I finally figured out how to run the calendar on my new program so here we go again!
Birthday’s on this date: Mary C. Bowdish Jordan, Rebecca R. Sargent
Anniversaries on this day: Debra Garcia and Lee A. Armstrong
October 13, 1307: The orders went out on October 12 that the Templars were all to be arrested at dawn on October 13. Word had leaked out before that. The majority escaped. A report of 18 Templar ships anchored off the coast of La Roshelle, France. The next day they were gone.[1] There are reports they went to Scotland where they would have been completely safe at that time.[2]
Friday October 13, 1307 just before dawn Phillips constables raided every Templar’s center in France. In a ruthless, perfectly coordinated move every Templar in France was arrested and all Templar property was confiscated by the Crown.[3] More than 5,000 Templars throughout France had been arrested.[4] At the same time as the arrests Philip, the King of France had seized all the Templar lands and properties and urged all the crowned heads of Europe to do the same. But not all of them were convinced of the Templars guilt.[5]
It was well known that the French Crown had been in severe financial difficulties. The King had debased the coinage, expelled the Lombard Bankers, and confiscated all properties of the Jews. Phillip was exceptionally pious and probably even believe the accusations brought against the templars. [6]
The arrest of the Templars however was a long awaited opportunity to excert his dominance over an increasingly week Papacy.[7]
The fate of Jacque Demolay and the Templars is now in the fate of the inquisition. The Inquisitions tactics prove effective, as of the 138 Templars questioned in Paris, most admitted wrongdoing. Demolay repudiated his confession on the grounds he had been tortured. Because he did that, he had to die. [8]
When the Templars were all of a sudden arrested in 1307, they had to go someplace. Scotland, which was home of the Sinclair family, had just had a change of government. Robert the Bruce had just declared himself the King of Scotland and was excommunicated by the Church by the Pope.Also excommunicated, the Knights Templar who came to fight along side King Robert. [9]
In England, when the Templars were attacked in 1307, they leftr their large properties and went into hiding. Oddly enough, when the king took back this massive Templar estate in London, there were a number of lawyers in those Templar buildings who claimed to have leases. They were allowed to stay. Eventually this property known as Temple was given to the lawyers who have continued to occupy it to the present day.[10]
October 13, 1753
Dinwiddie set wheels in motion on October 13, 1753. The man he selected to carry the eviction order to the French commander on the Allegheny was a promising individual only 21 years old whom he had recently appointed adjutant of Virginia’s Southern Military District, a tall, intelligent young major named George Washington.[11]

The Continental Congress authorizes the construction of two warships.[15]
October 13, 1792: The Cornerstone of the White House was laid in a Masonic Ceremony.[16] It is now missing.
October 13, 1812
One thousand United States troops are killed or wounded at the Battle of Queenstown Heights, in Canada, during the War of 1812.[17]
October 13, 1830: The fourth Treaty of Prairie du Chien was negotiated between the United States and the Sac and Fox, the Mdewakanton, Wahpekute, Wahpeton and Sisiton Sioux, Omaha, Ioway, Otoe and Missouria tribes. The treaty was signed on July 15, 1830, with William Clark and Willoughby Morgan representing the United States. Through additional negotiations conducted in St. Louis on October 13, 1830, Yankton Sioux and Santee Sioux agreed to abide by the 1830 Treaty of Prairie du Chien. The US government announced the treaty and its numerous adherents on February 24, 1831.
In this treaty, the tribes agreed to land cession of three large tracts of land: two strips of land 20 miles wide each on either side of the boundary established by the first (1825) Treaty of Prairie du Chien (roughly from La Crosse, Wisconsin to Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin), extending from the Mississippi River to the Des Moines River in what today is southeastern Minnesota and northeastern Iowa; and a large triangular tract of land in southeastern Nebraska and northwestern Missouri, western Iowa and southern Minnesota, from Kansas City, Missouri due north to the Des Moines River, to the area about Spirit Lake, Iowa to Worthington, Minnesota, down Rock River, down the Missouri River and back to Kansas City. Additional tribes later ceded the large triangular tract as the Platte Purchase in 1836.
The treaty also established the Nemaha Half-Breed Reservation, which provided land in southeastern Nebraska to the mixed-race descendants of European/American fur trappers and their Native American women companions from several involved tribes. Without this provision, the mixed-race descendants were often kept from being allocated land on newly established reservations, and were caught between cultures.[18]

October 13, 1915: Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Bowdish are rejoicing over a fine baby girl that came to their home yesterday, October 13, 1915.The little miss tipped the scales at 8 ½ pounds. (Winton Goodlove note:This was Mary Catherine).
