February 1, 1780: Month of February. February 1st. Toward morning the air was fair and the course set W by N. As soon as the air cleared up, the tongues of the men loosened again. About half past three we passed the men-of-war, which had anchored before the bar because of the lack of depth. At last, about four o’clock, we caught sight with true joy of the lighthouse of Tybee on the coast of Georgia. Toward six o’clock in the evening a large part of the fleet anchored safely in the mouth of the Savannah River, where to our ? we found over eighteen sail of the fleet which we had given up for lost.

February 1, 1781 : Battle of Cowan's Ford - [15]
February 1, 1794
Harrison County, Kentucky created 1793 from Bourbon and Scott Counties to commence Feb. 1. 1794.
Harrison County was named for Col. Benjamin Harrison, an early resident of Bourbon, the first Sheriff of that county, and its representative in the State at the time of the formation of Harrison County. He was a native of Pennsylvania and removed to Bourbon prior to its formation as a county in 1785, where he held many prominent positions, etc.[16]

February 1, 1813: Harrison advanced to the site of Fort Meigs with an army which ultimately numbered 4,000 men (mainly militia) and began construction of the fort on February 1, 1813. Harrison contemplated a hit-and-run attack across the frozen Lake Erie against the British position at Amherstburg, but found that the ice was breaking up and returned to the half-finished fort.[1] He found the officer he had left in charge, Joel B. Leftwich, had left with all his men because the enlistment period of the militia units assigned to the task had expired. Construction had halted, and the wood that had been cut was being used as firewood.
As the enlistments of Harrison's Ohio and Kentucky militia were also about to expire, Harrison disbanded his force and departed for Cincinnati, Ohio, to raise a fresh army. He left Engineer Major Eleazer D. Wood to complete the construction of the fort. The garrison consisted of several hundred men from the 17th and 19th U.S. Infantry, who were inadequately clothed, plus militia from Pennsylvania and Virginia whose own enlistments were soon to expire.
The fort was on the south bank of the Maumee, near the Miami Rapids. Across the river were the ruins of the old British Fort Miami and the site of the 1794 Battle of Fallen Timbers. Fort Meigs occupied an area of 8 acres (32,000 m2), the largest constructed in North America to that date. The perimeter consisted of a fifteen-foot picket fence, linking eight blockhouses. The north face was protected by the Maumee, and the east and west faces by ravines. The south face was cleared of all timber to create an open glacis.[2] [20]

From Wm. L. Love
Webster No. Ca.
Menny of your former political supporters are secessionists. I still stand firm for the Union and find many Dems as I am-But the leaders of Dem. In Jackson-such as Fisher, Dills, Allison, &c are Dimunionists. “Thad” is sound.
On the 16th or 17 ult sen. Simons[23] made a Speech in the U.S. Senate in which he said the first “Liberty Law” was enacted by a Dem. Legislature signed by a Dem Gov. &c. This is a sweet morsel. I relish any thing that makes Dem. Look damnable. Who was this Dem. Gov. What appointments did “Polk” give him? I would very much like to know what was the political character of “The “ several Leg’s that passed these Laws-who was then Gov&c. that is if they were Dem.
Let me hear from you-

Zebulon Vance to James A. Seddon, February 1, 1865:
(Zebulon Vance is at the time, the Governor of North Carolina.)
Dear Sir:
I beg leave to call your attention to the conditions of the Federal prisoners of war at Salisbury, N.C. Accounts read me of the most distressing character in regard to their suffering and destitution. I earnestly request you to have the matter inquired into and if in our power, to relieve them, that it be done. If they are willfully left to suffer when we can avoid it, it would be not only a blot in our humanity, but would lay us open to severe retaliation. I know how strained our means are, however, it will cast no blame upon any one without further information.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Z. B. Vance

Job Kirby[25], son of William Kirby, was born in 1816, and came to America with his mother in 1849. He was unmarried, and when the Civil War broke out, he enlisted in a New York State regiment (Company G, 104th Regiment, New York Volunteers), and went to the front. After one year of service he was taken prisoner by Confederates. He was paroled, but his patriotism led him back into the army and he was taken prisoner a second time. He was held in a stockade at Salisbury[26], North Carolina, where from exposure and neglect he died and was buried February 1, 1865, aged forty-eight years.[27]

In February 1865 a new exchange program was finally approved. Men at the Salisbury Prison were divided into two groups in order to be liberated. The largest group consisted of 3729 of the more able-bodied prisoners who were marched to Greensboro, North Carolina and then taken by train to Wilmington, North Carolina to be received by Confederate Major Robert F. Hoke. The second group, containing 1420 of the sickest prisoners was sent to Richmond. The Prison then became a supply depot, but it had no prisoners when on April 12, 1865 (3 days after Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox) Union General George Stoneman arrived in Salisbury to free the Federals. The Prison was burned, the only one recorded as having been destroyed in this manner. A confederate Government flag that once flew over the gates is now housed at the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh. [28]

