DEAR SIR,
Your favour of the 25th Jany I receiv’d last night, & am sorry to tell You that my Voice was long since engaged to Mr. Madison (our Professor of Mathematics) for his Brother: had my good friend Col: Washington made the least mention to me of Capn: Crawford,(6th great grandfather) he might have been assur’d, I would gladly have oblig’d him. The Revd: Mr. Thruston the 1St Instant wrote to me recommending Capn: Wm. Rutherford (who deliver’d the letter) and Capn: Crawford; I told Capn: Rutherford, that I should take great pleasure in serving them both, but was afraid I could not, as I had heard Capn. Bullett’s ill conduct had occasion’d an order of Council not to appoint any more Extra-Surveyors how true this report may be, I cannot with certainty affirm.
The best method that I can point out for Capn: Crawford is to get a Deputation from the Surveyor of the County in whose Precinct the Part he desires is contain’d; if he can do that, I hope he will succeed, especially if he is expeditious in his Application. Our City has long expected the Arrival of Lady Dunmore: Bon-fires, Illuminations &c. have been order’d these ten Days, but none yet lighted. My best respects attend Mrs. Washington, who I should be very glad in having the pleasure once more to see,
Jam Dr Sir, Yr most obedt: I’thle Servt. EMMANUEL JONES.
February 18, 1776: From Norfolk, Virginia, Royal Governor John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, dispatches a note to William Legge, 2nd Earl of Dartmouth, expressing his "inexpressible mortification" that British Major General Sir Henry Clinton had been ordered to the "insignificant province of North Carolina to the neglect of this the richest and powerfully important province in America." Dunmore was facing expulsion from Virginia at the hands of the Patriots and was deeply insulted that the army chose to defend its claims to the less significant colony of North Carolina instead of the economically and politically vital colony of Virginia.
Having departed New York on February 12, General Clinton met with Governor Dunmore in Hampton Roads, Virginia, on February 17 while en route to Cape Fear, North Carolina; he was forced to remain in Hampton Roads until February 27 due to stormy weather. Clinton finally reached North Carolina on March 12, by which time the North Carolina Loyalists had been routed at Moore's Creek Bridge on February 27. The royal governors of North and South Carolina met Clinton to give him the bad news, but Commodore Peter Parker and Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis had not yet arrived from Cork, Ireland, to support Clinton in his efforts to suppress the American rebellion. After waiting until May 31, 1776, for the last of the contingency to arrive from Cork, Clinton contemplated moving the British forces to the Chesapeake Bay, since North Carolina had already fallen to the Patriots, but Parker convinced him to head instead for Charleston, South Carolina.
Abandoned again, Dunmore returned to England after the publication of the Declaration of Independence in July 1776. The county named in his honor in 1772 was renamed Shenandoah County in 1778. His hunting lodge, Porto Bello, where he first fled the Patriot uprising, remains on the National Register of Historic Places for York County, Virginia.
February 18th 1781: In a letter dated Wissenstein, November 16, 1780, from His Serene Highness, to Lieutenant Colonel Graf, which was received today, Captains Hessenmueller….promoted to major. (Possible connection to Gottlob in baptism) JG

Three-quarters of a mile from Yorktown, on Temple Farm, is the’ old Moore house, where the papers for the surrender of Cornwallis were drawn up and signed. Part of this house is very old indeed, and was the residence of Colonel George Ludlow, one of the regicide judges. Furthermore, the house stands on the site of one built more than a century before the Revolution, the home of Captain Nicholas Martiait, ancestor of Washington and Nelson, prominent in the first “rebellion against tyranny” in Virginia, when, in 1634, the colonists deposed from office the unpopular Governor, Sir John Harvey, and shipped him out of the country. Captain Martiau died in 1657. Here lived Lucy Smith, granddaughter of Lawrence Smith. . . . Lucy married Augustine Moore, said to have been a grandson of Governor Spottswood. Temple Farm was chosen, by the Royal Governor of Virginia, as a residence, probably on account of the beauty of its situation.
Lucy Smith is the compilers 1st cousin, 9 times removed.
On Temple Farm, Yorktown, Virginia, Home of the Royal Governor Spottswood. In this house the articles of agreement between the Americans and the English were drawn in 1781.

