October 9, 768: Carloman I and Charlemagne are crowned Kings of the Franks. Charlemagne treated his Jewish subjects well, even if it meant parting from the doctrine of the Church. “Disputes between Jews were resolved in Jewish courts.” The increased protection and freedom offered to the Jerws by Charlegmagne resulted in increased commercial and financial activity, especially trade with the Islamic world.[1]
October 9, 1238: In Spain, King James I of Aragon founded the Kingdom of Valencia. [2]
Edward I, called Longshanks (1239-1307), King of England (1272-1307), of the house of Plantagenet. He was born in Westminster on June 17, 1239, the eldest son of King Henry III. [3] Edward is famed for the “Model Parliament.” He is known to American filmgoers as the King who tortured and killed William Wallace. In Jewish history, he is the monarch who expelled the Jews from his realm in 1290, having extracted every economic advantage from them that was possible. Jews would not return as a community until the final days of the Tudors.[4]
Edward I, is the compilers 21st great grandfather.
Not only the Jews themselves, but also their books are attacked. In 1239, Pope Gregory orders the Talmud to be put on trial because it allegedly contains lies about the life of Christ and the Blessed Virgin. The Talmud is ordered confiscated and burned. The Talmud remains a target of suspicion until the 20th century.
Panel by Berruguete, 15th century.

1239: Following the denunciation of a converted Jew named Nikolas Donin of La Rochelle, Pope Gregory IX was informed in in 1239 that the Jeds were guided in their practices not by the biblical injunctions and tabboos as transmitted by Moses in Sinai but by a monstrous collection of books entitled Talmud. Various committees were appointed, mainly in France. [6]

October 9, 1710
3. Andrew Harrison, ~‘r,2 (Andrew ‘), is clearly traceable through the records of Essex, Spotsylvania and OrangeCounties. “On October 9, 1710, Andrew Harrison, Senior; of Essex County, conveyed to his son Andrew Harrison, land whereon the said Andrew Harrison, Senior, lived, containing 130 acres in Essex County, purchased of John Prosser, on the south side of the Rappahannock River, in the freshes thereof; the said Andrew Harrison, Senior, & Elinor, his wife, to live on the said land, during their lives. Witnesses to this deed were James Harrison and William Williams. Y “On October 9, 1710, Andrew Harrison, Senior, conveyed to his son, Andrew Harrison, Junior, 200 acres, part of 400 acres proportionable part of a patent granted to the said Andrew Harrison, Senior, Richard Long & Samuel Elliot; being forest land on the south side of Rappahannock River, bounded by land of my son William Harrison, John Buckner, Richard Buckner, Larkin Chew & Richard Long. Witnesses: James Harrison and William Williams.” [8]
1711: Plague breaks out in Austria. [9]
The First George Cutlip: 1711
If the German George Cutlip presented here was not our first ancestor, those who propose an English background will have to produce an English George very much like this German George. According to his military record our George was born in 1711 and 38 years later decided to move to the New World and to chase the American Dream.[10]
Gottlieb sounds like Cutlip: As my father has told me since I was a young boy, “Gottlieb, said by a German, sounds like Cutlip”, to an English speaking person. I imagine the same would hold true for Gottlop.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, followers of the German Pietist movement believed that people should have a close personal relationship with God. Some gave they children names like Gotthelf "God, help!" or Gottlob "Praise God" or Furchtegott "Fear God." Furchtegott is a translation of the Greek name Timothy which also means "fear of God". It would have been around this time that the older name "Gottleib" began to be reinterpreted to mean "love of God" rather than "heir of God." As a name meaning "God Love" it was equivalent to the Latin "Amadeus" which means "love God." Christians focusing on biblical Greek will often cite three Greek words for love: Eros (romantic love), Philia (love between friends) and Agape (spiritual love). Agape is rarely used in names or words, but Philia often is, e.g. Philadelphia (the city of brotherly love), Anglophile (someone with a love of English things), Philosophy (love of knowledge) and the name "Theophilos" (someone haveing a friendly love for God). So, yes, it means "friend of God" but the word it uses is a particular type of love.[11]
1711 : Johann Andreas Eisenmenger writes his ‘Entdecktes Judenthum’ (“Judaism Unmasked”), a work denouncing Judaism and which had a formative influence on modern antisemitic polemics.[12]
1711
Indian School at William & Mary. "There was also a common school for Indian boys. The master received forty or fifty pounds sterling, which was to be paid from the rents of the Brafferton estate, in Yorkshire, in which the funds left by the Hon. Robert Boyle “for pious and charitable uses” had been invested by decree of the High Court of Chancery in Great Britain. The attendance on this school was augmented by boys from the town, whom the master was authorized to charge 20s. a year each. “Reading, writing, and vulgar arithmetic” were the subjects embraced."
(1711) A letter from Governor Spottswood to Lord Dartmouth in 1711 indicates that there were 25 Indian children at the College. He states “These Indians express much satisfaction at the treatment that is given their children. They often grieve that they were not so fortunate as to have had such advantages in their younger days. Based on several histories, the Indians had an entirely different view as many were coerced to attend. (1713) A report states that “Virginia demanded and received two hostages from each tributary Indian village. Governor Spotswood though that this was the best way to keep these Amerindians peaceful, while giving some of the most talented of their numbers an English style education. By 1713 there were seventeen of these students being educated by the College of William and Mary. [13]
1711–1715 – The Tuscarora War, in which the Cherokee participated with other tribes against their long-time Tuscarora enemies as allies of the Province of South Carolina. The remaining Tuscarora, an Iroquoian-speaking people, migrated north to New York, where they had joined the Iroquois as the Sixth Nation by 1722.[14]
October 9, 1715
The MacKinnons have been throughout the majority of their history a small clan with a strong sense of honor, even to a fault as as evidenced with their conviction to the Jacobite cause in 1715 and 1745 after which they were dispossed of their lands. [15]
In 1715 Ian dubh the chief of MacKinnon (grandson of Lachlan Mhore, his father Ian having died vita parentis,) was summoned by the Lord Advocate in the Hanoverian interest, to appear at Edinburgh, under the pain of a year's imprisonment, to give bail for his allegiance to George I. and the government. He rushed immediately into insurrection for the Stuart cause, and gathering one hundred and fifty of his clan joined MacKenzie Earl of Seaforth, in time to fight side by side with his neighbor MacDonald of Sleat, at the battle of Sheriffmuir , September, 1715, an obstinate engagement which the Jacobites claimed as a victory.[16]
On October 9th of the same year (1715) they marched to attack the Earl of Sutherland, who however declined an engagement and retired to Bonar, where his force dispersed. Soon after this the Chevalier appeared amongst his adherents at Perth, but lost heart at seeing the paucity of their numbers. and advising them to seek safety by retreating northwards in a body under General Gordon (which they did in admirable order), fled himself to France on February 4th, 1716, and the Rebellion was at an end. The chief of MacKinnon was attainted for the part he took in the rebellion, but received a pardon on January 4th, 1727. [17]
1716
Valentine Crawford married Honora Grimes in 1716 in Virginia.[18]
Mary Crawford born. (She marries John Munn.)[19]
1716
(1716) "The Rector acquainting the Visitors and Governors that upon Mr. Jackson’s declining to teach the Indian children that he had appointed Mr. Christopher Smith (9th greatgranduncle) to succeed him in employment and that sd Christopher Smith is hereby approved of as a Master to that sd Indian *** and ordered that he have the same allowance of Sallary that was given to Mr. Jackson.” Mr Jackson was Christopher Jackson. Christopher was probably a teacher before that time. Mr Jackson was paid 50 pounds sterling. The grammer school also educated white children from Williamsburg.(May 6, 1716) On the petition of Christopher Smith, Master to the Indian Children Ord. that, on consideration that there are but few of them now at school, he be allowed 25 pounds per annum, that he have pasturage for his horse, firewood for his chamber and the liberty of teaching such English children as shall be put to him and that a partition be erected at the charge of the College to separate the said English children from the Indians. Masters and Visitors of the College of William and Mary. William and Mary Quarterly, v. 7, page. 235. Williamsburg students paid 20 shillings per annum to attend school.
Christopher's death is commonly given as 1716. William & Mary records indicate that he was not replaced as Indian Master until sometime in 1720 when Reverend Charles Griffin was hired. [20]

