Birthday: Isaac E. Godlove 99



Anniversary: Nancy Godlove and Edwin B. Taylor 156



December 24, 1166: Birthdate of King John of England. King John is known to history as the brother of Richard the Lionhearted whom he followed to the throne in 1199. He is also the monarch who was so rapacious that the English nobles banned together and forced him to sign the Magna Charta, which placed limits on the power of the King. John’s record in dealing with the Jews was uneven, to say the least. Since Jews fell outside of the norms of the feudal world of the middle Ages, special provisions were needed to deal with them. Two years after coming to power, King John issued a special charter guaranteeing the rights of the Jews while he reigned as long as they conformed to all laws and decrees i.e. provided a steady flow of funds to the royal treasury. In essence, the Jews were “the king’s possession” to do with as he pleased. So this same King John, when he needed more money, imprisoned several wealthy Jews in a castle at Bristol in 1210 and held them until they paid a ransom of 66,000 marks. John’s son followed his father’s pattern of behavior in dealing with the Jews. His grandson would expel the Jews from England after squeezing them of all their financial value.[1] John of Lackland is the compilers 24th great grandfather.

1167: In 1167 a second invasion failed, again due to the support of the Crusaders, for above all else the Crusader kingdom could not abide a united Egypt and Syria. So desperate was this crisis considered in the Crusader kingdom that any baron refusing to heed the sums forfeited 10 percent of his income. Two further invasions faltered.[2] Death of Ibn Ezra the Jewish Bible commentator, Oxford U founded, Frederick Barbarossa crowned emperor, Almalric king of Jerusalem captures Cairo, Genghis Kahn (Temujin) born. [3]

December 24, 1294: Pope Boniface VIII is elected Pope. In 1298, four years after Boniface came to power, 628 Jews are killed after a priest Nuremberg, Germany, spreads a story that Jews drove nails through communion hosts, "thereby crucifying Christ again". There are those who hold Boniface accountable for this murderous act, if for no other reason that it took place during his “undistinguished” papal rule.[4]

In 1295, when money was needed to wage war against Philip of France (who had confiscated the duchy of Gascony), Edward summoned the most comprehensive assembly ever summoned in England. This became known as the Model Parliament, for it represented various estates: barons, clergy, and knights and townspeople. By the end of Edward's reign, Parliament usually contained representatives of all these estates. Edward used his royal authority to establish the rights of the Crown at the expense of traditional feudal privileges, to promote the uniform administration of justice, to raise income to meet the costs of war and government, and to codify the legal system.
In doing so, his methods emphasized the role of Parliament and the common law. With the able help of his Chancellor, Robert Burnell, Bishop of Bath and Wells, Edward introduced much new legislation.He began by commissioning a thorough survey of local government (with the results entered into documents known as the Hundred Rolls), which not only defined royal rights and possessions but also revealed administrative abuses. [5] Alliance between France and Scotland, early English miracle play “The Harrowing of Hell” Death of Dutch poet Jacob van Maertant, Cinabue creates “Madonna with St. Francis at Assisi”, Marco Polo returns to Italy, Model parliament convenes in London, but most of the clergy quits, First representative Parliament in England, Marco Polo returns from China and is captured and begins to write adventures, Model Parliament of Edward I, Temur Oljaitu (Ch’eng Tsung) grandson of Emperor of China to 1307, Model Parliament of Edward I – knights and burgesses from English shires and towns summoned – first representative parliament, First parliament summoned in England, Marco Polo, Model Parliament is summoned, Balliol refuses to join with Edward and allies with French "Auld Alliance Marco Polo returns to Italy from China, First regular summoning of Parliament in England. [6]

December 24, 1491: Birthdate Ignatius of Loyola, Spanish founder of the Jesuit order. Loyola was born one year before the Jewish expulsion from Spain. He lived during a period dominated by the Inquisition and Church sanctioned anti-Semitism. “It is accordingly much to their credit that the Jesuits were firmly opposed (particularly under Ignatius and his first three successors as Superior General of the Jesuits) to ecclesiastical anti-Semitism and to the Inquisition's persecution of suspected Jews. When Ignatius was accused of having partly Jewish ancestry, he replied, ‘If only I did! What could be more glorious than to e of the same blood as the Apostles, the Blessed Virgin, and our Lord Himself?’”[7]



1492: In 1492 Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia becomes Pope Alexander VI when mule loads of family silver was used to bribe the cardinals into electing him. Once elected he poisons his rival cardinals and accepts payoffs to fill their seats.[8] Henry VII, King of England, invades France, which had previously raided Brittany and supported Perkin Warbveck as claimant to the English throne.[9] Thousands die from bubonic plague in Cairo, Egypt.[10]1492-93 Jews expelled from Sicily, many going to Tunisia.

