July 7th, 1534 - European colonization of the Americas: first known exchange between Europeans and natives of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, in New Brunswick. [1]
July 7, 1548: The French king, Henry II, proposed to unite France and Scotland by marrying the young queen to his three-year-old son, the Dauphin Francis. On the promise of French military help, and a French dukedom for himself, Arran agreed to the marriage.[28] In February 1548, Mary was moved, again for her safety, to Dumbarton Castle.[29] The English left a trail of devastation behind once more and seized the strategic town of Haddington. In June, the much awaited French help arrived at Leith to besiege and ultimately take Haddington. On July 7, 1548, a Scottish Parliament held at a nunnery near the town agreed to a French marriage treaty.[30][2]
July 7, 1733: Forty-one Jews settled in the colony of Georgia. Among them were Spanish, Portuguese, German and English Jews.[3]

1734
So far the most likely candidate appears to be the Daniel McKinnon (found in Parish re. LDS film #014303) who was also the father of the REV soldier, an Episcopalian minister who returned to England or Scotland at the time of the REV. Or alternatively, Joseph McKinnon, born 1734 in Scotland, could be the father of our Daniel, Daniel having been born to a first wife. Actually Joseph seems to be the best bet. (Interestingly: some of the children of George D. McKinnon, Joseph's son, were John B., Theophilus A., and Joseph B.)[5]
1734
Joseph R. McKinnon born, Isle of Sky, Inverness-Shire, Scotland. (Died June 22, 1809.)[6]

Captain Nicholas Battaile[10] was justice of Caroline Côunty and married Mary Thornton in 1735.[11] Captain Nicholas Battaile is the compilers 7th Great Grand Uncle.
1735
"About the year 1735 William Hoge removed from Pennsylvania and settled on the Opeckon, about three miles south of Winchester, VA. Opeckon Meeting House stands upon his tract of land. The families of Glass, Vance, Allen, Colvin (possibly Colvill), White and others soon joined him and formed the Opeckon Congregation, the oldest congregation west of the Blue Ridge.
"In about 10 or 12 years of settlement of Opeckon which was 1735 congregation of Irish origin, more or less direct had settled at---etc. NMew Providence in Rockbridge (Co.).[12]
1735: Elizabeth "Deliz" Vance was born in 1735, to Ephraim "Vause" Vance and Theodosia "Hewlings" Vance. She later married Joseph Hatfield. [13]
◾1735:#864 SAMUEL GLASS He married Mary Gamble, a sister of the Major Robert Gamble who settled in Augusta County, Virginia. She also had two brothers that were lost in the Siege of Derry. They had six children. In his old age with his wife, children, and grandchildren he immigrated from a residence near Banbridge, County Down, Province of Ulster, Ireland, in about the year 1735 to America. They landed on the banks of the Delaware River in Pennsylvania. They moved to land in Chester Co, but had to give it up when the original Quaker owners returned. About 1736 they moved to the Joist Hite settlement in the Opeckon Creek area in the Shenandoah Valley, near Kernstown in Orange (now Frederick) Co., Virginia. Their home was at the head of the Opeckon, where it embraced the principal springs that formed a stream of sufficient power to run his mill. He purchased 1600 acres of land that year from Joist Hite and Lord Fairfax whose grants were divided along the Opeckon. Three estates were settled by the families, "Greenwood", "Long Meadows," and "Rose Hill." As of 1926 the latter two were still in the hands of family. Samuel and Mary lived at "Greenwood" where they built a large log building for their residence. The house was covered with wide planks nailed with nails made by the families negro slaves. They were both, very religious, both being dedicated Presbyterians. They are both buried in the Opeckon Church Graveyard. They were neighbors to Joseph Colville (see Colville family), John Wilson (see Marquis family), and James Vance (see Vance family). The information on this family came from Marjorie Diebel of Cincinnati, Ohio, "Glass, Vance, Hoge, and White" by Dr. William Foot, and "Shenandoah Valley Pioneers and Their Descendants" by T.K. Cartmell via 8 Jun 1999. PARENTS??: Some researchers claim that this Samuel descends from a John GLASS b 1618 Banbridge,Co Down,NI d 1692 and m ca 1638 Sarah b 1622 d 1684 all Banbridge??? Also claim Samuel had sister. PEDIGREE: Received 10/26/99 from descendant Oleta Welch stating "We have some Ireland research information which indicates that John Glass and Sarah were the parents of Samuel the Immigrant, but have not had the time to go into it further. All of the