Dear Jeff,
Shalom from the Holy City of Jerusalem. At the Presidential Conference here, I continue to meet with top officials, including the former head of the World Bank, the President of Israel, the Chief Justice of Israel's Supreme Court, and Natan Sharansky, the head of the World Zionist Organization and a former political prisoner of the Soviet Union.
The pressure Israel is under here is intense. From every side, the Jewish people are being pushed, threatened, prodded and encouraged to give up their nation's capital in the name of peace. President Obama's envoy, Dennis Ross, who is staying at the same hotel as I am, told the assembled crowd of leaders that rather than waiting for genuine moves toward peace from the terrorists who attack Jews almost daily, Israel should make concessions now in hopes that someday peace will come. It is the height of folly, and it is a direct attack on Bible prophecy. We must stand with Israel for the cause of a united Jerusalem now more than ever.
Modeh ani l'faneykha, melekh chai vekayam; rabbah emunatekha.
I thank you living and eternal King; great is your faithfulness.
Your ambassador to Jerusalem,
Dr. Michael Evans

• Sodom and Gemorah, fire from the sky. New discoveries archaeology, astrology and geology uncover evidence of literal fire from the sky in the form of an asteroid. The Bibil is sacred scripture to billions yet new breakthroughs in technology suggest that the fantastic tales and miracles have a basis in fact. One of the most compelling tales of all twenty four books of the old testament concerns two cities located by the dead sea. The Bible says that they are so wicked that God destroys them dramatically raining down fire and brimstone. Fire rains down from the sky and the entire plain is ultimately covered in this burnt remnant that erupted from the air.
Recent discoveries in astronomy and geology suggest that the story of Sodom’s fiery destruction may be more than just a moral parable. It may record an actual historic event.
It is probable that most myths are the subject of a probable event. In 2008 an artifact from ancient sumeria was translated for the first time and it seems to provide startling correlation to the story of Sodom.
On a small clay disc an ancient Sumerian astronomer recorded a strange site in the night skies. He indicates that the object is passing in front of stars at a high rate of speed. The clay transcription gives enough data that the speed and trajectory of the object can be traced backward leading to literal fire from the sky in the form of an asteroid. They believe based on the description on the tablet that the asteroid itself was about 1.25 kilometers diameter.[1]
If the information on the tablet is correct the impact would have been devastating. One hundred times more powerful than the worlds largest nuclear weapon. The fireball would have been more than 100 kilometers across. The resulting plume of flaming debree could have fallen for hundreds of miles. We would have had fire and brimstone in the area where fire and brimstone was supposed to have occurred.
In the book of Genesis, in the very first book of the Bible in Genesis chapter 18, it tells the story of a riteous man named Lot who moves his family to the bustling city of Sodom. In the book of Genesis God feels that the city of Sodom is so bad that God says that it must be destroyed. According to the Bible Gods wrath extends to all the cities nearby including Gomorra, Zoar, Admah, and Zeboiim. However God decides to save Lot if he can. God sends two angles disguized as men to visit Lot inside Sodom with a warning of the impending destruction. The men tell Lot he needs to get out. That he needs to get his daughters and wife and go out of town. They tell Lot that they are going to destroy this town. Lot is told to escape to the mountains and that one of the cities of the plane would be spared, the small town of Zoar. The angels give one last command, that they should not look back at the city. Lot and his family flee Sodom early in the morning, and as the sun rose fire fell from the sky. God destroyed the cities of the plain. The Bible says that Lot and his family fled to sanctuary in a cave above Zoar. After the destruction of Sodom and Gemorrah they believed that they were the last people on earth. And there the story ends.
In the story Lots wife does look back, and that is example of ideology or explanation of the pillars of salt that are found nearby.
