December 22, 244: Birthdate of Diocletian, the Roman Emperor who ordered all of his subjects to accept his divinity and offer sacrifices to him. He exempted the Jews from this decree. According to Meir Holder, “his regime was comparatively favorable to the Jewish people.[1]
250 Carthage, Jews expelled.[2]

• Found in the hill sanctuary of Bab Kalabsha, (a small valley Chapel at Taifa. The Temple is located on the west bank of the Nile River, in Nubia. “a long inscription carved by the Roman Governor Aurelius Besarion in 250 AD forbid pigs in the temple.) this offering table is decorated with amphora for wine, three rosettes, two notched fronds of the type often called the “Isis flower,” and a mat where offerings …were placed…[4]
• 250 CE : Writings of the Christian poet Commodianus (fl. 250 CE), who retells the story of how God “concealed” the ten tribes, keeping them “enclosed [behind] a river across Persia” (trans Persida flumine clause). Commodianus is but one early instace of Christian apocalyptic writings relating to Esdras, which attached the ten tribes to visions of the end of the world. In the emergence of Jewish rabbinic tradition and its ongoing struggle with questions of exile and return in the wake of the temple’s destruiction, the question of the ten lost tribes was a complication. [5]
250: Jews expelled from Carthage.[6]

268: Battle of Lake Benacus between the Alamanni and Claudius II . Battle of Naissus between the Goths and Gallienus . [10]
December 22, 1603: Mehmed III Sultan of the Ottoman Empire passed away. Born in 1566, Mehmed III continued the Turkish practice of taking advantage of the skills of his Jewish subjects. He appointed a Jew named Gabriel Buonaventura as ambassador to Spain which may seem counter-intuitive considering that Spain had expelled her Jews a century earlier. Two Jewish doctors named Benveniste and Korina were in palace service. In 1597 a Morrano named Alvaro Mendez who had taken the Turkish appellation Solomon Abenyaes prepared a treaty of alliance with England aimed at King Philip of Spain.
December 22, 1603: Ahmed I becomes Sultan of the Ottoman Empire following the death of Mehmed III. During his reign, Sultan Ahmed I caught small pox, a highly fatal disease. When his palace physicians could not help him, Ahmed sought help from Buha Eskenazi, the widow of Solomon Eskenazi who had been one of his doctors. The widow Eskenazi was able to affect a cure and she remained in the Sultan’s service.[11]

Braddock, with several other officers, sail from Ireland for America. The troops for Braddock's expedition will follow in January. [13]
1755: Braddock's Road was not opened to immigrants until 1755.[14]
In 1755 (Lawrence Harrison) sold Land in Orange Co. and bought 346 acre near Winchester.[15]

