October 20, 1757
Catherine D. P. McKinnon born. (Married Benoni Dawson.)[1]
1758
"Samuel, son of Andrew and Jane, apparently came to Frederick Co., Va. with his father as he is reported in Frederick Co. by 1743. Samuel Vance took part in the French and Indian Wars. The Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia, Vol. 10, p. 98, 1761-1765, states: "Thrusday, the 18th of November (November 18) 1762-- Also an account of Samuel Vance, for Powder and Ball purchased by him of Alexander Sayers, for the use of the mILITIA UNDER HIS COMMAND AT FORT LIGONIES, IN 1758."[2]
1758
In 1758, Lawrence Harrison purchased land in Frederick County from Jacob Hite, son of Jos Hite, who had led the first German settlers into Shenandoah valley.
In 1758, William Crawford was a Lieutenant of Light Horse in Col. George Washington’s Virginian regiment that served in Gen. Forbes’ assault on the French at the forks of Ohio. Most of the land owned by George Washington in the trans-mountain country in later years was selected for him by William Crawford.[3]
1758 Upon the authority of the Governor of Virginia, General Robert Dinwiddie, George Washington promoted William Crawford, obtaining for him the commission of captain.
William took the required oath to Him, His Majesty, King of England, George lll. Crawford’s first acquaintance with the country of the Ohio.[4]
1758
Colonel William Crawford deposeth and saith that his first acquaintance with the country of the Ohio was in the year 1758, he then being an officer in the Virginia Service. That between that time and the year 1758, he then being an officer in the Virginia Service.[5]
Valentine Crawford, Jr. was elected to the Virginia House of Burgess in 1758. [6]
Laurence 3 Harrison (Andrew2, Andrew1) resided in Orange County as
late as 1754, when he removed to Frederick County, Virginia. He
resided there and owned land there from 1758 until 1762. [7]
In the spring or early summer of 1758, Daniel McKinon returns to England. [8]

October 20th, 1770
I made it to Wyondat County, Ohio, on my return from Kentucky in February, 2002. We came home through Ohio and visited several places of which I intend to return in summer months.
At the Ohio History Center at Columbus we found Washington’s journal of the canoe trip in an “Early History of Western Pennsylvania” wherein on page 395 it listed Captain Crawford, William Harrison and a “boy of Captain Crawford’s” among others who made this 500 mile trip. This trip began at Crawford’s at Stewart’s Crossing and ended there. Washington was gone from home “nine weeks and one day”. [17]
October 20, 1772: . Rid to the Ferry, Mill, Doeg Run & Muddy hole Plantns.[18]
October 20, 1775 - Birth of Catherine Dorothea Penelope McKinnon on October 20.(This is from other sources, not my research. It is not totally clear that she was the child of Daniel I, orCatherine, although her name may be significant.)[19]
October 20, 1775
He (Daniel McKinnon) was a man of decided opinions and did not fit in well with the growing tendency in the colonies to question the crown's authority. He was a staunch royalist and preached his convictions from the pulpit. His belief, however, did not prevent his marriage to Miss Polly Dawson, a lovely colonial girl, who was a member of an ardent Whig family.
