1766

Alexander Vance held one of the 4 land warrants issued for Tyrone County (his was issued April 3,1769, but not surveyed till April 11,1788). John Vance, Moses' father settled on a tract of land in 1766. John Vance (d. 1772) "who's ancestors came from Scotland and Ireland, was a native of Virginia". He came to PA with his sister's husband Col. William Crawford. John was already married to his wife Margaret White before he left VA. John died young leaving his wife Margaret to raise their 6 children, David, William, Moses, Jane, Elizabeth, and Maria. "Among the records of property is one where, under date of January 10, 1781, Margaret Vance, widow of John Vance, reported the list of her registered slaves, - one female, named Priscilla, aged twenty-seven years, and two males, Harry and Daniel, aged respectively seven and three years.

Priscilla and Harry afterwards became the property of the daughter, Jane Vance who was married to Benjamin Whalley. The son David (Vance) settled in Kentucky, and William (Vance) remained on the old place until middle life, when he died, never having married. Moses Vance also stayed upon the homestead, and when, in 1790, the land upon which his father's family had lived so long was warrented to Benjamin Whalley, two hundred and fifty acres of it was transferred to him and upon that he resided until his death.

Moses Vance's wife was Elizabeth, a daughter of Jacob Strickler, and they reared a family of seven sons and two daughters, John, Jacob, Samuel, Francis, William, Crawford, George, Margaret, and Eliza. John still lives on the old Gamer place, Jacob is in Lower Tyrone, and William's home is in Connellsville. Before leaving his native town, Tyrone, William held the office of justice of the peace for some years. George Vance removed to Illinois, and Samuel, Francis, Crawford, and Margaret are dead." [6]

Description


http://www.bryanfamilyonline.com/strictree.html


1766

(Lawrence Harrison) Bought land in western Pa. (Va.) in 1766. [7]

1766 William Crawford completes his improvements and moves his family to their new home in what was then called Augusta County, Virginia. (Fayette County, PA)[8]

“In the spring of the year… he settled, and has continued to live here ever since. That before that time, and in that year, a considerable number of settlements weremade, he thinks near three hundred, without permission from any commanding officer, some of which settlements were made with the limits of the Indiana Company’s claim, and some others within Colonel Croghan’s.”[9]

1766

This increasing contact and intercourse of pioneer settlers, with the Indians led, as might be expected, to many disorders; and as the jealousies of the latter grew stronger, occasional personal con­flicts, and even homicides, occurred, which added to the animosi­ties by the whites, and to the causes of complaint by the natives. Many Indians were killed on the frontiers of Virginia and Pennsylvania, and occasionally a white trader or hunter met a corre­sponding fate. But within the territory of Fayette few such out­rages are known to have been perpetrated. Of these was the murder of “Bald Eagle[10],” on the .Monongahela.[11] the killing of Indian Stephen at or near Stewart’s Crosings,[12] and the shooting, and burning the cabin of the two stranger hunters and settlers near Mendenhall’s dam, on the Burnt Cabin fork of Dunlap’s creek.[13] When this case occurred is not so certainly known, but the two Indians were killed in 1766. Great efforts were made to apprehend and punish the offenders, but except as to an alleged accomplice in the case of Stephen, they were fruitless. “At this,” writes Governor Fauquier, “I am not surprised, for I have found by experience that it is impossible to bring any body to justise for the murder of an Indian, who takes shelter among our back inhabitants, among whom it is looked upon as a meritorious action, and they are sure of being protected.”

