August 15, 1561:Mary Queen of Scots sends Lord Henry Stuart

of St. Colme to Elizabeth. [1]



August 11, 1586: After being implicated in the Babington Plot, Mary Queen of Scots was arrested while out riding and taken to Tixall.[195] In a successful attempt to entrap her, Walsingham had deliberately arranged for Mary's letters to be smuggled out of Chartley. Mary was misled into thinking her letters were secure, while in reality they were deciphered and read by Walsingham.[196] From these letters it was clear that Mary had sanctioned the attempted assassination of Elizabeth.[197][2]

August 11, 1634: Seventeen arrests were made by the Inquisition after a man turned another man in for being "unwilling to make a sale on Saturday," and for not wanting to eat bacon.[3]

Sunday August 11, 1754:

George Washington writes a letter to his friend William Fairfax criticizing Lt. Governor Dinwiddie's plan to resume operations against the French in the Ohio country and complaining of a lack of men, supplies, and funds for the undertaking. "... you will perceive what great deficiencies there are of Men, Arms, Tents, Kettles, Screws (which was a fatal want before), Bayonets, Cartouch-Boxes, &c, &c... the chief part are almost naked, and scarcely a man has either shoes, stockings, or hat. The Lt. Governor proposed that the Virginia Regiment destroy the corn fields of the Indian village of Logstown. Washington wrote, "At this question I am a little surprised, when it is known we must pass the French fort {Ft Duquesne} and the Ohio to get to Log-town; and how this can be done with inferior number {of men}". [4]



George Washington to Robert Stewart, August 11, 1758



Camp at Fort Cumberland, August 11, 1758.



My dear Stewart: I am sorry to transmit an Order that will give you pain; but must nevertheless tell you, that the following came in a Letter from Col. Bouquet[5] to me last Night.



“As our Troop of light Horse is too much harrass’d by continual Service; I desire you will send me half of Captn. Stewarts Troop, with one or two of his Officers, as you may think necessary to take care of them.”



As the Col, gives me a discretionary power to send one or two, one must be his Lot; and that I think shou’d be your Cornet; as Mr. Crawford is appointed to the Troop pro-tempore only, he shou’d be put to little Inconvenience.



It will be scarce worth your while, to confine yourself with the other half of the Troop; I shou’d be glad therefore to have your Company at this place, as I think you may Trust to Mr. Crawfords care; however, in this case, pursue your own Inclinations.



Your Letter to Majr. Halkett got to Rays Town in less than 24 hours after you writ it. I shall appoint no Person to do Brigade Majrs. Duty till I hear more from that Gentleman, as you may be assur’d in this, as in all things else, I have the strongest inclination to serve you; being Dr. Stewart with most unfeigned truth. Y’r Affect’e Friend, etc.[6]



August 11, 1772: Following the partition of Poland which gave the Russians a large, unwanted population, Catherine II whom the Boyars call “Great,” issued an order that read, “Jewish communities residing in the towns, cities and territories now incorporated in the Russian Empire shall be left in the enjoyment of all those liberties with regard to their religion and property which they at present possess.”[7]

1772: The situation radically changed as the result of the first division of Poland in 1772 when the Jewish population of Russia suddenly grew by 200,000, which made it the largest concentration of Jews in Europe. Many more Jews became part of the Russian empire after the later divisions of Poland. Jews had migrated from west to east during the Middle Ages, despite the resitance of the Catholic church in Poland, and had found there a safe haven. They were of considerable use to bothe the monarchy and the nobility as traders and as the representatives of absentee landlords, managing feudal estates as leaseholders. [8]

August 11, 1775 – Captain Stephenson’s troops arrived in Cambridge. Both companies arrived with hopes of being the first to present demonstrate their eagerness in response to Washington’s call. General Washington is said to have been very pleased and somewhat emotional as he welcomed his old friends.[9]

Friday, August 11th, 1775. Last night Miss G[10]. came. A fine blooming Irish Girl. The Flesh overcame the Spirit.[11]



1785 - August 11 - By orders of the Board of Property (September 15, 1784 and March 7, 1785), a survey was made for Benjamin Harrison pursuant to a Certificate granted by the Commissioners from the State of Virginia, entered February 4, 1780 - 290-3/4 acres and 6% allowance for roads, etc., on the Youghiogheny River below the mouth of Dickinson's Run in Franklin Township, Fayette County, Penn.[12]