For several years Polly was very happy with her ecclesiastical husband. A daughter, whom they named Katie, was born[20]. (October 20, 1775)
Daniel McKinnon, b: abt 1730 Isle of Skye, Inverness-Shire, Scotland m: Catherine Lanham. They had 3 children: Daniel, Theophilis b: 1769 and Katie b: October 20, 1775.[21]
"Among the earliest known records in America concerning the Reverend Daniel McKinnon, are those of Trinity Church, New Haven (now Connellsville), Pennsylvania, wherein, in the year 1880, which marked its hundredth anniversary, the 16th of December was set apart to hold a commemorative service. There were present... the Reverend W. G. Stonex, who read a paper, the subject of which was Ministers Who Have Officiated In Trinity Church, 1780-1880." In connection with that early day (1759), we meet the name of the Reverend D. Allison (note: Law. Harrison Dr. married an Allison), who is referred to as "the Chaplain of a small detachment of 100 men" who were sent out to open a road-way to this region. This person, who was an undoubted clergyman of the church, and held regular Sunday services, could not have been the first christioan minister in these parts. At a later day than this, yet still before the Revolutionary War, we are made aware, that there came to this vicinity, as a Church Clergyman, the Reverend Daniel McKinnon, tho "where he resided cannot be ascertained, nor do we know at what points he ministered, except that his name and labors are associated with the Church at Beaver." [22]
---------------------------
"It would appear from a fragmentary record, that as early as 1780, Protestant Episcopal Church wervices were held in Dunbar Township and the neighborhood, by the Reverend Mr. Mitchel, and further that he preached in the vicinity from 1780 to 1790, as an Episcopal Missionary. Who Mr. Mitchel was, or where he came from, or just when he preached are matters upon which the recorder is silent. At some time previous to the Revolutionary War, the Reverend Daniel McKinnon, an Englishman and an Episcopalian, preached in the neighborhood of Connellsville....One of his daughters married Thomas Rogers, one of Dunbar's early settlers. The first meetings (Trinity Church) were held in a log building that stood upon the site now occupied by the Connellsville Public School. Services were held on that side of the river until 1832, when a house of worship was build in New Haven. That house is still used. Mrs. Daniel Rogers (note: prbably Mary Meason, daughter of Catherine Harrison and Isaac Meason) doneated the ground; and given by Daniel Rogers. A handsome memorial window in the church, commemorates the grateful spirit with which the kindly deeds of Mrs. Rogers are cherished. To the gifts mentioned, James McIlvaine, brother of Robert McIlvaine, added later, those of a church bell and parsonage." [23]
October 20, 1776: The Waldeckers arrived at New York on 20 October.[1][24]
October 20, 1777
Contemporary accounts agree that Donop volunteered for the expedition to signalize himself by some feat of arms, ‘as the Hessians had done nothing of consequence this campaign[25]. Captain O’Reilly[26] of Lengerke’s grenadiers attributed the disaster that followed to jealousy between Donop and Cornwallis. At Brandywine, Cornwallis having placed the Hessian grenadiers two hundred paces behind the British, Donop instructed O’Reilly if possible to manoeuvre Lengerke’s battalion forward onto the left flank in line with the British. O’Reilly succeeded in this, much to Donop’s delight. His love of glory was not satisfied with playing second fiddle to the British, and O’Reilly blamed his violent and impetuous ways for the trouble with Howe and Cornwallis. Donop, without choosing his words carefully, often criticized the British leadership. When British guns and ships were vainly battering at Mud Island, Donop remarked ironically to Cornwallis that the attack reminded him of Frederick the Great’s on Olm u tz? in Moravia, where Frederick stood encamped before one gate while the other four stood open.[27] Thus when Donop begged to be sent against Redbank with his brigade alone, Howe and Cornwallis were only too happy to give him the opportunity to find the open gate. They never meant that Donops brigade should meet disaster, wrote O’Reilly, but thought he would have to return without attempting anything or perhaps ‘burn his fingers a little’, and then have to eat his words.’
Howe intended that his orders should give Donop discretion to withdraw if he thought the defences too strong.[28] But Münchhausen tells us that Donop went convinced that he was to attack the fort at all hazards and that he repeated this conviction on his deathbed. For this mistake he holds responsible Cornwallis, who taunted Donop to take the fort, otherwise the British would do [29] Besides the mix-up in passing orders, the expedition was fated by bad intelligence. Howe’s reports on Redbank, three weeks out of date, told him that the fort was still incomplete and Uot the insuperable obstacle it proved. Had Howe ordered Colonel Stirling of the 42nd to attack Redbank immediately after occupying Billingsport, when the information was still accurate, many lives would have been saved.[30] As Colonel William Harcourt wrote to his father, ‘Unfortunately our intelligence was bad, and what was represented as a Battery, erected entirely against the ships and open behind, proved a very strong Fort with a deep ditch.[31]