The Indian murmurs grew louder, and their threats of vengeance more earnest and alarming. So far as concerned Pennsylvania, the great burden of complaint was the settlements upon their lands along the Monongahela, Redstone, the Youghiogheny and Cheat. They complained also of the murder of their people, and to these the more sober and discreet of their tribes, as a distinct grievance, the increasing corruption of the young men and warriors by Rum. They had, however, thus early learned to discriminate between the people of the two rival colonies, and charged nearly all their grievances to the people of Virginia. But, as the localities were in Pennsylvania, it behooved the Penn Government to devise and execute a remedy for the wrongs complained of, so as thereby to prevent the savage retaliation which impended over the border inhabitants.[14]

1766

Stamp act repealed; great celebrations.[19]

October 27. (George Washington and 6th great grandfather William Crawford) Incampd at the Mouth of great Hockhocking distant from our last Incampment abt. 32 Miles.[20]



October 27th—(George Washington and 6th great grandfather William Crawford) Left our encampment a quarter before seven, and after passing the creek near which we lay, and another of much tile same size, and on the same side: also an island about two miles in length, but not wide, we came to the mouth of Muskingum, distant from our encampment about four miles. This river is about one hundred and fifty yards wide at the mouth; it runs out in a gentle current and clear stream, and is navigable a great way into the country for canoes. From Muskingum to the Little Kenhawa is about thirteen miles, ‘This is about as wide at the mouth as the MLmSkingurn, but the water much deeper. It runs up towards tile inhabitants of Monongahela, and according to the Indians account, forks about forty or fifty miles from time mouth, and the ridge between tile two Prongs heads direr tlv to We setttlement. ‘To this foi-k and above, the water is navigable for canoes. On the upper side of this river there appears to be a bottom of exceedingly rich land, and the country from hence quite up to the Timree Islands level and in appear­ance fine. ‘I’he Ohio running around it in the form of a horse shoe, forms a neck of flat land, which added to that running up tine second Long Reach aforementiomed, cannot comltain less than fifty thousand acres in view.

About six or seven miles below the mouth of Little Kenhawa, we camne to a small creek on the west side, which the Indians called Little Hockhocking; but before we did this, we passed another small creek on the same side near the mouth of that river, and a cluster of islands after­wards. ‘The lands for two or three miles below the moumli of the Little Kenha~va, on both sides of the Ohio, appear broken amid indifferent; but opposite to the Little Hockhocking there is a bottjm of good land, through which there runs a small water course. I suppose there may’ be, of this bottom and flat land together, two or three thousand acres. The lower end of this bottom is opposite to a small island, of which I dare say, little is to be seen when the river is high. About eight miles below Little Hockhocking we •ncamped, opposite the mouth of Great Hockhocking, which, though so called, is not a large water; though the Indians say c~noes go up it for forty or fifty miles. Since we left the Little Kenimawa the lands appear neither so level nor so good. The bends of the river and bottoms are longer, but not so rich as on the upper part of the river.[21]

October 27, 1778: Colonel Crawford was requested to join the Berkeley and Augusta troops at Fort Mcintosh into one corps, and the Hampshire and Rockingham troops into another, to be called the Third and Fourth Regiments of his brigade, from 1778 which he was to select a company of officers and men for light infantry duty.[23]

Autumn, 1778

We were shown a very old copy of a book entitled “Crawford’s Expedition Against Sandusky in 1782” written by C. W. Butterfield (Ref#39.3) David Barth claims this is the most comprehensive historical account of the expedition. One of the significant pieces of information to me was the facts on William Harrison (page 347) whose body was recognized by Sloner who escaped and later wrote of his experiences. According to Butterfield, “ William Harrison was a lawyer by profession, high minded and well educated. His manners were grave and sedate; his conduct, prudent, his good sense and public spirit duly appreciated by all who knew him. He had been a Sheriff of Yohogania County, Virginia, and one of its members in the House of Delegates. He was also familiar with the duties of a soldier. He had been a Major and Lieutenant-Colonel of a military regiment under McIntosh, in the expedition of the latter into the indian country west of the Ohio, at the building of Forts McIntosh and Laurens, in the autumn of 1778.” [24]

...a son of Lawrence Harrison who was one of the first settlers in the Younghiogheny Valley, Va. He (William) was a Virginian by birth and a man of much note. He was a lawyer by profession, high minded and well educated. He had been sheriff of Yohogania Co., and one of its members in the House of Delagates. He was also a soldier, had been a Maj. and Lt. Col. of a militia regiment under McIntosh at the building of Forts McIntosh and Laurens,

