May 18, 323 BCE: Alexander dies at the age of 32. Despite the legend, there is no proof that Alexander ever came to Jerusalem. He did pass through Judea on his way to conquer Egypt and on his way from the victory. He left the Jews in peace to practice their religion and to live in a semi-independent status. This was his standard treatment for all those who did not oppose him. He and his subordinates encouraged Jews to settle in Egypt and throughout Asia Minor. The Jews were allowed to live in their own commu nities where they were governed by their own councils and courts. Alexander was viewed as an enlightened monarch in much the way that Cyrus the Great had been.
320-280 BC: Onias I, son of Jaddua, High Priest of Israel, ca. 320-280 BC
317 BCE: Antiogonus appoints his son Demetrius governor of Palestine.
316 B.C.: In the Hellenistic era, numerous divisions and conflicts centered around the priesthood within Judaism itself. With the reorganization of the Temple, the high priest became the most important official in the state, but the power struggle within the priesthood meant that there was no peace within the Jewish nation.

Olympias, Mother of Alexander the Great
Alexander the Great was one of the most successful military commanders of all time, securing an empire that stretched from the Mediterranean to the Himalayan Mountains. He seems to have inherited much of his moxie from mom.
Alexander's mother, Olympias, was the fourth wife of Alexander's father. Even in ancient times, Olympias got a bad rap: The historian Plutarch accused her of sleeping with snakes as part of her religious rites.
When Alexander's dad took another wife, a Macedonian named Cleopatra, Olympias went into voluntary exile, only to return after her husband was assassinated -- an event that some historians suspect Olympias had a hand in. She then had Cleopatra murdered, along with Cleopatra's infant child, helping secure her own son's succession to the throne. Olympias has also been accused of poisoning another child of Philip II, Philip III, who would survive with brain damage.
Exactly how ruthless Olympias really was is hard to say, said Brian Pavlac, a historian at King's College in Pennsylvania. Historical women often get painted as especially cruel and vicious, Pavlac told LiveScience. [Fight, Fight, Fight: The History of Human Aggression]
Cruel or not, Olympias' political mechanizations put her at odds with Macedonia's regent Antipater and his son Cassander while Alexander was off conquering the globe. Cassander's army eventually captured Olympias, and she was put to death in 316 B.C., outliving her famous son by seven years.
313 BCE: Ptolemy I of Egypt ruled Jerusalem.
312 BCE: Many Jews supportive of Ptolemy return with him to Egypt, according to Josephus.
312 BCE: The Nabateans first show up in written records at about 312 BCE. At the time they lived in tents and crossed the desert in caravans. Some scholars think that the Nabatean alphabet is the basis for later Arabic writing. The evidence here shows that they spoke Aramaic, the language of the ancient Israelites and later, Jesus.
“I was reading that the German first name "Gottleib" may have a couple different origins. The earliest meaning was not actually "God Love," but "heir" or "descendant" of god. It was actually pre-Christian in its origin.”
Andre Goodfriend 9/17/2008
“As a name meaning "God Love" it was equivalent to the Latin "Amadeus" which means "love God." Christians focusing on biblical Greek will often cite three Greek words for love: Eros (romantic love), Philia (love between friends) and Agape (spiritual love). Agape is rarely used in names or words, but Philia often is, e.g. Philadelphia (the city of brotherly love), Anglophile (someone with a love of English things), Philosophy (love of knowledge) and the name "Theophilos" (someone having a friendly love for God). So, yes, it means "friend of God" but the word it uses is a particular type of love.
So, Gottlieb existed as a name with a different meaning than Theophilos. However, its meaning was reinterpreted and it was paired up as a German translation of Theophilos and Amadeus.”

312 B.C.:
Petra: Ancient City of RockCredit: Aleksander Todorovic | shutterstockLiterally carved into red-desert cliffs southwest of modern-day Amman, Jordan, the ancient city of Petra was the capital for the Nabataeans until its annexation in A.D. 106. Though occupied in the Middle Ages, Petra was hit by a series of earthquakes and was eventually abandoned. Today, its ancient architecture, including numerous ancient tombs and temples, and natural aesthetic attract tourists across the globe. Contrary to its portrayal as the backdrop of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," Petra is not located in the canyon of the crescent moon, nor does it hold the Holy Grail. [Read more: Petra - Ancient City of Rock]
The site of Petra has been inhabited since very ancient times. Remains from the Paleolithic and the Neolithic periods have been discovered at Petra, and the biblical Edomites (Genesis 14:6, 36:20-30; Deut. 2:12) occupied the area about 1200 BC. Petra may be the city of Sela (which, like Petra, means "Rock") mentioned in the Old Testament (Judges 1:36; Isaiah 16:1, 42:11; Obad. 3; 2 Kings 14:7; 2 Chr. 25:12), but this is not certain.
