February 18, 1564: Martin Luther passed away. Luther was a significant figure in the movement to reform Christianity. He extended the hand of friendship to the Jews, thinking that he could win them over to his side with kindness. When the Jews rejected his goal - conversion - Luther turned on them. By 1544, he was publishing a pamphlet entitled "Concerning the Jews and Their Lies." Jews were characterized as “venomous, virulent, thieves, brigands and disgusting vermin." According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, "'...Luther's ferocious castigation of the Jews provided fuel for anti-Semites and vicious force of that legacy was still evident in Nazi propaganda.'"[2]
February 18, 1574: An auto-de-fe took place in Mexico City; nearly 100 people were sentenced that day, including New Christians.[3]
February 18, 1577: The Jews of Safed requested assistance from the Sultan for persecution by local officials. In a letter to the local Ottoman officials, the Sultan told his people that the Jews, "have complained of wrong done to them." The Jews were forced to pay high taxes, transport dung on Saturdays, were levies tolls on the road to Damascus, and were beaten with a strip of metal. The Sultan ordered his people not to molest the Jews, to investigate and give back what the Jews are owed.[4]
February 18, 1723: In Prussia a revised form of the "Aeltesten-reglement" (Constitution of the Jewish Community) was issued. The original document which was supposed to be read every in the synagogue was issued in March of 1722.[5]

BRASSERTON, 18th Feby. 1774.
DEAR SIR,
Your favour of the 25th Jany I receiv’d last night, & am sorry to tell You that my Voice was long since engaged to Mr. Madison (our Professor of Mathematics) for his Brother: had my good friend Col: Washington made the least mention to me of Capn: Crawford, he might have been assur’d, I would gladly have oblig’d him. The Revd: Mr. Thruston the 1St Instant wrote to me recommending Capn: Wm. Rutherford (who deliver’d the letter) and Capn: Crawford; I told Capn: Rutherford , that I should take great pleasure in serving them both, but was afraid I could not, as I had heard Capn. Bullett’s ill conduct had occasion’d an order of Council not to appoint any more Extra-Surveyors how true this report may be, I cannot with certainty affirm.
The best method that I can point out for Capn: Crawford is to get a Deputation from the Surveyor of the County in whose Precinct the Part he desires is contain’d; if he can do that, I hope he will succeed, especially if he is expeditious in his Application. Our City has long expected the Arrival of Lady Dunmore: Bon-fires, Illuminations &c. have been order’d these ten Days, but none yet lighted. My best respects attend Mrs. Washington, who I should be very glad in having the pleasure once more to see,
February 18, 1776: From Norfolk, Virginia, Royal Governor John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, dispatches a note to William Legge, 2nd Earl of Dartmouth, expressing his "inexpressible mortification" that British Major General Sir Henry Clinton had been ordered to the "insignificant province of North Carolina to the neglect of this the richest and powerfully important province in America." Dunmore was facing expulsion from Virginia at the hands of the Patriots and was deeply insulted that the army chose to defend its claims to the less significant colony of North Carolina instead of the economically and politically vital colony of Virginia.
Having departed New York on February 12, General Clinton met with Governor Dunmore in Hampton Roads, Virginia, on February 17 while en route to Cape Fear, North Carolina; he was forced to remain in Hampton Roads until February 27 due to stormy weather. Clinton finally reached North Carolina on March 12, by which time the North Carolina Loyalists had been routed at Moore's Creek Bridge on February 27. The royal governors of North and South Carolina met Clinton to give him the bad news, but Commodore Peter Parker and Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis had not yet arrived from Cork, Ireland, to support Clinton in his efforts to suppress the American rebellion. After waiting until May 31, 1776, for the last of the contingency to arrive from Cork, Clinton contemplated moving the British forces to the Chesapeake Bay, since North Carolina had already fallen to the Patriots, but Parker convinced him to head instead for Charleston, South Carolina.