FORT PITT, December 24th. 1777



SIR—When I wrote you last, I acquainted you of my intention of visiting Fort Randolph. You will find by the enclosed letters from Capt. Arbuckle that before my arrival there he had confined some Shawanese Indians, & his reasons for so doing. On the 10th. ulto., the day I left this post to go to Kanawha, three men, one of them an ensign of the Bottetourt Militia. straggled over the Kanawha to hunt. The Ensign was killed & scalped within a small distance of the fort, which exasperated the militia to such a degree that a party of them rushed into the fort, & put the Cornstalk, his son, the Red Hawk’s son, & another Indian to death, notwithstanding Capt. Arbuckle’s endeavors to prevent it. From this event we have little reason to expect a reconciliation with the Shawanese, except fear operates on them; for if we had any friends among them, those unfortunate wretches were so. Though from information brought me from the Seneca country, which Lt. Col. Gibson has already communicated to you, we have little reason to expect that will be the case. * * *

Col. Wm. Crawford has arrived.[14] I hope his activity and influence will have a very good effect. If Major John Stephenson[15] could have any appointment worth his acceptance, I think he also would be a valuable acquisition. I wish much to be permitted to lay my proceedings here before Congress. I assure you that I have fully exerted my poor abilities to accom­plish the end for which I was ordered here, yet am sorry to say that little advantage has arisen from it; & unless some other measures can be fallen on, I have little reason to promise myself better success for the time to come.

I think that as it is now winter, & Col. Crawford present, my absence for some time would not be at­tended with inconvenience. If Congress have no par­ticular objection, would esteem it as a most singular indulgence to be recalled & suffered to join the grand army, with them to share the honors & fatigues of the field. Indeed, unless our affairs will admit of the assistance of a regular force, I had rather resign my office than continue here in command of militia.

Capt. Willing[16] had arrived here a few days before my return from Fort Randolph. I have in the best manner I could supplied him with such things as he wanted, but am afraid the river will be shut up before he gets away. * * *

1809 – A large group of Cherokee under Tahlonteeskee (Ataluntiski), Doublehead’s brother, emigrated to lands in what is now Arkansas, where he became the first principal chief of the Cherokee Nation West. Later in the year, Meigs sends John Ross to these Cherokee as his deputy. • The Cherokee National Committee was established to handle affairs of the Nation between meetings of the National Council.[29]

December 24, 1814

The Treaty of Ghent, signed and sealed on December 24, 1814 a full two weeks before the Battle of New Orleans officially ended the War of 1812. [30] In the Age of Sail, the treaty wasn’t fully ratified until February 17, 1815.[31]

Treaty of Ghent


Signing of the Treaty of Ghent. Admiral of the Fleet James Gambier is shaking hands with United States Ambassador to Russia John Quincy Adams; British Under-Secretary of State for War and the Colonies Henry Goulburn is carrying a red folder.

•The Treaty of Ghent (8 Stat. 218), signed on 24 December 1814, in Ghent (modern day Belgium, then in limbo between the First French Empire and United Kingdom of the Netherlands), was the peace treaty that ended the War of 1812 between the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The treaty largely restored relations between the two nations to status quo ante bellum. Because of the era's slow communications, it took weeks for news of the peace treaty to reach the United States, and the Battle of New Orleans was fought after it was signed though before it was ratified.


Agreement

On December 24,1814, the members of the British and American negotiating teams signed and affixed their individual seals to the document, which once ratified by their respective governments, ended the war of 1812.[1] The treaty released all prisoners and restored all war lands and boats, resulting in several changes. Returned to the United States were approximately 10,000,000 acres (40,000 km2) of territory, near Lakes Superior and Michigan, in Maine, and on the Pacific coast.[2] American-held areas of Upper Canada (present-day Ontario) were returned to British control. The treaty made no major changes to the pre-war situation, but Britain promised to return the freed black slaves encouraged during the war to escape to British territory. In practice, a few years later Britain instead paid the United States $350,000 for them.[3]

The British proposal to create an Indian buffer zone in Ohio and Michigan collapsed after the Indian coalition fell apart. [4]

Aftermath

News of the treaty finally reached the United States after the American victory in the Battle of New Orleans and the British victory in the Second Battle of Fort Bowyer, but before the British assault on Mobile, Alabama.[5] Skirmishes occurred between U.S. troops and British-allied Indians along the Mississippi River frontier for months after the treaty, including the Battle of the Sink Hole in May 1815.

