This Day…
In December 1095 the Jewish communities of northern France wrote to their co-religionists in Germany to warn them that the Crusading movement was likely to cause trouble to their race. There were reports of a massacre of the Jews at Rouen. It is unlikely that such a massacre in fact occurred; but the Jews were sufficiently alarmed for Peter the Hermit to bring off a successful stroke of business. Hinting , no doubt, that otherwise he might find it difficult to restrain his followers, he obtained from the French Jews letters of introduction to the Jewish communities throughout Europe, calling upon them to welcome him and to supply him and his army with all the provisions that he might require.[1]
About the same time Godfrey of Bourillon, Duke of Lower Lorraine, began his preparations to start out on the Crusade. A rumour ran round the province that he had vowed before he left to avenge the death of Christ with the blood of the Jews. Tnh terror the Jews of the Rhineland induced Kalonymos, chief Rabbi of Mainz, to write to Godfrey’s overlord, the emperor Henry IV, who had always shown himself a friend to their race, to urge him to forbid the persecution. At the same time, to be on the safe side, the Jewish communities of Mainz and Cologne each offered the Duke the sum of five hundred pieces of silver. Henry wrote to his chief vassals, lay and ecclesiastic, to bid them guarantee the safety of all the Jews on their lands. Godfrey, having already succeeded in his blackmail, answered that nothing was further from his thoughts than persecution, and gladly gave the requested guarantee.[2]
1096: German Crusade, 1096.[3]
December 10, 1728: David Vance (My 2nd Cousin 6 Times Removed) was born January 13, 1755, the Son of Samuel Vance Jr. born 10-December 10, 1728, and Agnes "Penquite" Vance born May 16, 1730. He later married Mary Wolsey.[4].
December 10, 1752: Trent reports to the Lieutenant-governor of Virginia
Beginning on page 73, Goodman‘s book provides a copy of a December 10, 1752 letter from
Lieutenant-Governor Robert Dinwiddie to the Board of Trade that mentions the destruction of
Pickawillany. Part of this letter states:
Since my last letter to your Lordships, Mr. William Trent, who was sent from the Ohio
(by the commissioners from this) to the Twightwees, with part of His Majesty‘s present
for that nation, returned some time since, and enclosed I send your Lordships a copy of
his journal there and back to this government, by which you‘ll please observe the risk he
run, and the miserable condition he found these poor people in; their town taken, and
many of their people killed by the French and Indians in amity with them, and many of
the English traders ruined, being robbed of their goods, some killed and others carried
away prisoners; and all this, as I am informed, is under the conduct of the French from
Canada, or New Orleans, on the Mississippi, the Indians having declared to our traders
that the French promised to give them one hundred crowns for every white scalp they
bring them; there are no other white people trading there but the English subjects and
the French, so it is obvious they would encourage the Indians to murder our traders in
cool blood. (Scalping is cutting the skin round the head, and by the hair drawing it off
quite to the eyes.) The French traders from Canada have met our traders in the woods
and robbed them of all their skins and goods; if they have applied to me for protection,
and power to make reprisals, which I by no means would grant, as we are at peace with
the French, but I pray your Lordships‘ directions how to behave on such applications for
the future, as I think the British subjects are under great oppression and severities from
the French traders in their villainous robberies. And till the line is run between
Pennsylvania and this, His Majesty‘s Dominion, so as to ascertain our limits, I can not
appoint magistrates to keep the traders in good order, as the Pennsylvanians dispute the
right of this government to the river Ohio. Since the arrival of Mr. Trent, as above, the Twightwees have sent one Thomas Burney, express, who brought me a belt of wampum, a
scalp of one of the Indians that are at war with them and in the interest of the French,
with a calmute pipe (being an emblem of peace with those they send it to), and two
letters, copy thereof I here enclose to your Lordships; they are of an odd style, but are
copied literally as I received them.
