Birthdays: James M. Cunningham 49, , Joseph Martin 135, Patricia Repstein Apple
Anniversary: Elia Jones and Perry A. McKee 119
February 7, 457: Leo I becomes emperor of the Byzantine Empire. As can be seen from this decree, Leo was no friend of the Jewish people. "Therefore We, desiring to accomplish what Our Father failed to effect, do hereby annul all the old laws enacted with reference to the Hebrews, and We order that they shall not dare to live in any other manner than in accordance with the rules established by the pure and salutary Christian Faith. And if anyone of them should be proved to, have neglected to observe the ceremonies of the Christian religion, and to have returned to his former practices, he shall pay the penalty prescribed by the law for apostates." Jews who converted in public but were found practicing “the faith of their fathers” faced a variety of punishments including loss of estates and possession, loss of the right to transfer property to their heirs and/or loss of life.[1]
February 7, 1550: Julius III becomes Pope. Julius had mixed record where it concerned the Jewish people which made better than most of his contemporaries or others who served as Pope. Julius confirmed the rights of the Jews in Ancona. “He condemned the blood libel and forbade baptism of Jewish children without parental consent.” At the same time, he was unable to stand up against the power of the Holy Office. Under pressure from the Inquisitor General he collected copies of the Talmud and other Jewish books and burned them.[2]
1551 Bishop Edmund Becke’s Bible.[3]
1551 Jews expelled from Bavaria.[4] The few Jews remaining in the duchy of \Bavaria were expelled. Subsequently, Jewish settlement in Bavaria ceased until toward the end of the 17th century, when a small community was founded in Sulzbach by refugees from Vienna.[1][2] [5]
AD 1551 - Russian Orthodox council authorizes Sabbath worship in Russian churches.[6]
February 7, 1771: GW had called a meeting of the officers of the Virginia Regiment at Winchester on March 4 to report on the trip down the Ohio River that he had made the previous fall (Va. Gaz., P&D, January 31., February 7,., February 14, 1771).
Triplets: the ordinary of James and William Carr Lane at Newgate (no Centreville), Va.[7]
February 7, 1753: Anne the 1st daughter of Daniel McKinnon and Ruth his wife
Born February 7, 1753 Ruth the 2"'1 daughter of Daniel McKinnon and Ruth his wife
Born December 4 1755(35) The insertion that Eleanor was illegitimate was clearly added after the original entry. The entries for Anne and Ruth were made considerably after their birth and also after Eleanor's birth entry since the Mary White entry of October 6, 1759 occurred in between.
The entry for Eleanor provides the mother, Ruth McKinnon, but fails to specify the father and when the entry is read in the context of the entries for Anne and Ruth clearly establish that the father was not Daniel McKinnon. Interestingly, Rev. Ege's description of Eleanor's pedigree never specifies a mother and only claims that she was the daughter of a male Howard. Additionally, nothing can be found in the available records directly linking Eleanor McKinnon with any father.

At this point it seems reasonable to assume that Eleanor Howard and Eleanor McKinnon are in fact the same person and test this assumption in the light of facts that can be found in the available records. [8]
February 7, 1774
In recent months Michael Cresap had grown disenchanted with the Redstone Creek area: it had become rowdy and congested, filled with transients tramping all over one’s property. So when a pair of brothers named Brown showed up one day and offered to buy all his claims fronting on the Monongahela just south of Redstone Creek, he sold out to them. The Brown brothers immediately began laying out a town on the land and called it Brownsville, while Cresap used the money he got to equip himself well for the claiming he meant to do down the Ohio this spring. In addition he had formed a loose association with George Rogers Clark and William Crawford, who were actively employed by the Ohio Land Company and looking to the establishment of a new colony beginning at the mouth of the Kanawhaa, Even more exciting——and dangerous, was the fact that George Washington, one of the founding members of the company. was not only intent on claiming some 200,000 acres along the Ohio but had hired John Floyd to locate lands right in the midst of the Shawnee territory in Ohio - His orders to Floyd were to claim for him some 10,000 acres of prime bottom lands in the valley of the Scioto. [9]
