February 9, 474: Zeno was crowned as co-emperor of the Byzantine Empire. “The feeling of Emperor Zeno towards the Jews is illustrated by a remark made at the races of Antioch. After a mob murdered many Jews, threw their corpses into the fire, and burned their synagogue Zeno commented, ‘They should have burned the living ones also.’”[1]



February 9, 1119: Calixtus II was named Pope. During his twenty five years on the papal throne, Calixtus II “provided a considerable amount of protection for Roman Jews.”[2]

1120: “Hugh de Payens infused the Templars with the energy of chastity and obedience. No women might enter the Temple; they were not permitted to embrace any woman, not even their sisters or their mothers. A lamp burned in their dormitories all night; their breeches were tightly laced, they were never permitted to see each other naked. They were permitted no privacy, and letters addressed to individual Templars had to be read aloud in the presence of the Grand Master or a chaplain. They never shaved their beards. Their Spartan lives were directed toward the single end of protecting the pilgrims and the Kingdom of Jerusalem by killing the enemy" (Payne 126). The Muslims both feared and respected the Templars, and at times, they went to Muslim court as diplomats. In 1120, Fulk V, Comte (Count) de Anjou (father of Geoffrey Plantagenet) was said to have joined the Knights Templar Order. [3]

February 9, 1267: The Synod of Breslau ordered the Jews of Silesia to wear special caps.[6]

February 9, 1621: Gregory XV was elected Pope. Gregory’s support of the censorship of Jewish books can be seen in the fact that during his brief papacy (1621-1623) at “least three expurgators of Hebrew books were appointed by the Roman Inquisition: Vincentius Matelica, 1622, "auctoritate apostolica"; Isaia di Roma, 1623, "per ordine di Roma"; and Petrus de Trevio, 1623, "deputatus" (officially appointed to revise books).”[7]

February 9, 1711: (Augustine Smith is my 8th great grand uncle) According to the Article entitled "Thomas Smith of Fairfax County, Virginia," by Henry G. Taliaferro, in Volume 40, Number 1 (January-March, 1996) of The Virginia Genealogist: This Augustine Smith is sometimes confused with his distant kinsman, Augustine Smith of "Purton," Gloucester Co, who married Sarah Carver, February 9, 1711. The Augustine of "Purton" was the son of John and Mary (Warner) Smith, grandson of Augustine, Jr and Mildred (Reade) Warner, and great-grandson of Augustine, Sr. and Mary (Townley) Warner.

Augustine Smith was the son of Lawrence Smith per page 54 of "Colonial Caroline: A History of Caroline County, Virginia, " (1954) by T. E Campbell. Augustine commanded the first garrison at Fredericksburg, and had been public surveyor for St Mary's Parish, whose people did not like him. However, the Williamsburg authorities made him surveyor of both Spotsylvania and Essex Counties when the upper end of St Mary's Parish was split. The feud grew greater through the years as planters tried many tactics to get rid of him. A new county (Caroline) seemed a plausible way. [8]

February 9, 1773, William Henry Harrison (My 6th cousin, 7 x removed) is born at Berkely Manor, near Richmond, Virginia. [9] Harrison went on to serve as the ninth U.S. president for a brief 32 days in 1841, the shortest term ever served. Harrison is also credited with the record for the longest inaugural address in history. Delivered on a bitterly cold March morning, it clocked in at one hour and 45 minutes. He was also the last president to be born an English subject.

A native of Virginia, Harrison grew up in a wealthy, politically active household--his father served as governor of Virginia for three terms. He attended college with the intent of studying medicine, but opted to join the army before finishing his degree. As a soldier, Harrison earned a reputation for bravery for his participation in the Indian Wars of the Northwest Territories and the Battle of the Thames River in Ontario during the War of 1812. John Adams appointed Harrison secretary of the Northwest Territories (present-day Indiana and Illinois) in 1798 and shortly thereafter he accepted Adam's offer to serve as the region's governor.

In 1811, Harrison earned the nickname Old Tippecanoe after leading a brutal, but successful, attack against Tecumseh's Shawnee tribe at Tippecanoe Creek in what is now Indiana. As governor, Harrison drew up several restrictive and one-sided treaties with Native American tribes who held desirable land. In one of his stingiest treaties, he agreed to pay a tribe a mere one cent for every 200 acres, a deal which gave the United States 51 million acres for a pittance and opened a wide swath of the West to white settlement.

Harrison married Anna Tuthill Symmes in 1795. The couple had eight children of their own; Harrison also adopted Anna's son John from a previous marriage. Six of his children died prior to Harrison's campaign for the presidency. Daughters Mary and Elizabeth survived their father, but only by several years. His last remaining child, Anna, died in 1865.

