May 29, 363: A good day for the Romans and bad day for the Jews. Roman Emperor Julian defeats the Sassanid army in the Battle of Ctesiphon, under the walls of the Sassanid capital, but is impossible to conquer it. But Julian is killed at the end of the battle, some claiming that he was assassinated by a Christian Arab. Julian was the nephew and successor of Constantine. Julian repealed his Uncle’s pro-Christian promulgations allowing the old pagan cults to reappear. This earned him the title Julian the Apostate. Julian also repealed the special taxes that had been levied on the Jews. He announced that the Jews would be allowed to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple. Jews actually built a synagogue near the Temple Mount in anticipation of the rebuilding of the Temple. Unfortunately, the favorable treatment of the Jews died with Julian’s demise. Rome returned to path of Constantine and the Jews returned to the road of exile and expulsion.[1]
May 29, 1035: IBN AL-SAMH
Abu al-Qasim Asbagh ibn Mohammed ibn al-Samh. Flourished at Granada; died May 29, 1035, at the age of 56. Hispano-Muslim mathematician and astronomer. He wrote treatises on commercial arithmetic (al-mu'amalat), on two mental calculus (hisab al-hawa'i), on the nature of numbers, two on geometry, two on astrolabe, its use and construction. His main work seems to have been the compilation of astronomical tables, according to the Siddhanta method (for which see my notes on Mohammed ibn Ibrahim al-Fazari second half of eighth century), together with theoretical explanations (c. 1025).

1037: IBN SINA
Abu Ali al-Hassan ibn Abdallah ibn Sina. Hebrew, Aven Sina; Latin, Avicenna. Born in 980 at Afshana, near Bukhara, died in Hamadhan, 1037. Encyclopaedist, philosopher, physician, mathematician, astronomer. The most famous scientist of Islam and one of the most famous of all races, places, and times; one may say that his thought represents the climax of mediaeval philosophy. He wrote a many great treatises in prose and verse; most of them in Arabic, a few in Persian. His philosophical encyclopedia (Kitab al-shifa, sanatio) implies the following classification: theoretical knowledge (subdivided, with regard to increasing abstraction, into physics, mathematics, and metaphysics), practical knowledge (ethics, economy, politics). His philosophy roughly represents the Aristotelian tradition as modified by Neoplatonic influences and Muslim theology. Among his many other philosophical works, I must still quote a treatise on logic, Kitab al-isharat wal-tanbihat (The Book of Signs and Adonitions). As ibn Sina expressed his views on almost any subject very clearly, very forcible, and generally more than once, his thought is, or at any rate can be, known with great accuracy.
His most important medical works are the Qanun (Canon) and a treatise on cardiac drugs (hitherto unpublished). The Qanun fi-l-tibb is an immense encyclopedia of medicine (of about a million words), a codification of the whole ancient and Muslim knowledge. Being similar in many respects to Galen, Ibn Sina elaborated to a degree the Galenic classifications (for example, he distinguished 15 qualities of pain). Because of its formal perfection as well as its intrinsic value, the Qanun superseded Razi's Hawi, Ali ibn Abbas's Maliki, and even works of Galen, and remained supreme for six centuries. However the very success of Ibn Sina as an encyclopedist caused his original observations to be correspondingly depreciated. Yet the Qanun contains many examples of good observation - distinction of mediastinitis from pleurisy; contagious nature of phthitis; distribution of diseases by soil and water; careful description of skin troubles, of sexual diseases; and supervisions; of nervous ailments (including love sickness); many psychological and pathological facts clearly analyzed if badly explained.
Ibn Sina's interest in mathematics was philosophical rather than technical and such as we would expect in a late Neoplatonist. He explained the casting out of nines and its application to the verification of square and cubes. Many of his writings were devoted to mathematical and astronomical subjects. He composed a translation on Euclid. He made astronomical observations, and devised a contrivance the purpose of which was similar to that of the vernier, that is, to increase the precision of instrumental readings.
He made a profound study of various physical questions - motion, contact, force, vacuum, infinity, light, and heat. He observed that if the perception of light is due to the emission of some sort of particles by the luminous source, and speed of light must be finite. He made investigations on specific gravity.
He did not believe the possibility of chemical transmutation, because in his opinion the differences of the metals were not superficial, but much deeper; coloring or bronzing the metals does not affect their essence. It should be noted that these views were radically opposed to those which were then generally accepted.
Ibn Sina's treatise on minerals was the main source of the geological ideas of the Christian encyclopedist of the thirteenth century.
Ibn Sina wrote an autobiography which was completed by his favorite disciple al-Juzajani.
His triumph was too complete; it discouraged original investigations and sterilized intellectual life. Like Aristotle and Vergil, Avicenna was considered by the people of later times as a magician.