The Nabateans
Petra achieved its greatest importance under the Nabateans, an ancient people whose original homeland was in northeastern Arabia. They migrated westward in the 6th century BC and eventually settled at Petra. Little is known about the Nabateans' history before 312 BC, when Petra was unsuccessfully attacked by Seleucid forces. The High Place of Sacrifice was probably built during this time.
As the Seleucid kingdom weakened in the 2nd century BC, the Nabataean kingdom increased in strength. The chief source of the Nabataeans' prosperity and power was their monopoly on the caravan spice trade that involved such distant places as China, Egypt, Greece, and India and passed from the Arabian interior to the coast.
By the 1st century BC the rich and powerful Nabataean kingdom that extended from Damascus in the north to the Red Sea in the south, and Petra was home to as many as 30,000 people. It was during this period that the most impressive structures of Petra were built, including the Treasury, the Great Temple and the Qasr el-Bint el-Faroun.
A significant key to the city's success was the Nabataeans' ability to control and conserve water. Conduits and the remains of terracotta piping can be seen along the walls of the Outer Siq, which was part of an elaborate system for channelling water around the city.
Roman Period
Upon the Roman general Pompey's entry into Palestine (63 BC), the Nabataean King Aretas III became a Roman vassal, but he retained Damascus and his other conquests. Damascus was later annexed by the Roman emperor Nero (reigned AD 54–68).
In 105-106 AD the Roman emperor Trajan annexed the Nabatean kingdom as part of a major military campaign on Rome's eastern frontiers. The former Nabataean kingdom became the Roman province of Arabia Petraea. Bostra (Bozrah), east of the Jordan River, was chosen by the Romans as the provincial capital instead of Petra.
The final period of Nabataean history was one of peaceful prosperity as allies of Rome. Although after Roman annexation the Nabateans ceased to be an identifiable political group, Petra continued to thrive culturally. Hellenistic and Roman influences may be traced in the royal coinage, temple art, and rock-cut architecture at Petra.
In the 1st century AD the Siq was paved and the impressive classical theater was constructed. After annexation, Roman touches were added to Petra such as the colonnaded cardo (main street). A Nabataean-style tomb was built in Petra for the Roman governor of Arabia Sextius Florentius (127 AD), and a high-ranking Roman soldier was buried in another tomb. The Urn Tomb also dates from this period (2nd-3rd century).
Early Christian Period
Christianity arrived in the 4th century, and a Byzantine church, whose ruins can still be seen at Petra, was built around 450-500 AD. Various tombs and temples at Petra were also used as churches, including the Monastery (a cross carved in the wall gave the structure its popular name) and the Urn Tomb (turned into a church in 447).
But changing trade routes in the 2nd and 3rd centuires had already cause Petra's gradual commercial decline, and in 511, an especially bad earthquake (there were many) sealed the city's fate. Significant habitation of Petra seems to have ceased not long after this point, although there is evidence for a remodeling of the Petra Church around 600 AD.
Islamic and Crusader Periods
Islam arrived in the Arab invasion of the 7th century. Aaron's tomb, on a mountain near Petra, is an important Muslim shrine (holy also to Jews and Christians) and dates from the 14th century.
A Crusader outpost was built in Petra in the 12th century. After the Crusades, Petra became a "lost city," known only to local Arabs. It would lie hidden from the Western world for more than 500 years.
Modern Rediscovery
Petra was rediscovered by Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812. The Swiss explorer was a brilliant student with a thirst for adventure, and in 1809 he was contracted by a London-based association to explore the "interior parts of Africa." Three years later, after intense study of Islam and Arabic, Burckhardt disguised himself as a Muslim scholar, took the name Ibrahim ibn Abdullah, and set out for Egypt. On his way, however, he was lured by local tales of a lost city in the mountains. Using the pretence that he wanted to offer a sacrifice to the Prophet Aaron, he convinced a guide to take him there, and in 1812 he became the first modern Westerner to see Petra.
