April 16, 69 A.D. : Otho, Roman Emperor, commits suicide ending his short-lived reign. Otho was the second of the four men to hold the position of Emperor in the Year of the Four Emperors. According to some, it was the instability that Otho and his compatriots brought to the Empire that led to Titus destroying the Temple instead of merely settling for the defeat and humiliation of the Jews of Judea.[1]
Investigators have emphasized the varieties of Judeaism in Palestine during the two centuries leading up to the Roman destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D. All Jews worshiped one God and believed in the divine election of Israel, the divine origin of the Torah, repentance, and forgiveness, but new research has focused on the different emphases associated with the various religious parties of the day, including the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes. [2]
In the summer of 69 A.D. the new emperor Vespasian returned to Jerusalem, rejoining his son Titus, to personally conduct the final stages of the siege.[3]
April 16, 73: According to some calculations this is the day that Masada fell to the Romans after several months of siege, ending this Jewish Revolt against Rome. Of course, this was not the final revolt. [4] Roman General Flavius Silva succeeded in breeching the Judean desert stronghold held by Elazar ben Yair. Of the 960 people who took refuge on Masada, only two women and five children survived. The rest chose suicide rather than slavery. [5]
Titus refuses to accept a wreath of victory, as there is “no merit in vanquishing people forsaken by their own God.” (Philostratus, Vita Apollonii). The events of this period were recorded in detail by the Jewish-Roman historian Josephus. His record is largely sympathetic to the Roman view and was written in Rome under Roman protection; hence it is considered a controversial source. Josephus describes the Jewish revolt as being led by “tyrants,” to the detriment of the city, and of Titus as having “moderation” in his escalation of the Siege of Jerusalem.
After the end of the Jewish revolt, Josephus went to Rome with Titus, and lived there until his death about A.D. 100. Josephus became a close friend of the Emperors Vespasian and Titus, and took their family name, Flavius.[6]
Also after the fall of Jerusalem, the Sanhedrin (Supreme Jewish Council headed by the high priest with religious, civil, and criminal jurisdiction) was reconvened in Yavneh and later in Tiberias. With the second temple (the central focus of Judaism) destroyed, the Sanhedrin needed to interpret how Judaism would be practiced. The priests of the temple needed to interpret hos Judaism would be practiced. The priests of the temple were replaced by community rabbis and in the absence of a central place of worship, the synagogue became the hub of each community. Judaism had to be reinterpreted so that it could survive without the temple in Jerusalem.[7]
75 AD : “History of the Jewish War” is Josephus’s first work and is published in 75 AD while he was but 38 years of age. [8]
Josephus did all his writing at Rome. His works included “The Jewish War” and the “Antiquities of the Jews” (which tells the story of the Jews from creation to the fall of Masada), “Against Apion”, which defended Jews against pagan slanders, and a short autobiography.[9]
Josephus wrote both to justify his own conduct and to commend what was most attractive in Judaism to the Romans. He condemned the Zealots vitriolic ally and praised his patrons Vespasian and Titus in glowing terms. Apart from this, Josephus gives much extremely valuable information about the period from the Maccabeun revolt onwards.[10]
75-85 C.E.: Matthew. Most scholars now think Matthew was written after the destruction of Jerusalem. His gospel depicts Jesus in a Jewish, messianic context, and includes a full account of his life and ministry, from birth to Resurrection, including the parables, the Sermon on the Mount, the miracles and the sayings.[11]

In the King James Version this chapter reads:
1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.[12]

We depend on Josephus for most of our knowledge of the New Testament background. He has short, specific references to Jesus, John the Baptist and James, the brother of Jesus. [14]
75-94 CE: Josephus writes War and Jewish Antiquities. [1}[15] Fabrication of Apion in Alexandria, Egypt, including the first recorded blood libel. Juvanal writes anti-Jewish poetry. Josephus picks apart contemporary and old anti-Semitic myths in his work ‘Against Apion’.[2][16]
“About this time their lived Jesus…
A wise man, if one ought to call him a man.
