May 20, 200 A.D.: Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church. Irenaeus and Tertullian omit it from their lists of feasts; Origen, glancing perhaps at the discreditable imperial Natalitia, asserts (in Lev. Hom. viii in Migne, P.G., XII, 495) that in the Scriptures sinners alone, not saints, celebrate their birthday; Arnobius (VII, 32 in P.L., V, 1264) can still ridicule the "birthdays" of the gods.
Alexandria
The first evidence of the feast is from Egypt. About A.D. 200, Clement of Alexandria (Stromata I.21) says that certain Egyptian theologians "over curiously" assign, not the year alone, but the day of Christ's birth, placing it on 25 Pachon (20 May) in the twenty-eighth year of Augustus. [Ideler (Chron., II, 397, n.) thought they did this believing that the ninth month, in which Christ was born, was the ninth of their own calendar.] Others reached the date of 24 or 25 Pharmuthi (19 or 20 April).[1]

May 20, 325 CE Council of Nicea: To complete his grand plan of unification, Constantine convened a conference in ancient Nicea, now the Turkish town of Iznik, to settle the matter. What came to be known as the Council of Nicea drew around 250 bishops, mostly from the eastern provinces. With Constantine presiding, Christianity was consecrated as the official religion of the Roman Empire.[4] Among delegates who attended the Council of Nicea (A.D. 325) were several from Britain.[5]

This differ’s form the doctrinal manifesto usually known as the Nicene Creed, which was actually composed at the Council of Constantinople.[6]
325 CE: Most fateful for Jews, the council dramatically inflated the significance of the crucifixion and reinforced Christian claims for Jesus as the Son of God. The new orthodoxy proved catastrophic for Jews. Although Judaism was not declared a “prohibited sect,” fervent Jews came to be seen as backward and superstitious and were occasionally targeted for their perceived role in Jesus’ killing. The Hebrew Bible was rechristened the “Old Testament.” Subsequent councils forbade Christians from celebrating Passover, although many ignored the edict at first. The alternative Christian celebration of Jesus’ resurrection was later named Easter after the Teutonic pagan goddess of the rising light of day and the spring. Christians were banned from observing the Jewish Sabbath, as Sunday became the Christian day of prayer. [7]
325 CE: First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea. The Christian Church separates the calculation of the date of Easter from the Jewish Passover: “It was…declared improper to follow the custom of the Jews in the celebration of this holy festival, because, their hands having been stained with crime, the minds of these wretched men are necessarily blinded...Let us, then, have nothing in common with the Jews, who are our adversaries…avoiding all contact with that evil way….who, after having compassed the death of the Lord, being out of their minds, are guided not by sound reason, but by an unrestrained passion, wherever their innate madness carries them…. A people so utterly depraved. … Therefore, this irregularity must be corrected, in order that we may no more have anything in common with those parricides and the murderers of our Lord. …no single point in common with the perjury of the Jews.[8]
326: Constantine’s wife Fausta, questions the integrity of his son Crispis. Crispis was Constantines eldest son from an earlier marriage. There was a rivalry with Crispis and his half brothers of Fausta and Constantine. Fausta brings shocking news that Crispis has tried to seduce her. Imprisoned in Pola, modern day Croatia, Crispis is killed even though Helena convinces Constantine that it is a hoax. Fausta is also killed. [9]
May 20, 526: An earthquake, with an epicenter in Syria that reportedly killed 300,000 people, is felt throughout much of the Near East including at least two towns now located in the modern state of Israel – Acre and Beit Jann.[10]
May 20, 1092: During the reign of St. Ladislaus the Synod of Szabolcs decreed that Jews in Hungary should not be permitted to have Christian wives or to keep Christian slaves. This decree had been promulgated in the Christian countries of Europe since the fifth century, and St. Ladislaus merely introduced it into Hungary.[11]
1093: End of rule of Malcolm III of Scotland – dies during invasion of England – brother Donald Bane rules, Hugh le Gros founds Benedictine monastery in Chester, End of Malcolm Canmore as King of Scots dies in battle with English, Donald Bane rules to 1097, Malcolm III captured and killed at Alnwick, Malcolm III succeeded by brother Donald II (Donald Bane), End of rule of Malcolm III of Scotland. [12]
May 20, 1096: Every Jew that was captured was put to death. As at Speir the bishop intervened and opened his palace to Jewish refugees. ‘But Emich and the angry crowds with him forced the gates and broke into the sanctuary. There, despite the bishop’s protests, they slaughtered all his guests, to the number of about five hundred. The massacre at Worms took place on May 20.[13]