After Burckhardt's discvoery, almost 50 visitors between 1818 and 1898, followed in his footsteps and published their impressions of the site throughout the 19th century. But until the 1920s, Petra was an inaccessible and inhospitable city where strangers were not particularly welcome.
In World War I, the British hero T.E. Lawrence ("Lawrence of Arabia") famously assisted Arab tribes revolting against Turkish rule. Beginning in 1916, he led many Arab guerilla operations in the desert, some launched from Wadi Rum near Petra. In one such operation, he trapped Turkish soldiers in the Siq in Petra.
Excavations from 1958 on behalf of the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem and, later, the American Center of Oriental Research added greatly to knowledge of Petra. Further excavations begun in 1993 revealed several more temples and monuments that provide insight into the political, social, and religious traditions of the ancient city.
In 1985 Petra was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — Archaeologists in Greece's second-largest city have uncovered a 70-meter (230-foot) section of an ancient road built by the Romans that was the city's main travel artery nearly 2,000 years ago.
The marble-paved road was unearthed during excavations for Thessaloniki's new subway system, which is due to be completed in four years. The road in the northern port city will be raised to be put on permanent display when the metro opens in 2016.
The excavation site was shown to the public on Monday, when details of the permanent display project were also announced. Several of the large marble paving stones were etched with children's board games, while others were marked by horse-drawn cart wheels.
Also discovered at the site were remains of tools and lamps, as well as the bases of marble columns.
Viki Tzanakouli, an archaeologist working on the project, told The Associated Press the Roman road was about 1,800 years old, while remains of an older road built by the ancient Greeks 500 years earlier were found underneath it.
"We have found roads on top of each other, revealing the city's history over the centuries," Tzanakouli said. "The ancient road, and side roads perpendicular to it appear to closely follow modern roads in the city today."
About 7 meters (23 feet) below ground in the center of the city, the ancient road follows in roughly the same direction as the city's modern Egnatia Avenue.
The subway works, started in 2006, present a rare opportunity for archaeologists to explore under the densely populated city — but have also caused years of delays for the project.
In 2008, workers on the Thessaloniki metro discovered more than 1,000 graves, some filled with treasure. The graves were of different shapes and sizes, and some contained jewelry, coins or other pieces of art.
A massive excavation project also took place during the 1990s in the capital, Athens, before the city's new metro system opened in 2000.
Thessaloniki's new subway is already four years behind schedule, due to the excavation work as well as Greece's financial crisis. Thirteen stations will operate initially, before a 10-station extension is added later.
300 B.C.
4th century BCE to 1st Century CE: In the Hellenistic period of the 4th Century BCE – 1st Century CE some evidence indicates that the offspring of intermarriages between Jewish men and non-Jewish women were considered Jewish;[1] as is usual in prerabbinic texts, there is no mention of conversion on the part of the Gentile spouse. On the other hand, Philo of Alexandria calls the child of a Jew and a non-Jew a nothos (bastard), regardless of whether the non-Jewish parent is the father or the mother.[2]
With the emergence of Jewish denominations and the modern rise in Jewish intermarriage in the 20th century, questions about the law of matrilineal descent have assumed greater importance to the Jewish community at large. The heterogeneous Jewish community is divided on the issue of "Who is a Jew?" via descent; matrilineal descent still is the rule within Orthodox Judaism, which also holds that anyone with a Jewish mother has an irrevocable Jewish status, and matrilineal descent is the norm in the Conservative movement. Since 1983, Reform Judaism in the United States of America officially adopted a bilineal policy: one is a Jew if either of one's parents is Jewish, provided that either (a) one is raised as a Jew, by Reform standards, or (b) one engages in an appropriate act of public identification, formalizing a practice that had been common in Reform synagogues for at least a generation. Karaite Judaism, which includes only the Tanakh in its canon, interprets the Torah to indicate that Jewishness passes exclusively through the father's line, maintaining the system of patrilineality that many scholars believe was the practice of ancient Israel.

281 BCE: By 281 BCE there were two major ruling families; the Seleucids, who ruled the territory north to Syria, and the Ptolemy’s, who ruled the eastern Mediterranean and south to Egypt.