Here is a little history from Berks County, PA. On the east side
of Reading I came across a historical marker. It is just west of
Schwartzwald Hill, where Schwartzwald UCC and Lutheran Churches are.
The marker reads
HESSIAN CAMP
After Burgoyne’s surrender, 1777, German mercenaries, mostly Hessian, were held prisoners at various places until the end of the war. Those brought to Reading, 1781, were encamped until 1783 in huts on the hillside a quarter—mile to the north.

The closest road that winds up the hill is Hessian Road (what else).
About 1/4 mile up the road it splits. Most of the houses on a

At the time of the American Revolution, the Landgrave was living with his second wife. He was about sixty years old, and seems to have become comparatively steady in his habits. He was a good man of business. His troops, drilled on the Prussian system, and recruited in a measure among his own subjects by conscription, were good soldiers. His army in 1781 numbered twenty-two thousand, while the population of his territories was little above three hundred thousand souls; but many foreigners were enticed into the service, and a few of the regiments were not kept permanently under the banners, but spent the larger part of the year disbanded, and met only for a few weeks of drill ("Briefe eines Reisenden.") Frederick took a personal interest in his army, and corresponded with his officers in America, making the hand and eye of the master usefully felt. He took pains with the internal affairs of his country, leaving, indeed, a full treasury at his death. He founded schools and museums, and, like all his family, loved costly buildings. When he sent twelve thousand men to America he diminished the taxes of his remaining subjects, and though these were sad and down-trodden, though they mourned their sons and brothers sent to fight in a strange quarrel beyond the sea, we may linger for a moment regretfully over Frederick of Hesse-Cassel, for he dealt in good wares, he showed some personal dignity, and he was one of the least disreputable of the princes who sent mercenaries to America.

February 1807: Before he met Mrs. Jordan, Prince William (William IV) had an illegitimate son whose mother is unknown; the son, William Henry Courtenay, drowned off Madagascar in HMS Blenheim in February 1807.[43] Caroline von Linsingen, whose father was a general in the Hanoverian infantry, claimed to have had a son, Heinrich, by William in around 1790 but William was not in Hanover at the time that she claims and the story is considered implausible.[44]

(According to a History of Hampshire County, West Virginia.)
During the Revolutionary War, this book reveals that a large number of Hessian soldiers, which had been imported from Germany, were held as prisoners at Winchester in Hampshire County, West Virginia. Please remember that William Harrison’s (Goodlove)(2nd great grandfather) obituary (Ref 1.2) reported that Conrad (3rd great grandfather) was born in West Virginia. Therefore, the search goes on!
Prison camps for the Germans:So with wisdom almost divine the prison camps for the Germans were established in German settlements, the chief camps being at Germantown, near Philadelphia, and at Winchester, Va. Young Spaid was sent to the latter camp.
According to the records, imprisonment in these camps was only nominal, at least after the first few months. Whether the community was held responsible for so many prisoners and was permitted to enforce prison rules to suit themselves, we cannot tell at this date. The German settlers living at both Winchester and Germantown were, for the most part, from the Palatine, a state adjoining Hesse, from whence these soldiers came, and are invariably considered to have been high class colonists, having fled from Germany during the religious wars. The best understanding between the Palatinate settlers and the Hessian soldiers would exist as a matter of course. They used the same language and most of them were of the same religion--Lutheran. Seeing their countrymen enjoying such liberty and comfort on the frontier of America, with a climate so salubrious as the Shenandoah Valley, with the forests full of game and the streams full of fish, and where land might be had for the asking, the great wonder is that any of the Hessian soldiers elected to be exchanged and returned to the home land, unless they had left families there.

June 1777
Franz Gottlob born 1754/55 of Werneck, (Germany) enlists as a private in the von Linsingen Grenadier 4th Battalion.
June 1777 member the 4th Company of von Linsing’s Battalion, commanded by Captain von Mallet.
