873: While attacking the Irish at Dublin in 873, Ivar died. His army returned to England and continued to pillage. [2]
875 to 1130 A.D.
878: In the year 878, with a young military commander by the name of Alfred (849-899), King of Wessex, later called “The Great.” He is credited with preserving the language by his military exploits against the invading Danes. With a fresh number of recruits, Alfred surprised and overwhelmed the Danes at the battle of Ethandune, causing their withdrawal to the north.[7]
Although it is on certain record that the chief of MacKinnon was seised of property in Skye as well as in the Isle of Mull as early as A. D. 880, we have no authentic account of the history of the clan till we reach A. D. 1314, when the clan MacKinnon fought under the great Bruce at the battle of Bannockburn.[8]
884 C.E.: The Jewish community of al-Qayrawan (in today’s north-central Tunisia) was the first epicenter of major rumors about the ten tribes. In 883 CE, a mysterious man showed up one day and identified himself as a member of the tribe of Dan, one of the most enigmatic among the ten tribes, with a history of migration from its original place of dwelling recorded already in the Bible.[9]
885-933: IBN AMAJURAbul-Qasim Abdallah Ibn Amajur (or Majur?) al-Turki. He originated from Fargana, Turkestan, and flourished c. 885-933. Muslim astronomer. One of the greatest observers among the Muslims. He made many observations between 885 and 933, together with his son Abu-Hasan Ali and emancipated slave of the latter, named Muflih. Father and son are often called Banu Amajur. Some of their observations are recorded by Ibn Yunus. Together they produced many astronomical tables: the Pure (alkhalis), the Girdled (al-Muzannar), the Wonderful (al-badi), tables of Mars according to Persian chronology, etc.H. Suter: Mathematiker (49, 211, 1900; 165, 1902).[10]
898-929: French king Charles the Simple confiscates Jewish owned property in Narbonne and donates it to the Church.[11]
899: Alfred the Great, king of England dies.[12]
900: We may here remark that there are six other Clans who trace from King Ailpein, and who came into existence, migrated and dispersed about the same period viz., A.D. 900, and their claim to the distinction of being the noblest and most ancient of the Highland Clans has been acquiesced in by the other Clans. Their proud old “S’rioghail mo dhream” (my race is royal) was acknowledged by all, and survived the successive ages of independent Scottish history from the beginning to the end. It is indeed a pity that the distinctive family mottos which now hold place shoul ever have been adopted to the abandonment of that to which they all had a right, and which might have bound them together even to the present day. These Clans are, besides the Mackinnons, Clan Gregor, MacNab, McAulay, MacPhie, Grant and MacQuarrie.
900 C.E.: “Ashkenaz” is mentioned in Genesis and Chronicles as the son of Gomer, who is the son of Yafet, the son of Nowh. In Talmudic tradition, Gomer is known as Germania, and Germania of Edom is Germany. Thus, the area of Europe where jews first settled became known as Ashkenaz, and its inhabitants, Ashkenazim.
As early as 900 C.E., small Jewish settlements formed into a community with unique cultural patterns and communal organization, as well as an independent rabbinical leadership. Jewish communities spread first westward and later eastward, embraced Jewish Ashkenazic customes and culture and remained largely isolated from the dominant Germanic and Slavic medieval Christian society.[14]
900 AD: It so happens that there is a notorious gene called BRCA2 on chromosome 13 and it…helps to tell a story of genealogy. BRCE2 was the second ‘breast cancer gene’ to be discovered, in 1994. People with a certain, fairly rare version of BRCA2 were found to be much more likely to develop breast cancer than is usually the case. The gene was first located by studying Icelandic families with a high incidence of breast cancer. Iceland is ther perfect genetic laboratory nbecause it was settled by such a small group of Norwegians around AD 900, and has seen so little immigration since. Virtually all of the 270,000 Icelanders trace their descent in all lines from those few thousand Vikings who reached Iceland before the little ice age. Eleven hundred years of chilly solituted and a devastating fourteen-century plague have rendered the island so infred that it is a hap0py genetic hunting ground.
Two Icelandic families with a history of frequent breast cancer can be traced back to a common ancestor born in 1711. They both have the same mutationh, a deletion of five ‘letter’s after the 999th ‘letter’ of the gene. A different mnutation in the same gene, the leletion of the 6,174th ‘letter’, is common in people of ?Ashkenazi Jewish descent. Approximately eight per cent of Jewish breast-cancer cases under the age of forty-two are attributable to theis one mutation, and twenty perc cent to a mutation in BRCA1, a gene one chromosome 17. Again, the concentration points to past inbreeding, though not on the Icelandic scale. Jewish people retained their genetic integrity by adding few converst to the faith and losing many people who married outsiders. As a result, the Ashkenazim in particular are a favourite people for genetic studies. In the United States the Committee for the Prevention of Jewish Genetic Disease organizes the testing of schoolchildre’s blood. When matchmakers are later considering a marriage between two young people, they can call a hotline and quote the two anonymous numbers they were each assigned at the testing. If they are both carriers of the same mutation, for Tay-Sachs disease or cystic fibrosis, the committee advises against the marriage. The pratical results of this voluntary policy, which was criticized in 1993 by the New York Times as eugenic, are already impressive. Cystic fibrosis has been virtually eliminated from the Jewish population in the United States.
So genetic geography is of more than academic interest. Tay-Sachs disease is the result of a genetic mutation comparatively common in Ashkenazi Jews, for reasons that will be familiar from chromosome 9. Tay-Sachs carriers are somewhat protected against tuberculosis, which reflects the genetic geohgraphy of Ashkenazi Jews. Crammed into urban ghettos for much of the past few centuries, the Ashkenazim were especially exposed to the ‘white death’ and it is little wonder that they acquired some genes that offer protection, even at the expense of lethal complication for a few.