Boosted by a successful military and political career, which included stints in the U.S. Congress, Ohio Senate and as U.S. ambassador to Colombia, Harrison ran for president in 1840, choosing John Tyler to run with him on the Whig Party ticket. Much to the horror of the political establishment, the two men campaigned vigorously, setting the tone for future campaigns. They employed catchy campaign slogans such as Tippecanoe and Tyler, too, and held boisterous rallies during which they handed out free bottles of hard cider[10] housed in little log cabin-shaped bottles.

Harrison caught a cold on the day of his inauguration that lingered, eventually turning into a fatal case of pneumonia. Some historical records indicate that doctor-prescribed remedies for the pneumonia also gave Harrison a deadly case of hepatitis. He died on April 4, 1841, leaving behind his widow Anna and three surviving children. His grandson, Benjamin, followed in Harrison's political footsteps, serving a full term as president from 1889 to 1893.[11]

February 9th, 1774: .( George Washington) At home all day. In the Afternoon Mr. Matthew Campbell & Captn. Crawford came. (William Crawford, my 6th great grandfather)

February 9, 1775

The British Parliament declares the Colony of Massachusetts to be in a state of rebellion.[13]

February 9, 1749: Benedict XIV issued a papal bull, “Singulari Nobis consoldtioni” that prohibited marriages between Jews and Christians.[14]

February 9, 1807: Napoleon convened the French Sanhedrin. The first meeting in Paris of the Napoleonic Sanhedrin was under the leadership of The Assembly of Jewish Notables. It opened amid great pomp and celebration under the direction of Abraham Furtado. The Sanhedrin was modeled on the ancient Tribunal in Jerusalem and consisted of 71 members - 46 Rabbis and 25 laymen. Rabbi David Sinzheim of Strasburg was its President. They were presented with 12 questions regarding the positions of Jewry regarding polygamy, divorce, usury, other faiths, and most important whether they considered France to be their Fatherland. Needless to say, they received "guidance" from the emperor as to the general formulation of the answers.[15] Ancestor Joseph Lefevre, who would soon come to Dubuque, Iowa was said to have been in Napoleon’s body guard unit.[16]

February 9, 1808: In Westphalia, a large delegation of Jews visited King Jerome, the brother of Napoleon to express their thanks for his granting them full emancipation. During the audience he told them: Tell your brothers to enjoy the rights that were granted to them. They can depend upon my protection on a par with the rest of my children."[17]

February 9, 1825: As no presidential candidate received a majority of electoral votes in the election of 1824, the U.S. House of Representatives votes to elect John Quincy Adams, who won fewer votes than Andrew Jackson in the popular election, as president of the United States. Adams was the son of John Adams, the second president of the United States.

In the 1824 ele44ction, 131 electoral votes, just over half of the 261 total, were necessary to elect a candidate president. Although it had no bearing on the outcome of the election, popular votes were counted for the first time in this election. On December 1, 1824, the results were announced. Andrew Jackson of Tennessee won 99 electoral and 153,544 popular votes; John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts received 84 electoral and 108,740 popular votes; Secretary of State William H. Crawford, who had suffered a stroke before the election, received 41 electoral votes; and Representative Henry Clay of Kentucky won 37 electoral votes.

As dictated by the U.S. Constitution, the presidential election was then turned over to the House of Representatives. The 12th Amendment states that if no electoral majority is won, only the three candidates who receive the most popular votes will be considered in the House.

Representative Henry Clay, who was disqualified from the House vote as a fourth-place candidate, agreed to use his influence to have John Quincy Adams elected. Clay and Adams were both members of a loose coalition in Congress that by 1828 became known as the National Republicans, while Jackson's supporters were later organized into the Democratic Party.

Thanks to Clay's backing, on February 9, 1825, the House elected Adams as president of the United States. When Adams then appointed Clay to the top Cabinet post of secretary of state, Jackson and his supporters derided the appointment as the fulfillment of a corrupt bargain.

With little popular support, Adams' time in the White House was for the most part ineffectual, and the so-called Corrupt Bargain continued to haunt his administration. In 1828, he was defeated in his reelection bid by Andrew Jackson, who received more than twice as many electoral votes than Adams.[18]

February 9, 1941:(Riley Crawford, my 4th cousin, rode with Quantrill and Jessie James) 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.

