This Day...
October 30, 1270: Eighth Crusade comes to an ignominious end. The crusade started under the banner of France’s anti-Semitic King Louis IX. But he died of stomach ailment in August. Effective leadership devolved to Charles, King of Naples. The crusaders got no further than Tunis. The crusaders agreed to lift their siege of the Arab capital in exchange for commercial advantages. The crusaders went home having failed to accomplish any of their own noble aims. Considering the miseries that the Crusaders heaped on the Jews, they were just as glad to finally glad to see them come to an end after almost two centuries.[1]


October 30, 1340: At the Battle of Río Salado King Afonso IV of Portugal and King Alfonso XI of Castile defeated Muslim ruler Abu al-Hasan 'Ali of Marinid dynasty and Nasrid ruler Yusuf I. A Marinid victory would not have been a good thing for the Jews. In fact, Alfonso was greeted by crowds of cheering Jews when he returned to his capital. The victory was doubly important to the Jews of Spain and Portugal because the successors to both of these monarchs followed policies that were favorable to the Jewish people in their realms.[2]

October 30, 1682: Pope Innocent XI issued an edict by which all the money-lending activities carried out by the Roman Jews were to cease. However ultimately convinced that such a measure would cause much misery in destroying livelihoods, the enforcement of the edict was twice delayed.[3]


1683

The final contingent of Shawnees still in the Ohio country left there under war chief, Opeththa, in 1683 and journeyed to the Illinois River. Here they established themselves not far from present Starved Rock, where La Salle had the previous year erected Fort St. Louis. They had no trouble with him and his men but were not comfortable with his presence there. All too soon, with the Ohio River Valley slear of Shawnees, the Iroquois once again began to use the river as principal route for incursions against other tirbes and for bringing the spoils of their raids back to their own villages, theough in a more limited manner than before.[4]

1683 French Possessions in America, by King Louis XIV.[6]

1683: William Penn, an English Quaker, saw signs of the ancient Israelites in the Lenape Indians. “I am ready to believe them of the Jewish race, I mean of the stock of the Ten Tribes,” he wrote in 1683, citing a list of rituals with supposedly Jewish origins: “They agree in rites; they reckon by moons; they offer their first fruits; [and] they have a kind of Feast of Tabernacles.” There were so many Jews around, he said, that it was like being in the Jewish Quarter in London. [7]

