This Day…

May 6, 1313 BCE (1 Iyar 2448): According to tradition, this was the date of the first population survey of the Israelite people taken by Moses.[1]

1311 B.C.E.: Just as the lineage of the Kohanim spans more than 3,000 years, so does the Blessing that they deliver span Jewish history. The Blessing the Kohanim was instituted at the inauguration of the Tabernacle on the -first of the month of Nissan, 2449, (about 1311 B.C.E.). Since that time -the descendents of Aaron the Priest have recited that Blessing of the Kohanim daily somewhere in the world. This Blessing is a remnant of the Temple service that was never lost.

1305 BC: Canaan again falls under Egyptian control, as Pharaoh Sethos I retakes Beth Shean in the northern Jordan Valley. His conquest is commemorated there on a stela.[2]

1300 BC



• El, the Canaanite creator deity; The conical hat on this figure identifies it as El, the creator deity of the Canaanite pantheon. Canaanite religion included a complex family of human-like gods under El, the supreme patriarch. In stories of the Hebrew bible, the Israelites are often drawn to the Canaanite gods including El and his son Ba’al. The Israelites’ ultimate focus on the single Hebrew god is what gives them their unique religious identity. The Canaanite god El still appears in the Hebrew Bible. In Genisis for example, Abraham refers to god as El Elyon, or God the most high. God also appears to Abraham calling himself El Shaddai, or God Almighty. El comes to be used as a general term for god in the bible.[3]

•

1300 BC: The Canaanites specialize in international trade, marketing in particular the purple dye to which they owe their name.[4]

13th-12 centuries BCE: After 400 years of bondage, the Israelites were led to freedom by Moses who, according to the biblical narrative, was chosen by God to take his people out of Egypt and back to the Land of Israel promised to their forefathers (c. 13th-12th centuries BCE).

They wandered for 40 years in the Sinai desert, where they were forged into a nation and received the Torah (Pentateuch), which included the Ten Commandments and gave form and content to their monotheistic faith.

The exodus from Egypt (c.1300 BCE) left an indelible imprint on the national memory of the Jewish people and became a universal symbol of liberty and freedom. Every year Jews celebrate Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (Pentecost) and Succot (Feast of Tabernacles), commemorating events of that time.[1] [5]

c. 13th century BCE Exodus from Egypt: Moses leads Israelites from Egypt, followed by 40 years of wandering in the desert. Torah, including the Ten Commandments, received at Mount Sinai.

1300 BC: The patrilineal priestly tradition still exists, and has afforded geneticist another deep insight into Jewish history. Cohens and levites continue to carry out ceremonial roles in certain congreagations. Cohens are called first to the reading of the Torah in synagogue, and are asked on special occasions to bless the congregation. (The Cohen’s blessing, signaled by holding up the hand with a split between the middle and the ring fingers, is familiar to many non-Jews; it was adapted by Leonard Nimoy, who remembered seeing it as a boy in synagogue, as the Vulcan greeting for his role as Spock in Star Trek.)[6]

1300 BC: Oral tradition holds that all cohens, or cohanim, are descended from Aaron, the brother of Moses and the first high priest. The Jewish priesthood is thought to have been established some 3,300 years ago and to have passed from father to son ever since.[7]

Aaron
(c. 1400 BCE- c. 1277 BCE): Aaron was Mose's older brother. He was born in 2365 (of the Jewish calendar), three years before Moses, before the Pharaoh's edict requiring the death of male Hebrew children. [8]

When Moses grew up he sided with his oppressed brethren and fled Egypt. Sixty years later he returned and uttered the unforgettable cry, “Let my people go.” Ten times Pharaoh said no to Moses, and ten times Moses struck Egypt with catastrophic plagues ultimately killing all Egyptian first born males. [9]

Finally Pharaoh let the Israelites go but then changed his mind and pursued Moses and his followers to the edge of the sea. It looked like the Israelites were trapped. But then the impossible happened. The sea parted and the Israelites crossed to safety. Moses now led his followers to Mount Sinai. [10]

