July 16, 622: The Prophet Mohammed begins his Hijra from Mecca to Medina.[2] In the face of continuing persecution, Muhammad and about 200 of his followers left Mecca and journeyed to Yathrib. This important event became known as the Hijra (the Arabic word means “migration” or to leave one‘s tribe).[1] The Islamic calendar starts with the Hijra, the migration of Muslims from Mecca to Yathrib. That event occurred in the year 622 C.E. according to the Western calendar. In Yathrib (now known as Medina), the original Islamic state was established and defended. [1][1][2]
When Muhammad arrived in Yathrib, he united the different tribes of the city under an agreement called the wathiqat al Madina. This treaty bound the different tribes to cooperate in the mutual defense of the city and outlined a procedure for prosecuting crimes committed by a member of one tribe or community against a person of different community. Under Muhammad’s leadership, the Muslims flourished in Yathrib. [3]
The first mosque was built next to his house, and it became a center of religious and social activities. Many people of Yathrib accepted Muhammad’s message, and Islamic ideas soon became the basis of the city’s judicial and social systems. (After Muhammad’s death, the city would become known as Madinat al-Nabi-”City of the Prophet” or, more commonly in the West, Medina.)[4]
In Islam the umma, or Muslim community, is the basis of all social relations. Members of the umma were expected to protect and defend one another regardless of their previous tribal affiliations. If any group with in the umma was threatened, the rest of the umma was obliged to defend them. The concept of umma supplanted the traditional Arab notion of family and tribal obligations. Acceptance of this new social ideal was an important act of faith for the Muslims.[5]
623:
Nakhla expedition[7]
[8]
624: The need for solidarity became evident when warfare broke out between Mecca and Yathrib in 624. Muhammad’s forces won an important victory at the Battle of Badr that year.[9] Expulsion of the Bani Qainuqa Jews from Madina.[10]
625: A Quaraysh army routed the Muslims. The Muslims forced one of the Jewish tribes of Yathrib, the Banu Qaynuqa’ to leave the city because this tribe had violated the agreement by not coming to the aid of the Muslims.[11]
626:
Expedition of Banu Mustaliq. [12]
627: In 627 the Meccans targeted Yathrib again, sending a large army to attack the city. The Muslims built defenses just in time to thwart the attack. A Jewish tribe in the city, the Banu Qurayza, secretly conspired to let the Meccans into Yathrib through the gate they guarded. This plot was unsuccessful. The Meccans were ultimately forced to with draw in failure, and Muhammad and the Muslims attacked the Banu Qurayza, who eventually surrendered. According to tradition, their punishment, in which all the men of the tribe were killed, was taken from the Torah: “If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women and children, the livestock and everything else in the ciyt, you may take these as plunder for yourselves” (Deuteronomy 20: 12-14). [13]
July 16, 1099: Crusaders herded the Jews of Jerusalem into a synagogue and set it aflame. All of the Jews perished in the fire. For the 88 years of Crusader control of Jerusalem, Jews were officially barred from the city. [14]
July 16, 1212: At The Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa Chistain forces under King Alfonso VIII of Castile defeated a force of Almohads. Contrary to popular misconception, the treatment of the Jews was not all positive under Muslims and all negative under Christians. It depended upon which sects of Muslims were in control and who was leading the Christians. In this case, life under the Almohads was, to put it mildly, was not a positive experience for the Jews. Alfonso had a positive view of the Jews, stopped the attacks on the Jews of Toledo and expanded their rights. Part of this positive treatment may be attributed to the fact that king was smitten with a Jewess named Rachel Fermosa of Toledo. [3][15]
July 16, 1751 instructions from the Ohio Company to Christopher Gist stated:
…You are to look out & observe the nearest & most convenient Road You can find from
the Company‘s Store at Wills‘s Creek to a Landing at Mohongeyela; from thence You are to proceed down the Ohio on the South Side thereof, as low as the Big Conhaway, and up
the same as far as You judge proper, and find good Land—You are all the Way to keep
an exact Diary & Journal & therein note every Parcel of good Land…[16]
July 16, 1763: In a letter to Colonel Bouquet he authorized genocide against the Indians. This order followed an event in May 1763 at Fort Venango when a group of Senecas on the pretense of a peaceful mission entered the fort and killed the occupants. The captain of the fort (Lt. Francis Gordon) was tortured for several days before being killed. The fort was burned to the ground. Amherst’s concluding words were “…no punishment we can inflict is adequate to the crimes of those inhuman villains.”
