June 7, 1703
Christopher Smith's occupation prior to his appointment at Wm & Mary in 1716 has always been somewhat of a mystery. The answer may lie in his second marriage to Lydia Broadribb which seems an improbable match given their age. William Broadribb's will notes: “Excepting the land whereon the Schoole house now standeth with half an Acre of Land & fire wood of [mutilated] my Land I do give for the use of a Schoole for ever” Will of William Broadribb, 7 Jun 1703. This opens the possibility that Christopher was the master at Broadribb's school. Some background on colonial Virginia schools and teachers follows:
“Beverley, who wrote in 1703, says: " There are large tracts of land, houses and other things granted to free schools for the education of children in many parts of the country, and some of these are so large that of themselves they are a handsome maintenance to a master; but the additional allowance which gentlemen give with their sons render them a comfortable subsistence. These schools have been founded by the legacies of well-inclined gentlemen, and the management of them hath commonly been left to the direction of the county court, or the vestry of their respective parishes." After this time we learn of many such schools in the county records, the most interesting being Mrs. Mary Whaley's free school in York County, established in 1706, and William Broadrib's in James City County, established about the same time.” Williamsburg The Old Colonial Capital by Lyon Gardiner.
“The justices' intervention in this instance was only in conformity with the general supervision which they and their fellows exercised over all the schoolmasters. The county records show that the county court very frequently recommended to the Governor particular teachers whom they thought fully entitled to receive the license required; for instance, in 1699, the justices of Elizabeth City requested that officer to confer on Stephen Lylly the right to teach; and the same year they apparently made a similar request in Charles Goring's behalf. The latter was declared to be competent to instruct youth in reading, writing, and arithmetic; the former in writing and the English tongue. It would seem that at this time (and this was also probably the case at earlier periods) the first step on a pedagogue's part towards opening a school was to petition the county court to obtain the necessary license from the Governor; and in order to justify the court in doing this, the applicant had to give proofs ' of his learning . The justices practically decided whether he should or should not be allowed to become a teacher, for if they found him incapable, they simply declined to recommend him to the Governor; and when they refused to recommend any one, it is not probable that that official bestowed the license in opposition to their decision. Indeed, the granting of licenses was a purely formal act on the Governor's part, as he, being called upon to make so many appointments of schoolmasters, was compelled to be guided by the recommendations of the county courts. Every county court in Virginia was, about 1699, required to return to the Council Office at Jamestown a list of all the schools situated in its own jurisdiction; and also a statement as to whether the persons fill1ng the position of teacher had obtained licenses or not. Should it be found that some were following this calling without having secured the necessary certificate, then they were to be granted such certificate without any charge, should an examination of their qualifications prove them to be fit and capable; it was evidently the desire of the authorities from whom this order came that the advantage of retaining competent teachers, already busily occupied with their duties, should not be jeoparded by the imposition of any fee.” Institutional History of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century by Phillip Alexander Bruce.

The Spanish are repulsed by the English in the Battle of Bloody Marsh off the coast of Georgia, during the War of Jenkins’ Ear.[11]
June 7, 1767: In August 7, 1766 Catherine Lanham, administratrix, officially verifies the will of Edward Lanham er
late husband(50). In late March or early April 1767, the final accounting of Edward Lanham's estate
was made by Daniel and Catherine McKinnon(51 52). St John's parish register shows Daniel, son of
Daniel and Catharine McKinnon was (born April 19, 1767) baptized June 7, 1767(53). These finding
when taken together indicate Daniel re-married and his second wife was Catherine Lanham.
In 1768 Daniel appears to have again returned to England and was ordained by the Bishop of London
in 1768(54). Hardly something that would have been done if Daniel had been divorced. Thus it suggests
that Ruth may have died.
Daniel returned to Maryland in 1769 and is listed as the Minister at All Saints Parish in Frederick
County, Maryland(55).
In 1772 he is listed as the Minister at St. Margaret's Westminister (Broad Neck) Parish back in Anne
Arundel County Maryland(56). (This parish is a peninsula of land on the Chesapeake Bay between the
Severn and Magothy Rivers and near Annapolis)
The Church of England was dis-established in Maryland in 1777. According to various histories of
the colonial church, Daniel McKinnon was one of the ministers who returned to England. There is
also speculation that he died while a sea during this trip(57).
The Maryland Marriage Records show a marriage license was issued on December 9, 1777 to Daniel
McKennon and Maria Wilson(58 59). This would appear to have been the unnamed son born to Ruth and
Daniel in 1752.
It appears from the research of others that Eleanor's half-sisters and half-brother may have left
Maryland about this time. They are reported to have gone to Fayette County Pennsylvania, south of
Pittsburgh(60).
Maryland appears to have had no divorce law prior to the Constitution of 1851 and the March 1759
publication in the Maryland Gazette is considered by some as a divorce(61). It should be noted that no
other information has been located for Ruth McKinnon (wife of Daniel) in the records Anne Arundel
County or any place the McKinnon family was located after 1759.