He was The Messiah”
This is the only reference to Jesus outside the new testament.
By Flavius Josephus[17]
April 1607: The English arrived at Jamestown in April 1607 and, by summer of that year, the settlers were still living in temporary housing.[18] Pocahontas (4th great grandmother of the wife of the brother in law of the 1st great grandnephew of the husband of the 2nd cousin 9x removed) is most famously linked to the English colonist Captain John Smith, who arrived in Virginia with just more than a hundred other settlers in April 1607. After building a fort on a marshy peninsula poking out into the James River, the Englishmen had numerous encounters over the next several months with the Natives of Tsenacommacah, some of them friendly, some hostile.[19]
April 16, 1607: Son of Henry IV and Marie de' Medici:
Nicolas Henri, Duke of Orléans
April 16, 1607
November 17, 1611
[20]
April 1608: A ship brought supplies and 50 new settlers, whom Smith set to construct housing and do farm planting. He spent that summer exploring Chesapeake Bay waterways and produced a map that would be of great value to Virginia explorers for over a century.[11][21]
April 1613: John Rolfe and Pocahontas were married. Pocahontas became a Christian and was given the name “Lady Rebecca.” The marriage was a great advantage for the struggling colonists; Powhatan kept peace with them until death.[22]
April 1614: When the opportunity arose for her to return to her people, she chose to remain with the English. In April 1614, she married tobacco planter John Rolfe.[23][24] John Rolfe and Pocahontas were married. Pocahontas became a Christian and was given the name “Lady Rebecca.” The marriage was a great advantage for the struggling colonists; Powhatan kept peace with them until death.[25]
April 16, 1615: Led by Dr. Chemnitz, the guilds of Worms "non-violently" forced the Jews from the city. Chemnitz was a lawyer and he devised a series of schemes where the Jews were deprived of food and the ability to leave and enter the city. A deputation came to them on what was the seventh day of Pesach and gave them an hour to leave the city. As the Jews left, the thousand year old synagogue and the adjacent burial grounds were attacked and desecrated by the "non-violent" citizens of Worms, Germany.[26]

Sir Anthony Van Dyck: Charles I painted in April 1634. Despite his reputation as a patron of the arts, Charles paid Van Dyck only half the amount he requested
Distrust of Charles's religious policies increased with his support of a controversial anti-Calvinist ecclesiastic, Richard Montagu, who was in disrepute amongst the Puritans.[43] In his pamphlet A New Gag for an Old Goose (1624), a reply to the Catholic pamphlet A New Gag for the new Gospel, Montagu argued against Calvinist predestination, the doctrine that salvation and damnation were preordained by God. Anti-Calvinists—known as Arminians—believed that human beings could influence their own fate through the exercise of free will.[44] With the support of King James, Montagu produced another pamphlet, entitled Appello Caesarem, in 1625 shortly after the old king's death and Charles's accession. To protect Montagu from the stricture of Puritan members of Parliament, Charles made the cleric one of his royal chaplains, increasing many Puritans' suspicions that Charles favoured Arminianism as a clandestine attempt to aid the resurgence of Catholicism.[45]
Charles's primary concern during his early reign was foreign policy. The Thirty Years' War, originally confined to Bohemia, was spiralling into a wider European war. In 1620 Frederick V was defeated at the Battle of White Mountain[46] and by 1622, despite the aid of English volunteers, had lost his hereditary lands in the Electorate of the Palatinate to the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II.[47] Having agreed to help his brother-in-law regain the Palatinate, Charles declared war on Spain, which under the Catholic King Philip IV had sent forces to help occupy the Palatinate.[48]
