April 2, 742: Birthdate of Charlemagne. Charlemagne was both King of the Franks and the first Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Despite pressure from the Catholic Church and the mighty Pope Gregory, Charlemagne treated his Jewish subjects and they played a prominent part in his realm.

1280: Abraham Abulafie, a Spanish mystic, evolved a Jewish form of Yoga, using the usual disciplines of concentration such as breathing, the recitation of a mantra and the adoption of a special posture to achieve an alternative state of consciousness. He seems to have believed that he was the Messiah, not only to Jews but also to Christians. In 1280 he visited the Pope as a Jewish ambassador. [10] Volcano, Quilotoa, Andes, Northern Volcanic Zone,

April 2, 1453: Mehmed II began his siege of Constantinople. The siege would lead to the downfall of the Byzantine capitol which would improve the lot of the Jews living in the city as well as opening it up to settlement by Jews living Crete, Transylvania and Slovakia.[20]
April 2, 1634: Galileo's beloved elder daughter, Virginia (Sister Maria Celeste), was particularly devoted to her father. She is buried with him in his tomb in the Basilica of Santa Croce, Florence.
Although a genuinely pious Roman Catholic,[16] Galileo fathered three children out of wedlock with Marina Gamba. They had two daughters, Virginia in 1600 and Livia in 1601, and one son, Vincenzo, in 1606. Because of their illegitimate birth, their father considered the girls unmarriageable, if not posing problems of prohibitively expensive support or dowries, which would have been similar to Galileo's previous extensive financial problems with two of his sisters.[17] Their only worthy alternative was the religious life. Both girls were sent to the convent of San Matteo in Arcetri and remained there for the rest of their lives.[18] Virginia took the name Maria Celeste upon entering the convent. She died on April 2, 1634, and is buried with Galileo at the Basilica of Santa Croce, Florence. Livia took the name Sister Arcangela and was ill for most of her life. Vincenzo was later legitimised as the legal heir of Galileo, and married Sestilia Bocchineri.[19] [21]
April 2nd, 1754
On Tuesday, the 2d of April, at noon, the force marched out of Alexandrea with two wagon, and camped that night sic miles form the town. From that time nothing of note occurred in fifteen day’s marching, except that the detachment was joined by a small company under Capt. Stephen,[22] bringing the total strength of the command up to about one hundred and fifty men.
Washington kept no regular journal on the expedition, but he made hast notes of many occurrences; which notes were captured by the French at the battle of the Monongahela in 1755, and were by them preserved and published, though Washington said afterwards that they had distorted parts of them.[23] George Washington leaves Alexandria VA with two companies of Virginians totaling 132 men. They are bound for the Forks of the Ohio to defend a fort being constructed there by other members of the Virginia Regiment under Captain Trent. [24]

“April 2d, 1768.
“We arrived at the settlement on Redstone on the 23rd day of March. The people having heard of our coming, had appointed a meeting among themselves on the 24th, to consult what measures to take. We took advantage of this meeting, read the Act of Assembly and Proclamation—explaining the law and giving the reasons of it as well as we could, and used our endeavors to persuade them to comply; alleging to them that it was the most probable method to entitle them to favor with the Honorable Proprietors when the land was purchased.
“After lamenting their distressed condition, they told us the people were not fully collected; but they expected all would attend on the Sabbath following, and then they would give us an answer. They, however, affirmed that the Indians were very peaceable, and seemed sorry that they were to be removed, and said they apprehended the English intended to make war upon the Indians, as they were moving off their people from the neighborhood.
“We labored to persuade them that they were imposed upon by a few straggling Indians; that Sir William Johnston, who had informed our Government, must be better acquainted with the mind of the Six Nations, and that they were displeased with the white people’s settling on their unpurchased lands.
“On Sabbath, the 27th, of March, a considerable number attended (their names are subjoined,) and most of them told us they were resolved to move off and would petition your Honor for a preference in obtaining their improvements when a purchase was made. While we were conversing we were informed that a number of Indians were to come to Indian Peter’s. We, judging it might be subservient to our main design that the Indians should be present, while we were advising the people to obey the law, sent for them. They came, and, after sermon, delivered a speech, with a string of wampum, to be transmitted to your Honor. Their speech was— ‘Ye are come, sent by your great men, to tell these people to go away from the land, which ye say is our’s; and we are sent by our great men, and are glad we have met here this day. We tell you, the white people must stop, and we stop them till the treaty, and when George Croghan and our great men talk together, we will tell them what to do.’ The Indians were from Mingo town, about eighty miles from Redstone (a little below Steubenville).
“After this the people were more confirmed that there was no danger of war. They dropped the design of petitioning, and said they would wait the issue of the treaty. Some, however, declared they would move off. We had sent a messenger to Cheat River and to Stewart’s Crossings of Youghiogheny with several proclamations, requesting them to meet us at Gist’s place as most central for both settlement:. On the 3oth of March, about thirty or forty met us there. We proceeded, as at Redstone, reading the Act of Assembly and a Proclamation, and endeavored to convince them of the necessity and reasonableness of quitting the unpurchased land; but to no purpose. They had heard what the Indians had said at Redstone, and they reasoned in the same manner, declaring they had no apprehensions of a war, that they would attend the treaty, and take their measures accordingly. Many severe things were said of Mr. Croghan; and one Lawrence Harrison treated the law and our Government with too much disrespect.
“On the 31st of March we came to the Great Crossings of Youghiogheny, and being informed by one Speer that eight or ten families lived in a place called the Turkey Foot, we sent some proclamations thither by said Speer, as we did to some families nigh the Crossings of Little Yough, judging it unnecessary to go amongst them.
“It is our opinion that some will move off in obedience to the law; that the greatest part will await the treaty, and if they find the Indians are indeed dissatisfied, we think the whole will be persuaded to remove. The Indians coming to Redstone, and delivering their speech, greatly obstructed our design.