February 18, 1812: Susan Simmons Winans was born February 18, 1812; her father was killed, and her mother and she were taken prisoners by the Indians, and held six monthes or more; a little brother 3 years old was also killed; in the following Spring, mother, with Susan, made her way to friends in Miami Co., Ohio. Mrs. Simmons afterward married John Redenbaugh, who died in Ohio, August 1847, she came here and died February 27, 1857, aged about 72 years.
Susans Simmons Winans was born February 18, 1812. When she was six months old, and with her parents at Ft. Dearborn at the massacre there; August 15, 1812. Her father was killed, and her mother and she were taken prisoners by the Indians, and held six months or more; a little brother 3 years old was also killed. In the following Spring, mother, with Susan made her way to friends in Miami Co., Ohio. Susan was the mother of Ester Winans, William Harrison Goodlove’s first wife.
The massacre followed the evacuation of the fort as ordered by the U.S. General William Hull. This event is also sometimes known as the Battle of Fort Dearborn. Fort Dearborn’s commander Captain Nathan Heald ordered all whiskey and gunpowder to be destroyed so it would no be seized by the local Indian tribes allied with the British, although he had agree to these terms a few hours earlier. He then prepared to abandon his post. Heald remained at Fort Dearborn until support arrived from Fort Wayne, Indiana, led by his wife’s uncle, Captain Wells. A column of 148 soldiers, women children then left Fort Dearborn intending to march to Fort Wayne. However, about one and a half miles (2 km) south of Fort Dearborn, at about what is now 18th Street and Prairie Avenue, a band of Potawatomi warriors ambushed the garrison, killing more than fifty and capturing the remainder as prisoners to sell to the British as slaves. The British purchased the captives and released them immediately afterwards.
Fort Dearborn was burned to the ground, and the region remained empty of U.S. citizens until after the war had ended.
Survivors' accounts differed on the role of the Miami warriors. Some said they fought for the Americans, while others said they did not fight at all. Regardless, William Henry Harrison claimed the Miami fought against the Americans, and used the Fort Dearborn massacre as a pretext to attack the Miami villages. Miami chief Pacanne and his nephew, Jean Baptiste Richardville, accordingly ended their neutrality in the War of 1812 and allied with the British.

February 18, 1813: General Winchester did not fare so well in the North. He was defeated by British and Indians under General Henry Proctor at the river Raisin near present day Monroe, Michigan. After this defeat, Proctor permitted the Indians to massacre their captives. William Henry Harrison was then promoted to Major General and appointed Commander-In-Chief of the Army in the Northwest.
His first moved was to establish a stronghold in Northwestern Ohio. The location was the South Bank of the Maumee River near present day Toledo. It was well positioned, strongly built, and of very large size. This was Fort Meigs, named for Ohio Governor Jonathan Meigs. The fort was built in the Winter of 1813 and during the Winter and Spring, troops, supplies and cannon poured in. On February 18, Batteal Harrison (1st cousin 6x removed) arrived with the 19th Infantry.
February 1814: ARCHIBALD "ARCHIE" CRAWFORD: (2nd cousin 6x removed)
Served in the War of 1812 as sergeant under General William Henry Harrison when they defeated the Indians at the Battle of Tippecanoe at Lafayette, IN on November 7, 1811. Archibald was wounded by an arrow in this battle. He continued to serve until he was mustered out of service in February 1814, when he returned to Miller's Creek, Estill Co., KY. He was granted 20,000 acres of land in the Middle Fork River area for his military services.
In the spring of 1815, he moved to Bear Creek to claim his land. His two brothers, Valentine and Gideon helped him construct a two-room cabin. He owned 30 slaves. Some of his land grant is presently owned by his descendants and the descendants of his slaves who took the name of Crawford.
Archibald was an eccentric. He built his own coffin and kept it filled with corn under the bed he slept in. He took a notion to have his own funeral and invited friends and relatives. There was a two-hour eulogy by the Rev. John Spencer. During the whole affair, Archibald sat in a chair at the head of the coffin which he had pulled out from under his bed for the occasion.
February 1817: Legend states that Abraham Lincoln shot a wild turkey but hated the experience and never hunted again.
February 1817 – The
American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions established Brainerd Mission across the river from the town of Chickamauga on land given to them by John McDonald, former British agent to the Cherokee, which once the site of his trading post. Like the Moravian mission at Spring Place, the mission's most important feature was its school.