October 30, 1735 Birthdate of John Adams, Founding Father and Second President of the United States. The correspondence of John Adams reflects the complexity with which Jews and Judaism were viewed in early national America. Most "enlightened" American Christians such as Adams saw Jews as an ancient people who, by enunciating monotheism, laid the groundwork for Christianity. He also saw them as individuals who deserved rights and protection under the law. Like many of his peers, Adams venerated ancient Jews and thought contemporary Jews worthy of respect, but found Judaism, the religion of the Jewish people, an anachronism and the Jewish people candidates for conversion to Christianity. In an 1808 letter criticizing the depiction of Jews by the French Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire, Adams expressed his respect for ancient Jewry. Adams wrote of Voltaire, "How is it possible [that he] should represent the Hebrews in such a contemptible light? They are the most glorious nation that ever inhabited this Earth. The Romans and their Empire were but a Bauble in comparison of the Jews. They have given religion to three quarters of the Globe and have influenced the affairs of Mankind more, and more happily, than any other Nation ancient or modern." Aware of Adams' benign view of Jews, American Jewish newspaper editor, politician, diplomat and playwright Mordecai Manuel Noah (1785-1851) maintained a correspondence with the former president. In 1818, Noah delivered a speech consecrating the new building erected by his own Congregation Shearith Israel, the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue in New York. Noah's "Discourse," a copy of which resides in the archives of the American Jewish Historical Society, focused on the universal history of Jewish persecution at the hands of non-democratic governments and their peoples. An early Zionist, Noah believed that only when the Jewish people were reestablished in their own home, with self-governance, could they live free of oppression. Noah sent a copy of his "Discourse" to Adams. Adams responded encouragingly to Noah, although the former president was evasive regarding Jewish self-governance. Adams expressed to Noah his personal wish that "your Nation may be admitted to all Privileges of Citizens in every Country of the World." Adams continued, This Country has done much. I wish it may do more, and annul every narrow idea in Religion, Government and Commerce. … It has please the Providence of the 'first Cause,' the Universal Cause [phrases by which Adams' defined G-d], that Abraham should give Religion, not only to the Hebrews but to Christians and Mahomitans, the greatest Part of the Modern civilized World." For Adams, Jews had earned their rights by virtue of their historic contributions and by virtue of their citizenship, but he did not respond to the idea of a Jewish homeland. Remarkably, a year later, Adams made the first pro-Zionist declaration by an American head of state, active or retired. In 1819, Noah sent Adams a copy of his recently published travel book, Travels in England, France Spain and the Barbary States. In his letter acknowledging the gift, Adams praised Noah's tome as "a magazine of ancient and modern learning of judicious observations & ingenious reflections." Adams expressed regret that Noah had not extended his travels to "Syria, Judea and Jerusalem" as Adams would have attended "more to [his] remarks than to those of any traveller I have yet read." Adams continued, "Farther I could find it in my heart to wish that you had been at the head of a hundred thousand Israelites . . . & marching with them into Judea & making a conquest of that country & restoring your nation to the dominion of it. For I really wish the Jews were again in Judea an independent nation." What was the source of Adams's Zionist sympathies? What moved him to make his extraordinary statement? A clue can be found in the next sentence of his letter: I believe [that] . . . once restored to an independent government & no longer persecuted they [the Jews] would soon wear away some of the asperities and peculiarities of their character & possibly in time become liberal Unitarian Christians for your Jeh-vah is our Jeh-vah & your G-d of Abraham Isaac and Jacob is our G-d. Alexis de Tocqueville observed, "The Americans combine notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to conceive the one without the other." Adams was clearly confident that freedom would lead the Jewish people to enlightenment and that enlightenment would lead them to Christianity. For Adams, Jewish self-governance in the Holy Land was a step toward their elevation. Today, our understanding of democracy includes respect for diversity and support for the retention of one's religious faith.[8]





1736: The Glass Family Dr. William H. Foote, author of Sketches of Virginia, published in 1855, in its first pages, introduces his readers to the first s­ettlers of the Shenandoah Valley, giving prominence to this Scotch-Irish family in this language: "Samuel Glass and Mary Gamble his wife, who came in their old age, from Ban Bridge, County Down, Ireland, and were among the early settlers, taking their abode on the Opecquon in 1736. His wife often spoke of "her two fair brothers that perished in the siege of Derry." Mr. Glass lived like a pat­riarch with his descendants. Devout in spirit, and of good report in religion, in the absence of the regular pastor, he visited the sick, to counsel and instruct and pray. His grandchildren used to relate in their old age, by way of contrast, circumstances showing the strict observance by families—Mr. Glass, in the midst of wild lands to be purchased at a low rate, thought sixteen hundred acres enough for himself and children."

