August 6, 1284: Genoa defeated Pisa at the Battle of Meloria. This battle took place when Genoa was at the height of period “mercantile expansion.” According to Cecil Roth, “Genoa was on the least hospitable and tolerant of Italian states as far as the Jews were concerned.” Not only did the Genoese not encourage the settlement of Jews, they may have actually actively discouraged them from settling so as to avoid introducing business competitors. There was no organized Jewish community in Genoa at this time and in fact, there may have only been two Jews living there. By the 13th century evidence exists that Pisa did have an organized Jewish community of at least 20 families. There are Jewish tombstones embedded in the town walls that date back to the middle of the 13th century. And a synagogue may have been located on the “Alley of the Jews” during this time.[6]
1285: Blood libel in Munich, Germany results in the death of 68 Jews. 180 more Jews are burned alive at the synagogue.

1285-1319: William de Montacute, 2nd Baron Montacute
William de Montacute (also known as Montagu), 2nd Baron Montacute (c. 1285–1319) was an English nobleman and courtier of King Edward II.
He was the son of Simon de Montacute, 1st Baron Montacute in 1299 (1250–1316/1317) and either Simon's first wife Hawise, or his second wife, Isabella.[1] The Montagu family was a West Country family with roots going back to the Conquest, who held extensive lands in Somerset, Dorset and Devon.[2]
Montacute distinguished himself in the Scottish Wars of Edward I, and served as steward of the household of Edward II. Certain members of the nobility, including Thomas of Lancaster, viewed Montacute with suspicion, as a member of a court party with undue influence on the king.[1] For this reason he was sent to Aquitaine, to serve as seneschal. Here he died in October 1319.[1] He married Lady Elizabeth de Montfort (b. 1271) and was succeeded by his son William, who was closely associated with Edward III, and was created Earl of Salisbury.[3]

August 6, 1301(5061): Rabbi David ben Avraham Maimuni HaNagid passed away. Known variously as David Maimuni or Rabbi David Hanagid, this Rabbi was the grandson of the Rambam He was born in 1233 and followed in the footsteps of his grandfather and father as Nagid or "Prince" over the Jewish congregations in Egypt. He was an ally of the powerful Rabbi of Barcelona, Solomon ben Abraham Ben Adret known as Rashba. In 1285, when those who opposed Rabbi Hanagid sought to depose him, Ben Adret supported his declarations of excommunications. An interesting legend has grown up around the Hanagid concerning these attacks. According to the legend the embattled Rabbi prayed at the cave of Meron in Eretz Yisrael. This cave was also known as the cave of Rabbi Hillel and Shammai. Supposedly its waters had magical powers. When cold water issued forth from the cave in response to the Rabbi’s prayers, he excommunicated five hundred of his opponents. On that day the five hundred who had slandered him in Egypt died. Surely a legend like that would have greatly troubled his rational and compassionate grandfather. Hanagid was scholar. For those of you have read Pirke Avot, you might remember Hillel’s comments about a floating skull. Maimonides' grandson, Rabbi David Hanagid, cited a tradition handed down by "the early ones" that the floating skull belonged to none other than Pharaoh himself. Hillel therefore told him: "Because you commanded that Jewish children be drowned in the Nile, you were drowned." It was specifically Hillel who confronted Pharaoh's skull, since as a reincarnation of Moses he was fit to confront Pharaoh.[10]
1302: Pope Boniface VIII (1294-1303) sat on the papal throne. He enriched his relatives at the expenxe of the Chuirch, and both his personal relatives at the expense of the Church, and both his personal character and orthodoxy were repeatedly called into question. Philip IV, King of France, called for a council to judge Boniface on charges of “heresy, blasphemy, murder, sodomy, simony and sorcery (including consorting with a familiar spirit or pet demon), and failure to fast on fast days.” He is reputed to have claimed that “sex with boys and women was no worse than rubbing one hand against another.” A notorious libertine, he once had a married woman and her daughter as his mistresses. E”ven more disturbingly, he was said to have called Christ a “hypocrite,” professed to be an atheist, rejected the resurrection, and claimed the only heaven and hell were here on this earth. In 1302 Boniface issued the bnull Unam Samnctum which outrageously claimed that “it is altogether necessary for salvation for every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.”[11] Death of Florentine painter Cimabue, Anglo-Scot truce, First meeting of French States General, Dante exiled from Florence, Papal bull “Unam sanctam” re-asserts papal supremacy, Dominican John of Paris defies authority of papacy, Battle of Courtrai (Golden Spurs or Kortrijk) Burghers of Flanders defeat the flower of French chivalry and save country from French occupation, Papal Bull Unam Sanctam declares papal authority to be supreme, French Knights defeated at Courtrai by Flemish, Fall of Ruad - Crusaders expelled from Holy Land, Territorial expansion of Muscovy, French knights defeated by Flemings at Courtrai, second Papal Bull against Philip of France.