Daughter Mary Louise was born at Hickman's Mill, Missouri on September 21, 1884. She married Henry Lee Goats and the couple lived on their ranch in Hayden, New Mexico. She was also a teacher and a hand crafter of embroidery. She died on December 11, 1948 in Tucumcari, New Mexico. Henry who was born on November 29, 1863 near Brownwood, Texas died at his ranch home in Hayden on February 9, 1941. The couple is buried at Clayton, Union County, New Mexico. [28]

February 9, 1941: Dutch Nazis sparked the first anti-Jewish riots in Amsterdam. Although there was considerable damage and destruction, the Jews along with many of the Dutch countrymen fought back. After the arrests on the 20th, tens of thousands of Dutch men and women went on strike in protest. The stunned Nazi occupiers struck back brutally and crushed the strike. However, this would not be the last time that the embattled people of Holland worked to protect their Jewish fellow countrymen.[29]

February 9, 1943: Charlotte Kay MARUGG was born on 9 February 1943 in Monticello, Jones County, Iowa, USA. Parents: Fritz L. MARUGG and Ethel Estelle WINCH.[30]

February 9, 1943: "If Enterprise is ready to fight, so am I."
U.S. Navy Admiral, 1943

After the battering carrier battles of 1942, 1943 marked a period of recovery and regrouping for both Japan and the United States. This is not to say that the fighting ceased entirely. It did not. Fighting on Guadalcanal continued until February 9, when Army General Alexander Patch announced "Organized resistance on Guadalcanal has ceased." With this, General MacArthur moved forward with Operation Cartwheel.

Cartwheel was a two-pronged drive towards the Japanese stronghold of Rabaul, on the northern tip of New Britain. MacArthur and the Allied forces under his command would advance up the northern coast of New Guinea, cross the Dampier Strait to land on New Britain, and then push along the island's coast to Rabaul. Meanwhile, Halsey - operating under MacArthur's command - would conduct a series of landings in the Solomon Islands, from Guadalcanal to New Georgia, and on to Bougainville, just 250 miles from Rabaul. In the end, Rabaul was isolated and bypassed, but not without several bitter night engagements between Japanese and Allied surface forces.[31]

Convoy 46, February 9, 1943

On board Convoy 46 was Boruch Gotlieb, born 1885 from Siedlec, Poland.[33]

For nearly two months the transports had been interrupted. Eichmann and the SiPo-SD in France made a reckoning of the situation in December and of the picture for deportations for the beginning of 1943 (XXVc-184 of December 9, 1942; and XXVI-69 of December 19). On December 31, Knochen cabled Eichmann (XXVI-69) to the effect that the deportations wopuld be resumed again in mid-February, without knowing the exact number of Jews to bwe affected by this measure. But on January 21, 1943, Knochen cabled Eichmann once more (XXVc-195). He asked him what the possibilities were for the transport of 1,200 Jews eligible for deportation. He indicated that 3,911 Jews were interned in Drancy, among them 2,159 Frenchmen. Finallly he asked; are French Jews eligible for deportation?


On January 25, 1943 Gunther, Eichmann’s assistant, replied (XXVI-70) that the Reich’s Transportation Ministry had given the green light for the transport in freight cars of 1,500 to 2,000 Jews from Drancy to Auschwitz. There was no objection, cabled Gunther, to the deportation of French Jews if it were undertaken in accordance with the guidelines for the evacuation of the Jews from France. Moreover, he indicated that the escort from Drancy to the Reich’s border would be a commando from the SD of Metz and that after the border, the Ordnungspolizei would escort the convly to Auschwitz. On January 26 (XXVc-198), Knochen telexed to all the regional Gestapo offices: arrest all deportable Jews and transfer them to Drancy. Thus, for example, on January 28, 170 persons arrived from Bordeau (XXVc-198); on January 29, Merdsche, the Commander of Orleans, sent 67 Jews to Drancy, among them 25 women and 4 children; from Poitiers 22 internees arrived; from Dijon, on February 1, 70 Jews (XXVc-199); and from Angers, 9 (XXVc-202).


On February 3, Rothke telexed to the RSHA in Berlin, to Eichmann’s office, to the effect that on February 9 and 11, two trains would leave for Auschwitz, and at 8:55 AM, with approximately 1,000 Jews (XXVc-201).

On February 5, Rothke telexzed to the Ordnungspolizei that three convoys were scheduled and that escort commandos of 12 to 15 men had to b e provided. On the same day, Rothke asked the Gestapo in Dijon to transfer the Jews under their command for deportation on February 9 and 11.


On February 9, the first convoy of the month left for Auschwitz. Rothke sent a telexs (XXVc-203) to Eichmann, the Inspector for Concentration Camps at Oranienburg and Auschwitz, informing them that the transport left the station at Le Bourget/Drancy at 11:09 AM with 1,000 Jews under the direction of Lieutenant Nowak. On February 10, Rothke addressed a short letter to his superiors in Paris, informing them that the “first train left Drancy with 1,000 stateless Jes who were in the deportable category.”

This convoy was composed of 447 males and 545 females, and 8 undetermined. A count by nationality shows: 475 males and 545 females, and und 8 undetermined. A count by nationality shows: 475 Poles; 170 Russians; 85 French; 45 Romanians; some 40 Germans; 40 Greeks; 30 Dutch; and about 15 Turks and 15 Austrians. Two hundred seven of the deportees were over 60, and there were 130 children under 18.

