May 26, 1135: Alfonso VII of León and Castile was crowned in the Cathedral of Leon as Imperator totius Hispaniae, "Emperor of all of Spain". At the start of his reign he curtailed “the rights and liberties which his father had granted the Jews. He ordered that neither a Jew nor a convert might exercise legal authority over Christians, and he held the Jews responsible for the collection of the royal taxes.” After a few years, he adopted a more positive policy towards his Jewish subject. He restored the rights granted by his father and then granted new ones including the granting of a special fuero (charter) in 1136 that permitted the Jews of Guadalajara to outfit themselves like the Christian Knights of his kingdom. Judah ben Joseph ibn Ezra (Nasi) was one of the King’s most influential advisors. After the conquest of Calatrava in 1147, the king placed Judah in command of the fortress, later making him his court chamberlain. The king held Judah ben Joseph in such high esteem that he granted Judah’s request to let the Jews who had fled from the Almohades to settle in Toledo. The reigns of Alfonso and his father are proof that Jews prospered, and suffered, under both Catholic and Moslem rule, depending upon the ruler and the time period.[1]



1136: In 1136 the Pope officially sanctioned the order to undertake military operations, and the Hospitalers would engage in major military operations.[2] Matilda asserts her right to English throne, Lothar invades southern Italy and conquers Apulia, Abelard writes his description of his lobe aggair with Heloise “Historia calamitatum mearum”, Rose window introduced by abbe Suger, Earl of Norfolk rebels against Stephen, Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain popularizes Arthurian romances. [3]

May 26, 1171: The first ritual murder accusation in Europe occurred in Blois, France. Fifty-one Jews were burned, seventeen of them women. As they were burning, they chanted the hymn 'Aleinu' (composed in Talmudic times). Rabbenu Tam declared a day of fasting and prayer in England, France and the Rhineland. One of those killed was Pulcinella (Puncelina), a favorite of Count Theobald, who tried to use her position to convince the count to release the Jews. The count decided to expel all the Jews left in his county but "allowed" himself to be persuaded to change his mind by a payment of 2000 pounds.[4]



1172: Henry II is accepted as lord of Ireland, Queen Eleanor raises Aquitaine against Henry II, Henry II reconciles to pope, Venice Grend Council restricts powers of the doges, Chronicle of Norman dukes written. [5]

1173: Saladin declares self Sultan of Egypt, Saladin overcomes Palestine and Syria – start, William the Lion from Scotland invade England but is captured, death of Vladislav II of Bohemia, Queen Eleanor imprisoned, Bela III king of Hungary, canonization of Thomas a Becket, Waldensian movement begins at Lyons, first authenticated influenza epidemics, Thomas a Becket canonized after murdered in Canterbury, Rebellion of Henry’s eldest sons supported by mother Eleanor of Awuitaine – Henry Richard and Geoffrey, Thomas a Becket cannonized, Henry's sons Henry, Richard and Geoffrey rebel against father unsuccessfully Scotland: William the Lyon invades England but is captured by Henry II, forced to surrender independence. [6]

1174: Emperor Frederick I buys Tuscany, Spoleto, Sardinia and Corsica from Welf VI, Henry II does penance at Canterbury for murder of Becket, Campanile of Pisa (Leaning Tower) built, earliest horse races in England, Saladin conquers Syria, Scottish dependence secured. [7]

Headquarters, New York, May 26, 1780

The army horses are to be put out to pasture tomorrow, except the designated number which are to be screened at the forage office. The Ansbach and Hessian artillery horses and wagon horses, as well as those of the Hessian staff, and a number of the public departmentns, are to be assembled on the common near the provost, following the revelle shot tomorrow morning. Mr. Jannies, commissar of forage, will be there and allot such number for duty as he finds necessary. The rest of the army’s horses, except those of the quartermaster general department which have been ordered to Staten Island, are to assemble at which place they are to be sent to Brooklyn. Mr. Cutler, forage master, will be there to assign pastures.

N.B. The order concerning the horses to be assembled at the quartermaster general shipyard pertains only to those from the New York district.[32]

May 26th, 1782 Sunday.—The loss of several horses detained us untill 8 O’clock next morning. March’d in 2 Columns, as the badness of the ground and the thickets would not admit of marching in 4 Columns agreeable to our proposed plan. We passed through several very steep passages—mires— barren heaths—thickets of thorns almost impassable to the Brushy fork of Cross Creek, Four miles from where we had been encamped. Two miles farther on to the middle fork of Cross Creek the ground produced but huckelberry Bushes and the leaves hardly appeared on the trees.