Nothing in the above information concerning the McKinnon family would be inconsistent with the
assumption that Eleanor McKinnon and Eleanor Howard were in fact the same person. [12]
Daniel McKinnon is the 5th great grandfather of Jeffery Lee Goodlove

William Crawford is the 6th great grandfather of Jeffery Lee Goodlove.
June 7, 1776: On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, who had issued the first call for a congress of the Colony’s, introduced in the Continental Congress at Philadelphia a resolution declaring Philadelphia A RESOLUTION DECLARING :that these United Colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent States, that they are absolved from allegiance to the Britiah Crown, and thath all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved. That a plan of confederation be prepared and transmitted to the respective Colonies for their consideration and approbation.”
On July 1 and 2, Lee’s Resolution of June 7 was debated by the Congress and on the second day it was adopted unanimously 12-0 (New York not voting.)
For the next two days Jefferson’s draft was discussed, reviewed, revised, deleted., etc. The result was that the draft was unanimously adopted. (There were 86 changes, eliminating of 480 works, leaving 1,337 in final form.)
It was ordered that:
“the declatation bne authenticated and printed That the committee appointed to p;repare the declaration be sent to the several assemblies, conventions and committees, councils ofr safety, and to the several commanding officers of the continental troops, that it be proclaimed tn in each of the United States, and at the head of the army.”
Only 19 of the broadsides are known to have survived , in whole or in partr.[16]
[June 7, 1782—Friday]
With a start, Col. Crawford awoke in the darkness. A glance at the moon and stars showed him that dawn was not far off. So exhausted had he and the five others been from the attle, the flight and the lack of sleep that, shortly after settling down to await nightfall yesterday, they had all fallen into a deep slumber. Now, mentally cursing himself over the loss of valuable travel time under the cover of darkness, the commander quickly awakened the others and, cautioning them to silence-especially the four who had joined them, since their voices had announced their approach before they were seen—he now led them eastward.
As they strode along single file in the predawn darkness, they crossed a stream running southwest, which Crawford accurately assumed was the headwaters of the Sandusky River.[17] Immediately after the crossing they came to a well—traveled trail that, in the poor light, they mistook for the trail they had followed on the way to reach the Sandusky villages. Convinced that the army they were endeavoring to rejoin could not be very far ahead, they followed it at increased speed, congratulating themselves on their success thus far in their escape.
They were a bit premature. The trail was not, in fact, the one that they had followed on the way out but was, instead, the main Indian trail from the upper Sandusky villages to the village of the powerful Delaware chief who had been so prominent at the battle, Wingenund. However, so convinced were they that they could only be a short distance behind the army that, as dawn lightened the eastern horizon, they put aside their plan to go into hiding during the daylight hours and continued following the trail. The morning grew brighter, and the air soon was vibrant with the cheerful sound of meadowlarks and robins and other songbirds greeting the new day with their territorial warblings. For over half an hour the men followed the trail as the day gradually became brighter.
It was close to sunrise when Crawford, becoming progressively more concerned, came to the conclusion that the trail they were following was not, in fact, the one by which they had arrived. It was not quite so broad as that one, and, equally disconcerting now that they could see the ground clearly, there was no evidence that the main army had passed this way. In a low voice Col. Crawford made known his growing fears to the others, cautioned them to be especially on the alert and began looking for a place where they could go into hiding for the day.
It was already too late for that. A dozen of Wingenund’s warriors, themselves unseen, had glimpsed the six men approaching and instantly realized they were Americans, even though they were walking in single file as the Indians habitually traveled. The Delawares quickly took up a position in hiding near the edge of a fairly open woodland to waylay and capture them.
Crawford and his men had already decided to hole up for the day in that very woods, and they came to it without pause, wholly unsuspecting of any trouble until the Delawares leaped into view with leveled guns and ordered them to throw down their weapons and surrender. Instantly assessing the situation, the colonel, who was in the lead and most vulnerable, obeyed the command, but behind him the reaction was different.
“Scatter!” Capt. Biggs shouted, and the five men behind Crawford plunged off the trail and into the woods like startled deer. Dr. Knight treed behind a large oak nearby, but the other four kept going, running at top speed and staying fairly close together. The surgeon snapped off a shot at the leader of the Indians but missed in his haste.
“Stop shooting!” Crawford called. “It’s no good. Throw down your gun and surrender, or they’ll kill you.”
Dr. Knight, on the verge of being killed by the Indians, tossed his weapon to the
ground and emerged from behind the tree with his hands raised. The leader of the Indians, a tall, well-built young man, gave an order and the gun was snatched up at once. The surgeon was brought back to the trail. At the same time half the warriors raced off in pursuit of the four whites who had escaped.[18]
The leader of the six remaining Delaware’s recognized Col. Crawford and stepped forward and took his hand. The colonel breathed a little easier, taking this as a demonstration of friendship. It was not; rather, it was a public avowal to the other warriors that, as the leader, this warrior was claiming the capture of Col. William Crawford, knowing that when word of it spread, he would receive much acclaim as the captor of their dreaded enemy.