In a supplemental report to the Governor by Mr. Steel, he says:
“The people at Redstone alleged that the removing of them from the unpurchased lands was a contrivance of the gentlemen and merchants of Philadelphia, that they might take rights for their improvements when a purchase was made. In confirmation of this they said that a gentleman of the name of Harris, and another called ‘Wallace, with one Friggs, a pilot, spent a considerable time last August in viewing the lands and creeks thereabouts. I am of opinion, from the appearance the people made, and the best intelligence we could obtain, that there are but about an hundred and fifty families in the different settlements of Redstone, Youghiogheny and Cheat.” We suppose this estimate included all the settlers in what is now Fayette county and Turkey Foot. The names of Harris, Wallace and Frigg do not appear in our early land titles, so far as we know. They were perhaps agents for others.[27]
The treaty referred to so often in the foregoing report was to be held at Fort Pitt in the ensuing April and May, by George Croghan,

April 2, 1769
WILLIAM CRAWFORD made application to the proper office for an order to have this tract of land surveyed, April 2, 1769. The order was issued and the survey made and returned to the land office, where it was described as “A certain tract of land called Stewart’s Crossing” situated on the south side of the Youghioghemy River. This home tract of Crawford included nearly all of what subsequently became the village of New Haven, and a considerable quantity of land outside the borough.[28] William Crawford is the 6th great grandfather of Jeffery Lee Goodlove

