This Day on December 24…
December 24, 1166: Birthdate of King John of England. King John is known to history as the brother of Richard the Lionhearted whom he followed to the throne in 1199. He is also the monarch who was so rapacious that the English nobles banned together and forced him to sign the Magna Charta, which placed limits on the power of the King. John’s record in dealing with the Jews was uneven, to say the least. Since Jews fell outside of the norms of the feudal world of the Middle Ages, special provisions were needed to deal with them. Two years after coming to power, King John issued a special charter guaranteeing the rights of the Jews while he reigned as long as they conformed to all laws and decrees i.e. provided a steady flow of funds to the royal treasury. In essence, the Jews were “the king’s possession” to do with as he pleased. So this same King John, when he needed more money, imprisoned several wealthy Jews in a castle at Bristol in 1210 and held them until they paid a ransom of 66,000 marks. John’s son followed his father’s pattern of behavior in dealing with the Jews. His grandson would expel the Jews from England after squeezing them of all their financial value.[1] John of Lackland is the compilers 24th great grandfather.

John (December 24, 1166 – October 18/19, 1216), also known as John Lackland (Norman French: Johan sanz Terre),[1] was King of England from April 6, 1199 until his death. During John's reign, England lost the duchy of Normandy to King Philip II of France, which resulted in the collapse of most of the Angevin Empire and contributed to the subsequent growth in power of the Capetian dynasty during the 13th century. The baronial revolt at the end of John's reign led to the sealing of the Magna Carta, a document sometimes considered to be an early step in the evolution of the constitution of the United Kingdom.
John, the youngest of five sons of King Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine, was at first not expected to inherit significant lands. Following the failed rebellion of his elder brothers between 1173 and 1174, however, John became Henry's favourite child. He was appointed the Lord of Ireland in 1177 and given lands in England and on the continent. John's elder brothers William, Henry and Geoffrey died young; by the time Richard I became king in 1189, John was a potential heir to the throne. John unsuccessfully attempted a rebellion against Richard's royal administrators whilst his brother was participating in the Third Crusade. Despite this, after Richard died in 1199, John was proclaimed King of England, and came to an agreement with Philip II of France to recognise John's possession of the continental Angevin lands at the peace treaty of Le Goulet in 1200.
1167: In 1167 a second invasion failed, again due to the support of the Crusaders, for above all else the Crusader kingdom could not abide a united Egypt and Syria. So desperate was this crisis soncidered in the Crusader kingdom that any baron refusing to heed the sums forfeited 10 percent of his income. Two further invasions faltered.[2] Death of Ibn Ezra the Jewish Bible commentator, Oxford U founded, Frederick Barbarossa crowned emperor, Almalric king of Jerusalem captures Cairo, Genghis Kahn (Temujin) born, Oxford U. [3]
December 24, 1294: Pope Boniface VIII is elected Pope. In 1298, four years after Boniface came to power, 628 Jews are killed after a priest Nuremberg, Germany, spreads a story that Jews drove nails through communion hosts, "thereby crucifying Christ again". There are those who hold Boniface accountable for this murderous act, if for no other reason that it took place during his “undistinguished” papal rule.[4]
In 1295, when money was needed to wage war against Philip of France (who had confiscated the duchy of Gascony), Edward summoned the most comprehensive assembly ever summoned in England. This became known as the Model Parliament, for it represented various estates: barons, clergy, and knights and townspeople. By the end of Edward's reign, Parliament usually contained representatives of all these estates. Edward used his royal authority to establish the rights of the Crown at the expense of traditional feudal privileges, to promote the uniform administration of justice, to raise income to meet the costs of war and government, and to codify the legal system.
In doing so, his methods emphasised the role of Parliament and the common law. With the able help of his Chancellor, Robert Burnell, Bishop of Bath and Wells, Edward introduced much new legislation.He began by commissioning a thorough survey of local government (with the results entered into documents known as the Hundred Rolls), which not only defined royal rights and possessions but also revealed administrative abuses.