In 1763, Amherst was appointed temporary Governor of Virginia—which proved to be his final service in the colonies as he was then recalled to England in the fall of the same year. When the Revolutionary War started, Amherst declined command over British forces due to his belief that the colonists would prevail. Amherst’s wife developed considerable emotional problems and the General grew to detest nearly everything about North America.
Historians write of Amherst as both brave hero and despicable villain—a complex character.[17]
Tuesday July 16, 1754
Lt. Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia returns to Williamsburg (the capital of Virginia) from Winchester. Upon his arrival, Dinwiddie receives the news that Washington had surrendered at Fort Necessity. He immediately begins to write letters to the governors of the other British colonies criticizing them for their lack of support. [18]
July 16, 1771: Lawrence and Catherine's children moved to Kentucky. According to the Draper Manuscripts Lawrence was a brother of Benjamin Harrison the signer of the Declaration of Independence and letter therein dated. However the birthdate listed in the IGI indicates some conflict here. Tennessee Cousins states that Lawrence's parents were Andrew Harrison (b. 1666) and Elizabeth Battaile.
Lawrence Harrison, Constable, resided in OrangeCo, VA as late as 1754; removed to Frederick Co, VA in 1758; remained until 1762 and removed to Bedford Co PA where he is of record as being Township Supervisor, July 16, 1771. Bedford Co. was erected in 1771 and from it, later Fayette Co was erected in 1783. While the lands which he and his children owned are in what is known as Fayette Co now, they were during his lifetime in Bedford Co, where "Letters of Administration were granted to Catherine Harrison, his wife, and son, William Harrison, January 14, 1772". Sometime following her husband's death Catherine Harrison went to KY and was residing with her sister, Mary (Harrison) Moore, wife of Capt Thomas Moore, where she died 1826. (Deposition of John Cord, of Bedford Co, PA (Ibid). Lawrence Harrison entire history will be found in Torrence & Allied Families, p. 320-325. [S9] [S126] [S9] [S252] [S250] [19]
July 16 1771
He (Lawrence Harrison) is recorded as having been the township supervisor July 16, 177l. Bedford County was erected 1771 and from it later Fayette County was erected in 1783. [20]
"In Tyrone Township, Fayette County, Pa., Charles Harrison’s neighbors were: William Harrison, William Crawfordd, Tom. Moore—_single, Tom Git, Nicholas Dawson, Uriah Springer and Joseph Vance." (Pa. Arch. S. 3, Vol. 22, p. 50) This quotation is quite enlightening, because it shows that Charles Harrison was still with his own relatives. To clarify this statement, each name will be mentioned: William Harrison was his nephew, the very famous Major William Harrison who was burned at the stake by the Wyandotte and Moravian Indians, that massacre, under Colonel William Crawford, who led it, June 11, 1782, and was also killed. Major William Harrison had married Sarah Crawford, a daughter of Colonel William Crawford. Following the death of Major William Harrison, his widow, Sarah (Crawford) Harrison, married Uriah Springer, who had come from Virginia to Fayette County, Pa. Colonel William Crawford, from Westmoreland County, Virginia, was a son of Hugh Crawford and his wife, Honore Vance. Colonel Crawford was authorized by George Washington to select, as his surveyor, favorable sites for himself and his brothers, Samuel and John Augustine Washington. [21]Thomas Gist was a son of Christopher Gist who was visited by George Washington. Christopher Gist was a member of the Ohio Company in 1753. His 2309 acre estate, known as "Mount Braddock," in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, was inherited by his son, Thomas Gist and after his death, was acquired by Colonel Isaac Meason.