For thousands of years the story of these cities was only found in pages of the Bible. In 1894 an archeological expedition uncovered suprizing support for the wrath of God. Under the floorstones of the Church of St. George lies an intricate map built sometime in the 6th century C.E. This beautiful work reveals the lay of the land showing Jerusalem, Jordon, the Dead See and in the Southeast corner an ancient name not seen anywhere else but the Bible, Zoar. It is the smallest of the Bibilical cities of the plain. The one city that God did not destroy. It was hard evidence that one of the Biblical cities existed. In fact the village exists to this day, known by its medieval name Safi. Also on the map was a partially obscured phrase written in Greek, “The sactuary of St. Lot or Holy Lot.” Perhaps this alludes to the sanctuary of Lot during the destruction of Sodom. Archeologist followed the trail that was laid out on the map which led directly to the ruins of an ancient church built in the seventh century C.E. The tiles in the church directly refer to the cave as the “Sancutary of Holy lot.” Archeologists also found one other fascinating detail. The Cave seams to match the describtion of Lots sanctuary outside the Lost city of Zoar.
Bab edh Dhra: The city that matches most closely to the city of Sodom is the city of Bab edh Dhra. 50 miles from Jerusalem in the Bronze age, Bab edh Dhra was an independent walled city. The city was surrounded by villages and agricultural land and was independent like a city state. Bab edh drah at its height was home to 1000 individuals. Bab edh drah also contains mass graves. The oldest graves date from about 3000 B.C.E.[2]
The ancient Sumerians were well versed in astronomy. The Sumerian Planasphere is a very sophisticated interetation of the nights sky. It was created by a professional astrologer who knew his trade. He was using instruments to measure angles. It indicates an object that was alien to their interpretation. The astrologer could not make out if it was a star or a planet. It could mean only one thing, an asteroid. The astrologer is standing in Southern Iraq. The object hit the Austrian Alps at a place called Kofels in the Austrian Valley. There is no crater because the asteroid exploded in an air burst. The object produced a massive plume that reverses back along the asterioids trajectory. The resulting fallout falls 1500 miles away from the blast site centered on the dead sea. There would be few survivors from a massive plume reentry centered on the the dead sea. [3]
After matching the night sky with the Planashere the date of the impact is June 29, 3123 B.C.
There is other evidence of a massive explosion. According to an ice core taken from a retreating glacier in Peru plants were found to have been frozen 5,200 years ago. There had been a massive climate collapse 5,200 years. After check with other ice cores it turns out that this had been a global event.
In Africa a lush and fertile area dried up to become the Sahara desert. In Chile formerly tropical area became covered with ice for millennia. In the middle east fertile regions turned into desert and civilizations collapsed.
An asteroid ¾ of a mile wide would have created a smoke plume that would have circled the globe blocked the sun for month causing a world wide climate collapse.
If this is all true we can now explain the destruction of Sodom and Gommorah. [4]
June 29, 1096: Crusaders massacred the Jews of Mehr. [5]
June 29, 1397: Birthdate of John II of Aragon who reigned from 1456 until his death in 1479. During John’s reign Conversos and Jews held positions of power and influence. John even employed a Jew as his personal physician. Within 13 years of his death, the Jews would be expelled from the Iberian Peninsula.[6]
1397
Both parties evidently came to an agreement again in regards to Gutleben’s employment, for in 1397 the Colmar magistrate agreed to give to the physician Master Johann each year 2 lib. Strassburg currency and for the current year and four loads of wood, wheras Gutleben was promised 6 lib. per year and four loads of wood besides. These appear to be untypical for our Vivelin/Gutleben; if he had looked for other employment at that time it would not be surprising.[7]
1397
This employment in Basel turned out to be the first time the Jewish physician was the only Israelite in the town except for his household, for in 1397 all other Jews, in fear of their lives, had fled from the city because of renewed accusations against them for poisoning wells.[8]
1398
In the following year the Basel magistrate complained that poor and rich no longer had a municipal physician available, although one was urgently needed. For this reason a contract was made with Master Gutleben the Jew to serve as a physician for ten years. Gutleben promised to serve the city while the magistrate promised to pay him 50 fl. salary per year, the same sum to which Gutleben and the Strassburg authorities had agree! As well as to protect as solid citizens Gutleben’s family and servants, who ate his bread; to practice usury, consequently, giving loans, was definitely not allowed. If other Jews, as in earlier times, would come to reside in the city again, Gutleben should participate in all their freedoms. Furthermore, should a Jewish guest appear in Basel in the future, Gutleben would be allowed to host, but he would not be allowed to give him quarter for the night. Finally, the city granted Gutleben the same legal rights of protection that were enjoyed by the other citizens.[9]
1398
Therefore, the newly appointed city physician Gutleben settled in the year 1398 in a house, well known to him, that belonged previously to Eberlin from Colmar, which again illustrates the close contact that Master Guleben must once have had to this fellow Jew and his family. But as to where the surgeon had lived in his first stay in Basel, apparently nothing more can be found.[10]

1398: Some believe that Prince Henry Sinclair whose descendents built the Roselan Chapel in Edinbouro, Scotland, learned about the North American plants that are found within its designs, in 1398 when he transported Templars and Bloodline Descendants to the new world. Prince Henry, of Scandinavian ancestry, is thought to have followed ancient Viking routes across the Atlantic.