Parliament preferred an inexpensive naval attack on Spanish colonies in the New World, hoping that the capture of the Spanish treasure fleets could finance the war. Charles, however, preferred more aggressive (and more expensive) action on the Continent.[49] Parliament voted to grant a subsidy of only £140,000, an insufficient sum for Charles's war plans.[50] Moreover, the House of Commons limited its authorisation for royal collection of tonnage and poundage (two varieties of customs duties) to a period of one year, although previous sovereigns since Henry VI of England had been granted the right for life.[51] In this manner, Parliament could keep a check on expenditures by forcing Charles to seek the renewal of the grant each year. Charles's allies in the House of Lords, led by the Duke of Buckingham, refused to pass the bill. Although no Parliamentary Act for the levy of tonnage and poundage was obtained, Charles continued to collect the duties.[52]
A poorly conceived and executed naval expedition against Spain under the leadership of Buckingham went badly, and the House of Commons began proceedings for the impeachment of the duke.[53][27]
April 16, 1646: Christopher Smythe (b. March 18, 1591 / d. April 16, 1648)[28]
April 16, 1638: Christopher Smith6 [Thomas Smythe5, Thomas Smythe4, John Smythe3, Richard2, William1] (b. March 18, 1591 in Burnley, Abington Co., Lancashire, England / d. April 16, 1638 in Mittford Parish, England) married Elizabeth Townley (b. abt. 1600 in Lancashire, England / d. abt. 1679 in Mittford Parish, England), the daughter of Lawrence Townley (b. 1575) and Margaret, on May 3, 1624 in Burnley, Lancashire, England. [29]
April 1646: There followed a great number of defeats for the Royalists, and then the Siege of Oxford, from which Charles escaped in April 1646.[164] He put himself into the hands of the Scottish Presbyterian army at Newark, and was taken northwards to Newcastle upon Tyne[165] while his "hosts" decided what to do with him.[30]
April 16, 1746: Culloden, Battle of. When the reader views passages concerning Hugh Mercer, James Wolfe, the Duke of Cumberland, and others, "Culloden" is often mentioned. This battle took place in the north of Scotland (near Inverness) April 16, 1746. 5,000 Highlanders under Prince Charles Edward Stuart("Bonnie Prince Charlie") fought 9,000 British troops under the Duke of Cumberland. The battle was a disaster for the Prince and his Highlanders with 1,000 killed and another 1,000 taken prisoner. The Duke lost 50 killed and perhaps 200 wounded. The Highlanders were largely Gaelic-speaking Scots and were without the support of the largely English-speaking Lowlander Scots. Prince Charles Edward (1720-1788) was the last of the Stuarts to attempt a return to the English throne. He was the grandson of King James II of England; born in Rome, lived in France, Catholic, Prince of Wales, supported by France—but abandoned when he really needed them. Highlander clans (Macdonalds, Gordons, Mackintoshes, Campbells, Monroes, Macleods, etc.) split-up on religious bases, i.e., Catholic or Episcopalian or Presbyterian, etc. Whatever debacle the Battle of Culloden was for the losers, the twenty-five year old Duke of Cumberland came out the clear winner. Supporters of James II and his descendants are referred to as "Jacobites." (The latinized version of "James" is "Jacobus" or "Jacobaeus," thus "Jacobites.")[31]
April 16, 1746: An army commanded by William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, loyal to the British government defeated Jacobite forces of Charles Edward Stuart at the Battle of Culloden. George Frideric composed “Judas Maccabaeus” a three act oratorio “as a compliment to the victorious Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland.” The oratorio was based on the characters known to all who have celebrated the holiday of Chanukah.[32]
1746
Many Scot Highlanders left Scotland for America after the battle at Culloden and the the defeat of Bonny Prince Charlie in 1746.[33] Defeat of Jacobites. McKinons in disfavor[34]
1747
A Donald McKinnon, age 40, deported from Scotland to West Indies, born to Daniel and Ruth McKinnon in Queen Anne Parish, MD.[35]
1747
His (Valentine Crawford) second marriage was to Sarah Morgan Vance about 1747.