February 7, 1775 - Benjamin Harrison headed a party of Virginia partisans who broke open the jail at Hannastown and released the prisoners. Harrison had orders from William Crawford to "press Horses, Raise men, &c, Go to Hanna's Town, open the Gaol Doors and Set the Prisoners at Liberty."[10] On February 7, 1775, Benjamin Harrison was the leader of a squad of militia which broke open the door of the jail at Pittsburgh with a sledge hammer and released three prisoners. "Harrison was pleased to announce that it was done at the command of Major William Crawford". (Crawford was the Father-in-law of Benjamin's brother William.)." He further asserted that these orders empowered him 'to press horses and what was necessary, and to go to Hanna's Town(4) to open the gaol and let the prisoners go out.' This command, also, he proceeded to carry out. In the course of the expedition, two Pennsylvania constables, Captain James Smith and Edward Murray, were apprehended for daring to execute the duties of their office. It was reported that the party had authority to shoot any Pennsylvania officer who dared to oppose them in the execution of the orders. In the face of such threats, the Westmoreland Justices and their sheriff had little heart for carrying out their duties. [11]
February 7th, 1775
On the 7th of February, 1775, in the morning , before the people of the town were out of bed, a party headed by Benjamin Harrison, son-in-law of William Crawford, and one Samuel Wilson, by order of Crawford, broke open the doors of the jail with a sledge, which they got out of the blacksmith-shop near by,and let out the prisoners therein confined, three in number, teling the to cler the way. On that occasion Mr. Hanna poked his head out of the cockloft window of the mansion-house, which, never to be forgotten, was also the temple of justice, and made the remark, “Boys, you are up early to-day to buy a rope to hang yourselves.” Hanna appeared on the ground, and Sheriff John Carnahan, also there, had the riot act read to the crowd, who jeered at him and made mouths, grimaces, and very disparaging remarks, intended for the Governor’s province in general, and the magistrates there present in particular. Hanna had a musket pointed at his head. On the 25th of the month Hanna and Cavet were taken into custody and confined in the guard-room at Fort Pitt, and were there detained in confinement above three months.[12]
There was by this time a distinctive line drawn between the jurisdiction and the claims of the two colonies, and each of these had its adherents. Many of the most prominent had not given up the hope that the disturbances would be settled without difficulty, attributing that the most of the present troubles came from some hot-headed and rash men. But in the state of affairs getting still more complicated, and which had called demands from the Council of the king, and advices from the Continental Congress, it was not unreasonable that men of high character in every respect should be held by the ties which bound them under every consideration to their own colony. We are, therefore, not surprised to know that a s strenuously as Penn’s settlers and his agents advocated their rights and his claims, so as strenuously on the other side and as naturally did such men as Crawford and Gibson take the side of Virginia. In January of 1775 the Executive Council of Pennsylvania having had information that William Crawford, the president judge of Westmoreland, sided with the Virginians in opposing the justices of Pennsylvania, the Council advised the Governor to supersede him in the office of judge, which was done forthwith.
But of the troubles of the settlers during the fall and winter of 1774 and 1775 these were of the least. During the preceding summer the crops had been neglected, and winter found them unprepared. At the termination of Dunmore’s war a goodly number, as was always the case on the frontier, had returned to their former homes, and this accession of inhabitants, who were consumers and not producers, had a distressful effect. They could not have come in a worse time, for the amount of provisions gathered was barely sufficient for those that had remained. The harvest of 1774 at best had been scanty; along the southern border it had not been gathered at all. This season came very near to what the preceding year had been to Western Virginia, a year which in their annals was long remembered as the “starving year.” But with that generosity which was a noble and a prominent trait among the early settlers, each assisted the other. And this was but the prelude to a long era of want and privation, necessity, and contant alarm, which was terminated only with the war which secured the independence of the colonies.
Readers of general history are well conversant with the affairs which were taking place in Massachusetts and at Philadelphia in the early part of 1775. We will pass them over with observing that they were sympathetically responded to and closely watched by our colonists. Already were some, by more ways than one, controlling the actions of all.