August 11, 1804: Francis II assumed the title of first Emperor of Austria. When it came to his Jewish subjects, Francis and his chief minister, Metternich followed in the footsteps Maria Theresa and not the more liberal Joseph II. During his reign ghettos were set up in Austria. Jews were not allowed to settle in the province of Tyrol. Stringent restrictions were placed on where Jews could live in Bohemia and Moravia. In Vienna, a special tax was placed on all Jews who entered the capital. While the Emperor “ennobled a few Jews” he “humiliated” the remainder of the population. Jewish marriages were restricted to the eldest son or those who had enough money to pay large bribes to the appropriate officials.[13]

August 11, 1812: Thomas Lewis Preston (b. August 19, 1781 / d. August 11, 1812) [14]

August 11, 1862: Battle of Independence, Missouri

Shortly after Sim Whitsett joined Quantrill, another Confederate Colonel, John T. Hughes, entered Jackson County to raise enough men to attack Independence, Missouri. Union forces under Lt. Colonel James T. Buel held Independence, located a few miles east of Kansas City. Colonel Hughes believed that if he could capture the town and its 300 man garrison it would help gain recruits for the Confederate Army and give southerners a much needed victory in Missouri. Hughes raised a large Confederate Stars and Bars battle flag near Lee’s Summit, well within sight of Independence. The Union Army he hoped to alarm and the men Hughes hoped to draw into camp largely ignored it. He was successful in gaining only 75 men for his efforts. Lacking the troops he needed, Hughes sent a request to Col. Upton Hayes and Quantrill to join him in attacking Independence. On August 10, 1862 Col. Hayes and Quantrill with 300 largely untrained recruits and twenty-five of Quantrill’s veterans joined Hughes at Lee’s Summit. Colonel Hughes now had a force of 400, large enough to attack the town.

The Union commander Lt. Col. Buel was an arrogant man and believed that if the rebels dared attack Independence his trained soldiers could easily repel them. He even refused to believe a lady named Mrs. Wilson who tried to warn him of the large Confederate force preparing to attack the town. He would soon pay for his arrogance with his career and was very lucky not to have paid for it with his life.

Buel failed to prepare for the battle. He spread his troops around town in vulnerable positions. Most of the soldiers were in an open tent camp half a mile from the town center. Buel made his quarters in a large brick building in the middle of town and he put his Headquarters Guard Company in a building across the street. Another squad of men was located in the city jail building. Buel went to bed on the night of August 10 without alerting his troops to a possible attack, completely ignoring the warnings of wise Mrs. Wilson, dismissing her as a hysterical woman. The captain of the guard company was a little brighter than Buel and ordered his men to keep their weapons beside their bunks when they went to bed.

The day before the attack Colonel Hughes was unaware of Buel’s stupidity. He asked Quantrill to send spies into town to scout out the situation. Cole Younger was one of those spies, dressed as an old woman selling apples. Cole was able to bluff his way into town but on his way out a sentry challenged him. Younger rode on as if he had not heard the order to halt. The sentry attempted to grab the reins as Younger spurred his horse and Cole drew his revolver and shot the sentry dead. He galloped headlong down the street with several Yankees after him but he escaped. This story first appeared in author John Edward's account of the battle, but some historians claim it is a fiction concocted by Younger years later during his days with a Wild West show. Whether the story is true or not, it dates from no later than 1877 when Edward's account of the battle was published in "Noted Guerillas." If this event actually happened, it did nothing to persuade Buel that anything was afoot.

Col. Hughes instructed Quantrill and his men to spearhead the attack and cut Buel off from his troops. Quantrill wanted very much to capture and kill Buel and he agreed to the plan. Hughes told Quantrill that the main force would be right behind Quantrill’s men. While Quantrill kept Buel bottled up down town, Hughes’ troops would attack the tent camp just outside of town.