A medieval account called Zeno’s Narrative, tells of European ships landing on the the coast of what is now Nova Scotia, a province in Eastern Canada. Zeno’s narrative also reported the curious spectical of tar bublling up from a spring, trickeling to the coast. We now know that the only place on the Atlantic Seaboard fitting this description lies near the modern day city of Stellarton, in Nova Scotia. [12]
In 1398 the land inland from the shores of Nova Scotia was home to the Micmac people who say a man came from the east on the backs of whales. The Sinclairs were Viking descendants, and one of Scotlands most famous families. The gained their prestige as being the direct servants of the King and Queen of Scotland. They were integral to the ruling of the nation. [13]
According to the bloodline theory about 100 religious refugees stayed on in the new world. They gradually worked their way up the coast to what is now known as Quebec. Among the artifacts found were masonry tools in charcoal. The radio carbon date of the charcoal were estimated to be within 1410 to 1670 A.D. The discovery has fueled the theory that the settlement was from Templars and bloodline descendants brought to the new world by Prince Henry Sinclair in 1398. [14] In that environment, some say Prince Henry became privy to the Templars most tightly held secret, that of the Holy Grail. Some say he was looking for a place to hide it when he left on a voyage in 1398. [15]

1400: By 1400 Cahokia was basically abandoned. What happened is a mystery. What is believed to have happened was a depletion of resources, cutting down all the trees to build all the wall and for making the thousands of houses and the firewood they needed every day for heating and cooking for thousands of people. Not just for Cahokia but for the hundreds of surrounding communities which were competing for resources.[17]

For more than a century befor the first printed English New Testament, Lollards fearlessly circulated portions of manuscript copies of the Scriptures, and in so doing frequently put themselves in harm;s way. Mamny were imprisoned, and some suffered martyrdom. In 1401, Henry IV and his Parliament issued the infamous stature De haeretico combuerndo (“concerning the burning of heretics”), The Suppressions of Heresy Act; all persons declared by an ercclesiastical court to be persistent heretics were to be burned, and all heretical books were to be destroyed. The intent was to destroy Lollardy.[20]
June 29, 1494: A fire broke out destroying part of Warsaw. The Jews were accused of setting the fire and attacked. King John I ordered them to leave the city and move to the "suburb" of Kazimierz, which became the first Polish ghetto. Jews were confined to the ghetto until 1868.[21]
June 29, 1654: In Cuenca, Spain, 57 Marranos were taken to the auto-da-fe. Ten were burnt to death. One of them, Balthasar Lopez, announced as he was taken to the stake "I don't believe in Christ even if you bind me." He had returned recently from Bayonne in order to persuade his nephew to return to Judaism when he was captured by the Inquisition.[22]
Saturday June 29, 1754
Captain Mackay and his South Carolinians arrive at Gist's plantation. With news of the French force being on the move, the officers have a conference "to consider what was most prudent and necessary to be done in the present situation of affairs."(George Washington) The officers decide to evacuate the plantation and retreat to the more defensible stockade at the Great Meadows. That afternoon the men begin their retreat. [23]
June 29, 1754 (Ancestor William Crawford was with GW.)
Coulon de Villiers’s force was an impressive one as it left Fort Duquesne on J une 29 and began its journey up the Monongahela River. Over a hundred canoes there were, each carrying ten men or more, plus considerable equipment and artillery. There were seven hundred soldiers and just over three hundred fifty Indians representing nine different tribes, their faces painted with blacks and browns and whites in savage designs.
All day they paddled upstream and finally made camp for the night or. a broad bank of the Monongahela’s west shore not very far below Redstone Creek where, in the morning, they expected to engage the English. Here. as most of the Indians watched curiously, the Jesuit priest who was chaplain of the expedition said a solemn Sunday Mass for the soldiers.