[22]After the death of Thomas Gist, his family went to Kentucky. Tom. Moore was the Captain Moore who married Mary Harrison, born 1761; died February 7, 1836, a daughter of Lawrence and Catheren Harrison. He was born in Kent County, Maryland in 1745; died October 20, 1823, in Harrison County, Kentucky; buried next to his wife in Poindexter Village, near Cynthiana. Joseph Vance, whose connections have not been gone into, was no doubt a relative of Honore Vance who married Hugh Crawford. All goes to show these families stuck together in early times. It appears that when the exploitation of lands in the Virginia County of Augusta, later Fayette County, Pennsylvania, was over, a number of persons, including Harrisons, went down the Ohio River to Limestone, now Maysville and up the Licking River to Cynthiana and Paris, Kentucky. They are found in Louisville and south of it on the Salt Licks and Salt River. To prove this, it is noted, in looking over the will of Major William Harrison, nephew of Charles Harrison, dated May 16, 1782; proven March 1, 1784: "It is my further will that the four thousand acres of land located in my name on Licking Creek, in the State of Virginia, be divided and distributed in manner, viz: First, I do give and bequeath unto my much beloved wife, Sarah, five hundred acres during her natural life, at the expiration of which, I desire they be sold and the money equally divided amongst my children or heirs of their body lawfully begotten." (Union-town, Pennsylvania, Court House, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, Orphans Court, Book 1, Page 6, transferred to Book, Page 3.) This will says further: 500 acres to my brother, Benjamin Harrison and the remaining three thousand be divided amongst his children. This land, described as in Virginia, eventually turned out to be located in Kentucky. [23]

July 16, 1775 – Captain Hugh Stephenson filled the ranks of his company in response to General Washington’s call. The troops departed "Morgan's Spring," about one-half mile south of Shepherdstown (and not far from Peter Burr’s house) as they began their 600 mile march in 24 days. (He lost several days due to a good-humored trick by Daniel Morgan who wanted to be the first to march him men into Cambridge.) This response with the departure of both Virginia companies became known as the Beeline March to Cambridge. Stephenson’s Berkeley County volunteers were easily distinguished on the field of battle; they embroidered Patrick Henry's famous slogan "Liberty or Death" on their shirts. Tragically, many of them were taken prisoner when the British captured Forts Washington and Lee, and many died after being treated harshly. “Nowhere . . . was there a more prompt and determined response to the fervid appeal of Patrick Henry than the patriotic citizens of Shepherdstown showed . . .” (Honorable Alex Boteler, “My Ride to the Barbecue” -- 1860)

Two companies of Virginians, one leaving from near Morgans Grove, (in Shepherdstown) marched 600 miles in 25 days, to join the Continental Army - July-August, 1775.
· July 16, 1775 – Some of Stephenson’s troops assembling for the Beeline March would have traveled up Warm Springs Road that went through Peter Burr’s property. We can only wonder what feelings were felt as residents of all ages watched these eager volunteers moving with passion toward the rally site. [26]

July 16, 1775: Colonel Hugh Stephenson led the famous Bee Line March that left from Morgan Springs (near Shepherdstown) on July 16, 1775 and marched to Cambridge, Massachusetts to join the Continental Army, covering 600 miles in 24 days. Colonel Stephenson's half-brother, Colonel William Crawford, who also lived at what is now known as Beverley for a time, was also a noted Revolutionary soldier who was burned at the stake by Indians in 1782. George Washington was friends with Richard Stephenson and notes in his journal that he stayed at Bullskin with Richard during a visit to his own property in the area in May 1760.[2] George Washington performed the survey of the property for Richard Stephenson around 1750 which still survives to this day and is publicly displayed in the Boston Public Library.
The property passed by purchase from the Stephenson family to Dr. John Bull in 1777, and then to Beverley Whiting, in 1795. Beverley Whiting was a leading planter and man of affairs in post-Revolutionary Berkeley and Jefferson Counties, as evidenced by the fact that he served on the first grand jury empaneled in the newly formed Jefferson County, being sworn in on March 9, 1802. Around 1845 the name of the property was changed from "Bullskin" to "Beverley". Around 1870 the property was sold to John Burns, and the property has remained in the Burns family ever since.[3][28]
XV.— IRVINE TO LINCOLN.
FORT PITT, July 16, 1782.