Aaron served as Moses's spokesman. As discussed above, Moses was not eloquent and had a speech impediment, so Aaron spoke for him (Ex. 4:10-16). Contrary to popular belief, it was Aaron, not Moses, who cast down the staff that became a snake before Pharaoh (Ex. 7:10-12). It was Aaron, not Moses, who held out his staff to trigger the first three plagues against Egypt (Ex. 7:19-20; Ex. 8:1-2 or 8:5-6; Ex. 8:12-13 or 8:16-17). According to Jewish tradition, it was also Aaron who performed the signs for the elders before they went to Pharaoh (Ex. 4:30). [1] [11]
The one thing that Jew’s Muslim’s and Christians agree on is that from a religious point of view there was a revelation on Mount Sinai to Moses. God dictated, God lectured, Moses wrote it down, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.[12]

Aaron, the peacemaker.

Aaron's most notable personal quality is that he was a peacemaker. His love of peace is proverbial; Rabbi Hillel said, "Be disciples of Aaron, loving peace and pursuing peace, loving people and drawing them near the Torah." According to tradition, when Aaron heard that two people were arguing, he would go to each of them and tell them how much the other regretted his actions, until the two people agreed to face each other as friends. [13]

Aaron and the Golden Calf

In fact, Aaron loved peace so much that he participated in the incident of the Golden Calf (Ex. 32), constructing the idol in order to prevent dissension among the people. Aaron intended to buy time until Moses returned from Mount Sinai (he was late, and the people were worried), to discourage the people by asking them to give up their precious jewelry in order to make the idol, and to teach them the error of their ways in time (Ex. 32:22). [14]

When Moses returned, in his fury, he not only destroyed the idol but also turned loose the Levites, the priestly tribe, on the people, and the Levites proceeded to slaughter three thousand of them. [15]

3500 years ago…Me Chamoecha is a 3,500 year old hymn of praise that our ancestors sang at the Red Sea thanking God for their deliverance.

ME CHAMOECHA- WHO IS LIKE THEE

Who is like thee glorified in holiness? You are awesome in praise, working wonders O Lord, who is like Thee O Lord?

Exodus 15:11[16]

May 6, 1255: The Vatican orders all copies of the Talmud to be destroyed by fire. Despite this edict, King Jaime (King James of Aragon) ordered that the Spanish Jews should remain unmolested. Unfortunately, the political pressure over successive years would prove to be too great, and on August 29, 1263 he announced Jews had three weeks to remove all blasphemy from their books.[17]

May 6, 1501: Birthdate of Pope Marcellus II who expelled the Jews from Rome.[18]

1502: Henry XIII father get tuberculosis, spreading it to his oldest son, who dies. Henry becomes first in line to the throne at age ten.[19]

May 6, 1716) "The Rector acquainting the Visitors and Governors that upon Mr. Jackson’s declining to teach the Indian children that he had appointed Mr. Christopher Smith (9th greatgranduncle) to succeed him in employment and that sd Christopher Smith is hereby approved of as a Master to that sd Indian *** and ordered that he have the same allowance of Sallary that was given to Mr. Jackson.” Mr Jackson was Christopher Jackson. Christopher was probably a teacher before that time. Mr Jackson was paid 50 pounds sterling. The grammar school also educated white children from Williamsburg.(May 6, 1716) On the petition of Christopher Smith, Master to the Indian Children Ord. that, on consideration that there are but few of them now at school, he be allowed 25 pounds per annum, that he have pasturage for his horse, firewood for his chamber and the liberty of teaching such English children as shall be put to him and that a partition be erected at the charge of the College to separate the said English children from the Indians. Masters and Visitors of the College of William and Mary. William and Mary Quarterly, v. 7, page. 235. Williamsburg students paid 20 shillings per annum to attend school.

Christopher's death is commonly given as 1716. William & Mary records indicate that he was not replaced as Indian Master until sometime in 1720 when Reverend Charles Griffin was hired. [20]





Tuesday May 6, 1760: George Washington’s Journal: Visited my Brother’s Quarter, & just calld at my own in my way to Winchester where I spent the day & Evening with Col. Byrd &ca.