Valentine Crawford settled on Jacob’s Creek, which is the present boundary between Westmoreland and Fayette Counties. Not much is known about Valentine’s wife, Sarah, who is believed to be Sarah Morgan. His daughter, Elizabeth, married John Minter. His son, William, perished on the Ohio Sandusky Expedition with Col. William Crawford. He held the rating of a lieutenant in the ill fated 13th Regiment. Effie Worthington Breckenridge, is also known to be a daughter of Valentine. Valentine Crawford, Jr. seems to have disappeared from most records, at an early date.
Since Valentine was a business manager of George Washington’s lands, it may be noted that he was an overseer of the 2,000 acres, William Crawford located for Washington, at or near Perryopolis, in what is now Fayette County, in Perry Township. This kept Valentine on the move most of the time. In several passages, we find him traveling to and from Mount Vernon (Washington’s home in Virginia), and Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. No doubt he spent time at Washinton’s land office, located in Winchester, Virginia; the former neighborhood of the Crawford family.
A grist mill was constructed at Perryopolis, on Washington’s property (Fayette County), which turned out to be a failure, being situated on a dry run. Washington was able to get rid of it at a giveaway price. This was also due to the constant fear of Indian uprisings, resulting in the scarcity of labor to keep it on a paying basis. Valentine Crawford had a great deal gto do with this, following the instructions of Washington to the very letter, with unspeakable anxieties.[36]
In 1747 William Crawford marries Hannah Vance, d/o John Vance.[37]
April 16, 1754. — Ensign Ward, with thirty-three men, surprised here by the French, and surrenders/[38] In 1753, Dinwiddie sent George Washington to visit the French forces up the Allegheny to learn what the building of these forts meant. On his return and report made, a body of Virginia militia, under command of William Trent with whom was Ensign Edward Ward, were sent early in 1754 to erect a Virginia fort at or near the junction of the Monongahela with the Allegheny. The fort having been commenced, Captain Trent returned to Will's Creek, now Cumberland, leaving Ensign Ward to complete the fort; but on April 17, 1754, a large body of French and Indians came down the Allegheny in boats and compelled the surrender of the fort, but permitted Ward and his small body of men to return across the mountains.[39]
April 16, 1711: Katherine Clare Smythe (b. August 1683 / d. April 16, 1711).[40]
April 16, 1767: At first glance I viewed Daniel with considerable disdain. I now have much more respect for him regardless of his political leanings. If all the parts of the story are correct, then we must assume Catherine was pregnant with our ancestor Daniel II born April 16, 1767.
3rd Generation:Issue of Daniel MCKINNON (son of Lord Michael and Mamie) and spouse Catherine ? are: Catherine "Katie" b about 1766 and Daniel b April 16, 1767 in Fayette City, Fayette Pennsylvania and d August 25, 1837 in Moorefield Clark Ohio. Daniel married Nancy HARRISON 1772-1856. Although I am not going into the HARRISON line at this time it is mind boggling of the historic people she is related to. Through Nancy I am related to President James MADISON, Colonel William CRAWFORD, and all the royal families of Europe. Issue of Daniel MCKINNON and Nancy HARRISON are: Judge William 1789-1861, Daniel 1791-1864, Theaophelus 1795, John Benjamin 1796-1850, Uriah 1797-1849, Catherine 1800-1849, Josiah 1804-1837, Sarah 1806-1894 and Thomas Dillow 1809-1882 (Thomas Dillow is my line and we will continue from there to the exclusion of all other offspring. [41]
April 16, 1771: Two of the townships in the list formed by the Court of Quarter
Sessions of that county on April 16, 1771, were Pitt Township and
Springhill Township. The division line between them was a line
drawn due west by the mouth of Redstone Creek. North of that
line to the Kiskeminitas River was Pitt Township, and south of
that line to the southern limit of the state was Springhill Township,
embracing the whole of the present Greene County. Both townships
eastward embraced what are now parts of Westmoreland and Fayette counties.[42]
April 16, 1771: William Crawford holds first court in Bedford County. [43]
Bedford Gounty, formed on March 9, 1771, from the western
part of Gumberland Gounty, extended to the western boundary of
the state including all the c6untry west of the Alleghany mountains,
with the exact location of the western boundary still undetermined.