After the service was completed, the guards posted and the men remain ing had eaten and were settling down for the night, Captain Villiers callec all the chiefs together for a council. Though he knew precisely how he intended to conduct the campaign, he knew as well that it would please the chiefs and bind them and their warriors more firmly to him if he were to ask their advice and, where practicable and amenable to his own plans, follow it.
The chiefs were pleased indeed and the council continued far into the night, with Villiers gravely noting everything said and every idea proposed Spies had now brought in word that the Redstone storehouse was abandoned and in the morning (June 30) the whole flotilla was on the move again before the sun had risen. They quickly reached the Ohio Company’s storehouse and beached their canoes well up from the water. Villiers posted a sergeant’s guard to protect the boats and immediately ordered the pursuit march begun on Washington’s very evident trail.
The going was no easier for them than it had been for Washington and, when the first halt was called only a few miles from Redstone, the chaplain was so fatigued he declared he could not go farther and would return to the storehouse to wait there. Before leaving, however, he held another service for the entire body of men and absolved them of all their sins.
The march continued while scouts came and went with regularity in front of the army. On the first day of July (July 1) they had reached Gist’s settlement and, finding it abandoned, bivouacked there. Only the officers benefitted from the comfort of the quarters here. The remainder of the army and the Indians were out of doors and spent a miserable night engaged in the impossible task of trying to stay warm and dry through a droning. persistent rain which began just before midnight and did not cease untill daybreak.
They munched cold rations without pleasure in the light of dawn and then took up the march again, only to have the downpour begin anew before they had traveled more than a mile. They passed through the gorge of Laurel Hill and Villiers’s scouts came in to report excitedly that the
English were holding fast in the Great Meadows, only four miles ahead.
Here the French force paused and, while his men rested, Coulon de Villiers was guided by some Indians to the spot where his brother had been killed. His features were cold and grim as he stared through the rain at the bloated and scalpless remains of the bodies, including that of Jumonville de Villiers. To have heard of the deaths and scalpings had been bad enough, but to actually see the desecrated remains made him sick and he wished that he had not come. He had no tools with which to bury them in the rocky soil, so he merely said a brief prayer for the departed souls in general and his brother in particular and then returned through the continuing drizzle to his camp.
And then yesterday, when the dismal gray daylight filtered through the forest, the attack march was begun. Throughout the early morning hours he had been receiving continuous reports from his scouts. His battle plans had been relayed to his officers and now the whole expedition was reaching its climax.
At Fort Necessity, Washington and his men continued to strengthen their position as best they could. It was largely a futile effort. No attention was paid to Monakaduto’s advice that they make their stand on a hilltop, not here. In fact, so disgusted by such ridiculous defenses had the Indians become who were attached to them, that Monakaduto and the squaw-chief, Alequippa, deserted the English after conferring among themselves.
“Look around you,” Monakaduto said with a disparaging swing of his arm over the encampment. “Is this how we want to fight a war? The white chief, Washington, is a good-natured man, but he has no experience and will by no means take advice from us. He would rather drive us on to fight by his directions. He has laid at one place from one full moon to the other, yet has made no fortification at all except this little thing here on the meadow where he thinks the French will come up to him in an open field.” He shook his head angrily. “Why should we endanger ourselves and our people, when the French behave like cowards and the English like fools?”
Fort Necessity was not much. A simple square enclosure of upright logs reinforced by dirt heaped on both sides and having a trench no more than knee deep, it was located at the eastern end of an oval-shaped, east-west meadow with a small brook trickling through the middle. On the south side of the enclosure, and partially on the west, there was an embankment on the outside and a rifle-pit ditch had been dug inside this. Morale among the men was abysmal. Even the emergency reserve provisions had been used up now, and for days the army had been living on only the fresh meat of their dwindling herd of beef cattle. Artillery had been placed to command the approaches, but there was precious little cannon powder and
even less for their rifles. The entire English force had last night numbered four hundred five men, but during the night a number had deserted and others had fallen sick. By morning’s light only three hundred fifty men were able to stand and light.