11,700 unknown Union soldiers are thought to be buried in 18 trenches, each 240 feet long, dug in an abandoned corn field outside the Confederate Prisonprison019_small1 stockades. Government records indicate about half that many. Salisbury National Cemetery encompassed this mass grave site, now a grassy expanse marked by a head and foot stone for each trench.
In the upper end of the stockade was a spring that supplied the water for theFresh water stream prison. The lower end of the stream was the latrine area. There were also trips made outside the prison to a nearby stream for fresh water. Unaware that bacteria could travel upstream, the rest is history.General George Stoneman

Gilbert and Marshall Islands
February 1, 1942
February 1, 1942: Enterprise's Task Force 8 raided Kwajalein, Wotje, and Maloelap in the Marshall Islands, sinking three ships, damaging eight, and destroying numerous airplanes and ground facilities. Enterprise received only minor damage in the Japanese counterattack, as her group retired to Pearl Harbor.
During the next month the Enterprise group swept the central Pacific, attacking enemy installations on Wake and Marcus Islands.[35]
February 1, 1941: Prime Minister Churchill instructed his Foreign Minister, Anthony Eden, to send a warning to Romanian dictator Ion Antonescu telling him “that we will hold him and immediate circle personally responsible in life and limb” if the Iron Cross did not stop their murderous attacks on the Jews.[36]
February 1, 1943: Detached after the battle, the Enterprise carrier arrived at Espiritu Santo on February 1, and for the next three months operated out of that base, covering U.S. surface forces up to the Solomons. Enterprise then steamed to Pearl Harbor.[37]
February 1, 1943: Most of the 1,500 Jews remaining in Buczacz who had not been sent to Belzac were murdered.[38]
February 1, 1961 Less than a week after Mrs. Oswald’s Washington visit, the State
Department sends a “Welfare-Whereabouts” memo to Moscow.
Oswald’s Diary: Feb. 1st Make my first request to American Embassy, Moscow for
reconsidering my position. I stated "I would like to go back to U.S."
JFK meets today with his National Security Council (NSC) to formulate National Security
Action Memorandum 2 (NSAM2). The document calls for “an expanded guerrilla program,” the
addition of 3,000 men to the Army’s 1,000-man Special Forces, funded by a budget increase of $19
million, and a reallocation of $100 million within the Defense Department for “unconventional
wars.” [39]
February 1, 1962 Marilyn Monroe meets Robert Kennedy at a dinner party in
Peter Lawford’s California beach house. Later this night, the actress will tell a friend, the two of
them talk alone in the den. In characteristic fashion, Monroe has prepared questions of topical
interest and asks whether it is true that J. Edgar Hoover might soon be fired. Robert replies that
“he and the President didn’t feel strong enough to do so, though they wanted to.” Lawford’s house has
been bugged by the FBI, so this information goes directly to J. Edgar Hoover.
This month, Richard Bissell leaves the CIA. (JFK has forced this move following the Bay of
Pigs disaster) JFK had offered Bissell a lateral move to a position within the agency, but Bissell
feels it is of the “fast track” and has turned it down. He accepts another political “plum” -- the
presidency of the Institute for Defense Analysis. [40]
February 1, 1963 On page 1 (of 6) of a Naval Intelligence Memorandum dated

February 1, 2002: Kyle Berger. "Tracing roots to Aaron: Kohanim represent the original Jewish priesthood." The Western Jewish Bulletin (Vancouver, B.C., Canada, February 1, 2002). Excerpts:
"Today, it is estimated that approximately five per cent or 350,000 men of the seven million male Jews around the world are kohanim.... So, now I know that, not only am I a direct descendant of Moses' brother, but I am a member of the Jewish priesthood who carries the heavy responsibilities of keeping the traditions of the kohanim alive.... In early 1997, Nature reported that a research team had found a unique genetic chromosome linking kohanim across the globe. Prof. Karl Skorecki... along with his researchers, found that the 188 unrelated kohanim they tested shared a variation of the Y chromosome which linked them to Aaron, who was born in 2365 BCE. This specific chromosome would only be passed from father to son. This research provided proof that the priesthood established by Aaron probably did exist as the Torah details it. However, not everyone in the scientific world agreed with Skorecki's conclusions. Dr. Avshalom Zoossmann-Diskin... attempted to cast doubt on Skorecki's findings. In an article published in the Jerusalem Post, February 28, 2001, Zoossmann-Diskin claimed that studies of kohanim are 'problematic and arrive at conclusions that are not supported by all available data.'... But Skorecki maintained his claims to be true and said the findings of his research team have been corroborated several times since then. OK. So, now I accept that I probably really am a descendant of Aaron and that kohanim are supposed to be the role models of the Jewish people."
Dr. Levon Yepiskoposyan (Yerevan, Armenia), Head of the Institute of Man and President of the Armenian Anthropological Society:
"Indeed there are some evidences of genetic relation between Armenians and Jews. Jewish population could preserve 'genetic signature' of their ancient ancestors in male Y chromosome - in genetically isolated communities of Cohanim. It is so called 'Cohanim modal haplotype' - CMH. We found the presence of CMH in modern Armenians as well. This is a strong evidence of ancient genetic contacts between Armenians and Hebrews. We suppose that these contacts took place about 3-4k years ago. Our paper on Y chromosome diversity in the Armenian population is in press. It is impossible to establish the ethnic origin of any person according to blood ABO groups."