1095-1272
During the first 700 years of Christendom Jewish communities in Europe are rarely placed in direct physical danger. But the situation changes when, in 1095, Pope Urbanus calls for a crusade to liberate Jerusalem from the hands of the Muslims.[15] (At certain periods of the years 1096 until 1272, A.D.) The word crusade means, ‘take the cross’ hence the Christian art work on most of the coat-of-arms dating back to that period.[16] About 1100 to 1300 during the High Middle Ages, the fanaticism of the Catholic Church reach its highest levels with intense persecution of Jews, and tens of thousands were slaughtered by Crusaders and others. During the Crusades, which began about 1100 CE and lasted for nearly 200 years, Jews were killed during the beginning of each Crusade, being blamed that the Holy Land was not in Christian hands; The Crusades rampaged through the Rhine and Danube River regions, massacring Jews because “why should we attack the (Muslim) unbelievers in the Holy Land and leave infidels in our midst undisturbed?” [17]
During the Crusades (1095-1272), Jews began to flee from areas covered by present day Spain, France, and Germany to Bavaria, Austria, Bohemia/Moravia, and northern Italy, and later to present-day Poland.
The Crusades of the 11th and 12 Centuries brought terror and destruction to numerous Jewish communities in the Rhineland of France, in Germany and even England, as this rabble marched to “purify the Holy Land” of the infidels-Moslems and Jews.
Forced conversions, blood libels, segregation and discrimination, impoverishment and expulsion was the common fate of Ashkenazi Jewry, as individuals and entire communities.[18]
Jews move from Germany to Russia, 1096-1192.[19]

With the crusades, the status of the Jews as second class citizens becomes entrenched in Church dogma and state laws throughout Christian Europe. A period of oppression and insecurity follows that ends only in the 18th century.[21]
May 20, 1570 - Egidius Coppens publishes Abraham Ortelius' "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum"[22]
May 20, 1631: The city of Magdeburg in Germany is seized by forces of the Holy Roman Empire and most of its inhabitants massacred, in one of the bloodiest incidents of the Thirty Years' War. For once, there were probably no Jews among the dead. The Jews had been explled from the town in 1493 and would not be readmitted until 1671 during the reign of the great elector, Frederick William.[23]
1632: King Ladislaus IV of Poland forbids antisemitic print-outs.[24]
May 20, 1648: King Wladislaus IV of Poland passed away. Wladislaus was the king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth when the Chmielnicki, Uprising began in January of 1648. According to some, the King and his advisors underestimated the size and the strength of the uprising. They suffered to major defeats as the Cossacks moved westward. His death left the Poles leaderless at a crucial time in their history and may have been a contributing factor to the success of the uprising which brought death and destructions to hundreds of thousands of Jews living throughout the area.[25]
May 20, 1671: Frederick William of Prussia permitted 50 Jewish families who had been expelled from Vienna to settle in his dominion.[26]
May 20, 1690: A combined French and Indian force destroy a settlement at Casco, Maine, during King William’s War.[27]
May 20, 1775: William Elliott was a partizan of Pennsylvania in the jurisdictional disputes
between that colony and Virginia. At the first term of the Virginia Court at
Pittsburgh, he was committed to jail (''goal") until he paid a bond of jEIOO
to keep the peace and refrain from taking an account of individuals' property
for the purpose of taxation on the part of Pennsylvania. "Minutes of the
Court at Fort Dunmore." ACM, I, 526. On May 20, 1775, Robert Elliott
conveyed to William Elliott 900 acres on the "Old Forbes Road," 12 miles
from Pittsburgh, adjacent to land of Ephriam Douglas. Ibid., 301, 302.
His name appears several times in the Account Book of Casper Reel at
Pittsburgh in 1775, for dressing deer skins and making breeches. WPHS, MS.
He also appears on the tax lists of Pitt Township, Westmoreland County, for
1772. Veech, Monongahela of Old, 199.
May 20, 1777: The Cherokee Indians give up all of their territory in South Carolina, signing the Treaty of DeWitts Corner.[28]
May 20, 1778
Lieutenant Piel, also of the von Donop Regiment, correctly noted the events of 20 May 1778. “Because we had news that the rebel General [Marie Joseph] Marquis de Lafayette had crossed the Schuylkill with 5,000 men and wished to establish himself near White Marsh, the English and Hessian Grenadiers, as well as the Light Infantry, marched out at about nine o’clock in the morning to approach the enemy corps from the rear. This morning at six o’clock, another corps of English, Hessians, and Ansbachers took the road through Germantown in order to make a frontal attack against the enemy. However, the Marquis received timely reports of these movements and hurriedly pulled back over the Schuylkill. The Woellwarth Brigade did not participate in these movements, but remained in Philadelphia under arms throughout the period”[29]
May, Colonel William Crawford took command of the Thirteenth Regiment under BrIgadier-General Lachlln McIntosh who had succeeded General Hand. Colonel William Crawford located and erected Fort Crawford a short distance above the mouth of Puckerty Creek, about 16 miles above Fort Pitt. Colonel Crawford was in command at Fort Crawford 1778-80. Colonel George Rodgers Clark invited Crawford to join his expedition to the Mississippi River. Due to the condition of the frontier, Crawford had to refuse. Colonel Crawford took active part under Brigadier-General Mcintosh in the expedition against Detroit. [30]