Washington knew the French were coming closer, but when no attack came at dawn yesterday, he thought they would have yet another day to continue their improvements of Fort Necessity. Then, at ii A.M., a wounded scout supported by a companion had stumbled to the commander with the news that the French army was attacking. Within minutes the enemy force had broken from the forest and immediately the Indians with it began a screeching war cry and a ragged firing of their muskets. The range was far too great and the lead balls fell harmlessly.
Believing that the French, since they were far superior in force, would advance at them head on, Washington ordered his men to fall into rank in the meadow before the fort. While the Indians and some of the French soldiers at the far end of the meadow continued the yelling and inconsequential firing, Villiers had ordered the rest of his men to flank the little fort in the woods on both sides of it, approaching as near as possible without showing themselves. Here, on two heavily wooded hills, they took their positions — only sixty paces from the English on the one side, a hundred paces away on the other.
That a worse place for the construction of Fort Necessity could hardly have been chosen now became evident. From these two hills the French had the protection of trees and could shoot from above with a murderous crossfire and rake much of the interior of the fortification with their bullets. It was a predicament that dawned on the young commander with staggering impact and now he countermanded his initial order and had the entire force withdraw into the fortification and take cover as well as they could out of the crossfire.
The rain that had fallen all night stopped at dawn for an hour, then began to fall again and had continued ever since. Now it became a heavier downpour and the trench inside Fort Necessity became little more than a mucky, calf-deep quagmire. The light swivels still commanded the approaches to the fort, but now the French musket fire was coming so heavily from the two hills that there was no protection at all for the artillerymen and, for the most part, the big guns remained silent.
The firing from both sides became hot and deadly at those times when the rain slackened, then petered out to a ragged scattering of shots as the downpour increased. Late in the afternoon the rainfall became so hard that only occasional shots were heard but then, with the approach of evening, it eased up to no more than a fine drizzle and the shooting became very heavy again until darkness fell.
The bodies of the English soldiers, regulars and colonials alike, lay where they had fallen inside the fort. Twelve of George Washington’s volunteers lay dead in the muck, along with eighteen of Captain Mackay’s regulars. Seventy men with crippling bullet wounds crouched against the ramparts, moaning and weeping, almost two thirds of them from among the volunteers. Their situation was critical in the extreme. Desperately hungry, weakened by sickness and desertion, almost out of ammunition, their guns badly befouled and only two screw-rods on hand with which to clean them, total destruction seemed imminent.
To make it even worse, discipline was collapsing and some of the men had gotten into the remaining rum supply. Half of those not wounded were now drunk. They raised their cups in sarcastic gesture to any officer who approached them and said, “We who are about to die don’t salute you . . . we ask why in hell we are here?”
The situation was terrible and still degenerating, but Villiers did not know how badly off Washington’s army actually was. As darkness fell and ended a nine-hour battle with no cry for mercy having come from the fort, the French officer began to grow a little worried. His fears were compounded when a pair of Delawares rushed up to tell him that they had been scouting to the east and heard, far in the distance, the beating of drums and the firing of a cannon.
“The chiefs have sent us to tell you this,” said the spokesman. “We are further to tell you that we will continue to fight throughout the night, if that is your wish, but with the dawn we will leave.”
The Delawares walked away without waiting for a reply and Villiers reflected sourly on the situation. He didn’t know whether or not to believe the report of drums and cannon in the distance. Though he doubted it, it could possibly be true. If it was, his own army might be in jeopardy. Ammunition was falling short and there was even the possibility that the English might sally out of the fort in a body to attack.12
He called Le Mercier to him and they discussed the situation. Within minutes they had decided that the best course would be to send in a messenger under a flag of truce for capitulation talks with the English. The messenger was sent, and he advanced to Fort Necessity waving a large cloth attached to a pole and shouting at intervals, “Don’t shoot! I come unarmed to talk with your commander!”
Washington met him in front of the breastwork, not permitting him to see the interior nor the condition of his men. He considered the messenger :o be more of a spy sent to see how the English were faring than as a bona ~de deliverer of capitulation terms. He rejected the proposal in a peremp:ory manner and sent the Frenchman back.
The more he thought about what the man had said, however, the more
he began to wish he had been less hasty with his reply. If they continued the fight, it could only end in annihilation of the English. Did he have the right to threaten his men with sure death if it was not really necessary? As he was pondering this question, the messenger returned to the fort and called out again that he came unarmed to speak to the commander. This time Washington listened carefully.