Our course had been in the fore part of the Day W. inclining a little to the South. Our pilot fearing to be too much to the South inclined now that much to the northward of West. In the afternoon we (our right column [Sic]) passed a large Lick to which a large Elk & Buffaloe path was visible. We crossed after this two more small Branches of the waters of Cross Creek about 6 miles from where they all join and constitute the main Creek. These head Waters are counted to be 30 Miles from Wheeling & their dividing Ridges lost themselves into a more level Country. the Woods grew more open & about 4 P.M. we came upon the waters of Muskingham. Our pilot supposed this to be the original Branch of Midle Creek.

We marched this day about 17 miles and encamped along a small Run in a very Brushy place, in the same order, we had marched in, closing a quarée—vid. plan of encampment.[33]



MapJ

Map of Crawford Expedition and Sandusky settlements[34]



[May 26, 1782—Sunday]

Col. Crawford was irked by the slowness of the first day’s march yesterday and the loud, careless conversation that the men engaged in as they rode. Their four abreast columns had been ragged and disorderly, their behavior more like a group of youngsters out on a lark than an army marching to surprise an enemy. Now, as camp was struck and the army prepared to mount for its second day’s ride, he ordered a sign to be made and posted on a tree for all to read as they passed:



Every Man ought to be convinced that the success of our enterprize depends in great measure upon a rapid & secret march.[35]



V.— CooK TO IRVINE.



May 26, 1782.

Sir:— I have received two letters from you since I have had the opportunity of answering.

I wrote to Colonel Pumroy, as I mentioned in my last, to take the command agreeable to the arrangement, which he has not attended to. Colonel [Charles] Campbell [sub-lieutenant of Westmoreland county] wrote me that Pumroy would attend. this month, and I understand he has not. In short, it appears that every thing is done by those people that they think will promote confusion and disorder. I never can hear that one man is gone from that quarter to the defense of the frontier. Those that were drafted for the defense this month have chiefly turned out volunteers on this [Crawford’s] expedition [against Sandusky] and that is the reason why so few are from this quarter, which is the only part that has done any thing.

I have endeavored to do every thing in my power, and can get so little done to any purpose that my quiet and peace are so destroyed that life, in some measure, is burthensome. I have ordered Colonel [Benjamin] Davis [of the second battalion of Westmoreland militia] now to the frontier for what remains of this month and have ordered a few men more to re-enforce Captain [Thomas] Moore. Eight men are gone. I hope after this month there shall be less cause of complaint.

P. S.—Before I was done writing, Ensign Cooper came in and informs me that Pumroy has attended, but has not waited upon you nor made any report; upon which I have written to him and countermanded the order to Davis. Many thanks for your care about the fine.[36]



May 26, 1790: Congress establishes a government for Tennessee, part of which was formerly the state of Franklin.[37]

•The Treaty of New York is one of several treaties signed between the United States and Native American tribes, conducted in the city of New York.


Summer 1790

The Treaty of New York was a treaty signed in 1790 between leaders of the Native American Tribes Creek people and Henry Knox, then Secretary of War for the United States, under president George Washington.

After a failed treaty attempt between the United States and the Creek Indians at Rock Landing, Georgia, in 1789, which Creek leader Alexander McGillivray abruptly ended and described his grievances in a letter to the United States commissioners, George Washington sent a special emissary, Colonel Marinus Willett to McGillvray, persuading him to come to New York City, then the capital of the United States, to conduct a treaty with Washington and Henry Knox directly.

In the summer of 1790, twenty-seven Creek leaders led by Alexander McGillivray traveled to New York and signed a treaty on behalf of the "Upper, Middle, and Lower Creek and Seminole composing the Creek nation of Indians". Creek leaders ceded a significant portion of their hunting grounds to the United States and agreed to turn runaway slaves over to federal authorities, although the Creek leaders averred that convincing the Creek people to honor the new boundary lines or return African American slaves would be difficult at best.

The United States granted the Creeks the right to punish non-Indian trespassers in their territory but refused to allow the Creeks to punish non-Indians who committed crimes on Creek lands. For their part, the Creeks agreed to turn over Creek people accused of crimes to the U.S. courts. In a secret side agreement to the treaty, McGillivray received a commission as a brigadier in the U.S. Army and was granted permission to import goods through the Spanish port of Pensacola without paying American duties.

The Treaty of New York was the first treaty between the United States and Native Americans not held in Indian controlled lands.

