No. 6.—William CRAWFORD TO George WASHINGTON
December 6, 1770.
DEAR SIR :—Agreeable to your desire, I have bought the Great Meadows[1] from Mr. Harrison, for thirty pistoles, to be paid to Mr. Jacob Hite; and enclosed is an order on you from Mr. Harrison in favor of Mr. Hite, and the bill of sale filled up by Mr. McLain. I also unclose a draft of the land, to be run as you think proper. Any alteration you want done, please to let me know, and I will see it done when Mr. McLain comes up next summer.
I intend to go to Fort Pitt in a day or two. The snow that fell the time you left my house continued on the ground with the help of some’ more ever since, so there was no looking at the land with the caution you desired.[2] I shall send you a full account by my brother, who is to be up by Christmas, if I can have the ground clear of snow long enough to have it done; at any rate, I will see it next week. Colonel Croghan is at Fort Pitt still, and I understand is to stay the chief part of the winter[3]. I wish you a merry Christmas. I am, etc.
P. S.—Mr. Hite has an order on you for the same amount. One only is to be paid. [4]
December 6, 1771 At home alone all day. In the afternoon Mr. Phil. Pendleton came.[5]
No. 11._George WASHINGTON TO William CRAWFORD[6]
MOUNT VERNON, December 6, 1771.
DEAR Sir:—The inclosed I write to you in behalf of the whole officers and soldiers, and beg of you to be attentive to it, as I think our interest is deeply concerned in the event of your dispatch.
I believe, from what I have lately heard, that there is no doubt now of the charter government[7] taking place on the Ohio; but upon what terms, or how the lands will be granted to the people, I have not been able to learn. I should be glad, however, if you would endeavor to keep the tract you surveyed for me till such time as we can tell where, and how, to apply for rights; or, if you did anything with McMahan[8] on my account, I will abide by that. As soon as the tract at the Great Meadows is enlarged, I should be glad to have the surveys returned to the office, and to get a plat of it myself; as I am determined to take out a patent for it immediately.
I cannot hear of any reserve in favor of Colonel Croghan; for which reason I do not care to say anything more to him on the subject of a purchase until matters are upon a more permanent footing, since no disadvantage can follow to him, after leaving him at liberty in my last letter to sell the tract he made me an offer of, to anybody he pleased. I should be glad, however, to hear from you how he goes on in his sales, and what is said and thought of his claim; in short, what chance there appears to be of his getting it; for I suppose his right to the lands he claims must either be confirmed or rejected by this time, and known at Pittsburgh before now. I should be glad to hear from you by the first opportunity in respect to these several matters. In the meanwhile, I remain, with my best wishes to Mrs. Crawford, yourself and family, dear sir, your assured friend and servant.[9]
December 6, 1771: Captain Crawford was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, in 1722; had served in the Virginia Regiment with Washington in 1758, and took an active part in Pontiac’s War of 1763. He first went to the Youghiogheny to perfect his settlement in the summer of 1765, and the next year brought his wife and three children across the mountain to their new home. Washington first wrote him to pick out some good land for purchase in 1767, and also sought the aid of Colonel John Armstrong, at Carlisle, to secure surveys from the Penns for these western lands, as early as 1767, and also sought the aid of Colonel John Armstron, at Carlisle, to secure surveys from the Penns for these western lands, as early as 1767. Colonel George Croghan sought to sell Washinton larger tracts than Washington wanted, and was very insistent about it, and the former declined to purchase. As late as December 6, 1771, despite his seekin of land rights from the Penns, and even after Crawford became a justice in the courts of Bedford County, Washington disclosed the designs of Virginia by his letter to Crawford.

“December 6, 1777 - At two o’clock this morning we learned that the army had engaged with the enemy and as the firing did not last very long, it is to be imagined that it was with their outposts. [13]
1796 - December 6 - Benjamin Harrison, Morgan Vanmatre, Jeremiah Robinson, John Wall, Sr. and Henry Coleman, Trustees of Cynthiana, conveyed Lot 10 in Cynthiana to George Reading. Consideration $10 paid to Robert Harrison, proprietor of said town. Acknowledged Harrison Court December 1796 by Wall, Robinson and Coleman. [14]
My Aunt Winifred Goodlove Gardner told me that she remembered hearing it said that Catherine had stayed with an Aunt Mary in Kentucky for some time in her childhood. That Aunt Mary, no doubt, was Mary Harrison Moore whose gravesite my wife, Mary, and I found in an abandoned graveyard near the village of Poindexter (located about 3 miles from Cynthiana, Kentucky). We walked through farm fields to locate it. The stone fence surrounding it is still nearly complete but it is now covered with trees. (See picture Ref.#8) Tom Moore lived neighbors to the families of Lawrence Harrison and William Crawford in Fayette County, PA, and moved with the Harrisons to claim his 2000 acres which was laid out by Ben Harrison at the same time as the 4000 acres was laid out in Harrison County, Kentucky, for William Harrison who was killed by Indians on the Sandusky Expedition. According to the story, William Harrison was in Kentucky recruiting “sharp-shooters” when he fell in love with the Bluegrass Country and sent for his brother, Ben, to claim it for him. The Harrison’s role in early Kentucky history has lived on in history books and memorials which I will cover briefly in a later chapter.[15][16]

