Dear Jeff, Greetings - In reading the " daily Goodlove production " I came across

the exchange with Pete concerning Matt. 6:9-13 .

Just as a friendly tip from one who " has been over the road "

Use only King James ( original ) version of the Bible . NOT a revised

King James, but the original.

I am well aware that many will laugh at that and say other versions

are just as good, and easier to read, and etc. etc. .... but 'taint so.



As Ever A. Bowdish





Al, Thanks for the tip! It is interesting how many versions of the Bible there are. Also, that when they found the Dead Sea Scrolls they were exactly word for word the same as they were in the current Torah. Now that is good editing! Jeff Goodlove



This Day…

March 10, 37: Roman Emperor Tiberius passed away at age 78. He followed Augustus to the throne and reigned from 14 through 37. His record in dealing with the Jews was a mixed one. On the one hand he over-ruled anti-Jewish edicts of Pontius Pilate, governor of Judea. At the same, he temporarily expelled all of the Jews from Rome when a Jew was falsely accused of defrauding a Roman matron.[1]

Tiberius (14-37 A.D.) who succeeded Augustus, was the son of his second wife, Livbia, but by a previous husband, so there was no blood link between them. [2]

Caligula (37-41 A.D. was a grandson of Augustus and was adopted as son by Tibreius. Caligula was a crazed megalomaniac who declared himself a “god,” married his sister Drusilla, and murdered countless senators and members of the Roman aristocracy. Caligula’s own palace guard assassinated him. [3]

March 10, 0298: The Roman Emperor Maximian concluded his campaign in North Africa against the Berbers, and made a triumphal entry into Carthage. The city of Carthage appears repeatedly throughout Roman history. According to some historians, when Carthage fell to the Romans after the Punic Wars, “many Carthaginians and Phoenicians converted to Judaism, because Jerusalem was the only remaining centre of West Semitic civilization.” They attribute the original Jewish settlements in Spain to the fact that Spain had been a Carthaginian colony and that these settlers were part of a group of these converts. The Berbers would also figure in Jewish history. In the 7th century, they would convert to Islam. In the 8th century, the Berbers were a major part of the Muslim force that drove the Christians out of Spain and created a comparatively hospitable for the Jewish people.[4]

By 300, the number had of Christians had exploded to more than 6 million. The attitude of the Romans toward Christianity inexorably evolved from persecution, to disdain, to tolerance, and ultimately to conversion.[5]

March 10, 418: Jews were excluded from holding public office in the Roman Empire.[6]

431: With regard to religion, we may note that, in A.D. 431, Palladius was sent from Rome as Primus Episcopus to the “Scotos in Christum credentes;” in A.D. 432, Patrick went to Ireland; in A. D. the British Bishop Ninian converted the Southern Picts; in A.D. 565, the Irish Presbyter, Columbus, converted the Northern Picts, and theirs was called the Culdee Church. [7]

The Emperors tried to preserve uniformity by summoning Ecumenical Councils, Councils to which all the bishops of Christendom were invited, in the hope that the Holy Ghost would descend on them as it had on the disciples at Pentecost. The Councils would descend on them as it had on the disciples at Pentecost. The Councils achieved unanimity only because dissident bishops either refused to vote or were prevented from voting. After each Council a section of Christendom broke away from the main body. The Arian heretics who seceded in the fourth century faded out in the East. But after the Council of Ephesus in 431 there was a separated Nestorian Church, which soon found its missionaries were to travel into India and into Tartary.[8]

March 10, 1452: Birthdate of Ferdinand II the Catholic, King of Aragon/Sicily who expelled the Jews from his realm.[9]

1452-1453: A major eruption that might have affected global climate was in 1452-1453 when records were much less complete.[10]

1453 Jews expelled from Breslau and Franconis.[11]

March 10, 1616: Vincent Fettmilch was hanged. Fettmilch lived at Frankfort on the Main (Germany). During a period of economic downturn (1612-1616), the ruling class blamed the problems on the Jews. They allowed anti-Semitic demagogues to attack the Jews. Fettmilch was the ring leader of the action that resulted in the destruction of the Jewish property in the ghetto. Jews fled for their lives. Without the Jews to blame, the powers that be feared the mobs would turn on them. So they hanged Fettmilch as a way of re-establishing law and order.[12]

March 10, 1772

The first substantial petition, requesting the formation of the future Westmoreland County, was presented to the Council by a considerable number of the inhavitants of Bedford County on the west side of the Laurel Hill on March 10, 1772, setting forth:



“That they labor under innumerable inconveniences and distressing difficulties by having their courts of justice held at Bedford, at so great a distance from them, (who have for the most part exposed their lives and fortunes to the greatest dangers in settling lands in the midst of the Indians) which, at the lowest computation, is upwards of fifty miles from any one inhabitant on this side of the said Laurel Hill, and upwards of an hundred to the most inhabited part of the said county, which distance, together with the extremebadness of roads, greatly increase the fees to sheriffs and other officers, to the ruin almost of many persons who are sued by common process of law for small sums of money; that as the petitioners are seated in the best inhabited part of said county on the west side of Laurel Hill, they hope to be able to build and support all public buildings necessary for a county town:

“Wherefore, they humbly pray the Honorable House would take the premises into consideration, and enable them, by alaw for that purpose, to hold a court of justice somewhere near the center of inhabitants on the west side of Laurel Hill aforesaid.”[17]

This deponent further saith that in the year 1752, and before his surrender to the French, there was a small Village Inhabited by the Delawares, on the South East side of the Allegheny River, in the neighborhood of that place, and that old Kittanning on the same side of the said River, was then Inhabited by the Delawares, that about one third of the Shawanese Inhabited Loggo Town, on the West Side of the Ohio, and tended Corn on the East Side of the . River—and the other part of the Nation lived on the Scioto River—That the Deputies of the Six Nations after the surrender Joined the Virginia Forces, Commanded by Cololonel George Washington, who was then on his march, at the Little Meadows, and continued with him, in the service of Virginia till after the defeat of Monsieur La Force, and a party of French Troops under his Command—And the deponent further saith, that subsequent to the defeat of Colo: Washington at the great Meadows, The Shawanese, Delawares, many of the Western “Tribes of Indians, and an inconsiderable number of Renegades of the Seneca Tribe, one of the Six Nations, Joined the French., and Prosecuted a War against the Frontiers of the States of Virginia, Maryland and Pensylvania, till the conclusion of the Peace with the Indians in the year 1759; but that he ever understood the Body of the Six Nations continued the firm Friends of the English—

The Deponent farther saith, that upon the Evacuation of Fort Duquesne by the French, on the approach of the Brittish Army in the year 1758, General Forbes by one of the deputy agents for Indian affairs, made a requisition to the Cheifs of the Six Nations for Permission to reestablish a Fort at the same place, for the purposes foresaid, and to prevent the French from returning, which was Granted, a Fort Executed and Garrisoned, which: continued in the possession of the British Troups til the year 1772, when it was evacuated by them and taken possession of by the Deponent, who occupied the same ‘till taken possession of by Major Connelly in 1774, with the Virginia Militia; that in the year 1759, General Stanwix called a Council of the Six Nations, Shawanese, Delawares & other western Indians, when the General by the Deputy Agent Inform’d the Indians Assembled that he was then going to erect a strong Fort, and asked the permission of the Six Nations, for that purpose, which was granted upon a promise of a fair and open Trade, and a reservation of the right of the Lands to the Six Nations, and that it should be abandoned at any time when required by them—after which and in the year 1762 several settlements were formed by Emigrants from the different parts of America, by Permission of the Commanding Officer, for the purpose of accomodating Travellers on the Public Roads That a Settlement and Improvement was formed about four miles above the Fort, on the South East side of the Allegeney River by Colo.

WASHINGTON TO JOHN WITHERSPOON.



MOUNT VERNON, March 10, 1784.

REVEREND SIR :—The recourse which I have had to my papers since I returned home, reminds me of a question which you asked me in. Philadelphia, respecting my lands to the westward of the Alleghany mountains; to which I was unprepared at that time to give a decided answer, either as to the quantity I had to let or the terms upon which I would lease them.

Upon examination, I find that I have patents under the sig­nature of Lord Dunmore (while he administered the govern­ment of this State) for about 30,000 acres, and surveys for about 10,000 more, patents for which were suspended by the disputes with Great Britain, which soon followed the return of the war­rants to the land-office.

Ten thousand acres of the above thirty [thousand] lie upon the Ohio; the rest on the Great Kenhawa, a river nearly as large, and quite as easy in its navigation, as the former. The whole of it is rich bottom land, beautifully situated on these rivers, and abounding plenteously in fish, wild-fowl, and game of all kinds.

