On February 23, 1511 the young prince died suddenly, living only 52 days. The cause of his death was not recorded.

February 23, 1770:
Trouble began February 23, 1770, when a schoolboy named Christopher Snider was shot and killed by an “abandoned wretch” of a Tory during a melee. The boy’s funeral, organized by Samuel Adams, drew thousands of angry citizens.

No FTDNA matches were found in Scotland but my 5th great grandfather was, and this is his story.

Tragedy of Love Led to Ohioville's Founding

The Isle of Skye, off the coast of Scotland produces men who place duty before personal inclinations.

Such a man was Lord Michael (John?) McKinnon, native of the island. He trained his children to adhere to their ideas and sacrifice everything to duty. Early in 1770 two of his sons, Daniel (5th great grandfather) and Joseph, (5th great granduncle) came to America. Daniel, a high Episcopal preacher to George IV of England, was sent by the crown to the church at Philadelphia.

He was a man of decided opinions and did not fit in well with the growing tendency in the colonies to question the crown's authority. He was a staunch royalist and preached his convictions from the pulpit. His belief, however, did not prevent his marriage to Miss Polly Dawson, a lovely colonial girl, who was a member of an ardent Whig family.

For several years Polly (wife of the 5th great grandfather) was very happy with her ecclesiastical husband. A daughter, whom they named Katie, was born.

The young wife, however, did experience troublesome moments when her family reproached her for her husband’s denunciation of the American cause.

One night Polly retired early. Later she was awakened by angry shouting in the lower hall. She went to the top of wide, shallow stairway and looked down into the hall. Below were a number of men. In the front line, pressing close to her husband, who was standing on the second step, were her father and brother, Daniel. The minister, partially dressed, his thin intelligent face pale in the light of the candleabrum, was speaking quietly.

"I will not take the oath of Allegiance against my king. I am the servant of the church and his majesty is its head. I will not denounce him for a group of people who are rebelling against a just and kind ruler."

Wrathful shouts filled the hall. The colonist surged forward but Reverend McKinnon did not move. Polly's brother looked up and saw his sister standing in the shadows.

"If ye will not take the oath, then ye must go back to England and my sister and her child will stay in America," he shouted.

The minister turned quickly and held out his hand to his wife, who came swiftly down the steps.

"Daniel," she said, "Please take these men and go away. My husband and I will settle this question."

Finally the crowd dispersed and Polly turned back up the stairs, accompanied by her husband. But neither slept that night. Polly pleaded and begged that he take the oath of allegiance, but her husband remained adamant. Finally the girl decided words were useless. She was sad at the thought of leaving her family, but there was no question in her loyal heart but that she must go with her husband. Her family decided otherwise. They forced her to change her mind and she left her husband with these last words ringing in her ears; "If you go with them Polly we will never see each other again."

Filial obligations ruled, however fro Polly and one bleak winter morning Danial McKinnon sailed for England, alone.

Daniel Dawson sold 'all his' possession and together with all his family, Polly and her baby, started west. They crossed the Allegheny mountains of pack mules. Snow and bitter cold combined with the danger of Indian attacks to harass the little party until it reached Fort Pitt. He would either come or send for her. At times Daniel Dawson was conscience-stricken as he watched his sister, but he was certain the family decision was right.

The party remained at Fort Pitt until spring. In the meantime, Dawson had been hunting for a suitable place to farm. At last he found it, high on the hills overlooking the Ohio River, between Little and Big Beaver creeks. Early in April he brought his family and sister to their new home. They were the first settlers in what is now Ohioville.

The young wife waited anxiously for those long expected "mail days". But no mail arrived from England. Daniel McKinnon was keeping his promise. One day years later Joseph McKinnon, the younger brother who had chose to remain in America, came to visit his sister-inlaw. He told Polly her husband had been made a bishop in the church and was a favorite of the king. He would never return to America.

From then, until her death, Polly heard no more of her husband. She was buried in the Ohioville cemetery.