Early in the morning of August 11, 1862 just before the sun rose, Quantrill and his men galloped into Independence with Hughes’ 400 men right behind him. Quantrill and his band took the Federal guards on the street completely by surprise and killed them all. The rudely awakened soldiers in the barracks grabbed their weapons and started firing from the second story windows. Quantrill’s men, dressed in Union blue, as they often did, shouted for the guards to stop firing, they were shooting at their own men. Deceived, the captain of the guards led his men outside to see what was causing the commotion. This was a bad mistake. After his men were out of their barracks, the captain recognized one of the guerrillas and ordered his men to recommence firing. Bullets smashing through his bedroom windows had awakened Buel. Seeing his guards in the street, he shouted at them to cease firing and take shelter in the bank building. They did so, but now they were trapped in the brick bank building surrounded by bloodthirsty guerrillas with no avenue of escape. Quantrill’s men pelted the building with constant pistol fire. They shot out the windows and into any spot that appeared vulnerable. Quantrill’s men had completely cut off Buel from his main force, allowing him no way to communicate with his soldiers outside of town.

Meanwhile, George Todd took his squad, including Sim Whitsett, up the street to the city jail. The soldiers in the jail fired one volley at the approaching guerrillas and then ran for their lives. Todd broke open the doors of the jail and let out all of the prisoners. He discovered that one of the incarcerated men was town marshal Jim Knowles who was in jail on suspicion of killing a town drunk in an unfair gunfight. Todd hated Knowles. He had been a part of a group that had ambushed Todd and two friends earlier that year, killing the two friends. Todd murdered Knowles in cold blood, emptying his revolvers into the man. Then Todd’s men found in the hotel the Union officer responsible for the setting the ambush for Todd. The guerrillas shot the officer, mutilated the body and kicked it down the hotel stairs. During his short life of violence, George Todd never let the chance for revenge to escape him.

After a gunfight of more than an hour, Quantrill was getting impatient with Buel. Unable to take the building Quantrill’s men set fire to an adjoining structure and then told Buel to surrender or burn to death. Buel immediately produced a white flag. He offered to surrender to Colonel Gideon Thompson, the Confederate officer in charge of Quantrill’s group, if he and his men would be treated as prisoners of war and paroled. The Confederate officer agreed and promised not to turn Buel and his soldiers over to Quantrill, who would have certainly killed them all. A few weeks later the Union Army mustered out Buel and his soldiers, but not before Buel faced withering criticism by his peers and superiors, some of whom wanted him court-martialed.

About a half mile from town, Colonel Hughes was fighting the main body of Union soldiers. They had taken up defensive positions behind a stone wall and were impossible to dislodge. John McCorkle in his memoirs stated that he and his brother Jabez, both Quantrill men, were part of the force that attacked the tent camp, which confuses the issue of how Hughes actually employed Quantrill’s men during the battle. It was not until after word of Buel’s surrender reached them did the Union men give up. The captured Union troops were all paroled and left Independence within a few days. The Union Army mustered them out under the terms of their parole. For the first time Independence was in the hands of the Confederates. This was a stunning blow to the Union Army in Missouri. Fear spread like wildfire. If a guerrilla force could capture a town as large as Independence, who in western Missouri was safe from them? Once again, Quantrill’s reputation grew, even though he played only a small part in the winning of the battle. His capture of Buel helped make him a legend among the suffering southerners of western Missouri. According to Edwards, among the guerrillas who distinguished themselves at Independence were Harrison Trow, William Gregg, Cole Younger, Sim Whitsett, Fletch Taylor, George Maddox, Press Webb, Dan Vaughn and a host of others.

Confederate Soldiers

After the battle, Quantrill and his men separated from the main force of the Confederate army and moved to a farm a few miles from the town of Lone Jack. There, on August 15, 1862 Colonel Gideon Thompson officially swore Quantrill’s men into the Confederate Army. Sim Whitsett gave his date of enlistment as August 12, 1862 in Company E of Shelby’s 2nd Missouri Cavalry commanded by Upton Hayes. However, the official date was August 15, the day of this swearing in ceremony rather than the day after the Battle of Independence. Had he given a date a few days before the battle, I would say that he was one of Upton Hayes’ regular recruits before he became a guerrilla. Because he gave a date of enlistment after the Battle of Independence, I am certain that he joined Quantrill rather than the regular Confederate Army in August 1862.