WASHINGTON TO IRVINE.
HEADQUARTERS, August 6, 1782.
Sir: — I have to acknowledge the receipt of your two letters of the 1st and 11th of July; the former containing the plan of a proposed expedition, on which you mention you are solicited to take the command, and covering a copy of your letter to the secretary at war[25] on that proposition. I have not given you my ideas on this expedition, as the plan, if adopted, must have began its execution before my letter would have reached you. If attempted, I can only give you my good wishes for its success.
I lament the failure of the former expedition, and am particularly affected with the disastrous fate of Colonel Crawford.[26] No other than the extreme tortures that could be inflicted by savages, I think, could have been expected by those who were unhappy enough to fall into their hands; especially under the present exasperation of their minds, for the treatment given their Moravian friends. For this reason, no persons, I think, should, at this time, submit themselves to fall alive into the hands of the Indians.[27]

August 6, 1787: On July 24, a committee of five (John Rutledge (SC), Edmund Randolph (VA), Nathaniel Gorham (MA), Oliver Ellsworth (CT), and James Wilson (PA) was elected to draft a detailed constitution. The Convention adjourned from July 26 to August 6 to await the report of this "Committee of Detail". Overall, the report of the committee conformed to the resolutions adopted by the Convention, adding some elements.
From August 6 to September 10, the report of the committee of detail was discussed, section-by-section, and clause-by-clause. Details were attended to, further compromises were effected. Toward the close of these discussions, on September 8, another committee of five (William Samuel Johnson (CT), Alexander Hamilton (NY), Gouverneur Morris (PA), James Madison (VA), and Rufus King (MA). was appointed “to revise the style of and arrange the articles which had been agreed to by the house.”[28]