information given to us by the researcher was not documented precisely. Cemetery records in Banbridge show John & Sarah Glass, Patrick & Anne Glass, Felix & Catherine Glass who are in the same generation and would seem to be brothers. Some members of the Gamble family are also buried there including the parents of Mary Gamble, wife of Samuel Glass the Immigrant. " EMMIGRATION?: Note from Research done by Diane Hanson (Irish Genie) received Sunday, January 11, 1998 by Hazel Sluga ): " Samuel Glass, born abt. 1680 (?) in Banbridge, County Down, Ireland, emigrated 4 Jun 1734, age 59 (?) from Drogheda, Co Down, Ireland for America, died in Winchester, Frederick, VA, married to Mary Gamble, born abt. 1685 in Banbridge, County Down, Ireland, Emigrated 4 Jun 1734, age 49 from Drogheda, Ireland for America, died after 1735 in Winchester, Frederick, VA...."

Taps as played on the bugle by the United States Army Band
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problems listening to this file? See media help.
"Taps" is a musical piece sounded at dusk, and at funerals, particularly by the U.S. military. It is sounded during flag ceremonies and funerals, generally on bugle or trumpet, and often at Boy Scout, Girl Scout and Girl Guide meetings and camps. The tune is also sometimes known as "Butterfield's Lullaby", or by the first line of the lyric, "Day is Done".
Etymology
The term originates from the Dutch term taptoe, meaning "close the (beer) taps (and send the troops back to camp)". "Military tattoo" comes from the same origin.
History
The tune is actually a variation of an earlier bugle call known as the Scott Tattoo which was used in the U.S. from 1835 until 1860,[1][2] and was arranged in its present form by the Union Army Brigadier General Daniel Butterfield, an American Civil War general and Medal of Honor recipient who commanded the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division in the V Army Corps of the Army of the Potomac while at Harrison's Landing, Virginia, in July 1862 to replace a previous French bugle call used to signal "lights out". Butterfield's bugler, Oliver Wilcox Norton,[3] of Angelica, New York, was the first to sound the new call. Within months, "Taps" was used by both Union and Confederate forces. It was officially recognized by the United States Army in 1874.[4]

Brigadier General Daniel Butterfield
An alternative, and probably more accurate account of the origin of "Taps" comes from West Point and the direct recollections of the bugler himself and General Butterfield. This also explains how bugles were used to communicate to one officer's command. The initial notes of "Taps" identify it as coming from Butterfield, not another commander. As the General writes, the first notes in any bugle call would tell the troops in a particular command to pay attention to it, and then tell them what to do, such as to go forward, stop and lie down, or in this case to go to sleep.[5]
"Taps" concludes many military funerals conducted with honors at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as hundreds of others around the United States.[6] The tune is also sounded at many memorial services in Arlington's Memorial Amphitheater and at grave sites throughout the cemetery.
Captain John C. Tidball, West Point Class of 1848, started the custom of playing taps at military funerals. In early July 1862 at Harrison’s Landing, a corporal of Tidball’s Battery A, 2nd Artillery, died. He was, Tidball recalled later, “a most excellent man.” Tidball wished to bury him with full military honors, but, for military reasons, he was refused permission to fire three guns over the grave. Tidball later wrote, “The thought suggested itself to me to sound taps instead, which I did. The idea was taken up by others, until in a short time it was adopted by the entire army and is now looked upon as the most appropriate and touching part of a military funeral.” As Tidball proudly proclaimed, “Battery A has the honor of having introduced this custom into the service, and it is worthy of historical note.”[7]
It became a standard component to U.S. military funerals in 1891.[4]
"Taps" is sounded during each of the 2,500 military wreath ceremonies conducted at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier every year, including the ones held on Memorial Day. The ceremonies are viewed by many people, including veterans, school groups, and foreign officials. "Taps" is also sounded nightly in military installations at non-deployed locations to indicate that it is "lights out", and often by Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Girl Guides to mark the end of an evening event such as a campfire.