After the War, many of Quantrill’s Raiders gave their dates of enlistment as between August 11 and 15. Most claimed to be members of a Missouri Cavalry unit under General Jo Shelby. There are no surviving records to substantiate most of these claims. This is probably because General Shelby destroyed most of his records at the end of the war to prevent retribution by Union authorities against the Missouri men who rode with him. It is very likely that he was especially sensitive to the records of former guerrillas. A similar claim of Confederate service by Cole Younger is controversial with some historians who insist, because of the lack of records, that he was never a Confederate soldier. We must be careful about giving too much weight to the latter argument. I personally believe that these men were officially sworn in to the Confederate army and probably were given a designation as a unit of cavalry. From August 1862 until the War’s end, the Confederate Army was technically responsible for the actions of Quantrill and his men. Confederate soldiers or not, the regular Confederate military soon found that it had little or no control over Quantrill and his band.

As was the custom of the Confederate Army during the early part of the Civil War, Quantrill’s men elected their officers soon after their swearing in ceremony. They elected William Quantrill as Captain; William Hallar as First Lieutenant (Hallar soon left the band), George Todd as Second Lieutenant. and William Gregg as Third Lieutenant.[16]

McCorkle, John + Quantrill Survived war

B. December 12, 1838, 2 miles east of Savannah, Andrew County, MO. Joined Quantrill August 11, 1862. Because he was one of the few men who had a rifle, he was made scout and sniper. Most often, he rode with the

Todd group. After the war, he returned to his home county and

worked on the farm of a relative. His memories were dictated to a

writer, who took the information as it was given. McCorkle died

August 11, 1905: Ransom E. Smith (b. October 4, 1831 in GA / d. August 11, 1905 in GA)[23]



August 11, 1915: The time was certainly less than propitious for generating support to build a new school in Hopkintonh, even if the Hopkinton district did gain access to a larger tax base through consolidation. To many, the choise seemed to be between keeping Lenox afloat and consolidation. Although there was support for consolidation in the No. 8 subdistrict of Union Township, Buck Creekers had voiced their opposition to including any of the other Union Township subdistricts in a new Hoipkinton district. In addition, considerable opposition was anticipated from most of the subdistricts of South Fork Township. Nevertheless, the Hopkinton board thought the issue should be put to a vote. They prepared and circulated the appropriate petitions, secured the approval of the county superintendent, and scheduled the election for August 11, 1915.[24]



August 11, 1915: The proposition lost and lost badly. It even failed to obtain a simple majority of the total vote. The vote tally was 80-69 in the Hopkinton district and 43-76 in the area outside. According to Mrs. Reeve’s column the next week, “The consolidated school proposition which has been engrossing the attention of our people for some time, was put to death Wednesday bhy the voters of the districts involved. Opposition was based mainly upon the basis of taxes.” One informant recalled that on election day, a large party of men and boys from a neighborhood east of Hopkinton were threshing and “after dinner the whole thrashing crew got up and went and voted against it, every last one of them.” [25]



August 11, 1919: The Weimar Republic's first Reichspräsident ("Reich President"), Friedrich Ebert of the SPD, signed the new German constitution into law. The Weimar Republic marked Germany’s first experience with a truly democratic government. It failed for lack of popular support and would give way to Hitler’s Third Reich. One of the excuses offered for German support the Holocuast was that Jews were associated with the founding of the Weimar Republic and the Weimar Republic was viewed as a humiliation saddled on the Germans by the Allies at the end of World War I. The logic is tortured, but it is neither the first time that people would rationalize and justify their anti-Semitism. [26]



August 11, 1920 W. A. Ottilie, the Delaware County superintendent, set August 11, 1920, as the deadling for his receipt of “objections to the boundaries or to the formation of the district.” He received four petitions protesting the formation of the district. Two of these were filed by Protestant landowners residing in, but also owning several other farms in, the northern half of subdistrict No. 6 in Hazel Green Township. Their objections centered on the microgeography of the proposed district’s boundaries. They were concertned that most of the farmland they owned was included in the district while the farmhouses occupied by their tenants were not. In short they objectyed to paying taxes, the benefits of which were denied to their tenants. The other two petitions were more substantial.Twenty four men signed the first one. They constituted a majority of the heads of household in each of three subdistricts, Hazel Green No,. 6 and No. 7 and Union No. 4. In addition, five persons signed from the No. 1 subdistrict (even though their farms were no longer in the propsed district), two from No. 2 (Upper Buck Creek), and even two from No. 3 (Buck Creek).