The Account of Theophilus Mckinnon
August 6, 1880,
To the Members of the Pioneer Association:
"When I learned of the proposed
meeting of pioneers to be held near Springfield this month, my
great wish was that I might be one of the number there
assembled: but circumstances are such as will prevent my
attendance. I have some recollections of the early days and
doings in this region, which I will give to the meeting on
paper, if I cannot give them in person. I was born in Harrison
Co., Ky., in Nov., 1795. My father, with part of his family
came to Ohio in the fall of 1802, and settled on Buck Creek
north of Springfield. At that time I was sick and unable to
come, so father left me with my mother and younger children in Kentucky
until the next spring, when he returned and brought us to Ohio.
Thus, it will be seen, my residence in Ohio is as old as the
State itself. On our way up to where my father had selected a
home, we passed through Dayton, then a small town; through what
was called Tapman's Prairie, and crossed Mad River at old Indian
town. This river my mother said, was certainly rightly named,
for it was such a rapid stream. Three men -- David Lowry,
Jonathan Donnell and John Denny -- lived near there. We stopped
overnight with My. Denny. Donnell afterward hung himself. We
again crossed Mad River, and continued on our way up to Buck
Creek. The first man we met was Robert Renick, and soon
afterward we met Col. William Ward, a leading man of that day,
and afterward Clerk of the Court at Urbana. One day, soon after
we settled on Buck Creek, and father and the older boys were
away from the house, four Indians -- two young men and two old
ones -- came to our house and called for their dinners. Mother
provided a dinner for them, and while they were eating she asked
one of the young men if they were at the burning of Col.
Crawford. He said that the two of the older ones were. She
then told him that Col. Crawford was her grandfather. When he
notified the other ones of that fact they all immediately
stopped eating and appeared somewhat alarmed; but she told them
to go on with their eating and not be uneasy. She then asked
them if they could tell her about the death of Maj. Harrison.
They told her that he had been squibbed to death with powder at
Wapatomica, near Zanesfield, Logan Co. She then told them that
Harrison was her father. This report fully corroborated one
given by a man named Trover, I think, who was a prisoner at the
same time with Maj. Harrison. He said he had seen Harrison's
body black and powder-burned.
Another Indian trouble was in the time of Gov. Tiffin. He was advised of coming trouble and he sent word to Tecumseh at Wapakoneta to meet him at council at Springfield, with eighty warriors. The picked men of the (Sha---) tribe. I remember one of them in particular, a man by name of Goodhunter who had formerly camped near our house, when on a hunting expedition. He was a fine a specimen of perfect physical man as I ever saw. The council was held and the pipe of peace was smoked. The following incident occurred in connection with the smoking: A Dr. Hunt had a clay pipe and Gov. Tiffin used it for the occasion. When he had filled the pipe and started it, he passed it to Tecumseh who looked at it a moment, and then throwing it away he brought forth his tomakawk-pipe, and after starting it handed it to Gov. Tiffin. I heard Tecumseh's speech as he made it through an interpreter, and I never heard a finer orator than he appeared to be. The first merchants in Springfield were two Frenchmen named Dubangh and Lucroy. They had their goods in a log cabin between what is now Limestone and Market streets, an Main streets, on Main street. Their goods were better suited to the Indian trade than to any other. When they left, a man by the name of Samuel Simington came on with a stock, and he built the first frame house in Springfield, on the southwest corner of Limestone and Main streets, where Baldwin's building now stands. Siminton afterward sold out to Pierson Spining and went to New Carlisle, and built mills on Honey Creek. The first tavern-keeper was Griffith Foos, who kept on the corner of Main and Spring streets. He had one border for several years that I remember very well. He owned a great deal of land around there. He was a fine looking man, wearing very heavy black side whiskers, but having a head of hair as white as snow. He always took special pains to keep his hair and whiskers in order. The first camp meeting held in that region, and the first one I ever attended, was held about where the County Infirmary now stands. It was conducted by two brothers named Thomas and Richard Clark. They were nicknamed "Newlights." Their hearers got the jerks, both men and women, and kept on jrking until they were exhausted. One Jack Eeles, said to have been the wickedest man in that county, went to one of their meetings drunk, making fun of them and claiming that their jerking was all a sham. But the jerks got hold on Jack and got him down and would not let fo of him. He became so exhausted that his friends had to carry him home. Jack afterward went into the army, was in the war of 1812, and was killed at the battle of Lundy's Lane, in July, 1814. (July 25) My father was the first settler on Buck Creek, (---) Lagonda. He planted the first apple orchard in that part of the country, and some of the trees were still standing a year or two ago