The U.S. Senate unanimously approved the treaty on 16 February 1815, and President James Madison exchanged ratification papers with a British diplomat in Washington on 17 February; the treaty was proclaimed on 18 February. Eleven days later, on 1 March Napoleon escaped from Elba, starting the war in Europe again, and forcing the British to concentrate on the threat he posed.

In 1922, the Fountain of Time was dedicated to the city of Chicago, being placed in Washington Park marking 100 years of peace between the United States and the United Kingdom. The Peace Bridge between Buffalo, New York and Fort Erie, Ontario, opened in 1927, commemorates 100 years of peace between the United States and Canada.[32][33]

1815: At the age of fourteen Abraham Baer Gottlober married the daughter of a wealthy "Hasid" in Chernigov, and settled there. When his inclination for secular knowledge became known, his father-in-law, on the advice of a Hasidic rabbi, caused the young couple to be divorced, and Gottlober, who had joined the Hasidim after his marriage, now became their bitter enemy.[34]

1815: In 1813 Mordecai Noah assumed the highest position a Jew had ever held in the fledling Republic. President James Madison appointed Noah U. S. ambassador to Tunisa position of real substance, given how vexing America found the issue of piracy in the Barbary States.

Yet in 1815 Noah received a stunning glow from Secretary of State James Monroe. In a letter, Monroe recalled him from his post. “At the time of your appointment,” read the letterfrom the capital, “it was not known that the Religion which you profess would form any obstacle to the exercise of your Consular function.” This demonstrated how close to the surface lay the popular vision of America as a Christian, that is, Protestant, nation.[35]

Throughout the early period of the Republic, shaped though it was by Constitutional guarantees, Jewish men walked a fine line between feeling part of the polity and and entitiled to full access and knowing that their Jewishness placed them in an outsider category. From the Revolution onward, American Jews felt the need to prove themselves. They involved their revolutionary service. They sought out neutral spaces, for example Masonic lodges, where they could gather and steer clear of matters religious.

They participated in common civic ventures.[36]

1815 – John Ross opens a trading post on the Tennessee River that becomes known as Ross' Landing, with Timothy Meigs, brother of US Indian agent Return J. Meigs, as his partner.[37]

Reform Judaism was born at the time of the French Revolution, a time when European Jews were recognized for the first time as citizens of the countries in which they lived. Ghettos were being abolished, special badges were no more, people could settle where they pleased, dress as they liked and follow the occupations that they wanted.

December 24, 1799: William Vance, born 1776 (or November 30, 1775 in Washington Co PA), died April 8, 1856. William inherited Joseph's homestead at Cross Creek, was a captain in the war of 1812, a member of the PA legislature in 1815-1816. His first wife was Rachel, daughter of William Patterson. She was born June 3, 1778 in Washington Co PA and died January 9, 1817. She died in Washington Co PA. William and Rachel were married December 24, 1799. William and Rachel had nine children.[38]

Conrad could have told his grandchildren how William Henry Harrison with 3000 men had defeated Tecumseh in 1811. [39] Many Indian councils were called in Champagne County and Tecumseh was located was located for a time near Deer Creek.[40]

December 24, 1852: At Gurs on November 26, 1940, Julius Gottlieb, born December 24, 1852 from Ebernburg, died.

Also at Gurs on March 23, 1941 Johanna Gottlieb born May 24, 1859, from Ebernburg, died.[41]

STAUNTON, VA.,
December 24, 1863.
Maj. Gen. J. A. EARLY,
Commanding Forces in Valley of Virginia:

GENERAL: Having had a thirty days' leave of absence in my pocket since the 7th instant, and my reasons for going home being very urgent, I will leave in the morning. I have remained here on duty for the past two weeks because I believed my knowledge of the country would be of essential service to the country; but as you are now in a region well known to yourself, this peculiar advantage no longer attaches to my services, and I know that I leave my brigade in the hands of a highly competent officer, Col. George H. Smith, of the Sixty-second Regiment, who will handle the troops certainly as well, perhaps better than I could do. If in pursuit of supplies you have to go to Hampshire County, or send over there, permit me to recommend to you, as fully acquainted with all the resources of that county and Hardy, Capt. George W. Stump, of the Eighteenth Virginia Cavalry. Captain Stump can give you more valuable information than any man in my command in regard to supplies in Hampshire and Hardy. He knows where every lot of cattle in those counties can be obtained, and has very recently returned from a trip there in search of supplies. I take pleasure in recommending him to you as a man perfectly reliable in every respect, and one who will be exceedingly valuable to you, should you send to the counties named. Colonel Smith will report to you with the brigade as soon as he can reach you in the jaded condition of our horses. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. D. IMBODEN, Brigadier-General. [42]