Although no such easy explanation yet exists for the mutation on chromosome 13 that predisposes Ashkenazios to develop b reast cancer, it is quite possible that meny racial and ethnic genetic peculiarities do indeed have a reason for their existence. In other words, the genetic geographuy of the world has a functional as well as a mapping contribution to make to the piecing together of history and pre-history.[15]
600 B.C.- 900 B.C.:
Tikal: located in what is today Guatemala, the ancient city of Tikal flourished from about 600 B.C. to A.D. 900, at which time it collapsed mysteriously along with much of the Mayan world. Several theories have been put forth, including drought, to explain the Maya demise. While it flourished, Tikal saw more than two-dozen pyramids erected, driven in part by the famous Mayan calendar. For instance, beginning as early as A.D. 672, twin pyramids were built, coinciding with the end of every every K’atun (20-year period). [16]
Eccentric Flints, Maya (AD 250-900). Caizo District, Belize.
Because of their unusual shapes these flints are called “eccentrics.” Although they appear to be stone tools, archaeologists have found collections of them in Maya tombs, suggesting they were offerings. [17]
AD 250-900
In Maya religious beliefs, the gods needed to be fed with blood just as children needed to be fed with milk. Royal woman and men practiced a ritual in which they offered their own blood to various deities. Many stone carvings show this blood letting ritual.[18]
+and+a+sea+shell+fragment.jpg)
Glasses, a metate (mealing stone) and a sea shell fragment are seen at a burial chamber at the archeological site of Atzompa, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca in this undated handout photo released by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) on July 18, 2012. A funerary complex, consisting of three burial chambers, was discovered at the pre-Hispanic site of Atzompa in Oaxaca. The discovery of the complex, which is more than 1,100 years old, is important because it was located inside a building designed exclusively to house a series of tombs, which are placed vertically, one above another, and unlike the ones found so far, they are not underground, according to INAH.[19]
1100 years ago corn reaches the Mississippi River Valley. Corn is the domestication of the wild taocinti grass. Early Americans started with the small spindly stalk and over the centuries they developed it into todays wild cob. Archeologists and Biologists are still debating on how corn was achieved out of the tiny grass. Corn is one of the keys to understanding American civilization. Whereever it flourishes, so do great cultures.[20]
AD 900-1100
Hundreds of individuals, laboring for centuries, build Monks Mound.[21]
900-1120 A.D.
The MacKinnons were a powerful tribe in Mull from A.D. 900 the time of their migration thither until the rise of the Somerled dynasty in A.D. 1120. \
900 to 1200 A.D.
900 to 1200 years ago: Medieval warm period in the Northern
Hemisphere; megadroughts in North America.[23]

March 2, 986: Louis V becomes King of the Franks. Louis was the last of the Carolingian, a dynasty under whom the Jews had done rather well, all things considered. Charlemagne was the most famous of the Carolingian rulers and he supported his Jewish subjects despite opposition from church leaders. Louis le Débonnaire who reigned from 814 to 833 was another of the Carolingians who gave special protection to his Jewish subjects. During the reign of Carolingians the Jews were active in commerce, medicine and agriculture, especially in the field of viticulture a fact of which we are reminded when we study about Rashi. The change in dynasties would not have an immediate effect on the Jews living in France. Life for them would not really changed until the first crusade in 1096.[27]
August 17, 986: During the days of the First Bulgarian Empire, the army of Emperor Samuil of Bulgaria and his brother defeat the Byzantines led by Basil II. The Bulgarian Empire had provided a haven for Jews escaping from the Byzantine Army so the Bulgarian victory was good news for the Jews.[28]
March 2, 1349: In Erfurt, the capital of the German state of Thuringia, 1,000 Jews were killed in a single day of violence in a pogrom brought on by hysteria surrounding The Black Death which struck Europe in 1340. During this outbreak of what was probably bubonic plagues millions died in Europe removing approximately one third of the continent’s population. “Modern research has revealed that the plague was probably carried by boat from an Asian source, but at the time the affected communities had no idea why and how such a terrible affliction had come upon them so suddenly. In seeking an explanation, they needed a scapegoat and lighted upon the Jews living in their midst. In many villages, towns and cities, Jews were accused of causing the sickness by poisoning drinking water in wells and fountains.” [Editor’s note: for those tracking sweeping patterns of history, note that blaming Jews is not different or rational today than it was in what was supposedly the unenlightened Dark zAges.[29]
March 2, 1382: The Mailotin Riots began in Paris. These riots were similar to the tax riots held two years previously. Both times the Jews were considered accomplices in over-oppressive taxes. Sixteen Jews fell victim to this outbreak violence.[30]
March 2, 1759
All Hallow's Parish
The original records of All Hallows Parish on microfilm at the Maryland State Archives, were then searched to better understand the birth information concerning Eleanor McKinnon. Page 51 of these records shows in part;
----------------
Other researchers have established that Eleanor lived with Daniel McKinnon and the other children during the following period. [37]
Since Eleanor apparently did not live with her mother and might not of even known her, it might explain why the only parental reference for Eleanor Howard was the father.
Nothing in the above information concerning the McKinnon family would be inconsistent with the assumption that Eleanor McKinnon and Eleanor Howard were in fact the same person.[38][39]

March 2, 1769, At home all day with the above company.[40]
March 2, 1770
On March 2, in Boston, a British soldier, seeking a job, was told to “clean my shithouse.” Another riot broke out.[41]
|
March 2, 1776: In advance of the Continental Army's occupation of Dorchester Heights, Massachusetts, General George Washington orders American artillery forces to begin bombarding Boston from their positions at Lechmere Point, northwest of the city center, on this day in 1776.
After two straight days of bombardment, American Brigadier General John Thomas slipped 2,000 troops, cannons and artillery into position just south of Boston at Dorchester Heights. The 56 cannon involved in the move were those taken at Ticonderoga, New York, by Lieutenant Colonel Benedict Arnold and Ethan Allen with his Green Mountain Boys, which had then been transported to Boston by Colonel of Artillery Henry Knox the previous winter.