James Shipman was the first tailor in Springfield. Walter Smallwood was the first blacksmith. Cooper Ludlow was the first shoemaker. James (---), the proprietor of Springield, lived in a double log cabin which stood on the hill opposite Barnett's mill, near where the public school building now stands.
I never saw but two deformed Indians. One of these had no under jaw. The other one, called Bateast, had a monster of a nowe. If you wish to see how his nose appeared, just take a common-sized turnip, cut it in two, and place a half on each side of a large raddish, and then you can see Bateast's nose.
He and his brother-in-law, Roundhead[35], and Goodhunter all went off and joined the British army and never came back. Roundhead lived at a little town now called Roundhead, in the southwest corner of Hardin County. Bateast's home was at a place a few miles west of Roundhead, then called Bateasttown. In 1803 or 1804, Congress passed a law donating 3 per cent of all money received from sale of lands for use on roads. This donation was called the 3 per cent fund. One Capt. Moore and his brother Thomas, in 1805 took a contract to open a road from Franklinton to Springfield. When they got within a few miles of Springfield with the road, they made a frolic of the job, and invited all the people around to come and help tem, so they might go into Springfield in one day. The people turned out and put the road through in one day and that night they had a big super and ball at Foos', which was a grand affair. There was great rejoicing that the road was done.
Thomas Moore drove the first hogs East from this region. He bought (--) drove from the people on credit. He bought some from one lady named Nancy Reed, promising to bring her a silk dress patten from Baltimore as payment for her hogs. He drove his hogs to Baltimore, but as his expenses on the trip were more than the original cost of the hogs, he lost money, and could not pay in full for the hogs when he got home. But he brought Nancy her silk dress and she had the honor of wearing the first silk in this part of the country, and at the same time, the satisfaction of getting payment in full for her hogs, a thing which nobody else could say. But Moore paid all a proportional part, and promised the remainder as soon as he could get it. It was several years before he made payment of these debts, but he did it after he got back from serving with Hull in his campaigns. He had saved enough out of his wages to cancel his hog debts. Moore lived and died on the farm where he first settled.
During the first years of our life there, there was only one company of militia in all that region now comprising Clark, Champaign and Logan Counties, so thinly was it populated. My fathers's place was the usual drill ground and I knew every man in all that territory. By 1812, the country was so well settled that there were nine companies, commanded by the following Captains: Black, McCord, Vance, Barrett, Lemon, Cox, Kiser, Stewart, and one other whose name I have forgotten. Nearly sixty years ago, I helped to survey
all the islands in the Mississippi River from the mouth of the
Des Moines River to the mouth of the Illinois. In my early
days, I crossed the Alleghany Mountains twelve times on
horseback. In my early days, I crossed the Alleghany Mountains twelve times on horseback. As may be known from a statement of my birth, I am nearly eighty-five years of age, and was four years old at the death of George Washington. My health is tolerably good. At times I feel very well, and at other times somewhat feeble. Some years ago, my eyesight began to fail, and for the last ten years I have been entirely blind. I claim to be the first man who named "Honest Old Abe" for President. I lacked but a few days of being old enough to vote at James Monroe's first election in 1816. My first vote was for Monroe in 1820, at his second election, when he received the entire vote of the Electoral College, less one.
My votes for Presidents have been as follows: 1824 Adams; 1828 Clay; 1832 Clay; 1836, Harrison; 1840, Harrison; 1844, Clay; 1848, Taylor; 1852, Scott; 1856, Fremont; 1860, Lincoln; 1864, Lincoln; 1868, Grant; 1876, 1872, Grant; 1876, Hayes; and in 1880 I hope to vote for Garfield, which would make me sixteen Presidential votes.
Respectfully, Theophilus McKinnon."