General Benjamin Lefevre served in the Union army as a private, 1861-65,[43] mustered and out as major of the Fiftieth Ohio Infantry and brevited Brigadier General.[44]



Alfred M. McKinnon, born 1839. (Compilers second cousin, 3 times removed) He died at Chatanooga, Tenn., from the effects of the wounds received in battle at Mission Ridge (December 6, 1863); was a member of the 1st 0. V. I. He appears as a student in Clark Co OH in 1860. [45]



John Joseph Harrison died during the Civil War died in Georgia, in a Civil War prison. Was this Andersonville, Georgia? These records need to be checked. (The compilers 3rd cousin, 4 times removed.)[46]



Weldon E. Brittain, born February 24, 1837, died May 27, 186? At Lynchburg, VA, A soldier of Confederate Army.[47]

The Compilers third cousin, six times removed.



Allen Turner Davidson was member of the Confederate Congress, later appointed a member of Commissary Supply Dept. to provide food and clothing for families of Confederate Soldiers., and was on Governor Vance’s Council.[48] The Compilers third cousin six times removed.


December 24, 1864: The most adverse criticism of these "Galvanized Yankees" came from a high ranking Confederate source, Lt. Gen. W. J. Hardee. On December 24, 1864 he informed Gen. S. Cooper, Insp. General of the Confederacy, that at Savannah such troops had proved "to be utterly untrustworthy. The men deserted in large numbers and finally mutinied and were narrowly prevented from going over in a body to the enemy. The ring leaders were shot, and the remainder sent back to prison. These men were selected with great care, and were principally foreigners, and this is, therefore, a fair test of of such troops. I recommend that all authority to organize similar commands be revoked." [49]

James Oxley, (Iowa Infantry?) a POW at Salisbury, told of a group of about a hundred prisoners who had gone with the recruiter who had promised them plenty to eat. They were all eventually returned to the prison according to Confederate authorities, because they had failed a physical exam. The real reason may have been that they were about to disavow their oath to the Confederacy and defect to the Union lines at the first opportunity. Upon their return to Salisbury they were greeted by much hostility from their fellow prisoners and , according to Oxley, were all dead within a short time.( Mr and Mrs Donald W. David of Marion, Iowa, provided the excerpts from James Oxley's letters. This is one of Oxley's comments. Some of these men may have been killed outright, but Oxley implied the denial of food by their fellow prisoners was the cause of their death. These POWs were not wearing uniforms when they returned. They presented such a spectacle that Oxley exclaimed that they would "make a dead man laugh." [50]

December 24, 1865

The Klu Klux Klan is founded in Pulaski, Tennessee.[51]

December 24, 1879: Born on 24 Dec 1879 to William Yoxthimer and Mary Jane Godlove. Mary Jane married William E Yoxthimer and had 6 children. She passed away on 15 Feb 1963 in Findlay, Ohio, USA.[52]

1880


[53]

1880

Theopolis McKinnon voted for Hayes in 1880 for President.[54]

1880: Gottlober also published Hebrew short stories: “Kol rinah vi-yeshu‘ah be-ohole tsadikim” (1875), “Hizaharu bi-vene ha-‘aniyim” (1880), and “Orot me-ofel” (1881). His stories commonly focused on issues that agitated the Jewish communities he was familiar with: unequal distribution of the burden of the Russian military draft, and obstacles in the way of youth who hoped to explore the Enlightenment. Gottlober also published a play, Tif’eret li-vene binah (1867).[55]

1880: Gottlober was one of the first maskilim of his time to write about Jewish history. His initial book in this field was Bikoret le-toldot ha-Kara’im (Critique of the History of the Karaites; 1865). Several years later, his Toldot ha-Kabalah veha-ḥasidut (History of the Kabbalah and Hasidism; 1869) appeared. His inclination was to deal with social and intellectual history, a topic that found expression in his autobiographical works: Zikhronot mi-yeme ne‘urai, meshulavim ‘im zikhronot ha-dor (Memoirs from the Days of My Youth, Joined with Memoirs of the Generation; 1880) and Zikhronot le-korot Haskalat ‘amenu be-artsenu erets Rusya’ (Memoirs of the History of the Enlightenment of Our People in Our Land, the Land of Russia; 1884). In 1867, Gottlober began planning the publication of a history of Jews in the southwest Russian Empire, based on communal registers and the records of local societies.[56]

