February 7, 457: Leo I becomes emperor of the Byzantine Empire. As can be seen from this decree, Leo was no friend of the Jewish people. "Therefore We, desiring to accomplish what Our Father failed to effect, do hereby annul all the old laws enacted with reference to the Hebrews, and We order that they shall not dare to live in any other manner than in accordance with the rules established by the pure and salutary Christian Faith. And if anyone of them should be proved to, have neglected to observe the ceremonies of the Christian religion, and to have returned to his former practices, he shall pay the penalty prescribed by the law for apostates." Jews who converted in public but were found practicing “the faith of their fathers” faced a variety of punishments including loss of estates and possession, loss of the right to transfer property to their heirs and/or loss of life.[1]

Empress Matilda (c. February 7, 1102 – September 10, 1167), also known as Matilda of England or Maude, was the daughter and heir of King Henry I of England. Matilda and her younger brother, William Adelin, were the only legitimate children of King Henry to survive to adulthood.[2]
February 7, 1413: In Aragon (Spain), Vincente Ferrer returned and assisted by an apostate Joshua Lorki (Geronimo de Santa Fe), known to the Jews as Hamegadef (the blasphemer) convinced Anti-Pope Benedict XIII to stage a disputation at Tortosa. It was presided over by the Pope himself and lasted for a period of twenty-one months in sixty-nine sessions. The Jews, led by Vidal Benvenisti and Joseph Albo, were faced with an opening salvo by Benedict when he made the expected outcome clear. Hamegadef attacked the Talmud as anti-Christian and urged its banning. None of the Jews' counter-arguments were officially recorded.[3] 1413-1422: The exploits of Henry V, who reigned from 1413 to 1422, also marked a turning point inh securing new respectability for the English language3. Henry (4th cousin 8x removed) became the first English king since 1066 to use English in his official documents. [4]
February 7, 1444: Margaret Beaufort (wife of the stepson of the 4th cousin 18x removed) was married to Suffolk's son, John de la Pole. The wedding may have been held between January 28, and February 7, 1444, when she was perhaps a year old, but certainly no more than three. However there is more evidence to suggest they were married in January 1450 after Suffolk had been arrested and was looking to secure his son's future.[5]
February 7, 1542: Catherine Howard (wife of the 7th cousin 15x removed) herself remained in limbo until Parliament passed a bill of attainder on February 7, 1542.[13] The bill made it treason, and punishable by death, for a queen consort to fail to disclose her sexual history to the king within twenty days of their marriage, or to incite someone to commit adultery with her.[14] This solved the matter of Catherine's supposed precontract and made her unequivocally guilty.[6]
At Fotheringhay on the evening of February 7, 1587, Mary Queen of Scots (9th cousin was told that she was to be executed the next morning.[210] She spent the last hours of her life in prayer, distributing her belongings to her household, and writing her will and a letter to the King of France.[211] The scaffold that was erected in the Great Hall was two feet high and draped in black. It was reached by two or three steps and furnished with the block, a cushion for her to kneel on and three stools, for her and the earls of Shrewsbury and Kent, who were there to witness the execution.[212] The executioners (one named Bull and his assistant) knelt before her and asked forgiveness. She replied, "I forgive you with all my heart, for now, I hope, you shall make an end of all my troubles."[213] Her servants, Jane Kennedy and Elizabeth Curle, and the executioners helped Mary to remove her outer garments, revealing a velvet petticoat and a pair of sleeves in crimson-brown, the liturgical colour of martyrdom in the Catholic Church,[214] with a black satin bodice and black trimmings.[215] As she disrobed she smiled and said that she "never had such grooms before ... nor ever put off her clothes before such a company".[216] She was blindfolded by Kennedy with a white veil embroidered in gold, knelt down on the cushion in front of the block, on which she positioned her head, and stretched out her arms. Her last words were, "In manus tuas, Domine, commendo spiritum meum" ("Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit").[217]