The routine telex to Eichmann and Auschwitz was composed by SS Heinrichsohn and signed by his superior, Rothke. It stated that convoy 901/32, transporting 1,000 Jews, left Le Bourget/Drancy on September 25 at 8:55 AM for Auschwitz, under the supervision of Feldwebel Poller. It also indicated that among the deportees was film producer Nathan Tannenzapf ((see sublist 3), deprived of his French citizenship by the French government.

At 7:09 that morning, a weather reconnaissance plane passed overhead and radioed back: "Cloud cover less than three-tenths. Advice: bomb primary." That is, the sky was clear enough to drop the first nuclear weapon used in war. The lack of cloud cover sealed Hiroshima's fate, and spared the back-up target. Shortly after 9:15 Captain Tibbets released the bomb, codenamed, “Little Boy”. 15 seconds later it exploded over Hiroshima. An estimated 70,000 are killed instantly. Tens of thousands more are maimed and wounded. Ultimately, more than 100,000 people are killed. [44]

A new genetic map paints a comprehensive picture of the 2,000 or so years in which different Jewish groups migrated across the globe, with some becoming genetically isolated units while others seemed to mix and mingle more.
The new findings allow researchers to trace the diaspora, or the historical migration, of the Jews, which began in the sixth century B.C. when the Babylonians conquered the Kingdom of Judah. Some Jews remained in Judah under Babylonian rule, while others fled to Egypt and other parts of the Middle East. Jewish migrations have continued into the present day.
The study researchers found that the genomes of Jewish North African groups are distinct from one another, but that they show linkages to each other absent from their non-Jewish North African neighbors. The findings reveal a history of close-knit communities prone to intermarriage, said study leader Harry Ostrer of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
"Virtually all the Jewish groups we've studied tend to be quite closely related to one another," Ostrer said. "It would seem for most Jewish groups, there is a biological basis for their Jewishness which is based on their sharing of DNA segments."
Tracing Jewish genetics
Ostrer and his colleagues have been studying the genetics of Jewish groups throughout Europe and the Middle East, both to reconstruct the history of the religion and to investigate diseases such as the genetic disorder Tay-Sachs that disproportionately affect this population. In 2010, the group reported on the genetics of seven European and Middle Eastern populations. The new study, published today (August 6) in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, expands the findings to a total of 15 groups, with the newest additions from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and the island of Djerba.

The researchers worked with local communities to get volunteers to offer blood samples for genetic analysis. The current study analyzed the genes of 509 unrelated North African individuals, comparing them across groups. Similar work has been done linking ancient Israeli and Syrian people to Ethiopia.
The results revealed close relations between North African and European Jews, Ostrer said. The researchers also found two distinct groups of North African Jews, one comprised of Libyan and Tunisian Jews and the other of Moroccan and Algerian Jews. These groups were more likely to share DNA segments than other Jewish groups, indicating more shared genetic history.
"I like to think of Jewishness as a tapestry with these DNA segments representing the threads that weave the tapestry together," Ostrer said. Non-Jews can convert to Judaism, but membership in the group is also passed down along a matrilineal line, meaning Jewishness straddles the line between religion, ethnicity and culture.
A history of migration
The findings tended to track with what is known of the history of the Jewish Diaspora, or spread of the Jewish people, through North Africa. For example, there was evidence of gene-sharing between North African Jews and non-Jews, but generally not recently, the researchers found.
"This tends to fit the historical observation that during Islamic times from roughly the eighth century to roughly the 20th century, there was limited intermarriage between Jews and non-Jews," Ostrer said.
Among Moroccan and Algerian Jews, there was evidence of some mixing with the Sephardic Jews who trace their roots to the Iberian Peninsula. Again, the genetic results back up the known history of Sephardic Jews leaving Spain and Portugal, with some settling in Morocco and Algeria.
The findings help create a "comprehensive view of what the Jewish Diaspora was like," Ostrer said. Major times of movement included the classic period of Greek and Roman dominance, when Jewish groups migrated out of the Middle East and into Europe and North Africa, converting locals and intermarrying along the way. A second major migration occurred after the Spanish Inquisition in the late 1400s and early 1500s, a time when Jews and Muslims were ordered to convert to Catholicism or leave Spain. [10 Myths of Medieval Torture]
The most recent movement began in the late 1800s and continues today, with immigration to the United States, Israel, Canada, Australia and South Africa, Ostrer said.
The United States and Latin America tend to be a "melting pot" of genetics, Ostrer said — 50 percent to 60 percent of American Jews marry someone of a different religion or ethnicity — but the "Old World" genetics of European and North African Jews are helpful in understanding certain diseases.
In these populations, people married within their communities and even within their own families for centuries, allowing studies on relatively few people to be extrapolated more widely throughout the population. In a similar example, researchers recently found a gene that protects against Alzheimer's disease in Icelandic populations. Those results were reported July 21 in the journal Nature. The same sort of research is possible in Jewish populations, Ostrer said.
"It represents an extraordinary resource that is much harder to do, for instance, in the European-American population, because there has been such a melting pot occurring there," he said.