Crawford and Knight, with two warriors ahead of them and four behind, were now taken the remaining short distance to Wingenund’s Village and confined with nine other soldiers already being held prisoner there, all of whom were greatly heartened at seeing their commander.[19] Crawford immediately asked to see Wingenund, whom he knew well from that chief’s numerous visits to Fort Pitt in the past. They had become more than mere acquaintances, and once, in fact, Wingenund had even stayed overnight as a guest in Crawford’s house.
In a short while Wingenund appeared and shook hands with Crawford, but his expression was grim, his demeanor cold.
“Don’t you remember me, Wingenund?” Crawford asked.
“I remember you well, Crawford.”
“Do you remember that we were friends?”
“Yes, I remember all this and that we have often drunk together and that you have been kind to me.”
“Then I would hope,” Crawford said earnestly, “the same friendship still continues.”
“We would still be friends if you were in your proper place and not here.”
“What do you mean by that, Wingenund? I hope you would not desert a friend in time of need. Now is the time for you to exert yourself in my behalf, as I would do for you if you were in my place.”
Wingenund shook his head and made a slashing gesture with one hand. “No! You have placed yourself in a position where your former friends cannot help you.”
“And how have I done that? Friends are friends, and they should always help one another.”
“There is the matter,” Wingenund said slowly, “of the cruel murder of some of my people who had become Moravians, who would not fight and whose only business was praying. The Delawares—and the Wyandots and Shawnees, too—are very angry for what happened and are crying aloud for revenge.”
Crawford nodded. “Your anger and theirs is justified. I myself thought those murders were despicable, and I spoke out strongly against those who committed them. I had no part in them. I, and other friends of yours and all other good men, oppose such acts.”
“That may be. I believe it. I have always felt that you are a good man, Colonel Crawford. Yet you and these friends and other good men did not prevent him from going out again to kill the remainder of those inoffensive yet foolish Moravian Indians. I say foolish,” Wingenund added, “because they believed the whites in preference to us. We had often told them that they would one day be so treated by those people who called themselves their friends. We told them there was no faith to be placed in what the white men said; that their fair promises were only intended to allure, in order that they might more easily kill us, as they have done many Indians before they killed those Moravians.”
His surge of optimism oozing away, Crawford shook his head. “I am sorry to hear you say that, Wingenund. As for Williamson’s going out again, when it was known he was determined on it, I went out with him to prevent his committing fresh murders.”
Wingenund snorted in derision. “This,” he said, a note of irritation in his voice, “the Indians would not believe, even were I to tell them so.”
“And why wouldn’t they believe it?”
“Because it would have been out of your power to prevent his doing what he pleased.”
“Out of my power?” Crawford protested. “Have any Moravians been killed or hurt since he came out?”
“None. But you went first to their town and finding it empty and deserted, you turned on the path toward us. If you had been in search of warriors only, you would not have done so. Our spies watched you closely. They saw you while you were gathering on the other side of the Ohio. They saw you cross that river. They saw you when you camped at night. They saw you turn off from the path to the Moravian town. They knew you were going out of your way. Your steps were constantly watched and you were allowed to proceed until you reached the spot where you were attacked.”
Crawford started to interject something, but Wingenund cut him off with another slashing gesture of his hand. “No! What you did, Colonel Crawford, was wrong. You departed from where you should be. You not only made no effort to punish that bad man, Colonel Williamson, now you have gone to war with him against us. Williamson was the man we wanted but unfortunately he ran off with others in the night at the whistling of our warriors’ balls, being satisfied that now he had not Moravians to deal with, but men who could fight and with such he did not want to have anything to do. Now,” he said, and here a tone of regret crept into Wingenund’s voice, “you must pay for Williamson’s crime because you have not attended to the Indian principle that as good and evil cannot dwell together in the same heart, so a good man ought not to go into evil company.”
“What will they do with me now?” Crawford asked, his voice barely a whisper.
“I say, as Williamson has escaped and they have taken you, they will take revenge on you in his stead.”
“And is there no possibility of preventing this? Can’t you somehow get me off? I promise you, Wingenund, if you can save my life, you’ll be well rewarded.”
Wingenund shook his head emphatically. “Had Wiffiamson been taken with you, I and some friends, by making use of what you have told me might, perhaps, have succeeded in saving you. But as the matter now stands, no man would dare to interfere in your behalf. The King of England himself, were he to come to this spot with all his wealth and treasure, could not do so. The blood of innocent Moravians, more than half of them women and children, cruelly and wantonly murdered, calls out for revenge. The relatives of the slain, who are among us, cry out and stand ready for revenge. The Shawnees, our grandchildren, have asked for your fellow prisoner,” he pointed at Dr. Knight, “and on him they will take revenge.” His voice rose with wrath. “All the nations connected with us cry out, revenge! Revenge! The Moravians, whom you went to destroy, having fled instead of avenging their brethren, the offense has become national and the nation itself is bound to take revenge.”
With nothing left to say, Wingenund sadly shook his head and walked away, leaving Crawford crestfallen and without hope.