Mary was not beheaded with a single strike. The first blow missed her neck and struck the back of her head. The second blow severed the neck, except for a small bit of sinew, which the executioner cut through using the axe. Afterward, he held her head aloft and declared, "God save the Queen." At that moment, the auburn tresses in his hand turned out to be a wig and the head fell to the ground, revealing that Mary had very short, grey hair.[218] A small dog owned by the queen, a Skye terrier, is said to have been hiding among her skirts, unseen by the spectators. Following the beheading, it refused to be parted from its owner's body and was covered in her blood, until it was forcibly taken away and washed.[219] Items supposedly worn or carried by Mary at her execution are of doubtful provenance;[220] contemporary accounts state that all her clothing, the block, and everything touched by her blood was burned in the fireplace of the Great Hall to obstruct relic-hunters.[219]

When the news of the execution reached Elizabeth, she became indignant and asserted that Davison had disobeyed her instructions not to part with the warrant and that the Privy Council had acted without her authority.[221] Elizabeth's vacillation and deliberately vague instructions gave her plausible deniability, to attempt to avoid the direct stain of Mary's blood.[222] Davison was arrested, thrown into the Tower of London, and found guilty of misprision. He was released 19 months later after Cecil and Walsingham interceded on his behalf.[223]
Mary's request to be buried in France was refused by Elizabeth.[224][7]
February 7, 1550: Julius III becomes Pope. Julius had mixed record where it concerned the Jewish people which made better than most of his contemporaries or others who served as Pope. Julius confirmed the rights of the Jews in Ancona. “He condemned the blood libel and forbade baptism of Jewish children without parental consent.” At the same time, he was unable to stand up against the power of the Holy Office. Under pressure from the Inquisitor General he collected copies of the Talmud and other Jewish books and burned them.[8]
February 7, 1562: Lord James Stuart (9th cousin 13 x removed) is created Earl of Marr. [9]
February 7, 1569: The Bishop of Ross and Lord Herries return from London, and present to Mary the official record =^ of the conferences which had been held at York, Westminster, and Hampton Court, and which contained a transcript of the most important documents produced in the name of the Queen of Scotland at the different conferences. Her majesty, after examining the record, gives, on 9th February, a warrant of approval to her commissioners. [10]

February 7, 1587: The Earls of Shrewsbury and Kent, accompanied by Andrews, the Sheriff of Northamptonshire, arrive with their retinue at Fotheringay. The two earls wait upon Mary, and announce to her
that her execution is to take place next morning. That princess replied that she was ready to die in the Catholic faith, which she had always professed, and that, in that solemn moment, she repeated the assurance which she had invariably given, that she had never conspired against the life of Elizabeth.
The request which the Queen of Scots had made to see her confessor having been denied to her, she wrote to him, requesting absolution for her sins. She then assembled all her servants, distributed among
them what remained of her money and trinkets, and spent a part of the night in devotion and preparing her last settlements. [11]
February 7, 1649: Charles I burial:
Burial
February 7, 1649
Windsor, England
[12] Charles was buried in private on the night of February 7, 1649, inside the Henry VIII vault in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. The royal retainers Sir Thomas Herbert, Capt. Anthony Mildmay, Sir Henry Firebrace, William Levett Esq. and Abraham Dowcett (sometimes spelled Dowsett) conveyed the King's body to Windsor.[181][182] The King's son, King Charles II, later planned an elaborate royal mausoleum, but it was never built.[13]
February 7, 1753
Anne (half 4th great grandaunt) the 1st daughter of Daniel McKinnon and Ruth his wife Born February 7, 1753[14] Ann McKinnon, according to Torrence, was born February 7, 1753.[15] She died December 12, 1830. She married Thomas Rogers.[16] Among their children is probably the Daniel Rogers of Connellsville who married Mary Meason, a daughter of Isaac Meason and Catherine Harrison.[17] Anne McKinnon was born February 7, 1753 and about 1775 married Thomas Rogers born about 1747 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. No record of this marriage can be found in Anne Arundel County. Anne died December 12, 1830. They had eight children. [18]
February 7, 1774