[17] Cornstalk. Keightughqua/Hokolesqua. The name translates as "blade of corn." A Shawnee chief in the Mekoce clan. Date of birth—c1720. Killed November 10, 1777 at Fort Randolph on the Ohio River along with his son and two other Shawnees. He is believed to have been born and raised in eastern PA and moved to the Ohio Country sometime after 1730.
He participated in the French and Indian War on the French side and led several incursions into western PA. After that war he sided with Chief Pontiac against the settlers and in 1763 was taken by Colonel Bouquet and held as a hostage to assure Indian compliance with the terms of the peace treaty.
During Lord Dunmore’s War (1774) when Cornstalk and his Shawnee were living around Chillicothe on the upper Scioto River, representatives from VA Governor Dunmore came and informed them that Kentucky was no longer Indian territory but now belonged to VA. Cornstalk attempted to stay neutral and sent emissaries up to Fort Pitt to complain to Indian agent Alexander McKee. It was in the interest of the Americans to keep Cornstalk and his people in a neutral status—particularly due to his positive influence on the hostile Delaware.
The killing of Chief Logan’s relatives and Logan’s revenge killing in PA of thirteen settlers set off Dunmore’s War and Cornstalk’s active participation.
Cornstalk and forces at Point Pleasant were driven across the Ohio and into negotiations that were to see the Shawnee agree to surrender all prisoners and promise not to attack settlers travelling on boats on the Ohio River. Cornstalk abided by the treaty for the rest of his life, but other Shawnee did not.
In September 1777 Cornstalk received a black wampum belt from George Morgan and couldn’t figure-out its meaning; therefore, he sent envoys to Fort Randolph (Point Pleasant) for an explanation. Captain Matthew Arbuckle at the fort arrested the two envoys as spies and jailed them. Cornstalk’s son, Elinipsico, went to get the envoys and was told that they would deal only with Cornstalk himself. Cornstalk arrived and was immediately jailed with his son and the two envoys. When two soldiers were killed outside the fort on November 11, 1777, militia Captain James Hall entered the jail with his men and killed Cornstalk, his son, and the two envoys. Killing envoys that have come to discuss matters of peace and war was a breach of conduct beyond anything the Shawnee could accept. They then took up the hatchet along with the Delawares and others committed to war against the American colonists.

"Chief Cornstalk. In this monument rests the remains of Keigh-tugh-qua, better known as Cornstalk to the early settlers and frontiersman. Chief Cormstalk was well known and respected by the white settlers and Indian tribes on the Ohio Valley. As chief of the Shawnees and head of the Northwestern Confederated Tribes, Cornstalk decided to make peace with the white man. However, he was forced to lead the attack on the "Long Knives" at the Battle of Point Pleasant on October 10, 1774. Although he survived the battle, he died just three years later."

[18] Bushy Run. The Battle of Bushy Run. August 4-6, 1763. Near the beginning of Pontiac’s Conspiracy, Colonel Henry Bouquet, with 400 British troops, was marching to the relief of Fort Pitt when he was ambushed by a force of Indians near a stream named Bushy Run. The Indians were Shawnee, Delaware, Seneca, Wyandot, Ottawa, Miami, and others. Bouquet sent a reinforced advance unit up over a small hillside (Edge Hill) where they drove the Indians back before retreating and forming an improvised "flour-sack fort."