February 1819:
In February 1819, Representative James Tallmadge of New York introduced a bill that would admit Missouri into the Union as a state where slavery was prohibited. At the time, there were 11 free states and 10 slave states. Southern congressmen feared that the entrance of Missouri as a free state would upset the balance of power between North and South, as the North far outdistanced the South in population, and thus, U.S. representatives. Opponents to the bill also questioned the congressional precedent of prohibiting the expansion of slavery into a territory where slave status was favored.
Even after Alabama was granted statehood in December 1819 with no prohibition on its practice of slavery, Congress remained deadlocked on the issue of Missouri. Finally, a compromise was reached. On March 3, 1820, Congress passed a bill granting Missouri statehood as a slave state under the condition that slavery was to be forever prohibited in the rest of the Louisiana Purchase north of the 36th parallel, which runs approximately along the southern border of Missouri. In addition, Maine, formerly part of Massachusetts, was admitted as a free state, thus preserving the balance between Northern and Southern senators.
The Missouri Compromise, although criticized by many on both sides of the slavery debate, succeeded in keeping the Union together for more than 30 years. In 1854, it was repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which dictated that slave or free status was to be decided by popular vote in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska; though both were north of the 36th parallel.
Jackson toured Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York.

Natchez
Dear General,
I did not receive your letter by Miss Sally McConnell until a few days ago when she sent it to me in New Orleans after keeping it a long while here in Expectation of my arrival. I regret exceedingly to hear that your health has again been seriously assailed but I humbly trust all is yet well with you and that you have constitution enough left after all your sufferings and privations to stand the wear and tear of very many years to come. In my progress thro life I may safely say that after my father I owe you more obligations than to all other men living and you cannot be ignorant, feel great solicitude for any and every thing which regards you. Death and Disease is with us all a common inheritance-but in case the worst fefal you- your friends have still the consolation left them that your fame and renown
I was gratified on reaching this place yesterday to find Mr [Ralph Eleazar Whitesides] Earle in this country. He has done well in exhibiting his full length lideness here as it has gratified the citizens and not been unprofitable to himself. An effort (which will succeed) is making here to raise a thousand Dollars to buy one for this city. When this arrangement is completed which is expected to morrow Mr Earle will go on to New Orleans where I have no doubt he will meet all the patronage he is entitled to receive. I will return as far as Plaquemine on my way home with him and will give him Such letters to my friends in the city as may be of service to him.
I send you with this a pamphlet lately much read and sought after in our State agains the [Thomas Bolling] Robertson Dynasty-which has declared open war against all your friends and adherents who dared to oppose their coming into power -they have quarreled with the French and cannot get on well with only a moiety of the americans to aid them in the extraordinary game they are playing-
My brother-in-law Mr {Alexander] Porter has been forced on the Robertson administration as judge of the Supreme Court in place of {Pierre Auguste Chaarles Bourguignon} Derbigny made secretary of State. He gets leave of absence in the spring for Six months to visit his mother & family i{n Ireland}
Mr {John] Dick resigned in Oct. last and was [replaced] a few days since by J[ohn] W[itherspoon] Smith Esqr. Of N. O[rleans.] I do not regret this as my affairs are in a predicament that made it unadvisable for me to quit Attakapas-I undertake a Country practice with every chance of Success-tho as to worldly concerns I now feel little interest in them sine heaven has been pleased to blast all my fondest earthly expectations-
Please offer my kindest recollections to Mrs Jackson and present me to my old friends Colo. Butler & Capt [Richard Keith] Call. Your friends hope much to see you here in the Spring but by none of them will you be more warmly welcomed than by your faithful servant.
February 1824: Andrew Jackson sat for a painting by John Vanderlyn.
In February 1825 Percy Smythe, 6th Viscount Strangford was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society[3]
February 1833 – President Jackson offers John Ross $3 million dollars and equivalent land in the west for those of the Cherokee Nation East; Ross refuses.
February 1836 – The Treaty of New Echota was overwhelmingly rejected by the Cherokee National Council meeting at Red Clay.