April 2, 1782: The following is confirmatory of the fact of the early visitations of the savages:
“The intelligence which has been received from the frontiers of the state respecting the ravages of the Indians, and the murders which they have committed at this early season, leaves no room to doubt of their determination to exert their utmost power to distress us during the year, and confirms the accounts we had received from Fort Pitt, Washington [county], etc., of the combinations formed by them for that purpose[30]1 It will be observed that, in the above letter, the declaration of General Irvine that Colonel Marshel “ordered out the militia [of Washington county] to go to Muskingum” is unequivocal; and that, for that reason, he wrote to him for his official “report of the matter,” nnd for that of Colonel Williamson, who commanded the party. But why “go to Muskingum” (that is, to that branch of the river now known as the Tuscarawas)? Leinbach [31] answers the question: “In order to destroy three Indian settlements of which they [the militia] seemed to be sure of being the towns of7 some enemy Indians [that is, warriors — Marauding Indians].”[32]
April 2, 1790: In 1793 and 1794, in Shenandoah County, Frederick Heiskell of Edinburg paid the personal property tax for [no first name] Gutlope/Gudlope. These might be references to Francis Godlove. On April 2, 1790, a Francis Cutliff was in Augusta County. Sarah, daughter of Franz and Maria Gottlob, was born November 5, 1789 and baptized March 14, 1790 at Altalaha Lutheran Church, Rehrersburg, Tulpehocken Township, Berks Co., Pennsylvania. These suggest a man on the move.
I want more evidence, but it looks like Francis Godlove/Franz Gottlob of Hardy and Hampshire Counties was the Johan Franz Gottlob who deserted in July 1783 from Mallet's Company of the Linsing Regiment of Hessian Grenadiers shortly before they left New York after the American War for Independence. This Franz Gottlob was born in Werneck, principality of Würzburg (now in Bavaria). The military records give his year of birth as variously 1751-1753. An 1805 court record says Francis of Hampshire County he was 61 at that time, so born 1744.[33]
April 2, 1790 “Francis Cutliff” was in Augusta County, Va. This is less than three weeks after Sarah’s baptism. If this is a reference to Francis Godlove, perhaps he was scouting the Shenandoah Valley as a potential home.[34]
April 2, 1805: Clark wrote to William Henry Harrison from Fort Mandan in 1805. The long and detailed letter describes the country, wildlife, and Indian tribes he had encountered. Clark explained, "I do my self the pleasure of giving you a summary view of the Missouri &c [country]." Clark to Harrison, April 2, 1805, Fort Mandan, Letters[35].
Harrison informs the Secretary of War about the possible travel of Indian chiefs to Washington. Harrison also relays that Clark has sent him a letter [April 2, 1805] saying that all is well. William Henry Harrison to Henry Dearborn, Vincennes, May 27, 1805, Letters, [36] William Henry Harrison is the 6th cousin 7x removed of Jeffery Lee Goodlove
April 2, 1835: Sally Ann McKinnon married Jonathan Plum.[37] “Sarah” Ann McKinnon is the 1st cousin 4x removed of Jeffery Lee Goodlove
April 2, 1863
During the Civil War, food shortages cause hundreds of angry women to riot in Richmond, Virginia and demand that the Confederate government release emergency supplies, in what became known as the Richmond Bread Riots. In her honor's thesis entitled The Richmond Bread Riot of 1863: Class, Race, and Gender in the Urban Confederacy, MIDN 1/C Katherine R. Titus wrote that while the rioters targeted speculators and government offices "Richmond citizens also targeted foreigners and Jews. The city had a tradition of blatant anti-Semitism. Once the War erupted, many Richmond citizens openly blamed the Jews and foreigners in the city for speculation and charged them with disloyalty. Sallie A. Putnam, for instance, believed that the Jews in Richmond profited from the war. She exhorted, "They were not found, as the more interested of the people, without the means to purchase food when the Confederate money became useless to us from the failure of our cause." Major John W. Daniel contended that local stereotypes allowed the rioters to target Richmond Jews. After the War, he reminisced, "certain people down there were credited with great wealth. It was said that they had made barrels of money out of the Confederacy, and the female Communists went at them without a qualm of conscience."[38]
How did Confederate President Jefferson Davis end the “bread riot,” which occurred in Richmond on April 2, 1863? When an unruly mob demanding bread began looting Richmond stores, Davis dramatically mounted a wagon, delivered a patriotic speech, threw the mob all the money from his pockets, then gave them five minutes to disperse before Confederate troops opened fire. They dispersed.[39]