March 2, 1778
John married March 2nd, 1778, Eleanor Howard, of Maryland, daughter of General Eager Howard, who was prominent in both the Revolutionary War, and probably also in the war of 1812. The Howard family of Maryland were prominent in that day, and have remained well knwn in Maryland history from colonial days. A prominent street in Baltimore City bears their name. The Howard family of this country and of England trace their linage to Lord Edward Howard, in the reign of Henry VIII, and also claim a kinship with George III.
In the will of a John Dodson, one of the earlier Maryland settlers, made in 1736, among the children therein named was Margaret and Eleanor. Margaret married a Howard.
In 1778, when John of Shrewsbury married Eleanor Howard, it can easily be a probable surmise that a daughter of the said Margaret Dodson Howard mentioned in the will of 1736, and named for her sister Eleanor, was the Eleanor Howard who became the wife of this later John Dodson, of Shrewsbury, Enhgland.[42]
Referring again to Rev. Ege's material, he reports John and Eleanor's date of Marriage as March 2, 1778 and fails to mention the officially recorded marriage license date of February 13, 1778. No substantiation could be found to support the claimed marriage date of March 2, 1778. The only record of Eleanor Howard and John Dodson's marriage that could be verified was the issuance in Anne Arundel County of a "Marriage License" on February 13, 1778.[43]
March 2, 1807: Congress passes an act prohibiting the importation of slaves after January 1, 1808.[44]
March 2, 1821: Congress passed land relief act allowing adjustments in the terms of purchase of public lands; became law March 2.[45]
March 2, 1836 – The Republic of Texas declares its independence from Mexico as the Mexican army under President-General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna began waging a war of retribution. Sam Houston, President of the Provisional Government, and later Republic, of Texas signs a treaty with the Texas Cherokee guaranteeing them their lands, but the treaty was rejected by the Texas Senate the next year.[46]
March 2, 1839 –Moses Daniel. Detachments arrive With Cherokee refugees at Ft. Gibson, led by named men.

Cleared off pleasant diarea stoped
March 2, 1865: 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.[49]
March 2, 1916
The young people gave Martin Nielson a birthday party last week at the home of Sarah Whitcomb, with 22 young people present. Martin thanks them all, especially the True Blues. He says he never had a better time.[50]
March 2, 1919: Emir Faisal, son of the acknowledged leader of the Arabs, Sherif Hussein, met with Dr. Chaim Weizmann and other Zionist leaders during the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. They signed and agreement by which the Arabs stated that“mindful of the racial kinship and racial bonds existing between the Arabs and the Jewish people” that “the surest means of working out the consummation of their [Jewish] national aspiration is through the closest possible collaboration of the development of the Arab state and Palestine.” (In 1919, Palestine was considered that portion of the Middle East designated for the Jewish people).)
The agreement between Faisal and Weizmann looked to the fulfillment of the Balfour Declaration and also called for “all necessary measures…to encourage and stimulate immigration of Jews into Palestine on a large scale, and as quickly as possible to settle Jewish immigrants upon the land through closer settlement and extensive cultivation of the soil.”[51]
March 2, 1935: Bishop Franz Rudolf Bornewasser of Trier and Bishop Ludwig Sebastian of Speyer give the Nazi salute along with Reichskommissar for the Reunification of the Saarland to the German Reich Josef Burckel, Minister of the Interior Wilhelm Frick, and Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels at ceremony in Saarbrucken city hall marking reincorporation of the Saarland, March 2, 1935. [52]
March 2, 1939: Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli is elected Pope and takes the name Pius XII. As Secretary of State for the Vatican he had negotiated a concordat with Hitler. As Pope, he would remain silent about the Nazis and the Holocaust even when a Roman Catholic nun who converted to Judaism years ago was taken to the death camp because, under Hitler’s Race Laws, she was really a Jew.[53]
March 2, 1940: “The police imposed curfew regulations at Tel Aviv tonight after breaking up widespread demonstrations protesting against British restrictions on the sale of Arab lands to Jews.[54]
March 2, 1942: Five thousand Jews from Minsk are killed.[55] As Purim began, Jews from Minsk refused to cooperate in latest deportation. Germans and Ukrainians retaliated by searching houses, dragging children to sand pits and throwing them in alive, throwing candies in after them as they died. By the end of Purim 5,000 Jews were murdered in Minsk. Jews all over Europe were tortured, murdered or deported that day included those from Krosniewice, Baranowicze, Lvov and Zdunska Wola.[56]
March 2, 1943: Lucie Gottlieb, born Linick, March 18, 1911 in Gelnhausen, Tempelhof, Boelchetr. 109; 32. Resided Berlin. Deportation: from Berlin, March 2,1943, Auschwitz
Mississippi is second only to Iowa in the number of Ku Klux Klan groups per capita, according to a reportreleased today by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The rise in Klan membership in Mississippi coincides with what the center describes as an explosive growth over the past year in extremist organizations across the U.S. Anti-government groups saw a 244 percent increase.
Iowa, with a population of 3 million, has a dozen Klan groups. Mississippi, with a population of 2.9 million, has nine Klan groups, tied with Louisiana, which has 4.4 million.
Texas has the most with 26 groups, but it has a population more than eight times larger than Mississippi’s. Tennessee has 15 groups with a population of 6.2 million.
In addition to the Klan, the center identified Mississippi as having 10 white nationalist groups, six “patriot groups,” one racist skinhead group and one neo-Nazi group.
Back in the 1960s, Mississippi was a safe haven for the Klan, with some estimates putting membership at more than 10,000. The Klan became a powerful political force as well with their members voting as a bloc.
The Klan also became a violent force. The FBI blamed the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan for at least 10 killings in Mississippi, including the 1964 killings of three civil rights workers, commonly known as the Mississippi Burning case.