From noticed of foregoing statements it will be observed that the whole people, as a body, at these early times may readily be separated into two classes, between which was a prominent line of demarcation. Although we alluded incidentally to this distinction before, at no other time is it more suitable to recall it than now. And this distinction is notecable all through our early affairs, and indeed is noticeable at all times and among all people. We may call them respectively, aristocrats and plebeians, gentry and commonalty; they are, in reality, the leaders and the followers. The class of which the county justices were themost prominent representatives, together with others who, in a military station, were equally prominent, deserves more than a passing notice. These were the ones who shaped the measures which received the approval of the people. As to these justices, we can at almost all times bear testimony to their integrity, and to their good, sound common sense They reflect honor upon their lineage in the capacity of judges, the arbiters of right and wrong. But besides this knowledge, which it is certain they possessed, an accompanying and an indispensable qualification for a prominent man was that he have some knowledge of arms. Nearly every man of that day distinguished as a leader in civil affairs was also a military man. Indeed, from the incessant wars, to be a man distinguished above the others was to be one who commanded the respect of his followers by having displayed more than ordinary bravery or knowledge of warfare. Of this class of men St. Clair, Capt. James Smith, Capt. Proctor, Col. Lochry were fitting examples with us; while those at Pittsburgh, Cols. Crawford, John Neville, John Gibson may be noticed. To have acquired a seat in the Assmbly, or a nomination as a justice of the peace, or of the quorum, was about as much as to say that the one so specially favored was, or had been, a leader in the militia.
The military organization of the Province had been early attended to, and no less from necessity was it than from a desire of glory that every citizen had a tincture of the manual of arms and of camp discipline. The justices of the peace were usually officers in the militia. St. Clair, Smith, Crawford, Neville had won a sort of pre-eminence in service before they were recognized as leaders in the civil affairs. The ideas of these men at the of our county at this conjuncture had been enlarged by connection with the more prominent men of the colonies, had been improved by observation, by travel, by reading, and by experience. So they were in manners, in information, in the possession of peculiar privileges and franchises bestowed by the colonial authorities, far above the great body of the people who came higher to earn their bread by drudgery, and clear a patch and rear a thatched cabin to shelter the heads of their ragged offspring; for these people, as a class, were poor to impoverishment. They had made little advancement in refinement, they were of different and distinct nationalities. Of all the early settlers they had no special claim above the others to the boasted liberty of those born under the common law of England. But it is with a peculiar satisfaction that the Westmorelander of today contemplates the proceedings of his ancestors in 1775.[13]
No. 28.—CRAWFORD TO WASHINGT0N.
February 7, 1775.
SIR :—Your letter by Mr. Cleveland was safely delivered to me; but I did not get the letter you mentioned by Mr. Willis till yesterday. I was out surveying when Mr. Cleveland came over the mountain, and he set off for home as soon as I came home, and matters were settled. I have a memorandum of what is wanting for your people down the river, and I shall have it ready against the time they come over the mountain. I would have sent down your plats by Mr. Cleveland, but he could not wait till they could be finished. However, Valentine Crawford is coming to Williamsburg, and then you shall have them sent to you. He will be down in a few days, which will, I hope, suit you as well, as he is coming, and will call at Mount Vernon on his way down. I am at a loss how to return you thanks for your generous present. All that I can do at any time shall always be done. If I can go down the river when you come, I will. And if you will but let me know what you may want got ready, it shall be done. I have a neat canoe that will suit to run down with; or you may go by land, as there is a road cut to Hockhocking. I shall write you more fully by Valentine Crawford, as Mr. Cleveland is in great haste to go to you, as he wants to be up again as soon as possible. I wish you all happmess.: I am, etc.[14]
February 7, 1775
Even before the Revolutionary year of 1776-1783, the Harrisons, if not also Thomas Moore, were actively, violently asserting themselves with the aim of acquiring new lands. In the years leading up to the Revolutionm, a bitter confrontation had developed between Virginia and Pennsylvania over the ownership and control of a region of western Pennsylvania, which had been claimed by the French and which extended westward from the frontier English settlements to and and west from the Ohio River. The dispute arose after the French were defeated at the end of the French and Indian War (1754-1763). The Ohio Company, a corporation selling land, was established to promote settlement and trade with the Shawnee and other tribes. Many of the earliest western PA settlers were from Virginia and Maryland and held “certificates” issued to them in Virginia, which warranted to them access to Ohio lands claimed by Pennsylvania. After 1780, with the passage in PA of slave emancipation legislation, numbers of settlers in western PA, migrated into Kentucky. Before they left, they worked hard to make western PA (and, by extension, the Ohio country) part of Virginia.