The Court was held to Day at Stephen’s Town but adjournd to Winchester to Morrow.



Because of the smallpox epidemic in Frederick County, the county court was moved, by order of the governor July 3, 1759, to Stephensburg, “during the time the small pox rageth in the town of Winchester.” Stephensburg (later Newton, later Stephens City), founded by Lewis Stephens in 1758, was competing with Winchester to become the seat for Frederick County. By October 1759 the smallpox, according to a petition of the inhabitants of Winchester, “was raging at Stephensburg,” and the court did not meet at all until Feb. 1760 (NORRIS [1], 121--22). GW is here noting the court’s move back to its regular seat.[21]

Valentine Crawford to George Washington

JACOB’S CREEK, May 6, 1774.

DEAR COLONEL :—I am sorry to inform you that the disturbance between the white people and the Indians has prevented my going down the river; as all the gentlemen who went down are returned, and most of them have lost their baggage, as I wrote more particular in my other letter. I will refer you to my brother’s letter for the news.

I got my canoes and all my provisions ready, and should have set off in two or three days but for this eruption, which I believe was as much the white people’s fault as the Indians. It has almost ruined all the settlers over the Monongahela, as they run as bad as they did in the year 1756 and 1757, down in Frederick county.[23] There were more than one thousand people crossed the Monongahela in one day. I thought it, therefore; dangerous to go down with so much of your property, and so came to a resolution to send my son down to you to know what I must do with your servants and goods, and how I must act

with your hirelings.

As to the goods, I have stored them; and I went to Mr. Simpson-as soon as I came up, and offered him some of the carpenters and all the servants; but he refused taking them—the latter, for fear they would run away; he has, however, now agreed to take some of both: the carpenters to do the framing for the mill, and the servants to dig the race. Stephens[24] has agreed to quit, provided the Indians make peace, and you will employ him again. He has all his tools here, and it would be out of his power to get them back again, as he has no means of conveyance.

I am afraid I shall be obliged to build a fort until this eruption is over, which I am in hopes will not last long. I trust you will write me full instructions as to what I must do. Mr. Simpson, yesterday, seemed very much scared; but I cheered him up all I could. He and his laborers seemed to conclude to build a fort, if times grew any worse. I am building a kind of blockhouse myself; and have employed some of your carpenters to help me, which I will settle with you for. I have run you to as little cost as possible for provisions, as our journey is stopped; but if peace should be made soon, I shall provide more, as I have my canoes ready, unless you order me to the contrary when my son returns.

As you are largely bail for me, and kindly went my security to the sheriff, I have sent you a bill of sale of my land I live on for fear of accidents in war; as you are the last man in the world I should choose to be loser by me. In case 1 can not go down the river for you, if you should choose to sell the servants, my brother, William Crawford, wants two of them; but if there is the least chance of going, I am ready and willing to serve you to the best of my ability. I am, etc.[25]



May 6, 1780: Fort Moultrie in Charleston, South Carolina, falls to the British.[26]

COLONEL JOHN GIBSON TO CLARK, May 6, 1781.



[Draper MSS., 51J47.—A. L. S.J



DEAR GENERAL,



I reced yours of the 23d ulto not until the 3d inst which prevented my answering it sooner. since Col Brodheads return from the Indian Country, I waited on him and Shewed him Govenor Jeffersons letter, and told him that I Expected from that to join you with my regt down the river.[27] he informed me that his orders from the Commander in Chief was to form a Detachment from his and my Regts not to exceed a Majors or Capts Command to join you. I coud have wished you had Been here to have settled the matter with him, Before he went down the Country, But as he has promised to Call at Colo Crawford’s and deliver this I hope you will settle it Before you part.