1038: The word for Christmas in late Old English is Cristes Maesse, the Mass of Christ, first found in 1038, and Cristes-messe, in 1131. In Dutch it is Kerstmis, in Latin Dies Natalis, whence comes the French Noël, and Italian Il natale; in German Weihnachtsfest, from the preceeding sacred vigil. The term Yule is of disputed origin. It is unconnected with any word meaning "wheel". The name in Anglo-Saxon was geol, feast: geola, the name of a month (cf. Icelandic iol a feast in December).[7]

May 29, 1108: The forces of the Muslim Almoravids under Tamim ibn-Yusuf defeated the Christian forces of Castile and León under Alfonso VI at the Battle of Uclésv. The battle was a disaster for the Christians who lost 30,000 men including seven high-ranking nobles and the heir-apparent, Sancho Alfónsez. The Muslims were not able to capitalize on the victory and conquer the city of Toledo. The Christians of Toledo “celebrated” their deliverance by murderously attacking the Jews and burning their homes and synagogues. Alfonso died before he could punish the murderers. Following his death, the people of Carrion followed the example of their co-religionists in Toledo and attacked the Jews in an orgy of murderous pillaging.[12]

May 29, 1167: A Roman army supporting Pope Alexander III is defeated at the Battle of Monte Porzio by the forces of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and the local princes of Tusculum and Albano. Jehiel Anav reportedly “supervised the finances of Pope Alexander.” Jeheil Anva would appear to be one in the same with Jehiel ben Jekutheil Anav who is believed to be the author of Tanya Rabbati which discusses Shabbat and the Jewish Holidays. He was related to the Italian born scholar and linguist Nathan ben Jehiel. Frederick Barbarossa would be one of the three kings to lead the Third Crusades. Unlike other Crusaders, the German Barbarossa was protective of his Jewish subjects causing “a Jewish chronicler, Ephraim be-Jacob of Bonna to write ‘Frederick defended us with all his might and enabled us to live among our enemies, so that no harmed the Jews.’”[14]