Two of the townships in the list formed by the Gourt of Quarter
Sessions of that county on April 16, 1771, were Pitt Township and
Springhill Township. The division line between them was a line
drawn due west by the mouth of Redstone Greek. North of that
line to the Kiskeminitas River was Pitt Township, and south of
that line to the southern limit of the state was Springhill Township,
embracing the whole of the present Greene Gounty. Both townships
eastward embraced what are now parts of Westmoreland and Fayette
counties. The tax-rolls for Bedford Gounty for the year 1772, (an
official copy made in 1774 being in the writer's possession), shows
that as taxables for 1772 Pitt Township had fifty-two landholders,
twenty tenants, and thirteen single freemen; and Springhill Town-
ship had three hundred and eight landholders, eighty-nine tenants,
and fifty-eight single freemen; indicating conclusively that the
great majority of the first settlers in this section had sat down in
the region south of Washington, Pa., coming most probably from
Virginia and Maryland.
The county seat of Bedford Gounty was at Bedford about one
hundred miles east from Pittsburg, where its first court was held
on April 16, 1771, and George Wilson living near the mouth of
George's Greek in what is now southern Fayette Gounty; Gaptain
William Grawford, living on the Youghiogheny opposite what is
now Gonnellsville; Thomas Gist, living at Mount Braddock, near
Union town; and Dorsey Pentecost, then living on his tract called
"Greenaway" in the "Forks of the Yough," but in 1777, removing
to the East Branch of Chartiers Creek, were justices of the peace
and judges of the county courts. Virginia at this date had not yet
extended the jurisdiction of her courts over Western Pennsylvania.
But the officials of the Province of Pennsylvania, seeing the
extent to which her territory west of the Alleghanies was filling
up with settlers chiefly from Virginia and Maryland, and not being
unadvised, perhaps, of the future intention of Virginia to extend
her jurisdiction over the valleys of the Monongahela and Ohio,
having been in correspondence with the Virginia officials upon the
subject from 1754, now came to the conclusion to pay more atten-
tion to her own rights in these valleys, and on February 26, 1773,
an act was passed by the provincial assembly creating the County
of Westmoreland out of the western part of Bedford County, and
extending westward to the boundary line of the province, still
undetermined. This new county thus included all of Allegheny
County east of the Allegheny River and south of the Monon-
gahela; all of Beaver south of the Monongahela; all of Indiana and
that part of Armstrong east of the Allegheny; all of Washington
and Greene, and all of Fayette, making a county of magnificent
proportions.
The first county seat of Westmoreland County was at Hannas-
town, a hamlet about three miles northeast of Greensburg, to which
it was subsequently removed. The first justices and officers of its
courts were commissioned in the name of His Majesty George III.,
the commissions purporting to have been granted by "Richard
Penn, Esq., Lieutenant Governor and Commander in Chief of the
Province of Pennsylvania and Counties of New Castle, Kent and
Sussex, on the Delaware."
Of the original townships of the new County of Westmoreland,
two were Pitt and Springhill, with limits somewhat if not wholly
the same as the limits of the townships of those names of Bedford
County. But, as these townships, in which were all the lands of
Pennsylvania west of the Monongahela River, were already so
well settled, it is not necessary to particularize here the persons
who took part in the business of .the courts of the county, either
as judges, officers, juries, attorneys, or suitors. Suffice it to state
that among the justices were, Capt. William Crawford, heretofore
mentioned; Arthur St. Clair, afterwards a major-general in the
American Revolution; Alexander McKee, of McKee's Rocks, after-
wards with Simon Girty a deserter to the British-Indians; George
Wilson, of George's Creek, now Fayette County; Robert Hanna, of Hannastown; James Caveat of near Pittsburgh, and sub-
sequently Van Swearingen, the first Sheriff of Washington County,
and Andrew McFarland and Oliver Miller, both of the Mingo Creek
settlement, Washington County; and Henry Taylor, occupying lands
just northeast of Washington, the great-grandfather of Hon J. F.