“My commandant,” the messenger said nervously, “wishes that you will think again what will certainly befall you if you continue in this way. He asks that you send him an officer to discuss terms by which no more blood need be shed.”
There could be no further hesitation. He told the Frenchman to wait, stationed a guard with him and withdrew into the fort. Only two men in his whole army could speak French; one was a young ensign named Peroney, but he was disabled with a bullet hole through his calf muscle. The other was his own friend and companion from last winter’s wilderness journey, the recently promoted Dutchman, Captain Jacob van Braam. There could be no choice in the matter: van Braam would have to go.
The officer was gone for a long time — so long, in fact, that Washington began to fear it had all been just a ruse to diminish his officer strength. But then van Braam returned bearing with him the articles of capitulation being offered by Villiers. Washington summoned all his officers, and they huddled together, keeping a sputtering candle lighted only with difficulty, while van Braam interpreted the paper.
On the whole, the terms were most generous, although certain objections were made to some of them and these were changed. But now they were coming to a passage which van Braam knew would almost certainly cause Washington to reject the capitulation entirely, and so he carefully mistranslated so that the section assigning to Washington personally “. . . l’assassinat du Sieur de Jumonville . . .“ — the murder of Sieur de Jumonville — became, instead, the death of Sienr de Jumonville. The rest of the capitulation terms were quite acceptable and undoubtedly much more generous than they would have been had Villiers known the true nature of the English condition:
The commander and his men shall be permitted to march out of their fort with drums beating and the honors of war attending. They shall be permitted to carry with them one of their swivels and all other of their pro perty and baggage, cattle, arms and ammunition. They shall be protected against any insult from French or Indians. The prisoners taken in the affair of Jumonville shall be set free. Finally, two English officers shall remain as hostages for our safe return to Fort Duquesne.
Inwardly delighted to get off thus easily from what was certain disaster, all of the English officers signed the paper at just about midnight, including
Colonel Washington, who thereupon branded himself forever in French eves as the murderer of Jumonville. There was no little discussion regarding who was to remain behind as hostage, but at length the decision was made:
the two would be van Braam, since he understood French and might be able to learn something valuable to impart when — and if — he returned, and Lieutenant Robert Stobo, who accepted the appointment if not with pleasure, at least without evident fear.
Most of the rest of the night was spent in preparations for their departure, and in the early morning light of an overcast but rainless morning today, they filed out to the pitiful cadence of a single drummer. Already part of the capitulation terms had been broken. During the remainder of the night, under cover of the cease-fire order from both sides, the Indians had slipped into the adjoining cattle compound and slit the throats of those horses and beef cattle not already killed by the previous day’s shooting.
Now it was upon the unwounded men to carry the sick and wounded on their own backs and therefore leave behind much of the baggage they had intended taking. But the supposed withdrawal-with-honor turned into an ignominious retreat. The Indians heckled them incessantly and the heckling degenerated into plundering and threats to kill the remaining English and take their scalps — just as the bodies still within Fort Necessity were at this moment being scalped.
Nor was it just talk. There was hatred and murder in the eyes of the Indians, and abruptly they seized the medicine chest being carried by two privates and smashed it to bits. When two of the wounded men complained, they were killed by tomahawk blows, their scalps cut off immediately and then shaken in the faces of others. It was only with threats to withhold their presents that the angry Captain Villiers finally forced them to desist and the dismal march continued for the English.
Even then they managed to travel only three miles before exhaustion forced them to stop and make camp, fearful that at any moment the Indians might again swoop down on them and this time wipe out everyone. Washington dispatched two of his most able survivors to continue the remaining forty-nine miles to Will’s Creek Station and return with wagons for these men still here.
Men sprawled on the ground wherever they had taken their burdens from their backs. Washington himself was carrying a heavy load, and it was one that he could not put down, a load greater than anyone else’s; a spiritual load which threatened to engulf him. The sight of his suffering injured men being borne in defeat on the backs of their staggering comrades; the knowledge that so many of his men had been killed; the knowledge that he had been thoroughly defeated in his first major engagement; the knowledge that his failure could not help but cause further disastrous losses for the English throughout the frontier; the knowledge that now, beyond any doubt, those Indian tribes still vacillating in their allegiance would flock to the French; all these things and more made this the bleakest time of his entire life thus far.
