:15 AM.



The routine telex to Berlin, Oranienburg and Auschwitz was sent on June 28. Composed by SS Ahnert, it was signed by Dannecker, the head of the anti-Jewish section , who stated that the head of the convoy was Lieut. Kleinschmidt.



Other documents concerning this convoy are XXVb-36, 37, and 38 of June 17 and 18 (see also Convoysw 3 and 4).



The list has not deteriorated with time. It is arranged as follow:



1) List of the 34 Jewish women, the majority from Orleans, Blois andBorges. Twenty-three of the 34 are French. The oldest was 47; three of them were barely sixteen; and youngest, Jeannin Stickgold, was a schoolgirl of 15, leaving with her mother, Celine. Both were French, born in Paris.

2) “Sonderaktion” list (June 25, 1942). This “special action” specifies the arrest, in the Orleans region, of the 34 Jewish women and 30 Jewish men who together comprise this second list. One name, the 29th is crossed out: Ziffer, Adolphe, born May 5, 1904, in Belsetz, Polish, a painter, living in Paris, 5 Burenton Street, married, one child. Next to this name, it says in German, “Tot bei Fluchversuch,” or “perished while attempting to escape.” In fact, it has been verified that Ziffer survived.

The names are listed alphabetically. Some of the thiry men were the husbands of the deported women. The oldest was 58; the youngest, Bernard Jedwab, was 16. He was French, as were 15 others from this group.



3) List of 43 Jews, also arrest in the Orleans region. There were several fathers with the adolescent sons. The youngest, Maurice Cytrynowiez, was 15 years old; hes breother Guy was 17. Both were born in Paris.

4) List of 932 men departing from Beaune. They are listed alphabetically and include 68 names (the last 68) which were crossed out. Details include: camp number in Beaune, family name, first name, jplace and date of birth, family status, profession, nationality and residence.



Some 800 of the men on this list were between ages 32 and 42. [43]



There were 16 adolescents in this convoy. There were 9 boys and seven girls, all between the ages of 15 and 18.[44]



August 6-December 29, 1942

How wonderful it would be, if we knew more in detailed explanation, of this couple and their two little sons. Moses being the eldest, would be five years old in 1770. At an early age, which may have been about this time, Moses met with an accident. He was left with a handicap the rest of his life. He was unable to participate in the military affairs, as his father and grandfather. Seemingly, his grandfather, Col. WilliamCrawford, made an effort to prepare for him, a future with an education and sufficiaent provisions to offset this handicap.

Good afternoon Jeffery;

Earl was not a Mason. I did talk with his son Willard, an active member of Level Lodge No 284, Central City, IA.

Hope this helps.

Karen, Thank you for all of your help. It is greatly appreciated. I look forward to visiting the Lodge where my grandfather was a member. I was also wondering if you might know if my gg grandfather William Harrison Goodlove or my ggg grandfather Conrad Goodlove was a Mason? Jeff Goodlove



This Day…



December 28, 1235: A ritual murder massacre at Fulda resulted in the death of 32 Jews. The Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire established an investigation at Hagenau (located in modern Alsac) to confirm or disprove the charges. After hearing various experts he declared that since Jews are prohibited from eating animal blood, they would surely be banned from using human blood. He forbade anyone from accusing Jews of this charge.[1]



December 28, 1703: Mustafa II, Ottoman Sultan passed away. During his reign, the Turks conquered Belgrade and the Jews returned to the city. Mustafa continue the practice of his predecessors and employed Jews a court physicians including Doctor Tobias Cohen and Doctor Israel Koenigland.[2]

Alexander Vance2,Andrew1, was born in 1732. He died in 1756 when he and his wife were killed by Indians. Nothing of their children is known. [4]



In 1756 a chief of the MacKinnon clan died in the Tower of London after the defeat at Culloden Moor. Clan Seat: Strathardal in Skye.[5]



December 28, 1764

Richard Stephenson of the foregoing will, may have discovered the inevitable death knell as he began making his final arrangements, before March 21st, 1765. Three days after Christmas, in December of 1764, he deeded to his son, Richard Stephenson, Jr., a tract of land, which is recorded in Frederick County Court of Virginia. The witnesses were: John Slayton, William Crawford, Joseph Beeler, William McCormick and Hugh Stephenson. The will of Richard Stephenson, Jr., is recorded in present Berkely County, West Virginia, therefore the land deed to him by his father, may be located in that area. (Berkeley County was once a part of old Frederick County, Virginia).[6]





1765

Crawford had explored this land prior to 1765 because on Page 522 of the Fayette County History Book it states, “In that affidavit he (Crawford) says he began his improvements in the Yougheogheny in the fall of 1765; and moved his family to his new home in 1766.” The patent for his land was not issued until 1769. For some reason best known to himself, he did not take it out in his own name but caused it to be issued to his son, John. Again I believe the explanation for this is explained in the “deal with Washington” explained in a future chapter. [7]



One of Connellsville's First Veterans

The first white man in what is now Connellsville was William Crawford. He was a farmer/surveyor/soldier who was a friend of George Washington and had served with him in the Virginia militia. In the fall of 1765, he came over the mountains on horseback with his half-brother Hugh Stephenson. When they saw the beautiful meadow lands in the bend of the Youghiogheny River, Crawford decided to build his home there. The two men surveyed a tract of little over 376 acres and put up a log cabin. The next year, he moved his family into the cabin after a very hazardous trip over the mountains. Hannah, his wife, and their four children, had to follow what was little better than a path that was exceedingly rough and dangerous in places. As they had just pack-horses to carry their possessions, only the essentials could be brought along.[8]