Charles II (May 29, 1630 – February 6, 1685)[c] was king of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
Charles II's father, King Charles I, was executed at Whitehall on January 30, 1649, at the climax of the English Civil War. Although the Parliament of Scotland proclaimed Charles II King of Great Britain and Ireland in Edinburgh on February 6, 1649, the English Parliament instead passed a statute that made any such proclamation unlawful. England entered the period known as the English Interregnum or the English Commonwealth, and the country was a de facto republic, led by Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell defeated Charles II at the Battle of Worcester on September 3, 1651, and Charles fled to mainland Europe. Cromwell became virtual dictator of England, Scotland and Ireland, and Charles spent the next nine years in exile in France, the United Provinces and the Spanish Netherlands.[22]
May 29, 1658: The Massachusetts General Court bans the holding of Quaker meetings in the colony.[23]
May 29, 1660: A political crisis that followed the death of Cromwell in 1658 resulted in the restoration of the monarchy, and Charles was invited to return to Britain. On May 29, 1660, his 30th birthday, he was received in London to public acclaim. After 1660, all legal documents were dated as if he had succeeded his father as king in 1649.
Charles's English parliament enacted laws known as the Clarendon Code, designed to shore up the position of the re-established Church of England. He acquiesced to the Clarendon Code even though he favoured a policy of religious tolerance. The major foreign policy issue of his early reign was the Second Anglo-Dutch War. In 1670, he entered into the secret treaty of Dover, an alliance with his first cousin King Louis XIV of France. Louis agreed to aid Charles in the Third Anglo-Dutch War and pay Charles a pension, and Charles secretly promised to convert to Catholicism at an unspecified future date. Charles attempted to introduce religious freedom for Catholics and Protestant dissenters with his 1672 Royal Declaration of Indulgence, but the English Parliament forced him to withdraw it. In 1679, Titus Oates's revelations of a supposed "Popish Plot" sparked the Exclusion Crisis when it was revealed that Charles's brother and heir (James, Duke of York) was a Catholic. The crisis saw the birth of the pro-exclusion Whig and anti-exclusion Tory parties. Charles sided with the Tories, and, following the discovery of the Rye House Plot to murder Charles and James in 1683, some Whig leaders were killed or forced into exile. Charles dissolved the English Parliament in 1681, and ruled alone until his death on February 6, 1685. He was received into the Catholic Church on his deathbed.
Charles II was popularly known as the Merry Monarch, in reference to both the liveliness and hedonism of his court and the general relief at the return to normality after over a decade of rule by Oliver Cromwell and the Puritans. Charles's wife, Catherine of Braganza, bore no live children, but Charles acknowledged at least twelve illegitimate children by various mistresses. As illegitimate children were excluded from the succession, he was succeeded by his brother James.[24]
He set out for England from Scheveningen, arrived in Dover on May 25, 1660 and reached London on May 29, his 30th birthday. Although Charles and Parliament granted amnesty to Cromwell's supporters in the Act of Indemnity and Oblivion, 50 people were specifically excluded.[19] In the end nine of the regicides were executed:[20] they were hanged, drawn and quartered; others were given life imprisonment or simply excluded from office for life. The bodies of Oliver Cromwell, Henry Ireton and John Bradshaw were subjected to the indignity of posthumous decapitations.[21]
Charles agreed to give up feudal dues that had been revived by his father; in return, the English Parliament granted him an annual income to run the government of £1.2 million, generated largely from customs and excise duties. The grant, however, proved to be insufficient for most of Charles's reign. The sum was only an indication of the maximum the King was allowed to withdraw from the Treasury each year; for the most part, the actual revenue was much lower, which led to mounting debts, and further attempts to raise money through poll taxes, land taxes and hearth taxes.[25]
May 29: The anniversary of the Restoration (which was also Charles's birthday)—May 29,—was recognised in England until the mid-nineteenth century as Oak Apple Day, after the Royal Oak in which Charles hid during his escape from the forces of Oliver Cromwell. Traditional celebrations involved the wearing of oak leaves but these have now died out.[74] Charles II is commemorated by statues in London's Soho Square,[75] in Edinburgh's Parliament Square, in Three Cocks Lane in Gloucester,[76] and near the south portal of Lichfield Cathedral, and is depicted extensively in literature and other media. Charleston, South Carolina, is named after him.[26]