In 1776, Daniel McKinnon was lost at sea returning to England. No traces of passengers or crew were ever found. JG

George Washington (grandnephew of the wife of the 1st cousin 10x removed) to Gilbert Simpson, February 23, 1773, Account Book 2
Mount Vernon, February 23, 1773.
Mr. Simpson: As the Negro Fellow I bought In Alexandria will by no means consent to leave this Neighbourhood and as you did not seem Inclind to take him without I have sent a young Fellow which I bought last Spring in his room. In coming from Boston here he got Frost Bit and lost part of his Toes which prevents his Walk’g with as much activity as he otherwise would but as they are quite well, and he a good temper’d quiet Fellow I dare say he will answer the purpose very well. I also send you a fine, healthy, likely young Girl which in a year or two more will be fit for any business, her principal employment hitherto has been House Work but is able, or soon will be to do any thing else.
These Negros along with the one you carry out had better be valued by the same Appraisers; for the Cost of them is nothing to the purpose as I bought them with my own Money and for ready Cash noways Connected till apprais’d with our joint Interest I have wrote to Mr. Craven Peyton to act in my behalf, you and he therefore may agree on proper Persons to appraise these Negros but your Waggon Horses, and other things which have not a regular and fix’d value of themselves.
Inclose you have a List of such Articles as are furnish’d from my own Store and Smiths Shop; the prices affixd are as low as I could buy at in any of the Stores for ready Cash. Lund Washington who is now going up to Alexandria will Inclose you an Acct. of what things he will get there with the prices of each respective Article all of which I hope will not only get safe to your hands but safe to the Land of Promise; for which the Sooner you Imbark After the Weather will permit the Better as you will have more of the Spring before you to prepare for the Summers Crop.
I have wrote to Captn. Crawford (6th great grandfather) to assist you with any thing you may want and I will see him paid. Vale. Crawford (6th great granduncle) I am perswaded will also aid you in any matters in his power and I would advise you to lay in your Provision of Corn &ca. upon your first getting out as it is more than probable the prices of them will Increase as the Spring advances.
Let me have a List of all the Articles you furnish with the sev’l Prices annexd that I may be acquainted with our respective Advances and be enabled thereby to State the Accounts. I do not recollect any thing more at present to add except in general to advise you to look beyond a year or two and not suffer any present or immediate convenience in clearing Land or doing other things to break in upon any regular or settled Plan which may be beneficial hereafter; for this reason it is I would recommend it to you to examine the Land well and begin to Build and clear in that part of it which is most likely to answer the general end and design of your going there; so in like manner concerning your Houses letting those you do Build be good of their kind and in the end you will find them the cheapest. I heartily wish you your health, ad Succes and am Yr. Friend, etc