Melody and lyrics
The melody of "Taps" is composed entirely from the written notes of the C major triad (i.e., C, E, and G, with the G used in the lower and higher octaves). This is because the bugle, for which it is written, can play only the notes in the harmonic series of the instrument's fundamental tone; a B-flat bugle thus plays the notes B-flat, D, and F. "Taps" uses the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th partials. [Note: in E-flat this transposes to B-flat, E-flat and G.]

http://bits.wikimedia.org/static-1.21wmf12/skins/common/images/magnify-clip.png
Taps (in the key of C)
There is one original set of lyrics meant to accompany the music, written by Horace Lorenzo Trim:
Day is done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky
All is well, safely rest
God is nigh.
Fading light dims the sight
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar, drawing near
Falls the night.
Thanks and praise for our days
Neath the sun, neath the stars, neath the sky
As we go, this we know
God is nigh.
Several later lyrical adaptations have been created. One, written by Horace Lorenzo Trim, is shown below:
Fading light dims the sight
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar drawing nigh,
Falls the night.
Day is done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the skies
All is well, safely rest;
God is nigh.
Then goodnight, peaceful night;
Till the light of the dawn shineth bright.
God is near, do not fear,
Friend, goodnight.
The other popular version, penned and harmonized by famed composer Josef Pasternack, is:
Love, sweet dreams!
Lo, the beams of the light Fairy moon kissed the streams,
Love, Goodnight!
Ah so soon!
Peaceful dreams!
Another set of lyrics, used in a recording made by John Wayne about the song, is:
Fading light
Falling night
Trumpet call, as the sun, sinks in fright
Sleep in peace, comrades dear,
God is near.
Legends
There are several legends concerning the origin of "Taps". The most widely circulated one states that a Union Army infantry officer, whose name is often given as Captain Robert Ellicombe, first ordered "Taps" performed at the funeral of his son, a Confederate soldier killed during the Peninsula Campaign. This apocryphal[8][9][10] story claims that Ellicombe found the tune in the pocket of his son's clothing and performed it to honor his memory. But there is no record of any man named Robert Ellicombe holding a commission as captain in the Army of the Potomac during the Peninsula Campaign.[11]
That Daniel Butterfield composed "Taps" has been sworn to by numerous reputable witnesses including his bugler Norton,[12] who first performed the tune. While scholars continue to debate whether or not the tune was original or based on an earlier melody, few researchers doubt that Butterfield is responsible for the current tune.
Another, perhaps more historically verifiable, account of "Taps" first being used in the context of a military funeral involves John C. Tidball, a Union artillery captain who during a break in fighting ordered the tune sounded for a deceased soldier in lieu of the more traditional—and much less discreet—three volley tribute. Army Col. James A. Moss, in an Officer's Manual initially published in 1911, reports the following:
"During the Peninsula Campaign in 1862, a soldier of Tidball's Battery A of the 2nd Artillery was buried at a time when the battery occupied an advanced position concealed in the woods. It was unsafe to fire the customary three volleys over the grave, on account of the proximity of the enemy, and it occurred to Capt. Tidball that the sounding of Taps would be the most appropriate ceremony that could be substituted."
While not necessarily addressing the origin of the "Taps", this does represent the first recorded instance of "Taps" being sounded as part of a military funeral. Until then, while the tune had meant that the soldiers' day of work was finished, it had little to none of the connotation or overtone of death with which it is so often associated today.