In recent months Michael Cresap had grown disenchanted with the Redstone Creek area: it had become rowdy and congested, filled with transients tramping all over one’s property. So when a pair of brothers named Brown showed up one day and offered to buy all his claims fronting on the Monongahela just south of Redstone Creek, he sold out to them. The Brown brothers immediately began laying out a town on the land and called it Brownsville, while Cresap used the money he got to equip himself well for the claiming he meant to do down the Ohio this spring. In addition he had formed a loose association with George Rogers Clark and William Crawford, who were actively employed by the Ohio Land Company and looking to the establishment of a new colony beginning at the mouth of the Kanawhaa, Even more exciting——and dangerous, was the fact that George Washington, one of the founding members of the company. was not only intent on claiming some 200,000 acres along the Ohio but had hired John Floyd to locate lands right in the midst of the Shawnee territory in Ohio - His orders to Floyd were to claim for him some 10,000 acres of prime bottom lands in the valley of the Scioto. [19]
February 7, 1775 - Benjamin Harrison (5th great granduncle) headed a party of Virginia partisans who broke open the jail at Hannastown and released the prisoners. Harrison had orders from William Crawford (6th great grandfather) to "press Horses, Raise men, &c, Go to Hanna's Town, open the Gaol Doors and Set the Prisoners at Liberty."[20]
February 7th, 1775
On the 7th of February, 1775, in the morning , before the people of the town were out of bed, a party headed by Benjamin Harrison, son-in-law of William Crawford, and one Samuel Wilson, by order of Crawford, broke open the doors of the jail with a sledge, which they got out of the blacksmith-shop near by,and let out the prisoners therein confined, three in number, teling the to cler the way. On that occasion Mr. Hanna poked his head out of the cockloft window of the mansion-house, which, never to be forgotten, was also the temple of justice, and made the remark, “Boys, you are up early to-day to buy a rope to hang yourselves.” Hanna appeared on the ground, and Sheriff John Carnahan, also there, had the riot act read to the crowd, who jeered at him and made mouths, grimaces, and very disparaging remarks, intended for the Governor’s province in general, and the magistrates there present in particular. Hanna had a musket pointed at his head. On the 25th of the month Hanna and Cavet were taken into custody and confined in the guard-room at Fort Pitt, and were there detained in confinement above three months.[21]
There was by this time a distinctive line drawn between the jurisdiction and the claims of the two colonies, and each of these had its adherents. Many of the most prominent had not given up the hope that the disturbances would be settled without difficulty, attributing that the most of the present troubles came from some hot-headed and rash men. But in the state of affairs getting still more complicated, and which had called demands from the Council of the king, and advices from the Continental Congress, it was not unreasonable that men of high character in every respect should be held by the ties which bound them under every consideration to their own colony. We are, therefore, not surprised to know that a s strenuously as Penn’s settlers and his agents advocated their rights and his claims, so as strenuously on the other side and as naturally did such men as Crawford and Gibson take the side of Virginia. In January of 1775 the Executive Council of Pennsylvania having had information that William Crawford, the president judge of Westmoreland, sided with the Virginians in opposing the justices of Pennsylvania, the Council advised the Governor to supersede him in the office of judge, which was done forthwith.
But of the troubles of the settlers during the fall and winter of 1774 and 1775 these were of the least. During the preceding summer the crops had been neglected, and winter found them unprepared. At the termination of Dunmore’s war a goodly number, as was always the case on the frontier, had returned to their former homes, and this accession of inhabitants, who were consumers and not producers, had a distressful effect. They could not have come in a worse time, for the amount of provisions gathered was barely sufficient for those that had remained. The harvest of 1774 at best had been scanty; along the southern border it had not been gathered at all. This season came very near to what the preceding year had been to Western Virginia, a year which in their annals was long remembered as the “starving year.” But with that generosity which was a noble and a prominent trait among the early settlers, each assisted the other. And this was but the prelude to a long era of want and privation, necessity, and contant alarm, which was terminated only with the war which secured the independence of the colonies.