By the late 1980s, the Klan had all but died in Mississippi. States such as Indiana, Pennsylvania and even California typically boasted more Klan groups than the Magnolia State.
Over the past decade, however, the Klan and other white supremacist groups have made a resurgence in Mississippi.
Richard Barrett
After the University of Mississippi chancellor moved last fall to get rid of the chant during football games, “The South Will Rise Again,” white supremacist Richard Barrett, who heads the Nationalist Movement, appeared on the Ole Miss campus, showing his support for the chant.
On Nov. 21, a dozen members of the Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (many in their teens and early 20s) marched on campus. About 250 people gathered to protest the presence of the Klansmen.

[32]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. Eg'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. (http://washburnhill.freehomepage.com/custom3.html)

Eleanor Howard: Who was she (really)?
It seems I am not the only person perplexed that such a well known family as the Howard's have no record of an Eleanor Howard. She appears to come out of nowhere to marry John Dodson.
According to the book: Dodson Genealogy 1600 - 1907 by Rev. Thompson P. Ege, A.M., her father was General Eager Howard. The problem is, no record of this individual or Eleanor Howard exists. Looking at the Howards that did exist in the Maryland area, there are several possibilities. Both include the possibility that Rev. Edge was incorrect in the first name of the father of Eleanor Howard. |
Cornelius Howard
The first likely candidate for Eleanor's father is Cornelius Howard, born 1706 in Baltimore, Maryland. He married Ruth Eager 14 Jan 1738. The pair had 9 known children ranging from 1739 to 1769.
Howard researcher's appear to agree on the dates of births of these children. There were several gaps, amounting to years, between their several of their children in which Eleanor could have been born. Since this family was known to use the name of "Eager", it could easily be that this is Eleanor's family. |
Thomas Howard Sr
Nelson T. Smith has done extensive research on the possible parents of Eleanor Howard. In his paper "Eleanor Howard Wife of John Dodson", he summerizes his work. He makes an extremely strong case for Thomas Howard Sr. as being the father of Eleanor Howard.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE WORK CONTAINED HEREIN ARE NELSON'S SMITH WORK. PLEASE DO NOT COPY OR USE WITHOUT EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF MR. SMITH. Eleanor Howard wife of John Dodson By Nelson T. Smith The search for the parents of Eleanor Howard is important for at least three reasons. First, no serious researcher accepts a "brick wall," particularly when there appears to be data available to continue the research, and yet for over a hundred years a Dodson genealogical line abruptly ends at Eleanor Howard. Second, Eleanor is considered by some to be the "mother" of the Dodson genealogical line called "Maryland Branch" (1) on which considerable research has been undertaken. Finally, establishing Eleanor Howards ancestors could resolve the authenticity of an alleged claim to the "Howard Family Line of Maryland" Since the early 1900's and probably longer descendants, researchers, and genealogists, have diligently sought Eleanor's parents. Since Eleanor used the last name "Howard" and was married to John Dodson in Anne Arundel County Maryland(2,3), it is generally assumed that she was of the "Howard Family Line of Maryland". However, in spite of reasonably good publications containing these records for Anne Arundel County during the 18 century, no female child named Eleanor Howard born in 1759 was ever found. Two female children named Eleanor Howard, bom in the general time period, can be identified in the available records. The first is a daughter of Cornelius Howard and his wife Mary Hammond born in Anne Arundel County on February 6, 1706(4,5). Since this Eleanor would have been 139 years old at the time of the subject Eleanor Howard's death, she cannot seriously be considered as the sought Eleanor Howard. The second Eleanor, bom about 1778 in Anne Arundel County, was the daughter of Joseph Howard Jr. and his wife Martha Hall(6). She is mentioned in Joseph's will(7,8). Since Joseph was born March 13, 1749, he would have only been ten years old in 1759 and it is highly unlikely this is the sought Eleanor Howard. What makes the inability to identify Eleanor Howard's parents even more frustrating is the laws of Maryland since 1654 required the inhabitants to register births, marriages and burials(9). This requirement was modified by the "Act of Service of Almighty God and the Establishment of the Protestant Religion within the Province", passed by the General Assembly in Maryland in 1682. By this Act the Church of England was given the same 'Right, Liberties, and Franchises' within the Colony of Maryland as might be established by law. One of the provisions gave the Justices and Commissioners of the counties the power to call together the principal freeholders of the counties to set out the various parishes and to establish vestries to administer the affairs of the Parish(10). A responsibility of the Vestry Clerk was to keep a register of Births. Deaths, and Marriages for the inhabitants of the parish. Thus the "Established Church", among other things, became the official agency for registering vital statistics in Maryland. (This practice appears to have been also adopted by other churches such as the Quakers.) The original Anglican Parishes of Anne Arundel and later Howard Counties were St. Anne's, St. James, St. Margaret's and All Hallows Protestant Episcopal Churches. As inhabitants of the county moved to the west into what was later to become Howard County, Christ Church, Queen Caroline Parish was established in the year 1728. Rev. Thompson Ege, writing the "Dodson Genealogy 1600 -1907" in the early 1900's listed Eleanor's birth as 6/11/1759, death as 1, 5, 1845 and solved her pedigree by "surmising that a Margaret Dodson. who was the daughter of an early Maryland settler named John Dodson and married a Howard, named a daughter after her sister Eleanor(11). However, Rev. Ege did not provided any facts to support his surmise! In 1999, after unsuccessful research efforts in Anne Arundel County, research turned to the Hamilton County, (Cincinnati) Ohio area, where Eleanor is buried, to re-establish available information with the goal of working back to Maryland. Considerable information was obtained from the Genealogy Section of the Cincinnati Public Library and local Cemeteries, most of which confirmed what had been known. One notable exception was Eleanor's date of death that according to tombstone records ofFinneytown Cemetery was January 6. 