February 23, 1778:
A stranger arrives at Valley Forge. He is sent by Benjamin Franklin. The Stranger is an unlikely volunteer. His name is Baron Friedrich Wilhelm Augustus Von Steuben, a General in the mighty Prussian army. He was neither a Baron, nor a General. George Washington did not care. Friedrich Wilhelm Rudolf Gerhard August, Freiherr von Steuben, a Prussian military officer, arrives at General George Washington's encampment at Valley Forge on this day in 1778 and commences training soldiers in close-order drill, instilling new confidence and discipline in the demoralized Continental Army.
Baron von Steuben, as he is better known, was the son of a military engineer and became a Prussian officer himself at the age of 17. He served with distinction and was quickly promoted from infantry to Frederick the Great's General Staff. In 1763, at age 33 and with the rank of captain, he was discharged for unknown reasons.(It was said it was because of his homosexuality.) His title of freiherr, or baron, came with his subsequent post as chamberlain (or palace manager) to the petty court of Hohenzollern-Hechingen in Swabia, or the southwestern Holy Roman Empire, in what is now Baden-Wuerrtemberg. Employed by an indebted prince, von Steuben searched for more lucrative employment in foreign armies. The French minister of war recommended von Steuben to Benjamin Franklin as a resource to the Continental Army in 1777. Franklin in turn passed on word of Steuben's availability to George Washington, and by February 23, 1778, he was among the desperate Continentals camped at Valley Forge.
Von Steuben, who did not speak English, drafted a drill manual in French, which Alexander Hamilton and Nathanael Greene then translated into English. The Prussian drill techniques he shared were far more advanced than those of other European armies, let alone those of the ragtag Patriots. The ego-crushing methods of modern boot camp were practiced among the shoeless soldiers of Valley Forge with remarkable efficacy. Most important for 18th-century battle was an efficient method of firing and reloading weapons, which von Steuben forced the Patriots to practice until it became second nature.
Before von Steuben's arrival, colonial American soldiers were notorious for their slovenly camp conditions. Von Steuben insisted on reorganization to establish basic hygiene. He demanded that kitchens and latrines be put on opposite sides of the camp, with latrines facing a downhill slope. (Just having latrines was novelty to the Continental troops who were accustomed to living among their own filth.)
On the merit of his efforts at Valley Forge, Washington recommended that von Steuben be named inspector general of the Continental Army; Congress complied. In this capacity, von Steuben propagated his methods throughout the Patriot forces by circulating his Blue Book, entitled Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States.
February 23, 1778: The delegates of Pensylvania laid before Congress a letter signed Thomas Wharton Junr., president, dated in Council, Lancaster, February 23, 1778, requesting to be furnished with the following papers, viz.
"The instructions of the Board of War to their superintendents of provisions; the plan laid down by the superintendents for the purchase, &c. of provisions; the instructions for the millers, dated the January 11 last; a letter from the superintendents to the Board of War, dated February 11 instant; a letter dated February 12, instant signed Robert Lettis Hooper, deputy quarter master general, to the purchasers under the superintendents:"
Ordered, That the Board of War furnish the delegates of Pensylvania with copies of the above papers, or such of them as are in the office of the Board of War and Ordnance.
A letter, of the January 24, from S. A. Otis, at Boston, was read.
The committee to whom were referred the letter of the 8 instant, from General Washington, and sundry other letters which passed between him and General Howe, relative to the exchange of prisoners and other matters, brought in a report, which was read.
The committee to whom were referred the letters and papers from the committee of Congress at camp, brought in a report, which was taken into consideration, and, after some time spent thereon, the farther consideration thereof was postponed to the afternoon.
The Committee on the Treasury brought in a report; Whereupon, Ordered, That a warrant issue on the treasurer in favour of Captain Pesky, for twenty-six thousand dollars, in discharge of William Palfrey, Esqr., pay master general, his order, for that sum, on the president of Congress, dated camp, the February 23 instant in favour of Colonel E. H. Lutterlogh, deputy quarter master general, and endorsed by him to the said Pesky: the pay master general to be accountable:
The commissioners of accounts at the treasury report,
That there is due to the administrators of Samuel Allen, deceased, for hire of his waggon and team from the September 4, to the December 4, 1776, is 92 days, at 22/3 dollars, 245 30/90 dollars; and for the four horses, waggon, geers and cloth, which by certificates, appear to have been detained in the service after his decease, and never returned to his heirs, &c. appraised at 408 dollars, which last sum is to be charged to the account of the quarter master general; also for expences incurred on York Island, as by account and certificate, 7 62/90 dollars, amounting in the whole to 661 2/90 dollars:
That there is due to John Campbell, the sum of 1,243 30/90 dollars, for Colonel George Morgan's order on the President of Congress, in favour of Colonel William Crawford, being for provisions stored at Fort Pitt, which order is assigned over to said Campbell; the said Colonel George Morgan to be accountable:
That there is due to Simon and Campbell, the sum of 302 dollars, for arms sold to Colonel William, Crawford, for the use of the 13 Virginia regiment, as per Colonel Crawford's order on the Treasury Board: the said Colonel Crawford to be accountable:
Ordered, That the said accounts be paid.

<< I am looking for information you might have regarding Susanna Woods and William Goodlove, who appeared to have married in 1796. >>

Jeff,

I am afraid that I won't be much help. I was surprised to discover that I even had this couple in my data and then had to figure out why. It turned out it was because Archabald Woods married Elizabeth Shackleford, Shackleford being one of my
surnames. Anyway, below is a tree for the Woods family. The information came from Kentucky Family Archives, Vol. V, (Kentucky Genealogical Society, 1974), p. 303, Family group sheet contributed by Sue Nite Raguzin, 5008 Briarbrook,

Sorry that I can't be of more help.

February 23, 1807: The British Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of abolition of the slave trade. This victory was due in large measure to the decades’ long efforts of William Wilberforce. This is the same William Wilberforce who helped found Christ Church Ministries Jerusalem (CMJ) in England in 1809. Wilberforce and other leading evangelicals such as Lord Shaftesbury believed that the Jewish people had to be restored to their ancient land in order to pave the way for the return of Jesus. From the 1840s on the Society built in Jerusalem a School of Industry for training Jewish believers in basic trades; an Enquirers House, a Hebrew College, and a modern hospital for Jewish people as well as Christ Church.

On February 23, 1836, a large Mexican force commanded by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana arrived suddenly in San Antonio. Travis and his troops took shelter in the Alamo, where they were soon joined by a volunteer force led by Colonel James Bowie. Though Santa Ana's 5,000 troops heavily outnumbered the several hundred Texans, Travis and his men determined not to give up.

Ground Zero at the Alamo (where photography is strictly prohibited). Gary Goodlove stands in front of the original cannon ancestor William B. Harrison (commander), David Crockett and the rest of the Tennessee Volunteers used to defend the palisades at the Alamo. The model of the battle inside the Alamo indicates four cannons were used. Geoffry, the Alamo guide who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, informed us that actually only one cannon was used to defend the entire wall. Also because the Tennesee Volunteers had the wall so well defended, Santa Anna did not penetrate the palisades directly but instead breached the wall on the other opposite side to their backs. Mrs. Dickson said that David Crockett and 5-6 others fell to the left of the wall while the fate of the rest of the Tennesee Volunteers is unknown.

