January 1, 45 B.C.: In the Julian reform of the Roman calendar on January 1, 45 BC, Caesar added two additional days to the end of December. But, because they fell between the Ides and the next Kalends, Caesar was confronted either with having the Saturnalia celebrated on the same "day" (i.e., the same number of days after the Ides) or on the same "date" (its position in the month relative to the following Kalends). He chose to leave the festival on the same day, even though this meant changing its date. [1]
January 1, 69 - Roman garrison of Mainz uprising[2]
December 25 and January 1, 418-427: John Cassian records in his "Collations" (X, 2 in P.L., XLIX, 820), written 418-427, that the Egyptian monasteries still observe the "ancient custom" of Christs birth; but on 29 Choiak (25 December) and 1 January.[3]
January 1, 630: Prophet Muhammad sets out toward Mecca with the army that will capture it bloodlessly. [4] The Quraysh violated the nonaggression treaty, and in January 630 Muhammad led a 10,000 –man army to Mecca. When the Muslims arrived, they found the Meccans dispirited, and the sity was surrendered without a fight. Muhammad treated the defeated Meccans with mercy, which was more than he could have expected had the outcome been reversed. One of his first actions, though, was to enter the Kaaba and destroy the hundreds of idols located within. From this pont forward the sacred building was to be dedicated to Allah alone. The destruction of the idols showed the people of Mecca how truly powerless their gods had been, and they were grateful for Muhammad’s leniency. Soon most of the Meccans had become Muslims.[5] At first Mohammed “had hoped to find is main supporters among the Jewish tribes” of Arabia. This can be seen in his early adoption of certain laws regarding fasting and facing Jerusalem during prayer. When the Jews refused to accept him as the final line of prophets that had included Abraham and Moses, he turned against the Jews “in a cruel war of extermination.” Mohammed would die two years after the conquest of Mecca but his legacy lives on to this very day.[6]
January 1, 1527: Croatian nobles elect Ferdinand I of Austria as king of Croatia in the Parliament on Cetin. There were no Croatian Jews in attendance since the Jews had been expelled and there was no record of any Jews living in Croatia after 1526.[7]
January 1, 1540: January 1, 1540: – Henry VIII meets Anne of Cleves for the first time. [8]
Queen Jane had died in 1537, less than two weeks after the birth of her only child, the future Edward VI. In early October 1539, the King finally accepted Cromwell's suggestion that he marry Anne, the sister of Duke Wilhelm, of Cleves. On December 27, Anne arrived at Dover. On New Year's Day (January 1) 1540, the King met her at Rochester, and was chagrined to find that she was not the beauty Holbein had depicted in his portrait of her. The wedding ceremony took place on January 6 at Greenwich, but the marriage was not consummated.[7][9]
Carl von Donop
Carl Emil Ulrich von Donop
•Count Carl Emil Ulrich von Donop (January 1, 1732[1] - October 25, 1777) was a Hessian colonel who fought in the American Revolutionary War.
Biography
Origins and ambitions
The son of a noble family of Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel), Donop was well connected in the European courts and served as personal adjutant to the Landgraf of Hesse-Kassel. He served with distinction in the Seven Years' War.[1] When the American Revolution began, Donop asked for leave to serve in America against the revolutionaries. The Landgraf appointed him as commander of four battalions of grenadiers and the prestigious Jäger Corps. A highly ambitious officer, Donop hoped to remain in America after the war to pursue dreams of power and glory.[2][3]
Wearing a veneer of civility and deferential to his superiors, Donop was an able officer but was not well liked by his subordinates. To his inferiors he was short and harsh, and he had a take-no-prisoners policy that was enforced by severe beatings.[4][10]
January 1, 1772: After practicing as a circuit lawyer for several years,[28] Jefferson married the 23-year-old widow Martha Wayles Skelton. The wedding was celebrated on January 1, 1772 at Martha's home, an estate called 'The Forest' near Williamsburg, Virginia.[29] Martha Jefferson was described as attractive, gracious and popular with their friends; she was a frequent hostess for Jefferson and managed the large household. They were said to have a happy marriage. She read widely, did fine needle work and was an amateur musician. Jefferson played the violin and Martha was an accomplished piano player. It is said that she was attracted to Thomas largely because of their mutual love of music.[29][30] One of the wedding gifts he gave to Martha was a "forte-piano".[31] During the ten years of their marriage, she had six children: Martha Washington, called Patsy, (1772–1836); Jane (1774–1775); a stillborn or unnamed son in 1777; Mary Wayles (1778–1804), called Polly; Lucy Elizabeth (1780–1781); and Lucy Elizabeth (1782–1785). Two survived to adulthood.[31]