Sir:— This moment I have received an account that Hannastown,[29] the county town of Westmoreland, was burned last Saturday afternoon by a large body of Indians, some say three hundred, others only one, with some mounted.1 That place is about thirty-five miles in the rear of Fort Pitt, on the main road leading to Philadelphia, generally called the Pennsylvania [Forbes] road. The Virginia [Braddock’s] road is yet open, but how long it will continue so is uncertain, as this stroke has alarmed the whole country beyond conception. Should the country be evacuated on the south side of me, I know not what the consequence will be, having no magazine of provision, indeed barely supplied from day to day. I cannot at present write more particularly, as I am not yet certain whether the enemy are not in force in the neighborhood. I have sundry reconnoitering parties out, but the bearer, a Mr. Elliott, who promises to forward this from Lancaster county, where he lives, could not be prevailed on to wait their return.[30]
“Extract of a letter from Westmoreland county, Pa., 16 July, 1782:
‘In a former letter I informed you of the unhappy fate of Col. Crawford, since which a man has made his escape from - the Indians who says that fire was made for his torture, when a very heavy rain came on and obliged them to defer his execution. During the night he was left tied in the care of three Indians who fell asleep; that he got loose and escaped without waking the Indians and arrived here seven clays after. He says the Indian from whom Dr. Knight escaped came to the town he was in, with his head much cut; that the Delawares applied to the Muncies for Col. Wm. Harrison (son-in-law to Crawford), who being given up was tortured in the most cruel manner, they having bound him to a stake, fired powder through every part of his skin for an hour, after which they cut him in quarters and hung them on stakes. This and other similar acts of barbarity the Indians said they did in revenge for the murders and robberies committed by our frontier inhabitants on their relations, the Moravians; and that in future they would spare none of our people.’ “— [31]
After the revolution, David removed to Ohio where he served as Justice of Jefferson Co OH in 1799. A David and a Margaret Vance appear on tax lists of 1783 for Westmoreland Co PA. (PA Archives, XII, pp. 505, 393, and for 1786, p. 518. Children of David Vance are not listed in application, which is very early and dated 1899-1904. Only child listed is Samnyel coleille Vance, who married c. 1800 Mary Morris Lawrence. Their child Lawrence Martin Vance, b. July 16, 1816. Comments: Because of the early date of the application it is hard to tell about the validity of the information. However, the information tallies nicely, more or less, with the John Vance will dated December 10, 1777. This John Vance had a son David and a wife Margaret. Both David and Margaret also appear in 1790 Census in Fayette Co PA.[32]
July 16, 1778: Treaty of Amity and Commerce (United States – France)
The Treaty of Amity and Commerce Between the United States and France, along with its sister document the Treaty of Alliance, was one of two treaties signed on February 6, 1778 at the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris, France between the United States and France. The treaty established a commercial alliance between these two nations and was signed during the American Revolutionary War.

John Adams, an early supporter and initial author of an alliance with France
Early in 1776, as the members of the American Continental Congress began to move closer to declaring independence from Britain, leading American statesmen began to consider the benefits of forming foreign alliances to assist in their rebellion against the British Crown.[1] The most obvious potential ally was France, a long-time enemy of Britain and a colonial rival who had lost much of their lands in the Americas after the French and Indian War. As a result John Adams began drafting conditions for a possible commercial treaty between France and the future independent colonies of the United States, which declined the presence of French troops and any aspect of French authority in colonial affairs.[2] On September 25 the Continental congress ordered commissioners, led by Benjamin Franklin, to seek a treaty with France based upon Adams's draft treaty that had later been formalized into a Model Treaty which sought the establishment of reciprocal trade relations with France but declined to mention any possible military assistance from the French government.[3] Despite orders to seek no direct military assistance from France, the American commissioners were instructed to work to acquire most favored nation trading relations with France, along with additional military aid, and also encouraged to reassure any Spanish delegates that the United States had no desire to acquire Spanish lands in the Americas, in the hopes that Spain would in turn enter a Franco-American alliance.[4]
Despite an original openness to the alliance, after word of the Declaration of Independence and a British evacuation of Boston reached France, the French Foreign Minister, Comte de Vergennes, put off signing a formal alliance with the United States after receiving news of British victories over General George Washington in New York.[5] With the help of the Committee of Secret Correspondence, established by the Continental Congress to promote the American cause in France, and his standing as a model of republican simplicity within French society, Benjamin Franklin was able to gain a secret loan and clandestine military assistance from the Foreign Minister but was forced to put off negotiations on a formal alliance while the French government negotiated a possible alliance with Spain. [6]
http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.19/common/images/magnify-clip.png
Benjamin Franklin's celebrity like status in France helped win French support for the United States during the American Revolutionary War.[7]
With the defeat of Britain at the Battle of Saratoga and growing rumors of secret British peace offers to Franklin, France sought to seize an opportunity to take advantage of the rebellion and abandoned negotiations with Spain to begin discussions with the United States on a formal alliance.[8] With official approval to begin negotiations on a formal alliance given by King Louis XVI of France, the colonies turned down a British proposal for reconciliation in January 1778[9] and began negotiations that would result in the signing of the Treaty of Alliance and Treaty of Amity and Commerce.

