October 1635: Roger Williams emigrated to Boston. A believer in religious toleration, Williams would be forced to leave Boston which populated by the intolerant Puritans. In Rhode Island, Williams would practice the religious toleration that became part of the American fabric and would make the United States a unique experience for the Jews. [1] Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island and an important American religious leader, arrives in Boston in the Massachusetts Bay Colony from England. Williams, a Puritan, worked as a teacher before serving briefly as a colorful pastor at Plymouth and then at Salem. Within a few years of his arrival, he alarmed the Puritan oligarchy of Massachusetts by speaking out against the right of civil authorities to punish religious dissension and to confiscate Indian land. In October 1635, he was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony by the General Court.
After leaving Massachusetts, Williams, with the assistance of the Narragansett tribe, established a settlement at the junction of two rivers near Narragansett Bay, located in present-day Rhode Island. He declared the settlement open to all those seeking freedom of conscience and the removal of the church from civil matters, and many dissatisfied Puritans came. Taking the success of the venture as a sign from God, Williams named the community "Providence."
Among those who found a haven in the religious and political refuge of the Rhode Island Colony were Anne Hutchinson,like Williams, exiled from Massachusetts for religious reasons; some of the first Jews to settle in North America; and the Quakers. In Providence, Roger Williams also founded the first Baptist church in America and edited the first dictionary of Native American languages.[2]
October 1669: Barbados passed a law granting the Jewish community the permission they requested concerning the taking of oaths. In the 1660's the Jewish community of Barbados became established and of considerable importance. The Jewish community, however, had a decided disadvantage in that their testimony was not admissible in court cases due to their refusal to take an oath on a Christian Bible. In October 1669 the Jewish community presented the king a petition requesting permission to take be able to take oaths on the Five Books of Moses, the Jewish Bible’[3]

George Washington to John Hall and John King, October 16, 1755
Winchester, October 16th, 1755
I received yours, and am as much surprised at your delay in repairing to your Rendezvous, as being at a loss for Orders after you did arrive there.
I Order, that upon the receipt of this, you March the Recruits immediately to this place, where Clothes and Ammunition will be provided:for your provision is sent to meet you on Martin Harden’s Road, by which you are ordered to March.
If Captain Harrison is at Fredericksburgh, he is to take Command of the Recruits, and March them up here; if not, do not wait for him; march them up without, and wait there for Orders. You are to provide Linen at Mr. Dicks for Haversacks for the men, and bring it up with you, if you can, conveniently.[7]
October 16th, 1770.—At Capt. Crawford’s till evening, when I went to Mr. John Stephenson’s, on my way to Pittsburg, and lodged. This day I was visited by one Mr. Ennis, who had travelled down the Little Kenhawa, almost from the head to the mouth, on which he says the lands are broken, the bottoms neither very wide nor rich, but covered with beach. At the mouth the lands are good, and continue so up the river. About Wheeling and Fisher’s creek, there is according to his account, a body of fine land. I also saw a son of Capt. John Hardens, who said he had been from the mouth of Little Kenhawa to the Big; but his description of the land seemed to be so vague and indeterminate, that it was much doubted whether he ever was there or not.
October 16, 1770; At Capt. Crawfords till the evening when I went to Mr. John Stephenson on my way to Pittsburgh and lodged. I also saw a son of Capt. John Hardens of Frederick County, VA who said he had come from the mouth of Little Kenhawa. He says that at the mouth of the big Kanhawa there may be about 20-25000 acres of land that is good and that the falls of the Kenhawa are not about 10 miles of it.[8]

And in capd on a fine piece of Ground with an intent to wait for the Governor & his party but hearing that he was goi g another way we Contented our selves to stay there a few days to rest the troops & when we looked upon our selves to be in safety till Monday morning the 10th Instant when two of our Compys.