May 29, 1686: Jews of New Amsterdam were allowed to openly practice their religion.[27]
Wednesday May 29, 1754
The twenty-one French prisoners are sent back to Williamsburg along with news of this first victory for the Virginia Regiment. However, worried that the French might attack in retaliation to the previous day's skirmish, Washington and his men spend the next five days constructing a stockade in the middle of the valley. His theory is that anyone coming to attack his men will have to come into the open meadow of the valley and then can be shot.[28]
May 29, 1754
Lieutenant Colonel George Washington’s inexperience in military tactics had become increasingly clear in the days following the victory over Jumonville. His first hope had been that the triumph would have impressed the Indians to such extent that warriors would flock to his camp in large numbers to become part of his force, but what followed was a disappointment.
Chief Monakaduto, it was true, showed up with his thirty warriors and promised to stand beside the young English commander, and even the Seneca squaw-chief known as Queen Alequippa came with her small following and vowed allegiance with him, but they were pitiful returns for such a single victory. Including the families they brought with them, the Indians numbered only one hundred fifty. Further, it meant that Washington, despite his own meager supplies, must now feed an additional hundred fifty people for the dubious advantage of having about forty warriors added to his force. No one knew better than Washington himself that now he was in trouble. With a hundred fifty inexperienced soldiers and this handful of Indians, he was facing a French force which numbered, at Fort Duquesn alone, over fourteen hundred soldiers and possibly seven hundred Indians.
The fortification built on the Great Meadows was a poor effort. It was completed in three days and yielded little real protection, but this did not keep Washington from confidently reporting that it could easily withstand the attack of an army of five hundred. He was just whistling in the dark.
His one great hope now was that Colonel Joshua Fry would soon arrive from Will’s Creek with the remainder of the Virginia Regiment. Immediately after the attack on Jumonville’s force, he had put the prisoners under strong guard and sent dispatches to Fry with urgent requests that he come soon, never doubting that he would, since Will’s Creek was only fifty-two miles away. But Joshua Fry had been thrown from his horse and suffered very serious internal injuries and his army was stalled in their camp at the Ohio Company’s trading post stronghold.
Then, on May 29, Fry had died of his injuries and this meant that George Washington — even though he did not yet know it was commander of the whole army. Christopher Gist gave the commander of the regulars, Captain Mackay, instructions to follow him and set out at once to join Washington and tell him this news. Mackay, justifiably irked that he must now be subordinate to a commander who was only twenty-two and
without military experience, moved his men almost leisurely toward the Great Meadows.[29]
May 29th, 1778
A reference on May 29, 1778 by Regimental Quartermaster Zinn in the regimental journal of the von Donop Regiment may have resulted from a rumor of a move by the Convention prisoners. Under that date he wrote, “When the news arrived that the enemy was moving the captives of General Burgoyne’s army to Virginia, and that they were already underway in the near vicinity, the entire garrison, including our regiment, received march orders. We marched to Germantown and occupied that region in the hope of attacking the enemy. However, on the same day we marched back to Philadelphia.”
Actually the prisoners began their march from the Boston area on November 9, and the HesseCassel Jaeger Corps Journal notes the Convention prisoners crossing the North River on November 29. “Upon receipt of news that the prisoners from Burgoyne’s army were to be transported from New England to Virginia, and would cross the North River at King’s Ferry, the British Grenadiers, Light Infantry, and the Mirbach Regiment marched to Tarrytown, but arrived too late; the men being transferred having crossed the North River ten hours previously. The reason these troops are being sent to Virginia is supposedly because the New Englanders reibsed to continue giving them provisions.”[30]