October 20, 1778: The unit remained in camp until October 20, 1778 when it boarded ship and sailed for Pensacola, Florida. Five ships of the line, 12 frigates and about 110 transport ships set sail on 3 November (November 3), stopping once en route at Kingston, Jamaica. The armada arrived at Pensacola on January 17, 1779. The first Waldeckers to be taken prisoner fell into the hands of the Spaniards on Lake Pontchartrain because they were ignorant of the state of war between Spain and
England. When Baton-Rouge capitulated, the first 53 prisoriers were joined by nearly half of the 1400-man garrison. The rest of the Waldeckers were sent to New York after the fall of Pensacola, having pledged never to fight the Spaniards again (May 1781). The Waldeckers encamped during September 1781 in Newtown, Long Island, in October 1782 in New York and on November went into winter quarters in Flatbush. A transport of recruits stayed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. On January 21, 1783 the regiment received new flags. The Waldeckers remained in Flatbush until the summer of 1783 and the return voyage from New York began on 25 July 1783 (July 25). [32]
October 20, 1780
Zachariah Connell among the number of residents of Fayette County who registered slaves by under the requirement of the law of 1780. Two slaves, viz.:Tom age 32, and Luce, 40.[33]
October 20, 1823: Tom. Moore was the Captain Moore who married Mary Harrison, born 1761; died February 7, 1836, a daughter of Lawrence and Catheren Harrison. He was born in Kent County, Maryland in 1745; died October 20, 1823, in Harrison County, Kentucky; buried next to his wife in Poindexter Village, near Cynthiana. Joseph Vance, whose connections have not been gone into, was no doubt a relative of Honore Vance who married Hugh Crawford. All goes to show these families stuck together in early times. It appears that when the exploitation of lands in the Virginia County of Augusta, later Fayette County, Pennsylvania, was over, a number of persons, including Harrisons, went down the Ohio River to Limestone, now Maysville and up the Licking River to Cynthiana and Paris, Kentucky. They are found in Louisville and south of it on the Salt Licks and Salt River. To prove this, it is noted, in looking over the will of Major William Harrison, nephew of Charles Harrison, dated May 16, 1782; proven March 1, 1784: "It is my further will that the four thousand acres of land located in my name on Licking Creek, in the State of Virginia, be divided and distributed in manner, viz: First, I do give and bequeath unto my much beloved wife, Sarah, five hundred acres during her natural life, at the expiration of which, I desire they be sold and the money equally divided amongst my children or heirs of their body lawfully begotten." (Union-town, Pennsylvania, Court House, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, Orphans Court, Book 1, Page 6, transferred to Book, Page 3.) This will says further: 500 acres to my brother, Benjamin Harrison and the remaining three thousand be divided amongst his children. This land, described as in Virginia, eventually turned out to be located in Kentucky. [34]
This last will and testament of Thomas Moore deceased was proven in open court by the oaths of Peter Barrett and Jenny Barrett subscribing witnesses thereto and ordered to be recorded.
Att. H.C. Moore C. H. C.[35]
Thomas Moore made his will on May 20, 1819, leaving his estate to his wife, naming her to execute his wishes. Mary left lands to children, whose own children inherited in turn. Grandson Marmakuke Moore (1808-1883), after a stint as sheriff of Harrison County, sold his holdings and moved to Covington Kentucky by 1850.
The spare accounts we have about the Moores and the Harrisons are suggestive of a powerful incentive shared by hundreds, then multiple thousands of immigrants to America and also by their early descendents. The unwavering objective, extending across the generations, was to transform vast lands into property. The property motive was in high profile for descendents of colonists from the British Isles, where even the forests were off limits, as owned by the king. The ownership motivation brought the settlers into genocidal conflict with the aboriginal occupiers of America, whose communal ways rejected the idea of land as personal or private property.
Turning land into property seems to have been the primary motive of the settlers, even when there were other incentives, such as unfettered religious practice, or new beginnings well away from the slums of London or the rural poverty of Scotland. The harsh conditionts of life may have pushed the immigrants out of
Europe but ht e vast lands of America is what pulled them. Not long after landfall, the arriving colonials, especially those already with children in their arms and at their sides, realized what lay before them, an impossibly broad expanxe of territory. For the immigrants and their descendents, for gtenerations to come, until the end of the 19th century when the frontier was closed, life would have been full of dreams, discussions and plans with spouses, children and friends. Their subject would have been the land, how to get some it, use it, acquire more of it, hang onto it and pass it down through the family.
Thomas Moore was buried in Harrison County, in Poindexter, west of Cynthiana. A broken headstone reads: Sacred to the Memory of Thomas Moore, a Captain in the Army of the Revolution who died October 20, 1823, in the 78th year of his Life.
