December 20, 69: General Vespasianus occupied Rome on the same day that the Emperor Vitellius was murdered. Vespasianus is better known as Vespasian, the Roman general who was in charge of putting down the Great Revolt in Judea. He broke off his military action to come back to Rome and seize power. His son Titus would destroy the Temple in 70. Before leaving for Rome, Vespasian gave permission for the establishment of what would become the community of scholars at Yavneh.[1]

December 20, 1192: Richard the Lionhearted captured in Vienna. Richard was re turning home after the Third Crusade when he was taken prisoner by Leopold, duke of Austria. Leopold then sold him to the Henry VI, the Holy Roman Emperor. Henry offered to return Richard to his homeland if his brother Prince John paid the ransom. The Jews of England paid 5,000 marks towards the ransom. This was three times the rate paid by the Christian citizens of the realm.[2]

Furthermore, in December 2007, several human skulls with Polynesian features, such as a pentagonal shape when viewed from behind, were found lying on a shelf in a museum in Concepción. These skulls turned out to be originating from Mocha Island, an island just off the coast of Chile in the Pacific Ocean, nowadays inhabited by Mapuche. Professor Lisa Matisoo-Smith of the University of Otago and José Miguel Ramírez Aliaga of the University of Valparaíso hope to win agreement soon with the locals of Mocha Island to begin an excavation search for Polynesian remains on the island.[11]

Geneticist Erik Thorsby and colleagues have published two studies in the peer-reviewed journal Tissue Antigens that evidence an Amerindian genetic contribution to the Easter Island population, determining that it was probably introduced prior to European discovery of the island.[12][13] [4]

1305: Death of Wenceslas II of Bohemia Poland and Hungary, Pope Clement V elected, Giotto paints “Life of Christ” and “Last Judgement”, Edward I standardizes yard and acre, Clement V moves Papacy to France – start of Babylonian Captivity until 1377/8 for next 7 popes, Clement V named Pope (Bertrand de Got Archbishop of Bordeaux) to 1314, Frescoes of Arena Chapel in Padua painted by Giotto William Wallace executed in London, "Babylonian Captivity" (papacy in Avignon) begins Pope Clement V (Bertrand de Got Bordeaux) elected June 5,[5]

1305: William Wallace of Scotland captured and beheaded by England . [6]

Notes for MARGARET DE CRAWFORD:
Brokaw's, Julia Penn, Papers of the Virginia Society, Colonial Dames of America, no. 2166 David Crawford, Burgess of New Kent Co., Va., 1692 states :
"Dominicus de Crawford is said to have been the fifth great-grandfather of Margaret de Crawford, the mother of Sir William Wallace. Her brother, Sir Reginald de Crawford, is claimed to have been the direct ancestor of the Crawfords who settled in Virginia from 'Crawfordonia'." Margaret de Crawford married Sir Malcolm Wallace, they were the parents of Sir William Wallace (1272 - 1305).

Child of MARGARET DE CRAWFORD and MALCOLM WALLACE is:
i. SIR WILLIAM12 WALLACE, b. 1272; d. 1305. [7]

December 20, 1522: Suleiman the Magnificent accepts the surrender of the surviving Knights of Rhodes, who are allowed to evacuate the Isle of Rhodes. Based on references in the Book of the Maccabees, Jews had lived on Rhodes since the second century BCE. However, in 1500, The Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes “expelled all the Jews who did not choose to convert to Christianity” making the Island “Jew Free” for a couple of decades. Suleiman the Magnificent conquered the island “he invited Jews from various parts of his empire to come to Rhodes and start a new community. The Jews that came were Sephardim, the ones who had found refuge in the Ottoman Empire following the expulsion from Spain in 1492. These Jews brought with them their culture, their customs and traditions, one of the cultural aspects was linguistic, the language they spoke was Espanyol, as they called it, also known as a "Ladino" and "Judeo-Spanish" The Jewish Quarter of the city was affectionately known as "La Juderia". Suleiman is also the Sultan who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem and was the patron of Dona Gracia and Joseph Nassi.[8]