Sir: At my arrival at this place,[33] I found a number of volunteers from Westmoreland county, about one hundred men. The Washington county people are to rendexvous at the Mingo Bottom [on the east side of the Ohio]. If common report can be true, there will be about three or four hundred men. I am afraid the smallest number. I should be happy to see you at the Mingo Bottom if it is convenient for you. I am much afraid guides will be wanting. None seem to be fixed on that I can find that will go. I can hear nothing of Thomas Nicholson[34] for scouting. Tomorrow we shall be at the Mingo Bottom. About Wednesday we shall cross the Ohio and be able to begin our march on Thrusday morning or Wednsday evening. I must beg your assistance in requestin Dr. Knight’s coming as soon as possible. I can find him a horse from Colonel Canon’s, if he can come that far. I shall write you from time to time as opportunity may offer.[35]

The Wyandot Indian town of Sandusky was considered by these intrepid Washington County pioneers to be the base from which all of these Indian raids emanated. They were instigated of course, by the British from Detroit. It was more than a year until the war was officially closed and the armies disbanded on the eastern seaboard. This point was on the Sandusky River in present Wyandot County, Ohio. Mingo Bottom, on May 20, 1782, became the place of rendevous for the movement which has been known as Crawford’s expedition. General Irvine threw his influence towards the selection of Colonel William Crawford to command the expedition. Colonel David Williamson was ambitious to command and was but five votes short of heading it.[37]

May 20, 1819: Thomas Moore (1745-1823) and his wife Mary Harrison (1761-1835) were among the second party of European settlers to enter Bourbon (now Harrison) County Kentucky. They lived on a tract of 2,000 acres in what is now known as the Poindexter Section of the county. In his will, executed May 20, 1819, Thomas Moore left all his property to Mary, for her use and disposition at her death.[40]