1840(12), some five years different than Rev. Ege reported. Next, a copy of Rev. Thompson Ege's "Dodson Genealogy 1600 - 1907", which was out of print, was obtained. A careful review of his material on Eleanor Howard and John Dodson revealed similarities to the Cincinnati data. To see this more clearly, the following is page 343 from the book(13). 1 "Dodson Genealogy Maryland Branch C John and Eleanor Howard Dodson Line Introduction The head of this line in this country was John Dodson, born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England in 1752. When but nineteen years of age and while still serving an apprenticeship he suddenly decided to embark for America, and landed at Annapolis, MD in 1771. From the fact that a Dodson family was then prominent in the vicinity of Annapolis, having settled there in the latter part of 1600, said John, of Shrewsbury, England may have been attracted there from a probable kinship and knowledge of them. John married March 2nd, 1778, Eleanor Howard, of Maryland, daughter of General Eager Howard, who was prominent in both the Revolutionary War, and probably also in the war of 1812. The Howard family of Maryland were prominent in that day, and have remained well know in Maryland history from colonial days. A prominent street in Baltimore City bears their name. The Howard family of this country and of England trace their linage to Lord Edward Howard, in the reign of Henry VIII, and also claim a kinship with George III. In the will of a John Dodson, one of the earlier Maryland settlers, made in 1736, among the children therein named was Margaret and Eleanor. Margaret married a Howard. In 1778, when John of Shrewsbury married Eleanor Howard, it can easily be a probable surmise that a daughter of the said Margaret Dodson Howard mentioned in the will of 1736, and named for her sister Eleanor, was the Eleanor Howard who became the wife of this later John Dodson, of Shrewsbury, England. John Dodson took part in the Revolutionary struggles of the Colonies for independence, and was present with Washington's army at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. Some time after the marriage of John and Eleanor they resided in Baltimore, where some of their children were born. In the fall of 1795, John Dodson and family removed to a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, where a number of their descendants still reside, while others have scattered farther west and south." The second paragraph of the above quotation claims Eleanor Howard to be the daughter of General Eager Howard who was prominent in the Revolutionary War. A General Eager Howard cannot be located in the Revolutionary War or any other material of the period. However, there was a Colonel John Eager Howard who was prominent in the Revolutionary War, and a member of the Continental Congress. He was born in 1752, married Margaret Chew and later died in 1827. In 1787 when war with France became imminent, President Washington tendered him the offices of Major General and Secretary of State, both of which he declined. In 1789 he was elected the fifth Governor of the State of Maryland(14). While it might be argued that Rev. Ege just omitted the first name and gave credit for a rank tendered but never actually obtained, a closer examination of the available data shows that Colonel John Eager Howard was born June 4, 1752 in Baltimore County, MD(15). Colonel Howard was only seven years old at the reported birth of the subject Eleanor Howard and hardly capable of being a father. Therefore, at least some of this information appears in error. In the final paragraph of page 343, reference is made to John Dodson serving under Col. Thomas Bull and being present with Washington at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, VA. There appears to be several things wrong with this claim. First, John enlisted in the military February 5, 1778 and was discharged June 11, 1778(16). The surrender of Lord Cornwallis took place at Yorktown during October 17th - 20th, 1781(17), more than three years after John was discharged from military service. Second, the subject John Dodson was a member of the First Regiment Maryland Line, recruited to fill the quota for Anne Arundel County, Maryland(18). Col. Thomas Bull commanded the 1st Company, 2nd Bn, Chester County, Pennsylvania troops. (19) Thus, John Dodson was in the wrong military unit and at the wrong time to have been at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis. Units of Pennsylvania troops apparently did participate in the action at Yorktown(20). There was a John Dodson in the 1st Company, 2" battalion, Chester County, Pennsylvania troops commanded by Lt. Col. Thomas Bull also reported by Rev. Ege(21). This John Dodson was born in England April 10, 1720 and died in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania March 10, 1818. He married Mary Eleanor Evans in 1745(22). Since Rev. Ege was dealing with the entire Dodson family line between 1600 and 1907, it is easy to understand how data could be confused between two John Dodsons both serving in the Revolutionary War. 2 Rev. Ege also reported Eleanor's date of death as January 5, 1845 rather than the January 6, 1840 that is listed in the tombstone inscription records for Finneytown Cemetery(23). The confused data is not limited to Rev. Ege as the Daughters of the American Revolution Official Roster for soldiers who lived in Ohio shows "Dodson, John - Hamilton County by Mrs. W. Earle Johnson, Batavia, 0, Roster I, p 116, B 12-25-1752, Shrewsbury, England; d 5-16-1825; bur Finneytown Cem. On Winton Rd - Springfield Twp, Hamilton Co, 0, Md. Mil, under Col. Thomas Bull +++. Eleanor Howard b 1-11-1759, d 1-8-1841+++ "(24). Also, the following is found in a Daughters of the American Revolution Linage Book, "John Dodson m. 1778 Eleanor Howard (1759 - 1845)"(25). Thus, it appears that other respected genealogical sources as well as Rev. Ege confused the data. Referring again to Rev. Ege's material, he reports John and Eleanor's date of Marriage as March 2. 