May 8, 589: Reccared summoned the Third Council of Toledo. Reccared or Recared I was Visigoth King of Hispania (think modern day Spain). His reign marked a climactic shift in history, with the king's renunciation of traditional Aryanism in favor of Catholic Christianity in 587. He was a favorite of Pope Gregory for submitting to the papal see and for promulgating an edict of intolerance that included limiting the freedom and daily activities of the Jewish community. He zealously followed the promulgations of the Council of Toledo which included “restrictions on Jews, and the conversion of the country to orthodox Christianity led to repeated persecutions of Jews.” Of the 23 cannons adopted by the Council of Toledo, the fourteenth canon “forbade Jews to have Christian wives, concubines, or slaves, ordered the children of such unions to be baptized, and disqualified Jews from any office in which they might have to punish Christians. Christian slaves whom they had circumcised, or made to share in their rites, were ipso facto freed.”[1]
AD 590 – 604 Pope Gregory I (the Great) identifies Sabbath keepers with the antichrist
[p. 92] Gregory, servant of the servants of God, to his most beloved sons the Roman citizens. It has come to my ears that certain men of perverse spirit have sown among you some things that are wrong and opposed to the holy faith, so as to forbid any work being done on the Sabbath day. What else can I call these but preachers of Antichrist, who, when he comes, will cause the Sabbath day as well as the Lord’s day to be kept free from all work. For, because he pretends to die and rise again, he wishes the Lord’s day to be had in reverence; and, because he compels the people to judaize that he may bring back the outward rite of the law, and subject the perfidy of the Jews to himself, he wishes the Sabbath to be observed.[19] [2]
May 8, 1147: Encouraged by Peter the Hermit, a mob attacked the Jews on the second day of Shavuot in Ramerupt, France. Rabbenu Tam was one of its victims. After being stabbed five times (to match the five wounds of Jesus) he was saved by a passing knight. His house was ransacked, and a Torah scroll was destroyed.[3]
In 1148 the Crusader forces were crushed outside the walls of Damascus, turning the Second Crusade into a total disaster and emboldening the forces of Islam further in their quest for the reconquest of Palestine.[4] Louis VII and Conrad meet on Crusade in Jerusalem, Matilda leaves England for last time. [5]
Louis VII is the husband of the 24th great grandmother and Matilda is the 25th great grandmother of Jeffery Lee Goodlove.
May 8, 1492: The first printed edition of Mishnayot with commentary by Maimonides was published in Naples. The term Mishnayot is plural form of the word Mishna, which part of the Oral Law. By appearing in printed form, the commentaries of one of Judaism greatest teachers on one of its core text was available to what today we would be called, "the mass market."[6]
May 8th, 1521 - Parliament of Worms installs edict against Marten Luther[7]
May 8, 1559: The House of Commons backed the proposals strongly, but the bill of supremacy met opposition in the House of Lords, particularly from the bishops. Elizabeth was fortunate that many bishoprics were vacant at the time, including the Archbishopric of Canterbury.[48][49] This enabled supporters amongst peers to outvote the bishops and conservative peers. Nevertheless, Elizabeth was forced to accept the title of Supreme Governor of the Church of England rather than the more contentious title of Supreme Head, which many thought unacceptable for a woman to bear. The new Act of Supremacy became law on May 8, 1559. All public officials were to swear an oath of loyalty to the monarch as the supreme governor or risk disqualification from office; the heresy laws were repealed, to avoid a repeat of the persecution of dissenters practised by Mary. At the same time, a new Act of Uniformity was passed, which made attendance at church and the use of an adapted version of the 1552 Book of Common Prayer compulsory, though the penalties for recusancy, or failure to attend and conform, were not extreme.[50] [8]