Less than an hour later, the Delawares who had set out after Capt. John Biggs and his four men returned bearing five bloody scalps, two of which Crawford recognized as the hair of Biggs and Lt. Hankerson Ashby.[20]
It was just after sunset this same day that Thomas McQueen and the lieutenant and Frenchman accompanying him stopped in their flight, this time planning to get a full night’s rest, as much for their horses as for themselves. Since the beginning of the wild retreat, when they had become separated from the main army, they had moved along at a steady pace day and night, pausing only four times, for an hour each time, to give their jaded horses a much-needed rest. Now, only a short distance from the old Fort Laurens area—as McQueen put it, “within spittin’ distance of home”—they hobbled their horses in a meadow clearing in the woods and stretched out nearby.
Having had nothing to eat these past two days except a handful of parched corn apiece, they were ravenous. The Frenchman suggested they hunt some game, but McQueen said he thought it would not be a good idea, as a gunshot might be heard by Indians. A few minutes later, however, the lieutenant, turning his head as he lay supine in the grass, saw a raccoon climbing about in the upper branches of a tree.
“By God,” he exclaimed, “there’s dinner!”
He snatched up his rifle and, over McQueen’s protests, ran over to the tree and brought down the raccoon with a single shot through the head. He carried it back to the other men, grinning broadly, told McQueen to gather up some firewood and started to skin the dead animal. McQueen reluctantly got to his feet, and the lieutenant had no more than inserted his knife blade under the raccoon’s skin when a party of ten Wyandots emerged from the trees with their guns trained on the three volunteers. They had no choice but to surrender.
As nightfall approached, the eight Chippewa captors of Pvts. Michael Walters and Christopher Coffman stopped at their temporary camp a few miles to the east of Wingenund’s Town. Now, however, instead of having just the two captives, they had three.
After the Indians had ambushed them and Joshua Collins managed to escape, the Chippewas had started with their captives back to their own little camp a mile or so from where Walters and Coffman had been captured.
Shortly after the Chippewas began marching the two prisoners toward their camp, they came across a wounded volunteer sitting on the edge of the trail—Pvt. James Guffee. He had taken a bullet through his shoulder during the retreat but had not been knocked out of the saddle, and he managed to get this far through the prairie before he collapsed, weak and exhausted, and fell to the ground. When he finally came back to awareness, his horse was nowhere in sight. He had walked until he had come across this trail, where he had sat down to rest and where the Chippewa party found him. Knowing he was not strong enough to flee from the approaching Chippewas, he simply drew his hunting knife from its sheath, threw it in the trail and made no resistance to being taken captive.
Michael Walters gave Pvt. Guffee some jerky to eat, and within minutes it seemed to have a decidedly recuperative effect upon him. This was perhaps in part inspired by Walters whispering to him that if he was unable to walk along with them as a captive, he would be tomahawked. In a few minutes they were on their way again. It was deep twilight before they finally arrived at the camp of the Chippewas in a secluded glen within a small grove of trees. The instant they stopped, Pvt. James Guffee slumped to the ground. He did not look at all well, and both Walters and Coffman noticed that his shirt was showing fresh blood from his shoulder wound.
“I hope,” Walters murmured to his companion, “the rest he’ll get tonight will help him.”
Christopher Coffman nodded, but he seriously doubted it.[21]
June 7th Thursday, 1782
June 7th Thursday [Friday],we moved off at the dawn of Day. Not an hour after, we heard the Scalp hIalloo, and found that the ennemy had scalped a Boy of ours who with two others remained behind to bake Bread. These were taken, this unfortunate Boy (John hayes) was shot in the Shoulder on Tuesday. On Wednesday the party of mounted Yagers Wounded him with a Tomahawk in the Skull, but were obliged to leave him behind, being hot pursued by our horse. he having a Breech Olous &c [sic] on, and the Blood of his Wound having painted his face & breast quite red, he was taken for an Indian & 2 of our Men levelled their rifles at him to shut him, [sic] when he begged for God’s sake not to be killed and told his name. He seemed a little franctic after this last Wound and could not escape his fate of being scalped,
We march’d with little Order but much precipitatjoy?~ over the beach ridge, where the road was much softer & deeper after Yesterday’s Rain, this gives ?rue reason to suspect that the different seasons must have a great influenice Upon the Practicability of passing it.
We continued to Day the plainest path as mentioned in this Journal June 3nd which led us into the glades near Mohickin John’s Town, where we encamped along the Banks of the Creek.[22]
The following is the British and Indian official correspondence concerning the expedition:
[ John Turney TO MAJOR A. S. De Peyster, CoMMANDER AT DETROIT.]
“CAMP UPPER SANDUSKY, June 7, 1782.
“Sir:—I am happy in having the pleasure of acquainting you with our success on the 4th and 5th instant. On the 4th, about 12 o’clock, the enemy appeared about two miles from this place. Captain [William] Caldwell, with the rangers and about two hundred Indians, marched out to~ fight them, and attacked them about 2 o’clock. The enemy immediately retreated to a copse of wood at a little distance, where they made a stand and had every advantage of us as to situation of ground people possibly could wish for; as there was but a small neck of woods that we could get possession of, which, when we once gained, the action became general and was dubious for some time till we obliged them to retreat about fifty yards, after which we were able to cover most of our men. The battle was very hot till night, which put a stop to firing. Both parties kept their ground all night.