Philadelphia as mapped in 1755 - intersected by 40th degree parallel of latitude, while New Castle is far to the south (Alexandria is just south of 39th parallel)
Source: Library of Congress, A map of the British and French dominions in North America, with the roads, distances, limits, and extent of the settlements
Some Pennsylvania officials even claimed that the "beginning" of the 40th degree of latitude was the 39th parallel, and all the land north of the 39th degree of latitude was included in Penn's grant.3 A degree of latitude is roughly 69 miles (on land), so a lot of territory was at stake. Until Penn's claimed eastern and southern boundaries of the colony were defined, it was impossible to establish the southwestern corner, 5 degrees of longitude to the west of the southeastern corner.[17]
1755 William Crawford received the commission of ensign, from
General Robert Dinwiddie, Governor of the Colony of
Virginia. William Crawford joined Braddock’s army with his
company of riflemen..[18]
1755 - Birth of Ruth McKinnon to Daniel and Ruth, in Anne Arundel.[19]
1755: Sarah Vance married John Vail in 1755, she is the Daughter of Samuel Vance b. 1691, and Sarah "Blackburn" Vance b. 1709. Sarah "Vance" Vail was born in 1740. [20]
1755: Jane Vance was born 1755, the Daughter of Alexander Vance Sr. born 1725, and Margaret "Bigham" Vance. She later married David Vance born 1755, (They were 1st Cousins). David Vance was the Son of John Vance born 1730, and Margaret "White" Vance.[21]
1755: David Vance (My 2nd Cousin 6 Times Removed) was born 1755, the Son of John Vance (My 1st Cousin 6 Times Removed) born 1730, and Margaret "White" Vance ( My 1st Cousin 6 Times Removed, By Marriage). He later married Jane Vance ( My 2nd Cousin 6 Times Removed) born 1755, (They were 1st Cousins). Jane Vance (My 2nd Cousin 6 Times Removed) was the Daughter of Alexander Vance Sr. (My 1st Cousin 6 Times Removed) born 1725, and Margaret "Bigham" Vance (My 1st Cousin 6 Times Removed, By Marriage).
1755: Abner Vance (My 4th Great Grandfather) was born about 19-Jul-1755 Possibly in N.C. Or the Shenandoah Valley of Va. There has been no birth record of any kind found for Abner Vance (My 4th Great Grandfather). There is no proof that Abner Vance (My 4th Great Grandfather) was his birth name, this is however the name he used in all records that have been found on him, so his ancestors use this name. It is also possible that Abner Vance (My 4th Great Grandfather) was an Indian, most likely Cherokee if he was. There is no documented proof as to who Abner Vance's (My 4th Great Grandfather) parents were. There are several possibilities as to the identity of his parents. One set of possibly parents for Abner Vance (My 4th Great Grandfather) is Ephraim "Vause" Vance (My 5th Great Grandfather) born 1715, and Theodosia "Hewlings" Vance (MY 5th Great Grandmother) born 1721. If the father of Abner Vance (My 4th Great Grandfather) was Ephraim "Vause" Vance (My 5th Great Grandfather) that brings us to another mystery! Who was Ephraim "Vause" Vance's (My 5th Great Grandfather) parents? There is no known records of who Ephraim "Vause" Vance's (My 5th Great Grandfather) parents were. There is a lot of information about Ephraim "Vause" Vance (My 5th Great Grandfather) and what he did during his life, but none to document where he came from. Theodosia Hewlings (My 5th Great Grandmother) born 1721 however is a different story. Theododia Hewlings's (My 5th Great Grandmother) parents have been documented, as well as her marriage to Ephraim "Vause" Vance (My 5th Great Grandfather). Another possible set of parents for Abner Vance (My 4th Great Grandfather) is Samuel Vance and Sarah "Colville" Vance. Personally I do not think Samuel Vance and Sarah "Colville" Vance were Abner Vance's (My 4th Great Grandfather) parents, this does not mean they weren't, just that I don't think they were. My belief is that Samuel Vance and Sarah "Colville" Vance were Abner Vance's (My 4th Great Grandfather) Uncle and Aunt. Another pocssible Father for Abner Vance (My 4th Great Grandfather) is Matthew Vance. I believe that Matthew Vance was the brother of Samuel Vance that married Sarah Colville, and if Matthew Vance is the Father of Abner Vance (My 4th Great Grandfather), then my throry that Samuel Vance and Sarah "Colville" Vance are his Uncle and Aunt would be correct, however no proof of this has been found. Abner Vance (My 4th Great Grandfather) and Matthew Vance both swore the oath of allegiance to the Commonwealth of Virginia at the same time in May 1777, so they at least knew each other, and were most likely related.