Taylor, one of the present Judges of Washington County, was
indicted for assault and battery, doubtless arising out of disputes
concerning his boundary lines.
The townships of Westmoreland County any part of which lay
west of the Monongahela River were Pitt and Springhill, with
boundaries the same as those two townships of Bedford County
created two years before. As already indicated, the division line
between them was a line due west by the mouth of Redstone Creek
(Brownsville) to the western boundary of the state, thus passing
rather centrally through our present townships of East Bethlehem
West Bethlehem, Amwell, Morris, East Finley and West Finley,
Washington County townships bordering on the present Greene
County. All of Washington County north of that line, was in Pitt
Township, and all south of that line, as well as all of Greene
County, was in Springhill Township, Westmoreland County.
The territory of Westmoreland County out of which Wash-
ington County was afterwards erected, must have been very much
of a wilderness in 1773, although at that date settlers had seated
themselves in many parts of it; for, at the October Term, October 1773, of the Court of Quarter Sessions of that County, "upon the Petition i
of Divers Inhabitants of the township of Pitt" viewers were i
appointed to lay out "a Public Road leading from the South-West '
side of the Monongahela River opposite the town of Pittsburg, by |
Dr. Edward Hand's land on the Chartiers, to the Settlement up said |
creek supposed to be at or near the western Boundary of the
Province of Pennsylvania." There are reasons for believing that
the settlement here referred to was the settlement in the neighbor-
hood of the present Canonsburg[44], or on the East Branch of Chartiers.
At all events this was the first attempt to lay out by judicial
proceedings a public road in any part of what is now Washington
County. [45]
Fort Pitt, Virginia Sunday, April 16th, 1775 Left Mr. De Camp’s. Travelled over small hills, woods, and dirty roads to Bush Creek, called at a Mill where by acting the Irishman, got a feed. of Corn for our horses. . Crossed Turtle Creek. Dined at Myer’s Ordinary. After dinner got a man to conduct us to the place where General Braddock was defeated by the French and Indians July 9, 1755. It is on the Banks of the Mon-in-ga-ha-ly River. Found great numbers of bones, both men and horses. The trees are injured, I suppose by the Artillery. It appears to me the front of our Army never extended more than 300 yards and the greatest slaughter seems to have been made within 400 yards of the River, where it is level and full of underwood. Farther from the River it is hilly and some, rocks where the enemy would still have the advantage of the ground.. We could not find one whole skull, all of them broke to pieces in the upper part, some of them had holes broken in them about an inch diameter, suppose it to be done with a Pipe tomahawk. I am told the wounded were all massacred by the Indians. . Got to Fort Pitt in the eveninig. Land very good, but thinly inhabited. Our landlord seems to be very uneasy to know where we come from.[46]
April 16, 1776: Nelson, John. Captain John Nelson raised a company of riflemen in Maryland and Berkeley County, Va., in the spring of 1776. He joined Capt. Hugh Stephenson on Staten Island with his company. On April 16th, 1776, H. Bedinger wrote in his journal, "Captain Nelson's Company Sett off for New York in order to go to Quebec." There appear to have been a few Shepherdstown men in this Company. [47]
Nelson, Thomas. Private in Captain Stephenson's company. The name occurs in the list of prisoners on board the Jersey prison-ship. [48]