On October 24, 1778, an October 16, 1778
War Office document pertaining to George Morgan was read to Congress. That document states:
The Board have considered of Colonel Morgan‘s letter of the 12th instant referred to
them. It appears by the letter of his agent Mr. Shelton, that 1,000 head of cattle have been
purchased for the troops at the westward, and by the information of Mr. Gibson, ye
express now here from fort Pitt, that several hundred head have actually been delivered,
and by that means General McIntosh has been enabled to commence his expeditionbefore the arrival of supplies from Mr. Lockart; and as the cattle were purchased probably at rather high prices, the Board beg leave to report:
That sixty thousand dollars be paid to Colonel George Morgan for the purchases of cattle
made by his direction for the troops on the western frontiers, and to defray the expence of
purchasing and driving the same; he to be accountable for that sum.
The Board beg leave to remind Congress that they reported some time since a large sum
to be granted to Colonel Morgan to enable him to lay up salt provisions and flour for
next year, for the troops at the westward. The forming such magazines is every day
growing more difficult and expensive; and in a little time will probably be quite
impracticable. [12]
George Washington To THOMAS FREEMAN
Mount Vernon, October 16, 1785.
Sir: It is sometime since I wrote in very great haste an answer, or rather an acknowledgement of your letter of the 9th. of June. I will now by Mr. Craig,[13]a endeavour to be more explicit than I was, or could be at that time. With regard to my Lands on the Ohio and Great Kanhawa, I am not yet inclined to relax from the terms of my printed Advertisement, with a copy of which I furnished you: When I see cause to do it, you shall be duly advertised of the change: in the meantime, if you could discover the most advantageous terms which could be obtained, and would advise me thereof, I should be obliged to you. As to the Great Meadow tract, you may rent it on the best terms you can, not exceeding ten years from the first day of January next.
My sentiments with respect to the Mill were so fully given to you in my last by Dr. Knight[14] that it is unnecessary to add aught on that score now. It has cost me too much already (without any return) to undergo a repetition of the like cxpence. If you cannot rent or sell her as there directed, let her return to dust, the first loss may be best.
I informed you in my last, and I presume you were convinced of it before, that I made no agreement with the Tenants on the tract near you, which could exonerate them from paying the rents which were then due; consequently they must be made to pay them; otherwise the most deserving of favor (by having paid) are on a worse footing, than the least deserving who ought to have paid before I went into the country and explained the terms on which I had directed them to be let.
With respect to Mr. Simpsons quitting the Tenement, I observed to you in my last; that when I make a bargain I consider it,to all intents and purposes, as binding on me; consequently that it is so on the person with whom it is made. He may well remember, that upon his expressing an idea that he would try the place one year on the rent it now goes at, I told him explicitly he must take it for the period on which it was offered, or not at all; as I did not intend to go thro’ the same trouble every year by making an annual bargain for it; and that he acquiesed thereto. It behooves him therefore, and the Tenant likewise, to consider what they are about, as one or the other will be liable to me for the rent, agreeably to the tenure of the Lease. I in-formed you in my last what had been done with the accounts which were put into my hands by him and Mr. John Jones, and requested him to assign the certificate which I then enclosed, and to return itto me; but have heard nothing from him since on the subject, which is a little surprizing.
I hope the Hay, Corn and other articles have been sold ‘crc this, and that you have received the Cash for them, or good security for the payment of the amount of them.
If Mr. Simpson, contrary to his agreement and good faith, should have moved off my Land; I am at a loss to decide what had best be done with my negroes. It was in consideration of his taking the Plantation, that I agreed to let him have the negroes so cheap: If he is gone, or going from it, he shall hold them no longer on the same terms he has them this year: but my wish would be that you could send them to me at this place, if the measure can be reconciled to them. Simon’s countrymen, and Nancy’s relations are all here, and would be glad to see them; I would make a Carpenter of Simon, to work along with his shipmate Sambo. At any rate I will not suffer them to go down the river, or to any distance where you cannot have an eye over them.
What Capt: Crawford did upon my Land on Shirtee in order to save it, must undoubtedly be well known to those who were most intimately connected with him and his movements at that period. Mr. Chas. Morgan is as likely to possess this knowledge as any other; but certainly there must be more, and it may be essential to find them out and to call upon them as evidences in the cause.
In a former Letter I informed you that I had obtained a Patent for the round Bottom; and that it might be rented on the same terms with my other Lands on the Ohio and Great Kanhawa; and I repeat it in this, lest a miscarriage should have happened.
When I was out last fall, I left all my Baggage at Mr. Simpson’s, viz, Tents, Bedding and many other things; of which I hope proper care have and will be taken, if he has, or is about to leave the place. Among other Articles there were two eight gallon Kegs of West India rum, one of them of the first quality. As this is a commodity which is subject to a variety of accidents and misfortunes, I request it may be sold: I will take my chance to procure more when I may come into that Country; which, at present, is uncertain. If the Tents and bedding should get wet, and are not dryed, they will be ruined; and therefore pray that particular attention may be paid to them, my Canteens, travelling Trunk &c. &c.
If you have received and paid anything on my account since I was out; it may be well to render a statement of it by Mr. Craig, who will offer a safe and good opportunity to remit what ash may be in your hands consequent of the sales of last fall )r by other means, after you have deducted your commissions. If the Bonds which were taken at that time are not paid agreeIbly to the terms of them, delay no time to recover the money ts soon as you can; as I am not inclined to be put off with inineaning promises, and obliged to sue at last.
If my negroes are to come down, the sooner it could happen he better for the young ones: and a careful person should be tired to take care of them. In this case I would wish to have iy Baggage (except the Liquor) sent to me at the same time, ne trouble and expence would serve both purposes, I am, etc.[15]
October 16, 1793: In August 1792, the royal couple was arrested by the sans-cullottes and imprisoned, and in September the monarchy was abolished by the National Convention (which had replaced the National Assembly). In November, evidence of Louis XVI's counterrevolutionary intrigues with Austria and other foreign nations was discovered, and he was put on trial for treason by the National Convention.
The next January, Louis was convicted and condemned to death by a narrow majority. On January 21, he walked steadfastly to the guillotine and was executed. Nine months later, Marie Antoinette was convicted of treason by a tribunal, and on October 16 she followed her husband to the guillotine.[16]

October 16, 1915: Colonel William Joseph Simmons for twenty yearshad given thought to the creation of an order standing for a comprehensive Americanism that would blot out Mason and Dixon’s Line. Fascinated as he was from boyhood by the romantic story of the old Klan of Reconstruction days, which is looked upon in the South as the savior of Southern civilization he called the new order the Knight of the Ku Klux Klan. On October 16, 1915 Mr. Simmons, together with some thirty four friends, three of whom were bona fide members of the old Klan, met and signed a petition for a charter. The charter was granted and on Thanksgiving night, 1915, they gathered “under a blazing, fiery torch” on the top of Stone Mountain, near Atlanta, and took the oath of allegiance to the Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

[9] Capt. Benjamin Harrison, son of Daniel, belonged to the Rockingham family of that name, founders of Harrisonburg. He was born in 1741, and after his service at Point Pleasant acted as colonel in McIntosh’s campaign. (1777). He was lieutenant colonel of his county, and led troops to aid Lafayette (1781) against Cornwallis. He died in 1819. This information was furnished to Dr. Draper by his son, Peach R. Harrison, who died in 1848. See Draper MSS., 8ZZ68. (Dunmore’s War, by Thwaites and Kellogg) This Benjamin Harrison is not currently in the lineage of the Harrison’s connected to my family.