Ratification
The Treaty was received by Congress on May 2, 1778 and ratified on May 4, 1778 by unanimous vote, however, not all states were represented in the vote. It is certain that New Hampshire and North Carolina were not present for the vote. It is doubted whether Delaware was present and Massachusetts' presence is uncertain. Urgency overrode the necessity of having all thirteen states ratify the document.[10]
The Treaty was ratified by France on July 16, 1778.[11][33]

July 16, 1793
The original furnace (march, 1791), was a small establishment, but in 1793 Mr. Meason associated with him John Gibson and Moses Dillon, and this firm (styled Meason, Dillon & Co.) erected a much larger furnace and foundry on the site of the first one. On the formation of the partnership, July 16, 1793, Meason transferred to Dillon and Gibson one sixth of six hundred acres of the furnace which includes the furnace which is now erecting. With the houses and appurtenaces, and also one half of two thousand seven hundred acres adjoining, and between it and the Youghiogheny River.[36]
In 1793, Col Meason and Moses Dillon joined in rebuilding and enlarging Union Furnace. Their manufactures included stove castings, pots, dog irons, and salt kettles.[37]

About Abner Vance, Spy/Scout
In 1777 Abner VANCE and Matthew VANCE swore the Oath of Allegiance in Pittsylvania Co. Va. In 1777 a young man had to be 16 years of age before he could take the Oath. -------------------- Abner Vance migrated into the southwestern part of Virginia (Clinch River
Valley, Russell Co) sometime arount 1790. He was of the Baptist faith
and spent much of his time preaching. One of Abner's daughters (and it
is thought to have been Elizabeth) ran off with Lewis Horton. After
several months Lewis Horton returned with the girl and dropped her off at
her parent's home. It is said that Abner and Susannah pleaded with Lewis
to marry the girl. He refused and turned to ride away. Abner went into
the house and returned with his gun and shot Horton as he was riding
away. Horton died a few hours later. Abner became a fugitive. He left
Russell County that night, September 17, 1817, and traveled along the Tug and
Guyandotte Rivers where he spent the next two years. Abner returned to
Russell County at the urging of his family to stand trial. Public
opinion was that Abner would be "freed" due to his "reputation as a
preacher." On his arrival he was locked in jail and held without bail.
The trial ended in a hung jury. A second trial was held in Washington
County, VA. There Abner was found guilty and sentenced to hang. The
case was taken to the court of appeals but the lower courts decision was
upheld. Petitions for the release of Abner Vance were circulated but to
no avail. Abner was hanged on July 16, 1819 in Abingdon, VA. A short
time afterwards a courier arrived with a pardon from the Governor.
Susannah left and migrated into the Tug, Big Sandy and Guyandotte River
Valley. (see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~marcusboyd/aqwg154.htm) -------------------- Abner Vance, was tried and convicted of the murder of a man who had “disgraced” his daughter. The governor issued a pardon for Abner but they had already hanged him by the time the pardon arrived.
"On Friday the 16th Instant, Abner Vance was executed at Abingdon, in pursuance of his
sentence, for the murder of Lewis Horton. He addressed the spectators,
about four thousand, for an hour and a half with considerable ability;
he died with the most heroic fortitude. He accused some of giving false
evidence against him; and said that if he had obtained a fair trial,
and nothing but the truth had been sworn against him, he thought the
penitentiary would have been proper punishment for his offense." from http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~deschart/z0001268.html
-------------------- "The Vance Song"
Bright shines the sun on Clinch's Hill. So soft the west wind blows. The valleys are lined with flowers gay, Perfumed with the wild rose.
Green are the woods through which Sandy flows. Peace dwells in the land. The bear doth live in the laurel green. The red buck roves the hills.
But Vance no more on Sandy behold Nor drink its crystal waves. The partial judge announced his doom. The hunters found his grave.
There's Daniel, Bill, and Lewis, A lie against me swore In order to take my life away That I may be no more.
But I and them shall meet again When Immanuel's trumpet shall blow. Perhaps I'll be wrapped in Abraham's bosom When they roll in the gulf below.
My body it will be laid in the tomb. My flesh it will decay, But the blood that was shed on Calvary Has washed my sins away.
Farewell, farewell, my old sweetheart, Your face I'll see no more. I'll meet you in the world above, Where parting is no more.
From: http://www.blueridgeinstitute.org/ballads/vancesong.html
Lynchburg Virginia Press July 27, 1819
On Friday the 16th instant, Abner Vance was executed at Abingdon, in pursuance of his sentence for the murder of Lewis Horton. He addressed about 4000 for an hour and a half, with considerable ability; and died with the most perfect composure and heroic fortitude. He accused some persons of giving false evidence against him; and said that if he obtained a fair trial, and nothing but truth had been sworn against him, he thought the penitentiary would have been the proper punishment for his offense.