There is another headstone, which has a partial inscription today but which was copied some years ago:
Under the Stone are deposited the remains of Mary Moore Consort of Thomas Moore: A native of Virginia, Who died February 7, 1836 In the 75th year of her age To the memory of the fond wife kind parent good neighbor
The Lindsey Cemetery, which contains the Moore graves, is situated on private property, (the McNees farm) in Poindexter, a few miles west of the Cynthiana, KY. The cemetery is about a half mile east of and directly behind a highway marker identifying the location of the cemetery. The marker is on Harrison County Route 1743, “Carl Stephens Road.” You have to enter private property to get to the cemetery. Be nice.[36]
October 20, 1832: The Chickasaws agree to remove in the Treaty of Pontotoc.[37] The Treaty of Pontotoc between the Chickasaw Nation and the US by which they cede their lands east of the Mississippi River for financial compensation and equal lands in Indian Territory. The US does not pay the promised amount for 30 years.[38]
October 20, 1853: Three years after the death of Caty the marriage of Conrad and Cordelia Pyle took place on October 28, 1852, before Mr. Granville Moody, a minister of a Methodist Episcopal Church. (Ref #17)
Note that it was “Filed and Recorded October 20, 1853” a year later.
1853
In the newspaper article it says “In company with his father (Conrad) and his stepmother (Cordelia) he came to West Union, Fayette County, Iowa, at the age of sixteen. Only a year were they at that point when they removed to Wildcat Grove near Marion, in 1853.”
This date, 1853, may not be accurate as indicated by a notarized signature of Conrad in Ohio on March 26, 1855.[39]
1853: The speed record is set for the 15,000 mile voyage from Boston, around the Cape Horn to San Francisco at 76 days and 6 hours.[40]

October 20, 1921: Word of Moulton’s case had been leaked the week before. The promise of continued conflict in the Buck Creek area, plus similar controversies at Masonville and Lamont, finally prompted the Manchester Press to come out against any further consolidation attemps in Delaware County. It lablesed consolidation a “breeder of mischief,” contending that Delaware County’s experience with consolidation “to date has been a serial story of dissension, bitter controversy and factional hostility. Communities have been bent apart, families divided and resentments aroused which will not quiet down in a decade. This paper very serouosly questions if it is worth the cost.”
This drew a sharp response from a member of the county board of education, who argued that consolidation was a significant step forward. Because of it, there were ten times as many high school graduates in the United States as there had been thirty years earlier. In the same issue the Press replied that it remained convinced that in both High and consolidated schools we are following fads which are not only costly butr inefficient. It is the opinion of this paper that instead of giving our children in these schools the solid fundamentals of knowledge, branches of real substance which they will be able to retain and make use of in after life, we are giving them a smattering of this and that, rushing them through to graduation at an early age, cramming them full of hurriedly digested matter which is forgotten as soon as learned, and in effect trying to turn out a university product before the pupil is out of his teens…. As to the consolidated school being a provoker of neiughborhood contention, that fact is too well established to require elaboration. It is so in all parts of Iowa and in many parts of Delaware County, and we repeat that in its results as a disturber of community harmony and in its effects measured in a practical and lasting education, we could spend our money to much treater advantage.[45]

[13] Cornplanter. Indian name Garyan-wah-gah. Iroquois Chief—Seneca. (Captain O’Bail). Born in Conewaugus on the Genesee River (near present day Rochester, NY) c1735. Died on the Cornplanter plot February 17, 1836. Although fighting on the British side during the Revolutionary War, he argued for a peaceful settlement between the Iroquois and the thirteen colonies. He allied with Joseph Brant and Sayenqueragta against General John Sullivan in 1779 during Sullivan’s march into Iroquoia. With Sir John Johnson, Brant, and others he assisted in the looting and burning in 1780 of the Schoharie and Mohawk valleys. After the Fort Stanwix Treaty of 1784, he was seen as a traitor by many Iroquois—a peacemaker by others. Joseph Brant was especially critical of Cornplanter—both were ambitious and competed for Iroquois supremacy.