Abandoned again, Dunmore returned to England after the publication of the Declaration of Independence in July 1776. The county named in his honor in 1772 was renamed Shenandoah County in 1778. His hunting lodge, Porto Bello, where he first fled the Patriot uprising, remains on the National Register of Historic Places for York County, Virginia.[10]
February 18th 1781: In a letter dated Wissenstein, November 16, 1780, from His Serene Highness, to Lieutenant Colonel Graf, which was received today, Captains Hessenmueller….promoted to major. [11](Possible connection to Gottlob in baptism) JG
Baptismal and marriage records of Christ Lutheran Church and Trinity Lutheran Church in New York City, read before I found Cรถster’s identification of Franz as a Catholic, failed to find any record for Franz Gottlob.[1][12]

Here is a little history from Berks County, PA. On the east side
of Reading I came across a historical marker. It is just west of
Schwartzwald Hill, where Schwartzwald UCC and Lutheran Churches are.
The marker reads
HESSIAN CAMP
After Burgoyne’s surrender, 1777, German mercenaries, mostly Hessian, were held prisoners at various places until the end of the war. Those brought to Reading, 1781, were encamped until 1783
in huts on the hillside a quarter—mile to the north.

The closest road that winds up the hill is Hessian Road (what else).
About 1/4 mile up the road it splits. Most of the houses on a
side road are built in the style of the German A er

At the time of the American Revolution, the Landgrave was living with his second wife. He was about sixty years old, and seems to have become comparatively steady in his habits. He was a good man of business. His troops, drilled on the Prussian system, and recruited in a measure among his own subjects by conscription, were good soldiers. His army in 1781 numbered twenty-two thousand, while the population of his territories was little above three hundred thousand souls; but many foreigners were enticed into the service, and a few of the regiments were not kept permanently under the banners, but spent the larger part of the year disbanded, and met only for a few weeks of drill ("Briefe eines Reisenden.") Frederick took a personal interest in his army, and corresponded with his officers in America, making the hand and eye of the master usefully felt. He took pains with the internal affairs of his country, leaving, indeed, a full treasury at his death. He founded schools and museums, and, like all his family, loved costly buildings. When he sent twelve thousand men to America he diminished the taxes of his remaining subjects, and though these were sad and down-trodden, though they mourned their sons and brothers sent to fight in a strange quarrel beyond the sea, we may linger for a moment regretfully over Frederick of Hesse-Cassel, for he dealt in good wares, he showed some personal dignity, and he was one of the least disreputable of the princes who sent mercenaries to America. [16]
1784: February 19, Following James Connell to the Youghiogheny, came his half— brother William and half-sister Rachel, who married Reason Began; an older brother Zachariah, who later founded Connellsville, and a younger brother Thomas. James Connell’s name is third in a list of twenty-four names on Lt. John Hickston’s Roll of Virginia Soldiers of 1776.. He supposedly died during the early part of the Revolutionary period, for later record of him seems to be lacking. It is quite likely that Ann was a widow prior to January 24, 1777, at which time her father acquired a deed from Ezekial Hickman, etal (and others), party of the one part, for three hundred acres, more or less, containing the home where Ann Connell and her family were living. Below the signature of William Crawford, party of the other part, was also the signature of Ann Connell and the document was witnessed by Providence Mounts, Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Moore, all of that date of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The deed recorded February 18, 1784. It became part of Colonel William Crawford’s estate that was left to Ann in his will, signed on May 16, 1782, before the tragic Sandusky Expedition. Will Book 1, page 9, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.[17]

February 18, 1812: Susans Simmons Winans[19] was born February 18, 1812. When she was six months old, and with her parents at Ft. Dearborn[20] at the massacre there; August 15, 1812. Her father was killed, and her mother and she were taken prisoners by the Indians, and held six months or more; a little brother 3 years old was also killed. In the following Spring, mother, with Susan made her way to friends in Miami Co., Ohio. Susan was the mother of Ester Winans, William Harrison Goodlove’s first wife.