Correspondence with Vance DNA group
Hi Keith,
Sorry to take so long getting back to you. We have at least two Abner descendants in the project already. One of them is, like you, a descendant of Abner's son Richard (through his son Paris). We have about all we need on the DNA front when it comes to Abner. You're still welcome to test if you want, but it probably won't advance our understanding of Abner's genealogy. You can see the results here: http://www.vancegenealogy.com/results.php#. As you can see, Abner's descendants closely match several other participants.
I don't think there's much debate over Abner being the son of Ephraim Vaus/Vance. Simply put, there's no good evidence to suggest that he was Ephraim's son. I'm sure a DNA test from an Ephraim descendant would settle the issue, but I think that's just one of those things you see floating around the internet that looks like it's on good authority, but actually there's no evidence for it. Incidentally, there's no evidence to suggest that Ephraim himself was the son of Andrew Vance. At one point, every single Vance in America was supposed to be descended from Andrew, so if the generation fit, people just made the person Andrew's son.
On the other hand, based on DNA it seems very likely that Abner was closely related to Matthew Vance of Pittsylvania County, VA. The DNA evidence and other traditional evidence link the two families. Opinions differ over whether Abner was Matthew's son or perhaps a nephew, but it is very likely that they were closely related.
Let me know if you'd still like to participate in the DNA project or if you have any other questions.

On Sun, October 5, 2008 at 10:58 PM,
I have documented my ancestry to the infamous Abner Sr which was hung in Abington, Washington County, VA in 1819. He was my GGGGGfather.
There seems to be a debate whether Abner Sr was the son of Ephraim Vance (vaus) son of Andrew.
Do you have any information on this and would I be a good canidate for your project?
Thank you

Hi, It was good to hear from you. Jack's real name was William Harrison Dempsey. His great grandparents were Joseph and Alena Vance Dempsey. Alena's father, Abner Vance, Sr., was the unfortunate soul who was hanged before the governor's pardon arrived. I'd have to check my records (or the book), but I'm pretty sure Abner's mother was Rachel Solomon, who was Jewish, a fact "Jack" was proud of. At one point in his career, he was proclaimed "The King of Jewish Boxers" in New York City, by his managers in order to sell more tickets. Haha. He was proud of his Irish-Cherokee roots also. He mentioned attending a family get-together in WV in 1957. He said someone called him, and 27 Jack Dempseys waited in line to answer the phone! My ggg grandmother was Teena Ann Dempsey ( married to John Smith Baisden), and she was Jack's great aunt. Teena Ann had a son named Anthony Baisden (married to Gordia Anise Lake). It is commonly spelled Gordiannis here on Ancestry.com. Their daughter, Teny Ann Baisden married John Floyd Workman, and they had my grandmother, Grace. Incidentally, Teny Ann was named after her grandmother, Teena Ann. Teena Ann Dempsey was a sister to Jack's grandfather, William Anderson Dempsey. This makes his son, Hyrum (Jack's spelling of his father's name), and Anthony Baisden first cousins. So, Teny Ann Baisden Workman (my great grandmother), was a second cousin to Jack. My grandmother knew Jack, and his eldest two daughters would have been her third cousins. Jack was born in 1895, and passed away in 1983. Hope this helps you some. P.S. I guess all of Jack's children were Grandma's third cousins, DUH....Write me back when you can-----Bev

I visited a man today by the name of John Vance, this John Vance is a direct decendent of Samuel Vance & Sarah Colville. Samuel b. 1716, d. 1778. Sarah b. 1715, d. 1792.
This John Vance is the 4th great grandson of Samuel Vance, My Father was the 3rd Great Grandson of Abner Vance & Susannah Howard, Abner b. 1753-63, d. 1819. Susannah b. 1767, d. aft. 1850. This John Vance I visited today could be my Father's twin brother, they are definately related. I have no documented proof that Samuel Vance and Abner Vance were related, but I saw living proof of it today, two people with the same last name could not look so much alike and not be related. I believe that Samuel Vance was the Uncle to Abner Vance. Any clues about these relations would be most appreciated by everyone related to both Samuel & Abner Vance.

July 16, 1941
Jewish lawyers are limited to 2 percent of those admitted to practice by the French bar. On August 11, the same 2 percent limitation is applied to Jewish physicians.[50]
July 16, 1941: Up to this date, 2,700 Jews have been shot outside Riga.[51]
July 16-29, 1941: The Germans and Soviets fight at Smolensk, with the Germans eventually victorious.[52]
July 16, 1942: The following points are discussed: the date of the roundup is put off to July 16. It will begin at 4 A.M., and the arrested Jews will be assembled at the Vel d’Hiv. Andre Tulard, keeper of the Prefectur’s Jewish Census file, estimates that 24,000 to 25,000 individuals will be interened. Upper age limits are raised to 55 for women and 60 for men. This is probably because examination of the records for stateless Jews shows they are too few to produce the predicted number of arrests, but it somewhat contradicts the appearance that these are to be “deportations for labor service” the initial description of the operation.
