January 22, 1349: SPEYER (Germany) http://www.jewishhistory.org.il/images/camera.gifThe Jewish community was destroyed. The Jewish inhabitants were either killed, converted or fled to Heidelberg. All their property - including the Jewish cemetery - was confiscated. [4]

January 22, 1521: Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor (nephew of the wife of the 7th cousin 15x removed), opens the Diet of Worms. The Diet of Worms would vote to declare Luther an outlaw, banning his literature, and requiring his arrest” and require that he be punished as a heretic. Ultimately this would lead to warfare between Charles and the rebellious Germanic princes who supported Luther. This outbreak of fighting would determine who “the real Charles was” when it came to dealing with Jews. Charles wore two hats or should we say, crowns. As King of Spain, he was the grandson of Ferdinand and Isabella, following in the footsteps, the monarchs who brought the inquisition to Spain and expelled the Jews in 1492. But as Holy Roman Emperor “he had issued a letter of protection for Germany’s Jews” and “did not tamper with the privileges extended by previous Emperors to his Jewish subjects. When the fighting broke out, Spanish troops came to Germany to support Charles against the rebellious Protestant princes. When the Jews complained that the Spanish troops were treating them in the “Spanish manner,” the Emperor issued an order to end the molestation of the Jews. So in this instance Charles worse his “German Hat” and ironically it was a better deal for the Jews of that time and place.[8]

In 1532, his daughter Anne (wife of the 7th cousin 15x removed) was granted a peerage, being created Marquess of Pembroke in her own right, before marrying Henry the following year and becoming queen consort. Boleyn acquiesced in her judicial execution and that of her brother Lord Rochford when Henry discarded her in favour of Jane Seymour. At this point Boleyn was replaced as Lord Privy Seal and left in disgrace until his death a few years later.[14] He suffered a final indignity as the claims of Piers Butler to the Earldom of Ormond were recognized and as he was styled earl of Ormond from January 22, 1538.[14] There were two earls of Ormond in the Kingdom until his death on March 12, 1539.[14][10]

Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, KG, (c. 1500[3] – January 22, 1552) was Lord Protector of England during the minority of his nephew King Edward VI (1547–1553), in the period between the death of King Henry VIII in 1547 and his own indictment in 1549.[11]
January 22, 1565: Howard died on March 19, 1539, a year before his daughter, Catherine, became queen of England.[8] His widow, Margaret, was among the ladies appointed to serve her stepdaughter when her household was formed in August 1540.[9] Margaret later married Henry Mannock. Although Steinman conjectured that Margaret Mundy's third husband was the Henry Mannox, executed in 1541, who had been music master to Katherine Howard in her youth, and had been involved in sexual indiscretions with her which later contributed to her downfall,[10] Bindoff established that Margaret Mundy's third husband, Henry Mannock, made his will on March 18, 1564, in which he disinherited both Margaret and his son.[11] Margaret (née Mundy) was buried at Streatham, Surrey, on January 22, 1565.[12][12]
January 22, 1570: Murray is assassinated at Linlithgow, by Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh. The Earl of Lennox succeeds him in the regency of Scotland. [13]
January 22, 1575: Death of the Duke of Chatelherault. His eldest son, the Earl of Arran, being insane. Lord John Hamilton, Commendator of
Arbroath, became the representative of that illustrious and powerful family. After Mary and her son, the commendator was nearest heir to the crown of Scotland. [14]
January 22, 1644: James VI & I (10th cousin 12x removed) was invested with the Order of the Garter in 1642,[8] and created Duke of York on January 22, 1644.[5] As the King's disputes with the English Parliament grew into the English Civil War, James stayed in Oxford, a Royalist stronghold.[9][15]
January 22, 1655: Cromwell famously stressed the quest to restore order in his speech to the first Protectorate parliament at its inaugural meeting on September 3, 1654. He declared that "healing and settling" were the "great end of your meeting".[96] However, the Parliament was quickly dominated by those pushing for more radical, properly republican reforms. After some initial gestures approving appointments previously made by Cromwell, the Parliament began to work on a radical programme of constitutional reform. Rather than opposing Parliament’s bill, Cromwell dissolved them on January 22, 1655.[16]
January 22, 1729: Birthdate of Gotthold Lessing, German poet, philosopher and playwright. Although a strong believing Christian, he advocated religious tolerance. His plays, such as “Die Juden” which appeared in 1749, portrayed the Jews as decent, admirable people. Lessing was a close friend of Moses Mendelssohn, who provided the inspiration for the character of Nathan in “Nathan the Wise” a play whose sympathetic portrayal of the Jews earned it the distinction of being banned by 18th century Christians and 20th century Nazis.[17]
January 22, 1775: Pope Pious VI reinforces all existing anti-Jewish legislation as part of his campaign against liberalism. He passed away in 1781.[18]