This rare photograph was found by Mr. Waters mother when a home was having a estate sale and was about to be thrown out. Mr. Waters is a “Yankee” Civil War reenactor portraying the Union occupation of the Alamo during the civil war. He was carrying this original photograph he had since his he was boy when he used to bring it to school. He kindly allowed me to photograph it.

Robert Campbell came to Texas in January of 1836. He was sworn into the Tennessee Mounted Volunteers in Nacogdoches, TX on January 14, 1836. He was a lieutenant under the command of Captain William B. Harrison. They entered the Alamo on February 23, 1836, and were all killed in battle on March 6, 1836. I am trying to determine which Campbell family from Tennessee produced this Alamo defender.

February 23, 1836: Harrison, William B. 25. Captain. He formed a company, known as the Tennessee Mounted Volunteers, in Nacogdoches, Texas on January 14, 1836. The company reached the Alamo on February 23.
List of Alamo defenders

People who are believed to have participated in the Battle of the Alamo, February 23 – March 6, 1836, on the Texan side, are listed here. The first report of the names of the Texian victims of the battle came in the March 24, 1836 issue of the Telegraph and Texas Register. The 115 names on that list were supplied by couriers John Smith and Gerald Navan.[1]
February 23, 1839: The forced relocation of American Indians began with the Indian Removal Act of 1830. In 1838 the Cherokee Indians became the fifth major tribe to experience forced relocation to Indian Territory, present-day Oklahoma. Along the trail nearly 4,000 Cherokee died of starvation, exposure, or disease. The forced removal of the Indians remains a black mark on American history, and reminds those who desire freedom, that all people deserve a life of liberty regardless of race, religion, or ethnicity.

February 23, 1861: Enroute to his inaugural, President-elect Lincoln evaded possible assassins in Baltimore, who were revealed by Lincoln's head of security, Allan Pinkerton, and on February 23, 1861, arrived in disguise in Washington, D.C.[119] The capitol was placed under substantial military security. Lincoln directed remarks to the South in his inaugural speech, "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies....The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."[120]