Readers of general history are well conversant with the affairs which were taking place in Massachusetts and at Philadelphia in the early part of 1775. We will pass them over with observing that they were sympathetically responded to and closely watched by our colonists. Already were some, by more ways than one, controlling the actions of all.
From noticed of foregoing statements it will be observed that the whole people, as a body, at these early times may readily be separated into two classes, between which was a prominent line of demarcation. Although we alluded incidentally to this distinction before, at no other time is it more suitable to recall it than now. And this distinction is notecable all through our early affairs, and indeed is noticeable at all times and among all people. We may call them respectively, aristocrats and plebeians, gentry and commonalty; they are, in reality, the leaders and the followers. The class of which the county justices were themost prominent representatives, together with others who, in a military station, were equally prominent, deserves more than a passing notice. These were the ones who shaped the measures which received the approval of the people. As to these justices, we can at almost all times bear testimony to their integrity, and to their good, sound common sense They reflect honor upon their lineage in the capacity of judges, the arbiters of right and wrong. But besides this knowledge, which it is certain they possessed, an accompanying and an indispensable qualification for a prominent man was that he have some knowledge of arms. Nearly every man of that day distinguished as a leader in civil affairs was also a military man. Indeed, from the incessant wars, to be a man distinguished above the others was to be one who commanded the respect of his followers by having displayed more than ordinary bravery or knowledge of warfare. Of this class of men St. Clair, Capt. James Smith, Capt. Proctor, Col. Lochry were fitting examples with us; while those at Pittsburgh, Cols. Crawford, John Neville, John Gibson may be noticed. To have acquired a seat in the Assmbly, or a nomination as a justice of the peace, or of the quorum, was about as much as to say that the one so specially favored was, or had been, a leader in the militia.
The military organization of the Province had been early attended to, and no less from necessity was it than from a desire of glory that every citizen had a tincture of the manual of arms and of camp discipline. The justices of the peace were usually officers in the militia. St. Clair, Smith, Crawford, Neville had won a sort of pre-eminence in service before they were recognized as leaders in the civil affairs. The ideas of these men at the of our county at this conjuncture had been enlarged by connection with the more prominent men of the colonies, had been improved by observation, by travel, by reading, and by experience. So they were in manners, in information, in the possession of peculiar privileges and franchises bestowed by the colonial authorities, far above the great body of the people who came higher to earn their bread by drudgery, and clear a patch and rear a thatched cabin to shelter the heads of their ragged offspring; for these people, as a class, were poor to impoverishment. They had made little advancement in refinement, they were of different and distinct nationalities. Of all the early settlers they had no special claim above the others to the boasted liberty of those born under the common law of England. But it is with a peculiar satisfaction that the Westmorelander of today contemplates the proceedings of his ancestors in 1775.[22]
No. 28.—William CRAWFORD TO George WASHINGT0N.
February 7, 1775.
SIR :—Your letter by Mr. Cleveland was safely delivered to me; but I did not get the letter you mentioned by Mr. Willis till yesterday. I was out surveying when Mr. Cleveland came over the mountain, and he set off for home as soon as I came home, and matters were settled. I have a memorandum of what is wanting for your people down the river, and I shall have it ready against the time they come over the mountain. I would have sent down your plats by Mr. Cleveland, but he could not wait till they could be finished. However, Valentine Crawford is coming to Williamsburg, and then you shall have them sent to you. He will be down in a few days, which will, I hope, suit you as well, as he is coming, and will call at Mount Vernon on his way down. I am at a loss how to return you thanks for your generous present. All that I can do at any time shall always be done. If I can go down the river when you come, I will. And if you will but let me know what you may want got ready, it shall be done. I have a neat canoe that will suit to run down with; or you may go by land, as there is a road cut to Hockhocking. I shall write you more fully by Valentine Crawford, as Mr. Cleveland is in great haste to go to you, as he wants to be up again as soon as possible. I wish you all happmess.: I am, etc.[23]