After her father John Wayles died in 1773, Martha and her husband Jefferson inherited his 135 slaves, 11,000 acres and the debts of his estate. These took Jefferson and other co-executors of the estate years to pay off, which contributed to his financial problems. Among the slaves were Betty Hemings and her 10 children; the six youngest were half-siblings of Martha Wayles Jefferson, as they are believed to have been children of her father,[Note 2] and they were three-quarters European in ancestry. The youngest, an infant, was Sally Hemings. As they grew and were trained, all the Hemings family members were assigned to privileged positions among the slaves at Monticello, as domestic servants, chefs, and highly skilled artisans.[32]
Later in life, Martha Jefferson suffered from diabetes and ill health, and frequent childbirth further weakened her. A few months after the birth of her last child, Martha died on September 6, 1782. Jefferson was at his wife's bedside and was distraught after her death. In the following three weeks, Jefferson shut himself in his room, where he paced back and forth until he was nearly exhausted. Later he would often take long rides on secluded roads to mourn for his wife.[30][31] As he had promised his wife, Jefferson never remarried. [11]
January 1, 1774: The organization of the Westmoreland County Court at Hannastown, within thirty-five miles of Pittsburg, stirred the Virginians into action. The county was scarcely organized, when John Murray, the fourth Earl of Dunmore, one of the Scottish Peers, then the royal Governor of the colony of Virginia, made a visit to Fort
Pitt (Pittsburg), and on his way stopped with Captain Crawford on the Youghiogheny. George Washington was to have come with him, but was prevented by the death of his step-daughter, Miss Nellie Custis. At Fort Pitt Dunmore met Dr. John Connolly, who soon became his representative in the valley of the Monongahela.[12]
On January 1, 1774, Dr. John Connolly had posted a printed
advertisement at Pittsburgh, and throughout the vicinity, announcing
that Lord Dunmore, Governor of Virginia, had been pleased to nomi-
nate and appoint him " Captain, Commandant of the Militia of Pitts-
burgh and its Dependencies," and proposed " moving to the House of
Burgesses the necessity of erecting a New County, to include Pitts-
burgh;" a Virginia county, of course. This official announcement
created some consternation among the .good people of the Pennsylvania
jurisdiction. Arthur St. Clair, prothonotary of Westmoreland county,
caused Dr. Connolly to be arrested, but the prisoner, after a few days
confinement in the county jail at Hanna's Town, prevailed upon the
sheriff to permit him to visit Pittsburgh, pledging his honor to return
before the next court in April.[13]
Connolly did report at the April term of the court, but it was with ,a body-guard of nearly two hundred men, and soon had made his own terms with the Westmoreland County officials; and on his way
back to Pittsburgh he made several arrests of Pennsylvania adherents, and held them to trial or committed them to prison.[14]
January 1, 1774
The famous proclamation which Justice Mackay enclosed to Justice St.Clair, and copies of which were posted about Pittsburgh, read as follows:
“Whereas, his Excellency John, Earl of Dunmore, Governor-in-Chief and Captain General of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia, and Vice-Admiral of the same, has been pleased to nominate and appoint me Captain, Commandant of the Militia aof Pittsburg and its Dependencies, with instructions to assure His Majest’s subjects settled on the Western Waters, that having the greatest regard to their prosperity and interest, and conviced from their repeated memorials of the grievances of which they complain, that he purposes moving to the House of Burgesses the necessity of erecting a new county, to include Pittsburgh, for the redress of your complaints, and to take every other step that may tend to afford you that Justice for which you solicit. In order to facilitate this desirable circumstance, I hereby require and command all persons in the Dependency of Pittsburg, to assembly themselves there as a Militia on the 25th instant, at which time I shall communicate other matters for the promotion of public utility. Given under my hand, this 1st day of January, 1774.