Jurisdiction was not settled until after the Revolutionary War, when the two states appointed a commission that surveyed the lands. This commission simply extended westward the accepted PA-MD state line (the Mason-Dixon Line) and determined (1785) that the contested lands belonged to Pennsylvania But for a decade or more, prior to the agreement, conflicting land sales, claims, occupations and disputed taxes and assessments caused fights, riots and arrests by local officiaols appointed by both PA and VA authorities.
In early 1775, Pennsylvania authorities had arrested some partisans of Virginia’s claim. On February 7, 1775, William and Benjamin Harrison, and possibly also with their sister’s husband, Thomas Moore, went with a ropwdy company of men to Pittsburgh, entered the local jail and released th prisoners, with threats to shoot anyone who interfered. This exercise was repeated (with the arrest of PA-sponsored local judges) in the nearby hamlet Hanna’s Town (Hannastown), PA. On this occasion, Ben Harrison “was pleased to announce that it was done at the command of Major William Crawford.” The popular Crawford (see Index) was a land agent for George Washington and Ben and William Harrison’s father in law. Apparently the Pittsburgh and Hanna’s Town hooligans, sponsored by Govbernor Dunmore of Virginia, were energized by the p[romise of grants of Western lands. Additional investigation might prove that the Kentucky lands Ben Harrison and Thomas Moore claimed after the 1775 foray into P{A was a reward for these violent gambits. Shortly after the Hanna’s Town incident, Benjamin Harrison led surveyors into Kentucky and laid off thousands of acres of land for himself, his brother William and also for Thomas Moore, his sister’s husband. T
homas lands included a claim on 900 Ohio acres (Pickaway County), along Mill Creekl, where he took legal possession in 1786; he supplemented this with a purchase of 1,000 additional Mill
Creek acres, as evidenced by his will. This reach north across the Ohio River was probably the earliest connection of the Moore family into Ohio, where son William would be well known and William’s son, Marmaduke Moore (1808-1883) would meet and marry Jane Baldwin (1809-1893),
Why would the Harrisons, with family ties to Pennsylvania, have been inclined to risk their lives to become enforcers of Virginia territorial claims against Pennsylvania in 1775? Why might Thomas Moore, with ancestral ties to Maryland for 120 years, have joined them? These events were part of the quest for more land. Thomas Moore had long since left Maryland and gone west. He was the youngest of four brothers; the oldest, John (1730-1812), had inherited Arcadia Plantation in MD, where he died, unmarried. By 1769, young Thomas had immigrated to the West Augusta District, Virginia Colony. He had first spent some time in nearby Fayette County, PA, which is probably where he had encountered the Harrisons, and specifically Mary, whom he married in Fayette County about 1778. By the middle of the 1780s Thomas and Mary Moore were living in that extension of Virgina known as Kentucky. A briedf look at VA and PA land policies in the 1760s and ‘70s suggest why Kentucky settlers would have been prompted to side with Virginia against Pennsylvania’s claims to lands along the eastern bank of the upper Ohio River.
Virginia’s colonial officials were much more aggressive in sponsoring western settlements than were Pennsylvania’s. Governor Dunmore of Virginia was offering outright grants of western land and was selling lands cheaper than PA was. Also, the Harrisons and Moores would have known that Pennsylvania, in October 1758, had achieved peace with some Ohio Country Indian’s by renouncing Pennsylvania’s claims to lands west of the Appalachian Mountains. They would have known that this agreement, the Treaty of Easton, had been made because Pennsylvania, with its Quaker and pacifist traditions, alsoays had been slow to raise and pay for local militia to protect European settlers in the western reaches of the coloney. The proprietary colonty of William Penn, with its political establishment divided between Quaker pacifists, PhilaDELPHIA MERCHANTS, AND IMPATIENT, LAND HUNGRY settlers, was indecisive. Pennsylvania’s political paralysis on western land issues could be worked to the advantage of Virginia, or so concluded manyt long established families in Virginia and Maryland, whose sons, like George Washington, were unable or unwilling to carve up and share the family’s traditional lands in the established colonies and were anxsious to get onto huge tracts of frontier acreage. [15] [16]
On February 7, 1775, Benjamin Harrison was the leader of a squad of militia which broke open the door of the jail at Pittsburgh with a sledge hammer and released three prisoners. "Harrison was pleased to announce that it was done at the command of Major William Crawford". (Crawford was the Father-in-law of Benjamin's brother William.)." He further asserted that these orders empowered him "to press horses and what was necessary, and to go to Hanna's Town [4] to open the gaol and let the prisoners go out." This command, also, he proceeded to carry out. In the course of the expedition, two Pennsylvania constables, Captain James Smith and Edward Murray, were apprehended for daring to execute the duties of their office. It was reported that the party had authority to shoot any Pennsylvania officer who dared to oppose them in the execution of the orders. In the face of such threats, the Westmoreland Justices and their sheriff had little heart for carrying out their duties.