1778 and fails to mention the officially recorded marriage license date of February 13, 1778. No substantiation could be found to support the claimed marriage date of March 2, 1778. The only record of Eleanor Howard and John Dodson's marriage that could be verified was the issuance in Anne Arundel County of a "Marriage License" on February 13, 1778(26). Notwithstanding the above clarifications and correction, subsequent research on both Eleanor Howard and John Dodson failed to reveal any new information. Additionally, the search was also broadened to include Beal and McDowell since John and Eleanor had named their fourth child William Beal and Eleanor's grand-daughter, Fidelia Dodson named a son dark McDowell Smith, However, nothing was found to link Eleanor Howard to the Beal (Beale, Beall) or McDowell Families of Maryland. The law regarding marriage in Maryland in 1778 is set forth in "An Act Concerning Marriages, Lib GR. Fol 39, February 1777 which provides in part: III. And be it enacted, that the rites of marriage between any white persons, subject or inhabitants of this state, shall not be celebrated by any persons within this state unless by ministers of the Church of England, Minister differing from that church, or Romish Priests, appointed or ordained by the rites and ceremonies of their respective church. +++ If any perform contrary to the true intent (of this statute), he shall forfeit and pay for every offence 500 pounds current money. V. And be it remembered that no person within this state shall marry without such license as by this act directed, or before the names of the parties intending to be married shall thrice be published in some parish or chapel, meeting house or Romish parish chapel or other house of religious worship in the county where the woman shall have her usual residence IX. And be it enacted that if any minister shall join in marriage any male under the age of twenty-one years, or any female under the age of sixteen years, and not before married, without the consent of the parent of guardian +++ he shall forfeit and pay five hundred pounds current money. XII. And be it enacted that all licenses for marriage shall be issued by the clerk of the court of that county where the woman shall have her usual residence." Since a marriage license was issued to Eleanor and John in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, in accordance with the above, it was decided to search the birth records of Anne Arundel County for any female child with the given surname "Howard" born around 1759. The results were:(27) Margaret Howard Born April 4, 1746(28) Margery-Howard Born March 17, 1752/3(29) Neither of these fit the required birth date or the information available on Eleanor. Next, since Eleanor's tombstone inscription had been located in the Finneytown Cemetery (Hamilton County, Ohio) records showing "Died Jan 6 1840 Age 81st Year"(30) it was decided to search the Anne Arundel County, MD records for all female children named "Eleanor" born in 1759. Eleanor McKinnon, the daughter of Ruth McKinnon was the only such child in the records. The search was then repeated with an expanded time period of between 1753 and 1764 to allow for some leeway in the birth information. 1764 was chosen as the latest date Eleanor could have been born since she would have only been 13 years old when the marriage license was issued and, as previously shown, Maryland law severely penalized a clergy for performing any marriage when the female was under the age of 16 years. 3 This produced the following results: St. Anne's Parish Eleanor born November 29, 1757 to John Druce and Eleanor St. James' Parish Ellenor born September 15, 1753 to Benj Ward and Eliz St Margaret's Parish No female children named Eleanor. All Hallow's Parish Eleanor bom March 2, 1759 illegitimate dau of Ruth McKinnon Eleanor born June 24, 1761 to Francis Linthicum and Mary West River Monthly Meeting No female children named Eleanor. Quaker Meeting No female children named Eleanor.(31) The four Eleanors were then researched for additional information in an effort to eliminate as many as possible. This revealed the following: Further data concerning Eleanor Druce shows she married Benjamin Yieldhall on November 9,1782(32). Further data concerning Ellenor Ward shows she married first Richard Lewin, then Samuel Roberts and died in Anne Arundel Co., MD in 180233. Further data concerning Eleanor Linthicum shows she died young . Further data concerning Eleanor McKinnon could not be found. The original records of All Hallows Parish on microfilm at the Maryland State Archives, were then searched to better understand the birth information concerning Eleanor McKinnon. Page 51 of these records shows in part: Illegitimate "Eleanor the A daughter of Ruth McKinnon Born- March 2, 1759 Mary daughter ofElisha White and his wife Agnes Born October 6, 1759 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. 4 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. No information can be found concerning Eleanor Howard prior to the marriage license on February 17 1778. No information can be found on Eleanor McKinnon after her birth registration. While Eleanor McKinnon seems to drop out of existence, information on her two sisters is available as seen from the following: Anne McKinnon was born February 7, 1753 and about 1775 married Thomas Rogers born about 1747 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. No record of this marriage can be found in Anne Arundel County. Anne died December 12, 1830. They had eight children(36). Ruth McKinnon was born December 4, 1755 and about 1785 married Captain John Bavington (Bevington) born February 2, 1750. They both died in Washington County, Pennsylvania, he on June 10, 1810 and she on February 4, 1824. They took up a Patent called "Milltown" in Washington County, PA, February 22, 1786. They had ten children(37). (The records of Pennsylvania were not research for additional information.) Eleanor Howard is claimed to be the daughter of a male Howard (General Eager Howard). Eleanor McKinnon's father cannot be established and the most that can be inferred from the records was that he resided in All Hallows Parish of Anne Arundel County, Maryland and was not Daniel McKinnon. Eleanor MeKinnon's birthday is March 2nd. Rev. Ege lists Eleanor and John's marriage date as March 2nd. While at first glance this might be dismissed as a coincidence, it should be noted that Rev. Ege also lists Eleanor Howard's birthday as June 11th. A review of the military records of John Dodson reveals that he was discharged from military service on June II, 1778. The probability of two date coincidences is highly unlikely and combined with the previous discussion of Rev. Ege's work would strongly support the presumption that Rev. Ege and possibly others actually confused the data. Next, looking at the information that can find on the McKinnon family to see how it would fit, the following is found: Daniel M'Kinnon appears to have been born about 1730 in Isle of Skve, Inverness, Scotland(38) and some compilers report that he and his brother Joseph were sons of Lord Michael McKinnon(39). One reference says that his wife Ruth was born in Anne Arundel County, Maryland before 1741 and that they married in Anne Arundel County(40). However, after considerable searching, no record of this marriage can be found. Another, seemingly more believable report is that Daniel and Ruth came to Maryland from Scotland about 1750(41). Records of Queen Anne Parish, Anne Arundel County, Maryland show that a son, Daniel was born to Ruth and Daniel McKinnon in 1752(42). A deed of 1753 concerning the purchase of a Negro woman identifies Daniel McKinnon as a