The writer has been requested to write a sketch of this emigrant and his numerous family. The reader would be appalled at the outset, if he thought this request would be complied with. The scope of this volume can only embrace the foundation for sketches of the various lines emanating from the founder of Greenwood. To this task the writer will devote willingly his best efforts to unfold an intelligent tracing of every generation of this family from the emigrant down to the present date. This is all that can be done. This tracing can be regarded as reliable, taken as it is, from the only known genealogical chart of this family, kept by the Glass family of Frederick County for ages, and finally descending to one member of this family who kept in touch with the scattered tribe, and year after year added to each line the additions she gathered. This was the wife of the writer, who now holds it in sacred trust for his only child Annie Lyle Randolph. The knowledge of this chart caused numerous members of this family to make the request referred to. In sketches of Opeckon and other Presbyterian churches, found in this volume, the Glass family is necessarily mentioned. Ireland in the early part of the 18th Century, furnished many families renowned for their thrift and love of freedom, and a desire to try their fortunes beyond the narrow confines of their Emerald Isle. The Ulster people were the first to organize for emigration. Consulting Marmion's Maritime Ports of Ireland, we find that one hundred families sailed from Lough Foyle in 1718. They settled in New Hampshire. This colony became as famous in America as the Plymouth Colony. More distinguished men descended from this first Ulster emigration, than from the ilatter. In 1727, three thousand people sailed for the North American colonies from Belfast Lough. The following year seven ships took one thousand more; and in the next three years as many as fortytwo hundred. These emigrants were for the most part of Scotch origin. Their success in securing good "seatings" in the New World, induced many more to follow. We find that between the years 1720 and 1742, over three thousand emigrants annually left Ulster County alone. (Gordon's History of Ireland). The golden prospect in America was one reason for this. The oppressive land laws and the restrictions placed on all Irish industries, were the main causes, doubtless, for this desertion of the Island homes— Venturing the perilous voyage across the Atlantic in sail ships, with all the discomforts known to exist aboard the best of them, and requiring in many cases six months before they could land on American shores. It was during this great upheaval, that the subject of our sketch, severed every tie that bound him to his native land and, together with his sons and daughters and grandchildren, sought the Valley of the "Sherrandore." The writer has on his table "The Belfast Witness" bearing date March 10. 1877, which gives a comprehensive review of the periods mentioned, furnishing the names of many prominent families that left Ireland at that date. A clipping from the Belfast paper says: In 1736 a number of families emigrated from Benbridge and neighborhood, amongst them were members of the Glass, McDowell, Magill, Mulholland, Linn and other families. These people settled in the Shenandoah Valley on the banks of the Opeckon, Virginia" * * * This from the same paper: "Samuel Glass had six children: John, Eliza, Sarah, David, Robert and Joseph, all born at Benbridge." It is this Samuel Glass and his family that we now propose to trace after their arrival on the Opeckon. The family chart says: "Samuel Glass and his wife Mary Gamble, came from Ireland 1735, settled on the Opeckon 1736. They were advanced in life when they came, with children and grandchildren. He purchased 1,600 acres of land from Joyce Hite and Lord Fairfax, whose grants were divided by the Opeckon."

1736: In 1736, John Van Meter's son, Isaac, who has since moved to New Jersey, decided to explore western Virginia for himself. He traveled to present-day Moorefield and established his tomahawk rights to 400 acres of land. He then returned to his New Jersey home and upon his return the following year found James Coburn living on his land. After Isaac paid him some money to resolve the land dispute, James Coburn relocated to present-day Petersburg in Grant County.[10]

1736 – 1747
In 1736, Thomas Chew and his wife, Martha (Taylor), sold 200 acres of land on the east side of Wysell Run to Andrew2 Harrison. Five years later that tract was conveyed to Battaile3 Harrison. By 1747, Andrew2 Harrison had assembled a plantation of 1,800 acres, plus the adjoining 200 acres held by his son. [12]



October 30, 1754: Gist’s Plantation is destroyed

In a story that is well known, Washington began fortifications at Gist‘s Plantation, but then

retreated and built Fort Necessity, where he capitulated to a superior French Force. When the

French arrived at Gist‘s Plantation, they destroyed it. Gist applied for recompense for his loss,

which was recorded in the House of Burgesses on October 30, 1754 as follows:

A petition of Christopher Gist, was presented to the House and read, setting forth that he

had for some years past used his utmost endeavours to promote the settlement of His

Majesty‘s lands on the River Ohio, and had engaged a considerable number of families

to remove there from the adjoining provinces, which was prevented after the first of them

came there by a survey made by one William Russel, which included the land where the

first settlement was begun. That the petitioner, having settled there with his family, upon

the late incursions of the French His Majesty‘s forces, under the command of Colonel