Shawnee Chief Black Fish is allegedly killed in a raid on his village by Colonel John Bowman. (Ref 61 gives the date of the Bowman raid as May 29th, 1779 and Blackfish's death six weeks later, in mid-July).[31]
May 29th, 1782
May 29th.—From the upper Moray. Town we took up our Line of march in four Columns agreeable to the first plan proposed and kept an easterly course to the mouth of a Creek which empties into Musk. Riv. the fording of the Creek was deep & muddy & we passed near it a dangerous Defile with the River on our right & a high Ridge on our Left. the passage very narrow. We marched from here N.W. through a Bottom for several miles, ascended the long Ridge ajimost N. & struck upon Bouquet’s Road to White Woman’s Creek, where he treated with the Indians W.B.S. We were led to this path by following a fresh indian track coming down.
In the middle of the afternoon we came to a fork of the Roads. We followed this path to our right running W. In these forks stood a painted Tree, on which an Indian of the Wolf Tribe marck’d [sic] 1 prisoner & 3 Scalps. Signs of an old indian encampment & several fresh tracks were visible. In the evening the mountains begun to look less high, fine Bottoms appeared more frequent and the tops of the Ridges seemed covered with a rich soil. We crossed this day different bad narrow Swamps.[32]
ORDERS GIVEN ON AN EXPEDITION OF VOLUNTEERS TO SANDUSKY, 1782.
May 29th, 1782 CAMP UPPER MORAVIAN TOWN N° 4
Orders May 29th 1782— Every Captain is to assign an alarm post to his company 20 or 30 yards within side of his fires; to which the company is to repair every morning before day Break—the horses are in future carefully to be kept in, by the Sentries. Col. W. Harrison is appointed Adjutant to the party & to be respected as such the whole to march immediately in 4 Columns. the playing of the fife the first time, will be a signal for loading: the second time to begin the line of march. [33]
Marshel to Irvine, May 29, 1782.)
A volunteer expedition is talked of against Sandusky, which, if well conducted, may be of great service to this country. If they behave well on this occasion, it may also, in some measure, atone for the barbarity they are charged with at Muskingum.[34] They have consulted me and shall have every countenance in my power, if their numbers, arrangements, etc., promise a prospect of success.
Another kind of expedition is also much talked of, which is to emigrate and set up a new state. This matter is carried so far as to advertise a day of general rendezvous (the 25th instant). A certain Mr. J[35]— is said to be at the head of this party. He has a form of constitution actually written by him-self for the new government. I am well informed he is now on the east side of the mountain trying to purchase or otherwise provide artillery and stores. A number of people, I really believe, have serious thoughts of this matter; but I am led to think they will not be able, at this time, to put their plan into execution.
Should they be so mad as to attempt it, I think they will either be cut to pieces or they will be obliged to take protection from and join the British. Perhaps some have this in view; though a great majority are, I think, well meaning people, who have at present no other views than to acquire large tracts of land.
As I thought a knowledge of these intentions might be useful to the executives of Pennsylvania and Virginia, the emigrants being now subjects of both states, I have written to tho I governor of Virginia on the subject also.[36]
Mr. J— has been in England since the commencement of the present war. Some people think he is too trifling to’be worthy of notice. Be this as it may, he has now many followers; and it is, I think, highly probable that more influence than he are privately at work. J—, it is said, was once in affluent circumstances — is now indigent was always open to corruption. I have no personal knowledge of the man; and have this character of him in too general terms to be able to assert it is genuine.
No considerable damage has been done by the savages since my arrival here last. The whole of killed and captured that I have any account of amounts only to six souls. I think they must be either preparing for a great stroke or.apprehensive of a visit from us.[37][38]

Marshel to Irvine
Washington County, May 29, 1782
Dear Sir: I have the honor to inform you that on Saturday last, about five hundred men[39] (including officers) set out for Sndusky, under the command of colonel [William] Crawford. A perfect harmony subsisted among officers and men, and all were in high spirits, no accident of any consequence happening either in crossing the river or during their stay at the Mingo bottom [on the west side of the Ohio].
I have not yet ascertained with exactness the number of men from the different counties, but I believe they are nearly as follows, namely; Westmoreland,[40] about one hundred and thirty; Ohio [county],[41] about twenty; and Washington,[42] three hundred and fifty. Mr. Rose, your aid-de-camp was very hearty when I left him. His services on this occasion have endeared you much to the people of this county, and given general satisfaction to the men on the expedition.
A report prevails in the coutry that Britain has acknowledged our independence. I could wish to be informed of the truth of this report. I have been asked by a Presbyterian minister and some of his people to request you t spare opne gallon of wine for the use of a sacrament. If it is in your power to supply them with this article, I make no doubt you will do it, as it cannot be obtained in any other place in this country. Mr. Douglass or the bearer will apply for it.[43][44]