schoolmaster in Anne Arundel County(43). This would be the time of the birth of their first child. Daniel McKinnon becomes the headmaster of Queen Anne Parish School in 1753(44). In the spring or early summer of 1758, Daniel McKinnon returns to England(45). (Eleanor McKinnon is bom March 2, 1759.) Daniel McKinnon placed the following advertisement in the November 16, 1758 Maryland Gazette: "Whereas I've lately begun to keep School at London Town, I give Public Notice, That I will Teach GRAMMER at four Guineas per Annum and all Gentlemen who may be pleased to favour me with their Custom, may depend upon being served with Candour and Fidelity by Their most Humble Servant Daniel M'Kinnon"(46) 5 (Londontown is in All Hallows Parish, Anne Arundel County and is located on the south shore of South River about halfway between the Chesapeake Bay and the head of the River.) March 29,1759 Daniel McKinnon placed the following advertisement in the Maryland Gazette: " Whereas Ruth M'Kinnon formerly spouse to the subscriber, is forever hereafter justly separated and discharged from me, because her having lately brought into my Family an adulterous Child, which was begot about the beginning of June 1758, while I was absent in Britian; being born in full Time and Health on the second of this Instant March: These are therefore to forewarn all Persons of whatsoever Denomination, for the ftiture, from dealing with, or trusting her on my account, for I do hereby solemnly protest, that I will not (according to Law) pay so much as a Farthing of any Debt or Debts, which she may contract from the date hereof. Daniel M'Kinnon"(47). No information has been found as to what happened to Ruth McKinnon after the above publication. Other researchers have established that Eleanor lived with Daniel McKinnon and the other children during the following period(48). Since Eleanor apparently did not live with her mother and might not of even known her, it might explain why the only parental reference for Eleanor Howard was the father. Daniel McKinnon is next noted as moving to Queen Anne's County, MD (across the Chesapeake Bay on what is called the Eastern Shore) where he was master of Queen Anne's County School from February 11, 1760 to July 28, 1762(49). In August 7, 1766 Catherine Lanham, administratrix, officially verifies the will of Edward Lanham her late husband(50). In late March or early April 1767, the final accounting of Edward Lanham's estate was made by Daniel and Catherine McKinnon(51 52). St John's parish register shows Daniel, son of Daniel and Catharine McKinnon was (born April 19, 1767) baptized June 7, 1767(53). These finding when taken together indicate Daniel re-married and his second wife was Catherine Lanham. In 1768 Daniel appears to have again returned to England and was ordained by the Bishop of London in 1768(54). Hardly something that would have been done if Daniel had been divorced. Thus it suggests that Ruth may have died. Daniel returned to Maryland in 1769 and is listed as the Minister at All Saints Parish in Frederick County, Maryland(55). In 1772 he is listed as the Minister at St. Margaret's Westminister (Broad Neck) Parish back in Anne Arundel County Maryland(56). (This parish is a peninsula of land on the Chesapeake Bay between the Severn and Magothy Rivers and near Annapolis) The Church of England was dis-established in Maryland in 1777. According to various histories of the colonial church, Daniel McKinnon was one of the ministers who returned to England. There is also speculation that he died while a sea during this trip(57). The Maryland Marriage Records show a marriage license was issued on December 9, 1777 to Daniel McKennon and Maria Wilson(58 59). This would appear to have been the unnamed son born to Ruth and Daniel in 1752. It appears from the research of others that Eleanor's half-sisters and half-brother may have left Maryland about this time. They are reported to have gone to Fayette County Pennsylvania, south of Pittsburgh(60). Maryland appears to have had no divorce law prior to the Constitution of 1851 and the March 1759 publication in the Maryland Gazette is considered by some as a divorce(61). It should be noted that no other information has been located for Ruth McKinnon (wife of Daniel) in the records Anne Arundel County or any place the McKinnon family was located after 1759. Nothing in the above information concerning the McKinnon family would be inconsistent with the assumption that Eleanor McKinnon and Eleanor Howard were in fact the same person. The military records show that John Dodson was inducted into service by Lt. James Brice. This process took place February 5, 1778 in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, Maryland(62). Lt. James Brice was the son of Captain John Brice. St. John's parish register shows that on November 19, 1761 Sarah Bryce, the second daughter of Captain John Bryce of Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, Maryland was 6 married to Richard Henderson(63). This wedding took place while the McKinnon family was associated with St. John's parish. Thus it is likely that Eleanor knew the Brice Family and they could have acted to bring John Dodson and Eleanor (Howard) McKinnon together. The register for the military unit being formed in Annapolis shows the following enlistments:(64) Name Rank Date Enlisted Date Discharged Remarks Majors. Jno Pvt 4Febl778 16 Aug 1880 Prisoner Dodson. John Pvt 5 Feb 1778 11 Jun 1778 Discharged Pringlc. John Pvt 6 Feb 1778 16 Aug. 1880 Missing Rady. Laurence Pvt 7 Feb 1778 8 Jul 1779 Deserted Cheney. John Pvt 10 Feb 1778 Timms. Edward Pvt 11 Feb 1778 1 Nov 1880 Present Therefore it appears that John Dodson was not part of any group but rather enlisted himself on that date. John Dodson voluntarily enlisted on February 5, 1778. The marriage license to John and Eleanor was issued on February 17, 1778. John passed muster on February 27, 1778. John Dodson, the first child of Eleanor and John was bom on December 25. 