January 1, 1776: Carter, Joseph. Enlisted in Captain Stephenson's company in 1775. A Joseph Carter came from Bucks County, Pa., in 1743, and made a settlement about five miles east of Winchester, where there was a fine spring, which had made the place a favorite camping-ground for Indians. Private Joseph Carter may have been his son. From his handwriting in Captain Stephenson's receipt book, dated Roxbury Camp, January 1st, 1776, Carter appears to have been well educated.[20]

[Veteran was pensioned at the rate of $80 per annum commencing March 4th, 1831, for service as a private for 2 years in the Virginia service.][21]
January 1, 1776: Green, William. Enlisted in 1775 in Captain Stephenson's company. He must have joined that company at Roxbury Camp, as the date of his enlistment is "September 10, 1775, the time that I joyned Captain Stephenson." (Old account book belonging to Captain Stephenson, in writer's possession, giving names of all who received pay in this company, January 1, 1776.)
January 1, 1777: Kelly, William. Enlisted in Captain Stephenson's company in 1775. Was second sergeant in this Company. Afterwards was second lieutenant in Captain Shepherd's company. He was not in the battle of Fort Washington, having been detailed on special duty or perhaps in hospital up the Hudson. He was promoted a captain, January 1st, 1777, and died in Hagerstown in the winter of 1778-9.[22]
January 1, 1776: Pendleton, Nathaniel. Captain Nathaniel Pendleton joined Captain Stephenson's riflemen in 1775 as a private. He was an intimate friend of H. Bedinger, who frequently mentions him in his journal of the campaign. January 1st, 1776, he wrote: "Nat Pendleton Returned from on Board a Privateer." In 1776 he enlisted as first lieutenant in Captain Gabriel Long's riflemen, which was Company 6 of the eight companies of riflemen raised in Virginia and Maryland for the Rifle Regiment. At the battle around Fort Washington Lieutenant Pendleton was taken prisoner, and, with the other officers, first billetted in empty houses in New York. Afterwards all the officers were quartered on Long Island, where most of them remained until November 1780, when they were exchanged. After his exchange Nat. Pendleton was a captain in Colonel Rawlings Regiment. After the Revolution he moved to New York, and practiced law. He was Alexander Hamilton's second in the duel with Aaron Burr. His descendants lived in Cincinnati. Mr. Edmund Pendleton, his great-grandson, now lives in Maryland. [23]
January 1, 1777: Rider, Adam. Enlisted in Capt. Hugh Stephenson's company in 1775. Again enlisted in Captain Shepherd's Company in 1776. Was drafted into another company January 1, 1777. The name was sometimes spelt Ryder. [24]
January 1, 1777: Sheetz, Adam. Sheetz had quite an eventful career. He first enlisted in Captain Stephenson's company. Next in Captain Shepherd's company. Taken prisoner, but soon exchanged, he was drafted out of Captain Shepherd's Company, January 1, 1777, into another rifle company. Again, in December 1778, he was drafted into Company No. 4 of Morgans Riflemen, under Captain Charles Porterfield. The Sheetzes came to Shepherdstown from York, Pa., about the year 1762. Their descendants still live in the house built by the father of Adam Sheetz. It was long used as a tavern. Afterwards Adam Sheetz had a famous gun-shop there. [25]
January 1, 1779: Winch, David, Lancaster, Col. Wade's regt. for service at Rhode Island; Capt. Belknap's co.; muster rolls sworn to at East Greenwich, September 28, November 10, and December 30, 1778; enlistment to expire January 1, 1779.[26]
January 1, 1780.
On January 1 we saw several ships in the fleet which had lost some of their masts in the storm and appeared to be in distressed circumstances. Toward evening the second storm came up, combined with rain, hail, and snow, which continued in the most terrible manner until the forenoon of the 6th. The fleet had become separated in such a way that one could count only twenty sail in the farthest distance. Since the storm came out of the southeast and drove us toward land, the sailors were greatly worried about shipwreck on the Great Bank of Cape Hatteras, which extends over thirty nautical miles into the ocean.
Since a sunbeam fell around noon, an observation was taken and we were at latitude 31° 29’ north, but the wind blew too contrary and very hard. In the meantime, one could make a small coal fire in order to prepare some tea.[27]
January 1, 1781: On New Years Day (January 1), 1781, the Pennsylvania Continentals, a full quarter of Washingtons army, finally lost faith. They had not been paid in twelve months, yet their government was offering $81 in cash to recruit convicts willing to trade a jail cell for an army jacket. As night fell in Morristown, New Jersey, 1500 soldiers seized artillery, gunpowder, and cannonballs and filed out of camp. They intended to march to Philadelphia, and lay their grievances directly before the Pennsylvania state council, and the Congress. Two officers that tried to stop them were wounded, a third was killed. Word of the mutiny reached the British in New York.
“It is with inexpressible pain that I inform your exellency of the mutiny which took place in the Pennsylvania line last evening. Every possible means of exertion was made to surpress it, but the torrent was to potent to be stemmed.”
General Anthony Wayne
In 1781, when Andrew Jackson (second cousin 8 times removed) was 14, and the Revolutionary war was raging, British soldiers stormed a cabin where he and his brother Robert tried to hide. The boys were taken prisoner for serving as couriers in the continental army. Three words from a British officer would light a fuse in Jackson, that burned for a lifetime. “Clean my boots.”
Jackson, with that insolence that would characterize him his entire life. Jackson said, “I’m a prisoner of war and I demand to be treated accordingly.” The officer took a swipe at Jackson with his sword cutting him in the hand and head which would scar him for life. Andrew and his brother were taken to a squalid British prison camp where they both contracted smallpox. They probably wqould have died there if not for their widowed mother, Elizabeth. She gets the boys out who were by now desperately ill. They have one horse, who the older boy rides who is gravely ill and Andrew walks the entire forty miles home, with small pox. Jackson was delirious. For six months her mother works to keep Jackson alive in their cabin in the Waxah region. Her oldest son died fighting for the continental army. Andrew survived the smallpox but six months later, his mother died of Cholera, leaving Andrew a bitter, tough young orphan.[28]
In 1781, Andrew Jackson (2nd cousin, 8 times removed) worked for a time in a saddle-maker's shop. Later, he taught school and studied law in Salisbury, North Carolina.[29]
Jackson studied law under the highly esteemed attorney, Spruce McCay. Spruce McKay had already taught law to William Richardson Davey, Jacksons hero in the American Revolution.
January 1, 1787: To examine the 19th section upon authority. The cases of Rice et al. v. Efford et al.f and of Stones v. Keeling, and Hughes v. Striker,g are all that bear upon the subject. The only question which seemed to create much difficulty in those cases was, whether births and marriages, before the act, were embraced by it? and the decisions are, that such births and marriages are embraced, where the children, born before wedlock, had been recognized by the father, after January 1, 1787. But this is said to be nothing more than an obiter dictum of Judge Roane. But we regard it as the reasoning of the Court, given by the only Judge who gave any reason for the decision. A decision, that marriages and births, before the act, are embraced by its provisions, because the recognition took place after the act was in force, is plainly a decision, that, but for the subsequent recognition, prior marriages and births could not be considered as within the act. These cases furnish good authority for applying the 7th section of the marriage act, to marriages contracted before, but existing on the 1st of January, 1787; (January 1, 1787) and for substituting the words 'hath been,' in the act of descents respecting aliens, for the words 'shall have been.' If this be correct, both those provisions will accord with the residue of the acts containing them,
f