February 7, 1775, Benjamin Harrison was the leader of a squad of militia which broke open the door of the jail at Pittsburgh with a sledge hammer and released three prisoners. "Harrison was pleased to announce that it was done at the command of Major William Crawford". (Crawford was the Father-in-law of Benjamin's brother William.)." He further asserted that these orders empowered him 'to press horses and what was necessary, and to go to Hanna's Town(4) to open the gaol and let the prisoners go out.' This command, also, he proceeded to carry out. In the course of the expedition, two Pennsylvania constables, Captain James Smith and Edward Murray, were apprehended for daring to execute the duties of their office. It was reported that the party had authority to shoot any Pennsylvania officer who dared to oppose them in the execution of the orders. In the face of such threats, the Westmoreland Justices and their sheriff had little heart for carrying out their duties. [24]
February 7, 1775
Even before the Revolutionary year of 1776-1783, the Harrisons, if not also Thomas Moore, were actively, violently asserting themselves with the aim of acquiring new lands. In the years leading up to the Revolutionm, a bitter confrontation had developed between Virginia and Pennsylvania over the ownership and control of a region of western Pennsylvania, which had been claimed by the French and which extended westward from the frontier English settlements to and and west from the Ohio River. The dispute arose after the French were defeated at the end of the French and Indian War (1754-1763). The Ohio Company, a corporation selling land, was established to promote settlement and trade with the Shawnee and other tribes. Many of the earliest western PA settlers were from Virginia and Maryland and held “certificates” issued to them in Virginia, which warranted to them access to Ohio lands claimed by Pennsylvania. After 1780, with the passage in PA of slave emancipation legislation, numbers of settlers in western PA, migrated into Kentucky. Before they left, they worked hard to make western PA (and, by extension, the Ohio country) part of Virginia.
Jurisdiction was not settled until after the Revolutionary War, when the two states appointed a commission that surveyed the lands. This commission simply extended westward the accepted PA-MD state line (the Mason-Dixon Line) and determined (1785) that the contested lands belonged to Pennsylvania But for a decade or more, prior to the agreement, conflicting land sales, claims, occupations and disputed taxes and assessments caused fights, riots and arrests by local officiaols appointed by both PA and VA authorities.
In early 1775, Pennsylvania authorities had arrested some partisans of Virginia’s claim. On February 7, 1775, William and Benjamin Harrison, and possibly also with their sister’s husband, Thomas Moore, went with a ropwdy company of men to Pittsburgh, entered the local jail and released th prisoners, with threats to shoot anyone who interfered. This exercise was repeated (with the arrest of PA-sponsored local judges) in the nearby hamlet Hanna’s Town (Hannastown), PA. On this occasion, Ben Harrison “was pleased to announce that it was done at the command of Major William Crawford.” The popular Crawford (see Index) was a land agent for George Washington and Ben and William Harrison’s father in law. Apparently the Pittsburgh and Hanna’s Town hooligans, sponsored by Govbernor Dunmore of Virginia, were energized by the p[romise of grants of Western lands. Additional investigation might prove that the Kentucky lands Ben Harrison and Thomas Moore claimed after the 1775 foray into P{A was a reward for these violent gambits. Shortly after the Hanna’s Town incident, Benjamin Harrison led surveyors into Kentucky and laid off thousands of acres of land for himself, his brother William and also for Thomas Moore, his sister’s husband. T
homas lands included a claim on 900 Ohio acres (Pickaway County), along Mill Creekl, where he took legal possession in 1786; he supplemented this with a purchase of 1,000 additional Mill
Creek acres, as evidenced by his will. This reach north across the Ohio River was probably the earliest connection of the Moore family into Ohio, where son William would be well known and William’s son, Marmaduke Moore (1808-1883) would meet and marry Jane Baldwin (1809-1893),
Why would the Harrisons, with family ties to Pennsylvania, have been inclined to risk their lives to become enforcers of Virginia territorial claims against Pennsylvania in 1775? Why might Thomas Moore, with ancestral ties to Maryland for 120 years, have joined them? These events were part of the quest for more land. Thomas Moore had long since left Maryland and gone west. He was the youngest of four brothers; the oldest, John (1730-1812), had inherited Arcadia Plantation in MD, where he died, unmarried. By 1769, young Thomas had immigrated to the West Augusta District, Virginia Colony. He had first spent some time in nearby Fayette County, PA, which is probably where he had encountered the Harrisons, and specifically Mary, whom he married in Fayette County about 1778. By the middle of the 1780s Thomas and Mary Moore were living in that extension of Virgina known as Kentucky. A briedf look at VA and PA land policies in the 1760s and ‘70s suggest why Kentucky settlers would have been prompted to side with Virginia against Pennsylvania’s claims to lands along the eastern bank of the upper Ohio River.