The massacre followed the evacuation of the fort as ordered by the U.S. General William Hull. This event is also sometimes known as the Battle of Fort Dearborn. Fort Dearborn’s commander Captain Nathan Heald ordered all whiskey and gunpowder to be destroyed so it would no be seized by the local Indian tribes allied with the British, although he had agree to these terms a few hours earlier. He then prepared to abandon his post. Heald remained at Fort Dearborn until support arrived from Fort Wayne, Indiana, led by his wife’s uncle, Captain Wells. A column of 148 soldiers, women children then left Fort Dearborn intending to march to Fort Wayne. However, about one and a half miles (2 km) south of Fort Dearborn, at about what is now 18th Street and Prairie Avenue, a band of Potawatomi warriors ambushed the garrison, killing more than fifty and capturing the remainder as prisoners to sell to the British as slaves. The British purchased the captives and released them immediately afterwards.
Fort Dearborn was burned to the ground, and the region remained empty of U.S. citizens until after the war had ended.
Survivors' accounts differed on the role of the Miami warriors. Some said they fought for the Americans, while others said they did not fight at all. Regardless, William Henry Harrison claimed the Miami fought against the Americans, and used the Fort Dearborn massacre as a pretext to attack the Miami villages. Miami chief Pacanne and his nephew, Jean Baptiste Richardville, accordingly ended their neutrality in the War of 1812 and allied with the British. [21]

February 18, 1813: General Winchester did not fare so well in the North. He was defeated by British and Indians under General Henry Proctor at the river Raisin near present day Monroe, Michigan. After this defeat, Proctor permitted the Indians to massacre their captives. William Henry Harrison was then promoted to Major General and appointed Commander-In-Chief of the Army in the Northwest.
His first moved was to establish a stronghold in Northwestern Ohio. The location was the South Bank of the Maumee River near present day Toledo. It was well positioned, strongly built, and of very large size. This was Fort Meigs, named for Ohio Governor Jonathan Meigs. The fort was built in the Winter of 1813 and during the Winter and Spring, troops, supplies and cannon poured in. On February 18, Batteal Harrison arrived with the 19th Infantry. [28]
February 1814:ARCHIBALD "ARCHIE"7 CRAWFORD (JOSEPH "JOSIAH"6, VALENTINE5, VALENTINE4, WILLIAM3, MAJOR GENERAL LAWRENCE2, HUGH1) was born March 09, 1772 in Culpeper County, Virginia, and died March 27, 1866 in Breathitt County, Kentucky. He married MARGARET BROWN December 07, 1801 in Bourbon county, Kentucky.
February 1814: Notes for ARCHIBALD "ARCHIE" CRAWFORD: Served in the War of 1812 as sergeant under General William Henry Harrison when they defeated theIndians at the Battle of Tippecanoe at Lafayette, IN on November 7, 1811. Archibald was wounded by an arrow in this battle. He continued to serve until he was mustered out of service in February 1814, when he returned to Miller's Creek, Estill Co., KY. He was granted 20,000 acres of land in the Middle Fork River area for his military services. [29]
February 1817: Legend states that Abraham Lincoln shot a wild turkey but hated the experience and never hunted again. [30]
February 1817 –The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions established Brainerd Mission across the river from the town of Chickamauga on land given to them by John McDonald, former British agent to the Cherokee, which once the site of his trading post. Like the Moravian mission at Spring Place, the mission's most important feature was its school.[31]
In February 1819, Representative James Tallmadge of New York introduced a bill that would admit Missouri into the Union as a state where slavery was prohibited. At the time, there were 11 free states and 10 slave states. Southern congressmen feared that the entrance of Missouri as a free state would upset the balance of power between North and South, as the North far outdistanced the South in population, and thus, U.S. representatives. Opponents to the bill also questioned the congressional precedent of prohibiting the expansion of slavery into a territory where slave status was favored.