Ib. and with the act concerning dower, and the statute of wills and distributions. The operation of all, will then be prospective.
13
The statute of descents shows, that wherever, in adopting the civil law, its framers meant to exceed or fall short of its provisions, they have done so in explicit terms. By the civil law, the marriage of the parents legitimated the children previously born, without the father's recognition.h This legitimation was the subject of the famous proceeding at the parliament of Merton. The ecclesiastics there demanded, that the marriage of the parent should legitimate the children; to which the barons returned their memorable answer: 'Nolumus leges Angliae mutari.'i The common lawyers of England, therefore, would not agree to adopt the civil law in this particular. But the common lawyers of Virginia, who compiled the act of 1785, determined to adopt the civil law in this particular, sub modo; that the marriage of the parents should legitimate the children, provided the father should afterwards recognize them. It is contended, on the other side, that this recognition is nothing more than statutory evidence of the fact, which might be otherwise proved, and is not of itself a substantive provision. If this argument be correct, then by the common and civil law a bastard must always have been the heir of his natural father, provided the identity of that natural father could be proved. But as we know that the mother, both by
h
1 Bl. Comm. 455. Just. Inst. l. 1. tit.
i
1 Bl. Comm. 455. the common and civil law, was always a competent witness to establish that fact of the father's identity, and yet never resorted to for the purpose of making her child heir to the father, we have a right to conclude, that the recognition required by the statute, is something more than mere evidence of the fact.
14
3. The appellants claim as heirs of Richard Stevenson, under the 18th section, and in support of this claim they contend, that the terms, 'inheriting or transmitting inheritance on the part of the mother, in like manner as if they had been lawfully begotten of such mother,' confer a capacity to inherit and transmit inheritance in the ascending as well as descending line, and also from and among collaterals. Their doctrine amounts plainly to this: that by the true construction of the second member of the 18th section, bastards are made the legitimate children of their mothers, at least for the purposes of inheritance.
15
In expounding the statute of descents, it has been justly remarked by Judge Tucker, that the framers of it were eminent sages of the law, and complete masters of its technical terms. This being the case, it would be reasonable to look for the same technical language, in all cases where the same thing was intended. When in the 19th section of the act of descents, and also in the marriage act, they remove from certain classes of bastards all the disabilities under which they laboured, they employ that legal term which conveys their meaning clearly, and leaves nothing for construction. They say they shall be 'legitimate,' not that they shall be capable of inheriting 'on the part of their mothers and fathers;' leaving us to inquire after the extent of the capacity. The law causes them to change characters. They cease to be bastards, and become the legitimate children of their father and mother. The consequences of their legitimacy follows. They have father and mother, sisters and brothers, uncles and aunts, with an universal capacity of inheriting and transmitting inheritance. The 18th section immediately preceding, if it had been intended to make bastard children the legitimate offspring of their mothers, would have followed the same language, and would have left nothing to interpretation. That section would have read thus: 'In making title by descent, it shall be no bar to a party, that any ancestor through whom he derives his descent from the intestate, is, or hath been an alien or a bastard. Bastards also shall be considered in law as the legitimate children of their mother.' The 19th section, like the marriage act, gives no new capacities to bastards as such. They make certain persons of that description legitimate, and the capacities of legitimacy follow of course. They inherit to both parents, not as bastards, but as their legitimate offspring. [30]

January 1, 1796: The first slave to be set free in Harrison County was in 1796. The document freeing this slave reads thusly, “Being convinced of the impropriety of perpetual slavery, I do emancipate a male negro bond slave named Isaac, after the first day of January, 1796. Signed, Newton Cannon.” This document was recorded by William Moore, first Clerk of Harrison County Court, 1796.[32]