Certainly the Ohio Company activities and Trent‘s fort building activities at the Forks of the
Ohio (Chapter 6) helped to precipitate the French and Indian War. From the various passages
quoted above, one can see that English trade via the Twightwee Indian road also helped to
precipitate the war42. During the course of the war, the Twightwee Indians once again allied
themselves with the French, and sometimes ventured back to the Wills Creek area on raids.43[5][6]
1752
The head of this line in this country was John Dodson, born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England in 1752.[7]
1753: Samuel Vance Jr. married Agnes Penquite (My 1st Cousin 6 Times Removed, By Marriage) in 1753. Samuel vance Jr. (My 1st Cousin 6 Times Removed) was born 10-Dec-1728, the s/o Samuel Vance (My 6th Great Uncle) b. 1691, and Sarah "Blackburn" Vance (My 6th Great Aunt) b. 1709. Agnes Penquite (My 1st Cousin 6 Times Removed, By Marriage) was born 16-May-1730.
1753: Jane "Martin" Vance died in 1753. She was the Wife of Alexander Vance Sr. born 1725, the Son of John Vance, born 1699, and Elizabeth "LNU" Vance.[8]
1753
Stewart's Crossing was on the Youghiogheny River below present-day Connellsville, Pa. The site was named for William Stewart, who settled there in 1753. [9]
To Pennsylvania: 1753
Most likely, during the summer of 1753 the family moved to Lancaster Co., PA— a heavily German-populated area. [10]
1753: By 1753, branches of a second road, financed by the Ohio Company, went to the present-day areas of Brownsville[11] and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At least part of the Ohio Company road was laid out and marked by the Indian Nemacolin.[12]
As to the controversy with Connecticut: Beginning in 1753, a
company called the Susquehanna Company formed of associators
in Connecticut, conceiving that that colony had jurisdiction over
certain lands within the limits of Pennsylvania, jumped across
both New York and New Jersey, sat down along the North branch
of the River Susquehanna, and laid out and named seventeen
towns (or what we would call townships), in the most beautiful
valleys along that river. These towns were made to contain about
twenty-five square miles of territory each, and their boundaries
were not coterminous with the boundaries of any of the municipal
divisions of Pennsylvania, but, settlers crowding into them under
titles granted by the Susquehanna Company, the General Assembly
of Connecticut created these townships into a new county called
Westmoreland, and attached it to the jurisdiction of Litchfield
County, Connecticut. This Connecticut County, wholly inside of
1753: Pennsylvania and separated from -the parent colony by New York and New Jersey, embraced lands lying in what is now Luzerne, Susquehanna, Wyoming and Bradford counties, Pennsylvania, a
large portion of the northeastern part of our State. Then followed between the Pennsylvania settlers and the -Connecticut claimants actual war and bloodshed, called the Pennamite and Yankee War,
suspended only by the revolution of the American Colonies from the mother country in 1776.[13]
1753; Jews expelled from Kovad (Lithuania).[14]
1753: — The French begin to build a chain of forts to enforce
their boundaries.[15]
Gate to Fort de Chartres
1753
In Illinois, Fort de Chartres began to be rebuilt in stone. It was finished three years later at a cost of 5 million livres.[16]
A deed of 1753 concerning the purchase of a Negro woman identifies Daniel McKinnon as a schoolmaster in Anne Arundel County. [17]
Daniel McKinnon becomes the headmaster of Queen Anne Parish School in 1753. [18]
Educational facilities in earlier days were very meagre, hence, the Rev. Daniel MfcKinnon had to rely upon his own ingenuity to supply missing needs. Mrs George Rogers, of Morgantown, West Virgina, has a valued relic, much faded and worn, a text book, prepared by the Rev. Daniel McKinnon, containing arithmetic tables, grammar rules, hymns, prayers, and quotations, in his own writing, for use in teaching his children. A page from this book is reproduced here.[19]
1753–1755 – The time of the Cherokee-Muscogee War, which culminated in the Battle of Taliwa.[20]
DECEMBER 1754
December 10, 1754
Hanna describes the Pickawillany path from Logstown to Pickawillany
Chapter VIII of Charles Hanna‘s 1911 book ―The Wilderness Trail‖ includes a 42-page chapter titled ―The Pickawillany Path‖ that provides another detailed look at events concerning Pickawillany. It describes the path from Logstown to Pickawillany as follows:
When Gist travelled from Logstown to the Lower Shawnee Town, he followed the Main
Path as far as to Hockhocking, which led both to Lower Shawnee Town and to
Pickawillany. This path divided some fifteen to twenty miles west of Hockhocking (now
Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio), the main branch leading southwards along the Scioto