1755-1761: John Mitchell produced a separate map between 1755-61. It suggested the Forks of the Ohio, including the site of modern-day Pittsburgh that the French called "Fort duQuesne," was located in Pennsylvania:[25]
1755-1763: The Delaware, Mingo, and Shawnee sided with the French during the French and Indian War (1755-1763). The Iroquois Confederacy officially remained neutral, but many in the Iroquois Confederacy allied with the French.[26]
John Cale, born April 19, 1726, died July 26, 1797; married July 25 1751 to Elizabeth Pugh, born December 13, 1730 in Frederick Co., Va., died September 14, 1796.
Daughter, Elizabeth Cale, born 1759, died 1821. Was married, 1782, to George Nicholas Spaid, born December 22, 1759, died June 15, 1833.
Their son, Michael Spaid, born October 1, 1795, in Hampshire County, Virginia, died March 26, 1872, in Buffalo, Ohio. Was married to Margaret ("Peggy") Godlove (Gottlieb), daughter of George Godlove, German lineage, born August 13, 1792, Hampshire County WV, died August 30, 1873 in Buffalo, Guernsey County, Ohio.[27] They were Lutherans and Democrats. Eight children. She had to the last the Virginia accent and kindly ways. [28]
George Gottlieb was a Hessian Soldier. So was George Nicholas Spaid, and of course, Francis Gotlop (Godlove). What they have in common was that they were Hessians, they deserted and stayed in America, and their children got married together. In the case of George Gottlieb and Francis Gotlop, they both had similar last names and I suspect that George had the Cohen Model Haplotype, as we know Francis Gotlop did. Perhaps they were among a small group of “Jewish Hessians” or “Hessians with Jewish ancestry” that came to America during the American Revolution and stayed afterwards. I do not have time to go into this today. I have created a study called “The Goodlove DNA: Coming to America. The story of Franz Gottlob, a Hessian Mercenary Soldier’s Journey to America and his Battle for Freedom”.
December 22, 1768
The Rev. Daniel McKinnon and the Rev. Jeremiah Berry were licensed to preach, by the Bishop of London, on December 22, 1768. Both of these young men were sent to the colonies to minister to the Plantations of Maryland.[29]
The Reverend Daniel McKinnon was licensed to preach by the Bishop of London in 1768. He is known to have acted as a missionary as early as 1750-1753. A letter was sent by the compiler to the present Lord Bishop of London, asking for an explanation of this fact. His reply stated that whereas it was not customary to send young men to America prior to being ordained, there has been exceptions. Without quoting from the records in the case of Daniel McKinnon, "which are difficult to locate at this date," there was an example given on the well-known Rev. Charles Inglis, D.D., who, in 1787, became the English Colonial Bishop. He was in America as a young man, acted as a lay catechist and teacher. In 1758, he returned to England and received ordination.
It appears, therefore, that Daniel McKinnon, after spending a number of years disseminating the gospel in America, returned to England to complete his studies and preparation for ordination, and was ordained December 22, 1768, returning to America in 1769, as will appear.
Under the subject of "All Saints' Parish, Frederick County, established in 1742, it is stated that the Reverend Bacon was the minister in charge of this church up to the time of his death, May 27, 1768. He was succeeded by the Rev. Bennett Allen.
1769:Early in 1769, the Rev. Jeremiah Berry, a native of Maryland, was in charge as curate of Monocacy Chapel and the Rev. Daniel McKennon, also as curate, was ministering to the Frederick congregation. [30]
1769:Daniel returned to Maryland in 1769 and is listed as the Minister at All Saints Parish in Frederick County, Maryland.[31]/[32]
1769:King James Version (Oxford Standard edition corrected by Dr. Benjamin Blayney).[33]
At the concession stand at the Washington Home at Mt. Vernon I purchased a copy of “George Washington’s Diaries,” an abridgment by Dorothy Turohig. She gives an explanation behind the messages and events which Washington describes (Ref36). Of particular interest this writer points out that “This land which William and Valentine Crawford had surveyed for the Washingtons in 1769 is in the vicinity of Perryopolis, PA, in what is now Fayette County, PA.” (Ref 33.9) I believe this is the parcels she is referring to. [34]
1769
In 1754, as an incentive to recruit men for the Virginia Regiment — which eventually bled so at Fort Necessity — Governor Dinwiddie had promised 200,000 acres of frontier land as a bounty. Fifteen years later, in 1769, Washington reminded Lord Botetourt, the latest of Dinwiddie’s successors, of that promise and obtained a grant of lands down the Ohio River, wherever a suitable tract might be found.