[23] Senator Simmon’ speech was delivered on January 6, 1861. In the course of his remarks he attempted to defend the Republican party fro the charge that it was responsible for the sectional crisis and said, among other things, that “The first personal liberty bill…was passed when both houses of the Massachusetts Legislature were Democratic, with a Democratic Governor approving of it; and the negro equality law passed the same month…And that same Governor who signed this personal liberty bill and the negro equality bill, was sent into the Senate for the best office in New England, nominated by Mr. Polk, and every Democratic Senator voted for him…” Cong. Globe, 36 Congress, 2 session, part 1 (January 16, 1861), p. 407. The Massachusetts liberty law, entitled “An Act further to Protect personal Liberty Approved by Governor…” of March 25, 1843, is printed in the Norfolk Democrat (Dedham, Massachusetts), April 21, 1843. As to the complexion of the legislature there is some question. The Democrats were in power except in the house, where they had the speaker and the standing committees against them. In the house of 357 members there were 177 Democrats, 175 Whigs and five Liberty party members, who held the balance of power. But during the last week of the session, some “illegal” members having been eliminated, and with one or two members deserting party, the bill was passed.

[25] By coincidence, on the same day that I discovered that Job Kirby was at the Salisbury Prison, I found out that that my daughter, Anna Lee Goodlove was to play in a soccer tournament the weekend of July 22, 2006 and be staying in nearby Winston-Salem.
Upon arrival to Salisbury, North Carolina:
The librarian at the History room at the Rowan County Library in Salisbury N.C. had done some research for me prior to our arrival. Upon our arrival, she shared some interesting information that was not what we had suspected.
Phillip Barton
Library Director
Rowan Public Library
PO Box 4039
201 West Fisher Street
Salisbury, NC 28145-4039
There was no record of Job at the Salisbury National Cemetery. There was a record of his being treated at the Salisbury Prison Hospital and being released.
There was a record of him in the “Index of Prisoners of War of the United States Army Who Enlisted in the Rebel Service at Salisbury, N.C.”
This of course was not what we expected and after doing additional research at the Salisbury Library, my 15 year old daughter, Jacqulin Kirby Goodlove and I made our way to the nearby Salisbury National Cemetery.
There is strangeness that permeates this place that is difficult to explain. It is clearly a
memorial to those who gave their lives for the ideals of the Union, located in a place surrounded by those who fought for the south or were from descendants of slaves and slave owners and their families. It represents more than that however, to those who have friends or family members who were POW’s or soldier’s that are missing or whereabouts are “unknown.” There are many unanswered questions at this place. More questions than answers. “Unknown” graves and unknown stories. What is Job’s story?
During our visit I learned from a former employee of the cemetery that the museum at the cemetery has been closed for years. We arrived prior to the 4:30 PM closing time however we learned that the people that assist in finding graves often leave early. There are many markers that indicate “Unknown Soldier” at the cemetery. Also there is a large area with no markers. These are the eighteen trenches that many were buried without markers because there were too many. The lady at the library said that they know virtually everyone that died at Salisbury. Perhaps they just don’t know who was buried where. It is a solemn place that stretches about sixteen acres. This is not the prison, or the yard. Only the grave area that was outside the prison, across the train tracks in a nearby corn field. A train passed on those tracks while we stood and watched. It reminded me of how that sound of the train must have made those feel that were already in the prison while it brought more men to an already starved and overcrowded prison yard. There are now many more questions than answers. Questions about Job Kirby, of how and where he died. Questions about his desertion to the confederate army and when he was admitted and released from the Salisbury prison hospital.
[26] On a knoll in the beautifully maintained Historic Salisbury National Cemetery lies an area marked by the absence of individual tombstones. Under the grassy mantle and stately tree are the remains of some of the men who died at the Salisbury Confederate Prison.