April 16, 1799: Napoleon defeated the Ottoman Turks in the Battle of Mount Tabor and drove them across the Jordan River. This the same Mount Tabor that was the staging area for the armies of Deborah and Barak, as they faced the assembly of Canaanites and their chariots arrayed below them on the plain to the west. It is also the same Mount Tabor where the Midianite kings killed the brothers of the Judge named Gideon. Both episodes are described in the Book of Judges. [52]

April 16, 1782
1 The first published account of the progress of the expedition to the “Muskingum,” is to be found in the Pennsylvania Packet of April 16, 1782, and in the Pennsylvania Gazette of the next day. It is as follows:
“A number of men, properly provided, collected and rendezvoused on the Ohio, opposite the Mingo bottom [the Mingo bottom already spoken of as just below what is now Steubenville, Ohio], with a design to surprise the above towns [previously described as ‘Indian towns upon the Muskingum The weather was very cold and stormy, the [Ohio] river high, and no boats or canoes to transport themselves across. These difficulties discouraged some, but 160 [about 1001 determined to persevere, and they swam the river, in doing of which some of their horses perished with the severity of the cold. When they got over, officers were chosen, and they proceeded to the towns on the Muskingum [that is, to the branch of that stream now known as the Tuscarawas].”[54]
April 16, 1782
“The person above mentioned to have escaped from the enemy says, that he was taken by six Indians, two of which called themselves Moravians, and spoke good Dutch, and were the most severe and ill-natured to him. He was taken to the above towns, and from thence four of the above Indians set out with him for St. Duskie. The second day of their march, in the morning, he was sent out for the horses when he left them, and, being a good woodsman, came off clear and got to Fort Pitt. [This was Carpenter: see p. 243, note.j
“While at Muskingum the two Moravian Indians learnt him an Indian song, which they frequently made him sing, by way of insult, and afterward interpreted to him in obscene language; and he left them at Muskinguni where they staid, in order to go out with the next party against our settlements.
“Our informant further says, that last Thursday two weeks, upwards of
300 men, properly equipped on horseback, set out for St. Duskie. it is hoped
they will succeed in their expedition, and hereby secure themselves from the
future encroaches of the savages.”— Pennsylvania Packet, April 16, 1782 (No.872).
It has been mentioned that Captain (?) John Carpenter” was captured by the savages previous to them being called out by Marshel “to gate Muskingum” (ante, p. 239, note 4). He afterwards escaped from his captor & Carpenter’s report as published in the Pennsylvania Pocket of April 16th, 1782, was as follows:
“The person above mentioned [John Carpenter] to have escaped from the enemy says that he was taken by six Indians, two of which called themselves ‘Moravians,’ and spoke good Duteh [German] and were the most severe and ill-natured to him. He was taken to the above towns [previously mentioned as ‘Indian towns upon the Muskingum’] and from thence four of the above Indians ‘[who had captured Carpenter] set out with him for St. Duskie [San-dusky]. The second day of their march, in the morning, he was sent out for the horses, when he left them, and being a good woodsman came off clear, and got to Fort Pitt [reaching the settlements before the militia started for the “Muskingum”]
“While at Muskingum, the two Moravian Indians learnt [taught] him an Indian song, which they frequently made him sing, by way of insult, and afterward interpreted to him in obscene language; and he [Carpenter] left them -[the two Moravian Indians] at Muskingum, where they stayed in order to go out with the next party against our settlements.”