1765 William Crawford begins improvements on lands in western Pennsylvania. Son James was born to Ann Connell.[9]



“That between that time (1758) and the year 1765, a number of settlements were made on the public roads I that country by permission of several commanding officers at Fort Pitt. That in the fall of the year, he made some improvements on the west side of the Allegheny mountains…”[10]



1765[11]

Lyman Draper obtained statements[12] that are useful to this study. Samuel Murphy was reared in the home of William Crawford’s half-brother, John Stephenson. Samuel Murphy remembered that John Stephenson, William Crawford, and the brothers Lawrence Harrison and Charles Harrison, crossed the mountains at the same time. William Crawford later deposedt[13] that he made homestead improvements on Youghiogheny in 1765, and that he brought his family there in the spring of the following year.[14] [15]



1765

The chief and his clan were, however, impoverished through confiscation and expenditure in the Stuart cause, and in 1765 the little property left to them was purchased by a scion of the house of Macdonald.[16]

1765

Stamp Act passed; riots occur in Boston and other cities.[20]

DECEMBER 28, 1776

We cannot avoid mentioning that we dont think it adviseable to exchange your Hessian Prisoners at this time. We think their Capture affords a favourable opportunity of making them acquainted with the Situation & Circumstances of many of their Country men who came here without a farthing of property & have by care & industry acquired plentifull Fortunes which they have enjoyed in perfect Peace & tranquility until these Invaders have thought proper to disturb & destroy those possessions. It will be proper to seperate the Officers from the Men & to Canton the latter in the back Counties which may be done by the Council of Safety untill the Congress are Consulted thereon. Your Excellency will excuse us for troubling you with our Sentiments on these matters & we think it necessary to appologize for doing so as its probable the whole has occurred to yourself. We remain with perfect regard & Esteem, Your Excellencys most Obedt. & most hble servants, Robt Morris Geo Clymer Geo Walton[21]

“Fort PITT, December 28, 1777.



“DEAR CRAWFORD :—As I expect the pleasure of seeing you in a few days, I shall defer communicating a matter I much wish to set on foot, until that time.

“There are at Cuyahoga, about one hundred miles from here, a magazine of arms and provisions, sent from Detroit, and fifteen batteaux lie there. You may guess the rest.

“Yours, etc.,

December 28, 1778: The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania held a procession in honor of St. John the Evangelist Day[24] –Some three hundred Brethren marched to Christ Church[25] in Philadelphia to ceremonies in which “His Excellency our Illustrious Brother George Washington, Esq.” participated.[26]



As commander of the Revolutionary army, Washington attended the initiations of his officers into the Brotherhood. Inside his field tent the regimental drum became an alter. Upon it were laid the three great signs of Masonry, the Bible, the compass, and the square. Almost half of all the officers in the American Army became Masons. Masonic Jewels were worn like medals. But being a Mason was more than just conections, Pomp and Circumstance. The Brotherhood was a family away from home, whose lives had been uprooted by war. Masonry also provides the hope that if you fall into the hands of the enemy, you get better treatment. [27]



I suspect that ancestors Colonel William Crawford and Major William Harrison, both officers for George Washington, were also Freemasons. I hope to confirm this by contacting the Grand Lodge’s of Virginia and Ohio.

Zachariah Connell came here a few years later. (Connellsville, after 1770) For a time he lived with the Crawfords on the New Haven side but in 1778 moved over to the Connellsville side, taking up a tract embracing the old borough limits and designated in the survey as "Mud Island." His first cabin stood a short distance from the river banks but he later built a stone house in West Fairview Avenue and reside there until his death in August 13, 1813. His body is buried just east of the city limits, surrounded by graves of a few relatives.[28]



1778 *Capt. Robert Vance stated that William Lindsay was with him in the 13th and 9th VA regiments.[29]

1779 MAP OF THE EUROPEAN SETTLEMENTS IN NORTH AMERICA, [31]



In 1779, Col. John Bowman, commanding a force of 160 men, crossed the Ohio at the mouth of the Licking, and after a rapid march attacked the Indian town of Old Chillicothe, on the Little Miami. three miles north of Xenia. The attack was repulsed, and Col. Bowman capturing a sufficient number of ponies to mount his men, began a hurried retreat, being closely, pursued by the Indians until he recrossed the Ohio, having lost nine men in the expedition. In October of the same year, Col. David Rogers and Capt. Robert Benham, with 100 men, were passing down the Ohio, in two keel boats, and noticing Indians on the shores, Col. Rogers landed one-half his command for the purpose of attacking the savages. The whites were ambushed by about 500 Indians, a fierce battle ensued, but the odds were too great, and Rogers, with nearly all his men were tomahawked and scalped. Capt. Benham, with a few survivors, cut his way out and finally escaped, although the Captain was severely wounded and lay in the woods two days ere rescued by a passing boat.[32]

December 28, 1828

The Tennessee legislature again nominated 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.[34]



1829

At 19 Abraham Baer Gottlober remarried and moved to Podolia where, under the influence of Menahem Mendel Levin’s works, he began writing in Yiddish and in Hebrew. [35] He married again, but found his second wife unbearable and soon divorced her.[36]