Head Quarters,
Nashville January 1, 1821
Sir,
I received with pleasure your letter by Mr. [John S.] Soverville with whom I am much pleased, and doubt not but he will be very beneficial to our college and the youth of our country. It affords us much gratification to hear from you that his demeanour and capacity are good; for it is by procuring such characters in our college that we can at all calculate upon its prosperity or utility.[35][36]
I am by this day’s mail advised that Judge [Dominick Augustin] Hall is no more. From my knowledge of the people of New-Orleans, I know it to be all important that his successor should be a well tried, firm patriot and strongly attached to the American interest, whose knowledge of the people & combined with fitness & legal talent to carry it into effect should enable him to unite the happiness of the people with the security of that country. In Abner L[awson] Duncan Esq. of New Orleans can be found this suitable character. I fully experienced in my defence of the New Orleans the energy & capacity of his mind with a great attachment to his country. He was a faithful sentinel, & by his firmness & knowledge of the mixed population rendered his country & myself important services. I am actuated in addressing you on this subject by a sincere regard for the happiness of the people of that country to whom I feel greatly attached & I am confident that by this appointment their happiness & the interest of our common country will be better promoted than by conferring the appointment on any other person. If he is appointed ai have no doubt of his accepting the office.[37]
I see by the papers from the City that it is probable our Treaty with Spain is ratified by the King & Cortes. If this should prove to be a fact, and it should be ratified by the Senate, it would afford me much pleasure to have the honor to receive the Barrancas and the Floridas, from the Spanish Authorities. [38]
I have a hope that you are unanimously elected President for the next four years.[39]
I sincerely regret the unpleasant situation in which the House of Representatives have placed the nation by the vote respecting the State of Missouri. Should the House not reconsider the subject I shudder for the consequences. The feeling of the South & West are aroused. The Eastern & Northern people have fully unmasked themselves, & if I can judge correctly Missouri will not retrograde or humble herself. What then will be the consequence? Missouri may seize the public property & funds within her limits. What course will Congress then adopt? I hope the majority will see the evil of this rash despotic act & admit the State and prevent the evil.[40]
Mrs Jackson joins me in requesting to be affectionately remembered to your amiable lady & family.[41] I am with sincere regard Yr. Mo. Ob. Servant

January 1, 1863: Abraham Lincoln, U.S. President
· Born: February 12, 1809
· Birthplace: Near Hodgenville, Kentucky
· Died: April 15, 1865 (assassination by gunshot)
· Best Known As: The Civil War president who wrote the Gettysburg Address and Emancipation Proclamation Signed and issued January 1, 1863
The stories really are true: Abe Lincoln grew up on the American frontier, educated himself by reading borrowed books, and worked as a general store clerk long before he became the 16th president of the United States. His claims to fame are too numerous to list briefly; he is most often remembered for leading the Union through the Civil War and freeing Confederate slaves with the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation; for delivering the Gettysburg Address, the most famous oration in American history; and for his tragic assassination by John Wilkes Booth. Upon Lincoln's death, Andrew Johnson assumed the presidency.
Abe Lincoln failed about 12 times and kept on going. Lost his mother at an early age. Lost his child hood sweetheart. Married to a shrew who was later put in the insane asylum by her own son ~~ Lincoln was a very honest man who overcame his poor background and became the greatest American after George Washington.
He is on the five dollar bill and the penny and his Gettysburg address lives in the hearts of all real Americans Lincoln was married to Mary Todd Lincoln I am reading a book about Mary Todd Lincoln and she had to overcome much adversity too she was a Southerner married to the President of the US fighting the South she lost two children in the White House~~TAD and Willie Poor Lincolns ~~both were married 25 years but they had tragedy all their lives
Yes, that's Lincoln on the U.S. penny and the five dollar bill. In 1864 Lincoln named Salmon P. Chase to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court -- Chase is on the ten thousand dollar bill... Lincoln was preceded by James Buchanan, the only president to remain a bachelor for life... Lincoln was the first president to be born outside the original thirteen states... He was the first president to wear a beard while in office... Lincoln's oldest son, Robert Todd Lincoln, was present at three assassinations: his father's, President Garfield's in 1881 and President McKinley's in 1901... A famous (and enormous) biography of Lincoln was written by 20th-century author Carl Sandburg... Lincoln was the 16th president. [47]
President Lincoln issues a preliminary Emanicipation Proclamation, calling for all slaves within areas under rebellion to be free on January 1, 1863.[48]