Behind him, Villiers was returning in triumph to Fort Duquesne, having had only two men killed.

June 29, 1782
The day after the council I have mentioned, about fortywarriors, accompanied by Georgy Girty, came early in the morning around the house where I was. The squaws gave me up, I was sitting before the door of the house; they put a rope round my neck, tied my arms behind by back, stripped me naked, and blacked me in the usual manner. George Girty, as soon as I was tied, d—d (damned?) me, and said that I now should get what I had deserved many years. I was led away to a town distant about five miles, to which a messenger had been dispatched to desire them to prepare to receive me.
Arriving at this town, I was beaten with clubs and the pipe ends of their tomahawks, and was kept for some time tied to a tree before a house door. In the meanwhile the inhabitants set out to another town about two miles distant. Where I was to be burnt, and where I arrived about three o’clock in the afternoon.
Here also was a council house, part of it covered and part of it without a roof. In the part of it where no cover was, but only sides built up, there stood a post about sixteen feet in height, and in the middle of the house around the post, there were three piles of wood built about three feet high and four feet from the post.
Being brought to the post my arms were tied behind me, and the thoung or cord with which they were bound was fastened to the post; arope also was put about my neck, and tied to tpost about four feet above my head During the time they were tying me, piles of wood were kindled and began to flame.
Death by burning, which appeared to be now my fate, I had resolved to sutain with patience. The diving grace of God had made it less alarming to me; for on my way this day I had been greatly exercised in regard to my latter end. I knew myself to have been a regular member of the church, and to have sought repentance for my sins; but though I had often heard of the faith of assurance, had known nothing of it; but early this day, insantaneouly by a chang wrought upon me sudden and perceivable as lightning, an assurance of my peace made with God, sprung up in mind. The following words were the subject of my meditation “In peace thou shalt see God. Fear not those who can kill the body. In peace shalt thou depart.” I was on this occasion by a confidence in mind not to be resitied, fully assured of my salvation This being the case I was willing, satisfied and glad to die.
I was tied to the post, as I have already said, and the flame was now kindled. The day was clear, not a cloud to be seen. If there were clouds low on the horizon, the sides of the house prevented me from seeing them, but I heard no thunder, or observed any sign of approaching rain; just asz the fire of one pile began to blaze, the wind rose, from the time they began to kindle the fire and to tie me to the post, until the wind began to blow, was about fifteen minutes. The wind blew a hurricane, and rain followed in less than three minutes. The rain fell violent; and the fire, though it began to blaze considerably, was instantly extinguished. The rain lasted about a quarter of an hour.
When it was over the savages stood amazed, and were a long time silent;. At last one said, we will let him alone till morning, and take a whole day’s frolic in burning him. The syun at this time was about three hours high. It was agreed upon, and the rope about my neck was untied, and making me sit down, they began to dance around me. They continued dancing in this manner until eleven o’clock at night; in the meantime, beating, kicking and wounding me with their tomohawks and clubs.[27]
At last one of the warriors, the Half Moon, asked me if I was sleepy? I answered, yes The head warrior then chose out three warriors to take care of me. I was taken to block house; my arms were tied until the cord was hid in the flesh, they were tied in two places, round the wrist and above the elbows. A rope was fastened about my neck and tied to a beam of the house, but permitting me to lie down on a board. The three warriors were constantly harassing and troubling me, saying, “How will you lide to eat fire tomorrow—you will kill no more Indians now.”[28]

June 29, 1805 “Francis Cutliff,” age 61, made a deposition in Winchester in the case of Walter Crockett of Wythe v. Gordon Cloyd and others, O. S. 33: N. S. 11.[30]
June 29, 1805
Here is something that is not indexed in reference to Gotlieb in Chalkley's
Chronicles but is in the book:
Volume II, page 73:
"Walter Crockett of Wythe vs. Gordon Cloyd and others----O.S. 33; N.S.
11---Bill filed 9th July, 1778. ...Depositions in Winchester, June 29, 1805.
. . . Conrad Cutliff aged 19 (Gotlieb?). Francis Cutliff aged 61."