to the Lower Shawnee Town at its mouth; and the newer branch leading westward to
Pickawillany. The path forked at or in the neighborhood of Maguck, which stood on the
Pickaway Plains, in the present county of Pickaway, some three and one-half miles south
of Circleville. Maguck, according to Gist‘s distances, was fifteen miles southwest of
Hockhocking. The distance between Lancaster, Ohio, and Circleville, to-day, by the
Cincinnati & Muskingum Valley Railroad, is twenty-one miles; so that Maguck was quite
that far from Hockhocking. On his map of 1755, Lewis Evans shows the trail leading
from Hockhocking, or French Margaret's Town, westward to Pickawillany; and crossing
the Scioto at a point a few miles north of a Delaware town which Evans locates on the
west bank of Scioto, and which may be intended for Maguck. At the point where the trail
reaches the west bank, Evans shows that it was intersected by a north and south trail
connecting the Wyandot town on Sandusky Bay with the Lower Shawnee Town. From the
point of this intersection, the Pickawillany Path leads in a southwest direction, ―35
miles,‖ to the head waters of the Little Miami River, and three miles beyond to the
crossing of Mad Creek; thence, almost directly, west, ―30 miles,‖ to ―Picque Town,‖ orPickawillany. Gist stated that, to have returned with Croghan from Mad Creek to
Maguck, while on his way back to the Lower Shawnee Town, would have taken him some
sixty or seventy miles out of his way. As a matter of fact, the site of Pickawillany is distant
from the site of Maguck some sixty-eight miles west, and forty-five miles north; or about
eighty-one miles on a direct line.
As no record of the path between these two points has been preserved, we can only
assume that its general direction was northwest (though Evans‘s map makes the course
southwest), across the present counties of Pickaway, Madison, Clark, Champaign,
Logan, and Miami. One of the later Indian trails, which may have followed the course of
the old Pickawillany Path, ran from the Scioto up the Darby Valley for some twenty
miles, then proceeded in a northwest direction to Deer Creek, following that stream,
possibly on the west side, to its head; thence across the head waters of Buck Creek,
crossing Mad River above the present city of Urbana; thence southwest across the head
of Rush Creek to the Great Miami. Governor Horatio Sharpe wrote from Maryland to
Governor Morris, December 10, 1754, that he had ―received advice that about 300
French families have settled this Fall at the Mad Creek, a great deal on this side the
Twigtwee Town, and not far from the Maguak [Maguck].‖[21]

Col. William Crawford (Anc. No. 454) was a Judge of this Court. His name could appear above either as brother-in-law or as Judge or as neighbor.[24]
December 10, 1777
Another theory that has been suggested is that after the death of Margaret, Joseph Howard Sr. may have no longer needed to keep Eleanor's birth secret. However, Eleanor was never mentioned in his will written December 10, 1777 (after the death of his wife Margaret and shortly before Eleanor's marriage to John) or in the disposition of his estate. Therefore it appears unlikely that this theory has merit.
Also, it could be argued that if she learned of the content of Joseph Howard Sr.'s December 1777 will and that she was not included, this could have been her motivation for declaring it on the marriage license.
In light of the evidence found which applies to both Eleanor McKinnon and Eleanor Howard and the fact that no evidence found contradict the assumption that Eleanor McKinnon are the same, it is a reasonable conclusion that they are in fact the same person.
Unfortunately, the above still leaves many questions open such as when and by whom were they married, what happened between 1778 and when they arrived in Hamilton County, Ohio in 1795, why William had the middle name Beal, etc. But, a s anyone experienced in research knows, all questions are rarely answered.[25]

John Jay is appointed President of the Continental Congress.[27]
1793 - December 10 - By act of the General Assembly, the town of Cynthiana was established on the east side of the South Fork of Licking opposite the mouth of Gray's Run, on land of Robert Harrison in Bourbon County. Trustees: Benjamin Harrison, Morgan Van Matre, Jeremiah Robinson, John Wall, Sr., Henry Coleman. [28]
December 10, 1793: Acts of the Second General Assembly of Kentucky in 1793. An act to establish a town, on the lands of Robert Harrison, in the county of Bourbon, was approved December 10, 1793. Said town to be established by the name of Cynthiana and the property thereof vested in Benjamin Harrison (a representative in the legislature from Bourbon County) Morgan Van Matrte, Jeramiah Robinson, John Wall, Sr and Henry Coleman, trusatees; a majority of them directed to sell lots in the 100 acre tract, Robert Harrison to issue deeds in fee.