Even after Alabama was granted statehood in December 1819 with no prohibition on its practice of slavery, Congress remained deadlocked on the issue of Missouri. Finally, a compromise was reached. On March 3, 1820, Congress passed a bill granting Missouri statehood as a slave state under the condition that slavery was to be forever prohibited in the rest of the Louisiana Purchase north of the 36th parallel, which runs approximately along the southern border of Missouri. In addition, Maine, formerly part of Massachusetts, was admitted as a free state, thus preserving the balance between Northern and Southern senators.
The Missouri Compromise, although criticized by many on both sides of the slavery debate, succeeded in keeping the Union together for more than 30 years. In 1854, it was repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which dictated that slave or free status was to be decided by popular vote in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska; though both were north of the 36th parallel.[32]
February 18, 1820: APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Ohio. This was a suit in Chancery, and the case upon the facts admitted by the parties, was as follows: Previous to the year 1775, Hugh Stephenson, of Virginia, lived and cohabited with Ann Whaley, and had by her the appellants in this cause, whom he recognized as his children. In July, 1775, he made his will, in which he described the appellants as the children of himself, and of his wife Ann, and devised the whole of his property to them, and to their mother. In July, 1776, he intermarried with the said Ann Whaley, and died the succeeding month, leaving her pregnant with a child, which was afterwards born, and was named Richard. The will was duly proved after the death of the testator. In June, 1776, the testator was appointed a colonel in the Virginia line, upon continental establishment, and died in the service. After his death, and the birth of Richard, a warrant for 6,666 and two-thirds acres of military lands, was granted by the State of Virginia to the said Richard, who died in the year 1796, in his minority, without wife or children, and without having located or disposed of the above warrant. His mother also died before the year 1796. The defendant claimed the land in controversy under John Stephenson, the elder paternal uncle of Richard; and the appellants having filed their bill in the Court below to recover the premises in question, the same was dismissed, and the cause was brought by appeal to this
February 1833 – President Jackson offers John Ross $3 million dollars and equivalent land in the west for those of the Cherokee Nation East; Ross refuses.[34]
February 1836 – The Treaty of New Echota was overwhelmingly rejected by the Cherokee National Council meeting at Red Clay.[35]
February 18, 1856: The American Party, also known as the "Known-Nothing Party," convenes in Philadelphia to nominate its first presidential candidate.
The Know-Nothing movement began in the 1840s, when an increasing rate of immigration led to the formation of a number of so-called nativist societies to combat "foreign" influences in American society. Roman Catholic immigrants from Ireland and Italy, who were embraced by the Democratic Party in eastern cities, were especially targeted. In the early 1850s, several secret nativist societies were formed, of which the "Order of the Star-Spangled Banner" and the "Order of United Americans" were the most significant. When members of these organizations were questioned by the press about their political platform, they would often reply they knew nothing, hence the popular name for the Know-Nothing movement.
In 1854, the Know-Nothings allied themselves with a faction of Whigs and ran for office in several states, calling for legislation to prevent immigrants from holding public office. By 1855, support for the Know-Nothings had expanded considerably, and the American Party was officially formed. In the same year, however, Southerners in the party sought to adopt a resolution calling for the protection of slavery, and some anti-slavery Know-Nothings defected to the newly formed Republican Party.
On February 18, 1856, the American Party met to nominate it first presidential candidate and to formally abolish the secret character of the organization. Former president Millard Fillmore of New York was chosen, with Andrew Donelson of Tennessee to serve as his running mate. In the subsequent election, Fillmore succeeded in capturing only the state of Maryland, and the Know-Nothing movement effectively ceased to exist.[36]
February 18, 1861: On this day in 1861, Jefferson Davis, a veteran of the Black Hawk and Mexican-American Wars, begins his term as provisional president of the Confederate States of America. As it turned out, Davis was both the first and last president of the ill-fated Confederacy, as both his term and the Confederacy ended with the Union's 1865 victory in the Civil War.
Born in Kentucky and raised in Mississippi, Davis graduated from West Point in 1828. In 1824, at the age of 26, he married his first wife, Sarah, the 16-year-old daughter of then-Colonel Zachary Taylor, against Taylor's wishes. The marriage ended after only three months when Sarah died of malaria. Davis remarried at age 37 in 1845, this time to a prominent 17-year-old Southern socialite and budding author named Varnia Howell.