The British defeat an American militia force commanded by General James Winchester at the Battle of Raisin River, at the western end of Lake Erie, during the War of 1812.[19]
January 22, 1818: Treaty of the Creek Agency (1818)
The Treaty of the Creek Agency was signed on January 22, 1818, at the Creek Agency on the Flint River in Georgia. The treaty was handled for the U.S. by former Governor of Georgia David Brydie Mitchell who was serving as President James Monroe's (stepson of the grandnephew of the husband of the sister in law 10x removed) agent of Indian affairs for the Creek nation. The terms of the treaty ceded two tracts of land to the United States in exchange for $120,000 paid to the Creeks over the course of 11 years.[20]

January 22, 1862: 57th Regiment Infantry. Orgainzed at Camp Vance, Findlay, Ohio, September 16th, 1861. Moved to Camp Chase, Ohio, January 22, 1862. At the age of 15 years[22], Dr. William McKinnon Goodlove (1st cousin, 3 times removed) enlisted as a soldier in the 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and served to the close of the war in the 15th Army Corps, under Gen. John A. Logan, “Sherman’s Army,” and was discharged at Little Rock, Arkansas. [23]
January 22, 1863: Immediately after arriving at Helena, January 22d, it became apparent that a change of camp would be necessary in consequence of the rising waters of the river and streams in the vicinity. The encampment was immediately transferred from the river bank to the first line or hills in the rear of Fort Curtis. But although able to escape from the water, it was impossible to escape from the mud which seemed unfathomable. It soon became necessary to raise and pike the road leading to Helena, about one mile distant, from whence the supplies must come. Helena itself soon became a semblance of Venice. Main street could be traveled only in canoes. The citizens could get to market and visit their neighbors only in canoes. The Mississippi poured its mighty flood in front of the town, while its back waters forced their way through its streets and formed a broad expanse of water far away to either side. Much difficulty was experienced in landing and securing the necessary government supplies. The spectacle presented when these waters subsided may be better imagined than described. As soon as the streets became navigable for six-mule army wagons, they were called into requisition. The wet ground soon became an impassable slough. Boards were stuck into the ground all over the place with the warning motto of “No Bottom” painted on them. The sick list, which had been fearfully large ever since the arrival of the regiment, was swelling to still greater proportions.
The average of fatality was not less than one per day in our regiment alone, while the hills rising high in our rear were being rapidly dotted over with new-made graves from those around us. This was to us the darkest period in the history of our military experience. Numbers were dropping into their last long sleep, not upon fields hallowed by the victors' blood shed in defense of our country's honor, but by the slow and certain power of disease.
The skill of the surgeons, although unremitting in the discharge of their laborious duties, seemed almost powerless. Chronic diarrhea and camp fever (an admixture of all fevers) bore away many of the strongest men. [24]