During this time a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, called the Septuagint, was created; this meant the holy text was now accessible to people who could not speak Hebrew. The availability of the Septuagint text helped spread interest in Judaism, and many Greek speaking people converted to the religion.
The population of Judea, as the area corresponding to the territory of the former kingdom of Judah was now called, stood at about 100,000 at the time of Alexander; within four centuries it is estimated that a million Jews lived in Palestine and another 2 million in Egypt and Syria.

May 18, 1096: Small as the massacre at Spier, it whetted the appetite. On May 18 Emich and his troops arrived at Worms. Soon afterwards a rumour went round that the Jews had taken a Christian and drowned him and used the water in which they had kept his corpse to poison the city wells. The Jews were not popular at Worms nor in the countryside around; and the ruour brought townsfolk and peasants to join with Emich’s men in attacks on the Jewish quarter.
May 18, 1152: Henry II, King of England marries Eleanor of Aquitaine. This marriage produced two future Kings of England – Richard I (known as the Lionhearted) and King John, the monarch who signed the Magna Charta. For the Jews, Henry’s reign was an improvement over that of his predecessor, King Stephen. While Richard was semi-protective of his Jewish subjects, they suffered at the hands of those who wielded power while he was off crusading or fighting to protect his lands in France. In the first part of his reign, John maintained a positive relationship with his Jewish subjects, but as time went on he turned on them and made unrealistic financial demands on the community.
1153: Death of Bernard of Clairvaux, monastery man, death of David I of Scotland and Malcolm IV rules, Treaty of Wallingford ensures English throne will pass to cousin Matilda’s son Henry Plantagenet, death of Pope Eugene III – Pope Anastasius IV rules, death of Bernard of Clarivaux, Death of David I of Scotland, Matilda’s son Henry II invades England and forces Stephen to make him heir, Malcolm IV “The Maiden” grandson of David I of Scotland rules to 1165, End of English conflict between followers of Mathilda and Stephen, Henry and forces war against Stephen.

May 18, 1268: Following the Battle of Antioch the Principality of Antioch, a crusader state, falls to Baibars I the Mamluk Sultan. During the Mamluk Sultanate, there was an upswing in anti- dhimmī feeling although much of this was really aimed at the Christians who held positions in the government and the Jews were just “tangential beneficiaries” of this attitude.
1269: King James I of Antioch diverted from crusade by storm, Amiens Cathedral rebuilt after burning in 1218, Ottokar acquires Carinthia and Carniola from Hungary, first toll roads in England, Louis IX of France orders Jews to wear purple badge, Polo family returns to Venice and then goes back to China with Marco.
May 18, 1291: In a place called Acre a dream of Holy conquest is shattered forever. In the year 1291 the last Crusader fortress in the holy land fell to an overpowering Sarasin force. (the Mamluks, who controlled a powerful empire in Egypt). The place was Acre, birthplace of Joan, our ancestor. Acre was the gateway to the Holyland. The Mameluks would rule from 1291-1516 and the land became a forgotten province ruled from Damascus. Akko, Jaffa and other ports were destroyed for fear of new crusades, and international commerce was interrupted. The urban centers were virtually in ruins, most of Jerusalem was abandoned, and the small Jewish community living there was poverty stricken. The period of of Mameluk decline was darkened by political and economic upheavals, plagues, locust invasions, and devastating earthquakes.
On May 18, 1471, Richard was named Great Chamberlain and Lord High Admiral of England. Other positions followed: High Sheriff of Cumberland for life, Lieutenant of the North and Commander-in Chief against the Scots and hereditary Warden of the West Marches.
May 18, 1568: Mary Queen of Scots landed at Workington in Cumberland in the north of England and stayed overnight at Workington Hall.[143] On May 18, she was taken into protective custody at Carlisle Castle by local officials.[144]
Mary apparently expected Elizabeth to help her regain her throne.[145] Elizabeth was cautious, and ordered an inquiry into the conduct of the confederate lords and the question of whether Mary was guilty of the murder of Darnley.[146]
May 18, 1754
On the 18th the column reached the Great Crossings of the Youghiogheny (Somerfield), where the companies encamped, and remained several days. The halt at this place was necessary to wait for lower water in the river. Which had been swollen by recent rains.