Upon his election to the House of Representatives in 1844, Davis immediately put his pro-slavery vote into action, opposing the Compromise of 1850 and other policies that would have limited the expansion of slavery into new American territories. He interrupted his political service in 1851 to fight in the Mexican-American War, during which his bravery and success prompted then-General Taylor to declare My daughter, sir, was a better judge of men than I was.
Following the war, Davis accepted an appointment to fill a suddenly vacant Mississippi seat in the U.S. Senate, but resigned after only a year to launch an unsuccessful bid for the governorship of Mississippi. Davis then campaigned for Franklin Pierce's presidential campaign; upon winning, Pierce rewarded him with the post of secretary of war in 1853. In this capacity, Davis proved instrumental in advocating for the development of a transcontinental railroad. When Pierce lost his presidential reelection bid, Davis ran for a Senate seat and won.
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.[37]
February 1862: Lincoln’s third and favorite son, Willie, died of typhoid fever. He was just 11 years old.[38]
February 1862: Boteler, Alexander Robinson, a Representative from Virginia; born in Shepherdstown, Jefferson County, Va. (now West Virginia), May 16, 1815; was graduated from Princeton College in 1835; engaged in agriculture and literary pursuits; elected as the candidate of the Opposition Party to the Thirty-sixth Congress (March 4, 1859-March 3, 1861); during the Civil War entered the Confederate Army and was a member of Stonewall Jackson’s staff; chosen by the State convention a Representative from Virginia to the Confederate Provisional Congress November 19, 1861; elected from Virginia to the Confederate Congress, serving from February 1862 to February 1864; appointed a member of the Centennial Commission in 1876; appointed a member of the Centennial Commission in 1876; appointed a member of the Tariff Commission by President Arthur and a member and subsequently made pardon clerk in the Department of Justice by Attorney General Brewster; died in Shepherdstown, Jefferson County, W. Va., May 8, 1892; interment in Elmwood Cemetery.[39]
February 18, 1862: Dr. William McKinnon Goodlove (1st cousin, 3 times removed) and the 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Ordered to Paducah, Ky., February 18, 1862, Attached to District of Paducah, Ky., to March, 1862. [40]
February 18, 1863: "...About the 18th of Feby,(February 18) 1863 Col. Bill Penick stationed a Independence whose men were part Missourians and part Kansans sent a scout of about seventy five men sixteen miles south of Independence to the houses of Col. Jim Saunders and Uncle Jeptha Crawford, the scout arriving at the house of Saunders first, divided, one half going to Crawford's. Mrs. Saunders and her daughter prepared dinner for the half staying there, the Col. furnished feed for their horses, all went well until dinner was over, ( mind you that the snow was fourteen inches deep with the mercury 10 degrees below zero when Col. Saunders was placed under guard, the house burned, the women not allowed a bonnet or shawl. On leaving Saunders place, they told the wife they were going to take Col. to Independence and make him take the oath. On the arrival of this party at Crawford's practically the same scenes were enacted, except they snatched a lace cap from the head of Mrs. Crawford and they threw it in the flames of the burning building, they also told Mrs. Crawford that the men would not be hurt. On their way to Independence arriving at the house of James Burris, they dismounted Crawford and Saunders and shot them to death. It was such dastardly acts as the forgoing that caused the raid on Lawrence..." [41]
February 1864: The 18th Cav was part of the Confederate force that guarded the Shenandoah Valley in 1863 and 1864. It participated in the Valley Campaign of 1864, including the Battle of New Market (May 15), the Second Battle of Kernstown (July 24), the Third Battle of Winchester (September 19), the Battle of Cedar Creek (October 19) and remained in the Valley, usually the Page Valley in the east of the larger Shenandoah Valley, through the rest of the year, participating in several less-consequential engagements, and losing about forty percent of its members, killed, wounded, captured.