Att. H.C. Moore C. H. C.[41]
Thomas Moore made his will on May 20, 1819, leaving his estate to his wife, naming her to execute his wishes. Mary left lands to children, whose own children inherited in turn. Grandson Marmakuke Moore (1808-1883), after a stint as sheriff of Harrison County, sold his holdings and moved to Covington Kentucky by 1850.
The spare accounts we have about the Moores and the Harrisons are suggestive of a powerful incentive shared by hundreds, then multiple thousands of immigrants to America and also by their early descendents. The unwavering objective, extending across the generations, was to transform vast lands into property. The property motive was in high profile for descendents of colonists from the British Isles, where even the forests were off limits, as owned by the king. The ownership motivation brought the settlers into genocidal conflict with the aboriginal occupiers of America, whose communal ways rejected the idea of land as personal or private property.
Turning land into property seems to have been the primary motive of the settlers, even when there were other incentives, such as unfettered religious practice, or new beginnings well away from the slums of London or the rural poverty of Scotland. The harsh conditionts of life may have pushed the immigrants out of
Europe but ht e vast lands of America is what pulled them. Not long after landfall, the arriving colonials, especially those already with children in their arms and at their sides, realized what lay before them, an impossibly broad expanxe of territory. For the immigrants and their descendents, for gtenerations to come, until the end of the 19th century when the frontier was closed, life would have been full of dreams, discussions and plans with spouses, children and friends. Their subject would have been the land, how to get some it, use it, acquire more of it, hang onto it and pass it down through the family.
Thomas Moore was buried in Harrison County, in Poindexter, west of Cynthiana. A broken headstone reads: Sacred to the Memory of Thomas Moore, a Captain in the Army of the Revolution who died October 20, 1823, in the 78th year of his Life.
There is another headstone, which has a partial inscription today but which was copied some years ago:
Under the Stone are deposited the remains of Mary Moore Consort of Thomas Moore: A native of Virginia, Who died February 7, 1836 In the 75th year of her age To the memory of the fond wife kind parent good neighbor
The Lindsey Cemetery, which contains the Moore graves, is situated on private property, (the McNees farm) in Poindexter, a few miles west of the Cynthiana, KY. The cemetery is about a half mile east of and directly behind a highway marker identifying the location of the cemetery. The marker is on Harrison County Route 1743, “Carl Stephens Road.” You have to enter private property to get to the cemetery. Be nice.[42]

William Henry Harrison (February 9, 1773 – April 4, 1841) was the ninth President of the United States (1841), an American military officer and politician, and the first president to die in office. He was 68 years, 23 days old when inaugurated, the oldest president to take office until Ronald Reagan in 1981, and last President to be born before the United States Declaration of Independence. Harrison died on his 32nd day in office[a] of complications from pneumonia, serving the shortest tenure in United States presidential history. His death sparked a brief constitutional crisis, but that crisis ultimately resolved many questions about presidential succession left unanswered by the Constitution until passage of the 25th Amendment.
Before election as president, Harrison served as the first territorial congressional delegate from the Northwest Territory, governor of the Indiana Territory and later as a U.S. representative and senator from Ohio. He originally gained national fame for leading U.S. forces against American Indians at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811,[1] where he earned the nickname "Tippecanoe" (or "Old Tippecanoe"). As a general in the subsequent War of 1812, his most notable action was in the Battle of the Thames in 1813, which brought an end to hostilities in his region. This battle resulted in the death of Tecumseh and the disbandment of the Native American coalition which he led.[2]
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.[43]
May 20, 1828: Harrison was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives to finish the term of John McLean of Ohio, serving from October 8, 1816, to March 4, 1819. He was elected to and served in the Ohio State Senate from 1819 to 1821, having lost the election for Ohio governor in 1820. In 1822 he ran for the U.S. House but lost by only 500 votes to James W. Gazlay. In 1824 he was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he served until May 20, 1828. Fellow westerners in Congress called Harrison a "Buckeye", a term of affection related to the native Ohio Buckeye tree.[21] He was an Ohio Presidential elector in 1820 for James Monroe.[47] and an Ohio Presidential elector in 1824 for Henry Clay.[48]. In 1817, Harrison declined to serve as Secretary of War under President James Monroe.[44]