Virginia’s colonial officials were much more aggressive in sponsoring western settlements than were Pennsylvania’s. Governor Dunmore of Virginia was offering outright grants of western land and was selling lands cheaper than PA was. Also, the Harrisons and Moores would have known that Pennsylvania, in October 1758, had achieved peace with some Ohio Country Indian’s by renouncing Pennsylvania’s claims to lands west of the Appalachian Mountains. They would have known that this agreement, the Treaty of Easton, had been made because Pennsylvania, with its Quaker and pacifist traditions, alsoays had been slow to raise and pay for local militia to protect European settlers in the western reaches of the coloney. The proprietary colonty of William Penn, with its political establishment divided between Quaker pacifists, PhilaDELPHIA MERCHANTS, AND IMPATIENT, LAND HUNGRY settlers, was indecisive. Pennsylvania’s political paralysis on western land issues could be worked to the advantage of Virginia, or so concluded manyt long established families in Virginia and Maryland, whose sons, like George Washington, were unable or unwilling to carve up and share the family’s traditional lands in the established colonies and were anxsious to get onto huge tracts of frontier acreage.

Statue representing the signing of the Treaty of the Holston in Downtown Knoxville
The Treaty of Holston was a treaty between the United States government and the Cherokee signed on July 2, 1791, and proclaimed on February 7, 1792. It was signed by William Blount, governor in and over the territory of the United States south of the Ohio River, and superintendent of Indian affairs for the southern district for the United States and various representatives of the Cherokee peoples. The treaty established terms of relations between the United States and the Cherokee, and established that the Cherokee tribes were to fall under the protection of the United States, with the United States managing all future foreign affairs for all the loosely affiliated Cherokee tribes.
A monument to the treaty is located on the banks of the Tennessee River in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee.
Terms
This treaty mentions the following:
•Establishment of perpetual peace and friendship between the two peoples.
•Cherokees acknowledge protection of United States.
•Prisoners of war to be restored.
•Boundaries established between the Cherokee lands and the United States.
•Stipulation of a road by the United States.

An addendum to treaty was signed by Henry Knox, Secretary of War, representing the United States and representatives of the Cherokee on February 17, 1792, and proclaimed on the same day, which increased the annuities paid by the United States to the Cherokee leaders.[30]
February 7: 1812: On this day in 1812, the most violent of a series of earthquakes near Missouri causes a so-called fluvial tsunami in the Mississippi River, actually making the river run backward for several hours. The series of tremors, which took place between December 1811 and March 1812, were the most powerful in the history of the United States.
The unusual seismic activity began at about 2 a.m. on December 16, 1811, when a strong tremor rocked the New Madrid region. The city of New Madrid, located near the Mississippi River in present-day Arkansas, had about 1,000 residents at the time, mostly farmers, hunters and fur trappers. At 7:15 a.m., an even more powerful quake erupted, now estimated to have had a magnitude of 8.6. This tremor literally knocked people off their feet and many people experienced nausea from the extensive rolling of the earth. Given that the area was sparsely populated and there weren't many multi-story structures, the death toll was relatively low. However, the quake did cause landslides that destroyed several communities, including Little Prairie, Missouri.