1797: In 1797, a large group of Hardy County residents, estimated at 154, left Hardy County seeking better economic opportunities in the West. They settled in New Design, Illinois. New settlement in Hardy County slowed during the early 1800s as most eastern seaboard pioneers traveled north of the county on their way west.[20]
In 1797, Andrew Jackson was elected U.S. Senator as a Democratic-Republican. He resigned within a year.[21]

Francis Godlove the Elder: Summary and Hypothesis
James Funkhouser (View posts)
Posted: July 9, 2005 11:35AM
Classification: Query
Surnames:
Francis Godlove (1744?-1835) of Hardy and Hampshire Counties, (West) Virginia
The name of Francis Godlove is spelled more than a dozen ways in Hardy and Hampshire records. In the Hardy County tax lists he is Francis Godlove. In census records and most Hampshire county tax lists the name is “Cutloaf.†But in the Hebron Church register, the only place where the name was recorded by German speakers, he was Franz (or Franciskus) Gottlob. In the only autograph signature I have found for Francis, on his consent to Savilla’s marriage, he signed as “Francis Gotlob.†His wife's name was Maria, and in the 1840 census for Hardy County there was a Mary Ann Godlove, in her seventies, apparently Francis' widow.
Francis lived on the Hardy-Hampshire County line at the head of Oldaker's Run, Dutch Hollow, on 100 acres on the south side of North River Mountain, land he bought in 1814 from Stephen Mayhall. On December 6, 1816 Francis entered a claim for a land patent from the Commonwealth of Virginia. This land, 78 acres on the drains of North River and the north side of Bucks Hill, adjoining his 100-acre tract, was surveyed on June 8, 1818 and patented August 17, 1820 to “Francis Godlop.â€
The younger Francis Godlove administered the estate of his father. In the bond, the deceased was called Francis Godlove and the administrator was Francis Godlove Junior. He posted his bond on April 21, 1835 with Henry Detewick [Didawick] as suretor.
Francis Godlove/Franz Gottlob first appeared in Hardy Co. tax lists in 1795. He is listed in the Hardy County personal property tax lists from 1795 through 1805 and is in Hampshire 1806-1825. Probably after that date he was exempt from taxes because of his age, and, perhaps his poverty. Excluding his 178 acres of mountain land, his personal property was appraised in 1835 at $27.71. In 1821 he was listed as on the delinquent tax list, (for personal property--horses, cattle, etc.), but the assessor reported he could find no taxable property.
In 1793 and 1794, in Shenandoah County, Frederick Heiskell of Edinburg paid the personal property tax for [no first name] Gutlope/Gudlope. These might be references to Francis Godlove. On April 2, 1790, a Francis Cutliff was in Augusta County. Sarah, daughter of Franz and Maria Gottlob, was born November 5, 1789 and baptized March 14, 1790 at Altalaha Lutheran Church, Rehrersburg, Tulpehocken Township, Berks Co., Pennsylvania. These suggest a man on the move.
I want more evidence, but it looks like Francis Godlove/Franz Gottlob of Hardy and Hampshire Counties was the Johan Franz Gottlob who deserted in July 1783 from Mallet's Company of the Linsing Regiment of Hessian Grenadiers shortly before they left New York after the American War for Independence. This Franz Gottlob was born in Werneck, principality of Würzburg (now in Bavaria). The military records give his year of birth as variously 1751-1753. An 1805 court record says Francis of Hampshire County he was 61 at that time, so born 1744.[25]
December 6, 1830: Andrew Jackson's (1st cousin 9 times removed) second annual message to Congress, in which he discusses Indian removal.[26]
On December 6, 1830, in his annual message to the nation—now commonly referred to as the president's State of the Union address—Jackson praised Congress for putting into law an Indian removal policy that he had recommended for over a decade. In addition, in this speech he attempted to provide Congress and the public with justifications for why Native Americans in the East needed to be removed beyond the reach of American settlement.[27]
December 6, 1847
Representative Abraham Lincoln of Illinois takes his seat in the House of Representatives.[28]
1848
Theopolis McKinnon voted for Taylor in 1848.[29]
1848: At the end of his second term Joseph Vance (compilers 2nd cousin, 7 times removed) retired to his farm in Urbana. Although he did not hold regular office again, he served as a delegate to the national Whig convention in Philadelphia in 1848 and as a representative of his district to the Ohio Constitutional Convention of 1850-1851. He took a leading part in the debates and was chairman of the committee on public institutions. On his way home from attending sessions of the convention in Cincinnati in December 1850, he suffered a stroke of paralysis and was forced to give up his duties. He died at his home near Urbana on August 24, 1852.[30]
1848: The Washington Monument’s architect, Robert Mills, a freemason, based his design on an ancient Egyptian symbol of power, the obelisk. It is 555 feet. [31] On February 21, 1885: The Washington Monument is dedicated in Washington D.C.[32]