The following contains additional particulars of Carpenter’s escape:
“A man of the name of John Carpenter was taken early in the month of March, in the neighborhood of this place [Wellsburgh, Brooke county, West Virginia]. There had been several warm days, but the night preceding his capture there was a heavy fall of snow. Hit two horses which they [the savages] took with him, nearly perished in swimming the Ohio. The Indians as well as himself, suffered severely with the cold before they reached the Moravian towns on the Muskiugum [that is, the branch now known as the Tuscarawas]. In the morning after the first [2d] day’s journey beyond the Xoravian towns, the Indians sent out Carpenter to bring in the horses which had been turned out in the evening, after being hobbled. The horses had made a circuit and fallen into the trail by which they came the preceding day, and were making their way homeward. When he overtook the horses and had taken off their fetters, as he said, he had to make a most awful decision. He ‘had a chance and barely a chance, to make his escape, with a certainty of death should he attempt it without success; on the other hand the horrible prospect of being tortured to death by fire, presented itself, as he was the first prisoner taken that spring; of course, the general custom of the Indians of burning the first prisoner every spring, doomed him to the flames. After spending a few minutes in making his decision, he resolved on attempting an escape, and effected it by way of Forts Laurens, McIntosh, and [Fort Pitt] Pittsburgh. If I recollect rightly, he brought both his borses home with him. I’his ‘happened in the year 1782.”— Doddridge’s Notes (new ad.), pp. 263, 26$. Compare, in this connection, the Cincinnati Commercial, May 24, 1873, as to Carpenter’s capture and escape. This was the same Carpenter previously mentioned (ante, p. 197, note) as a new state justice of the peace.[55]

[Note: (Col) Fielding Lewis was the husband of Betty Washington, George's sister: see http://www.kenmore.org/kenmore.html].[57]

Richmond, a small inland town, early in the afternoon of the same day. The march was again resumed on the next day. The column advanced slowly in consequence of the heavy roads impeding the progress of the train. The country through which we were now passing is one of the richest and most valuable in Louisiana. An annual overflow by the waters of the Mississippi was prevented only by a succession of levees. [65]

• April 16, 1871: Under the initiative of the Liberal party, full rights were extended to Jews including serving in public positions. By April 16, 1871 it became Imperial Law and was extended to the entire empire. Although later reaction revoked most of this freedom, the discrimination never returned to the level existing in the "Middle Ages" - until the rise of Hitler. [68]
April 16, 1905: Robert N. Ogden, Jr.
Robert Nash Ogden, Jr (May 5, 1839-April 16, 1905[1]) was an author, confederate Lieutenant colonel, judge, orator, poets, lawyer and Speakers of the Louisiana House of Representatives.
Robert Nash Ogden, Jr was as born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on May 5, l839,[2] to Robert Nash Ogden and Frances Sophia Nicholson.[3] He attended the University of North Carolina for two and a half years[3][4] He studied law under Frederick Nash at Hillsboro, N.C.

April 16, 1914
Comrades Willis Butters, Erastus Smith, P.G. Cook, W. H. Goodlove and A. E. Fuller attended the funeral of Peter Wolverton, and old soldier, at Waubeek Tuesday afternoon.[71]
April 16, 1961 (1:45 P.M.) After a bout of indecision on a local golf course, JFK
approves a dawn air strike of Cuba.
(9:30 P.M.) McGeorge Bundy, Special Assistant to the President,
telephones General C. P. Cabell of the CIA to inform him that the dawn air strikes the following
morning should not be launched until they could be conducted from a strip within the
beachhead. This constitutes a total misreading and a complete reversal of the approved tactical plan. For
years afterward, it will be believed that JFK canceled the air cover for the Bay of Pigs invasion.
The man who actually does this is McGeorge Bundy. Dean Rusk gives Cabell and Richard
Bissell an opportunity to speak directly to JFK by telephone in order to convince him to provide
the needed air strikes. The CIA men see no point in speaking personally to the President and so
inform the Secretary of State. The order to cancel the D-Day strikes is then dispatched to the
departure field in Nicaragua, arriving when the pilots are in their cockpits ready for take-off. The
Joint Chiefs of Staff learn of the cancellation at varying hours the following morning.
Also on this night, General Edwin Walker leaves his command in West Germany -- he is
in disfavor with the administration for indoctrinating his troops with right-wing propaganda.
Says Walker: “My career has been destroyed. I must find another means of serving my country in time
of her great need. To do this I must be free from the power of the little men who, in the name of my
country, punish loyal service to it.”
Former vice president, Richard Nixon is quoted as saying that it is “near criminal” for
JFK to have called off the air cover once the invasion was launched. [72]
April 16, 1963 Oswald’s unemployment claim is rejected.
Oswald also writes the New York FPCC headquarters telling them that