The uppermost tract upon the Ohio (which I incline to lease), contains 2314 acres, and begins about four miles below the mouth of the Little Kenawha (there are two rivers bearing that name,[19] the uppermost of which is about one hundred and eighty miles below Fort Pitt by water), and has a front on the water of more than five miles. The next is eighteen miles lower down, and contains 2448 acres, with a front on the stream, and a large creek which empties into it, of four miles and upwards. Three miles below this again, on the same stream, and, just above what is called the Big Bend, in Evans’ Map, [20] is a third tract of 4395 acres, with a river front of more than five miles.

Then going to the Great Kenhawa, distant about twelve miles by land, but thirty odd to follow the meanders of the two rivers, and beginning within three miles of the mouth, I hold lands on the right and left of the river, and bounded thereby forty-eight miles and a half; all of which, being on the margin of the stream, and extending not more than from half a mile to a mile back, are, as has been observed before, rich, low grounds.

From this description of my lands, with the aid of Evans’ or Hutchin’s Map,[21] of that country, a good general knowledge of their situation may be obtained by those who incline to become adventurers in the settlement of them; but it may not be improper to observe further, that they were surveyed under the Royal Proclamation of 1763 (granting to each commissioned and on-commissioned officer, according to his rank, and to the pri­vate soldier certain quantities), and under a yet older proclama­tion from Mr. Dinwiddie, then lieutenant-governor of the colony, issued by the advice of his council to encourage and benefit the military adventurers of the year 1754, while the land-office was shutagainst all other applicants. It is not reasonable to sup­pose, therefore, that those who had the first choice, had five years allowed them to make it, and a large district to survey in, were inattentive either to the quality of the soil, or the advan­tages of situation.

But supposing no pre-eminence in quality, the title to these lands is indisputable; and, by lying on the south-east side of the Ohio, they are not subject to the claims of the Indians; consequently will be free from their disturbances, and from the dis­putes, in which the settlers on the north-west side (when the In­dians shall permit any) and even on the same side lower down will be involved; for it should seem that there is already loca­tion upon location, and scarce anything else talked of but land-jobbing and monopolies, before Congress have even settled the terms upon which the ceded lands arc to be obtained.

With sentiments of great esteem and respect, I am, etc.[22]

Since Rev. Ege was dealing with the entire Dodson family line between 1600 and 1907, it is easy to

Thurs. March 10, 1864 (William Harrison Goodlove Civil War Diary by Jeff Goodlove)

Clear and pleasant. Drilled once. Got

orders to march.[27] Had quite a play in the evening. Singing at night

March 10, 1864: On this day in 1864, President Abraham Lincoln signs a brief document officially promoting then-Major General Ulysses S. Grant to the rank of lieutenant general of the U.S. Army, tasking the future president with the job of leading all Union troops against the Confederate Army.

The rank of lieutenant general had not officially been used since 1798; at that time, President John Adams assigned the post to former President George Washington, in anticipation of a possible French invasion of the United States. One of Grant's predecessors in the Civil War, Winfield Scott, had briefly earned the rank, but the appointment was only temporary—really, use of the rank had been suspended after George Washington's death in 1799.

In 1862, Lincoln asked Congress to revive the rank of lieutenant general in order to distinguish between the general in charge of all Union forces and other generals of equal rank who served under him in the field. Congress also wanted to reinstate the rank of lieutenant general, but only if Lincoln gave the rank to Grant. Lincoln had other ideas.

Lincoln preferred to promote then-Commanding General Henry Wagner Halleck to lead the Union Army, which had been plagued by a string of ineffective leaders and terrible losses in battle. He was reluctant to promote Grant and risk boosting the general's popularity; at the time Washington was abuzz with rumors that many northern senators were considering nominating Grant instead of Lincoln at the 1864 Republican National Convention. After Grant publicly dismissed the idea of running for the presidency, Lincoln submitted to Congress' choice and agreed to give Grant the revived rank. As lieutenant general of the U.S. Army, Grant was answerable only to Lincoln. Well-respected by troops and civilians, Grant earned Lincoln's trust and went on to force the South's surrender in 1865.

Although Grant enjoyed a distinguished career in the military, he later wrote that he never consciously chose the life of a soldier. As a student at West Point, he never expected to graduate, let alone lead the entire U.S. Army in a desperate but ultimately successful struggle to preserve the Union.

In 1869, Grant became the 18th president of the United States.[28]

March 10, 2010: Thought for the day:



What is the big deal about the unique Goodlove DNA or otherwise known as the Y-chromosomal Aaron and the Cohen Modal Haplotype?



Biblical Origins!!