Washington, encamped at the petitioner‘s plantation, and his Horses and Carriage being

employed in his Majesty‘s services, he was thereby prevented from removing the greatest

part of his effects, to the value of nearly two hundred pounds, which the French either

took away or destroyed, besides setting fire to all his houses, and fencing which had been

removed and used as a palisade for the security of His Majesty‘s forces, to a

considerable value; and praying that this House will be pleased to make him such

allowance for repairing his losses as they shall think fit; as he has been, and still shall

be, ready on all occasions to resign his life, and small fortune, in promoting the settlement of that part of His Majesty‘s Dominions, so necessary to the preservation and

interest of all his American plantations.[13]

October 30, 1770: . Incampd Early just by the old Shawna Town distant from our last no more than 15 Miles.

Shawnee Town appears on Lewis Evans’s i 766 map of the middle colonies just north of the confluence of the Ohio and the Great Kanawha rivers.[15]





October 30th, 1770—We set out about fifty minutes past seven, the weather being windy and cloudy, after a night of rain. After about two miles, we came to the head of a bottom, in the shape of a horse-shoe, which I judge to be about six miles round; the beginning of the bottom appeared to be very good land, but the lower part did not seem so friendly. The upper part of the bottom we encamped on, was exceedingly good, bitt the lower part rather thin land, covered with beech. In it is some clear meadow land, and a pond or lake. ‘This bottom begimis just below the rapid at the point of the Great Bend. The river from this place narrows very considerably, and for five or six miles is scarcely more than one hundred and fifty or two hundred yards over. The water yesterday, except the rapid at the Great Bend, and some swift places about the islands, was quite dead, and as easily passed one way as the other; the land in general appeared level and good.

About ten miles below our enc3mpment, and a little lower down than the bottom described to lie in the slmape of a horse-shoe, comes in a small creek on the west side, and opposite to this on the east, begins a body of flat land, which the Indians tell us runs quite across the fork to the falls in the Kenhawa, and must at least be three days’ walk across ; if so, the flat land contained therein, must be very considerable. A mile or two below this, we landed, and after getting a little distance from the river, we came, without rising, to a pretty lively kind of land, grown up with hickory and oak of different kinds, intermingled with walnut. We also found many shallow ponds, the sides of which, abounding with grass, invited innumerable quantities of wild fowl, among which I saw a couple of birds[16] in size between a swat) amId a goose, and in color some what between the two, being darker than time young swan, and of a more sooty color. ‘The cry of these birds was as singular as the birds themselves ; I never heard any noise resembling it before. About five miles below this, we encamped in a bottom of good land, which holds tolerably flat and rich for some distance. [17]



October 30, 1777: There is a shortage of provisions and food which can be bought. The inhabitants bring us nothing and the rations are the worst imaginable. On their faces their malice and hatred toward us can be seen. We are not allowed to take the least thing here in the province nor to do anything to them. This only increases their evil the more and therefore we have to be more careful of the farmers than of the enemy soldiers…[18]

was one of early births in Clark Co.

A brief history of Moorefield Township where Conrad settled appeared in “The History of Clark County “Ref. 9.4). Reference is made herein to the Newlove’s in Harmony Township which is adjacent to Clark on the South. I find no link to Goodlove at this time. Simon Kenton and George Rogers Clark are the heroes of Clark County and MoorefieldTownship.

Conrad would have learned from Caty’s brother, Theophylus, of the great Indian-White Council held in 1807 at Springfield (Ref 9.5) which we discovered in an old newspaper article at the Springfield Library. Conrad would have remembered George Washington as he was just seven years old when Jefferson became second president in 1803.[21]