April 2, 2005: On this day in 2005, John Paul II, history's most well-traveled pope and the first non-Italian to hold the position since the 16th century, dies at his home in the Vatican. Six days later, two million people packed Vatican City for his funeral, said to be the biggest funeral in history.
John Paul II was born Karol Jozef Wojtyla in Wadowice, Poland, 35 miles southwest of Krakow, in 1920. After high school, the future pope enrolled at Krakow's Jagiellonian University, where he studied philosophy and literature and performed in a theater group. During World War II, Nazis occupied Krakow and closed the university, forcing Wojtyla to seek work in a quarry and, later, a chemical factory. By 1941, his mother, father, and only brother had all died, leaving him the sole surviving member of his family.
Although Wojtyla had been involved in the church his whole life, it was not until 1942 that he began seminary training. When the war ended, he returned to school at Jagiellonian to study theology, becoming an ordained priest in 1946. He went on to complete two doctorates and became a professor of moral theology and social ethics. On July 4, 1958, at the age of 38, he was appointed auxiliary bishop of Krakow by Pope Pius XII. He later became the city s archbishop, where he spoke out for religious freedom while the church began the Second Vatican Council, which would revolutionize Catholicism. He was made a cardinal in 1967, taking on the challenges of living and working as a Catholic priest in communist Eastern Europe. Once asked if he feared retribution from communist leaders, he replied, "I m not afraid of them. They are afraid of me."
Wojtyla was quietly and slowly building a reputation as a powerful preacher and a man of both great intellect and charisma. Still, when Pope John Paul I died in 1978 after only a 34-day reign, few suspected Wojtyla would be chosen to replace him. But, after seven rounds of balloting, the Sacred College of Cardinals chose the 58-year-old, and he became the first-ever Slavic pope and the youngest to be chosen in 132 years.
A conservative pontiff, John Paul II s papacy was marked by his firm and unwavering opposition to communism and war, as well as abortion, contraception, capital punishment, and homosexual sex. He later came out against euthanasia, human cloning, and stem cell research. He traveled widely as pope, using the eight languages he spoke (Polish, Italian, French, German, English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin) and his well-known personal charm, to connect with the Catholic faithful, as well as many outside the fold.
On May 13, 1981, Pope John Paul II was shot in St. Peter s Square by a Turkish political extremist, Mehmet Ali Agca. After his release from the hospital, the pope famously visited his would-be assassin in prison, where he had begun serving a life sentence, and personally forgave him for his actions. The next year, another unsuccessful attempt was made on the pope s life, this time by a fanatical priest who opposed the reforms of Vatican II.
Although it was not confirmed by the Vatican until 2003, many believe Pope John Paul II began suffering from Parkinson s disease in the early 1990s. He began to develop slurred speech and had difficulty walking, though he continued to keep up a physically demanding travel schedule. In his final years, he was forced to delegate many of his official duties, but still found the strength to speak to the faithful from a window at the Vatican. In February 2005, the pope was hospitalized with complications from the flu. He died two months later.
Pope John Paul II is remembered for his successful efforts to end communism, as well as for building bridges with peoples of other faiths, and issuing the Catholic Church s first apology for its actions during World War II. He was succeeded by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, who became Pope Benedict XVI. Benedict XVI began the process to beatify John Paul II in May 2005.[51]

April 2, 1906: Mr and Mrs. Earl Goodlove have the sympathy of many friends in the death of their baby daughter, Verlan Floy, born April 2, died August 12, 1906.[53] Verlan Floy is the grand aunt of Jeffery Lee Goodlove.
April 2, 1911: The Women's Trade Union League (WTUL), a cross-class coalition that worked as an ally of the ILGWU, organized a public meeting at the Metropolitan Opera House on April 2. There, Rose Schneiderman, the leader of the 1909 strike, called upon all working people to take action. Three days later, 500,000 people turned out for the funerals of seven unidentified victims of the fire. Under pressure from the ILGWU, the WTUL, and others, New York State established a Committee on Safety in the wake of the fire. In addition, the state legislature set up a Factory Investigating Committee, which drafted new legislation designed to protect workers. Their recommendations included automatic sprinkler systems and occupancy limits tied to the dimensions of exit staircases. Thirty-six labor and safety laws were passed in the three years after the fire, thanks to the agitation of working people. Even as these regulations went into effect, the site of the Triangle fire remained a rallying point for labor organizing. Some survivors, galvanized by their experience, went on to lifetimes of labor activism. Frances Perkins, who witnessed the fire, later became Secretary of Labor under Franklin Roosevelt. She said that the Triangle Fire was what motivated her to devote her career to helping workers. The last survivor of the fire, Rose Rosenfeld Freedman, died in 2001 at age 107.[54]

GA) married Calving Howard Powell (b. December 23, 1823 in NC /d . April 2, 1911 in Carroll Co. GA) on October 30, 1844 in Carroll Co. GA. [55]
April 2, 1917: British authorities gave Walter Hines Page, the U.S. ambassador to Britain, a copy of the Zimmermann Telegram, a coded message from Zimmermann to Count Johann von Bernstorff, the German ambassador to Mexico. In the telegram, intercepted and deciphered by British intelligence in late January, Zimmermann instructed his ambassador, in the event of a German war with the United States, to offer significant financial aid to Mexico if it agreed to enter the conflict as a German ally. Germany also promised to restore to Mexico the lost territories of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
The State Department promptly sent a copy of the Zimmermann Telegram to President Wilson, who was shocked by the note's content and the next day proposed to Congress that the U.S. should start arming its ships against possible German attacks. Wilson also authorized the State Department to publish the telegram; it appeared on the front pages of American newspapers on March 1. Many Americans were horrified and declared the note a forgery; two days later, however, Zimmermann himself announced that it was genuine.
The Zimmermann Telegram helped turn the U.S. public, already angered by repeated German attacks on U.S. ships, firmly against Germany. On April 2, President Wilson, who had initially sought a peaceful resolution to World War I, urged immediate U.S. entrance into the war. Four days later, Congress formally declared war against Germany.[56]
April 2, 1921: Professor Albert Einstein held a press conference aboard the steamship Rotterdam today in New York Harbor. During the conference Einstein talked about his Theory of Relativity and his support for the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine.[57]
April 2, 1930: Haile Selassie is proclaimed emperor of Ethiopia. Part of his title included the honorific "Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah" which is tied to the contention that the Ethiopian rulers traced their origin to a relationship between King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. During World War II, Orde Wingate would aid the king in his fight against the Italians. This is the same Orde Wingate who was stationed in Palestine before World War II. He was one of the few British officers who was supportive of the efforts of the Jews to defend themselves against the Arab who were attacking them. Wingate reportedly provided training for the Zionists in basic military tactics and weapons usage.[58]