October 13, 1915: Jessie Pearl (July 15, 1882-August 24, 1967) married Richard Allen "Dick" Bowdish, September 17, 1908, at the home of the bride’s parents. Richard died in 1967. They had a daughter, Mary Catherine, born October 13, 1915, and a son Albert, born May 1, 1918. Dick and Jessie lived on the home farm of her parents, which they bought in 1913, until their retirement to Colorado. They wanted to be near the home of their daughter and husband, Merrill Jordan (Bk. I, F-32). Albert married Pearl Engstrom and both were missionaries in India until retirement.
It is interesting to note here that William’s son, Willis, married the granddaughter of Levi Brown Andrews who had also served in the Civil War. (Bk. IL, F-3). Also to note that George B. Aikin (Bk. II, F-I) had also served in the Civil War and to wonder if the paths of these three men had ever crossed or had they ever met during their enlistments. George B. Aikin and William FL. Goodlove were great grandfathers, respectively, of Winton Goodlove, and Levi B. Andrews was his great, great, grandfather.[23]
October 13-14, 1939: Al-Husseini was not among the indicted but, fearing imprisonment, on October 13–14, after sliding under cover of darkess down a rope from the Haram's wall, he himself fled via Jaffa to Lebanon, disguised as a Bedouin,[93][94] where he reconstituted the committee under his leadership.[95] Al-Husseini's tactics, his abuse of power to punish other clans, and the killing of 'traitors', alienated many Palestinian Arabs. One local leader, Abu Shair, told Da'ud al-Husayni, an emissary from Damascus who bore a list of people to be assassinated during the uprising that:
'I don’t work for Husayniya ('Husayni-ism') but for wataniya (nationalism).'[96]
He remained in Lebanon for two years, under French surveillance in the Christian village of Zouk,[97] but, in October 1939, his deteriorating relationship with the French and Syrian authorities led him to withdraw to the Kingdom of Iraq. By June 1939, after the disintegration of the revolt, Husseini's policy of killing only proven turncoats changed to one of liquidating all suspects, even members of his own family, according to one intelligence report.[98][24]
• October 13, 1941: Twenty thousand Jews in Dnepropetrovk are killed.[25]
• October 13-21, 1942: Twenty thousand Jews from Piotrkow Trybunalski are deported to Treblinka and 500 escape to the forest. In July 1944 the ghetto is liquidated, and the Jews are sent to labor camps or to Auschwitz.[26]
October 13, 1943: Convoy 60 included 564 males and 436 females. One hundred eight were children under 18. The routinetelex (XLIX-52) was signed by Rothke. It established that on October 7, at 10:30 AM, a convoy of 1,000 Jews left Paris/Bobigny with the Meister der Schupo, Schlamm, head of the escort. On October 13, Hoss, Commandant of Auschwitz, telexed to Rothke (XLIX-53) that on October 10 at 5:30, the convoy actually arrived.
When they arrived in Auschwitz, 340 men were selected and went to Buna, the I.G Farben synthetic rubber plant at Auschwitz. They were assigned numbers 156940 through 157279. One hundred sixty nine women remained alive and were given numbers 64711 through 64879. The rest, 491 people, were gassed.
In 1945, less than two years later, 31 of the 509 selected had survived. Two of the survivors were women.
Professor Waitz, who was on this convoy, gave an account of the voyage from Drancy to Auschwitz:
“The voyage in closed cattle cars began at Drancy on October 7, 1943. In each car, one or two pails of water and a sanitary bucket; 95 to 100 persons squeezed together, without sufficient provisions. In two infirmary cars, where there are some straw mattresses on the floor, are the old, those recovering from typhoid or pneumonia, pregnant women, women with infants, ets., and nine screaming women who were taken from an insane asylum by the Germans.
“It is difficult to care for people in these infirmary wagons as the medicine is in an ordinary car and we are not allowed to go pick it up during the stops. During one stop, I try to obtain heart medicine for one old man who is fainting repeatedly; the German NCO tells me: ‘Let him croak, he’ll be dead soon anyway.’
“During another stop, I request water for the sick, and another NCO answers: ‘It’s useless to give them any, they’ll be finished soon.’
“After three days and three nights of travel, the train arrives at a station platform on October 10, 1943, around three in the morning, and remains standing there until dawn.”
On board Convoy 60 was Mosiek Gottlibowicz, born December 12, 1888 from Wilezyn, Russia.[27]
October 13, 1943 : Italy declares war on Germany.[28]
October 13, 1944: The Soviet Army recaptures Riga, Latvia