1798 - December 22 - By act of the General Assembly, Harrison Academy at Cynthiana was incorporated. Trustees: Benjamin Harrison, William E. Boswell, Henry Coleman, Hugh Miller, Sr., John Wall, Samuel Lamb, Samuel McMullin, Samuel Cook, Robert Hingston. [41] This institution, named after Benjamin Harrison operated until 1872, then becoming the Cynthiana public school. When a new Kentucky county was formed out of old Bourbon County, it was named for Benjamin Harrison. [42] The academy was in a stone building on the North side of Pearl Street, at the end of Walnut Street on what was later the old Cemetery grounds. [43]
1799, 1801, 1811 three children of “Franz (also Franziskus) and Maria Gottlob” baptized at Henron Church, Intermont, Hampshire County. [44]
It should be clearly understood, that while Washington did not receive land for his pay in the military service, he did employ his own party of surveyors to survey land for him. At his death, he was the owner of more than 70,000 acres of land, as per will in 1799. The huge surveys which William Crawford arranged for Washington in the Kanawh area, were; The Poca tract, Washington Bottom at Parkersburg, W. VaA., the Ravenswood tract, Round Bottom and (the Millwood tract, now in present Jackson County, W. VA.) The latter containing more than 4,000 acres. There were other tracts surveyed for Washington as well as for the officers and soldiers of the King’s Grant.
On the original surveys at Morgantown, W. VA., are listings of other surveyors, who were working with William Crawford in the Kanawha district. Those whose names are well known in surveying history; Robert Rutherford, Richard Graham, Alexander Henderson and Robert Griffith, etc…[45]
1803 - December 22 - Benjamin Harrison, Sr. cancelled power of attorney given Richard J. Waters*- and revoked his Will: To all those who will see these presents, greetings. Let it be known that I, Benjamin Harrison, Senior, domiciled in the Province of Louisiana in the District of New Madrid., disavow and annul by these presents a general power (of attorney) given by me to Richard J. Waters, also domiciled in the aforesaid District, as well as a Will which is thereto annexed., hereby declaring of no value all other acts or writings, etc. which he may have made in the meantime in virtue of the aforesaid Power, or in case of my death, I declare also, my last wishes, or the Will which is attached to the said power, to be nul and without effect or value, and as a thing that never happened. In virtue of which I have affixed my seal and signed by hand this 22nd day of December, 1803.
Before me. Benj. Harrison, Sr.

*Richard Jones Waters settled at New Madrid about 1790. He was a doctor, trader, mill owner, land speculator. (Douglass, P. 97)\
December 22, 1828: The Tennessee legislature again nominated ancestor Jackson for President. Jackson attracted Vice President John C. Calhoun, Martin Van Buren, and Thomas Ritchie into his camp (the latter two previous supporters of Crawford). Van Buren, with help from his friends in Philadelphia and Richmond, revived the old Republican Party, gave it a new name as the Democratic Party, "restored party rivalries", and forged a national organization of durability.[18] The Jackson coalition handily defeated Adams in 1828.
During the election, Jackson's opponents referred to him as a "jackass." Jackson liked the name and used the jackass as a symbol for a while, but it died out. However, it later became the symbol for the Democratic Party when cartoonist Thomas Nast popularized it.[19]
The campaign was very much a personal one. Although neither candidate personally campaigned, their political followers organized many campaign events. Both candidates were rhetorically attacked in the press, which reached a low point when the press accused Jackson's wife Rachel of bigamy. Though the accusation was true, as were most personal attacks leveled against him during the campaign, it was based on events that occurred many years prior (1791 to 1794). Jackson said he would forgive those who insulted him, but he would never forgive the ones who attacked his wife.