October 27, 1795

Spain agrees to relinquish two forts on the Mississippi River and open it up to navigation in the Treaty of San Lorenz.[29]

October 27, 1795: Pinckney's Treaty

Pinckney's Treaty, also known as the Treaty of San Lorenzo or the Treaty of Madrid, was signed in San Lorenzo de El Escorial on October 27, 1795 and established intentions of friendship between the United States and Spain. It also defined the boundaries of the United States with the Spanish colonies and guaranteed the United States navigation rights on the Mississippi River. The treaty's full title is Treaty of Friendship, Limits, and Navigation Between Spain and the United States. Thomas Pinckney negotiated the treaty for the United States and Don Manuel de Godoy represented Spain. Among other things, it ended the first phase of the West Florida Controversy, a dispute between the two nations over the boundaries of the Spanish colony of West Florida.

The treaty was presented to the United States Senate on February 26, 1796 and after several weeks of debate was ratified on March 7, 1796. It was ratified by Spain on April 25, 1796 and ratifications were exchanged on that date. The treaty was proclaimed on August 3, 1796.





Background

The Spanish acquired Florida and the southern coast along the Gulf of Mexico in the Peace Treaty of 1783. The British settlers left, and Spain sent in some soldiers but never sent settlers. Madrid had no plans for the future of Florida, which cost $30,000 a month for the garrisons, and realized the need to clarify the boundaries.[1] The border with the U.S. was disputed. In 1784, the Spanish closed New Orleans to American goods coming down the Mississippi River. In 1795, the border was settled and the U.S. and Spain had a trade agreement. New Orleans was reopened and Americans could transfer goods without paying cargo fees (right of deposit) when transferring goods from one ship to another.

Treaty terms

The Spanish, led by Manuel Godoy, were willing to negotiate with the United States, more from fear of a U.S.-British alliance which seemed imminent with the Jays Treaty of 1794. Less influential was the recently signed Treaty of Basilea which had ended the war between Spain and France.

By terms of the treaty, Spain and the United States agreed that the southern boundary of the United States with the Spanish Colonies of East Florida and West Florida was a line beginning on the Mississippi River at the 31st degree north latitude drawn due east to the middle of the Chattahoochee River and from there along the middle of the river to the junction with the Flint River and from there straight to the headwaters of the St. Marys River and from there along the middle of the channel to the Atlantic Ocean.[2] This describes the current boundary between the present states of Florida and Georgia and the line from the northern boundary of the Florida panhandle to the northern boundary of that portion of Louisiana east of the Mississippi. (The line ceases to be a border from the Pearl River to the Perdido River in order to provide the states of Mississippi and Alabama with seaports.)

This boundary had been in dispute since the British had expanded the territory of the Florida colonies while it was in their possession. They had moved the boundary from the 31st degree latitude northwards to a line drawn due east from the junction of the Yazoo River and the Mississippi, the present day location of Vicksburg, Mississippi. After the American Revolutionary War, Spain claimed the British border at the day of the Treaty of Paris while the United States insisted on the old boundary.

The treaty directed the United States and Spain to jointly survey the boundary line, and Andrew Ellicott served as the head of the U.S survey party. The treaty set the western boundary of the United States, separating it from the Spanish Colony of Louisiana as the middle of the Mississippi River from the northern boundary of the United States to the 31st degree north latitude. The agreement therefore put the lands of the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations of American Indians within the new boundaries of the United States.[3] The United States and Spain agreed not to incite native tribes to warfare. Previously, Spain had been supplying weapons to local tribes for many years. Spain and the United States also agreed to protect the vessels of the other party anywhere within their jurisdictions and to not detain or embargo the other's citizens or vessels. The treaty also guaranteed navigation of the entire length of the river for both the United States and Spain. The territory ceded by Spain in this treaty was organized by the United States into the Mississippi Territory in 1798.