The Town was laid out in half acre lots, the purchaser was required, within four years of purchase, to have built a house no smaller than 16 X 18 feet, house to have a masonry chimney. If these conditions were not met, the trustees were empowered to resell the lot for the best price and turn the money over to the town.[29]
By an act of the same assembly, Harrison County was formed from parents of Bourbon and Scott Counties and named for, in honor of, Benjamin Harrison, chairman of the board of trustees. Cyntiana was made the County Seat and named in honor of Cynthia and Anna, daughters of Robert Harrison, who gave the County Court Square. The square originally extended from the first cross over (later named Pike Street), To the second cross over (later named Pleasant Street.[30]
1794 Hannah returns to Pennsylvania and lives with Sally Springer and receives pension from Pennsylvania (22 years).[31]
This is a fragment of the 1794 Dennis Griffith map, which was printed in 1795. Tomlinson’s Mill was located near the location of present-day Corriganville, as shown by a waterwheel icon.[32]
On December 10, 1810 Carl Philipp Gottfried von[1] Clausewitz married the socially prominent Countess Marie von Brühl and socialized with Berlin's literary and intellectual elite. She was a member of the noble German von Brühl family originating in Thuringia. They first met in 1803.
Von Clausewitz's Christian names are sometimes given in non-German sources as "Carl Philipp Gottlieb" or "Carl Maria", because of reliance on mistaken source material, conflation with his wife's name, Marie, or mistaken assumptions about German orthography. He spelled his own given name with a "C" in order to identify with the classical Western tradition; writers who wrongly use "Karl" are seeking to emphasize his German identity. "Carl Philipp Gottfried" appears on Clausewitz's tombstone and thus is most likely to be correct.[33]

• December 10, 2001 (My Uncle Howard Snell, Pearl Harbor Survivor)
A nation awakened to its destiny
By Robert Cressman
Special to the Times
“I couldn’t fathom what I saw. Then everything seemed to blow up.”
Seventy-eight-year-old Howard Snell of Pearland, Texas, makes that 60-year time trip to Pearl Harbor in an instant: December 7, 1941 — the date that will live in infamy, the day that will never recede far in memory for those who were there.
Never.
Six enemy aircraft carriers launched two waves of attack planes, 350 in all, and shocked the slumbering paradise into battle, “Like a thunderclap from a clear sky,” as Japanese Adm. Matome Ugaki later described it.
Indeed, the attack came out of the blue; the Japanese used the cover of peace to marshal the most powerful strike force yet wielded by any navy on the face of the planet for the attack on U.S. Pacific Fleet. The sucker punch devastated Pearl Harbor but pulled America into a war it was destined to win.
“Remember Pearl Harbor” became an enduring rallying cry — but who could ever forget? Being “Pearl Harbored” is part of the American lexicon as a synonym for being surprised. The same phrase could describe the startling sense of surprise when passenger jets plunged into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Ironically, the terrorists were kamikazes on a suicide mission, while the Japanese aviators of 60 years ago fully expected to fight their way into Pearl Harbor and then fight their way out.
Operating in both the high-level bombing and torpedo-carrying role, carrier bombers, supported by fighters, sank five of the eight battleships in harbor, a gunnery training ship, one minelayer and two destroyers. They damaged three battleships, four cruisers and three destroyers. Attacks on nearby airfields destroyed 188 planes: long-range Navy flying boats and utility aircraft; Army fighters and long-range bombers; and Marine Corps fighters, scout bombers and utility planes. The Navy suffered 2,008 killed, more than half on board the battleship Arizona alone when a bomb touched off a cataclysmic explosion; the Marine Corps suffered 109 dead; and the Army, 218. Sixty-eight civilians died, including some who were the victims of improperly fused anti-aircraft shells. Japanese losses numbered 29 aircraft, four midget submarines and fewer than 100 men.
American heroes wore every uniform; their bravery knew no rank.