John Crawford sold to Noble Grimes, on May 29, 1786, one negro wench named Lucy, for 32 pounds, 5 shillings, 6 pence.[45]
John Crawford sold 365 acres, called “Crawford’s Delight” on the Youghiogheny River, to Edward Cook. [46]
May 29, 1790: Rhode Island becomes the thirteenth state to ratify the Constitution[47] and is admitted as the 13th U.S. state. According to Rufus Learsi, at the outbreak of the American Revolution Rhode Island was one of only five the original thirteen colonies to have had an organized Jewish community. Newport reportedly had 1,200 Jewish habits, half the Jews living in all of the thirteen colonies at that time. Congregation Jeshuat Israel (Salvation of Israel) had erected its own synagogue and Rabbi Isaac Touro was so well known that he was visited by rabbis from Europe and Eretz Israel including Raphael Cahim Isaac Corregal from Hebron who formed a lasting friendship with Pastor Ezra Stiles, President of Yale. Newport may be best remembered for the famous letter that President Washington wrote to the Jews of Newport in 1790 in which he endorsed the full participation of the Jewish people in all aspects of American life. Unfortunately, the Newport Jewish community had already lost its dominant role. The British occupation during the American Revolution had marked the beginning of the end of the commercial primacy of Newport and many of the Jews who had fled during the occupation simply did not return. The loss of prominence of the Jewish community is highlighted by the fact that the state of Rhode Island did not get around to removing religious tests for office until 1842.[48]

Job Kirby, son of William Kirby, was born in 1816, and came to America with his mother in 1849. He was unmarried, and when the Civil War broke out, he enlisted in a New York State regiment (Company G, 104th Regiment, New York Volunteers), and went to the front. After one year of service he was taken prisoner by Confederates. He was paroled, but his patriotism led him back into the army and he was taken prisoner a second time. He was held in a stockade at Saulsbury, North Carolina, where from exposure and neglect he died and was buried February 1, 1865, aged forty-eight years. [52]

In her last days no doubt Caty would have reminisced her own childhood with her grandchildren. She may have told them about moving by covered wagon from Cynthiana, Kentucky, the crossing of the Ohio River and the Mad River over 100 small streams in the year 1803. She might have told them about her father planting the first orchard in the area and starting the Methodist Episcopal Church of the area in their home. She may have told them about the nine companies of militia that used the McKinnon land as their usual drill ground and that one of these was commanded by Captain McCord for whom Conrad had served as a Sergeant. (Ref#7 & #9) Caty might have explained how she had met Conrad and what it would have been like “back in those good ole days” of 1819.[53]

The 6th Viscount Strangford.
Percy Clinton Sydney Smythe, 6th Viscount Strangford, GCB, GCH (31 Aug 1780–29 May 1855) was an Anglo-Irish diplomat.
Personal life [edit]
He was the son of Lionel Smythe, 5th Viscount Strangford and Mary Eliza Philipse.
He was educated at Harrow and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin in 1800, entered the diplomatic service, and in the following year succeeded to the title of Viscount Strangford in the Peerage of Ireland. In 1817, he married Ellen, daughter of Sir Thomas Burke, Bt. They had five children.
After the death of his wife in 1826 Smythe had three children by Katherine Benham, the eldest of whom was the artist Lionel Percy Smythe.
On his death he was succeeded by his eldest son George Smythe, 7th Viscount Strangford, who was an active figure in the Young England movement of the early 1840s.
Career [edit]
He was ambassador to Portugal (1806), Sweden (1817), Ottoman Turkey (1820), and Russia (1825),[1] and translated the Rimas of Luís de Camões, and in 1825 was created Baron Penshurst, of Penshurst in the County of Kent, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, enabling him to sit in the House of Lords.[2]
In 1807, as Britain's envoy to Portugal, Lord Strangford coordinated the Portuguese royal family's flight from Portugal to Brazil.
He was made Grand Cross in the Order of the Bath (GCB) in 1815 and Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Guelphic Order (GCH) in 1825.
In February 1825 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society[3]
As ambassador to the Sublime Porte, he had opportunities to assemble fragments of Greek sculpture. Among his collection of antiquities was the "Strangford Shield", a 3rd century CE Roman marble that reproduces the shield of Athena Parthenos, Phidias' sculpture formerly in the Parthenon. The "Strangford Shield" is conserved in the British Museum.