[6]
December 24, 1491: Birthdate Ignatius of Loyola, Spanish founder of the Jesuit order. Loyola was born one year before the Jewish expulsion from Spain. He lived during a period dominated by the Inquistion and Church sanctioned anti-Semitism. “It is accordingly much to their credit that the Jesuits were firmly opposed (particularly under Ignatius and his first three successors as Superior General of the Jesuits) to ecclesiastical anti-Semitism and to the Inquisition's persecution of suspected Jews. When Ignatius was accused of having partly Jewish ancestry, he replied, ‘If only I did! What could be more glorious than to e of the same blood as the Apostles, the Blessed Virgin, and our Lord Himself?’”[7]

It also mentions in the property description "... William Darrell and his wife Ann, the daughter of Col George Mason." The land originated in a land grant to Thomas Standiford in 1703/4, referred to in "Beginning at a White Oak: Patents & Northern Neck Grants," (1977), by Beth Mitchell.[18]
December 24, 1776: von Donop moved his entire force south, pushing the colonials through Mount Holly at the Battle of Iron Works Hill and onto the opposite side of the Rancocas Creek. On Christmas Eve (December 24), the colonials retreated a few miles to Moorestown. Von Donp's officers wanted him to return to Bordentown, within easy supporting distance for Rall. Von Donop had nothing but contempt for Rall and decided to spend Christmas in the company of "a beautiful young widow" - as reported by his Captain of Jagers, Johann Ewald. There is some speculation, but no proof, that the "beautiful young widow" was Betsy Ross. [2][19]

FORT PITT, December 24th. 1777
SIR—When I wrote you last, I acquainted you of my intention of visiting Fort Randolph. You will find by the enclosed letters from Capt. Arbuckle that before my arrival there he had confined some Shawanese Indians, & his reasons for so doing. On the IOth. ulto., the day I left this post to go to Kanawha, three men, one of them an ensign of the Bottetourt Militia. straggled over the Kanawha to hunt. The Ensign was killed & scalped within a small distance of the fort, which exasperated the militia to such a degree that a party of them rushed into the fort, & put the Cornstalk, his son, the Red Hawk’s son, & another Indian to death, notwithstanding Capt. Arbuckle’s endeavors to prevent it. From this event we have little reason to expect a reconciliation with the Shawanese, except fear operates on them; for if we had any friends among them, those unfortunate wretches were so. Though from information brought me from the Seneca country, which Lt. Col. Gibson has already communicated to you, we have little reason to expect that will be the case. * * *
Col. Wm. Crawford has arrived.[20] I hope his activity and influence will have a very good effect. If Major John Stephenson[21] could have any appointment worth his acceptance, I think he also would be a valuable acquisition. I wish much to be permitted to lay my proceedings here before Congress. I assure you that I have fully exerted my poor abilities to accomplish the end fOr whch I was ordered here, yet am sorry to say that little advantage has arisen from it; & unless some other measures can be fallen on, I have little reason to promise myself better success for the time to come.
I think that as it is now winter, & Col. Crawford present, my absence for some time would not be attended with inconvenience. If Congress have no particular objection, would esteem it as a most singular indulgence to be recalled & suffered to join the grand army, with them to share the honors & fatigues of the field. Indeed, unless our affairs will admit of the assistance of a regular force, I had rather resign my office than continue here in command of militia.
Capt. Willing[22] had arrived here a few days before my return from Fort Randolph. I have in the best manner I could supplied him with such things as he wanted, but am afraid the river will be shut up before he gets away. * * *

•The Treaty of Ghent (8 Stat. 218), signed on December 24, 1814, in Ghent (modern day Belgium, then in limbo between the First French Empire and United Kingdom of the Netherlands), was the peace treaty that ended the War of 1812 between the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The treaty largely restored relations between the two nations to status quo ante bellum. Because of the era's slow communications, it took weeks for news of the peace treaty to reach the United States, and the Battle of New Orleans was fought after it was signed though before it was ratified.
Agreement
On December 24,1814, the members of the British and American negotiating teams signed and affixed their individual seals to the document, which once ratified by their respective governments, ended the war of 1812.[1] The treaty released all prisoners and restored all war lands and boats, resulting in several changes. Returned to the United States were approximately 10,000,000 acres (40,000 km2) of territory, near Lakes Superior and Michigan, in Maine, and on the Pacific coast.[2] American-held areas of Upper Canada (present-day Ontario) were returned to British control. The treaty made no major changes to the pre-war situation, but Britain promised to return the freed black slaves encouraged during the war to escape to British territory. In practice, a few years later Britain instead paid the United States $350,000 for them.[3]
The British proposal to create an Indian buffer zone in Ohio and Michigan collapsed after the Indian coalition fell apart. [4][40]