A call to arms, then and now The attack united the country, filling Americans with resolve to defeat an enemy that had begun hostilities without a declaration of war. Many said that unified spirit lay long dormant, until Sept. 11, 2001.
“The Sept. 11 attack — that woke up America,” said 89-year-old Joseph Ruggles of St. Petersburg, Fla., who as a Navy pharmacist’s mate helped with casualties at Pearl Harbor. “Patriotism is just blooming all over the country.”
“I always thought the next war would come from within, that things would happen here at home,” he said. “But people just wouldn’t buy it.”
Just as it took an almost unimaginable event to focus the nation on the threat of terrorism, it took Pearl Harbor to finally commit America to World War II. The United States in 1939 had been alarmed about the spread of Nazism and fascism in Europe, and had squared off on the diplomatic front with militarist Japan over its campaign of aggression in China.
Yet the war that started in Europe in September 1939 began to draw the United States in during the two years prior to Pearl Harbor, and by the spring of 1941, efforts were well under way to escort convoys carrying supplies to England. By the late summer, U.S. ships were convoying vessels to a midocean meeting point where the British Navy would see that the ships reached England safely. By late October, German U-boats had torpedoed three U.S. Navy ships, two destroyers and an oiler, sinking the destroyer Reuben James on Halloween night.
Five weeks later, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Though public knowledge of the attack came slowly by today’s standards — through radio reports and newspapers, rather than live, round-the-clock television footage — the outrage spread quickly.
Sinking the mighty U.S. battleships, “the backbone of the fleet,” 60 years ago seemed nearly as impossible and improbable as toppling the twin towers of the World Trade Center in some far-fetched suicide hijacking.
But hell-bent enemies achieved both objectives. And in 1941 and 2001, Americans responded with self-sacrifice and heroism of the highest order as suddenly they were forced to transition from peace to war footing.
Ordinary heroes Just as firefighters, police officers and citizens off the street rushed to save others trapped in the doomed World Trade Center and wounded Pentagon, heroes rose from the ranks at Pearl Harbor to save their brothers in arms and defend their country.
Marines manning machine guns on board the battleship Nevada remained at their posts as fires raged beneath them, keeping their weapons in action throughout the battle and living to tell the tale. On board the flooding battleship Oklahoma, Ensign Francis G. Flaherty, USNR, and Seaman 1st Class James R. Ward held flashlights, lighting the way for shipmates to escape at the cost of their own lives. On the target ship Utah, Austrian-born Chief Watertender Peter Tomich remained behind to secure the boilers and ensure that his shipmates in the fireroom escaped.
All three men — Flaherty, Ward and Tomich — were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
The cataclysmic explosion of the battleship Arizona’s forward magazines triggered fires that consumed the warship and swept men off the repair ship Vestal, tied up alongside. Vestal’s captain, Cmdr. Cassin Young, was among those hurled into the oily, burning waters. Young hauled himself up the accommodation ladder and into the fight. He got the Vestal under way and cleared the side of the doomed battleship, an act that saved the Vestal. Young was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions.
A kind of providence kept the disaster at Pearl Harbor from being much worse. The Japanese spared the fuel-tank farms that lay prominently in sight; some tanks even outlandishly camouflaged to resemble buildings. The fuel stored there enabled the fleet to continue operating from Pearl, for oil was the lifeblood of its ships. The Navy Yard lay virtually untouched, providing a safe haven where damaged vessels could be repaired to fight again. Had the battleships sunk that day been off Lahaina, the deepwater anchorage off Maui, they would have been irretrievable. As it was, only the Arizona and Oklahoma never returned to active service, while the others were all raised, repaired and returned to the fight.
While the Japanese attack crippled the battle line, it missed the Pacific Fleet’s aircraft carriers. The Enterprise and Lexington were engaged in aircraft-ferrying missions to Wake Island and Midway, while the Saratoga was in San Diego, readying to return to Pearl. Although some aircraft from the Enterprise engaged Japanese planes that morning, flying in to Pearl as the attack unfolded, the ship and her planes survived the day unscathed. She would remain in action, though bloodied in battle, for the rest of the war.