All told, forty one persons officially protested the formation of the district in writing. Twenty nine of these were Catholics. Of the twelve Protestants signing petitions protesting the formation of the sitrict, nine lived in predominantly Catholick neighborhoods. Catholic parnts did voice their skepticism about the success of the community building program of the Buck Creek Church. Although they probably would bhave preferred to to so, they fcould not protest the formation of the district on the three grounds that troubled them most. First, that they would be turning the control of their childrens education over to a Methodist community that had shown no sensitivity to the wishes of Catholic families. Two, that the Buck Creekers had failed to repudiate the anti-Catholic activities of the Ku Klux Klan in the area. Three, thqat the proponents of consolidation had included predominantly Catholic neighborhoods in the proposal soley because they needed the additional tax base to build their consolidated school. Instead, they protested the formation of the district on the politically more acceptable grounds of cost, fiscal responsibility, propert value deprecitiation, and the poor condition of the roads over which children could need to be transported.

Although consolidated schools were to become the social centers of new rural communities, those in positions of power at the state level considered the issue of how these communities might actually be constituted geographically as irrelevant in the delimitation of consolitdated distri cts. This permitted the taxing power of the state to be harnessed to the community building efforts of sectarian groups, even if these efforts had the effect of undermining the viability of otrher communities, including preexisting rural neighborhoods. The school consolidation laws had been designed to encourage the closing of country schools and to foster the building of a different kind of school forfarm children. The law was silent on what kind of community these new schools wouold serfve. They would remain “local” in some sense; apparentyly not as local as the traditional rural neighborhood based on routine, but intensive, face to face social interaction. In 1920 not everybody in the Buck Creek area certainly not Catholics was ready for the new kind of community being constructed by the Buck Creek Methodists.[27]

August 16, 1920: Ottilie dutifully heard the objections to the Buck Creek proposal on August 16. After “a careful review and investigation of the merits of all claims and objections,” giving “due regard for the welgfare of adjoining districts and being fully advidsed in the premises,” he overruled them. Ottliewas concerned about whether the proposal met the letter of the law. It did, and he approved the boundaries as they had been specified in the petition filed by the Buck Creekers.” Apparently the tone and tenor of the hearing gave those filing objections no hope that an appeal to the county board of education could meet with success. Ottilie informed the objectors that they and any others who felt like them could more effectively voice their protest by voting against the proposal at the upcoming election. If as many people in the area were opposed to the plan as was claimned by the objectors, then the issue would be defeated.[28]



August 11, 1921: On August 11, 1921, the Manchester Press reprinted another letter critical of consolidation. This one was from Wallace’s Farmer. It was written by a farmer living in the New Providence consolidated district in Hardin County who had had children in the consolidated school every year since it opened in 1913. He was very critical of his children having to endure being transported 4.75 miles to school in unheated wagons and sleds, often being gone from home from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. He proclaimed that “these conditions are the things that cause farmers to fight consolidation…. It is mighty poor business to spend a hundred thousand dollars for a schoolhouse and then thousands more for a faculty; then mpose such horrible conditions on the farmer’s children that they can not be in condition to receive instruction.” He recommended that if consolidation was to be forced on the farmer, then the state should set standards for school buses to assure their safety and comfort. Finally he recommended that the state outlaw large districts. Finally he recommended that the state outlaw large districts. “The state should be redistricted into districts of sixteen sections each, allowing the patrons of each new district to say whether they shall consolidate or continue to use their four small schools” He added:



This will get us away from one of the evils of the present system. At the present time, some small poverty stricken town will need a new school house, and they can’t raise sufficient money to build what they want. So they begin to work for consolidation, with a view of forcing the famrers of the community into building the schoolhouse for them, or paying for at least 90 percent of it. Redistrict the state, and the small town folks can have the kind of school they want if they can pay for it, and the farmers can have their own schoolds and control them…[Farmers] want the system that will give our children the greatest opportunities with as few hardships as possible, and at the least possible cost.