Maj. Gen. J. A. EARLY,
Commanding Forces in Valley of Virginia:
GENERAL: Having had a thirty days' leave of absence in my pocket since the 7th instant, and my reasons for going home being very urgent, I will leave in the morning. I have remained here on duty for the past two weeks because I believed my knowledge of the country would be of essential service to the country; but as you are now in a region well known to yourself, this peculiar advantage no longer attaches to my services, and I know that I leave my brigade in the hands of a highly competent officer, Col. George H. Smith, of the Sixty-second Regiment, who will handle the troops certainly as well, perhaps better than I could do. If in pursuit of supplies you have to go to Hampshire County, or send over there, permit me to recommend to you, as fully acquainted with all the resources of that county and Hardy, Capt. George W. Stump, of the Eighteenth Virginia Cavalry. Captain Stump can give you more valuable information than any man in my command in regard to supplies in Hampshire and Hardy. He knows where every lot of cattle in those counties can be obtained, and has very recently returned from a trip there in search of supplies. I take pleasure in recommending him to you as a man perfectly reliable in every respect, and one who will be exceedingly valuable to you, should you send to the counties named. Colonel Smith will report to you with the brigade as soon as he can reach you in the jaded condition of our horses. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. D. IMBODEN, Brigadier-General. [43]

General Benjamin Lefevre served in the Union army as a private, 1861-65,[44] mustered and out as major of the Fiftieth Ohio Infantry and brevited Brigadier General.[45]
Alfred M. McKinnon, born 1839. (Compilers second cousin, 3 times removed) He died at Chatanooga, Tenn., from the effects of the wounds received in battle at Mission Ridge (December 6, 1863); was a member of the 1st 0. V. I. He appears as a student in Clark Co OH in 1860. [46]
John Joseph Harrison died during the Civil War died in Georgia, in a Civil War prison. Was this Andersonville, Georgia? These records need to be checked. (The compilers 3rd cousin, 4 times removed.)[47]
Weldon E. Brittain, born February 24, 1837, died May 27, 186? At Lynchburg, VA, A soldier of Confederate Army.[48]
The Compilers third cousin, six times removed.
Allen Turner Davidson was member of the Confederate Congress, later appointed a member of Commissary Supply Dept. to provide food and clothing for families of Confederate Soldiers., and was on Governor Vance’s Council.[49] The Compilers third cousin six times removed.
December 24, 1864: The most adverse criticism of these "Galvanized Yankees" came from a high ranking Confederate source, Lt. Gen. W. J. Hardee. On December 24, 1864 he informed Gen. S. Cooper, Insp. General of the Confederacy, that at Savannah such troops had proved "to be utterly untrustworthy. The men deserted in large numbers and finally mutinied and were narrowly prevented from going over in a body to the enemy. The ring leaders were shot, and the remainder sent back to prison. These men were selected with great care, and were principally foreigners, and this is, therefore, a fair test of of such troops. I recommend that all authority to organize similar commands be revoked." (Official Records, 2, VII, 1268.) (The Salisbury Prison, by Louis A. Brown, page 103.)
James Oxley, (Iowa Infantry?) a POW at Salisbury, told of a group of about a hundred prisoners who had gone with the recruiter who had promised them plenty to eat. They were all eventually returned to the prison according to Confederate authorities, because they had failed a physical exam. The real reason may have been that they were about to disavow their oath to the Confederacy and defect to the Union lines at the first opportunity. Upon their return to Salisbury they were greeted by much hostility from their fellow prisoners and , according to Oxley, were all dead within a short time.( Mr and Mrs Donald W. David of Marion, Iowa, provided the excerpts from James Oxley's letters. This is one of Oxley's comments. Some of these men may have been killed outright, but Oxley implied the denial of food by their fellow prisoners was the cause of their death. These POWs were not wearing uniforms when they returned. They presented such a spectacle that Oxley exclaimed that they would "make a dead man laugh." (Oxley Diary). (What clothes were they wearing.) Need date of diary entry. Contact David in Marion, Iowa.

Theopolis McKinnon voted for Hayes in 1880 for President.[53]
1880: Gottlober also published Hebrew short stories: “Kol rinah vi-yeshu‘ah be-ohole tsadikim” (1875), “Hizaharu bi-vene ha-‘aniyim” (1880), and “Orot me-ofel” (1881). His stories commonly focused on issues that agitated the Jewish communities he was familiar with: unequal distribution of the burden of the Russian military draft, and obstacles in the way of youth who hoped to explore the Enlightenment. Gottlober also published a play, Tif’eret li-vene binah (1867).[54]
1880: Gottlober was one of the first maskilim of his time to write about Jewish history. His initial book in this field was Bikoret le-toldot ha-Kara’im (Critique of the History of the Karaites; 1865). Several years later, his Toldot ha-Kabalah veha-ḥasidut (History of the Kabbalah and Hasidism; 1869) appeared. His inclination was to deal with social and intellectual history, a topic that found expression in his autobiographical works: Zikhronot mi-yeme ne‘urai, meshulavim ‘im zikhronot ha-dor (Memoirs from the Days of My Youth, Joined with Memoirs of the Generation; 1880) and Zikhronot le-korot Haskalat ‘amenu be-artsenu erets Rusya’ (Memoirs of the History of the Enlightenment of Our People in Our Land, the Land of Russia; 1884). In 1867, Gottlober began planning the publication of a history of Jews in the southwest Russian Empire, based on communal registers and the records of local societies.[55]
1880: By 1880, the Jewish population was the absolute majority in Jerusalem. In the 1880’s we begin to saee major fulfillment of Bible prophecy, concerning the Jewish people and the land of Israel. The modern state of Israel is directly connected to biblical Israel, as attested to by its history and the manner in which its modern rebirth has so closely concided with Bible prophecy. Just as God arranged for Joshua to bring the Children of Israel into the Promised Land 3,500 years ago, in our day God arranged for the Jewish people to come back to their ancestral homeland. [56]
December 24, 1894: On board Convoy 55 was Albert Gottlieb, born December 24, 1894 from Fridlda, (Stateless), and Aurelie Gottlieb, born June 11, 1892 in Lvov. (Polish for Lviv, a major city in western Ukraine. [57]