In 1807, two men named Bowyer and Morgan, brothers in law, had settled in the southwestern part of the county, and made a clearing. As the country was open, the Indians, in their hunting expeditions, built lodges near by, which Morgan one day burned. This exasperated the Indians, who sought revenge in shooting Bowyer, whom, by accident, they had mistaken for Morgan. The killing was done in sight of the wives of the two men, who, with their children, fled and hid in a thicket. Five Indians passed close by them and approached the body, and finding thay had shot the wrong man, passed on without carrying off any plunder or committing any depredations. It gave geat alarm to the country. Morgan left the country, and many returned to Kentucky. Henry Weaver, long an old resident of Urbana, then a mere lad, was among the few who refused to leave. A deputatuion from Urbana, among them Joseph Vance, went down to William Lemon’s to make note of matters and bury the body. They reported that the killing indicated a prvate grudge, and that there was no cause for general alarm. Mary Lemon rode to Urbgana on horseback behind Joseph Vance, as was the custom. In December of that year (1807), Joseph Vance and Mary Lemon were married.[22] Joseph(4), Joseph Coleville(3), David(2), Andrew(1).

The killing of Bowyer caused very general alarm, and brought in messages of peace from the Indians. A general meeting of the Indians was held at Springfield, and some of the chiefs stopped at Urbana to talk the matter over. Col. Ward and Simon Kenton were present. Ward exhibited great excitement in talk and manner, while Kenton, throughout, remained composed and silent.[23] His knowledge of the Indian character made him take this course and gave an effectiveness to his words when the time came for him to speak.[24]



1807

Springfield was Scene of Great Indian-White Council Held In 1807

Most import of the historical happening that have occurred in the confines of Springfield and one that may have averted an Indian war that would have blotted Springfield, from the map was the great council held in fall of 1807 on ground at the northwest intersection of Main and Spring st., now occupied by the Springfield Rug and Furniture Co.



Local historians have disputed over this council and there are different accounts of what transpired. It is agreed that Tecumseh and McPherson, the two Indian chiefs of the day met there with leaders in the western part of the state to discuss Indian outrages that had driven the settlers around Springfield into a state of terror, sent families flying southward to Kentucky while others had taken refuge in Springfield and stronger houses like the Foos Tavern and a building at the southeast corner of High and Main sts. Had been fortified as citadels



The cover page of the historical section of this issue depicts the scene of the council with Tecumseh disdainfully rejecting the pipe of Governor Edward Tiffin and using his own tomahawk pipe.

Simon Kenton, noted pioneer of the west, present at the council, wanted to kill Tecumseh, arguing that he would cause trouble in future, but his proposal was rejected, according to the Draper manuscripts.

The outrages referred to included killing of a man named Myers near Urbana, the threatening demeanor of an Indian who had called at the Elliott home west of Springfield, close to what was later the Peter Sintz farm. The Indian driven away from the farm, is supposed to have been the one whom a few days later, fired at Mrs. Elliott, the bullet passing through the front of her sunbonnet and grazing her throat.

All accounts agree that Tecumseh, McPherson, Roundhead, and other Indian chiefs led parties of warriors to the council and were met there by representatives of the whites that after three days, the Indians left, having satisfied the whites that as a people they were not responsible for the outrages.


Local historians differ as to the precise location of the council. The Daughters of the American Revolution have placed the tablet commemorative of the event on the Tuttle Bros. Store, which stood where the double log tavern of Griffith Foos then was.


Dr. John Ludlow in the Ludlow papers written in the 70’s, largely relied upon R.C. Woodward, an historian, who wrote in 1852 when the early settlers were still living, and is said y Albert Slager, curator of the Clark County Historical Society to have supplemented his story by talks with the father of Cooley McCord, great grandson of Simon Kenton, now resident in Springfield. Beers in county history follows Ludlow and places the council in the sugar grove across the street from the Foos Tavern. Old residents locate the sugar grove also on the slope the hill north of Main st.

Ludlow an Beers speak of General Benjamin Whiteman, Maj. Moore, Walter Smallwood, Captain Ward and Simon Kenton, John Daugherty, Dr. Richard Hunt and Griffith Foos as being at the council, but do not mention Governor Tiffin. The Ludlow and Beers accounts say Tecumseh threw away the pipe of Dr Hunt, and Hunt shrank back in consternation before Tecumseh’s fierce disgust at the dirty, cheap looking pipe.