“On the 5th at daybreak, we again commenced firing, which we kept up pretty briskly till we found the enemy did not wish to oppose us again. However, we kept firing at them whenever they dared show themselves. They made two attempts to sally, but were repulsed with loss. About 12 o’clock, we were joined by one hundred and forty Shawanese, and had got the enemy surrounded; but, through some mistake of the Indians, there was one pass left unguarded, through which they made their escape about 12 o’clock at night, though some of the Indians pursued them.
“They [the Indiansi never alarmed our camp until daybreak. As soon as I heard of it Ithe retreat of the Americans], I pursued them with the rangers about two miles. The enemy were mostly on horseback. Some of the Indians who had horses followed and overtook them, killed a number, and it was owing to nothing but the country being very clear that any of them escaped.
“Captain Caldwell was wounded in both legs, the ball lodging in one. He left the field in the beginning of the action. Our loss is very inconsiderable. We had but one ranger killed and two wounded. LelTillier, the interpreter, and four Indians were killed and eight wounded. The loss of the enemy is one hundred killed and fifty wounded, as we are informed by the prisoners. The number of the killed we are certain of.
“Captain Caidwell started for Lower Sandusky on the evening of the 4th instant. I intend to march there likewise in a day or two, where I shall wait your orders unless something should turn up before I hear. from. you. They say [General George Rogers] Clark will be in the Shawanese country and that Sandusky is the most proper place for us to be at, till such time as we are certain the report is true.
“Too much cannot be said in praise of the officers and men and the Indians. No people could behave better. Captain [Matthew] Elliott and Lieutenant Clinch in particular signalized themselves.

“Father:— What we asked of you this spring, it is needless to repeat, you granted to us. Your assistance came in good time. We have, with your people, defeated the enemy. There is another army coming against us from Kentucky. This we are certain of, not only from prisoners, but from our young men who are watching them.
“Father! We hope you will again grant our request and let the rangers remain at Lower Sandusky about ten days and then march for our villages~ We hope, if possible, you will send some more of your people and stores, such as are necessary for warriors, with cannon and provision sufficient to maintain the Indians you may send to us. This you cannot do too soon, as we are determined if the enemy do not come into our country that we will go into theirs; and we will give you all the assistance in our power to transport your provision and what other necessaries you may send for your people.

ALEX. MCKEE OF THE BRITISH INDIAN DEPARTMENT TO DE PEYSTER.]
UPPER SANDUSKY, June 7, 1782. 1
“Dear Sir:— You have already an account of the repulse of five hundred of the enemy who advanced near to this place and were surrounded by near an equal number of Indians with the rangers; but, being too sure of taking the whole, and an unlucky maneuver of the Indians ordering the sentinels posted around them to fire, showed the enemy their weakest part through which they escaped under cover of a dark night. However, they were pursued and dispersed. But it is difficult to ascertain the numbers killed, as the Indians are still bringing in prisoners and scalps, and numbers are still after them whose intentions are to follow them to the Ohio. Many, by the pri.soners’ accounts, must perish in the woods, having left their clothes and baggage.
“The chiefs assembled here have also spken to you their sentiments, which is to go against the enemy, provided they find the enemy is not coming soon against them from Kentucky; though it is generally believed they will; and that ten days or a fortnight will put us in certainty of their designs; in the mean time, that our forces be collected and wait at Sandusky until they send word what is further to be done. They likewise beg you to send them what further assistance you can, with a further supply of ammunition and stores suitable for warriors; as that on the way they think will not be sufficient and having already expended all they had. I shall go hence to Lower Sandusky where Captain Caidwell is and wounded, to see how matters can be settled there with the Indians, and thence proceed to the Shawanese towns. I am, with great respect, dear sir, your most obedient and very humble servant,

On this day, which was the second after the retreat, one of our campany, the person affected with the heumatic swelling, was left behind some distance in a swamp. Waiting for hism some time we saw him coming within one hundred yards, as I sat on the body of an old tree mending my moccasins, but taking my eye from him I saw him no more. He had not observed our tracks, but had gone a different way. We whistled on our chargers, and afterwards called for him, but in vain. Nevertheless he was fortunate in missing us, for he afterwards came safe into Wheeling, which is a post of ours on the Ohio, about 70 miles below Fort Pitt. We traveled on until night, and were on the waters of the Muskingum from the middle of his day.
Having caught a fawn on this day, we made a fire in the evening and had a repast, having in the meantime eat nothing but the small bit of pork I mentioned before. [27]

Language
English
The Treaty of Fort Wayne was a treaty between the United States and several groups of Native Americans. The treaty was signed on June 7, 1803 and proclaimed December 26, 1803.