No. 24.—CRAWFORD[12] TO WASHINGTON.
May 8, 1774.
SIR :—Inclosed you have the drafts of the Round Bottom and your Chartier’s land, finished agreeable to Mr. Lewis’s direction. [13] I should have sent them from Stanton, but Mr. Lewis had set out for Cheat river before I got there, and I wanted him to see the returns before I sent them to you. I was still disappointed, as before I could return back again Mr. Lewis started for home, and I understand he will be in Williamsburgh soon. If the returns do not answer, you can have them changed. If you should not choose to enter those names in the return now made for the Round Bottom, I have sent you a blank to fill up, which you may do yourself.
I suppose by this time various reports have reached you. I have given myself some trouble to acquaint myself with time truth of matters; but there are some doubts remaining as to certain facts; however, I will give you the best account I can.
The surveyors that went down the Kanawha, [14] as report goes, were stopped by the Shawanese Indians,[15] upon which some of the white people attacked some Indians and killed several, took thirty horse-loads of skins near the mouth of Scioto; on which news, and expecting an Indian war, Mr. Cresap [16] and some other people fell on some other Indians at the mouth of Pipe creek, killed three, and scalped them. Daniel Greathouse and some others fell on some at the mouth of Yellow creek [17] and killed and scalped ten, and took one child about two months old, which is now at my house. I have taken the child from a woman that it had been given to.[18] Our inhabitants are much alarmed, many hundreds having gone over the mountain, and the whole country evacuated as far as the Monongahela; and many on this side of the river are gone over the mountain. In short, a war is every moment expected. We have a council now with the Indians. What will be the event I do not know.[19]
I am now setting out from Fort Pitt at the head of one hundred men. - Many others are to meet me there and at Wheeling, where we shall wait the motions of the Indians, and shall act accordingly. [20] We are in great want of some proper person to direct us, who may have command,—Mr. Connolly, who now commands, having incurred the displeasure of the people. He is unable to take command for two reasons: one is, the contradiction between us and the Pennsylvanians; and the other that he carries matters too much in a military way, and is not able to go through with it. I have some hopes that we may still have matters settled with the Indians upon a method properly adopted for that purpose.
It seems that they say they have not been paid anything for their land—I mean the Shawanese and Delaware’s. The Six Nations say they have no right to any of ‘the money, the land not being their property. I do not mean to say anything against Mr. Connolly’s conduct, only he cannot carry things on as he could wish, as he is not well acquainted with the nature of the people he has to deal with. Fair means would-do better, and he could get anything he wanted more readily.
In case of a war, much dependence from this place lies on you, Sir, as being well acquainted with our circumstances. Should matters be settled with the Indians soon, I suppose you will proceed on with the improvement of your lands; if not, you will discharge your people, and of course your servants will be - sold. In that case, I should be glad to take two of them, if you are willing. In a few days you will be better advised, and then you will be more able to determine on matters. I am, &c.[21]
May 8, 1774
The beginning of Justice Crawford’s defection appears outwardly when accepted a commission as captain from Lord Dunmore about May 8, 1774, and set out for Fort Pitt at the head of one hundred men, recruited in his neighborhood. He was to meet other detachments there and proceed to Fort Henry at Wheeling to fight Indians. His ardent love of adventure, and his growing sympathy with his native Virginia, overwhelmed his former Pennsylvania loyalty.[22]
May 8,1781 Colonel William Crawford resigns his position in the Army. He sat as Justice for Youghiogheny Co., VA.
February 5, Colonel William Crawford was to attend meetings on February 5 and May 8. He did not attend.[23]
May 8, 1782: Morgantown record, Book 1, 1780-1830, the dates of Feb. 5th and May 8th 1782, Col. William Crawford was scheduled to attend, but did not appear. Many times the author has wondered about the reason William Crawford, which kept him away from this meeting on these two given dates. (1782 was the year of the Ohio Sandusky Expedition, on which Col. Crawford was killed). Had he lived, he would have been a very rich man.[24]
“PITTSBURGH, May 8th, 1782.
“Dear Sir:— I arrived at home last Thursday, without any particular accident. Yesterday I came to this place; have had a long conference with General Irvine and Colonel Gibson, on the subject of public matters, particularly respecting the late excursion to Kushocton [the Tuscarawas]. That affair [killing the Moravian Indians] is a subject of great speculation here, some condemning, others applauding the measure; but the accounts are so various that it is not only difficult, but almost, indeed entirely impossible to ascertain the real truth. No person can give intelligence but those that were along; and, notwithstanding there seems to have been some difference amongst themselves about that business, yet they will say nothing; but this far I believe may be depended on, that they killed rather deliberately the innocent with the guilty, and it is likely the majority was the former. I have heard it insinuated that about thirty or forty only of the party gave their consent or assisted in the catastrophe. . .
“It is said here, and I believe with truth, that sundry articles were found amongst the [Moravian] Indians that were taken from the inhabitants of Washington county, and that the [Moravian] Indians confessed themselves that, when they set out from St. Duskie [Sandusky], ten warriors came with them,who had went into the settlements, and that four of them were then in the [Moravian] towns, who had returned. If those [Moravian] Indians that were killed were really friends, they must have been very imprudent to return and settle at a place they knew the whites had been at, and would go to again, without giving us notice and, besides, to bring warriors with them, who had come into the settlements, and after murdering would return to their towns and of course draw people after them, filled with revenge, indignation, and sorrow for the loss of their friends, their wives, and their children. .