Theophilos McKinnon, a resident of London in 1880 sent to the Piqua Battle a paper stating he came to Springfield in 1803 and that Gov. Tiffin had called the council, and when it was seen the Indians were armed, had asked that they remove their arms. Tecumseh refused to part with his tomahawk, which was later seen to be his pipe also. Then Hunt offered his pipe to Tiffin, who offered it to Tecumseh, with the result that Tecumseh hurled it over his shoulder into the bushes behind him with such a fierce ejaculation of disgust that Hunt retreated hurriedly.


It may have been at this juncture that Simon Kenton advised the killing of Tecumseh on the ground that he would later make trouble. Albert Slager has this information relative to Tecumseh in response to inquiries made of the Wisconsin Historical Society, which quotes the number of the Draper massacre.

McKinnons account upon which the presence of Tiffin is based was published in the Springfield Republic of August 12th 1880 and is a well written article. How the presence of Tiffin, the governor could have escaped mention in the other local historical accounts is a puzzle. It would have seemed to have been from the viewpoint of that day the outstanding feature of the council.

McKinnon’s account seems plausible since outrages would be reported to the governor, would cause him concern and he would e the natural party to call the council and the Indians would respond far more readily to a call from the governor than from a body of citizens. The fact that many of the Indians came from as far as Fort Wayne, show it was taken seriously. The governor having called the council and brought the chiefs that far could hardly disregard either the Indians orthe fears of the whites and his proper place would have been at the council as McKinnon says he was.


How the fact should have slipped the memory of the men who talked to Woodward and those who handed down traditions to Ludlow is a mystery. The latter dwell upon Hunt offering the pipe. Tecumseh seems to have filled the eyes of the assemblage to the exclusion of all else and if Tiffin was there no better measurement of the natural power of Tecumseh can be found than that he obscured Governor Tiffin who was among the most ( ) governors of the state.[25]

Edgar (No. 7, and John Bietze (No. 8). WTownship boardinch, Sill, Wilson, and Dighton were all leaders in the Buck Creek Brotherhood and enthusiastic supporters of consolidation, while James Kehoe, McGinn, W. J. Kehoe, and Edgar were Catholics and equally vociferous in their defense of the country school. Beitz, a member of the Buck Creek Church, was undecided but leaning in favor of consolidation at Buck Creek, provided his neighborhood, the Union No. 8 subdistrict, excluded. Johnson, too, supported the idea of consolidation but preferred that the eastern half of the No.l 6 subdistrict, including his farm , be excludedfrom a Buck Creek consolidated distreict so that it might one day be included in the Hopkinton district. According to Jonson, this area was close to Hopkinton than it weas to the Buck Creek Church and on those grounds whould be excluded. Numerically then, the Union Township board was as divided on the consolidation question in the fall of 1919 as it had been in the sporing of 1915. Only now, the division was deeper and sharply polarized along mutually reinforcing lines of religion. Except for the No. 5 subdistrict, there Winch and James Kehoe in effect were co directors, every director favoring consolidation was from a subdistrict in which Buck Creek Methodists were in the majority.Every director opposing it was a Catholic from a subdistrict in which Catholics were in the majority.[27]

October 30, 1941: Four thousand of the 4,500 Jews of Nesvizh are killed, and the remaining Jews are put into a ghetto.[28]

October 30, 1978: Karim Sanjabi, leader of the opposition National Front Party, met in Paris with Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini. The Ayatollah had told a French newspaper that he favored the replacement of the Shah by an Islamic Republic; Mr. Sanjabi was believed to prefer a reformed monarchical system. No statement was issued after the meeting.[30].

[16] Birds. When the Europeans arrived in the New World, the absence of many specie of birds was compensated by the sight of others. They missed seeing and hearing sparrows, magpies, nightingales, larks, cuckoos, and others. The Indians hunted birds mostly during the migration periods of April, May, September, and October. Preferred birds included Canada geese and several ducks (wood, merganser, mallard, teal, etc.). Northwestern PA is a center for bird hunting with prime areas around Presqu’ isle, Pymatuning, and Conneaut.