Zebulon Baird Vance (May 13, 1830 – April 14, 1894) was a Confederate military officer in the American Civil War, the 37th and 43rd Governor of North Carolina, and U.S. Senator. A prodigious writer, Vance became one of the most influential Southern leaders of the Civil War and postbellum periods.[58]
May 29, 1842, Victoria was riding in a carriage along The Mall, London, when John Francis aimed a pistol at her but the gun did not fire; he escaped. The following day, Victoria drove the same route, though faster and with a greater escort, in a deliberate attempt to provoke Francis to take a second aim and catch him in the act. As expected, Francis shot at her, but he was seized by plain clothes policemen, and convicted of high treason.[59] Albert and Victoria were shot at again on both May 29 and 30, 1842, but were unhurt. The culprit, John Francis, was detained and condemned to death, although he was later reprieved.[42] Some of their early unpopularity came about because of their stiffness and adherence to protocol in public, though in private the couple were more easy-going.[43][60]
May 29, 1908: On the Madison site of this hospital and orphans' home a tablet was erected, the gift of the school children of the city, who attended the exercises in large numbers, and took part in the patriotic songs. An oration was delivered by Attorney-General Frank L. Gilbert, who bad himself been one of the boys reared in the home. The tablet reads: "On this city block, during the Civil War, stood Harvey Hospital, and later the Wisconsin Soldiers' Orphans' Home, both established through the influence of Mrs. Harvey, whose honored husband, Governor Louis P. Harvey. had accidentally been drowned in Tennessee River, near Shiloh battlefield, April 19, 1862, where he had gone after the battle, with supplies for the comfort of the sick and wounded Wisconsin soldiers.')
Wisconsin Women in the War, 1911
Mrs. Harvey was born December 7, 1824 in Barre, Orleans Co., New York to John Perrine and Mary Hebard. She had 3 younger sisters and 2 half-sisters. The family moved to Wisconsin in 1842 and became a prosperous farmer in the Southport (Kenosha) area. She was teaching school in the city when she met Mr. Harvey. They had one daughter who died in infancy.
Leaving Wisconsin, she resettled in Buffalo, New York and returned to teaching, later marrying Rev. Albert T. Chester. After his death, she returned to Wisconsin and taught classes in Congregational Sunday School in Ft. Atkinson. One of her students remembered her as "a little woman with a sweet face.... a loving personality, quick, keen & jolly." She spent her remaining years in Clinton, Rock County, in the home she had shared with the governor and died there February 27, 1895 at age 70. She is buried in Forest Hills Cemetery in Madison with the governor.
The brief biography I was able to locate indicated the Clinton location for Mrs. Harvey's declining years. We have been lucky to be contacted by Rev. Kenneth L. Schaub of Lodi, WI, who is descended from one of her sisters and relates that Mrs. Harvey returned to Rock County, but to the home of his ancestors, the Bensons,outside of Clinton, her home in Shopiere with Louis having been abandoned when they moved to Madison.