The reprinting of these letters seems to have been sparked by consolidation controversies in the Lamont and Masonville areas west of Manchester. Like the Buck Creek controversy, both of these had become politicized locally as struggles between Catholics and Protestants over who was to control the public schools. What is more important, however, they indicate that the local press was finally willing to give consolidation opponents a forum to voice their concerns. The Buck Creek controversy certainly helped pave the way for this change in policy.[29]



September 8, 1921: As the summer of 1921 wore on and crop prices dipped still lower, more and more farmers in Delaware County began to wonder if perhaps rural school consolidation was indeed a “huge and expensive joke” on them. IN short, rural school consolidation was recognized as having the potential for rending asunder rural neighborhoods and undermining the spirit of neighborhood cooperation upon which family farming had always depended. In early September, the Manchester Press also printed a syndicated piece by the Chicago Tribune describing the dramatic impact of falling corn prices in the Midwest. It noted that corn in Nebraska was fetching only 28 cents a bushel and was expected to fall to less than 25 cents once the new crop entered the market. Oats were down to 18 cents. With coal prices going up, “famres will be burning corn to keep warm in the coming winter.” The combination of internecice conflict over consolidation and the collapse of the farm economy had finally led theManchester Press, the county’s leading newspaper, to question whether rural school consolidation was worth the cost. “In some districts the tax figures are as high as $7 per acre…Are we not in danger of making our rural educational faciilites such a burden to the patron as to become insupportable? … It is a serious question with us if we are not going to extremes in this consolidated school business,” wrote the editor.[30]



August 11, 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.[31]



August 11, 1942: An assistant to Eichmann, Rolf Gunther, answers Ahnert’s August 11 telex. As to the meaning of “adequate proportions” of children to be deported, Gunjhther specifies that the children “can be distributed little by little on the anticipated convoyus in the direction of Auschwitz. However, in no case must a transport made up exclusively of children be sent off.”



August 11, 1929: A protest in London led to a public declaration by a member of the Zionist Commission that Jewish rights were bigger than the status quo, a statement which encouraged in turn Arab suspicions that local agreements were again being overthrown by Jewish intrigues abroad. News that the Zurich Congress, in creating the Jewish Agency on August 11., had brought unity among Zionists and the world Jewish community, a measure that would greatly increase Jewish investment in British Palestine,[63] set off alarm bells. [32]



August 11, 1941: Department at 31 bis Avenue Foch. Taiking part in this working session are Dannecker; Rothke, who keeps the minutes of the meeting; and Leguay and his staff chief, Thomas Sautsx. (This will be Dannecker’s last official action in the Jewish Affairs Department; he being transferred and will continue his work in Bulgaria, Hungary, and norther Italy.) [33]



August 11, 1942: Rivesaltes, 395 names. The places of birth are not indicated. There were no children. From this camp there were (among a few others) 279 Germans, 76 Poles, and 24 Austrians. They came from the convoy which had left Rivesalotes on August 11 for Drancy, carrying 400 internees: 163 women, 229 men, and 8 children. [34]

August 11, 1950: Ethel Rosenberg was arrested and then Morton Sobell, a Russian diplomat, was arrested about six days later after being deported from Mexico. The five were arrested on charges of involvement in a spy-ring which sold atomic weapons secrets to the Soviet Union. The alleged spy-ring operated in this manner: David Greenglass, working as a machinist at Los Alamos, New Mexico during the development of the atomic bomb, imparted secret sketches and drawings to Harry Gold. In turn, Gold delivered these to Julius Rosenberg who yielded them to Martin Sobell. Greenglass and Gold pleaded guilty, but the Rosenbergs and Sobell did not.

A controversy ensued over the guilt or innocence of the Rosenbergs, a debate that has continued to this day. Some asserted that the Rosenbergs were victimized by anti-Semitism. Some believed that the Rosenbergs were merely scapegoats for the Korean War (the judge all but blamed the couple for the Korean War). Despite mixed public opinion, the prosecution achieved victory after only fifteen trial days and one day of jury deliberation. [35]

August 11, 1978: Martial law was declared in the city of Isfahan after riots lasted all day. The Information Ministry said four people had been killed and 66 injured. The rots were led by orthodox Muslims protesting against the government’s liberalization program.[36]

I reveal what I had learned that year about what the Cohen Model haplotype is, and how my father, Gary Goodlove, had been tested to see if we had the same gggg grandfather as Ray Godlove. For the record and for those who do not know the Goodlove family, we have been a Christian family back to our earliest known ancestor, our ggg grandfather Conrad Goodlove, born 1793.