PASSED AWAY AT RIPE OLD AGE
Wm. H. Goodlove, Another Old Soldier and Settler, Died Jan. 18 A Sketch of His Life
The hand on the dial of life had entered into the section which marked the eightieth year of Wm. Goodlove, who came to the home of Corad [Conrad] and Catherine Goodlove, Oct. 22, 1836 in Clark county, O. He helped to make merry the play life of the two brothers and three sisters and one half‐brother, who had already come into that home. One by one these play mates of childhood days, except one sister, Mary A. Davis of Columbus. O., who has reached the mark of 87 years, have preceeded [preceded] the deceased into the other room of the many mansioned home. The first sixteen years of his life were spent romping over the familiar spots in his native state. In company with his father and step‐mother he came to West Union, Fayette county, Iowa, at the age of sixteen. Only a year were they at that point when they removed to Wild Cat Grove near Marion in 1853. At the time of his majority he took for a life companion Miss Esther J. Winans, Nov. 5 1857. But this life companionship was not to continue long, for during the seventh year of their wedded life and while he was serving his country as one of her bravest and best, she was called to the endless life. He alone survived her. In 1862 Mr. Goodlove put his life on his country’s altar and enlisted in Co. 24, Iowa Infantry. Here as a private soldier he put his characteristic energy and faithfulness into his duties as a true patriot, which terminated in a broken health. About a year after the close of the war he sought the hand and heart of Sarah C. Pyle, and on June 20 1866, in Hastings, Minn. They plighted their faith to each other. To make glad their home six children came: Nettie, Oscar, Willis, Cora, Earl and Jessie. The first to break the ties of the happy group was Nettie, who had married Mr. Gray of San Antonio, Tex., when she departed this life, in September, 1911. Scarcely four years have slipped away since the deceased and his beloved companion came to make Central City their home. They brought their church letters with them and united with the Methodist church by transfer from the Prairie Chapel organization. When a young man, Mr. Goodlove experience conversion and gave his sincere and earnest efforts to the work of the church which he loved and to which he was faithful till death called him to a higher service January 17, 1916. For several weeks past he has been grappling with a disease which he was unable to combat. He fought a good fight, and has gained the crown laid up for those who love the lord. His service to his country in the Civil War endured him to the boys in Blue, and this fellowship which remained till the last, was shown by his loyalty to the Marvin Mills Post of which he was a member. Mr. Goodlove’s christian profession was exemplified in his daily life. He was a true companion to his help mate who was the recipient of his thoughtful and unselfish kindness. His children have the joy and blessing of a loving father to linger with them. He leaves to glory over his victorious life a faithful wife, five children, 20 grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and a host of good friends. The service was held at the M. E. Church Wednesday afternoon in Central City in charge of a former pastor, Rev. Chas. E. Luce, assisted by Rev. Chas. G. Fort. Burial took place a Jordans Grove cemetery.
Thanks for passing this along Linda!

I have found only three Godlove families in 19th century U. S. The earliest and largest group is the descendants of Franz Gottlob. The other two are descendants of Emanuel (1818-1882) and of Moses (ca. 1832-1897). There were 524 Gottliebs and 47 Gottlobs who entered the country through Castle Garden in NY in the 19th century (I have not researched other ports of entry) but only these three families must Anglicized their name. Moses of St. Louis might be the 22-year old Moses Gottlieb who arrived January 11,1855 at Castle Island. The origin given for him is only Germany.
You say Werneck "was a Jewish community." Does that mean a village in which all the residents were Jews or that there was a Jewish community in Werneck? What sources would you recommend to me to learn more about Werneck?
One of your birthdays for December 22 was for Margaret Grant. Who is that? It caught my attention because you mention Judge Didawick's letter in the same post. His wife's name was Margaret Grant. Jacob was 83 when he wrote the letter to Annie Cline, and he was living with his daughter's family in St. Louis after nearly 60 years in Montana. Jim
Jim, Thanks for the Godlove info. I got the info on Werneck on a German websight and translated in using babble fish. Werneck had a Jewish community including synagogue but was not only Jewish. I will find that website tonight. The Grant you asked about is Margaret Gertrude Grant Born December 22, 1917 in St. Thomas, Elgin, Ontario, Canada. died Jun 18, 1980. Married Earl Wiliam Durham. Jeff