In the late 1780s and 1790s when PA or federal officials had a problem with Indians in western PA, Cornplanter was the one brought into the conversation. Both sides recognized that fighting between settlers and Indians was not something that was going away during the early 1790s. The practice of "covering the grave" with a going-rate of $200 per Indian—or settler, served as a sort of unspoken agreement. Cover the Grave. An Indian practice aimed at reducing, or eliminating "revenge murders." When a member of one tribe kills a member of a second tribe, an immediate reaction might be to "avenge the murder" by killing the perpetrator. This killing might set-off a chain-reaction of further killings. Recognizing that the killing of the second person will not bring the first person back to life, an accomodation would be made by forcing the guilty party to cover the grave of the deceased with gifts of value. The efficacy of this practice depends on the power and influence of the chiefs and sachems of the involved tribes. When a third-party (the colonists) became involved, the practice was put to the test. The insistance on a murder trial by settlers could cause a major conflict.

Cornplanter's father was Dutch and his mother Seneca (she was Guyasutha's sister). Father was Indian trader (John O’Bail). His half-brother, Handsome Lake, was an important Seneca mystic and religious leader. Cornplanter developed his grant as a model community with help from Quakers. He built schools, roads, houses and a strong agricultural infrastructure. However, after a string of questionable dealings with white men, he became embittered and destroyed his relationships—including a gift from George Washington.

Cornplanter kept the Senecas neutral during the post Revolutionary War period and in appreciation, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania gave him (personally) three plots of land along the Allegheny River near the New York state line (Resolution of the Pennsylvania General Assembly on March 24, 1789). He sold a six-hundred acre plot ("Richland") near West Hickory to General John Wilkins, Jr.. A second plot of three-hundred acres at Oil Creek ("The Gift") was sold to William Kinnear and William Connelly in 1818 for $2,121 with a $250 downpayment. Connelly paid-off his debt the same year; Kinnear never did and Cornplanter was unsuccessful in collecting. The third plot he held (779 acres in Cold Spring Township in Warren County) and developed along with several noteworthy Seneca including his uncle Guyasutha and his half-brother, the prophet Handsome Lake. The land stayed with the Seneca until 1965 when it went under water as part of a flood control project—the Kinzua Dam.
A second factor concerning the transaction is that Cornplanter met President Washington and the Secretary of War, Henry Knox, in Philadelphia in April 1791. Cornplanter wanted some territorial agreements made in prior treaties to be recinded, but Washington and Knox would not agree. However, Washington did address a question concerning the land then held by Cornplanter and his Seneca. Washington assured Cornplanter that "...no state nor person can purchase your lands, unless at some public treaty held under the Authority of the United States. The general Government will never consent to your being defrauded. But it will protect you in all your just rights...You possess the right to sell, and the right of refusing to sell your lands..." This was a major coup for an Indian. No state could take his land—like had happened to the Iroquois in NY. Finally, an Indian had the assurance of the President of the United States that his land was his and could not be taken away.

[14] Robert Bell had served with the Virginia Regiment in 1754 and was discharged for injuries in Jan. 1755 (H.B.J., 1752--55, 273). In 1775 he was living near present-day McKee's Rocks, near Pittsburgh (see CRESSWELL, 70). William Harrison was William Crawford's son-in-law. He was killed by Indians on the disastrous Sandusky campaign in 1782, which also claimed the life of his father-in-law (WHi: Draper Papers, E-11, 44). Charles Morgan and Daniel Reardon have not been further identified.
[15]Lt. Robert Hamilton of the Fort Pitt garrison was an officer in the 18th Regiment of Foot (Royal Irish).
[16] Alexander McKee (c. 1742--1799), son of Capt. Thomas McKee, a Pennsylvania trader, acted as a British Indian agent at Fort Pitt 1755--75 and acquired extensive landholdings in Pennsylvania in the area of McKee's Rocks and in Kentucky
(HOBERG). During the American Revolution he remained loyal to the crown, was held prisoner for a time at Pittsburgh, and finally fled to Detroit. He was a vigorous British agent among the Indians throughout the war and helped inflict extensive
damage on the Americans on the frontier. After the Revolution he settled at Detroit, holding the post of deputy agent for Indian affairs for the area, and when the Americans occupied Detroit in 1796 he moved his establishment to the month of the Thames River in Canada.