December 20, 1757: GW's first expansion of the Mount Vernon property occurred in December 1757, when he bought two pieces of land on the plantation's northern boundary from Sampson Darrell (d. 1777) of Fairfax County: a tract of 200 acres on Dogue Run and an adjoining tract of 300 acres on Little Hunting Creek. The total price of these two tracts was?350, which GW paid with?260 in cash and a bond for?90 due in two years, and in return he received Darrell's bond guaranteeing him title to the land (LEDGER A, 49; bond of Darrell to GW, December 20, 1757, ViMtV). But the official deeds were not immediately signed and recorded in court because the property was held under right of dower by Darrell's mother, Ann, for her lifetime; only after her death would it revert to Darrell as a surviving son. Thus, although GW owned Darrell's rights to the land, he could not obtain the deeds until Ann died or rented the land to him. GW did not have to await her death, because on September 20, 1759 he signed a lease with her and her present husband, Thomas Smith (d. 1764) of Fairfax County, agreeing thereby to pay them 1,030 pounds of tobacco a year until Ann died (lease of Thomas and Ann Smith to GW, PHi: Gratz Collection; LEDGER A, 111). Having recorded the lease on this day, GW was eager to get and record Darrell's deeds, but he was obliged to wait for the May court session (deeds of Darrell to GW, 19--20 May 1760, Fairfax County Deeds, Book D-1, 681--92, Vi Microfilm).

Josiah Johnson[9] to George Washington, December 20, 1769



Decr. 20th. 1769.



SIR!



It is with great Pleasure I ~ew sit down to inform you, that it is now in my Power to contribute my little Mite of Service to one of the gallant Defenders of Ms their Country. Nor shou’d I (however cautious it may be necessary to be in general) have hesitated a Moment to have given my hearty Assent, when you first did me the Honor of applying to me on the Subject of appointing Mr. Crawford Surveyor of ye. 200,000 Acres[10] specified, had I not been apprehensive, that it might intefere with a prior Engagement I lay under to Mr. May. While this doubt subsisted, Col. Washington wou’d, I am confident, have condemned me, if I had entered upon a new Resolution; but it is now totally removed, & he may depend upon my Concurrence.



Sr.!

with great Respect

Your very humble Servant

JOSIAH JOHNSON.


December 20, 1774: On the hearing before Lord Dunmore, he was bound over to appear for trial at a court for Augusta county, Va., to be held at Fort Dunmore on December 20, 1774-The Augusta county court was not opened, however, on December 20, 1774.[11]


December 20, 1780: The 18th of February (February 18) 1781- In a letter dated Wissenstein, 16 November (November 16) 1780, from His Serene Highness, to Lieutenant Colonel Graf, which was received today, Captains Hessenmueller,[12] Neumann, and Bodewere, promoted to major. The first received the grenadier company of the Buenau Regiment.[13]


Possibly Captain (now Major) Hessenmuller is the same Christolph Holzmuller of whom Johnannes Franz Gottlob was the sponsor on December 20, 1780. JG



December 20, 1781



Deed: David Cutlip - 20-Dec-1781
- Greenbrier Co., (W)VA - 240 acres
(with William McClung)[14]



December 20, 1782

Among the number of residents of Fayette County who registered slaves under the requirement of the law of 1780.[15]

Isaac Meason[16]. Female, 30,Vanac; female, 10, Febe; female 4, age not given; male, 22, Jack; male, 13, Joseph; male, 9, Ben; male, 20, Harry; male, 9, Dick.

Mary Meason. Male, 30, Solomon.