February 1837: - Colonel Juan Nepomuceno Seguín, military commander at San Antonio, presides over the burial of the ashes of the defenders of the Alamo. The battered mission and fortress then stood virtually abandoned, a symbol of the brief but bloody struggle.
San Antonio is incorporated and Bexar County is created.
February 1845: William Whewell refused all requests for a review to avoid dignifying the "bold, speculative and false" work, but was the first to give a response, publishing Indications of a Creator in mid February 1845 as a slim and elegant volume of "theological extracts" from his writings. His aim was to inform superficial London society used to skimming books as conversation pieces and lacking properly prepared minds to deal with real philosophy and real science, and he avoided mentioning Vestiges by name. During the crucial early months of the debate this and Hume's lecture distributed as a pamphlet were the only responses to Vestiges published by the established clergy, and there were just two other short works opposing it: a published lecture by the Anabaptist preacher John Sheppard, and an unorthodox anti-science piece by Samuel Richard Bosanquet.[15]
There was a wide range of readings of the book among the aristocracy interested in science, who assessed it independently without dismissing it out of hand. Sir John Cam Hobhouse wrote his thoughts down in his diary: "In spite of the allusions to the creative will of God the cosmogony is atheistic—at least the introduction of an author of all things seems very like a formality for the sake of saving appearances—it is not a necessary part of the scheme". While disquieted by its information on embryology implying human origins from animals, he thought its tone was good. He concluded that "It does not meddle with revealed religion—but unless I am mistaken the leaders of revealed religion will meddle with it." Lord Morpeth thought it had "much that is able, startling, striking" and progressive development did not conflict with Genesis more than then current geology, but did "not care much for the notion that we are engendered by monkeys" and objected strongly to the idea that the Earth was "a member of a democracy" of similar planets.[16]
February 1847: Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna, through a letter by Scott destined for Zachary Taylor that had been intercepted by the Mexicans, found out that Taylor had only 6,000 men, many of whom were not regular army soldiers, and resolved to defeat him. Santa Anna attacked Taylor with 20,000 men at the Battle of Buena Vista in February 1847, inflicting 672 American casualties at a cost of 1,800 Mexican. As a result, Santa Anna left the field of battle.[4]
Buena Vista turned Taylor into a hero, and he was compared to George Washington and Andrew Jackson in the American popular press. Stories were reportedly told about "his informal dress, the tattered straw hat on his head, and the casual way he always sat atop his beloved horse, "Old Whitey," while shots buzzed around his head".
February 1850: President Zachery Taylor had held a stormy conference with southern leaders who threatened secession. He told them that if necessary to enforce the laws, he personally would lead the Army. Persons "taken in rebellion against the Union, he would hang ... with less reluctance than he had hanged deserters and spies in Mexico." He never wavered. Then events took an unexpected turn.
February 18, 1851: Rebecca Smith (b. 1782 / d. February 18, 1851).
February 18, 1856: The American Party, also known as the "Known-Nothing Party," convenes in Philadelphia to nominate its first presidential candidate.
The Know-Nothing movement began in the 1840s, when an increasing rate of immigration led to the formation of a number of so-called nativist societies to combat "foreign" influences in American society. Roman Catholic immigrants from Ireland and Italy, who were embraced by the Democratic Party in eastern cities, were especially targeted. In the early 1850s, several secret nativist societies were formed, of which the "Order of the Star-Spangled Banner" and the "Order of United Americans" were the most significant. When members of these organizations were questioned by the press about their political platform, they would often reply they knew nothing, hence the popular name for the Know-Nothing movement.
In 1854, the Know-Nothings allied themselves with a faction of Whigs and ran for office in several states, calling for legislation to prevent immigrants from holding public office. By 1855, support for the Know-Nothings had expanded considerably, and the American Party was officially formed. In the same year, however, Southerners in the party sought to adopt a resolution calling for the protection of slavery, and some anti-slavery Know-Nothings defected to the newly formed Republican Party.
On February 18, 1856, the American Party met to nominate it first presidential candidate and to formally abolish the secret character of the organization. Former president Millard Fillmore of New York was chosen, with Andrew Donelson of Tennessee to serve as his running mate. In the subsequent election, Fillmore succeeded in capturing only the state of Maryland, and the Know-Nothing movement effectively ceased to exist.