For the moment, it is planned that Public Assistance agencies will take charge of children under 15 taken to the Vel d’Hiv, before turning them over to the UGIF. Jewish women who are mothers of infants under two years of age will not be arrested, but stateless Jewish spouses of Aryans will be arrested. The first deportatrion convoy after the police raids will leave for the East on July 21 and 22 and others will follow at a contemplated rate of three times per week.
Dannecker telexes Eichmann that the raids will be carried out gby the French police from July 16 to July 18 and it is expected that about 4,000 children will be among those arrested.
Dannecker sets out the main arguments in favor of deportation of these 4,000 children: to prevent promiscuity between them and non-Jewish children under Public Assitance care; and the impossibility that the ‘U
GIF can care for more than 400 of them. Dannecker requests an urgent response to the question of whether, beginning with the tenth convoy (July 24), the 4,000 children can also be deported. These will be children ages 2 to 16, whose fate Premier Laval has said does not interest him. The minimum age for children to be deported is set at two because the Special Commission has exembpted from arrest mothers with children under two and the children themelves. Dannecker further requests an urgent response to a question posed in his July 6 telex; whether beginning with convoy 15, he can deport children under 16 whom Vichy will deliver from the Unoccupied Zone and whom Laval had asked Knochen to deport with their parents.[53]
July 16-17, 1942
The Vol d’Hiv roundup begins as planned before dawn, at 4 A.M. on Thursday, July 16. By 8 A.M. the Paris police inform the prefect of police that many Jewish men had left their homes the evening before. They doubtless have been alerted by rumors of the roundup from individual policemen and members of the Jewish Communist resitance organization, and apparently they believe only men wil be targeted, as was the case in the three prior roundups. By 3 P.M. when the action is haltyed for the day, there are 11,363 prisoners, 2573 men, 5,165 women, and 3,625 children.
The operation is resumed July 17 and goes on until 1 P.M., but with less success. By 5 P.M. the tally of arrests for the two days totals 12,884; 3,031 men, 5,802 women, and 4,051 children. The Prefecture instructs local police to continue their search for Jews not found at home during the raids; a police van will be sent to each of Pari’s six police divisions for several days to collect arrested Jews. A total of 8,160 Jews are held in the Vel d’Hiv (1,129 men, 2,916 women, 4115 children), and 4,992 single adults and couples without children or with grown children (1,989 men and 3,003 women) are interned at Drancy.
According to a report of the Prefecture of Police, Parisians openly express reproach “for these measures, which they consider inhumane.”
Rothke reports that Darquier de Pellepoix thinks it will be possible to place the 4,115 children in various institutions in Paris and its suburbs. Rothke’s aim is to prevent dispersal of the children in case Berlin accepts Dannecker’s proposal and it becomes possible to begin deporting them, perhaps August 4 or 5. Darquier’s solution is set aside in favor of keeping the children and parents together and moving them to the Pithiviers and Beaune-la-Rolande camps while awaiting Berlins’s decision. Rothke notes that “representatives of the French police have expressed many times the wish to see convoys toward Germany include shildren as well.” Novertheless, if parents and children cannot be deported together because Berlin fails to make an early decition or the children cannot immedieately be accepted to the East, it is understood that the parents will bedeported first. A negative decision on the children’;s deportation isn’t even considered; in the margin of his report Knochen note: “in my opinion [they] can be deported all the same after a decision of the RSHA,” the Main Office for State Security, in Berlin.
The French police representatives, who insistently voice support for deportation of the Jewish children with or without their parents, are led by Leguay, the Vichy police delegate, and the two leading Paris Police Prefecture officials on Jewish matters, Francois and Tulard.
Three considerations weigh in the French police officials’ demand that the children be deported, with their parents or after them.
First, the number of Jews arrested is far short of the German demands accepted by Bousqet and Laval. Between 20,000 and 22,000 arrests were anticipated, but the count of arrested adults in the agreed age ranges yields 8,833 potential deportees. To increase the number, the raids would have to be resumed, though they would be less effective because stateless Jews who escaped arrest would bwe on their guard. The SS expect their schedule for the dispatch of deportation trains to be respected; the French judge it best to give them a suitable number of Jewish heads by adding the 4,000 children. ‘The 13,000 total including the children will still be short of the 22,000 sought, but it will gain time and avert conflict with the Germans. It is clear that if the FGrench insist on deporting the children , the Gestapo will report it and Berlin will know in advance that there will be no official French opposition to the policy.