December 6, 1889: Although a staunch supporter of slavery, Davis vigorously opposed the secessionist movement until 1860 when Abraham Lincoln came to power. Davis' attempts to solidify states' rights failed repeatedly and, disillusioned, he decided to resign from the Senate. On January 10, 1861, Davis led Mississippi in following South Carolina's example and seceding from the Union. The following month, he was sworn in as provisional president of the Confederate States of America. (Davis was referred to as the provisional president because he had been appointed by the Confederate Congress rather than elected by the populace.) He moved his family to the southern White House in Richmond, Virginia, and prepared for a six-year presidential term.
Davis' refusal to appoint a general commander of southern forces and his attempt to manage the Southern army and government at the same time is thought to have contributed to the South's defeat. After the fall of Atlanta in 1865, he was captured in Georgia, clapped in irons and indicted for treason. After two years, he was finally released on bail; charges against him were not dropped until 1869. While in prison he staved off financial ruin by selling his Mississippi estate to a former slave. A rebel to the end, Davis refused to swear an oath of allegiance that would have reinstated his U.S. citizenship even after his release from prison. The time spent incarcerated impacted his health, and on December 6, 1889, Davis died in New Orleans.[48]

1901: Fifth Zionist Congress establishes the Jewish National Fund ;Eliezer Ben Yehuda/A> publishes a Hebrew newspaper, “Hashkafah" (The Outlook), supported by Baron Edmond de Rothschild.[54]
1901 to 1912 until Warren Winch’s election, the directorship was held by a member of one of the prominent Irish Catholic families, Kehoe, Ever, Hogan, seven of eleven years. Catholic teachers were employed as teachers about half the time. More so than any other subdistrict in Unioin ‘Township, Union No. 5 had a tendency to not retain the same teachers for all three terms of the school year. Families in this subdistrict were less fastidious than those of other subdistricts in the area about sending boys to school when there was work to be done on the farm. The result was that boys attended school here in large numbers only during the winter term. Duiring this term, a teacher with a well earned reputation for maintaining discipline was retained [55]
December 6, 1904:
Convoy 64, December 7, 1943
This convoy is numbered 64 because of a German mix-up in the files with the convoy of December 17, which is numbered 63. It (Convoy 64) carried 575 males and 422 females. The age composition of the youth was similar to Convoy 62, with 161 people under 18, of whom 106 were children under 12.
Also deported with this convoy was Raymond-Raoul Lambert, 49, President of the IGIF, his wife Simone, 39, and their four children. Their deportation at this time was due to the protests of Mr. Lambert to the Vichy Government (document XXVII-36, of August 15, 1943. [56]
Raymond-Raoul Lamberts Diary has been among the most important untranslated records of the experience of French Jews in the Holocaust. Lambert, a leader of the Union of French Jews (UGIF), was, in the words of the historian Michael Marrus, “arguably the most important Jewish official in contact with the Vichy government and the Germans.” Lambert’s Diary survived the war and was published in France in 1985. It reveals Lambert’s efforts to save the Jews in France, particularly the children.[57] The book is titled “Diary of a Witness, 1940-1943”, Ivan R. Dee, Publisher. ISBN: 1-56663-740-6/978-1-56663-740-4.
On November 30, Rothke had telexed to Eichmann that he was scheduling a convoy of 1,000 Jews for December 7 (XLIX-59). On December 3, Gunther, Eichmann’s assistant, telexed Berlin’s consent for this convoy (XLIX-33). On December 4, Hagen and Oberg contacted Himmler to advise him of the departure of the convoy (SLIX-33). The routine telex was signed by Rothke; the convoy left December 7 at 12:10 AM with 1,000 Jews from Paris/Bobigny, under the supervision of Lieutenant Wannenmacher (XLIX-32a).