February 7, 1786: Hardy County's first county court meeting took place on February 7, 1786 at William Bullitt's home in Moorefield. Jonathan Heath, Abraham Hite, Robert Pogue, Abel Ruddle, Stephen Ruddle, Felix Seymour, Michael Stump, William Vause, Garrett Van Meter, Job Welton, and Vincent Williams served as Justices of the Peace. Brigadier General Joseph Neville, of Mount Storm, was named County Sheriff. He previously served as Hampshire County's Surveyor and, at a later meeting, was named Hardy County Surveyor as well. Edward Williams was appointed County Clerk.[18]
The Treaty of Holston was a treaty between the United States government and the Cherokee signed on July 2, 1791, and proclaimed on February 7, 1792. It was signed by William Blount, governor in and over the territory of the United States south of the Ohio River, and superintendent of Indian affairs for the southern district for the United States and various representatives of the Cherokee peoples. The treaty established terms of relations between the United States and the Cherokee, and established that the Cherokee tribes were to fall under the protection of the United States, with the United States managing all future foreign affairs for all the loosely affiliated Cherokee tribes.
A monument to the treaty is located on the banks of the Tennessee River in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee.
Terms
This treaty mentions the following:
•Establishment of perpetual peace and friendship between the two peoples.
•Cherokees acknowledge protection of United States.
•Prisoners of war to be restored.
•Boundaries established between the Cherokee lands and the United States.
•Stipulation of a road by the United States.
•United States to regulate trade.
•Guarantees by the United States that the lands of the Cherokee people have not been ceded to the United States.
•No U.S. citizens may settle within the Cherokee lands; those who do may be punished by the Cherokee.
•No U.S. citizens may hunt within the Cherokee lands.
•The Cherokee must deliver up criminals to the United States.
•U.S. citizens committing crimes within the Cherokee areas are to be punished.
•Retaliation restrained by both nations.
•Cherokees to give notice of pending attacks by other tribes against the United States.
•United States to make presents to the Cherokees for the promotion of having the Cherokees take up an agrarian culture.
•Both peoples to cease any animosities held against each other.
An addendum to treaty was signed by Henry Knox, Secretary of War, representing the United States and representatives of the Cherokee on February 17, 1792, and proclaimed on the same day, which increased the annuities paid by the United States to the Cherokee leaders.[19]
February 7: 1812:On this day in 1812, the most violent of a series of earthquakes near Missouri causes a so-called fluvial tsunami in the Mississippi River, actually making the river run backward for several hours. The series of tremors, which took place between December 1811 and March 1812, were the most powerful in the history of the United States.
The unusual seismic activity began at about 2 a.m. on December 16, 1811, when a strong tremor rocked the New Madrid region. The city of New Madrid, located near the Mississippi River in present-day Arkansas, had about 1,000 residents at the time, mostly farmers, hunters and fur trappers. At 7:15 a.m., an even more powerful quake erupted, now estimated to have had a magnitude of 8.6. This tremor literally knocked people off their feet and many people experienced nausea from the extensive rolling of the earth. Given that the area was sparsely populated and there weren't many multi-story structures, the death toll was relatively low. However, the quake did cause landslides that destroyed several communities, including Little Prairie, Missouri.