1992: Mujahadeen guerillas and other Islamic rebels captured the capital city of Kabul and set up a new government. [67]
Over the next few years, rival groups fought each other for control. Civil war spread throughout the country. A new group arose, called the Taliban, a name that means “religious student.” The Taliban consisted of devout Islamic guerilla fighters and refugees returning from Pakistan. Many had studied at the Medrasas, or religious schools on the Pakistani border.[68]
May 29, 2004: Honoring Howard Snell For His Service and Dedication to Our Country
By:Ralph Hall
Date: July 22, 2004
Location: Washington, DC
HONORING HOWARD SNELL FOR HIS SERVICE AND DEDICATION TO OUR COUNTRY -- (Extensions of Remarks - July 22, 2004)
Mr. HALL. Mr. Speaker, I am honored today to recognize an outstanding veteran of World War II who dedicated much of his life in service to our country-Howard Snell of Tyler.
Mr. Snell devoted 21 years to service in the U.S. Navy, moving through the ranks from cook to chief sonar technician. During that time, he engaged in 17 World War II battles, including the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor and the monumental showdown at Midway.
Now at the age of 81, Mr. Snell has found himself in the middle of another battle-with cancer. Yet in a display of his trademark determination, Mr. Snell was one of the proud veterans present at the May 29 dedication of the National World War II Memorial in Washington. He postponed his first round of chemotherapy so that he could attend the ceremony, fearing that starting the treatment before his trip would cause him to miss the dedication-and that was simply not an option for this World War II veteran who serves as an official of the national Survivors of Pearl Harbor Association.
Throughout his life, Mr. Snell has upheld the high standards of conduct befitting a soldier and a gentleman. As we adjourn today, it is my privilege to recognize such an outstanding American and veteran-Mr. Howard Snell-and wish him well as he fights another of life's battles.[69]

[34] That any of~those favoring the scheme had intentions of taking protection from, and joining the British, is possible but very doubtful; that some engaged in the movement were stimulated by prospects of preferment, is probable; but that a great majority had, as Irvine expresses it, “no other views than to acquire large tracts of land,” or, perhaps, of obtaining cheap lands, is quite certain.
[35] Thomas Jefferson
[36] The expedition here spoken of is the one which marched against Sandusky under Col. Wm. Crawford. It has been supposei by some, owing to the loose wording of the paragraph, that the same men who took part in Williamson’s expedition were also those who afterward marched against San-dusky; but Williamson’s men, as we have seen, numbered only about one hundred who crossed the Ohio, and were exclusively of Washington county militia (ante, p.236, note 1); while the volunteers against Sandusky numbered four hundred and sixty-eight and were from Washington and Westmorelan& counties, Pennsylvania, and from Ohio county, Virginia. (See Appendix J,—:
[37] There is another copy, evidently the first draft of this letter, extant, in the handwriting of Irvine, which is differently arranged and somewhat differently worded from the above.
[38] Washington-Irving Correspondence, by Butterfield.
[39] The number which actually marched was four hundred and sixty-eight, but a few of these returned before reaching the Tuscarawas.
[40]Mostly from that part which afterward became Fayette county, Pennsylvania.
[41] Ohio county, Virginia, included, at this date, the whole of the territory now in West Virginia known as “the Pan-handle,” and a considerable area to the south of it.
[42] Washington county, Pennsylvania, in 1782, was bounded north by the Ohio river, east by the Monongahela, south and west by Virginia. All of Pennsylvania west of the Laurel Hill not included within those boundaries constituted Westmoreland county, at that date; but Fayette county was formed from the latter the next year.
[43] No doubt the wine was sent if the general had it to spare. He was exceedingly accommodating to the country people as well as to the citizens of Pittsburgh. His watchful care over the rights of the latter, when in the least intruded upon by the soldiery.
[44] Washington-Irvine Correspondence, by Butterfield, pages 289-290.
[45] Item 334, Book A, page 107. Before his departure, John sold items, both in real estate and tangible goods, including his negro help and his live stock. The records may be found in the Recorder of Deeds Office, in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. (Uniontown).
[46] In all probability, this was John’s place of residence and no doubt where he and his first wife, Frances Bradford, and their two little son’s lived; where John and his second wife, Effie Grimes, lived, with their son William.