I am now left here in command until farther orders may arrive and you may depend on my Exertions in every thing in my power, for promoting the Entended Expedition. I was sorry to find that the plan was made so public, on my arrival at this place, But I have endeavoured since to make them Believe that the Indian towns was the object. No person has yet offered in the way of raising Volunteers. Be assured, Dear Sir, it shall always be my study to render my self worthy of the esteem and good opinion that you and our worthy patron, Governor Jefferson have Concived for me, and shoud be glad to have the pleasure of seeing you here as soon as [possible] as I shoud think, in case Col° Brodhead[28] still refuses to let the regt go with you it woud Be necessary to send an Express immediately to the Commander in chief.

Please present my most respectful Compliments to the Gentlemen and Ladies of Stewarts Crossings.

I am, Dear General, with Singular Esteem and Regard, your most Obedient humble Servant

JN Gibson



FORT PITT May 6th 1781.

[Addressed:] Brigadier General Clarke at Stewarts Crossing, honoured by Col° Brodhead[29]



May 6, 1779: In reference to the loss of the Hessians at Trenton, Gen-

eral Cornwallis, when he was being examined at the bar of

the House of Commons, May 6, 1779, " declared that it had

been necessary for the general to extend his chain of canton-

ments to that distance, that he had himself indeed advised

it, and that the fatal accident that afterward happened was

not in human prudence to foresee, and therefore not to be

guarded against."



We have taken the following from the narrative of General

Howe : " Where could the Hessian troops have been better

employed than in the defense of a post. In the last war the

Hessian troops were esteemed not unequal to any troops in

King Ferdinand's army, two of these very battalions had

served in Germany with great credit, and the whole brigade

under Colonel Rail's command had given a recent proof of

their bravery at the attack of Fort Knyphausen." Search-

ing for a living man to censure, Howe selected Lieutenant-

General Leopold Philipp von Heister, because he had urged

the appointment of Colonel Rail to the command of that

Hessian brigade. General von Heister was recalled by the

Landgrave of Hesse, evidently in disgrace, left America June

22, 1777, and died at Cassel, November 19, 1777, at the age

of sixty-one years.



The records at Marburg tell us that on the day after the

surprise. General Grant wrote from Brunswick : " I did not

think that all the rebels in America would have taken that

brigade prisoners." [30]



May 6, 1801: In Madison County, Ohio, at London, in the original surveys, page 2, no. 1020, part of Military Warrant No. 22, on West Fork of Deer Creek, called for 1,000 acres to Uriah Springer.

Surveyed by Duncan McArthur

Frederick Zimmerman

Joseph Bowman, C. C.

Isaac M. Riley, M. May 6, 1801-March 4, 1802.[31]

Since Uriah Springer was the Power of Attorney for Moses Crawford, Sr. (Son of Lt. John Crawford and grandson of Col. William Crawford), this may have been the stretch of land Moses was entitled to. Probably was sold by Uriah Springer and the amount turned over to Moses Crawford, Sr., as part of his share. (See letter of Richard Crawford, written to his Uncle David Bradford).

Uriah Springer, (who was Power of Attorney to Moses Crawford’s share of Lt. John Crawford’s estate), had a son , Uriah Springer. The records of Brown County, Ohio, indicate that young Uriah Springer was collecting bounty lands belonging to his own father, (who was the second husband of Sarah, daughter of Col William Crawford). Uriah

Springer, Sr. ranked as a Captain. Here a transaction, involving Robert and Joseph Wardlow, concerning a United States patent. Pages 332, 333 and 334. Young Uriah Springer was a Justice of the Peace and he and his wife Nancy, lived at Williamsburg (which is in present Clermont County, Ohio). On East Fork of the Little Miami River, and where many of the early transactions were recorded. Note: the relationship between young Uriah springer and Moses Crawford, Sr., would be first cousins, since Moses’ father, John, was brother to young Uriah’s mother, Sarah.

At Circleville, Ohio, in Pickaway County (formed in 1810), Warrant no. 223, Uriah Springer, 700 acres. Surveyed about 1901 on no. 914 which no. belongs to Uriah Springer, St.