There were at least four escapes en route to Auschwitz, among them that of Cesar Chamy, who was later recaptured and escaped a second time on August 17, 1944.
When they arrived in Auschwitz, 267 men were selected and received numbers 167442 through 167708. Seventy two women received numbers 70184 through 70255. The rest, 657, were gassed upon arrival.
On board Convoy 64 on December 7, 1943 was Fanny Gotlib born December 6, 1904 from St. Denis.[58]
December 6, 1915: From the fall of 1915 through 1916, support for school consolidation grew slowly but steadily among members of the Buck Creek Church. Nonetheless, the impetus provided by the threat of Hopkinton forming its own consolidated district and usurping potential Buck Creek territory was gone. The focus of Chalice’s activities lay in expanding the size of the parish by preaching his Country Life variant of the social gospel. Duiring the first week of December 1916, the Buck Creek Chjurch kicked off what Chalice dubbed the “Great Forward Movement.” It consisted of a series of special meetings designed to celebrate the church’s past accomplishments and to expand the scope of its community building efforts by reigniting interest in rural school consolidation. Chalice and his parishioners appeared confident that what they had accomplished in the way of rural community building in Buck Creek provided an exemplar for other rural churches.[59] Buck Creekers had solved the rural church problem on their terms and were now ready to use the church as a force for social change in the educational arena as well. They would solve the rural school problem and in essentially the same way as they had the rural church problem. The rural school would be revitalized by forming a consolidated school district coincident with the larger Buck Creek community. All its members, Catholic and Protestant alike, would have the advantages of a town or city school, though the school itself would be located in the country.[60]

Lawrence wrote in the New York Times, “I am now prepared to believe any story of German atrocities no matter how savage, cruel and depraved.[64] Alice Gottlieb, born December 6, 1918.

LETTER TWO
Portsmouth, Ohio
December 6, 1932
Dear Col. Reasoner,
This last Wednesday afternoon I ran down to Adams County and this time, located the John R Connell cemetery on the old John R Connell f arm.
It is about 2 ½ miles Northwest of Bentonville, by way of the Ellis Pike. The cemetery is on a farm now owned by a Mr. Ambrose Sininger. It is situated on a knoll to the right of a land that runs past the Sininger house and barn, and is about 1/8th of a mile, I would say, from the Pike. There are tow cedar stumps now standing on the lot. These trees died a number of years ago and were cut down.
The cemetery is very small, unfenced and enriched upon as it is now isolated in a plowed field. When Mr. Sininger bought the farms a few years ago the cemetery had been reduced to a square of about twenty feet. But now head stone marks a grave and this stone has been broken off below the line of inscription. Five fragments of partly legible stone were found upon the lot. They bore sufficient evidence to definitely identify the John R Connell cemetery. They were as follows:
A stone to Dunseth, who died July 6, 1853, aged 4 months and 25 days.
A stone to Nancy, wife of Moses Connell
A stone to "Elle"
A stone to "Jo---" son of M and "Na----" Connell
A stone un-named and broken giving incomplete record of age.
If Wednesday is a good day, I will try to take some photographs of the land and also locate the cemetery two miles to the west of this place. You will hear from me again soon.
Yours truly,
(signed) Samuel P Adams [65]