May 18, 1652: Rhode Island becomes the first colony to abolish slavery.
Saturday May 18, 1754
George Washington sends a letter to Lt. Governor Dinwiddie regarding the possibility of finding a water route through the mountains along the Youghiogheny river. "... The water is now so high, that we cannot possibly cross over with our men, which likewise secures us from any immediate attacks of the enemy. I have Resolved to go down the River to this Fall, which is at Turkey foot ; to inform myself concerning the Nature and difficulty attending this Fall, in order thereto, I have provided a Canoe, and shall with an Officer and 5 men, set out upon this discovery to morrow morning."
Since Ohiopyle Falls is about 10 miles from Confluence, this quote helps to demonstrate that the
term ―Turkey Foot‖ referred to more than just the specific place where the rivers joined at
present-day Confluence. It also referred to the surrounding area. Washington‘s words also
demonstrate that even as late as 1754, the difficulty the falls and rapids pose to water transportation was not yet widely understood.

May 18, 1777
Prechtel reported on the death, or suicide, of the servant Peter on 18 May 1777. “Officer’s servant Peter, servant to Lieutenant [Justus] von Diemar, Sr., lowered himself into the sea from the ship Myrtle on a rope at five o’clock in the evening. He was seen swimming in the water, because the waves did not immediately pull him under. A quarter hour later he was brought back to the ship dead, in a boat which had been sent after him. He was buried in the ocean with a bag of sand hung on him.”
May 18, 1782: Colonel Crawford sets out for Fort Pitt where he has a long interview with General Irving.
Col. Crawford was solicited by the general voice of these western counties and districts to command the expedition. He accordingly set out as a volunteer, and came to Fort Pitt two days before the time appointed for the assembling of the men. As there was no Surgeon yet apponted to go with the expedition, Col. Crawford begged the favor of Gen. Irvine to permit me to accompany him, (my consent having been previously asked,) to which the General agreed, provided Col. Gibson did not object.
May 18, 1784
On the 18th all the troops left the vessels, marched off, and arrived at Cassel at midday. After the regiments had been inspected by their sover¬eign, they marched to their permanent quarters. The Jager Corps was reduced at once, despite its faithful and well-performed service.41 His Serene Highness the Landgrave42 and his entire suite did not bestow a single special, gracious glance on any officer. The subsidies43 had ex¬pired. We had willingly suffered eight years in America for the selfsame money. All services performed were forgotten and we poor “Americans,” who had flattered ourselves with the best reception, were deceived in our expectations in the most undeserved way.—Then envy stretched out its claws toward us.—We became agitated, muttered in our beards, cursed our fate, and bent our proud backs under everything, because it could not be otherwise.
Thus ended the American War,
and thus was the soldier
treated by his sovereign
in Hesse.
Amen!
May 18, 1785: GW had called a meeting of the officers of the Virginia Regiment at Winchester on 4 March 4 to report on the trip down the Ohio River that he had made the previous fall (Va. Gaz., P&D, January 31, February 7, and February 14, 1771). Triplets: the ordinary of James and William Carr Lane at Newgate (no Centreville), Va.
Before GW left Greenway Court, he obtained a grant from Lord Fairfax for the unclaimed land on Dogue Run he had surveyed on March 24, 1770, a total of 201/2 acres (Lord Fairfax’s grant to GW, March 4, 1771, Northern Neck Deeds and Grants, Book 1, 187, Vi Microfilm). This land gave him control of most of the area around his new dams and upper millrace, but a portion of the race still infringed upon William Harrison’s patent, a problem that was not resolved until he exchanged some small strips of land there with William Triplett May 18, 1785.
May 18, 1804: Napolean Bonaparte becomes Emperor of France.
May 1806: Jackson's duel with Charles Dickinson
Andrew Jackson had a fierce will and sometimes savage temper, both illustrated in the following, in which some background is provided as it illustrates the society Jackson lived in:
In 1805 a friend of Jackson's deprecated the manner in which Captain Joseph Ervin had handled a bet with Jackson over a horse race. Ervin's son-in-law, Charles Dickinson became enraged and started quarreling with Jackson's friend which lead to Jackson becoming involved. Dickinson wrote to Jackson calling him a "coward and an equivicator". The affair continued, with more insults and misunderstandings, until Dickinson published a statement in the Nashville Review in May 1806, calling Jackson a "worthless scoundrel, ... a poltroon and a coward".