Zebulon Vance Monument
Asheville, NC
Governor Vance was a States' Righter and some of his independent actions, however, did not find favor in Richmond. In particular, there was disagreement over his policy of exporting North Carolina cotton abroad by way of blockade runner ships and using the material received in exchange for the benefit of North Carolinians, both civilian and military. Because of that policy, North Carolina was the only Confederate state to equip and clothe its own regiments, but much of the blockade runner supplies were shared with the rest of the Confederacy. General Longstreet's Army, for example, received 12,000 uniforms from North Carolina after the Battle of Chickamauga.
January 1, 1863: By war’s end, more than 1300 of the sons and grandsons of Graybeard members had enlisted. So the regiment accomplished its major purpose, to serve as a grand propaganda tool for recruiting.
37th Regiment Infantry organized at Muscatine and mustered in December 15, 1862. Moved to St. Louis, Mo., January 1, 1863. Attached to District of St. Louis, Mo., Dept. of Missouri, to May, 1863. Alton, Ill., to January, 1864. Rock Island, Ill., to June, 1864. Memphis, Tenn., District of West Tennessee, to August, 1864. Indianapolis, Ind., Cincinnati, Columbus and Gallipolis, Ohio, to May, 1865. Provost guard duty at St. Louis, Mo., and guarding military Prisons till May 1, 1863. Guard Pacific Railroad from St. Louis to Jefferson City, Me. Headquarters at Franklin till July 29. Moved to Alton, Ill, and guard Military Prison till January 16, 1864, and at Rock Island, Ill, till June 5. Ordered to Memphis, Tenn., June 5, and duty there till August 27. Moved to Indianaplois, Ind., August 27-31. Guard prisoners at Camp Morton (5 Cos.) and Military Prisons at Cincinnati, Ohio (5 Cos.), till May, 1865.
The idea was a bold one: a regiment of old men in Union blue, risen from their comfortable parlors and front-porch rockers to rally ‘round the flag. The sight of these ancient soldiers marching off to war could make young men blush with shame and send them running to the nearest recruiter,. That was the idea, but the reality of the 37th Iowa Infantry was another story altogether. [52]
January 1, 1863: Samuel Godlove at Battle at Helena, Arkansas on January 1 1863
January 1, 1864: Fall 1862 and Spring 1863: The 18th Virginia Cavalry was organized by General John D. Imboden in the fall of 1862 and spring 1863. Many of its members—the Godloves included—had served in units formed the 1st Partisan Rangers (which became the 62nd Mounted Infantry). [53]
January 1, 1864: Dr. William McKinnon Goodlove (1st cousin, 3 times removed) enlisted as a soldier in the 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry,Reenlisted January 1, 1864. Veterans on furlough February March. [54]
January 1, 1864: This is a copy of a diary written by William Harrison Goodlove dated from January 1, 1864 thru December 18, 1864. William Harrison Goodlove left the diary to his son, Earl Lee Goodlove who left it to his oldest son, Covert Lee Goodlove, who resided in Center Point, Iowa. The diary was copied “as written” by Jean (Goodlove) Lorence, daughter of Covert L. Goodlove, April 1987.[55] (It is in the possession of Jay Covert Goodlove.)

January 1, 1866: Soldiers' Orphans' Home. Through the generosity of interested friends in Madison and other places the property was purchased for such a home. Repairs were immediately begun, and the building was ready by January 1, 1866, to receive soldiers' orphans. The personal exertions of Mrs. Harvey and the liberality of her friends, thus resulted in starting a charitable enterprise which was conducted as a private institution until March 31, 1866, when its maintenance was assumed by the State. The building contained dormitories, sleeping rooms, a schoolroom capable of seating 150 children, an infirmary, and a sewing-room. In April 1866, the home housed eighty-five children with Mrs. Harvey in charge. As superintendent, she was "the chief executive officer of the home, to have control and authority over all assistants connected with the institution below the grade designated in the by-laws as officers; to employ or discharge as [she] may see fit, being responsible to the trustees -for the proper discharge of that duty."
The qualifications for admission to the institution were: "All orphans over the age of four and under fourteen years, whose fathers enlisted from the State, and who have either been killed or died while in the military or naval services of the United States, or of this State, during the late rebellion, or who have since died of diseases contracted while in such service, and who have no means of support, shall be entitled to the benefits of this institution, giving the preference to those having neither father nor mother, in deciding upon applications."
During the year that Mrs. Harvey was superintendent the institution was well established. She gave personal supervision to even the smallest details and took the trouble to learn the name of every child, although their number soon increased to 300. On May 1, 1867, she resigned, and from that time on the office of superintendent was filled by men whose wives acted as matrons, giving in all instances "their whole strength and energy and tenderest care to their work."[60]
January 1, 1868: Daniel Edgar Sickles (1819–1914): A native of New York City, Sickles was a member of Congress when he shot and killed Philip Barton Key, the son of Francis Scott Key the composer of The Star Spangled Banner. The younger Key had been having an affair with Sickle’s wife. A judge acquitted Sickles after he declared in court that he had forgiven his wife for her indiscretion. Sickels’ Civil War career began as colonel with the Seventieth New York in June 1861 and he was made brigadier general by September 1861. Sickels took charge of Third Corps from Joseph Hooker after Chancellorsville. At Gettysburg, Sickles advanced his men from their assigned sector at Cemetery Hill without permission from commanding officers, and subsequently lost a leg in the retreat. He mustered out as a major general January 1, 1868 and served in Congress during the 1890s. He chaired the New York State Monuments Commission for 26 years until forced out by scandal.[61]

In the 1874 general election, Disraeli was returned to power. He passed the Public Worship Regulation Act 1874, which removed Catholic rituals from the Anglican liturgy and which Victoria strongly supported.[142] She preferred short, simple services, and personally considered herself more aligned with the presbyterian Church of Scotland than the episcopal Church of England.[143] He also pushed the Royal Titles Act 1876 through Parliament, so that Victoria took the title "Empress of India" from May 1, 1876.[144] The new title was proclaimed at the Delhi Durbar of January 1, 1877.[145]