[20] 60 For a biographical sketch of Col. William Crawford see Dunmore’.c War, p. 103, note 48; his early Revolutionary service is sketched in Rev. Upper Ohio, p. 250, note 94. After joining the Continental army in August, 1777, Crawford served with efficiency, commanding a detachment of scouts and skirmishing with the British under Howe. November ~q Congress resolved “that General Washington be requested to send Col. William Crawford to Pittsburg to take command under Brigadier General Hand of the Continental troops and militia of the Western department.” In this way Crawford lost his place and rank in the Continental line, and it was never restored to him. He seems to have spent part of the winter of 1777-78 at his own home on the Youghiogheny. In March and April he was present at Yohogania County court, acting as magistrate and commissioner to lay out prison bounds. His subsequent career will be outlined in later documents in this volume.—ED.
[21] 61 Maj. John Stephenson was a half-brother of Col. William Crawford, and was born in Virginia about 1737. He was out in the French and Indian War, and about 1768 removed to the West, settling on Jacob’s Creek, in Fayette County. There in 1770 he was visited by Washington, who was thenreturning from viewing Western lands. In 1774 Stephenson commanded a company under Dunmore, and was active on the Virginia side during the troubles between that state and Pennsylvania. In 1775 Stephenson enlisted a company for the colonial cause, and joined Col. Peter Muhlenberg as captain in the 8th Virginia; this regiment saw service at Charleston and Savannah. In the summer of 1777 Stephenson contracted disease, and returned home that autumn. He did not again enter the Continental army, but served as a volunteer on Hand’s campaign (1778), and that of Mcintosh (1778-79). About ?i~o he removed to Kentucky, where he lived and died on the South fork of the Licking, leaving no children. He was a large, active man, brave, kind, and popular. For Samuel Murphy’s reminiscences of Stephenson, with whom he lived, see Draper MSS., 3S1-10, 5S1-9.—ED.
[22] Capt. James Willing, youngest son of Charles and his wife Anne Shippen Willing, was born in Philadelphia Feb. 9, 1751. The Willing family were prominent in colonial affairs, and James’s oldest brother, Thomas, was a partner of Robert Morris, and aided in financing the new nation. James removed in 1774 to Natchez, where he dissipated his patrimony. In 1777 he returned to Philadelphia, and received from Congress a commission as captain in the navy, with permission to proceed to the Mississippi River to secure the neutrality of the inhabitants along its banks and to bring back provisions to the states. He enlisted a company for this purpose (see roll in Penna. Archives, 2nd series, xv, p. 658), and in an armed boat christened “Rattletrap” left Pittsburgh Jan. 10, 1778. Arrived at Natchez he succeeded in securing a pledge of neutrality from the chief inhabitants (see Almon’s Remembrancer, vi, p. 343), but was accused of having in a wanton manner pillaged and inflicted damages on their property. Having proceeded to New Orleans, Willing captured a small British vessel at Manchac, and used this for further depredations on the property of British sympathizers. In the following year he sent his troops back oup the river under charge of Lieut. Robert George, who placed them under the orders of Gen. George Rogers Clark. Willing himself proceeded to Mobile, where he was captured and narrowly escaped being hung. He was finally shipped as prisoner to New York, and Kept on Long Island, under parole, with other American officers. Having resented an insult offered by a British officer, Willing was incarcerated in New York City and loaded with irons, where he remained for three months . One of his sisters, wife of a British officer, interceded for him with Sir Henry Clinton, who finally permitted him to return to Philadelphia on parole until exchanged. He is said to have been exchanged for Henry Hamilton, governor of Detroit. Willing was never married. He made his home in Philadelphia, where he died Oct. 13, 1801