"This Ligonier blue rock placed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to mark the site of 'Flour Bag Fort' during the Battle of Bushy Run."
Darkness brought a lull in the fighting. The two sides resumed fighting the next morning and the Indians found themselves pursuing what they thought was a retreating enemy. The British, once over the hill, had made a 90 degree turn to the right and ran up a depression until they were directly on the Indian’s right flank. After firing a volley at the side of the Indian force, Major Donald Campbell and his Highlanders locked their bayonets on their muskets and charged the Indians who turned and ran for a mile with the Scots in hot pursuit.
This type battle produces high casualties—and it did—on both sides. Bouquet’s force took about 50 killed and sixty wounded. The number of Indian casualties is uncertain with estimates from the twenty dead found on the field to as many as 60 counting those carried away in the retreat. One of the Delaware leaders, Kikiuskung (also Keekyuscung), was killed as was his son—Wolf. Some sources believe the Seneca, Guyasutha, was the Indian leader, while others point to another Seneca—Mud Eater (Gaustarax). A few Indians returned to continue the battle, but were chased-off by the Highlanders.

"Bushy Run Battlefield. British and Americans under Col. Henry Bouquet defeated the Indians here, August 5-6, 1763, during the Pontiac War, and lifted the siege of Ft. Pitt.
"Administered by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission."
"Bushy Run Battlefield has been designated a Registered National Historic Landmark under the provisions of the Historic Sites Act of August 21, 1935. This site possesses exceptional value in commemorating and illustrating the history of the United States.
"U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. 1963."
The question as to who won the battle is debatable. As Bouquet gathered his troops together and moved on to Fort Pitt, it was a wounded body with scant provisions. After they reached Fort Pitt, Bouquet sent some troops back to Carlisle because he couldn’t feed them at the forks. The Indians, on the other hand, succeeded in stopping Fort Pitt from being resupplied, but they suffered losses so great that a siege of Fort Pitt was now out of the question. Some books centering on this period omit much mention of the Battle of Bushy Run. Others point to the considerable Indian casualties and make the argument that the numbers were beyond anything the Indians could tolerate, and in that respect the battle was of great importance.
In the spring of 1764, Delawares attacked a schoolhouse near Greencastle (PA) and killed the teacher and nine students. British North American commander Major General Thomas Gage sent Bradstreet on an expedition along Lake Erie to pacify Indians in that area while Bouquet was sent to Ohio along the Muskingum River.
A reenactment of the battle is held each August at Bushy Run State Park on the Saturday and Sunday closest to the August 4-6 dates.
The site of The Battle of Bushy Run is approximately 20 miles east of Pittsburgh and eight miles south of US 22. Bushy Run is about half-way between Fort Ligonier and Fort Pitt (Pittsburgh). Bushy Run Creek feeds into Brush Creek and then into Turtle Creek to the Monongahela near the site of the Battle of the Monongahela.