[5] Bouquet. Henry(Henri) Bouquet. 1719-1765. (boo-KAY). Born in Rolle,Vaud, Switzerland (French-speaking section). A Swiss soldier of fortune with experience in the Dutch army, Sardinia, the Swiss Guards, and then the British army in 1756 as a lieutenant colonel.



South Bouquet Street. Pittsburgh. Oakland.

Served as a lieutenant colonel under Forbes in the taking of Fort Duquesne in 1758. Bouquet was Forbes’ field commander. Promoted to colonel in 1762 and then brigadier general in 1765. In August 1763 while leading a force of two Scotch regiments and a battalion of Americans (approximately 460 men), fought and won the Battle of Bushy Run. (See Bushy Run—below.)

In 1764, he led a column of 1,150-1,500 troops west from Fort Pitt into Ohio to the confluence of the Muskingum River (present-day Coshocton, OH) where he met with the Ohio Indian Chiefs Guyasutha, Custaloga, Tamaqua and others, demanding all prisoners they held be returned to his authority, or he would direct his troops to exterminate all Indians in the area. The final total on returned prisoners was 363. Some returnees were children born of settler women captured and adopted by Indians. These children knew nothing of the settler civilization. Although a good count does not appear available, a considerable number of those taken back to Fort Pitt are known to have “escaped” and to have gone back to their Indian families. The Shawnee were particularly hesitant to surrender their adoptees and displayed a creative flair inventing reasons for not meeting return agreements.

The Delaware, Shawnee, and Seneca were to deliver up “all the Prisoners in (your) Possesion, without any Exception, Englishmen, Frenchmen, Women, and Children, whether adopted in your Tribes, married, or living amongst you, under any Denomination, or Pretence whatever.” The demand was not ambiguous.

Most historians portray Bouquet’s march into Ohio as a victory. Others credit the adventure as no more than a draw. The Indians chose not to physically resist; the risk was too great. Of the prisoners surrendered, the ones preferring the Indian culture largely found a way to return. On the trip returning from Ohio to Fort Pitt, several of the young boys being repatriated had their arms bound and tied in a chain to stop them from attempting to escape. Those opposing the Indian culture, stayed with the settlers—but probably would have found a way back to the colonials at another time. Rather than being classified as a victory or defeat, the conflict conclusion might best be considered an armistice.

"Bouquet's Expedition - 1764. Lt. Col. Henry Bouquet with 1500 British regulars and American militia penetrated the Ohio wilderness to crush Chief Pontiac's Indian conspiracy. Here at the forks of the Muskingum River during October and November, Bouquet subdued the Delawares, Senecas, and Shawnee without firing a shot, secured the freedom of every colonial captive, and obtained promises of peace—a feat unequaled in colonial American history.

"The Ohio Historical Society. The Coshocton County Historical Society."

After the campaign, Bouquet went to Philadelphia where he was greeted as a conquering hero. London promoted him from colonel to brigadier general. He was reassigned to Florida where he contracted yellow fever and died (Pensacola—February 1766). A military “what-if” question of some interest is—what if Bouquet had stayed in the British military, lived, and have led British forces during the Revolutionary War—would the outcome have changed? Many thought Bouquet was the best field commander in North America. Before arriving in North America Bouquet had fought a guerilla war in the alpine region of northern Italy. He floated the idea of importing English bloodhounds to hunt-down Indian raiders of farms and villages. With his "outside-the-box" thinking the Revolutionary War might have turned-out differently.

(See Blockhouse, John Forbes, Major James Grant, and Pontiac.)

[10] It appears to me (Karen Garnett) that John Crawford was first married to Frances Bradford, and she died in PA, prbably by 1778. John then married Effie, though official record was lost. She is probably the vivacious Miss Grimes always about the Crawford household in 1775. In 1797 in Adams County, John, for legal reasons had to prove his identity, and Effie is then registered as his wife. It is also possible that there was a common law marriage here, since Col. Wm. in his will makes special mention of "heirs lawfully begotten." Emahiser seems to think that they married as early as 1767. (Ancestors of Forrest Roger Garnett Page 454.7.)