Manifest Destiny

Grant (1997) argues that the Treaty was critical for the emergence of American expansionism (later known as "Manifest Destiny"), because control of the Natchez and Tombigbee districts were needed for America's dominance of the Southwest. The collapse of Spanish power in the region was inevitable as Americans poured into the district, and very few Spaniards lived there. Spain gave up the area for reasons of international politics, not local unrest. Spanish rule was accepted by the French and British settlers near Natchez. Relations with the Indians were tranquil. However, with the loss of Natchez, Spain's frontier was no longer secure and the rest of her territory was lost piecemeal.

Disputes

In 1800, under duress from Napoleon of France, Spain ceded an undefined portion of West Florida to France. When France then sold the Louisiana Territory to the US in 1803, a dispute arose again between Spain and the US on which parts of West Florida exactly had Spain ceded to France, which would in turn decide which parts of West Florida were now US property versus Spanish property.[30]

Signature
Alfred Lothar Wegener (November 1, 1880 – November 1930) was a German polar researcher, geophysicist and meteorologist.

During his lifetime he was primarily known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, but today he is most remembered for advancing the theory of continental drift (Kontinentalverschiebung) in 1912, which hypothesized that the continents were slowly drifting around the Earth. His hypothesis was controversial and not widely accepted until the 1950s, when numerous discoveries such as palaeomagnetism provided strong support for continental drift, and thereby a substantial basis for today's model of Plate tectonics.[1][2] Wegener was involved in several expeditions to Greenland to study polar air circulation before the existence of the jet stream was accepted. Expedition participants made many meteorological observations and achieved the first-ever overwintering on the inland Greenland ice sheet as well as the first-ever boring of ice cores on a moving Arctic glacier.[41]

October 27, 1913: From Itchip, practically the entire Jewish community (about 710 people) fled to Salonica before the arrival of the Bulgarians. Only 5 men and 2 youths stayed behind. Two of the old men were killed; all the Jewish homes were plundered and demolished. Synagogues were desecrated and burned as were 24 Jewish stores and homes.[42]

October 27, 1937: The Palestine Post reported that in Danzig Jewish shops and houses were pillaged and windows smashed. This outbreak of violence against the Jews took place almost two years before the outbreak of World War II. [43]


October 27, 1938 : Hitler expelled 18,000 Jews from Germany who were born in the former Polish provinces. The Jews were abused and tortured as they made their way to the border. The Poles did not want to admit the Jews and for a while many were left to languish on the border. [44]


October 27, 1940: Ritual slaughter is banned in Belgium. [45]

October 27, 1941: Jews of Sluzk, 60 miles south of Minsk, Belorussia, are annihilated by Einsatzkommando troop, half of whom are German, half Lithuanian.[46]

October 27, 1941: IN the Polish town of Kalisz (Kalisz is where the Goodfirend family is from who are a DNA match to the Goodlove family.) a large black truck drove up and took on a passenger load of Jews. Escorted by two Gestapo cars, the truck drove away. Its passengers were never heard from again. This was the first of the gas wagons. This method of extermination was not efficient and ould give way to that ultimate in German efficiency, the gas chamber.[47]

Octoeber 27, 1941: The Italian foreign ministry approved al-Husseini's proposal, recommended giving him a grant of one million lire, and referred him to Benito Mussolini, who met al-Husseini on October 27. According to al-Husseini's account, it was an amicable meeting in which Mussolini expressed his hostility to the Jews and Zionism.[122][48]

October 27, 1942: The Nazis sent 3,000 Jews from Opocno, Poland to Treblinka. At the start of the war almost half the town of Opoczno was Jewish. Jews had lived there since the 14th century. The Jews had lived there continually since the start of the 18th century. At the time of the mass deportation in October 1942, scores of Jews fled to the forests and organized opartisan units there. The best known unit, “Lions”, under the command of Julian Ajzenman-Kaniewski, conducted a number of successful guerilla actions against Nazi forces and the OpocznoKonskie railway line. Aftetr the war the Jewish Community of Opocznowas not reconstituted.[49]