For his services in the American Revolutionary War, Uriah Springer, Sr., was entitled to about 4,000 acres of bounty lands. His warrants as follows and not to be confused with Crawford’s.

Warrant No. 222, Uriah Springer , 2,999 acres, Captain on the Va. Con’t Line, 3 years. Surveyed & dated April 1, 1783.

Warrant No. 223, Uriah Springer, 2,000 acres, Va. Con’t Line, 3 years. Surveyed April 1, 1783.

These surveys, like others are located in various places and in different sized plats.[32]







May 6, 1833: The first attempt to do bodily harm to a President was against ancestor and 2nd cousin 7 times removed, Andrew Jackson. Jackson ordered the dismissal of Robert B. Randolph from the Navy for embezzlement. On May 6, 1833, Jackson sailed on USS Cygnet to Fredericksburg, Virginia, where he was to lay the cornerstone on a monument near the grave of Mary Ball Washington, George Washington's mother. During a stopover near Alexandria, Virginia, Randolph appeared and struck the President. He then fled the scene with several members of Jackson's party chasing him, including the well known writer Washington Irving. Jackson decided not to press charges.[33]

1833, Daniel Sharp (husband of Mary Crawford) Richard Hooker of Jefferson County, OHio, Range 20, Township 15, (Violet Township) Section 36. Through which the C & O Railroad and new highway No. 33, now passes. Book V. page 386.

(Land owned in Fairfield County, Ohio)[34]



1833

Thomas Harrison Moore (1790-1842) of Harrison County, Kentucky, settled in Bastrop and Fayette counties, Texas, in 1833. He had migrated from Kentucky with

a group of related families which included his brother, John H. Moore, his cousin, Captain Nicholas Mosby Dawson, the Eastland family, and the McClures. [35]



1833

Noah Webster (1758-1843), the great lexicographer and originator of the dictionary that bears his name, revised the KJV in 1833.[36]





May 6, 1861: Arkansas secedes from the Union.[37]

In 1383, the city accepted sixteen more Jewish families on the recommendation of the counts d’ Oettingen, and issued on this occasion a new ordinance, which regulated the leagal and legal statute Jews. It prohibits, in particular, to the rabbinical court to pronounce sentences with regard to a Christian, and returned all the businesses between Juifs and Christians in front of the court of the Provost.
The same year, the city engaged a Jewish Doctor, Gutleben, for one six years duration. He was to exert his art on the middle class man and the civiles servant of the city. His wages werse of 50 guilders a year, and he could moreover, lend money to interest.[40]

I Get Email!



Hi Jeff,



I am very interested in the DNA project. However, I am female. I

kept my maiden name when I married. My family line is dying out. I

have one living, male, close family member and I have extreme doubts

as to his wanting to do a DNA test. He is unmarried with no children

and will likely remain so. I am related to all the Gutlebens in this

country except for one family in Ohio. However, my Gutlebens are on

the West coast and I am on the East coast. (There are 2 more Gutlebens

on this coast who migrated here from CA.) My father left the Bay Area,

CA out of highschool to join the Navy, retired here in VA and didn't

keep close contact. As I grew up, I always wondered if there were

others, so I began looking as soon as home computers became readily

available. I made contact with a long, lost cousin who, along with

her husband, was a hands on, professional genealogist. Between us, we

have a well documented tree. She actually went to France/Germany

several times. There was a Gutleben in Switzerland, originally from

the same Alsatian region, who was also part of the research. He was

searching for proof of the one missing link between our families. He

believed it was his grandmother's generation. Sadly, all of my

fellow researchers have passed away or disappeared.



I have an interesting article that I had translated from German to

English concerning the Jewish Gutlebens and name variations. It is

long and scholarly. I can copy and snailmail if you are interested.

It isn't entered into the computer, yet or I would email. The

Gutlebens were famous and well documented Drs/surgeons in medieval

Europe for 3 or 4 generations. They were special to Jewish history in

the Strasbourg region, hence the research and attention given them.

When most Jews were banished or burned around the time of the Black

Death (plague) they received permission, as the only Jews remaining

in the area, to attend the towns and royalty. They were from the

exact region that my Gutlebens were living in for centuries.