Veterans of World War II and survivors of Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor gathered on the Battleship Texas Saturday to pay their respects to fallen comrades and express the hope that no future generation faces such a challenge.
The windy foredeck of the big, blue battleship was filled with visitors, among them a few members of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association headed by Howard Snell, the chapter's president.
Several veterans remarked that a major reason for the annual event is education. More than one seemed to overhear a young woman ask a retired officer what Pearl Harbor Day represents.
Capt. George Holyfield, head of the Texas Commandery of the Naval Order of the United States, said that "there is an increasing number of Americans who know Dec. 7 only through history books. Many are not aware of what took place more than 50 years ago."
Although the attack damaged or sank eight U.S. battleships and numerous other vessels, and caused 3,500 casualties, the Texas was not involved.
Retired Marine Major Gen. Hugh W. Hardy recalled that the Texas was in port in Maine recovering from patrol duties in the North Atlantic. The Texas was among the Navy vessels in escort convoys to Great Britain, then under attack by Germany and Italy.
Hardy said the purpose of the Pearl Harbor attack was to cripple the U.S. Pacific fleet so Japan could move unhindered into the South Pacific. Although the attack was a success, Hardy said it was a gigantic blunder.
"The reason I say it was a gigantic blunder is because that attack cured isolationism in America and replaced it with a population, a government and industrial base with a single-minded determination to win the war and punish the aggressor," Hardy said.
He said that Japan's greatest admiral also realized the effect that an attack without a declaration of war would have. Hardy quoted Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto as saying, "It will not do to cut a sleeping throat."
Referring to the famous "day that will live in infamy" speech by then-President Roosevelt, Hardy said he prays that never again will anyone hear such a message as he heard on Dec. 8, 1941.
Among the Pearl Harbor survivors attending the ceremony were Howard Snell, who is president of the local chapter, and Charley H. Reddick, an association member.
Snell said he was attending cook's and baker's school at Pearl and had just finished breakfast when the attack began.
Because of the fear of a Japanese invasion, Snell said that three days after the attack, the cooks baked field bread, which could be issued as emergency rations.
After the war, Snell remained in the Navy and served in naval intelligence, where he helped develop sophisticated listening systems to track submarines around the world.
Reddick said he may have been a bit groggy that Sunday morning. The night before, there had been a "battle of the bands" among the various ships. And there was plenty of free beer.
"The Arizona won the contest, but they lost the battle," he said.
Reddick said he also had just finished breakfast when he heard the noise of the attack. At first, he thought it was a firing exercise, but then saw planes marked with red circles that he knew were not American.
A private first class assigned to the Marine 2nd Engineer battalion, Reddick said he was in Hawaii to help build a Marine training facility.
When he realized they were under attack, he said he tackled the hazardous job of clearing debris from Hickam field runways so that planes could take off in defense.
Reddick said that his efforts were rewarded by a commendation from Adm. Chester Nimitz, which brought promotion to corporal.
He was one of three brothers in the Pacific war. One was taken prisoner by the Japanese on Cavite during the initial Philippine campaign but survived. A younger brother was killed in Okinawa.
After the war, Reddick returned to civilian life in Houston, where he worked as a cement mason for 50 years.
Of the experience, Reddick said, ``I wouldn't go back through it for anything, but I wouldn't take a million dollars for it.''

1999
Traveling along County Road D-47 from Hopkinton to Ryan today, the careful observer will notice a small sign by the side of the road announcing the approach of “Buck Creek Community POP. 32. The person or group placing the sign there was apparently conforming to the way in which the U.S. Bureau of the Census has helped train us to think about places in the late twentieth century. There probably are thirty two people who live in the less than half dozen houses huddled around the small Methodist church near where Lime Creek, or “Buck Creek” crosses the road. Nonetheless, Buck Creek formerly was a much larger place, both in terms of population and territory. About 150 yards west of the church stands a large dilapidate brick building, a former school with gymnasium attached, presently used to store the farm equipment and grain of one of the gigger farm operations in the area. “BUCK CREEK CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL” is emblazoned on a large cement tablet prominently displayed on the fron of the building abovce its main entrance. From a census derived conception of place, this building seems strangely out of place. It si much too large for there not to be some visible evidence of Buck Creek having consisgted of many more than the half dozen or so buildings there now.
The Buck Creek Methodist Church and the Buck Creek Consolitdated School were once imbued with far more significance of place, of community, and even of personal identity for people in southern Delaware County thanb they are now. The Buck Creek Church and school were once significant social actors in themselves, giving definition and meaning rto a larger and, in a sense, far more cosmopolitan place called Buck Creek. In the Buck Creek referred to here, there was no need for a road sign announcing either its approach or its population size. That Buck Creek was visible in the landscape, but one had to know what to look for and realize that place was not a thing but a process.[69]
1999: Population of Jerusalem in the latest census (Jewish Rule), 633,700.[70] Although Jerusalem was in Moslem hands for nearly 1,200 years (interrupted only by the short period of the Crusader kingdom), most of the time the rulers were non-Arab Moslems, such as the Fatimids, Seljuks, Mamluks, and Ottoman Turks. The decline in population under Moslem rule shows the insignificant role Jerusalem played in Moslem eyes.[71]

On the morning of December 7, 1941 a surprise military attack was conducted by aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy against the U.S. Pacific Fleet being moored in Pearl Harbor becoming a major catalyst for the United States entering World War II. In the devastating attack over 2,400 people were killed and thousands wounded, and dozens of Navy vessels with were either sunk or destroyed.