October 27, 1942: Germany announced that any Pole helping Jews to escape should be dealt with “without the necessary delay of court hearings.” The penalty for assisting Jews was death.[50]

October 27-28, 1942: Seven thousand Krakow Poland, Jews are deported to Belzec; 600 are killed in Krakow.[51]

Bald Eagle’s Nest (Milesburg), Bald Eagle Creek, Bald Eagle Mountain, Bald Eagle Township (and school district) in Clinton County. A Delaware-Munsee (wolf clan) chief named Bald Eagle led raids against the Americans in the Revolutionary War. Bald Eagle in his allegiance to the British led numerous war parties against the colonial settlements on the west branch of the Susquehanna River.

"Bald Eagle's Nest. A Delaware Indian village name for a noted Munsee chief Woapalanne or "Bald Eagle." Located at union of Spring and Bald Eagle Creeks. From here raids on the frontier were made in Revolutionary days.

"Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission."

Bald Eagle was named as the assassin of James Brady near Williamsport in 1778 and the victim of Brady’s brother (Sam) in June 1779 near Brady’s Bend on the Allegheny River in Clarion County.

Some accounts have Chief Cornplanter of the Senecas as being part of Bald Eagle’s party that killed James Brady. White men on the Monongahela River killed another Bald Eagle in 1779.

When reading of “Bald Eagle”—beware! Bald Eagle and Sam Brady have both taken on near mythical status and the accounts of both are seasoned with both fact and fiction. Some write that after James Brady was scalped by Bald Eagle, Brady lived four or five days before dying and was able to make positive identification as to his assassin. After Sam Brady shot Bald Eagle, he is said to have scalped the Munsee chief.

[11] ”Bald Eagle” was an Inoffensive old Delaware warrior. He was on Intimate terms with the early settlers, with whom he hunted, fished and visited. He was well-known along our Monongahela border, up and down which he frequently passed in his canoe. Somewhere up the river, probably about the mouth of Cheat, he was killed—by whom, and on what pretense, Is unknown. His dead body, placed upright In his canoe, with a piece of corn-bread in his clenched teeth, was set adrift on the river. The canoe came ashore at Provance’s Bottom, where the familiar old Indian was at once recognized by the wife of William Yard Provance, who wondered he did not leave his canoe. On closer observation, she found he was dead. She had him decently buried on the Fayette shore, near the early residence of Robert McClean, at what was known as McClean’s Ford. This murder was regarded, both by whites and Indians, as a great outrage, and the latter made it a prominent item in their list of unavenged grievances.


[12] (h)This offense was committed by one Samuel Jacobs, aided and abetted by one John Ingman, an ‘indented servant” of Capt. Wm. Crawford—probably a negro slave. The pravocation and other circumstances of the case are unknown. The case acquired importance from the fact that the Governor of Virginia, contrary to the claim of that province to the territory embracing the locality of the killing, had sent one of the offenders back from Virginia to Pennsylvania to be tried for the offense—See “Boundary ControVersy.”


[13] (flThis case, as related by Joseph Mendenhall, au old soldier, and settler at the place known as Mendenhall’s Dam, in Menallen township, was thus:— About three and a half miles west of Unlontown, on the south side of the State, or Heaton Road, which leads from the Poor-House, through New Salem, &c., and within five or six rods of the road (on land now of Joshua Woodward) are the remains of an old clearing of about one-fourth. of an acre, and within It the remains of an old chimney. Two or three rods south-eastward is a small spring, the drain of which leads off westward Into the “Burnt Cabin fork” of Dunlap’s or Nemacolin’s creek; and still further south, some four or five rods is the old trail, or path called Dunlap’s road, which we have heretofore traced. The story Is, that In very early times—perhaps about 1767, two men came over the mountains by this path to hunt, &c., and began an improvement at this clearing, and put up a small cabin upon it. While asleep in their cabin, some Indians came to it, and shot them, and then set fire to the cabin. Their names are unknown. So far as known, this Is the only case of the kind that ever occurred within our county limits.