My US ancestor came over in the 1880s as a Lutheran Minister to the

German speakers on the Plains. He moved around a lot and ended up in

CA where most still reside. His direct line is proven back to 1700 in

the Colmar region, then Germany, Alsace Lorraine. There are few of

the same name in the same area and it is easy to assume the line back,

however the proof in actual documents no longer exists. I feel very

comfortable in assuming the line back to the Gottlieb/Gutlebens of

medieval times. The family tended to stay in the same valley and

marry into the same families. Once converted, they tended to be very

devout Christians. Johann is the most common name.



I will talk to my brother about the test, but I can almost guarantee

he won't do it. He has grave privacy concerns.



Send me your snailmail addy if you want a copy of the translated

paper. I'd be happy to send it.



I have more exact info but it isn't on my computer. I can send you a

few more pages you might be interested in.



As an aside, I was doing some searching last night and found reference

to a woman in Nebraska, from the same area of Europe, at the turn of

the century with the first name of Gottleiben. The pastor who married

her was my ancestor John Gutleben!

Alice,



Thank you for considering the DNA test for your brother. Any male direct line would work from your extended family. All of the DNA records are kept confidential. I hope your brother will consider this as an option. I can say there are others who are concerned about keeping their DNA information private. Perhaps if he visits the familytreedna.com website or nationalgeographic.com genographic project he will learn more about how this all works. As I said though, any male from your extended family male line would work. The test kit can be mailed directly to the individual and returned directly to the FamilyTreeDNA.com. I can help with this procedure.



I am very interested in the article you mentioned and any other history of the family that you have. At this point we have about 56 12 marker DNA matches. We are still connecting the dots through time. DNA gives us a starting point that tells us the who we share a common ancestor with.



There are others with a similar background as your families. Hopefully we can match some things up.



I will pay for any cost incurred, including the DNA test if that is an issue.



Interestingly, John is a common name to all the other similar surnames as well.



I look forward to hearing more about your progress. I am interested in the tree information, particularly the direct line going straight back.



Jeff Goodlove

[23] After Braddock’s defeat, there was a general uprising among the Western tribes of Indians against the English. Then, for the first time, the frontiers of Virginia experienced the horrors of savage warfare. The recollection of those times was still vivid, it seems, in the mind of Valentine Crawford, who then resided in Frederick (afterward Berkeley) county, now Jefferson county, West Virginia.

[27]Early in the spring, the Ohio Indians bcgan their depradations against the frontier settlements. The Delawares in the region of Coshocton were particularly active for they had declared for the British. Colonel Brodhead organized an expedition in April and proceeded against them. The Indian were surprised and defeated. The troops secured large quantities of store and then destroyed the town. See Craig, The Olden Tine, 388 el seq., to the correspondence of Colonel Brodhead on the reasons for this expedition.

[31] Since Uriah Springer was the Power of Attorney for Moses Crawford, Sr. (son of Lt. John Crawford and grandson of Col. William Crawford), this may have been the stretch of land Moses was entitled to. Probably was sold by Uriah Springer and the amount turned over to Moses Crawford, Sr., as part of his share.

Uriah Springer, (who was Power of Attorney to Moses Crawfored’s share of Lt. John Crawfor’s estate), had a son, Uriah Springer. The records of Brown County, Ohio, indicate that young Uriah Springer was collecting bounty lands belonging to his own father, (who was the second husband of Sarah, daughter of Col. William Crawford). Uriah Springer, Sr. randed as a Captain. Young Uriah Springer was a Justice of the Peace and he and his wife Nancy, lived at Williamsburg (which is in present Clermont Couynty, Ohio), on East Fork of the Little Miami River, and where many of the early transactions were recorded. Note: the relationship between young Uriah Springer and Moses Crawford, Sr., would be first cousins, since Moses and Moses Crawford, Sr., would be first cousins, since Moses father, John, was abrother to young Uriah’s mother, Sarah.