April 2, 1941: Hungarian Premier Count Pál Telecki committed suicide rather than collaborate with Germany. This is only one small chapter in the complex story of Hungary's involvement in World War II. For much of the war, Hungary's Jewish population would remain comparatively untouched by the raging Holocaust. Only in the final year of the war would the final solution come to this eastern European state.[60] Our closest DNA connection with the last name of Schlenker, says that Hungary was the location of his earliest known ancestry.
On April 2, 1942 the USS Hornet and a number of escorts set sail from Alameda, California with the 16 B-25s strapped to its deck. This task force rendezvoused with another including the USS Enterprise, and proceeded for the Japanese mainland. An element of surprise was important for this mission to succeed. When the task force was spotted by a Japanese picket boat, Admiral Halsey made the decision to launch the attack earlier than was planned. This meant that the raiders would have to fly more than 600 miles to Japan, and would arrive over their targets in daylight. It also meant that it would be unlikely that each aircraft would have sufficient fuel to reach useable airfields in China. Doolittle had 50 gallons of additional fuel stowed on each aircraft as well as a dinghy and survival supplies for the likely ditchings at sea which would now take place. At approximately 8:00 AM the Hornets loudspeaker blared, Now hear this: Army pilots, man your planes! Doolittle and his co-pilot R.E. Cole piloted the first B-25 off the Hornets deck at about 8:20 AM. With full flaps, and full throttle the Mitchell roared towards the Hornets bow, just barely missing the ships island superstructure. The B-25 lifted off, Doolittle leveled out, and made a single low altitude pass down the painted center line on the Hornets deck to align his compass. The remaining aircraft lifted off at approximately five minute intervals. The mission was planned to include five three-plane sections directed at various targets. However, Doolittle had made it clear that each aircraft was on its own. He insisted, however, that civilian targets be avoided, and under no circumstances was the Imperial Palace in Tokyo to be bombed. About 30 minutes after taking off Doolittles B-25 was joined by another piloted by Lt. Travis Hoover. These two aircraft approached Tokyo from the north. They encountered a number of Japanese fighter or trainer aircraft, but they remained generally undetected at their low altitude. At 1:30 PM the Japanese homeland came under attack for the first time in the War. From low altitudes the raiders put their cargoes of four 500 pounders into a number of key targets. Despite antiaircraft fire, all the attacking aircraft were unscathed. The mission had been a surprise, but the most hazardous portion of the mission lay ahead. The Chinese were not prepared for the raiders arrival. Many of the aircraft were ditched along the coast, and the crews of other aircraft, including Doolittles were forced to bail out in darkness. There were a number of casualties, and several of the raiders were caught by Japanese troops in China, and some were eventually executed. This painting is dedicated to the memories of those airmen who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country and the thousands of innocent Chinese citizens which were brutally slaughtered as a reprisal for their assistance in rescuing the downed crews.[61]
My uncle Howard Snell was on the U.S.S. Enterprise and was a part of this mission.
April 2, 2005: On this day in 2005, John Paul II, history's most well-traveled pope and the first non-Italian to hold the position since the 16th century, dies at his home in the Vatican. Six days later, two million people packed Vatican City for his funeral, said to be the biggest funeral in history.
John Paul II was born Karol Jozef Wojtyla in Wadowice, Poland, 35 miles southwest of Krakow, in 1920. After high school, the future pope enrolled at Krakow's Jagiellonian University, where he studied philosophy and literature and performed in a theater group. During World War II, Nazis occupied Krakow and closed the university, forcing Wojtyla to seek work in a quarry and, later, a chemical factory. By 1941, his mother, father, and only brother had all died, leaving him the sole surviving member of his family.
Although Wojtyla had been involved in the church his whole life, it was not until 1942 that he began seminary training. When the war ended, he returned to school at Jagiellonian to study theology, becoming an ordained priest in 1946. He went on to complete two doctorates and became a professor of moral theology and social ethics. On July 4, 1958, at the age of 38, he was appointed auxiliary bishop of Krakow by Pope Pius XII. He later became the city s archbishop, where he spoke out for religious freedom while the church began the Second Vatican Council, which would revolutionize Catholicism. He was made a cardinal in 1967, taking on the challenges of living and working as a Catholic priest in communist Eastern Europe. Once asked if he feared retribution from communist leaders, he replied, "I m not afraid of them. They are afraid of me."
Wojtyla was quietly and slowly building a reputation as a powerful preacher and a man of both great intellect and charisma. Still, when Pope John Paul I died in 1978 after only a 34-day reign, few suspected Wojtyla would be chosen to replace him. But, after seven rounds of balloting, the Sacred College of Cardinals chose the 58-year-old, and he became the first-ever Slavic pope and the youngest to be chosen in 132 years.
A conservative pontiff, John Paul II s papacy was marked by his firm and unwavering opposition to communism and war, as well as abortion, contraception, capital punishment, and homosexual sex. He later came out against euthanasia, human cloning, and stem cell research. He traveled widely as pope, using the eight languages he spoke (Polish, Italian, French, German, English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin) and his well-known personal charm, to connect with the Catholic faithful, as well as many outside the fold.
On May 13, 1981, Pope John Paul II was shot in St. Peter s Square by a Turkish political extremist, Mehmet Ali Agca. After his release from the hospital, the pope famously visited his would-be assassin in prison, where he had begun serving a life sentence, and personally forgave him for his actions. The next year, another unsuccessful attempt was made on the pope s life, this time by a fanatical priest who opposed the reforms of Vatican II.
Although it was not confirmed by the Vatican until 2003, many believe Pope John Paul II began suffering from Parkinson s disease in the early 1990s. He began to develop slurred speech and had difficulty walking, though he continued to keep up a physically demanding travel schedule. In his final years, he was forced to delegate many of his official duties, but still found the strength to speak to the faithful from a window at the Vatican. In February 2005, the pope was hospitalized with complications from the flu. He died two months later.
Pope John Paul II is remembered for his successful efforts to end communism, as well as for building bridges with peoples of other faiths, and issuing the Catholic Church s first apology for its actions during World War II. He was succeeded by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, who became Pope Benedict XVI. Benedict XVI began the process to beatify John Paul II in May 2005.[62]