This list is very poor condition. There is no indication as to what camps the deportees came from. There are two sublists of “reserves” to complete the quota.

There were several escapes, one of which was successful (XXVc-213); see also La let des Juifs in France, by A. Rutkowski; CDJC-1975; pp. 147-49.


When they arrived in Auschwitz on February 11, 77 men were selected for work and given numbers 101043 through 101119. Ninety two women were selected and given numbers 34969 through 35059. The others were immediately gassed.


There were 22 survivors in 1945, including seven women. [34]

February 9, 2008: Woodstock
Execution and “the Burning”

By Craig Swain, December 1, 2007

Woodstock Marker

Inscription. 1864 Valley Campaign
In the midst of the 1864 Valley Campaign, Woodstock bore witness to the horrors of war. Plagued by raiding parties of Confederate partisan rangers, guerrillas and bushwhackers, Union General Philip H. Sheridan issued orders by mid-August to execute anyone captured wearing civilian clothes and carrying a weapon.

While pursuing Jubal Early's retreating Confederate army from the Battle of Fisher's Hill, elements of Brigadier Gen. George A. Custer's Michigan Cavalry Brigade entered Woodstock on September 23, and captured 39 year-old Davy Getz, armed with a squirrel rifle, in the woods near town.

A rope was tied around Getz's neck, and he was made to walk behind Custer's headquarters wagon as it moved south along the Valley Turnpike (U.S. Route 11). Several men of the town, including merchant Adolph Heller, followed and pleaded with Custer that Getz had the mind of a child and did not know what he was doing. The pleas to the young brigadier fell on deaf ears. Finally, Heller admonished Custer saying, "You will have to sleep in a bloody grave for this." Getz was executed near Dayton in Rockingham County on October 2, 1864.

Five days later, Federal troops reentered the town and began laying waste as part of the infamous "Burnings." A portion of Col. Thomas Devin's Brigade of the 1st U.S. Cavalry

2. The "Burning" Operations Map

Division, the 19th New York Cavalry, destroyed the railroad depot, warehouses, a locomotive and three boxcars on the siding. Steady winds came up and soon ignited fires in barns and haystacks on the outskirts of town. Not intending to fire those particular properties, two Union regiments dismounted and assisted in extinguishing the flames.

That evening Sheridan wrote Gen. Ulysses Grant from Woodstock reporting that the destruction of the Valley had reached from mountain to mountain in Augusta County to the south, and would continue the next day to Strasburg in the north.

February 9, 2012: 9Neighbors’ tip leads to arrests at drug house

GARY — A tip from neighbors about drug activity at a Brunswick home led to the arrest of two women early Thursday.

Police seized 3.1 grams of heroin and about $2,000 from the house.

Ebony Whatley, 29, was living at the home at 5230 W. 4th Place with her seven children ages 1 to 10 years old and Lafa Goodlove, 20, who is pregnant, Lake County Sheriff John Buncich said.

“It’s just a sad situation,” Buncich said later.

Anonymous tips to the sheriff’s crime tip hot line led the drug unit to make a series of undercover buys from the house.

About 6 a.m., the Lake County police tactical team raided the address.

“The conditions weren’t deplorable, but bad enough. With all those kids. Beds everywhere,” he said.

The children, including one who belonged to a relative, were taken into custody by the Department of Children and Family Services.

Buncich said his department welcomes anonymous calls about illegal activity. The Crime Tip Hotline number is (800) 750-2746.

[10] Cider. Juice derived from squeezing a fruit—usually apple. Cider may be consumed before fermentation—“sweet cider.” A typical colonial farm would have simple devices made specifically for coring, peeling, and crushing apples. Cider is made from ripe apples late in the season. The apples are crushed—not ground. Strain the juice through a woolen cloth into a clean barrel and if it’s cool, let it rest for three or four days before bottling. If the juice is allowed to warm before bottling, it may begin fermenting and turn to cider vinegar (which may also be desirable).

After cider has passed through the fermentation cycle it is no longer “sweet cider” it becomes“hard cider” and is an alcoholic drink. The settler sitting on his porch in the evening sipping on hard cider may justify his activity by saying that he is” only taking his medicine.”

Apple cider was sometimes boiled down by half and mixed with freshly crushed apple pulp into a pasty substance commonly referred to as apple-butter, or mixed with a sweetener into apple-sauce. Apple-sauce was a common side dish in a settler’s meal.

[21] Tradition holds that eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day brings good luck the whole year around. Some say the bean’s lucky streak dates back to the pharaohs of Egypt. Others claim it started in Vicksburg, Virginia, during the Civil War when the town ran out of food while under siege, and the inhabiotants were lucky enough to discover cow peas (better known today as black-eyed peas) to provide sustenance.