January 1, 1920: By the beginning of the New Year, agitation to form a Buck Creek consolidated district gathered momentum. Although the leaders of the effort contained four present and three past directors of the Union Township school board and the director from the Hazel Green No. 7 subdistrict, the Brotherhood of the Buck Creek Church organized and led the campaign for the new school. A number of women in the Buck Creek Church were also key supporters of the idea, but none assumed positions of leadership in the campaign. As one informant put it, “the Buck Creek Church people they were the ones that began to push to build the school [and] the ones that was awful willing even though taxes would be higher to build this good school. The ones that were agin the school, agin doing it, nine out of every ten were Catholics.”[70]
January 1, 1934: According to a report by Morton Rotehnberg, President of the Zionist Organization of America, 11,000 German Jewish refugees had entered Palestine from April 1, 1933 through January 1, 1934. As co-chair of the United Jewish Appeal, Rothenberg is contributions totaling three million dollars to aid the refugees from Germany.” At the same time, Dr. Arthur Hantke, director of the Palestine Foundation Fund reported that “there is no unemployment.” There is an “insistent demand for workers” throughout the country meaning that the influx of immigrants will be a net economic gain.[71]

Crawford's biographer Len Cleveland said that in researching his material he observed that "Crawford's entire political career was motivated by a traditional sense of duty rather than by deep political convictions".[6] Robert Toombs spoke well of Crawford, Saying, "There are but few abler and no purer men in America, and he has administrative qualities of an unusually high order."[13]
January 1, 1962 Today is J. Edgar Hoover’s sixty-seventh birthday.
This month, JFK begins his affair with Mary Pinchot Meyer -- Ben Bradlee’s blond sisterin-
law. Mary has known JFK since his student days at Choate and will boast that she and JFK
smoked marijuana on more than one occasion in a White House bedroom.
Beginning early this year, David Ferrie - by his own account - begins working as
“investigator and law clerk” in the New Orleans office of Wray Gill, one of Carlos Marcello’s
many lawyers. A New Orleans witness who knew both men says, “Marcello thought Ferrie was
very intelligent.” Conspiracy[77]
January 1, 1963 Oswald fills out an order form for a pistol (SW .30, 2-inch barrel)
from a West Coast company, Sea Port Traders, Inc. For some reason, probably a lack of funds, he
waits to place the order until 3/21/63. Some time this month, Oswald will send $206 to the State
Department, thus completing repayment of the $435 loan that had been made to him in Russia
the previous spring. He is now free to seek a new passport and travel outside the United States.
This month, Task Force W is replaced by new CIA group called Special Affairs Staff. Desmond FitzGerald replaces William Harvey as the CIA’s manager of covert action against
Cuba. He suggests that a tiny explosive be installed in a rare seashell to be left in a place where
Castro might skin-dive and pick it up. This will supposedly prove to be beyond the Agency’s
technical capability. These attempts on Castro’s life continue despite earlier JFK directives to
halt all Cuban operations.
This month, JFK announces plan to reduce oilmen’s tax breaks.
This year, Sam Giancana's position as a Mafia leader will become shaky. During 1963,
he will react, sometimes emotionally, to the intense FBI coverage to which he is subject. In
midyear, he goes to Federal court (an unprecedented act) to seek an injunction against the close
surveillance, but loses on appeal. Anthony Tisci, his son-in-law, will be in daily attendance
during the trial, trying to help Giancana. This will raise questions about a possible conflict of
interest, since Tisci is at the time on the payroll of Roland Libonati, a congressional
representative from Chicago to the House and the media plays up the story. Shortly thereafter,
Giancana will make national headlines again when he and Phyllis McGuire, a frequent
companion, are guests at the Cal-Neva Lodge at Lake Tahoe, which is partially owned by Frank
Sinatra, and then at the entertainer's Palm Springs, Calif., home. The Nevada Gaming
Commission demands that Sinatra break off this friendship. Sinatra responds that he will sell his
interests in Cal-Neva and the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. This national attention and Giancana's
prolonged absences from Chicago lead his colleagues to suggest that someone else lead the
family, at least during his time away. Giancana will be also greatly concerned that he will be
brought before the McClellan committee. [78]nnn

January 1, 2003: Methodist Episcopal – Baltimore Conference. The origin of this Church dates back into the eighteenth century.
A Methodist Class was formed in the home of Zachariah Connell, for whom Connellsville is named, in the 1790's. It was a preaching place on the Pittsburgh Circuit. When Pittsburgh was made a Station in 1811 Connellsville became the head of the Circuit. It continued to have various Circuit relationships until 1863 when it became a Station appointment. The first Church was a stone building. Bishop Francis Asbury dedicated the partially completed building on July 10, 1808.
The second Church, also a stone building, was built on Apple Street in 1848. The third Church was a brick building located on the corner of Apple Street and Meadow Lane in 1884. In 1921 the congregation moved to the Cameron School where they worshipped until June 1925, when they moved into the a stone Church on South Pittsburgh Street.
The membership in 1968 was 672. The name was changed in 1968 from First Methodist to Wesley United Methodist.
The membership on January 1, 2003 was 258. [82]