Non-military variants
Although primarily used within the military, several local or special variations of the tune are performed, primarily by organizations such as the Boy Scouts of America or American military schools.[25]
July 7, 1863 (Lincoln)
“How long ago was it? Eighty odd years. Since on the fourth of July in the first time in the history of the world a nation by its representatives assembled and declared a self evident truth, that all men are created equal. That was the birthday of the United States of America.” …[26]
“Having said this much, I will now take the music.[27]”
Thurs. July 7[28], 1864:
Started at 5 am went to railroad 3 miles
Got on the cars arrived Algiers at 4 pm[29]
Got many troops here[30]
July 7, 1864: Frank and Jesse James: Frank was 19 when he joined, Jesse was 17. The James family was southern sympathizers. As such, they were constantly harassed and eventually robbed of all their material possessions in the name of the Union. Pro-South landowners saw their farms, raided and their crops burned by Federal forces. The James family, one of the most outspoken for Southern rights, bore the brunt of these raids. Frank and Jesse had seen enough and now decided to take action by joining the guerillas.
Cole and James Younger: Cole was 19 when he joined, James was 16. Things were much the same for the Younger family with one big exception. The Younger family was a loyal Pro-Union family. It didn't seem to matter. The boy's father was murdered by a Union officer leading a Union Calvary force. They had followed the elder Younger from a cattle sale in Independence then robbed him and shot him on the trip home. That same year the family home was burned to the ground by Union forces.
Riley Crawford: Riley was 14 years old when he joined. Riley's dad, Jeptha Crawford, was taken from the family home near Blue Springs and shot by Union forces. After her husband was killed, Mrs. Crawford brought her son to Quantrill and asked him to make a soldier out of the boy. Little Riley killed every Union soldier he saw from that point forward.
Bloody Bill Anderson: I will let him describe in his own words why he joined. "Because I would not fight the people of Missouri, my native state, the Yankees sought my life, but failed to get me. Revenged themselves by murdering my father, destroying all my property, and since that time murdered one of my sisters and kept the other two in jail 12 months."
Lexington, Missouri, newspaper July 7, 1864
Bloody Bill was one of the old men of the gang. He was 23. He had a sidekick named Little Archie Clements who was just 16 when he joined. These two were among the most brutal of the guerillas. The reins to Bloody Bill's horse were made of human scalps and Little Archie was famous for scalping and then beheading his victims.
Did you notice that with the exception of Anderson and Quantrill, these are all just teenagers? Can you imagine? These kids, fueled by rage and driven by the pursuit of revenge will wreak havoc on nearly 60,000 Union forces in Missouri between 1861 and 1865. [31]
July 7, 1865: George V was born on June 3, 1865, in Marlborough House, London, as the second son of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Albert Edward and Alexandra. His father was the eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. His mother was the eldest daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark. As a son of the Prince of Wales, George was styled His Royal Highness Prince George of Wales at birth. He was baptised in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, on July 7, 1865 by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Charles Longley.[1][32]
July 7, 1893: At George's wedding in 1893, The Times claimed that the crowd may have confused Nicholas with George, because their beards and dress made them look alike superficially (The Times (London), Friday, July 7, 1893, p. 5). Their facial features were only different up close.[33]

[25] Echo Taps and Silver Taps
Echo Taps is a song traditionally played at American military schools such as Norwich University, The Citadel, NMMI and Texas A&M University when a member or former member of a school's Corps of Cadets is killed in action.
At Norwich University, the ceremony is held on the Upper Parade Ground, where the Corps of Cadets forms up silently at 2245 (10:45PM) for tattoo, and then stand in silence until 2300 (11:00PM) when echo taps is played, at which time unit commanders will tacitly give the commands of attention and present arms. The Regimental Bugler stands either near the flagpole in front of Jackman Hall or on Jackman's balcony and plays the main tune of Taps. The echoing bugler will stand on the steps of Dewey Hall facing the Parade Ground and echo each series of notes. Following the playing of taps, the Corps of Cadets dismisses in silence.