Elizabeth. Female, 20 Philis; male, 3, Peter. [17]



December 20, 1785

On Dec 20, 1785, John Crawford and Hannah, his mother leased the “Landing on the Yough” to William McCormick, (husband to Effie, daughter to Hannah and Col. William, sister to Lt. John Crawford). No doubt Effie and her family resided here for quite a awhile, on the home place, with her mother, after her father was killed. One or two of Effie’s children are reputed to have been born here. In 1785, when the above lease was signed, John Crawford, doubtlessly was looking westward. His widowed mother, about sixty two years of age at the time, without the security of a well deserved pension; the lease of her lands to her son-in-law, with her daughter nearby, was possibly the best answer to this situation. John would feel more at ease upon leaving, knowing that his mother was sufficiently cared for.[18]

December 20, 1861: The death of Queen Victoria's beloved husband, Prince Albert, who died from typhoid on December 14, 1861 at Windsor Castle, at the age of 42.

On 20 December, Queen Victoria wrote to her uncle King Leopold of

Belgium:: … to be cut off in the prime of life - to see our pure happy, quiet domestic life,

which alone enabled me to bear my much disliked position, cut off at forty-two

- when I had hoped with such instinctive certainty that God never would part

us, and would let us grow old together ... - is too awful, too cruel![31]

December 20, 1861: Congress establishes a Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War to oversee President Lincoln.[32]

1862 – The hidden divisions in the Nation break out into the open when Ross and a large contingent of his adherents break with the rest of the Nation over their support of the Confederacy during the Civil War and throw their support to the Union. Those remaining in the Cherokee Nation, two-thirds of the number prior to Ross' departure, elect Stand Watie as principal chief, a post Ross had abandoned when he fled to Washington City.[33]

December 20th, 1864: On December 20, 1864: Booth noted that a Catholic priest had come into the prison and "offered all who will go out with him better quarters and more wholesome food." This was a routine visit by a priest and because his offer only applied to Catholics, the prisoners correctly judged him to be a Confederate recruiter in disguise. (Booth. p. 222.)



Mangum recorded in his history of the prison [about 1800 took an oath of loyalty to the Confederacy, and that it was administered by a Catholic priest. Mangum, who characterized these POWs as "the very personification of forlorn wretchedness," assumed that they had taken the oath as "the only means to escape their terrible den." (Mangum, Salisbury Prison, p. 767; see also Booth, p. 764.)

Tuesday, January 18, 2005 (6)

Gary and Jeff Goodlove visit Crawfords Cabin, at Stewarts Crossing, late December 2004. This is where Braddocks army crossed June 28-30, 1755. Crawford must have been struck by the beauty of the area, as he crossed with Braddock’s army, because Stewarts Crossing or as he called it, “Spring Garden”, would soon be his home. The area was preparing for its 250th anniversary of the crossing in 2005.

December 2007: 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.[43]

[15] History of Fayette County, Pennsylvania by Franklin Ellis, 1882.


[16][16] Col. Isaac Meason was an important firure in the early history of Fayette County. He was a Virginian by birth, and as early as the year 1770 came to South wast Pennsylvania. He bough land on Jacob’s reek, and built upon it the Mounty Vernon Furnace. Not long afgterwards he bought the Gist property on Mount Braddock, in Dunbar township, and soonacquiring additional lands took rank as one of the largest landholders in the area. In 1799 he owned upward of six thousand acres. In 1790 he built the Union Furnace on Dnbar Creek, and set up two forges and a furnace on Dunbar Creek from Union Furnace down to the mouth of the creek. At Union Furnace he built a stone grist mill, and for years conducted extensive business enterprises that made him widely known. He owned, also, the lands originally possessed by Col. William Crawford, and in 1796 laid out the village of New HVEN, ON THE Youghiogheny opposite Connellsville. He died in 1819, and was buried on the Mount Braddock estate. His sons were Isaac, George, and Thomas. George lived with his uncle, Daniel Rogers, of Connellsville. Thomas became a resident of Uniontown. Isaac, the best known of the sons, and known as Col. Meason, after his father’s death succeded to his father’s business, and lived for many years at New Haven. His children were nine in number, of whom the sons were William, Isaac, Jr., and Richard. The onluy ones of the nine children now living are three daughters. (Circ. 1882) Two reside in Uniontown, and one in Kansas. Col. Isaac Meason, the youger, was educated for the bar, and practiced in Pittsburgh before making his home at New Haven. His mother died in Uniointown in 1877, aged ninety four.