Parties
William Henry Harrison, who at the time was governor of Indiana Territory and superintendent of Indian affairs and commissioner plenipotentiary of the United States for concluding any treaty or treaties which may be found necessary with any of the Indian tribes north west of the Ohio river, negotiated the treaty for the United States. The native peoples were represented by chiefs and head warriors of the Delawares, Shawnee, Potowatomi, Miami and Kickapoo. The Eel River band of Miami, the Weas, Piankeshaws, and Kaskaskias were represented by proxy agents.[1]
Terms
The first article more precisely defined the boundaries of the Vincennes Tract surrounding Fort Vincennes on the Wabash River, which had been confirmed as a possession of the United States in the 1795 Treaty of Greenville.[1] The land was originally purchased from the tribes by the Kingdom of France. It was transferred to Great Britain in 1763, and to the United States in 1783. The area was a rectangular tract of approximately 160,000 acres (650 km2) lying at right angles to the course of the Wabash River at Vincennes.[2]
In the second article, the United States relinquished claims to any lands adjoining the tract defined in article one.[3]
Article 3 cedes to the United States a salt spring upon the Saline creek, which falls into the Ohio below the mouth of the Wabash, with a quantity of land surrounding it not exceeding 4 square miles (10 km2). The U.S. agreed to deliver to the Indians annually a quantity of salt not exceeding 150 US bushels (5.3 m3).[3]
Article 4 cedes to the United States the right of locating three tracts of land (of such size as may he agreed to by the Kickapoo, Eel River band of Miami, Wea, Piankeshaw, and Kaskaskia tribes), for the purposes of erecting houses of entertainment for the accommodation of travellers on the main road between Vincennes and Kaskaskia and one other on the road between Vincennes and Clarksville.[3]
Article 5 allowed for alterations to the boundary lines described in the first article if it is found that settlements of land made by citizens of the United States fall in the Indian country. It was agreed that a quantity of land equal in quantity to what may be thus taken shall be given to the said tribes either at the east or the west end of the tract.[3]
Notable among the Indian signatories were
•Meseekunnoghquoh, or Little Turtle for the Miamis
•Tuthinipee (also known as Topinabee) for the Potawatomi
•Winnemac for the Potawatomi
•Bukongehelas for the Delawares
Subsequent treaties
The Eel River band of Miami, Wyandot, Piankishaw, Kaskaskia, and also the Kickapoo represented by the Eel River chiefs in a treaty of August 7, 1803 concurred in the cessions for houses of entertainment provided for Article 4 of this treaty.[4]
At two treaties concluded at Vincennes in August 1805, the Delawares and Piankishaw ceded claims to lands south of the Vincennes Tract.[5][30][31]

Conrad would have learned about the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804.[32]
1804-1805: William Henry Harrison administered government of District of Louisiana 1804-1805.[33] In Vincennes, he served as a contact during the expedition; surviving records document his support[34] and his involvement in decisions about western Indian chiefs visiting Washington.[35]
Tenskwatawa
Also known as The Prophet
1804: Tenskwatawa (also known as The Prophet), a member of the Shawnee Indians, was born in 1775. Named Lalawethika (the Rattle), his mother abandoned him in 1779. By all accounts, Lalawethika was a homely child and lacked the physical abilities that his other siblings, including his elder brother Tecumseh, enjoyed. His older siblings refused to train him in hunting and fighting. He was so unskilled with a bow and arrow that he blinded himself in his right eye with a wayward arrow. As an adult, he became reliant on the kindness of his fellow tribesmen to feed himself and his family. He also turned to alcohol to forget his problems, quickly becoming dependent upon liquor. Not having the physical abilities to become a warrior, Lalawethika attempted to learn the ways of his village's medicine man. When the man died in 1804, Lalawethika quickly proved unable to meet his people's needs. They remembered the drunken Lalawethika and did not respect his medicinal abilities. He quickly turned back to alcohol to provide himself with solace.[36]
In 1804, Col. Meason filled the first order for sugar kettles called for by Southern planters.[37]

By 1804 few Jews remained in Lancaster, and Jewish life there ended until a new group of Jews settled there fifty years later.[38]

In 1804 the first post office was recorded for Springfield. Simon Kenton built a gristmill and distillery where the old International Harvester plant now stands.[39]
In 1804, Andrew Jackson (2nd cousin 8 times removed) acquired the "Hermitage", a 640-acre (2.6 km2) plantation in Davidson County, near Nashville. Jackson later added 360 acres (1.5 km2) to the farm. The primary crop was cotton, grown by enslaved workers. Jackson started with nine slaves, by 1820 he held as many as 44, and later held up to 150 slaves.[40]

June 7, 1942: German authorities in France publish regulations adopted the previous day requiring Jews in the Occupied Zone to wear a yellow star. The text of the ordinance:
I
Distinctive Insignia for Jews
1. It is forbidden for a jew of the age of six and older to appear in public without wearing the yellow star.
2. The Jewish star is a star with six points having the dimensions of the palm of a hand and black borders. It is of yellow cloth and displays, in black letters, the word “Jew.” It should be worn very visibly on the left side of the chest, firmly sewn to the garment.
II
Penalties
Infractions of the present ordinance will be punished with imprisonment and fines or one of these penalties. Police measures, such as imprisonment in a camp for Jews, may be added to substituted for these penalties.
• III
• Entry in Force
• The present ordinance will be effective June 7, 1942.