1880: By 1880, the Jewish population was the absolute majority in Jerusalem. In the 1880’s we begin to saee major fulfillment of Bible prophecy, concerning the Jewish people and the land of Israel. The modern state of Israel is directly connected to biblical Israel, as attested to by its history and the manner in which its modern rebirth has so closely concided with Bible prophecy. Just as God arranged for Joshua to bring the Children of Israel into the Promised Land 3,500 years ago, in our day God arranged for the Jewish people to come back to their ancestral homeland. [57]

December 24, 1894: On board Convoy 55 was Albert Gottlieb, born December 24, 1894 from Fridlda, (Stateless), and Aurelie Gottlieb, born June 11, 1892 in Lvov. (Polish for Lviv, a major city in western Ukraine. [58]

[14] 60 For a biographical sketch of Col. William Crawford see Dunmore’.c War, p. 103, note 48; his early Revolutionary service is sketched in Rev. Upper Ohio, p. 250, note 94. After joining the Continental army in August, 1777, Crawford served with efficiency, commanding a detachment of scouts and skirmishing with the British under Howe. November ~q Congress resolved “that General Washington be requested to send Col. William Crawford to Pittsburg to take command under Brigadier General Hand of the Continental troops and militia of the Western department.” In this way Crawford lost his place and rank in the Continental line, and it was never restored to him. He seems to have spent part of the winter of 1777-78 at his own home on the Youghiogheny. In March and April he was present at Yohogania County court, acting as magistrate and commissioner to lay out prison bounds. His subsequent career will be outlined in later documents in this volume.—ED.


[15] 61 Maj. John Stephenson was a half-brother of Col. William Crawford, and was born in Virginia about 1737. He was out in the French and Indian War, and about 1768 removed to the West, settling on Jacob’s Creek, in Fayette County. There in 1770 he was visited by Washington, who was thenreturning from viewing Western lands. In 1774 Stephenson commanded a company under Dunmore, and was active on the Virginia side during the troubles between that state and Pennsylvania. In 1775 Stephenson enlisted a company for the colonial cause, and joined Col. Peter Muhlenberg as captain in the 8th Virginia; this regiment saw service at Charleston and Savannah. In the summer of 1777 Stephenson contracted disease, and returned home that autumn. He did not again enter the Continental army, but served as a volunteer on Hand’s campaign (1778), and that of Mcintosh (1778-79). About ?i~o he removed to Kentucky, where he lived and died on the South fork of the Licking, leaving no children. He was a large, active man, brave, kind, and popular. For Samuel Murphy’s reminiscences of Stephenson, with whom he lived, see Draper MSS., 3S1-10, 5S1-9.—ED.


[16] Capt. James Willing, youngest son of Charles and his wife Anne Shippen Willing, was born in Philadelphia Feb. 9, 1751. The Willing family were prominent in colonial affairs, and James’s oldest brother, Thomas, was a partner of Robert Morris, and aided in financing the new nation. James removed in 1774 to Natchez, where he dissipated his patrimony. In 1777 he returned to Philadelphia, and received from Congress a commission as captain in the navy, with permission to proceed to the Mississippi River to secure the neutrality of the inhabitants along its banks and to bring back provisions to the states. He enlisted a company for this purpose (see roll in Penna. Archives, 2nd series, xv, p. 658), and in an armed boat christened “Rattletrap” left Pittsburgh Jan. 10, 1778. Arrived at Natchez he succeeded in securing a pledge of neutrality from the chief inhabitants (see Almon’s Remem­brancer, vi, p. 343), but was accused of having in a wanton manner pillaged and inflicted damages on their property. Having proceeded to New Orleans, Willing captured a small British vessel at Manchac, and used this for further depredations on the property of British sympathizers. In the following year he sent his troops back oup the river under charge of Lieut. Robert George, who placed them under the orders of Gen. George Rogers Clark. Willing himself proceeded to Mobile, where he was captured and narrowly escaped being hung. He was finally shipped as prisoner to New York, and Kept on Long Island, under parole, with other American officers. Having resented an insult offered by a British officer, Willing was incarcerated in New York City and loaded with irons, where he remained for three months . One of his sisters, wife of a British officer, interceded for him with Sir Henry Clinton, who finally permitted him to return to Philadelphia on parole until exchanged. He is said to have been exchanged for Henry Hamilton, governor of Detroit. Willing was never married. He made his home in Philadelphia, where he died Oct. 13, 1801