February 1861: Robert E. Lee returned to his duties in Texas after Harper’s Ferry but storm clouds were brewing and after Texas seceeded from the Union and U.S. Army facilities were turned over to the Confederacy he was recalled by General Scott to Washington in February 1861, there to be promoted to Colonel and offered general's stars along with command of the Union Army. A staunch Unionist and not a defender of slavery, Lee wanted to see the nation preserved but he was unwilling to invade the South to accomplish that end.
When Texas seceded from the Union in February 1861, General David E. Twiggs surrendered all the American forces (about 4,000 men, including Lee, and commander of the Department of Texas) to the Texans. Twiggs immediately resigned from the U. S. Army and was made a Confederate general.
February 1861: William Wesley Smith (b. February 1861 / d. abt. 1943).
February 18, 1861: On this day in 1861, Jefferson Davis, a veteran of the Black Hawk and Mexican-American Wars, begins his term as provisional president of the Confederate States of America. As it turned out, Davis was both the first and last president of the ill-fated Confederacy, as both his term and the Confederacy ended with the Union's 1865 victory in the Civil War.
February 1861, he was sworn in as provisional president of the Confederate States of America. (Davis was referred to as the provisional president because he had been appointed by the Confederate Congress rather than elected by the populace.) He moved his family to the southern White House in Richmond, Virginia, and prepared for a six-year presidential term. Davis' refusal to appoint a general commander of southern forces and his attempt to manage the Southern army and government at the same time is thought to have contributed to the South's defeat.
February 1862: Lincoln’s third and favorite son, Willie, died of typhoid fever. He was just 11 years old.
February 1862: As Lincoln matured, and especially during his term as president, the idea of a divine will somehow interacting with human affairs increasingly influenced his public expressions. On a personal level, the death of his son Willie in February 1862 may have caused Lincoln to look towards religion for answers and solace.[215] After Willie's death, in the summer or early fall of 1862, Lincoln attempted to put on paper his private musings on why, from a divine standpoint, the severity of the war was necessary:
“The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong. God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party—and yet the human instrumentalities, working just as they do, are of the best adaptation to effect his purpose. I am almost ready to say this is probably true—that God wills this contest, and wills that it shall not end yet. By his mere quiet power, on the minds of the now contestants, He could have either saved or destroyed the Union without a human contest. Yet the contest began. And having begun He could give the final victory to either side any day. Yet the contest proceeds.”[216]
February 1862 to February 1864Boteler, Alexander Robinson, a Representative from Virginia; born in Shepherdstown, Jefferson County, Va. (now West Virginia), elected from Virginia to the Confederate Congress, serving from February 1862 to February 1864.
Dr. William McKinnon Goodlove (1st cousin, 3 times removed) and the 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Ordered to Paducah, Ky., February 18, 1862.
February 18, 1863: "...About the 18th of Feby,(February 18) 1863 Col. Bill Penick stationed a Independence whose men were part Missourians and part Kansans sent a scout of about seventy five men sixteen miles south of Independence to the houses of Col. Jim Saunders and Uncle Jeptha Crawford, the scout arriving at the house of Saunders first, divided, one half going to Crawford's. Mrs. Saunders and her daughter prepared dinner for the half staying there, the Col. furnished feed for their horses, all went well until dinner was over, ( mind you that the snow was fourteen inches deep with the mercury 10 degrees below zero when Col. Saunders was placed under guard, the house burned, the women not allowed a bonnet or shawl. On leaving Saunders place, they told the wife they were going to take Col. to Independence and make him take the oath. On the arrival of this party at Crawford's practically the same scenes were enacted, except they snatched a lace cap from the head of Mrs. Crawford and they threw it in the flames of the burning building, they also told Mrs. Crawford that the men would not be hurt. On their way to Independence arriving at the house of James Burris, they dismounted Crawford and Saunders and shot them to death.
It was such dastardly acts as the forgoing that caused the raid on Lawrence..."
February 1864: LUCRETIA "CRESSIE" CRAWFORD, b. May 03, 1778, Albemarle County, Virginia; d. February 1864, Sullivan County, Indiana; m. REESE JONES MORGAN, January 03, 1801, Bourbon county, Kentucky.