[25] See Irvine to Lincoln, July 1, 1782, Appendix B.
[26] In a letter addressed by Washington to President William Moore, of Pennsylvania, dated July 27, 1782, is this reference to Crawford: “It is with the greatest sorrow and concern that I have learned the melancholy tidings of Col. Crawford’s death. He was known to me as an officer of much care and prudence, brave, experienced and active. The manner of his death as given in letters of Gen. Irvine, Col. Gibson, and others, was shocking to me; and I have this day communicated to the honorable, the congress, copies of such papers as I have regarding it.”
Col. Crawford, before starting upon the Sandusky expedition, made his will, as follows:
“In the name of God, amen. I, William Crawford, of the county of Westmoreland, and state of Pennsylvania, being in perfect health of body and sound memory, do make, ordain and constitute this my last will and testament, in manner and form following, that is to say: I give and bequeath unto my much beloved wife, Hannah Crawford, all that tract of land whereon I now live, situate, lying and being on the river Yonghiogheny, in the county and state aforesaid, during her natural life. I do also give andbequeath unto my said wife one negro man named Dick, and one mulatto man Daniel; also all my household furniture and stock of every kind and nature whatsoever, for and during her natural life, and after the decease of my said wife, the above mentioned negroes, Dick and Daniel, to descend to my loving son, John Crawford, and after his decease, to the heirs of his body lawfully begotten.
“I give and bequeath unto my loving son, John Crawford, and his heirs lawfully begotten, five hundred acres of land to be laid off out of lands located down the river Ohio by me, to be laid off by my executors, reserving to my son the choice of said lands, and also the tract of laud whereon I now live at Stewart’s Crossings, at the decease of my said wife, Hannah, and at the decease of said son, John Crawford, to descend to his son, William Crawford, and his heirs forever; but if he die without heirs, then and in that case to descend to his ‘next oldest brother. And I do give and bequeath unto Moses Crawford, son of the above said John Crawford, and to his heirs forever, four hundred acres of laud, to be laid off out of my lands located down the river Ohio as before mentioned.
“I do give and bequeath unto Richard Crawford, son of the above said John Crawford, and to his heirs forever, four hundred acres of land, out of, and to be laid off as above mentioned. I do give and bequeath unto Anne McCormick, daughter of William and Effe McCormick, four hundred acres of land, to be laid off as above mentioned. Also I do give and bequeath unto Anne Connell, all that tract of land whereon she now lives, lying and being on the north side of Youghiogheny river, about two miles from said river and on Braddock’s old road, together with all the stock of every kind whatsoever, and all the household furniture and farming utensils now in her possession, for and during her natural, life; and after the said Anne Connell’s decease, my will is and I do hereby ordain that the said land, goods and chattels of every kind whatsoever be sold by my executors and the money arising therefrom be equally divided amongst her four children, to-wit: William, James, Nancy and Folly; but nevertheless, in case the said Anne Connell should think it more proper that the two boys, or either of them, the said William or James, should keep the said land, etc., that then and in that case the said lands, goods and chattels of every kind be appraised, and one equal fourth of the said appraisements be paid to the other children as they may arrive at the age by law affixed, or the survivor of them.
Also, I do give and bequeath unto William Connell, son of the said Anne Connell, and his heirs forever, five hundred acres of land located by me down the Ohio river, there being a warrant for that quantity in his name from the land office, Virginia. I also give and bequeath unto James Connell, son of the said Anne Connell, and his heirs forever, five hundred acres of land down the river Ohio, there being a warrant for that quantity in his name, which was also located by me as above mentioned, as soon as they arrive at full age. Also, I do give and bequeath unto Nancy and Polly, daughters of said Anne Connell, six hundred acres of land located by me down the river Ohio, to be equally divided between them by my executors.
And my will is that after my accounts are adjusted and settled and all my just debts and legacies and bequeaths paid, that all and singular my estate, real and personal, of every kind whatsoever (except a mulatto boy named Martin, which I give to my son John Crawford, and a mulatto girl named Betty, which is to continue with my wife Hanhah), be equally divided between my three beloved children, viz.: John Crawford, Efle McCormick and Sarah Harrison, and their heirs forever. And I do will, constitute, and appoint my much beloved wife, Hannah Crawford, my loving brother, John Stephenson, and William Harrison, executrix and executors of this my last will and testament, ratifying and confirming this to be my last will and testament.
“In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affix my seal this sixteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-two.
“W. CRAWFORD. [SEAL.]

The Wyandots, led by Chief Roundhead had a prominent village on the banks of the Scioto in the location of present day Roundhead. Chief Roundhead was an important ally of Tecumseh, and as Tecumseh’s “enforcer” was helpful persuading” various Indian tribes to unite under Tecumseh and fight against aggression by the white man. Chief Roundhead signed the Greenville treaty as leader of the Wyandots. En.wikipedia.org