The earthquake also caused fissures--some as much as several hundred feet long--to open on the earth's surface. Large trees were snapped in two. Sulfur leaked out from underground pockets and river banks vanished, flooding thousands of acres of forests. On January 23, 1812, an estimated 8.4-magnitude quake struck in nearly the same location, causing disastrous effects. Reportedly, the president's wife, Dolley Madison, was awoken by the tremor in Washington, D.C. Fortunately, the death toll was smaller, as most of the survivors of the first earthquake were now living in tents, in which they could not be crushed.
The strongest of the tremors followed on February 7. This one was estimated at an amazing 8.8-magnitude and was probably one of the strongest quakes in human history. Church bells rang in Boston, thousands of miles away, from the shaking. Brick walls were toppled in Cincinnati. In the Mississippi River, water turned brown and whirlpools developed suddenly from the depressions created in the riverbed. Waterfalls were created in an instant; in one report, 30 boats were helplessly thrown over falls, killing the people on board. Many of the small islands in the middle of the river, often used as bases by river pirates, permanently disappeared. Large lakes, such as Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee and Big Lake at the Arkansas-Missouri border, were created by the earthquake as river water poured into new depressions.
This series of large earthquakes ended in March, although there were aftershocks for a few more years. In all, it is believed that approximately 1,000 people died because of the earthquakes, though an accurate count is difficult to determine because of a lack of an accurate record of the Native American population in the area at the time.[20]

Mary Goodlove visits Mary Harrison buried at Poindexter Village, near Cynthiana, KY next to Thomas (Moore)
Thomas Moore was buried in Harrison County, in Poindexter, west of Cynthiana. A broken headstone reads: Sacred to the Memory of Thomas Moore, a Captain in the Army of the Revolution who died October 20, 1823, in the 78th year of his Life.
There is another headstone, which has a partial inscription today but which was copied some years ago:
Under the Stone are deposited the remains of Mary Moore Consort of Thomas Moore: A native of Virginia, Who died February 7, 1836 In the 75th year of her age To the memory of the fond wife kind parent good neighbor
The Lindsey Cemetery, which contains the Moore graves, is situated on private property, (the McNees farm) in Poindexter, a few miles west of the Cynthiana, KY. The cemetery is about a half mile east of and directly behind a highway marker identifying the location of the cemetery. The marker is on Harrison County Route 1743, “Carl Stephens Road.” You have to enter private property to get to the cemetery. Be nice.[22]
Tom. Moore was the Captain Moore who married Mary Harrison, born 1761; died February 7, 1836, a daughter of Lawrence and Catheren Harrison. He was born in Kent County, Maryland in 1745; died October 20, 1823, in Harrison County, Kentucky; buried next to his wife in Poindexter Village, near Cynthiana. [23]

To the Editor of the Raleigh Register[24]
From Zebulon Baird Vance
I observe this morning in the “Newbern Journal”, and attack upon the Greenville and French Broad Rail Road,[25]a bill for the incorporation of which passed this House sometime since, and is now before the Senate. This article is based upon such gross ignorance of the provisions of the bill and the geography of the country, and, above all, is conceived in such a spirit of unfairness towards that project, as to demand a refutatuion at the hands of the friends of that Road. This road does not run “from Charlotte, N. C., to Sparta, S. C.” and would not “make Charleston more accessible to the west than any of our weaport towns.” It runs from the Paint Rock, on the Tennessee line, through the Valley of the French Broad, in the direction of Greenville and Spartanburgh, S. C., and connects with the Central Road at the mouth of the Swannonoa. The gage of this road is to correspond with that of the Central Road, and gives it a connection with the East Tennessee and Virginia Road, and reaches out an arm toward Cincinnatia nd Chicago, thereby giving the North Carolina roads a chance for that immense trade which they never could otherwise have. In fact, the provisions of the bill were so carefully prepared, that the warmest friends of the great Central project are perfectlyu satisfied, not only with its non-interference with that cherished work, but that its operations will be decidedly advangtageous to it.
Permit me to regret sincerely, that the Editor of the Journal has not been personally present to exercise a paternal and superintending care over the well-meaning but misguided members of the Legislature. If our “journals whould be stained with a charter for this South Carolina Road,” he must certainly blame himself for it, as his advice did not reach us in time. I would suggest that an examination of Colton’s Map of N. C., would doubtless show the gentleman the relative positions of Charlotte and Spart.