The earthquake also caused fissures--some as much as several hundred feet long--to open on the earth's surface. Large trees were snapped in two. Sulfur leaked out from underground pockets and river banks vanished, flooding thousands of acres of forests. On January 23, 1812, an estimated 8.4-magnitude quake struck in nearly the same location, causing disastrous effects. Reportedly, the president's wife, Dolley Madison, was awoken by the tremor in Washington, D.C. Fortunately, the death toll was smaller, as most of the survivors of the first earthquake were now living in tents, in which they could not be crushed.
The strongest of the tremors followed on February 7. This one was estimated at an amazing 8.8-magnitude and was probably one of the strongest quakes in human history. Church bells rang in Boston, thousands of miles away, from the shaking. Brick walls were toppled in Cincinnati. In the Mississippi River, water turned brown and whirlpools developed suddenly from the depressions created in the riverbed. Waterfalls were created in an instant; in one report, 30 boats were helplessly thrown over falls, killing the people on board. Many of the small islands in the middle of the river, often used as bases by river pirates, permanently disappeared. Large lakes, such as Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee and Big Lake at the Arkansas-Missouri border, were created by the earthquake as river water poured into new depressions.
This series of large earthquakes ended in March, although there were aftershocks for a few more years. In all, it is believed that approximately 1,000 people died because of the earthquakes, though an accurate count is difficult to determine because of a lack of an accurate record of the Native American population in the area at the time.[31]

Tom. Moore (husband of the 5th great grandaunt) was the Captain Moore who married Mary Harrison, born 1761; died February 7, 1836, a daughter of Lawrence and Catheren Harrison. He was born in Kent County, Maryland in 1745; died October 20, 1823, in Harrison County, Kentucky; buried next to his wife in Poindexter Village, near Cynthiana. Joseph Vance, whose connections have not been gone into, was no doubt a relative of Honore Vance who married Hugh Crawford. All goes to show these families stuck together in early times. It appears that when the exploitation of lands in the Virginia County of Augusta, later Fayette County, Pennsylvania, was over, a number of persons, including Harrisons, went down the Ohio River to Limestone, now Maysville and up the Licking River to Cynthiana and Paris, Kentucky. They are found in Louisville and south of it on the Salt Licks and Salt River.[36]

The Lindsey Cemetery, which contains the Moore graves, is situated on private property, (the McNees farm) in Poindexter, a few miles west of the Cynthiana, KY. The cemetery is about a half mile east of and directly behind a highway marker identifying the location of the cemetery. The marker is on Harrison County Route 1743, “Carl Stephens Road.” You have to enter private property to get to the cemetery. Be nice.[37]
February 7, 1861
The Choctaw Indian Nation declares its allegiance to the Southern states.[38].
February 7-8, 1862: William Crawford Dawson was a Civil War hero and the first photographer in Elizabeth City. He was born in 1831 to Francis L. Dawson and Keziah Crawford, and was married to Nannie F. White. They had three children, William Crawford Dawson Jr., Joshua White Dawson, and Fannie Dawson. He died in 1872, and was buried in Hollywood Cemetery. Here is a brief description of his Civil War feat: During the Battle of Roanoke Island, a Confederate flag bearer was shot. According to Civil War "rules", if an army's flag touches the ground, it has lost the battle. So, in a swift act of galliantry, a soldier named William Crawford Dawson rushed to the scene and "rescued the colors", or, in other words, kept the flag from touching the ground. The flag is currently housed in a museum in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. [39]
The opening phase of what came to be called the Burnside Expedition, the Battle of Roanoke Island was an amphibious operation of the American Civil War, fought on February 7–8, 1862, in the North Carolina Sounds a short distance south of the Virginia border. The attacking force consisted of a flotilla of gunboats of the Union Navy drawn from the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, commanded by Flag Officer Louis M. Goldsborough, a separate group of gunboats under Union Army control, and an army division led by Brig. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside. The defenders were a group of gunboats from the Confederate States Navy, termed the Mosquito Fleet, under Capt. William F. Lynch, and about 2,000 Confederate soldiers commanded locally by Brig. Gen. Henry A. Wise. The defense was augmented by four forts facing on the water approaches to the island, and two outlying batteries. At the time of the battle, Wise was hospitalized, so leadership fell to his second in command, Col. Henry M. Shaw.