Second, failure to deport the children would involve the police and the Vichy administration in the material problems of their long term lodging, care and feeding, education, and legal staus. (However, for severlal days, the abomidable treatment of Jewish families in the Vel d’Hiv is proof of the negligence and incompetence of the French officials involved.)
For Leguay, Francois, and Tulard, it is absolutely necessary that the children be deported, If they are not, a problem will be created that will last for years. In addition, if one day the Germans are defeated, these children become adults will ask what has happened to their parents and will demand judgement of the French officials responsible for their disappearance.
The children must be deporteed, and quickly, so that French officials will be involved with them as briefly as possible. In the Loiret camps where the children will be sent, Leguay, Francolis, Tulard, and the Orleans Prefecture all have failed to make preparations for their arrival; nor, in a region that is one of France’s granaries, have they arranged sufficient food for them; nor do they concern themselves with proper hgygiene or health conditions, and many of these 4,000 children very quickly will become ill. Some will find their deaths here in the Loiret within a few weeks and will bhe buried in individual or common graves in local cemeteries. Finally, these officials will deliberately plunge these thousands of children into frightful emotional distress when they separate them from their mothers.
The third consideration that certainly musyt wigh in the French decision is a fear of public knowledge of the coming separation of families. Darquier’s proposal to send the children to shelters in Paris and its suburbs would make it necessary to separate children and parents at the Vel d’Hiv. There are terrible scenes ahead, and it will be less disagreeable to have them played out far away, hidden behind the barbed wire of the Loiret camps. Parisians will have no knowledge of these events, and their compassion for Jewish families will not be reinforced. On returneing home in the evening, Paris policemen will not be talking about the scenes of hysteria they provoke during the day. (When time comes to deport the mothers, French police at the Loiret camps, more or less isolated from the local population, will use their rifle bgutts to separate them from their children and pack them into sealed boxscars. It would be three weeks before boxcars would be sent for the children.)
On July 17, the French police representatives knoweingly and sysytematically sabotage any possibiltity that the children might be saved, including Darquier’s proposal that they be lodged in Paris area children’s homes. Darquier is fanatically anti-Jewish, but he shows more uneasiness at clamoring for the children’;s deportation than the police officials, who, seemingly little touched by anti-Semitic ideaology, surpass even Laval in their cowardice.[54]
July 16-17, 1942: A total of 12,887 Jews of Paris are rounded up and sent to Drancy; in all, about 42,500 Jews are sent to Drancy from all over France during this Aktion.[55]
July 16, 1951: J.D. Salinger publishes the The Catcher in the Rye on July 16, 1951. Today considered one of the 20th century’s top novels, with more than 60 million copies sold, it is also among the most frequently targeted for banning. Salinger dies at 91 in 2010.[56]
July 16, 1969: She returned to San Diego on July 16 and finished out the year sailing from that port on various exercises and training cruises.
Scamp continued stateside duty throughout 1969. [57]
July 16, 1980: Republicans nominate Ronald Reagan.[58]

[29] “By provision of the act [erecting the county of Westmoreland] the courts were to be held at the house of Robert Hanna till a court house should be built. Hanna’s settlement was on the old Forbes road, about thirty miles east of Pittsburgh, and about three miles northeast of the present county town, Greensburg. Robert Hanna, a north-county Irishman, had early opened a public house here, and near him had soon been commenced a settlement prosperous for those times: If we except the region immediately contiguous to Fort Ligonier, and the region about the forks of the Ohio [Pittsburgh], the settlement about Hanna’s wa.s, at this date [1773], the most flourishing in the county. After the courts had been appointed for here, the place was further stimulated. It was the first collection of houses between Bedford and Pittsburgh dignified with the name of town. It, at no time, contained more than perhaps thirty log cabins, built after the primitive fashion of those days, of one story and a cock-loft, in height, with clap-board roofs, and a huge mud chimney at one end of each cabin. These, scattered along the narrow packhorse track among the monster trees of the ancient forest, was that Hannastown, which occupi8ed such a prominent place on the early history of Western Pennsylvania, where was held the first court west of the Alleghany [in oppostition to the tyrannical acts of Great Britain], were passed.” G. Dallas Albert, in Dr. Wm. H. Egles’s History of Pennsylvania, pp. 1153, 1154.