May 8, 1785: Congress passes the Land Ordinance of 1785, calling for the northwestern territories to be divided into six mile square townships.[26]
To THOMAS FREEMAN
Mount Vernon, May 8, 1786.
Sir: Being informed that Mrs. Crawford is on the point of having her negroes sold to discharge a Debt due from her late husband, Col. Crawford, to Mr. James Cleveland, for whom you are Agent; I will, rather than such an event shall take place, agree to apply any money of mine, which may be in your hands, towards the discharge of the execution; and desire, in that case, you will receive such security as Mrs. Crawford can give for reimbursing me. I am, etc.[27]

To THOMAS SMITH
May 8, 1786.
Sir: Vale. Crawford died indebted to me, say £100 Virga. Curry., more or less, previously thereto he wrote me the letter dated Jacobs Creek May the 6th. 1774, and accompanied it with the Bill of sale herewith enclosed, dated May 8th.
1774. Query. Is this Bill now valid? Will it secure my Debt? this is all I want. And can it be recovered without my hazarding a defeat; which may add cost without benefit.
If these points are determined in the affirmative, I would endeavour to secure my Debt under the cover of the bill, and desire that you would prosecute my claim accordingly, but not otherwise. With great esteem, I am, etc.[29]
May 8, 1792: The Second Militia Act provided for organizing state militias.[30] Congress passes the Militia Act, allowing the states to draft able bodied men to counter Indian hostilities.[31]

May 8, 1921: Elections were then held, and of the four candidates running for the office of Mufti, al-Husseini received the least number of votes, the first three being Nashashibi candidates. Nevertheless, Samuel was anxious to keep a balance between the al-Husseinis and their rival clan the Nashashibis.[28] A year earlier the British had replaced Musa al-Husayni as Mayor of Jerusalem with Ragheb al-Nashashibi. They then moved to secure for the Husseini clan a compensatory function of prestige by appointing one of them to the position of mufti, and, with the support of Ragheb al-Nashashibi and Sheikh Hussam Jārallāh, prevailing upon the Nashashibi front-runner, Sheikh Hussam ad-Din Jarallah, to withdraw. This automatically promoted Amin al-Husseini to third position, which, under Ottoman law, allowed him to qualify, and Samuel then chose him as Mufti.[29] His initial appointment was as Mufti, but when the Supreme Muslim Council was created in the following year, Husseini demanded and received the title Grand Mufti that had earlier been created, perhaps on the lines of Egyptian usage,[30] by the British for his half-brother Kamil.[31][32][33] The position came with a life tenure.[34][40]

Good luck with your research,

Furthermore, one has to assume on the ground of strong evidence that Isaak had a brother named Salomon, who shared the fate of the novice with him and is identical with the Freiburg city physician Heinrich Gutleben. The history of the nature of medicine in medieval Freiburg in Breisau has been examined extensively by Ulrich Knefelkamp. A physician named Heinrich Gutleben is nowhere mentioned by him, which is not the case with Theodor Nordmann. Instead, Knefelkamp makes the following observations which are important in our context: “In the beginning of the 15th century Master Heinrich the ‘physician’ is noted in the year 1409…[48]

Hello,
Just a note about the Cohen Model Haplotype and the GodLove name. I don't know if you have seen this link before. from;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Nebo_(Jordan)
Mount Nebo is where Moses is buried. Find the term "God Is Love" on that page It looks like there is an inscription on the mountain in Greek saying that.
Just thought I would mention that since coincidentily, your name incorporates that exact term.