May 20, 1865
Private Rigby gave a very detailed account of the long march through the unreconstructed region of the South. The first part of the march to Sisters Ferry was through land so poor that it would have produced only ten to twelve bushels of corn or wheat per acre. Sherman’s army had destroyed this region, and women, claiming that they had not eaten in forty-eight hours, even begged hardtack from the marchers. The returning Confederate soldiers from Johnston’s army presentede a pathetic picture. Officers rode on skeletons which once had been horses. From the three star general to the lowly “clayeater,” all were going home without public demonstration or cheers of joy to welcome them. Rigby symbolized them as “beating the death march of their dead Confederacy.:[52]
Chivalry was further wounded as the Union marchers flaunted their banners and played their marching music. In Waynesboro, the band struck up “Bonnie Blue Flag,” and a Confederate captain, still in full uniform, resenting the insult, wolked into his home and slammed the door. A young lady companion tossed her pretty head in contempt of the passing column. Many, however, who viewed the marchers were openly friendly and acknowledged that they had been beaten fairly and were ready to return to peaceful pursuits. A few, like the insulted captain, retorted, “You have not whipped us, you have only overpowered us. “ One old southern gentleman added that, “We are ready to fight you again.” His two sons recently returned from Lee’s army were of the opinion that the old man could do the next fighting; they had had enough.[53]
Between Waynesboro and August the land improved in quality, and a number of fine mansions were sighted. Lucas noted several men working in great uniforms and a number of southern belles, all very white, showing that they had not been exposed to the sun. Most of the plantation owners still retained their slaves. The Negroes, in most cases, were not yet aware of their freedom A few, however, followed the marching column.[54]
One former owner attempted to take a Negro from the column wit the permission of Colonel Wright. When th e plantation owner drew a revolver to intimidate the fugitive, the 24th acted, relieving the man of his revolvers, money, and claim to the Negro. Another person in greay uniform followed the regiment all the way to Augusta to get a woman who had escaped his cruelty. Rigby criticized the officers for allowing this man tro ride in the rear of the column while they argued the doctrine of civil rights, a doctrine that was dead and damned in the private’s opinion. Rigby felt it was better for the masses of Negroes to remain at their homes where they recweived comparatively good treatment until the government could provide proper protection. The soldiers, however, had a duty not close their eyes to the demands of humanity.[55]
Approaching August the column was hurrahed by a group of Negroes. The cheerers were rebuked by a southern woman who screamed in a piping keg, “You damned niggers, I wish some of these men would shoot you.” Rigby thought that the question of which was preferable, a black skin or a black heart, was hardly debatable. The three Iowa regiments which had outdistanced their eastern comrades at arms, paraded with colors flying and drums beating through Augusta. The troops then crossed the Savannah River and camped one mile northeast of the city in the little hamlet of Hamburg, South Carolina.[56]
May 20, 1865: Confederate General Kirby Smith surrenders all forces west of the Mississippi River.[57]

Died for State Rights Guaranteed under the Constitution. The people of the south, animated by the spirit of 1776, to preserve their rights, withdrew from the federal compact in 1861. The North resorted to coercion. The South, against overwhelming numbers and resources, fought until exhausted. During the war there were twenty-two hundred and fifty seven engagements. In eighteen hundred and eighty-two of these, at least one regiment took part.

[33] Crawford was on his way to meet the volunteers, who were to march against Sandusky.
[34] Thomas was a brother of Joseph Nicholson, who was famous as a scout, he having seen, perhaps, more service in that line, than any other person in the western country. He was with Washington in 1770, down the Ohio, to the Great Kanawha, proving himself upon that occasion, a useful guide. In Dunmore’s war of 1774, he acted as pilot. He was also engaged in the same capacity in several expeditions, during the revolution, from Fort Pitt. After the war, he settled at Pittsburgh and died there.

[49] The 24th Iowa crossed on the afternoon of May 20, and by sundown the army was over the bridge which was then broken up and the boats steamed down river. The march resumed at 10 o'clock that night and the Iowans started for the mouth of Red River. Letter, WTR to brother May 23, 1864.
[50] Joseph Bailey’s engineering skills were once more called on to solve the problem of bridging the 600 yard-wide Atchafalaya River at Simsport without pontoons or the usual engineer field equipment. Using steamers, he improvised a bridge over which Bank’s wagon trains passed the afternoon of the 19th and the troops the next day. (O.R., Bank’s report)