“It could never happen here,” could have been said by Americans in 2001, echoing their forebears in 1941. America’s security had long been assured by a moat — the oceans that wash both coasts — although the advent of the airplane had shrunk distances. Most Americans would have considered an onslaught as terrible as occurred on 11 September as virtually unthinkable — like Americans of 1941 considered the fleet secure at Pearl Harbor. After all, what nation would dare send a force across the Pacific Ocean, risking detection, to attack the U.S. Pacific Fleet at its base? While the possibility existed, none but the most farsighted could have dreamed that an adversary would carry out such a daring plan.
In 1941, there were indications the United States and Japan were headed for war, but the handful of leaders who were privy to Japanese codes failed to prepare the American public for that possibility. While the debate continues about whether the commanders on the scene in Hawaii had enough information to prepare for or prevent a possible attack, no one believed that Pearl Harbor was a target — no more than anyone could have predicted that the twin towers in New York City would be attacked and brought down.
Until that attack, calls for the need to vigorously defend against the threat of domestic terrorism were all but ignored.
Now homeland defense is a national priority.
This was the lesson of 12-7-41: Expect the unexpected.
America was reminded the hard way on 9-11-01 of the need to heed that lesson.
Always.

2002: Switzerland. Work begins on the Codex. Written in Coptic, it is in fragments and it will take years to piece them together. It will tell a story that early church fathers denounced as heresy. Even in this condition one line stands out, it is the title. It says “The Gospel of Judas.”[53]
2002: The Ossuary of James, Brother of Jesus
In 2002 an antiquities dealer in Israel claimed to have discovered a limestone ossuary (used to hold bones of the dead) with an inscription in Aramaic on one side of the box identifying its (missing) contents as those of "James, Son of Joseph, Brother of Jesus." The find made international news because if genuine, it might provide archaeological evidence for Jesus Christ. However many archaeologists were skeptical for several reasons, including that there was no clear provenance (history) for the item and because carved rosette patterns on the other side of the box were rounded from age and decay, while the script on the disputed inscription had sharp edges suggesting it was recently added. A chalk wash also appeared to have been added to the lettering to make it appear older than it actually was. In 2003 the Israeli Antiquities Authority published a report concluding that the inscription was a modern forgery carved on a genuinely old ossuary box. [Faux Real: A Gallery of Forgeries][54]
December 10, 2008: Pedro Cáceres. "Uno de cada tres españoles tiene marcadores genéticos de Oriente Medio o el Magreb." El Mundo (December 10, 2008). Excerpt:
"El doctor Calafell matiza que [...] los marcadores genéticos usados para distinguir a la población con ancestros sefardíes pueden producir distorsiones. En realidad, la pista genética usada en este caso también es compartida por pueblos de Oriente Medio desde Turquía hasta Líbano, con lo que en realidad, ese 20% de españoles que el estudio señala como descendientes de sefardíes podrían haber heredado ese rasgo de movimiento más antiguos, como el de los fenicios o, incluso, primeros pobladores neolíticos hace miles de años." (Translation: "Dr. Calafell clarifies that [...] the genetic markers used to distinguish the population with Sephardic ancestry may produce distortions. In reality, the genetic marker used in this case is also a component of peoples of the Middle East from Turkey to Lebanon, with the reality being that the 20% of Spaniards who are identified as having Sephardic ancestry in the study could have inherited that same marker from older migrations like those of the Phoenicians, or even the first Neolithic settlers thousands of years ago.")

[5] A State Road Marker (Latitude 39.624783°, Longitude -78.734500°) immediately southeast of Cumberland,
Maryland briefly summarizes the Jane Frazier story. While on her way to Fort Cumberland in October 1755, her
traveling companion was killed by Twightwee/Miami Indians. She was kidnapped and taken to Miami country, from
whence she escaped and returned home to find her husband had remarried. Her story is recited in detail in the 1923
book ―History of Allegany County‖. According to Hanna‘s 1911 book ―The Wilderness Trail‖, a November 14th,
1756 letter from Colonel Adam Stephen to Colonel John Armstrong, dated at Fort Cumberland, stated ―By a woman
who once belonged to John Fraser (his wife or mistress) and has now, after being prisoner with Shingas, &c,
thirteen months, made her escape from Muskingum, we learn that Shingas and some Delawares live near the head
of that river…‖