[From Raleigh Register, February 7, 1855[26]
February 7, 1861
The Choctaw Indian Nation declares its allegiance to the Southern states.[27].
February 7-8, 1862: William Crawford Dawson was a Civil War hero and the first photographer in Elizabeth City. He was born in 1831 to Francis L. Dawson and Keziah Crawford, and was married to Nannie F. White. They had three children, William Crawford Dawson Jr., Joshua White Dawson, and Fannie Dawson. He died in 1872, and was buried in Hollywood Cemetery. Here is a brief description of his Civil War feat: During the Battle of Roanoke Island, a Confederate flag bearer was shot. According to Civil War "rules", if an army's flag touches the ground, it has lost the battle. So, in a swift act of galliantry, a soldier named William Crawford Dawson rushed to the scene and "rescued the colors", or, in other words, kept the flag from touching the ground. The flag is currently housed in a museum in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. [28]
The opening phase of what came to be called the Burnside Expedition, the Battle of Roanoke Island was an amphibious operation of the American Civil War, fought on February 7–8, 1862, in the North Carolina Sounds a short distance south of the Virginia border. The attacking force consisted of a flotilla of gunboats of the Union Navy drawn from the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, commanded by Flag Officer Louis M. Goldsborough, a separate group of gunboats under Union Army control, and an army division led by Brig. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside. The defenders were a group of gunboats from the Confederate States Navy, termed the Mosquito Fleet, under Capt. William F. Lynch, and about 2,000 Confederate soldiers commanded locally by Brig. Gen. Henry A. Wise. The defense was augmented by four forts facing on the water approaches to the island, and two outlying batteries. At the time of the battle, Wise was hospitalized, so leadership fell to his second in command, Col. Henry M. Shaw.
During the first day of the battle, the Federal gunboats and the forts on shore engaged in a gun battle, with occasional contributions from the Mosquito Fleet. Late in the day, Burnside's soldiers went ashore unopposed; they were accompanied by six howitzers manned by sailors. As it was too late to fight, the invaders went into camp for the night..[29]

February 7, 1968: The first reunion of Quantrill’s Raiders was held at Blue Springs, Missouri on May 11, 1888. Simeon was one of fourteen men attending the reunion. Reunions were held regularly from then until the 1920’s and Simeon was a faithful attendant. Pictures were usually taken of the old guerrillas at the reunions so it is likely there are several unidentified photos of Simeon besides the one we know about (above).
According to obituaries for the Younger brothers, Simeon was a pallbearer at the funeral of Bob Younger in Lee’s Summit on September 20, 1890 and Jim Younger’s funeral in Lee’s Summit in 1902. Bob had died in a Minnesota prison of tuberculosis. and Jim had committed suicide in Minnesota after he was paroled from prison. It is apparent that Simeon was close to the Younger family. One source states that Simeon was a pallbearer for Jesse James' re-interment in 1902. I'm hoping to find hard evidence of this fact.
In about 1905 Sim and his family left Missouri for the panhandle of Texas, "because Missouri was becoming too crowded." When the 1910 U.S. Census was taken, Sim owned a home on the farm of his son, John Lee Whitsett in Hereford, Deaf Smith County, Texas. About 1925 Sim moved further west to Rosebud, New Mexico which today is Amistad. James Simeon Whitsett died in Lee’s Summit, Missouri on May 22, 1928 at the age of eighty-three, probably at the home of his daughter Helen. He is buried in Kansas City, Missouri in the Forest Hill Cemetery on Troost Street, Block 21, Lot 101, space B which was purchased by his daughter Helen Sweeny (or Swaney). Sim's second wife Lena, who suffered from palsy, apparently stayed in Texas when Sim moved to New Mexico. She deeded her son John land about seventeen miles north of Hereford and then lived out her life with him. She died on August 26, 1926 and is buried at West Park Cemetery in Hereford, Texas.