According to biblical accounts, after the Jewish exodus from Egypt, Moses' brother Aaron was selected as the first Cohen (priest, alt.: Kohain, Kohan, Cohen, Kohen, pl. "Kohanim" or "Cohanim"). The designation was also given to his sons, providing the basis for a firmly entrenched Jewish tradition in which a male Cohen bestows the status upon his children. A daughter of a Cohen can become a priest, but she cannot pass on the honor.



For several centuries, starting about 3,000 years ago when the First Temple of Jerusalem was built, the Cohanim played a leading role in the Jewish community. Today, rabbis have taken over as the teachers and authorities of Jewish religion and law. They acquire their place through religious training rather than through heredity.



The Cohanim still often play a special role in worship services, such as being the first to read from the Torah. They also may recite blessings at Jewish festivals.



Y-DNA and Cohanim ancestry



The Y chromosome also passes solely from father to son, exactly like the Cohen status. Scientific studies have found that the Cohanim indeed have some Y chromosome features distinct from other Jews, which supports the oral tradition of father-to-son transmission of priestly status. Moreover, the Cohanim are descendants of one man, and have a common set of genetic markers - a common haplotype - that of their common genetic ancestor, "Y-chromosomal Aaron".



With the help of mathematical models scientists estimate that this last common ancestor of the Cohanim lived at some time between 2,100 to 3,250 years ago - a time coinciding with the oral history describing Aaron and his descendant Cohanim.



For more than 90 percent of Cohanim today to share the same genetic markers after such a period of time is a testament to the devotion of the Cohanim wives over the years. Even a low of rate of infidelity would have dramatically lowered the percentage.



The Cohen Modal Haplotype is found among many Jewish populations of the world, including Ashkenazim, Sephardim, and the Bene Israel of India. [1]

[27] Overview of the Red River Campaign of 1864 (March. 10 to May 22, 1864.)

Because of the French threat (Maximilian in Mexico, Lincoln wanted military operations undertaken early in 1864 to raise the Federal flag over some part of Texas. Although Grant, Sherman, and Banks were opposed, a line of operations up the Red River was finally prescribed. (Halleck favored it.) Banks, as senior department commander (Gulf), was directed in January, 1864 to work our a joint operation with the other two department commanders, Sherman (Mississippi), and Frederick Steele (Arkansas).

As finally agreed, Banks was to move up Bayou Teche with 17000 troops and link up at Alexandria on March 17 with 10,000 Sherman would send up the Red river. Steele was to advance south from Little Rock with 15,000 and join Banks at Alexandria, Natchitoches, or Shreveport, as seemed best. (As it turned out, Steele was so late starting that he played no part in the operations.)

To oppose this concentric advance Kirby Smith had 30,000 troops in his Trans-Miss. Dept. that were divided into three equal groups: T. H. Holmes was near Camden, Ark.; Magruder was along the Tex. Coast; and Richard Taylor was in La. Taylor’s forces were disposed as follows: J. F. Walker’s division of three brigades and with three attached cavalry companies was located around Marksville, with covering forces in the direction of Simsport and 200 men detached to reinforce the artillery garrison of Fort De Russy. Mouton’s newly-created division of two brigades (Henry Gray and Polignac) was posted below Alexandrea when Taylor learned of the Federal advance. Vincent’s 2d La. Cav. Was on the Teche around Vermillionville, except for the three companies with Walker. The task force Sherman sent to Banks was composed of the division of J. A. Mower, W. F. Lynch, and T. Kilby Smith. A. J. Smith commanded this 10,000 man provisional organization, which is variously referred to in accounts as the “detachment from the Army of the Tennessee,” “XVI and XVII Corps, “ etc. It will be called A. J. Smith’s corps or command in the following narrative.

On March 10, A. J. Smith’s command embarked at Vicksburg and was escorted into the Red River by Admiral Porter with “the most formidable force that had ever been collected in western waters”: 13 ironclads and seven light draught gunboats (B.&L., IV, 362). After leaving Vicksburg Smith learned that bands had not departed on schedule, and also that the Red River was obstructed at Fort De Russy. (. H. Bringhurst and Frank Swigart, History of the Forty-Six country th Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry (Logansport, 1888, pp. 85-86) Franklin’s 15,000 infantry and artillery traversed an Arcadian countryside unique in it romantic beauty. The first part of the route lay alon Bayou Teche, with its deep placed water and graceful curves, winding throu level fields that before war came thick with sugar cane. Great live oaks and orange groves surrounded the mansions of planters who not too many months ago had been the lords of creation in their particular corner of the world.