…Lord Dunmore and his army, in more than 100 canoes, piroques and a few large keelboats, had just landed at the mouth of the Hockhocking and made camp, with orders for the march to begin first thing in the morning. Dunmore then inspected the small fort that had been built by Capt. Crawford and approved of the good job that had been done. He named the place Fort Gower and promoted William Crawford to the rank of major.[23]
Monday, October 9th, 1775
On my way to Major Crawford’s saw the vestiges of an old fortification. It appears to me that this country has been inhabited by a race of people superior in military knowledge to the present Indians. In different parts of the country there are the vestiges of regular fortifications, and it is well known the Indians have not the least knowledge of that art. When, or by whom, these places were built. I leave to more able antiquarians than I am to determine. Fortunately for me Zachariah Connel is going over the Mountain tomorrow and will find me a horse to go along with him. Returned to V. Crawford’s.[24]
Archaeologists say that people were living here for about 12,000 years before Europeans arrived on the scene.(This coincides with the ending of the last ice age.) From 900 A.D. to about 1650, the area was inhabited by what are known now as the Monongahela People. They lived in stockaded villages of a couple of dozen houses. They farmed, growing corn, beans and squash along the floodplains and terraces of major rivers. They left in a cloud of mystery; none still lived here when the Europeans came over the mountains. No Native American sites are accessible to the general public, but Ancient habitations have been identified along the trail at Cumberland, Meyersdale, Fort Hill, Confluence, Connellsville, the Sewickley Creek area and McKeesport. The Indians that moved here after the Monongahelas were refugees from the east: the Delawares (Lenape), the Shawnee and later the Iroquois. These were the people encountered by the first French and English traders who came down the rivers and over the mountains.[25]
October 9, 1777: Washington had sent Greene (Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Greene, 1st Rhode Island Regiment) to Red Bank, and wrote him on October 9: “The post with which you are entrusted is of the utmost importance to America. . . . The whole defense of the Delaware absolutely depends upon it; and consequently all the enemy’s hopes of keeping Philadelphia and finally succeeding in the object of the present campaign” (Heston, South Jersey, I, 165).

October 9, 1945: After his trial in Paris, Pierre Laval, head of the Vichy Government is executed by firing squad. General Petain was the titular head of the Vichy Government. Laval really ran the show. Vichy was the name of the French collaborationist government thaqt worked with the Nazis during World War II. Vich’s supporters included France’s own, home-grown anti-Semites. The Vichy government was so eager to integrate itself with the New German Order, that it was rounding up Jews and turning them over to the Nazis before the Nazis asked them to do so.[37]

I get email!
From Jane Kenny,
When we went to Ireland Trinity College had an exhibit of Napoleon. They had many tapestries showing Napoleon and his body guards. The boys and I had fun trying to figure out which one was our g.g.g.g.g.g.g.g…..grandfather J
Joseph LeClere, our 5th great grandfather was one of Napoleans bodyguards. His family would move to Dubuque, Iowa. My guess is that the good looking one is our relative.