[26] Several of these persons resided at considerable distances from the mouth of Redstone, or from Gist’s—as Philip Shute and James McClean, who lived in N. Union township, near the base of Laurel Hill; Thomas Douthitt on the tract where Uniontown now is; Captain Coburn some ten miles southeast of New Geneva; Gabriel Conn probably on Georges creek, near Woodbridgetown. The Provanees settled on Provance’s Bottom, near Masontown, and on the other side of the river, at the mouth of Big Whiteley. The Brownfields located south and southeast Of Uniontown. Ralph Higgenbottom resided on the Waynesburg road, In Menallen township, a little west of the Sandy Hill Quaker graveyard. The others, so far as we know, resided near the places to which they came. lt is singular that the Commissioners did not visit the upper Monongahela, or Georges creek and Cheat settlements. We infer that they were discouraged by their ill success at Redstone.

[42] Despite orders to the contrary, some of the federals “foraged considerably” in the area. Perhaps as an example, the provost marshal picked up six of the offenders, punished them “severely,” and “turned them over to Col. Beal for court martial, which was done.”
However, on at least one occasion, it was the local citizenry who disciplined the bluecoats. On Saturday, April 2nd, three men of Co. I, 24th Iowa Infantry went out foraging at a nearby plantation. Three armed men (no uniforms mentioned) demanded that they surrender. The federals were taken two miles away and tied up. One escaped, the second was shot and killed, and the third was knocked in the head with the butt of a gun but later made it back into camp and reported the incident. General Thomas I. G. Ransom sent the rest of Co. I out the next day with order to burn everything at the plantation which was of no use to the quartermaster department, and those orders were carried out “with exceeding cheerfulness.” http://www.rootsweb.com/~ladesoto/cireac.htm
[43] The only misfortune to befall the 24th was the capture and execution of a member of Company F by a band of rebel guerrillas near Natchitoches, Louisiana. The plantation were the killing occurred was razed by the regiment in retaliation. (A History of the 24th Iowa Infantry 1862-1865 by Harvey H. Kimble Jr. August 1974.)