During the first day of the battle, the Federal gunboats and the forts on shore engaged in a gun battle, with occasional contributions from the Mosquito Fleet. Late in the day, Burnside's soldiers went ashore unopposed; they were accompanied by six howitzers manned by sailors. As it was too late to fight, the invaders went into camp for the night.
On the second day, February 8, the Union soldiers advanced but were stopped by an artillery battery and accompanying infantry in the center of the island. Although the Confederates thought that their line was safely anchored in impenetrable swamps, they were flanked on both sides and their soldiers were driven back to refuge in the forts. The forts were taken in reverse. With no way for his men to escape, Col. Shaw surrendered to avoid pointless bloodshed.
The Union forces occupied the island for the remainder of the war, and classified the slaves living there as contraband. More came to the island from the mainland. The Army developed a contraband camp into the Freedmen's Colony of Roanoke Island, an important experiment set up to become self-sustaining. By 1864, more than 2200 freedmen lived there, even though 150 had joined the United States Colored Troops from North Carolina. The American Missionary Association recruited teachers from the North to help educate the freedmen in reading and writing, which both children and adults were eager to learn.[40]

Pearce remained in Missouri and their courtship continued by mail until they were married in Hereford, Texas. The couple returned to Missouri and built a home in Pleasant Hill. They lived there until failing health forced them to give up housekeeping in 1964. Minnie died on February 7, 1968. Ernest died on June 14, 1965. They are buried in the family plot in Pleasant Hill Cemetery. [47]

February 7, 1979: Joseph Mengele, known as the “Angel of Death,” primarklyu for the brutal experiments he performed on live prisoners, escaped to South America where he died in 1979.[49] Dr. Josef Mengele, the infamous Nazi doctor who performed medical experiments at the Auschwitz death camps, dies of a stroke while swimming in Brazil—although his death was not verified until 1985.
Mengele was born on March 16, 1911, in Gunzburg, Germany. His father founded Frima Karl Mengele & Sohne, a factory that produced farm machinery, in Bavaria. In college, Mengele first studied philosophy, imbibing the rascist theories of Alfred Rosenberg—who posited the innate intellectual and moral superiority of Aryans—and then took a medical degree at the University of Frankfurt am Main. Soon thereafter he enlisted in the SA, the paramilitary force of the Nazi Party. Mengele was so enthusiastic about Nazism that in 1934 he joined the research staff of the Nazi Institute for Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene.
When war erupted, Mengele was a medical officer with the SS, the elite squad of Hitler's bodyguards who later emerged as a secret police force that waged campaigns of terror in the name of Nazism. In 1943, Mengele was called to a position that would earn him his well-deserved infamy. SS head Heinrich Himmler appointed Mengele the chief doctor of the Auschwitz death camps in Poland.
Mengele, in distinctive white gloves, supervised the selection of Auschwitz' incoming prisoners for either torturous labor or immediate extermination, shouting either "Right!" or "Left!" to direct them to their fate. Eager to advance his medical career by publishing "groundbreaking" work, he then began experimenting on live Jewish prisoners. In the guise of medical "treatment," Mengele injected, or ordered others to inject, thousands of inmates with everything from petrol to chloroform to study the chemicals' effects. Among other atrocities, he plucked out the eyes of Gypsy corpses to study eye pigmentation, and conducted numerous gruesome studies of twins.
Mengele managed to escape imprisonment after the war, first by working as a farm stableman in Bavaria, then by moving to South America. He became a citizen of Paraguay in 1959. He later moved to Brazil, where he met up with another former Nazi party member, Wolfgang Gerhard. In 1985, a multinational team of forensic experts traveled to Brazil in search of Mengele. They determined that a man named Gerhard had died of a stroke while swimming in 1979. Dental records later revealed that Mengele had, at some point, assumed Gerhard's identity and was the stroke victim.
A fictional account of Josef Mengele's life after the war was depicted in the film Boys from Brazil, with Mengele portrayed by Gregory Peck.[50]