Sim's daughter Minnie May was born on February 27, 1882 on the family farm in Jackson County, Missouri north of Lee's Summit. She trained at Warrensburg Normal School and taught school in southern Jackson County until Sim moved the family to Texas. Her future husband Ernest B. Pearce remained in Missouri and their courtship continued by mail until they were married in Hereford, Texas. The couple returned to Missouri and built a home in Pleasant Hill. They lived there until failing health forced them to give up housekeeping in 1964. Minnie died on February 7, 1968. Ernest died on June 14, 1965. They are buried in the family plot in Pleasant Hill Cemetery. [35]
February 7, 1979: Joseph Mengele, known as the “Angel of Death,” primarklyu for the brutal experiments he performed on live prisoners, escaped to South America where he died in 1979.[36] Dr. Josef Mengele, the infamous Nazi doctor who performed medical experiments at the Auschwitz death camps, dies of a stroke while swimming in Brazil—although his death was not verified until 1985.
Mengele was born on March 16, 1911, in Gunzburg, Germany. His father founded Frima Karl Mengele & Sohne, a factory that produced farm machinery, in Bavaria. In college, Mengele first studied philosophy, imbibing the rascist theories of Alfred Rosenberg—who posited the innate intellectual and moral superiority of Aryans—and then took a medical degree at the University of Frankfurt am Main. Soon thereafter he enlisted in the SA, the paramilitary force of the Nazi Party. Mengele was so enthusiastic about Nazism that in 1934 he joined the research staff of the Nazi Institute for Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene.
When war erupted, Mengele was a medical officer with the SS, the elite squad of Hitler's bodyguards who later emerged as a secret police force that waged campaigns of terror in the name of Nazism. In 1943, Mengele was called to a position that would earn him his well-deserved infamy. SS head Heinrich Himmler appointed Mengele the chief doctor of the Auschwitz death camps in Poland.
Mengele, in distinctive white gloves, supervised the selection of Auschwitz' incoming prisoners for either torturous labor or immediate extermination, shouting either "Right!" or "Left!" to direct them to their fate. Eager to advance his medical career by publishing "groundbreaking" work, he then began experimenting on live Jewish prisoners. In the guise of medical "treatment," Mengele injected, or ordered others to inject, thousands of inmates with everything from petrol to chloroform to study the chemicals' effects. Among other atrocities, he plucked out the eyes of Gypsy corpses to study eye pigmentation, and conducted numerous gruesome studies of twins.
Mengele managed to escape imprisonment after the war, first by working as a farm stableman in Bavaria, then by moving to South America. He became a citizen of Paraguay in 1959. He later moved to Brazil, where he met up with another former Nazi party member, Wolfgang Gerhard. In 1985, a multinational team of forensic experts traveled to Brazil in search of Mengele. They determined that a man named Gerhard had died of a stroke while swimming in 1979. Dental records later revealed that Mengele had, at some point, assumed Gerhard's identity and was the stroke victim.
A fictional account of Josef Mengele's life after the war was depicted in the film Boys from Brazil, with Mengele portrayed by Gregory Peck.[37]
March 8, 1979: Jimmy Carters trip to Egypt and Israel.[38]
March 26, 1979: Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty signing.[39] In a ceremony at the White House, Egyptian President Anwar el-Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin sign a historic peace agreement, ending three decades of hostilities between Egypt and Israel and establishing diplomatic and commercial ties.
Less than two years earlier, in an unprecedented move for an Arab leader, Sadat traveled to Jerusalem, Israel, to seek a permanent peace settlement with Egypt's Jewish neighbor after decades of conflict. Sadat's visit, in which he met with Begin and spoke before Israel's parliament, was met with outrage in most of the Arab world. Despite criticism from Egypt's regional allies, Sadat continued to pursue peace with Begin, and in September 1978 the two leaders met again in the United States, where they negotiated an agreement with U.S. President Jimmy Carter at Camp David, Maryland. The Camp David Accords, the first peace agreement between the state of Israel and one of its Arab neighbors, laid the groundwork for diplomatic and commercial relations. Seven months later, a formal peace treaty was signed.
For their achievement, Sadat and Begin were jointly awarded the 1978 Nobel Prize for Peace. Sadat's peace efforts were not so highly acclaimed in the Arab world--Egypt was suspended from the Arab League, and on October 6, 1981, Muslim extremists assassinated Sadat in Cairo. Nevertheless, the peace process continued without Sadat, and in 1982 Egypt formally established diplomatic relations with Israel.[40]