February 1864: The first prisoners to die at Rock Island prison 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.
Thurs. February 18, 1864:
Went in camp in a cotton press
Quite cold – wind – little snow
Came on boat Empress – went to theater 2 miles very cold night

Statute of Andrew Jackson and St. Louis Cathedral.
January-February 1865: That winter Gen. Early dispersed the men of the 18th Cav to their home counties and in January-February 1865 the 18th did not act as a unified force. It was called together again when Sheridan moved up the Valley, but was unable to assemble before Early’s defeat at Waynesboro.
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.
In February 1866, Robert E. Lee was called to testify before the Joint Congressional Committee on Reconstruction in Washington, where he expressed support for President Andrew Johnson's plans for quick restoration of the former Confederate states, and argued that restoration should return, as far as possible, the status quo ante in the Southern states' governments (with the exception of slavery).[95]
Robert E. Lee told the Committee, "...every one with whom I associate expresses kind feelings towards the freedmen. They wish to see them get on in the world, and particularly to take up some occupation for a living, and to turn their hands to some work." Lee also expressed his "willingness that blacks should be educated, and ... that it would be better for the blacks and for the whites." Lee forthrightly opposed allowing blacks to vote: "My own opinion is that, at this time, they [black Southerners] cannot vote intelligently, and that giving them the [vote] would lead to a great deal of demagogism, and lead to embarrassments in various ways."[96] Lee also recommended the deportation of African Americans from Virginia and even mentioned that Virginians would give aid in the deportation. "I think it would be better for Virginia if she could get rid of them [African Americans]. ... I think that everyone there would be willing to aid it."[97][98]
February 1868: Thomas Smythe4, John Smythe3, Richard2, William1] (b. May 1869 in Carroll Co. GA / d. February 10, 1957 in Cleburne Co. AL) married Emily A. Borden (b. February 1868 in AL / d. unk) on August 10, 1888 in Borden Springs, AL.
February 1874: Needing both access to the public and additional inccme, Zebulon Baird Vance began a second career which would continue until his health failed more than two decades later. He became a public speaker who addressed non-public issues before groups across the eastern part of the United States. The earliest and most popular of these addresses was "The Scattered Nation" which was first delivered in Baltimore in February 1874. This history of the Jewish people proved to be iitmensely popular and was requested by groups throughout the united States and Canada. Vance proved willing to do considerable secondary research and dealt with scholarly evidence as well as material from the Bible.(85) What was most striking about the speech was Vance's call for an end to attacks on Jews just as anti-Semitism was on the rise in America. One quotation will illustrate the liberality of his position: "Let us learn to judge the Jew as we judge other men• by his merits . And above all, let us cease the abominable injustice of holding the class responsible for the sins of the individual ."(86) Both Jews and gentiles flocked to hear this address, and Vance may have delivered it.as many as two dozen times.
April 1877-February 1878: Between April 1877 and February 1878, she threatened five times to abdicate while pressuring Disraeli to act against Russia during the Russo-Turkish War, but her threats had no impact on the events or their conclusion with the Congress of Berlin.[148] Disraeli's expansionist foreign policy, which Victoria endorsed, led to conflicts such as the Anglo-Zulu War and the Second Anglo-Afghan War. "If we are to maintain our position as a first-rate Power", she wrote, "we must … be Prepared for attacks and wars, somewhere or other, CONTINUALLY."[149] Victoria saw the expansion of the British Empire as civilising and benign, protecting native peoples from more aggressive powers or cruel rulers: "It is not in our custom to annexe countries", she said, "unless we are obliged & forced to do so."[150] To Victoria's dismay, Disraeli lost the 1880 general election, and Gladstone returned as prime minister.[151] When Disraeli died the following year, she was blinded by "fast falling tears",[152] and erected a memorial tablet "placed by his grateful Sovereign and Friend, Victoria R.I."[153]
February 1883: Arrina P. Nix (b. February 1883).
February 1885: The Washington Monument was formally dedicated, and three years later it was opened to the public, who were permitted to climb to the top of the monument by stairs or elevator.