[11] Letter to Washington and Accompanying Papers, by Stanislaus Murray Hamilton VOL IV pgs 196-198
[12] One of the most interesting characters of the Hannastown Court was the intrepid Justice William Crawford. He was a native Virginian, and followed surveing. During the Forbes expedition of 1758 he was a captain of Viginia soldiers. He next appears in this area in 1767, when he settled on the western bank of the Youghiogheny at Stewart’s Crossings. So far as the court records are concerned, his allegiance to the Penn government is quite apparent. He was Washington’s land agent, and dealt with Pennsylvania for titles to the lands along the Youghiogheny and elsewhere. The Penns rewarded him with their confidence by commissioning him as a justice in the courts at Carlisle in 1770, and Bedford in 1771, and at Hannastown in 1773. His defection began in 1773 and continued into 1774, even while he was a member of the court at Hannastown. One wonders just how much of an impression Lord Dunmore made on Justice Crawford on that visit in 1773. Dr. John Connolly, Dunmore’s agent, visited him in 1773 and 1774, and he unquestionably heard about the designs of Virginia.
Annals of Southwestern Pennsylviania by Lewis Clark Walkinshaw, A. M. Volume II pg. 60.
[13] Thomas Lewis, surveyor of Augusta county, Virginia. During the year 1774, Crawford surveyed and returned to his office 4,153 acres for different persons.
[14] [From the Maryland Gazette, March 10, 1774.]
“FINCASTLE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, January 27, 1774.
“Notice is hereby given to the gentlemen, officers, and soldiers, who claim land under his Majesty’s proclamation of the 7th of October, 1763, who have obtained warrants from his Excellency the right Honorable the Earl of Dunniore, directed to the surveyor of Fincastle county, and intend to locate their land on or near the Ohio, below the mouth of the Great Kanawha or New river, that several assistant surveyors will attend at the mouth of the New river on Thursday, the 14th of April next, to survey, for such only as have or may obtain his lordship’s warrant for that purpose.
“I would therefore request that the claimants or their agents will be very punctual in meeting at the time and place above mentioned, properly provided with chain-carriers and otimer necessaries, to proceed on the business without delay. Several gentlemen acquainted with that part of the country are of’ the opinion that to prevent insults from strolling parties of Indians, there ought to be at least fifty men on the river below time Great Kanawha to attend to the business as the gentlemen present may judge most proper until it is done, or the season prevent them from surveying any more. Should the gentlemen concerned be of the same opinion, they will, doubtless, furnish that or any less number they may believe necessary. It is hoped the officers or their agents who may have land surveyed, particularly such as do not reside in the colonies, will be careful to send the surveying fee when the certificates are demanded.
“WILLIAM PRESTON, Surveyor of Fincastle County.’’
[15] This first overt act was one of the proximate causes only which brought on, in a short time thereafter, a bloody conflict—a contest known in history as Lord Dunmore’s War. A remote cause was the general antagonism of the red and white races, now being brought continually nearer to each other, as the tide of emigration broke through the Alleghenies and rolled down in a continuous flow upon the valley of the Ohio.
[16] Michael Cresap, a native of Maryland, and a resident of Old Town, which was, at that date, generally known as “ Cresap’s,” and is so marked on some of the old maps;—” Mr. Cresap and some other people were looking out for themselves locations of land upon time Ohio at time. -
[17] Yellow creek, a tributary of the Ohio, flowing into that stream on the right, fifty-five miles by course of the river below Pittsburgh. The words of Crawford should have been, ‘opposite the mouth of Yellow creek.”
[18] This occurrence took place on the 30th of April, 1774. It was then that Logan, the Mingo chief, lost his relatives—mother, brother, and sister; not, however, by “Colonel Cresap,” as, in his immortal speech, he pathetically charges, but at the hands of the party of Daniel Greathouse, as stated by Crawford.
[19] This council was held at Pittsburgh, at the advice of Mr. Croghan. On the side of the Indians were several chiefs of the Delaware’s and the Deputy of the Six Nations (Gayasutha), with eight others of the Seneca tribe. These gave the Pennsylvanians the strongest assurances that they wished for nothing more than to continue in peace with Pennsylvania. But the wrath of Logan, the Mingo chief, was kindled against the Virginians, and could not be assuaged with -words. He must “glut his vengeance uponthe Long Knives.”
[20] Pennsylvania was exceedingly solicitous for peace; but Virginia determined to punish the Mingoes and Shawanese. Now that Crawford’s ardent love of adventure, and sympathy with his native province got the better of his Pennsylvania loyalty, he accepted a captain’s commission from Dunmore, and, at the head of one hundred men, proceeded down the Ohio, to watch “the motions of the Indians the Mingoes and Shawnese.

[28] Whether or not this was carried out according to George Washington’s instructions, is not known. Aparently he had a deep respect for his dead comrade and would rather Col. Crawford’s widow owe him a debt, rather than have her owe one to any one else. Washinton gives the idea, that if widow Crawford owed him rather than James Cleveland, she would be far better off. Washington, a successful business man, knew a debtor’s life was most severe in those days and he was reluctant to see Col. Crawford’s widow suffer at the hands of James Cleveland.

[35] By May 8th the river had risen enough to allow three of the lighter draft boats, the tin clad fort Hindman and the broad bottomed Monitor’s, Osage and Neosha, to pass the upper falls and take station just above the dam awaiting the further rise that would enable them to make their run. That would not take long apparently for now that the dam was finished and the rubble laden barges sunk, to plug the gap between the wings, the river was rising so swiftly that it deepened more than a foot between sunset and midnight increasing the midstream depth to a full six feet. “Another foot would do it” the engineers said. As the depth increased however, so did the speed of the current and the resultant pressure of the dam which mounted in ratio to both. Bank’s for one began to fear that the whole affair would be swept away in short order. Arriving for inspection by the light of bonfires late that night, he sent Porter a message expressing that he hoped that the flotilla of boats would be ready to move down at a moments notice since it seemed unlikely to him that the dam, already trembling under the weight of all that water, could survive past dawn.