I am wondering why James, the youngest son of Abraham (b. abt. 1803) and Sally (Dorsey) Cutlip used the name Cutliff on his marriage record, both for himself and his father. EHB[31]

Lois,
Could this Frances Cutloaf also be the Francis Cutliff, age 61 in 1805,
mentioned in Chalkley's Chronicles, Volume II of Chronicles of the
Scotch-Irish Settlements of Virginia, p. 73? Conrad Cutliff is also
mentioned with Gotlieb and question mark in parenthesis after his name. They
were residents of Winchester, Frederick County, VA, but the depositions were
deposited in Augusta County.

Lyman C. Draper, Esp.
Dear Sir
Your letter of the 26th April was duly received and I now (word unclear) to reply to its contents.
I have none of Col. Crawfords old papers and have never had any. If he left any his son John Crawford must have had them. He lived and died in Adams Co., Ohio near West Union. He left several children who are it is presumed still living in that Co. or Section. Their names are William, Mary (sic Moses), Richard and a fourth whose name I have forgotten (George Washington), and daughters Sarah and Mary.
All his children are married. The names of the husbands of the daughters I have also forgotten. Upon making enquiry of them you will probabloy ascertain whether Col. Crawford left any papers which will aid you in your proposed biography of him. None of Col. Cs children are living.
Col. Crawford it is my impression was born in Westmoreland Co Va and this impression is induced by the fact that he was an associate of Genl. Washington when they were youths, tho he was some ten or twelve years older than Washington. Col. Crawford had three half brothers, John, Hugh, and Richard Stevenson, familiarly called Stimson. John and Richard commanded regiments in the revolutionary war. The year of Col. C’s birth is unknown to me. My father was six years younger than Genl W. & Col. Must have been some twenty years older than my father. He had one full brother whose name was Valentine who died whilst I was a boy.; His history presents nothing remarkable. Col. C was for many years a resident of Berkely Co. Va is then called, between Harpers Ferry & Winchester. He married in that section of Virginia a lady whose maiden name I do not recollect. Her Christian name was Hannah. I have no knowledge of the time of this marriage. From Va he migrated to Fayette Co, Penna in 1773 or 1774. His children were Effie, my mother; Sarah who married William Harrison; and John Crawford, my mother being the oldest & John the youngest.
(Next lengthy paragraph concerns retreat and captures and deaths at Sandusky battle.)
I have frequently heard my father and mother say that C. went with a part to the relief of Hannah Town, raised the siege and rescued an Indian girl. This is all I know of this. About 1767 & 1768 Genl. W & Col C were engage together in (faded word) warrants on the Kenhawa river in Va. I do not recollect when the C. was engaged in the early Indian wars. He served during the revolutionary war, was in several engagements, but of what character he served or any other particulars attending his carrer (sic) I cannot now recollect. My father and mother both died in Fayette Co Pa, the first died in 1818 & my mother in 1821. The former was of the age of nearly 80 and my mother was nearly 74. Mrs. Springer the widow of Major Harrison was younger than my mother & John Crawford younger than both.
(Final paragraph follows, a general closing with the signature, “Wm McCormick”. Then below this is the following added paragraph in the spirit of a postscript.)
The remarkable circumstanceds attending the execution of my grandfather, partaking so largely of the marvelous as to challenge the belief of the most credulous, I may be permitted here to relate. On the day that Col C was burned I was playing in my father’s yard and in the field near the house I saw, or imagined I saw, a log heap on fire surrounded by Indians and a white burnt in the fire and that man was my grandfather & I alarmed my father & mother by calling them to take “my grand-dad out of the fire”, & such was the effect that the appearance had upon my mind they found it impossible to pacify me. It was ascertained afterwards that my grandfather was at that very hour being burned by the Indians. I was then nearly two years old & what is still remarkable I have now a distinct recollection of the impression then made upon my mind so vivid as tho’ it had occurred by (sic) yesterday. This singular fact was well attested to by my parents while living.

The WJC estimated that the Nazis had already killed over a million Jews, mostlry in Poland, Lithuania, Russia, and Romania. Few American daily papers printed more than brief notices to the effect that the World Jewish Congress had charged the Germans with killing over one million Jews.[43]