Jackson challenged Dickinson to a duel very much according to the customs of the time in the south. Dickinson, known as one of the best shots in Tennessee if not the best, had choice of weapons and chose pistols.
Dickinson fired the first shot, which broke two of Jackson's ribs and lodged two inches from his heart. Dickinson then had to stand at the mark as Jackson, clutching his chest, aimed slowly and shot him fatally.
Though acceptable by the code of the times, many people considered it a cold-blooded killing. I presume the rules of engagement were for each man to draw and fire at the same time, upon hearing the signal, but if one fired, there was no "second round" until the other man fired. The implication is that magnanimity would have required Jackson to fire into the air rather than taking a slow deliberate aim at 24 feet.
Jackson's wound never healed properly and abcesses formed around the bullet, causing pain and some debilitation for Jackson's remaining 39 years.
May 1809
At the May term of 1809, the names of Frederick Ambrose, Simon Kenton and John Guthridge appear in the panel of grand jurors. Edward W. Pearce was a resident attorney, and supposed to have been the first. Moses B. Corwin, Henry Bacon and James Cooley were among the early attorneys. Most of these men were conspicuous in the future growth of the county, the descendants of many of them may be still recognized in the politics and industries of the county.
May 18, 1812
From the Columns of “The Reporter” (published at Washington, Pa.,), of date May 18, 1812, is extracted the following notice by Mr. Connell of a public sale of lots in Connellsville in the year preceding that of his death, viz.:
ADVERTISEMENT.
There will be 70 or 80 lots in the flourishing and thriving borough of Connellsville exposed to public sale on Thursday, the 4th day of June next, in the said borough, and sale to continue from day to day until they are sold. I need not mention the situation of this growing place, as it is well known for the many iron works around and near the many boats that are built there, and which communicate a trade with all the western country. There is a new State road laid out by an act of Assembly through this town to intersect the Federal turnpike road near Brownsville. Also about 50 or 60 acres of land will be laid out in lots adjoining said town, to be sold at the same time, when due attendance and reasonable credit will be given by me.
ZACHARIAH CONNELL.
May 1814: Harrison was promoted to First Lt. on August 15, 1813 and on March 17, 1814 was promoted to Captain. The War of 1812 ended in May 1814 and Batteal Harrison was discharged from the Army at Detroit, July 9, 1815.
May 1815: On December 24,1814, the members of the British and American negotiating teams signed and affixed their individual seals to the document, which once ratified by their respective governments, ended the war of 1812.[1] The treaty released all prisoners and restored all war lands and boats, resulting in several changes. Returned to the United States were approximately 10,000,000 acres (40,000 km2) of territory, near Lakes Superior and Michigan, in Maine, and on the Pacific coast.[2] American-held areas of Upper Canada (present-day Ontario) were returned to British control. The treaty made no major changes to the pre-war situation, but Britain promised to return the freed black slaves encouraged during the war to escape to British territory. In practice, a few years later Britain instead paid the United States $350,000 for them.[3]
The British proposal to create an Indian buffer zone in Ohio and Michigan collapsed after the Indian coalition fell apart. [4]
News of the treaty finally reached the United States after the American victory in the Battle of New Orleans and the British victory in the Second Battle of Fort Bowyer, but before the British assault on Mobile, Alabama.[5] Skirmishes occurred between U.S. troops and British-allied Indians along the Mississippi River frontier for months after the treaty, including the Battle of the Sink Hole in May 1815.
May 1818
On the Granary Burying Grounds in Boston, MA is the last resting place of several patriots including Paul Revere, patriot, Son of Liberty, and hero of the famous midnight ride, as well as quite an able craftsman. Revere was already 40 years old that fateful night; he lived another 43 years to 1818.