• The wearing of the yellow star was never imposed on Jews in the Unoccupied Zone, even after the Germans occupied all of France later in 1942.[50]
June 7, 1942: The Jews in occupied France are required to wear the yellow badge.[51]
June 7-8, 1942
Fearing demonstrating of public sympathy with Jews on the first day the yellow star becomes obligatory, the SS and French police plan to arrest non-Jews who wear the star or a derisory insignia. No demonstrations of importance take place, but in a mood of visible disapproval, some French non-Jews, most of them young, display their feelings. Fifteen men and 20 women are arrested in Paris for wearing Jewish stars with inscriptions such as “Swing,” “Zazou,” “Victory,” “Goy,” “Catholique,” “Auvergnat,” “Jenny,” or “Dany.” Nine men and 11 women over the age of 18 are interned, the men in Drancy, the women in the camp of Tourelles. These “Friends of the Jews”, the label they wear on stars sewn on their chests, are freed after three months detention.[52]
June 7, 1942: At 0458, June 7, Yorktown - sistership of Enterprise and Hornet - rolled over and settled beneath the waves.
Even as I-168 delivered the fatal blow to Yorktown, Hornet again struck at the wrecked enemy cruisers, launching 24 SBDs armed with 1000-lb bombs which attacked at 1445. Shortly afterwards, Enterprise launched her last mission of the battle, two SBDs equipped with cameras, to photograph the enemy ships. Mogami managed to escape, eventually reaching Truk, and out of action for over a year. The SBDs found Mikuma settling quickly: the photos they took rank among the best known of the Pacific War.
The Consequences
Shortly after the final attacks on Mikuma, Spruance concluded it would be best to break off pursuit of the enemy, as he would soon be in range of enemy planes based on Wake Island. At 1900, Task Force 16, its ships full of exhausted but victorious aviators and sailors, turned east, first to rendezvous with oilers, and then to proceed southeast to Pearl Harbor, arriving late June 13.
For a number of reasons, the decisive role that Enterprise and the US Navy played at Midway remained under-appreciated for some time. Stories of the Army Air Force's exploits during the battle reached the news media first. Despite the fact that not a single hit was scored by the AAF's bombers, initially they received much of the credit for the destruction of Nagumo's carriers. Only time and the lifting of the veils of secrecy and censorship would reveal the facts.
The Army and Marine planes based at Midway deserve full credit for their attacks on the enemy carriers, and the disruption they caused. Yet at twenty minutes past ten, the morning of June 4, 1942, dive bombers from Enterprise and Yorktown found four undamaged enemy carriers, preparing to launch a powerful attack against the US fleet. Six minutes later, three of those carriers were infernos. Enterprise destroyed two enemy carriers in those six minutes, Yorktown one. Aviators from both carriers, flying from Enterprise, destroyed the fourth carrier later that same day.
In no other battle was Enterprise so instrumental in forging decisive victory as she was at Midway. In no other battle did Enterprise - or arguably any other US Navy ship - deliver in a single blow such a stunning reversal to Japanese fortune.
Midway was a brilliant, inspired and fortuitous victory for the United States. In a single stroke, the US Navy, assisted by the Marines and the Army Air Force, essentially "leveled the playing field" in the Pacific. But the battle was not - as it is frequently referred to - the turning point of the war in the Pacific. The moment when the tide of fortunes would turn irreversibly in the Allies favor was still many months away. The decision would be reached in the South Pacific, on New Guinea, and on a then-unfamiliar island at the eastern end of the Solomon Islands, named Guadalcanal.
Beginning in August 1942, six months of brutal land and naval battles would bloody Guadalcanal and the surrounding seas. In those six months, no other US carrier would be more heavily engaged than Enterprise.[53]
Midway is regarded by many historians as the most important Pacific battle. The resounding victory for U.S. naval forces occurred six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. It occurred between June 4 and June 7 and was a turning point in the war.
The Navy remembers the sailors who fought at Midway each year.

Naval District Washington commemorated the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Midway with a wreath-laying ceremony at the U.S. Navy Memorial in downtown Washington, June 4.
The Battle of Midway took place from June 4-8 1942, and is noted as being the first real turning point in the war, and the first decisive victory by the United States in the war with Japan.
The Imperial Japanese navy (IJN) had already made broad strokes in the Pacific, beginning with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the invasion of the Philippines, Malaya and Singapore, the Battle of Wake Island and recently a tactical victory at Coral Sea.
However, with a sweeping victory at Midway, Allied forces had sunk four Japanese aircraft carriers and were primed for the counter-offensive that would win the Pacific War.
Highlights of the ceremony included music throughout the service provided by the United States Navy Band, and a wreath-laying to join the dozens of others taking place throughout the Navy to remember the battle. The commemoration featured speakers such as Director, Marine Corps Staff Lt. Gen. Willie J. Williams, U.S. Coast Guard Deputy Commandant for Mission Support Vice Adm. Manson K. Brown, and Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Johnathan Greenert providing remarks.
"I'd like to say thank you to the many veterans who served, not only in World War II, but in Midway," said Greenert. "It's because of you that we exist today as the greatest Navy in the world. I'd also like to thank our Sailors who are out there getting the job done, day in and day out."