1778(65). Thus, Eleanor was about three months pregnant and probably the reason for John's discharge on June 11, 1778. But why would Eleanor have used the surname Howard rather than McKinnon when obtaining the marriage license? On February 5, 1777, the General Assembly of Maryland enacted a law which made it necessary for every male 18 years and older, every civil officer, senator, delegate to Congress or assembly, member of council, elector of the senate, attorneys at law, every voter for delegate, sheriff, electors to the senate, and all other persons holding any office of trust or profit in the state to sign an Oath of Allegiance and Fidelity to the state of Maryland and the cause of freedom before a magistrate of the court. John Dodson signed the Oath on February 5, 1777. However, Daniel McKinnon, being ordained by the Church of England had sworn an oath to the King of England and if he were still in Maryland, probably felt he could not make such an oath. A careful review reveals there is no record of him signing the Oath of Allegiance. If it is correct that Daniel McKinnon returned to Britain in 1776 or 1777 as a result of the dis- establishment of the Church of England, Eleanor no longer had a home. The law required that she obtain the marriage license in the county where she usually resided and since the family moved frequently, she may have needed proof that she usually resided in Anne Arundel County. What better proof than the Howard surname that had long been associated with Anne Arundel County. With Daniel McKinnon out of the country, Eleanor could have wanted to set the record straight as to her true father. Since the illegitimate birth of Eleanor McKinnon was a very scandalous affair at that time, the clerk of the court for Anne Arundel County granting the license was someone who usually had intimate knowledge of the county and he may have known that the true father of Eleanor McKinnon was a Howard. (A review of the original record shows no interlineations or changes in the marriage license entry.) Another theory that has been suggested is that after the death of Margaret, Joseph Howard Sr. may have no longer needed to keep Eleanor's birth secret. However, Eleanor was never mentioned in his will written December 10, 1777 (after the death of his wife Margaret and shortly before Eleanor's marriage to John) or in the disposition of his estate. Therefore it appears unlikely that this theory has merit. Also, it could be argued that if she learned of the content of Joseph Howard Sr. 's December 1777 will and that she was not included, this could have been her motivation for declaring it on the marriage license. 7 In light of the evidence found which applies to both Eleanor McKinnon and Eleanor Howard and the fact that no evidence found contradict the assumption that Eleanor McKinnon are the same, it is a reasonable conclusion that they are in fact the same person. Unfortunately, the above still leaves many questions open such as when and by whom were they married, what happened between 1778 and when they arrived in Hamilton County, Ohio in 1795, why William had the middle name Beal, etc. But, as anyone experienced in research knows, all questions are rarely answered. Next lets look at which Howard may have been the father of Eleanor. The 1776 Maryland census (the first such listing) list the following Howards in Anne Arundel County. Denune Howard (Page 2) who has one white male Joseph Howard Jr. (Page 2) who has one white male, one white female, and two children. Joseph Howard Sr. (Page 9) who has two white males, two white females and one child. Vashel (incorrectly read as Nashet by some transcribers) Howard (Page 4) who has one white male, one white female and seven children. Joseph Howard Sr. is reported to have had four children: Margaret born April 4, 1746, Joseph Jr. born March 13, 1749, Margery born March 17, 1752/3, and Benjamin born August 26, 1761(66). Joseph Howard Jr. is himself listed on Page 9 in the 1776 Census. Margery married Henry Hall on December 27, 1774 and they are listed on Page 4 of the 1776 Census. Joseph Howard Sr.'s wife, Margaret Williams died about 1762 shortly after the birth of their youngest son Benjamin. Based on the foregoing the 1776 Census should only show three individuals for Joseph Howard Sr. (Joseph Sr., Benjamin, and Margaret) instead of the five that are listed. No data can be found which explain these additional persons in the 1776 Census for Joseph Howard Sr. Could the additional male and female listings be Eleanor and her half-brother Daniel (who married in Anne Arundel County in 1777)?(67) Also, it should be noted that Joseph Howard Sr. and his wife Margaret had children in 1746, 1749 and 1752/3. Their next child was born in the late summer of 1761. That leaves a period of eight or nine years between births when no children were born to Margaret. Could Eleanor McKinnon have been the result of an affair that Joseph Sr. was having during that period? Joseph Howard Sr. was a wealthy person and a large landholder. This alone made him well respected in the area. Among his land holdings was "Howard's Inheritance", willed to him by his father, and consisting of 380 acres of land on or near South River in All Hallows Parish. At the time of Eleanor McKinnon's birth, Joseph Howard Sr. and his family resided there. The mentioned will also provided that Joseph Sr. be "instructed in the knowledge of physick" by his father's friend. Dr. Richard Hill(68). Whether this vocation was pursued was not further researched. Ruth McKinnon, at the time of Eleanor's birth, was not a simple country girl seduced on a warm summer's evening. Her husband, Daniel, as School Master, occupied a position of respect. And if he was in fact the son of Lord Michael McKinnon, he would have commanded even more respect. And, finally, she had given birth to at least three children: a son (Daniel), Anne and Ruth. Surprisingly for the times there is no evidence that Ruth McKinnon and Eleanor's father were in anyway held criminally responsible for their adultery which was considered a serious crime at the time. The only punishment that can be found is Daniel's publication of the illegitimate birth and the resulting scandal. Could it be that Eleanor's father was of such influence that the crime was not further pursued? All of the above strongly suggests that Eleanor's father was a man of postion and respect such as Joseph Howard Sr. Rev. Ege's also claimed that John Dodson landed in Annapolis Maryland in 1771 but provided no documentation to support the claim. Several searches of the transport records of the time have not yielded any documentation for this claim. However, a John Dodson was found leaving England in February 1774 as the result of a "Sentence of Transport" from London(69). Finally, Rev. Ege reported that "some time after the marriage of John and Eleanor they resided in Baltimore". A search of the 1790 Federal Census and other resources fails to show any John Dodson 8 living in Baltimore County, Maryland. However, the 1790 Federal Census on page 85 lists a John Dodson with one white male over 16, four white males under 16, two females and no slaves living in Montgomery County, Maryland(70). This corresponds to John as the one white male over 16, John Jr., Edward, William, and Samuel as the four white males under 16, and Eleanor and Margaret as the white females. Thus John and Eleanor lived in Montgomery County Maryland prior to their move to Hamilton County Ohio in the fall of 1795. Accordingly, the writer proposes the recorded information for Eleanor Howard and Eleanor McKinnon be modified in accordance with the above. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 Dodson Genealogy 1600 - 1907, Rev.