February 23, 1861
Abraham Lincoln Inaugurated as the sixteenth President of the United States. Perhaps a McKinnon had a hand in helping Abe along the way.
Our Theopolis McKinnon said in 1880 said, “I claim to be the first man who named “Honest Old Abe” for President.” This claim has some merit, but needs more research. Theopolis, was also from Kentucky, and the following story adds an interesting connection.
Abraham Lincoln, while a teenager borrowed a book from a neighbor, as he did often from anyone in the area who had a book, as there was no library in the area. When not reading it, he laid it away in a part of the cabin where he thought it would be free from harm, but it so happened that just behind the shelf on which he placed it was a great crack between the logs of the wall. One night a storm came up suddenly the rain beat in through the crevice, and soaked the borrowed book through. The book was almost utterly spoiled. Abe felt very uneasy, for a book was valuable in his eyes, as well as in the eyes of its owner.
He took the damaged volume and trudged over to the neighbors in some perplexity and mortification.
“Well, Abe, what brings you over so early? said the neighbor. “I’ve got some bad news for you,” answered Abe, with lengthened face. “Bad news! What is it?”
You know the book you lent me, the “Life of Washington?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Well, the rain last night spoiled it,” and Abe showed the book, wet to a pulp inside, at the same time explaining how it had been injured.
“It’s too bad, I vum! You’d ought to pay for it, Abe. You must have been dreadful careless!”
“I’d pay for if I had any money. ”
“I’ll do whatever you think right.”
So it was arranged that Abe should work three days for Neighbor, “pulling fodder,” the value of his labor being rated at twenty five cents a day. As the book had cost seventy five cents this would be regarded as satisfactory. So Abe worked his three days and discharged his debt.
The neighbor Abe borrowed the book from was from old Josiah Crawford. .
Theopolis’ claim of being the originator of the saying “Honest Abe” for president is interesting because of the McKinnon/Crawford/Washington connection. It is possible that Theopolis did come up with that saying, as William Crawford and George Washington were lifelong friends. It is not surprising that an ancestor would have the book “Life of Washington.” I think I would like to find that book. I have not made the connection from Josiah Crawford to our Crawford at this point, but in time I would not be surprised if I do.
February 23, 1861: President-elect Abraham Lincoln arrives in Washington amid secrecy and tight security. With seven states having already seceded from the Union since Lincoln's election, the threat of civil war hung in the air.
Allen Pinkerton, head of a private detective agency, had uncovered a plot to assassinate Lincoln when he passed through Baltimore on his way to the capital. Lincoln and his advisors disagreed about how to respond to the threat. Some, including Pinkerton, wanted Lincoln to slip secretly into Washington, which would mean skipping an address to the Pennsylvania legislature in Harrisburg. Lincoln did not want to appear cowardly, but he felt the threats were serious.
Lincoln agreed to the covert arrival. With Pinkerton and Ward Hill Lamon, his former law partner, Lincoln slipped out of the hotel in Harrisburg on the evening of February 22. He wore a soft felt hat instead of his customary stovepipe hat, and he draped an overcoat over his shoulders and hunched slightly to disguise his height. The group boarded a sleeper car and arrived in Baltimore in the middle of the night. The trio slipped undetected from the Calvert Street station to Camden station across town. There, they boarded another train and arrived without incident in Washington at 6:00 a.m. On the platform, the party was surprised when a voice boomed, "Abe, you can't play that on me." It was Congressman Elihu B. Washburne, a friend of Lincoln's from Illinois. Washburne escorted Lincoln to the Willard Hotel.
A myth arose that Lincoln had dressed as a woman to avoid detection, but this was not the case. He did draw considerable criticism in the press for his unceremonious arrival. Northern diarist George Templeton Strong commented that if convincing evidence of a plot did not surface, "the surreptitious nocturnal dodging...will be used to damage his moral position and throw ridicule on his Administration." Lincoln later regretted the caper and commented to a friend "I did not then, nor do I now believe I should have been assassinated had I gone through Baltimore..." Regardless of how he had arrived, Lincoln was safely in Washington, ready to assume the difficult task ahead.
February 16-February 23, 1863: arrived in the Pass on the following day. Here they were engaged until the 23d in endeavoring to render it navigable. A vast amount of labor was necessary for the removal of trees which the enemy had fallen across the narrow stream for the purpose of obstructing the passage of vessels. Ropes were fastened
around the bodies of the trees and they were thus drawn out upon the main land. From thence the boats passed into the Cold Water and Tallahachie, the way being thus opened to the Yazoo River. Having effected its purpose, the expedition returned to Helena on the 23d. The fleet had been dreadfully shattered in the Pass. The guards, wheel-houses and smoke-stacks of the steamers had been wholly raked off of most of the fleet by the overhanging branches of the trees. There were none of the fleet that escaped uninjured.

RE: STATEMENT OF MR. A. H. MAGRUDER
My name is A. H. MAGRUDER and I live at 4312 Duplessis Street, Parkchester Apartments. My phone number is 282-7542, answering service 947-2181. I am 47 years old and self-employed as a manufacture representative.
During the Christmas holidays, that date being Christmas of 1963 to New Years [sic] of 1964, I returned from a hunting trip with DR. VICTOR J. WEISS who at the time was Clinical Director of East Louisiana State Hospital in Jackson, Louisiana. We were sitting at my home near St. Francisville, Louisiana, just having a big bull session and he related the story that I am going to tell you. This is in connection with the KENNEDY assassination.
DR. WEISS said that prior to the KENNEDY assassination by several days, that the Louisiana State Police had picked up a woman on Highway 190 near Eunice, Louisiana, and that she had apparently been thrown out of an automobile from her physical appearance. The police thought that she was psychic [sic] so they took her to the East Louisiana State Hospital. DR. WEISS gave her a thorough physical and psychiatric examination and determined that she was a narcotic addict and was having withdrawal symptoms. She told him that she worked as a dope runner for JACK RUBY. I believe she also mentioned that she worked in the night club for RUBY and that she was forced to go to Florida with another man whom she did not name to pick up a shipment of dope to take back to Dallas, that she didn't want to do this thing but she had a young child and that they would hurt her child if she didn't. She and this male companion of hers got into some kind of argument or fight and he beat her up and pushed her out of the car. She also told DR. WEISS that the President and other Texas Public officials were going to be killed on their visit to Dallas. Dr. Weiss said that he didn't really pay much attention to a woman of this type until after the assassination occurred at which time he went back to this woman who was still in the hospital and had further conversation with her. Now this was also after RUBY had killed OSWALD and she did say that she had seen OSWALD sitting at the same table at RUBY's club but didn't elaborate any further. About two nights later the FBI [sic] came to East Louisiana State Hospital and picked this woman up and DR. WEISS had to sign the papers for her release at that time. That's about all. I've given you DR. WEISS' address and phone number.