At Texas A&M, Echo Taps is held on the Quadrangle (the 12-dorm complex that is used mainly by the Corps) at 10:00PM the night they find out. For the ceremony the Corps falls out and forms up along the length of the quad, a bugler is posted at the megaphone on the south end and another is at the arches on the north end, cadets salute and the bugler on the south end plays the first 3 notes of Silver Taps the bugler on the north end echoes, the bugler on the south end plays the next 3 notes and is echoed for the rest of the song. Cadets then return to their dorms. By far, one of Texas A&M's most honored traditions is Silver Taps. Silver Taps is held for a graduate or undergraduate student who dies while enrolled at A&M. This final tribute is held the first Tuesday of the month when a student has died the previous month.
The first Silver Taps was held in 1898 and honored Lawrence Sullivan Ross, the former governor of Texas and president of A&M College. Silver Taps is currently held in the Academic Plaza. On the day of Silver Taps, a small card with the deceased students name, class, major, and date of birth is placed as a notice at the base of the academic flagpole, in addition to the memorial located behind the flagpole. Around 10:15 that night, the lights are extinguished and hymns chime from Albritton Tower. Students silently gather at the statue of Lawrence Sullivan Ross. At 10:30pm, the Ross Volunteer Firing Squad marches into the plaza and fires three rifle volleys. Six Buglers then play a special rendition of Silver Taps by Colonel Richard Dunn (Aggie Band Director, 1924-1946). Taps is played three times from the dome of the Academic Building: once to the north, south, and west. It is not played to the east because the sun will never rise on that Aggie again. After the buglers play, the students silently return to their homes. Silver Taps is a sacred tradition that Aggies hold dear. Students return to their dorms, and lights remain extinguished until Reveille the next morning.
At New Mexico Military Institute, "Echo Taps" (otherwise known as "Silver Taps") is played by three trumpets on a night designated by the alumni association. This ceremony is held in the Hagerman Barracks to remember all the alumni who had died of normal causes or KIA that year. This ceremony also includes the lighting and extinguishing of a candle for every alumni of the year. One bugler is posted at the North, South, and West side of the barracks and the candles at the East. After this early "Taps", complete silence marks the rest of the night.
Army Regulation 220-90, Army Bands dated December 2007, Paragraph 2-5h(1) states the following: “Echo Taps” or “Silver Taps,” the practice of performing “Taps” with multiple buglers, is not authorized. “Echo Taps” is not a part of Army tradition and improperly uses bugler assets.
Army Regulation 600-25, Salutes, Honors, and Visits of Courtesy, dated September 2004, Glossary, Section 2 states the following: "Taps The traditional “lights out” musical composition played at military funerals and memorials. The official version of “Taps” is played by a single bugle. In accordance with AR 220–90, “Echo or Silver Taps,” which is performed by 2 buglers, is not authorized."
Field Manual 12-50, U.S. Army Bands, dated October 1999, Appendix A, Official And Ceremonial Music, Appendix A, Section 1 – Ceremonial Music, Paragraph A-35 "A-35. Signals that unauthorized lights are to be extinguished. This is the last call of the day. The call is also sounded at the completion of a military funeral ceremony. Taps is to be performed by a single bugler only. Performance of "Silver Taps" or "Echo Taps" is not consistent with Army traditions, and is an improper use of bugler assets.
Scouting
Many Scouting and Guiding groups around the world sing the second verse of "Taps" ("Day is Done..") at the close of a camp or campfire. Scouts in encampment may also have the unit's bugler sound taps once the rest of the unit has turned in, to signify that the day's activities have concluded and that silence is expected in the camp.

[28] Orders arrived on July 7 for the regiment to return to Algiers, which fueled speculation as to their destination. The Iowans took up the line of march and, as they left Thibodaux behind, few of the men had any regrets. They reached the railroad after a march of only five miles and quickly entrained for Algiers.