That winter Gen. Early dispersed the men of the 18th Cav to their home counties and in January-February 1865 the 18th did not act as a unified force. It was called together again when Sheridan moved up the Valley, but was unable to assemble before Early’s defeat at Waynesboro (March 2, 1865). The 18th performed scouting and picket duty in the central Valley in March. After Lee’s surrender in April, members of the 18th, individually and in small groups, surrendered at Winchester and Moorefield and received their paroles.[42]
February 1864: LUCRETIA "CRESSIE" CRAWFORD, b. May 03, 1778, Albemarle County, Virginia; d. February 1864, Sullivan County, Indiana; m. REESE JONES MORGAN, January 03, 1801, Bourbon county, Kentucky. [43]

In February 1865 a new exchange program was finally approved. Men at the Salisbury Prison were divided into two groups in order to be liberated. The largest group consisted of 3729 of the more able-bodied prisoners who were marched to Greensboro, North Carolina and then taken by train to Wilmington, North Carolina to be received by Confederate Major Robert F. Hoke. The second group, containing 1420 of the sickest prisoners was sent to Richmond. The Prison then became a supply depot, but it had no prisoners when on April 12, 1865 (3 days after Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox) Union General George Stoneman arrived in Salisbury to free the Federals. The Prison was burned, the only one recorded as having been destroyed in this manner. A confederate Government flag that once flew over the gates is now housed at the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh. [49]
February 1874: Needing both access to the public and additional inccme, Zebulon Baird Vance began a second career which would continue until his health failed more than two decades later. He became a public speaker who addressed non-public issues before groups across the eastern part of the United States. The earliest and most popular of these addresses was "The Scattered Nation" which was first delivered in Baltimore in February 1874. This history of the Jewish people proved to be iitmensely popular and was requested by groups throughout the united States and Canada. Vance proved willing to do considerable secondary research and dealt with scholarly evidence as well as material from the Bible.(85) What was most striking about the speech was Vance's call for an end to attacks on Jews just as anti-Semitism was on the rise in America. One quotation will illustrate the liberality of his position: "Let us learn to judge the Jew as we judge other men• by his merits . And above all, let us cease the abominable injustice of holding the class responsible for the sins of the individual ."(86) Both Jews and gentiles flocked to hear this address, and Vance may have delivered it.as many as two dozen times.[50]
In February 1885, the Washington Monument was formally dedicated, and three years later it was opened to the public, who were permitted to climb to the top of the monument by stairs or elevator. The monument was the tallest structure in the world when completed and remains today, by District of Columbia law, the tallest building in the nation's capital.[51]
February 18, 1909: On this date in 1909, U.S. President William Howard Taft received his 1st degree in Kilwinning Lodge #356, Cincinnati, Ohio.[52]
February 18, 1913
The League laid out a program which covered a period of five months. Four departments were organized for service: The department of Spiritual Work, which became responsible for monthly devotional meetings; the Department of Recreation and Culture, which had for its business the arrangement of a series of social and literary evening for the following five months; the Department of Social Service, which, in cooperation with the State Agricultural College, made possible a program of five lectures of the things of greatest interest to the farmer; and the Department of World Evangelism, which provided a lantern slide lecture each month.

[26] In 1893, George Pullman had a sculpture he had commissioned from Carl Rohl-Smith erected near his house. It portrayed the rescue of Margaret Helm, the stepdaughter of Chicago resident John Kinzie[3] and wife of Lt. Linai Thomas Helm, [4] by Potawatomi chief Black Partridge, who led her and some others to Lake Michigan and helped her escape by boat. [5] The monument was moved to the lobby of the Chicago Historical Society in 1931. In the 1970s, however, American Indian groups protested the display of the monument, and it was removed. In the 1990s, the statue was reinstalled near 18th Street and Prairie Avenue, close to its original site. It was later removed for conservation reasons by the Office of Public Art of the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs.[6] There are some efforts to reinstall the monument, but it is meeting resistance from the Chicago American Indian Center.[5]