January 22, 1998: Civil War prison camp on Arsenal
ARSENAL ISLAND -- On a crisp winter day, the Stars and Stripes lapped softly in the icy breeze coming off the Mississippi River. The sunlight bathed a field of uniform white stones marking the graves of American patriots -- graves many Americans don't know exist. It's not that soldiers in the graves are unknown. Each grave is identified. It isn't that they're historically insignificant. They fought and suffered valiantly.
They were just fighting for what many say was the wrong side.
The Civil War was long ago, and to northerners, far away. However, in 1863, the Union brought the war to a small, rocky island in the Mississippi.
Two days before Christmas, a train rustled into Rock Island and passed over a wooden bridge to the island where a landmark clock tower was being built, and unloaded 468 Confederate soldiers captured in battles near Chattanooga, Tenn.
They were the first prisoners of war incarcerated on the 12-acre Confederate prison camp on the northern side of the island. Before the camp closed 20 months later, 1,964 prisoners died and were buried in the cemetery on Rodman Avenue.
Dan Whiteman is director of the Rock Island Arsenal Museum and resident expert on the cemetery's history. He said it has a fascination for the 50,000 people who visit the site each year.
``The romance of the Confederacy has been, even for northerners, a rather persistent thing,'' Mr. Whiteman said. ``Americans love the underdog. It's interesting to walk through, but it is all the same. That's part of the drama of it, of course.''
The white marble gravestones, in rows of 100, contain only the soldier's name, regiment and grave number. Unlike the rounded stones in the National Cemetery down the road, the tops are pointed. Mr. Whiteman isn't sure why.
``The story among (Confederates) was it was to keep the Yankees from taking their ease'' atop the gravestones, Mr. Whiteman said.
The camp wasn't operating long before a cemetery was needed. The winter of 1863 was exceptionally cold, something Southern soldiers weren't accustomed to.
To make matters worse, prisoners on the first train were infected with smallpox, pneumonia and dysentery. Ninety-eight died within the month. Before spring, the Confederate cemetery held more than 900 graves. Nearly 30 Union guards also died.
The first prisoners to die were quickly buried adjacent to the prison grounds. Not long after, in February 1864, the bodies were moved to the present site to improve sanitary conditions and end the plague. The prisoner death rate then dropped considerably.
In June, the Secretary of War ordered prisoner rations cut in response to conditions Union soldiers faced in the infamous prisoner of war camp at Andersonville, Georgia.
Malnutrition contributed to the scurvy deaths of at least 12 prisoners, and while it remained a problem, the subsequent drop in the death rate belied rumors of starvation.
After the war, prison buildings were razed. Ornate stone officers' quarters were erected along what is now Terrace Drive.
In following years, the camp gained an allegedly unearned reputation as a place of suffering, torture and death. Many referred to it as the ``Andersonville of the North.'' The myth was fed by articles written by Confederate veterans and published in Confederate magazines.
In her epic Civil War novel, ``Gone with the Wind,'' author Margaret Mitchell noted these accounts in a paragraph which claims ``at no place were conditions worse than at Rock Island.'' The fictional character Ashley Wilkes was said to have been held at Rock Island, in the ``hellhole of the north.''
Although camp conditions certainly were not pleasant, many of those ``memories'' were proven false. ``The death rate here was not extraordinary,'' Mr. Whiteman said, ``compared to what the soldiers would have faced in the field.''
While nearly 2,000 Confederate soldiers died at Rock Island, more than 13,700 Union soldiers died in Andersonville.
The Union kept fairly good records of prisoners who came through the camp, which Mr. Whiteman said he refers to often, particularly when he's contacted by prisoners' ancestors, trying to trace their genealogy.
Sometimes, he can't help them, he said. ``They want to know if (their relative) was married, what was his wife's name,'' information that isn't in the records, he said.
Over the years, families of about a dozen of the dead Confederates moved their relatives' bodies from the cemetery to family plots. Most however, remain in the cemetery. On Memorial Day, a Confederate flag is placed at every grave and ``Taps'' is played.
Through it all, the American flag flies. For the Confederates, it's perhaps an insult to forever lie in the shadow of the flag they defied. However, Mr. Whiteman said it is there to claim them as our own, although they died swearing allegiance to another banner.
He said the men are honored as Americans who gave their lives for a cause they deemed sacred.

[25]In 1862, the U.S. War Department authorized the formation of the 37th Infantry to show that men past draft age were willing and able to go war. The unit of 914 men was assembled that December at Camp Strong near Muscatine, Iowa. The oldest man was 80 year old Pvt. Curtis King. Six men were in their 70s, including 72 year old drummer, Nicholas Ramey. Another 136 men were in their 60s. Nearly all of the members of the regiment were over 45.
Required to hike in the mud and sleep in the rain like other soldiers, the Graybeards were spared not of the rigors of army life. They were, however, exempted from combat duty, serving instead as guards of military prisons, railroads, and arsenals in Missouri, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Only three men were killed in action, but 145 died of disease and 364 were discharged because of physical disabilities.
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.

[26] The prison at Rock Island stood on an island in the Mississippi River between the cities of Rock Island, Illinois, and Davenport, Iowa. The island itself was about three miles long and half mile wide. Though the prison was not quite completed, over five thousand prisoners were sent during the month of December, 1863, and from that time on the prison usually contained from five thousand to eight thousand prisoners until the end of the war.