[1]The Great Meadows were four miles east of the Laurel Hill, and ten miles east of the present Uniontown, Fayette county, Pennsylvania,—on the National road, forty-two miles from what is now Cumberland, Maryland. Here, in April, 1754, Washington built Fort Necessity, which was surrendered to the French in July following.
[2]Washington left Mount Vernon on the 5th of October, 1770, on his journey to the Ohio river, reaching the home of Crawford on the 13th. On the next day, in his journal, which has been frequently published, he wrote:
”At Captain Crawford’s all day. Went to see a coal-mine not far from his house, on the banks of the river [Youghiogheny]. The coal seemed to be of the very best kind, burning freely, and abundance of it.” On the next day he says: “Went to view some land which Captain Crawford had taken up for me near the Youghiogheny, distant about twelve miles [in what is now Fayette county. Pennsylvania; Perryopolis is located upon this land]. ‘This tract, which contains about one thousand six hundred acres, includes some as fine land as ever I saw, and a great deal of rich meadow. It is well watered, and has a valuable mill-seat, except that the stream is rather too slight, and, it is said, not constant more than seven or eight months in the year; but on account of the fall and other conveniences, no place can exceed it. In going to this land, I passed through two other tracts, which Captain Crawford had taken up for my brothers Samuel and John. I intended to have visited the land which Crawford had procured for Lund Washington this day also, but time falling short I was obliged to postpone it. Night came on before I got back to Crawford’s, where I found Colonel [Adam] Stephen.” . . . On the 16th he wrote: “At Captain Crawford’s till the evening, when I went to Mr. John Stephenson’s [Crawford’s half-brother], on my way to Pittsburgh, and lodged.”
Crawford accompanied Washington down the Ohio to the mouth of the Great Kanawha, After an examination of the land some distance up the latter stream, they returned, reaching Crawford’s home on the 24th of November. Washington left for Mount Vernon the next day, the ground being covered with snow; hence the allusion to “the snow that fell,” in the above letter.
[3] George Croghan, a native of Ireland, first settled upon the Susquehanna, where, in 1746, he was engaged in the Indian trade. He afterward was agent for Pennsylvania among the Indians upon the Ohio and its tributaries, lie erected a fort at the site of the present Slurleysburg, Huntingdon county, Pennsylvania. Early in the French War he was a captain; but, in 1756, he threw up his commission and repaired to Sir William Johnson, who appointed him a deputy Indian agent of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Indians. After Pontiac’s War, he lived at his settlement upon the east side of the Alleghany river, four miles above Fort Pitt., where, as Sir William’s deputy, he continued very efficient. Here, Washington visited him on the 19th of October, 1770.

[5]The purpose of Pendleton’s visit was to get the contract for the land that GW had agreed to sell him on 6 June. GW signed it on the following day, witnessed by Lund Washington, Valentine Crawford, and Jacky Custis (CctMMCH)

[6] Captain Crawford was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, in 1722; had served in the Virginia Regiment with Washington in 1758, and took an active part in Pontiac’s War of 1763. He first went to the Youghiogheny to perfect his settlement in the summer of 1765, and the next year brought his wife and three children across the mountain to their new home. Washington first wrote him to pick out some good land for purchase in 1767, and also sought the aid of Colonel John Armstrong, at Carlisle, to secure surveys from the Penns for these western lands, as early as 1767, and also sought the aid of Colonel John Armstron, at Carlisle, to secure surveys from the Penns for these western lands, as early as 1767. Colonel George Croghan sought to sell Washinton larger tracts than Washington wanted, and was very insistent about it, and the former declined to purchase. As late as December 6, 1771, despite his seekin of land rights from the Penns, and even after Crawford became a justice in the courts of Bedford County, Washington disclosed the designs of Virginia by his letter to Crawford. Annals of Southwestern Pennsylvania by Lewis Clark Walkinshaw, Vol. I pg. 355
[7]By “the charter government” is here to be understood the government of Virginia. Washington’s idea was, that its jurisdiction wou’d soon be extended to the Ohio, with power to grant lands, etc. which, as yet, had not been the case.
[8] Dr. James McMechen (whose name is found frequently written McMahan or MeMahon) was an early settler upon the Ohio.