The event was concluded with a reading of the Midway Proclamation, authored by the CNO, which was subsequently distributed to the Midway veterans. The proclamation thanked the veterans for their distinguished service, remarking that "we recognize the need to carry forward the legacy of the many heroes of the Battle of Midway who have spoken to our Sailors and to the public about their contributions to the Navy and our nation."
The recognition of the Midway veterans was assuredly a highlight of the commemoration, yet the veterans themselves appreciated the effort put forth in recognizing them and the importance to remember the events that had occurred.
"I thought it was great; very heartwarming and emotional," said retired Gunner's Mate 1st Class Hank Kudzik. "Men died back then, and we had to commit their souls to the sea. It brings back memories all the time, but I am fortunate to be here."
"Veteran Howard Snell, a retired sonar technician, appreciated the Navy Band's performance and the showmanship of the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard."
"If you don't get goose pimples hearing the music and seeing them walking around out there then you aren't a good-old citizen of this great nation of ours," said Snell.

[15] Corn Husk. When harvesting corn, the entire ear would be snapped off the stalk. This included the husk, the corn (grain), and the cob. All were used. The grain eaten. The dried cob used for heat. The husk could be used as stuffing for a mattress or as padding in clothing.
A Seneca story has it that Corn Spirit, who had been put on earth by the "Great Spirit in the Sky," asked if she could do anything else for her people. "Great Spirit" told her she could make dolls from her husks. Corn Spirit made dolls for her people, but one of them started looking at herself in the smooth water of the lake and admiring how beautiful she was. "Great Spirit" was unhappy with the vain, self-centered doll and sent an owl to discipline her. "You were intended to spread joy, companionship, and friendliness among the Creator's children. Instead, because of your vanity, you have aroused envy and distress in their hearts...look hard in the sacred pool, vain one. Vain people are soulless. Soulless people should have no faces. Your beautiful face I now wipe away." The doll's face disappeared. Owl concluded, "It has pleased our Creator to make differences among people, but it is wrong for one person to hold himself above another. Go learn to be content and humble. Go make the children of our Mother, the Earth, happy."

Geological Survey, 1970, Civics Online Web site, http://www.civics-online.org (accessed November 9, 2005). (B00592)
[34] Harrison sent William Clark a copy of the "Indian Office" map that included the Missouri River and Mandan Country, acknowledged Clark's intent to keep him informed, and asked Clark to invite Meriwether Lewis to visit him in Vincennes on the way home. Harrison to Clark, Vincenes, November 13, 1803, Letters of the Lewis and Clark Expedition with Related Documents, 1783-1854, ed. Donald Jackson (Urbana, 1962), 135-36. B00600)
For acts regarding the division of the lands of the Louisiana, see U.S. Statutes at Large, II, 283-89, 331-32, Library of Congress http://memory.loc.gov/cgibin/ampage (accessed August 26, 2005). (B00594, B00595) In a letter to Harrison dated March 31, 1804, President Thomas Jefferson informs Harrison of his new responsibilities and directs him to move quickly to determine how to implement the division and governance of the lands, Messages and Letters, Esarey, ed., 94. (B00596)
John D. Barnhart and Dorothy L. Riker, Indiana to 1816: The Colonial Period (Indianapolis, 1971), 342-44, provides a good summary of the process of bringing the Louisiana Purchase under U.S. governance. (B00589)
[35] For Harrison's involvement in sending a group of Indian chiefs to Washington, see the following sources: Pierre Chouteau (Agent of Indian Affairs, Saint Louis) writes to Harrison regarding the Indian chiefs who had arrived in St. Louis from Fort Mandan. Chouteau asked Harrison for instructions for conducting the chiefs to Washington. There are numerous references to taking Indians to Washington to meet the "father." Pierre Chouteau to Wm. H. Harrison, St. Louis, May 22, 1805, Messages and Letters, Esarey, ed., 128-30. (B00603)
Harrison writes back to Chouteau agreeing that the Indians' trip to Washington should be postponed-if the Indian chiefs agree-until cooler weather arrives. Harrison to Pierre Chouteau, Vincennes, May 27, 1805, Messages and Letters, Esarey, ed., 135-36. (B00604)
Harrison informs the Secretary of War about the possible travel of Indian chiefs to Washington. Harrison also relays that Clark has sent him a letter [April 2, 1805] saying that all is well. William Henry Harrison to Henry Dearborn, Vincennes, May 27, 1805, Letters, Jackson, ed., 246-47. (B00606)
Chouteau indicates that some of the Indians sent by Lewis are impatient to get back to their villages and some are sick (the "Mahas" and "Poncas"). The "Ottos, " Missouris and some Sioux have gone home but will return at the end of September. Those remaining with Chouteau are the great chiefs of the "Ottos" and "Missoury, " the chief "ricaras" and some Sioux. The Indians are worried about so long a journey (to Washington) in the warm season and prefer to travel in the fall. Chouteau will prepare for that and try to get some "Sakias" and "foxes" to come. Chouteau to Harrison, St. Louis, June 12, 1805. Papers of William Henry Harrison, Clanin, ed., microfilm, reel 2, pp. 215-16. (B00607)