Continental Lane: Road over which Washington’s Army began its march to Trenton, December 26, 1776
We stopped by the Trenton Memorial on New Years (January 1) morning and as we peered through the window, to our surprise a man who name was Henry, peered out and asked if we would like to ride the elevator to the top. We had to sit down and finish our coffee, as we were quite stunned that here, on a national holiday, there was a man who didn’t take a day off. This was what made our visit unique and unforgettable. Henry took us up the monument in the smallest elevator I’ve ever been in and as we learned as we reached the top, one of the oldest. Henry informed us to not let the door blow shut at the top, as a crane would have to bring us down.
I believe that Henry, who was in his mid seventies, takes a great deal of pride in his job. The memorial was immaculate, considering the neighborhood, and as we left Henry was caring for the grounds. The point of this conversation is that this is not only the time on our trip that someone has shown up, as a volunteer, and taken time to help tell the story. The story of the place and what happened there. There were many places where people have shown up to help tell the story of the people who lived there. Those are the people I would like to thank. Those people who understand the importance of telling the story, and passing it along for the next generation. JG.

[15] Connolly. Dr. John Connolly. Born in Lancaster County around 1750. Nephew of George Croghan. Appointed in 1774 “Captain, Commandant of the Militia of Pittsburgh and its dependencies” by Lord Dunmore, Governor of Virginia. He was to claim the region as a part of West Augusta County, VA. His wife was Suzanna Semple—daughter of Samuel Semple the tavern owner. In 1774, Connolly changed the name of Fort Pitt to Fort Dunmore, and later that year returned to Virginia after residents of the Pittsburgh area met and declared allegiance to the colonies in their struggle against the Crown. After the Boston Tea Party the night of December 16, 1773, when Samuel Adams and other "Sons of Liberty" dressed as Mohawks, boarded ships in the harbor and threw the tea overboard, southwest PA was on the side of the revolutionists. This action and the reaction of the British Parliament, was greeted by Pittsburghers with a local ban on the drinking of tea. Some historians cite Connolly’s actions following this hostile action against the Crown together with several minor skirmishes back and forth between settlers and Indians to justify Dunmore’s War in 1774. When accused of stirring-up trouble between Indians and settlers he was jailed in Hanna's Town, but was released on bail awaiting trial and skipped town and headed back to Virginia. He was taken in Hagerstown, MD and held as a prisoner for the duration of the Revolutionary War. As late as 1798, Connolly was in Detroit meeting with other unrepentant Tories planning the capture of New Orleans to control the Mississippi for the Crown. Connolly was a through-and-through Tory as was his uncle George Croghan.

[35] Monroe (1758-1831) had recently been elected to his second term as president.
[36] See Monroe to AJ, December 12, 1820. Somerville, a former tutor of Monroe’s family and author of Somerville’s Plume of the Classics, or, Select Classical Pieces, in English Verse (Washington, 1820), was appointed professor of languages at Cumberland College on January 18. He later taught at other schools in Dickson and Davidson counties.
In 1815, Hall (c1765-1820), federal district judge for New Orleans, had fined Jackson $1,000 for contempt of court arising out of Jackson’s suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. On December 18, 1820, James Scallan had written Jackson of the illness of Hall and urged the appointment of Duncan as successor. Duncan (c1777-1823), one of Jackson’s volunteer aides during the Battle of New Orleans, was a defense counsel during Jackson’s trial before Hall. Duncan did not receive the appointment.
Spain ratified the Adams-Onis Treaty on October 24, 1820, and the United States ratified it on February 19, 1821. On March 10, Monroe commissioned Jackson to receive the transfer of Florida and to act as governor. Fort San Carlos de Barrancas, located about 9 miles south southwest of Pensacola, guarded the entrance of Pensacola Bay.
When the electoral votes for president were formally counted on February 14, Monroe received all but one.
[40] In March 1820, Congress had authorized Missouri to form a state government, but a clause in the proposed state constitution prohibiting the entrance of free blacks and julattoes into Missouri rekindled opposition to the territory’s admission. On December 13, 1820, the House of Representatives defeated a resolution admitting Missouri into the Union. The ensuing controversy was finally resolved by a second compromise championed by Henry Clay, and Monroe proclaimed the admission of Missouri as a state on August 10 (Annals of Congress).
[41] Mrs. Jackson, nee Rachel Donelson (c1767-1828). In 1786 Monroe had Married Elizabeth Kortright (c1763-1830), the daughter of a New York merchant.

The house, still standing, was the home of James W. Wood, who grew up here and was 15 years old when the war began. He joined the Confederate army in January 1864 and fought at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor. He also served with Jubal Early’s Valley army. After the war he served three terms in the West Virginia House of Delegates. http://www.visithardy.com/civil-war/wv-civil-war-history/
[57] To boost enlistment in Federal armed forces, a system of bounties was developed very early. Men who volunteered to serve for ninety days in 1862 received $25 from Uncle Sam, while those who signed up for a year got twice as much. Riswing throughout the conflict, the bounty paid to a five year volunteer after March 1863 was $400. It is not known what bounty William Harrison Goodlove received. Civil War 2010 Calendar