“Died, at his residence near Connellsville, Fayette county, Pennsylvania, on Thursday, 21st ult., Major Uriah Springer in the 73d year of his age. His father’s family was amongst the first settlers west of the Alleghany mountains before the revolutionary war. Uriah, at the age of nineteen, was commissioned by Lord Dunmore, then governor of Virginia, an ensign in a company of rangers organized for the proteètion of this frontier, and was the first officer that commanded the stockade at this place [Brownsville] in 1774,commonly called Redstone Old Fort. He was subsequently commissioned in the Virginia line and served as captain in the army of the revolution until the end of the war. After the peace of 1783, he continued in the small military establishment of the country and served in several campaigns against the Indians. After the treaty of Greenville, by Gen. Wayne, he retired to his family. During the late war [1812—15], although advanced in years, he was appointed brigade inspector and served a winter campaign on the northwestern frontier. He has left an aged widow [Sarah], daughter of the late Colonel [William] Crawford [and formerly a widow of William Harrison], who [both] fell a sacrifice to Indian barbarity at [not far from] Upper Sandusky.”— Brownsville [Pa.] Observer, 1826, cited in Hazard’s Register, Vol. I, p. 416.
May 1828: After the war, Harrison moved to Ohio, where he was elected to the United States House of Representatives, and in 1824 he became a member of the Senate. There he served a truncated term before being appointed as Minister Plenipotentiary to Colombia in May 1828. In Colombia, he spoke with Simón Bolívar urging his nation to adopt American-style democracy, before returning to his farm in Ohio, where he lived in relative retirement until he was nominated for the presidency in 1836. Defeated, he retired again to his farm before being elected president in 1840, and died of pneumonia in April 1841, a month after taking office.
May 1832: Black Hawk's warriors won a significant victory that left the Americans badly demoralized. As subsequent generations of Indian fighters would learn, however, the mighty force of the U.S. government was relentless.
May 1836: By 1836, the Duchess's brother, Leopold, who had been King of the Belgians since 1831, hoped to marry his niece to his nephew, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.[24] Leopold, Victoria's mother, and Albert's father (Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) were siblings. Leopold arranged for Victoria's mother to invite her Coburg relatives to visit her in May 1836, with the purpose of introducing Victoria to Albert.[25] William IV, however, disapproved of any match with the Coburgs, and instead favoured the suit of Prince Alexander of the Netherlands, second son of the Prince of Orange.[26] Victoria was aware of the various matrimonial plans and critically appraised a parade of eligible princes.[27] According to her diary, she enjoyed Albert's company from the beginning. After the visit she wrote, "[Albert] is extremely handsome; his hair is about the same colour as mine; his eyes are large and blue, and he has a beautiful nose and a very sweet mouth with fine teeth; but the charm of his countenance is his expression, which is most delightful."[28] Alexander, on the other hand, was "very plain".[29]
Victoria wrote to her uncle Leopold, whom Victoria considered her "best and kindest adviser",[30] to thank him "for the prospect of great happiness you have contributed to give me, in the person of dear Albert ... He possesses every quality that could be desired to render me perfectly happy. He is so sensible, so kind, and so good, and so amiable too. He has besides the most pleasing and delightful exterior and appearance you can possibly see."[31] However at 17, Victoria, though interested in Albert, was not yet ready to marry. The parties did not undertake a formal engagement, but assumed that the match would take place in due time.[32]
May 18, 1836 – The Treaty of New Echota was ratified in the United States Senate by just the single vote necessary for the required number.
May 18, 1840 – Ross submits Cherokee claim against the US government for expenses of the Removal.

BURCH - GODLOVE - GRIM
Hi, I've spent years trying to document my ancestors in Hardy County. I have some information, but no real proof, and many unanswered questions.
GODLOVE, Emanuel & Barbara, Barbara in 1840 Hardy Co. Census, both came from Germany. Emanuel came here to Missouri and married in 1841 to Louisa SWANSON of Amherst Co. VA. Barbara later moved to St. Louis where Emanuel was by then a prosperous merchant. Her last name was still GODLOVE. They were most probably siblings.
Other Hardy Co. GODLOVEs were Francis, Abraham, Catharine, and Jacob. All of them except Emanuel were still in the 1850 Hardy census. Also possible they were his children, but unlikely he would have left them behind, so they were probably all siblings. After moving here, Emanuel became part of the LEGEND OF WILSON'S CAVE. Much info to share with "cuzzins"
BURCH, James Wesley, db 10 Jan 1817 m. Melinda GRIM c. 1840 before moving to MO.

Vance also led the Twenty-sixth at Richmond. The Twenty-sixth was ultimately destroyed at the Battle of Gettysburg, losing more than 700 of its original 800 members, though Vance at that time was no longer in military service.