1796

Treaty of New York (also known as Treaty with the Seven Nations of Canada) was a treaty signed on May 31, 1796, between leaders of the First Nations comprising the Seven Nations of Canada and a delegation headed by Abraham Ogden for the United States.[38][39]

The Trail of Tears; Three days after the removal deadline, federal troops and state militia begin what they call “the assembly of the Cherokee people”. [42]The Cherokees are rounded up and placed in internment camps. The round-up of the Cherokee was in Georgia, with most being crowded into Camp Cherokee at Ross’ Landing.[43] They were forced to relocate to Indian Territory, with at least one-quarter of the nation dying as a consequence of the removal.[44] Many were Christians who sang hymns along the way. 15 died at every stop. What we did to the southeast Indians in the 1830’s was “ethnic cleansing”. The removal had caused the death of 4,000 people.[45]

May 26, 1941

“There are many among us who in the past closed their eyes to events abroad because they believed that what was taking place in Europe was none of our business, that we could maintain our physical safety by retiring behind our continental boundaries. Obviously a defense policy based on that is merely to invite future attacks. To those who would not admit the possibility of the approaching storm, the past week has meant the shattering of many elusions. “

Franklin Roosevelt.

Washington thought highly of him, and recommended him for the command of one of the two rifle companies raised in the Shenandoah Valley in 1775. He was the Capt of Virginia troops. In
1776 he was promoted colonel, and was employed in raising a rifle regiment when he was taken ill, with a return of camp fever* and died at his home in Bullskin.
He had some property near Shepherdstown, and had gone into partnership, before the Revolution, with David Shephard in establishing a rival ferry at Shepherstown, where Swearingen's Ferry had prior possession.

(son) Captain Hugh Stephenson was born in 1729 in Westmoreland Co, VA, son of Richard and Honora (Grimes) Stephenson. His mother Honora was previously the widow of William Crawford Senior, and he was half-brother of Colonel William Crawford and a full brother of Captain John Stephenson.

In a letter from Col. William Crawford to George Washington, dated February 12, 1777, he tells of his brother, Valentine's death as well as his half-brother, Hugh Stephenson. Crawford writes "I suppose by this time you may have heard of all my misfortunes. The loss of Hugh Stephenson and Valentine Crawford, who died the 7th of last month at Bullskin without any will, is very hard on me."


And a bit about good ole George Washington:
Col George Eskridge came from Lancaster, England. In 1670, he was seized in Wales by Press Gang, who carried him aboard a ship bound for Virginia, where he was sold to a planter as an indentured servant for 8 years. When he was freed, he returned to England to get his Law Degree and then he came back to Northern Neck of Virginia, between the Potomac and the Rappahannock Rivers. He settled in Westmoreland County, Virginia in 1696.
George was an eminent lawyer. He served 10 years in the House of Burgesses and was a member of Quoram & Kings Attorneys. His plantation of many thousands of acres (Land Grants(below) show 12, 644 acres), was called "Sandy Point", and was located on the Potomac River.
George played an important role in the life of our first President, George Washington. George Washington's mother was named Mary Ball. Her father called her his "Little Rose of Epping Forest". Mary's father died when she was 3 years old. Her mother died a few years later, and in her will she named George Eskridge as the guardian of Mary. Mary spent her childhood in the Eskridge home, and later married a neighbor, Augustine Washington. The wedding took place at "Sandy Point". When Mary's first child was born, he was named for her much loved guardian, George.
Col George Eskridge was neighbors and friends to the Washingtons, Lees, and Carters of Virginia. He was a Vestryman of Yeocomico Episcopal Church in Virginia. He was the first Eskridge to come to America. His portrait hung for several years at Mount Vernon Plantation, but is now in the Department of Archives of the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond, Virginia. Further
reference to George Eskridge is in the Eskridge drawer in the Westmoreland County Museum, Virginia.

Written and Published in the book "Kin of my Grandchildren", by Judge Noble Littell
Colonel George Eskridge was reportedly shanghaied in his youth while walking along a wharf in England about 1670. He was brought to America and sold as an indentured servant. When his term expired, he returned to England, studied law, and came back to Virginia.
He was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses for many of the sessions from 1704 through 1734.
George Washington was very likely named for him, Douglas S. Freeman so stated in his biography of Washington.

Mary Hewes, (the mother of Mary Balland and Mary's older half-sister, Elizabeth Johnson, who married Samuel Bonum), named Colonel Eskridge as the guardian of Mary Ball (George Washington's mother). He served in this capacity from the time Mary was 13 years old, until she married Augustine Washington (George's father). Mary Ball was reared in the home of Colonel Eskridge and her marriage to Augustine Washington took place in Colonel Eskridge's home. It was George Eskridge who held their first born, as he was christened George Washington. A highway marker near Sandy Point, Westmoreland County, Virginia attests to this fact. Freeman commented that Colonel Eskridge was a lawyer of distinction, a land speculator of skill, and a gentleman of character. He was the father of six children by his first marriage (Rebecca Bonum).

On both sides this unhappy campaign of the Red River raised a great and bitter crop of quarrels. Taylor was relieved by Kirby Smith, as the result of an angry correspondence; Banks was overslaughed, and Franklin quit the department in disgust; A. J.
