May 27, 1096 (3rd of Sivan): Count Emicho and the Crusaders entered Mayence, Germany. The Jews took refuge in the Episcopal Palace and committed mass suicide rather than convert. One Jew by the name of Isaac, his two daughters and a friend called Uriah allowed themselves to be baptized. Within a few weeks Isaac, who was remorseful of his act killed his daughters burned his own house. He and Uriah went to the local synagogue locked themselves in and burned it down. A large part of the city was destroyed.[1]
Many Jews committed suicide rather than fall into the hands of the murderous bands. Some of the authorities-the local bishops and citizens (burghers) tried to give some protection but often half-heartedly and not effectively. [2]

May 27, 1328: Philip VI (step 5th cousin 20x removed) is crowned King of France. Phillip’s attempts to take back territory that England held in France in 1337 is marked as the start of the Hundred Years War. This period would mark the further impoverishment of the kingdom’s Jews who had only been recently re-admitted to the realm. The Black Plague would also arrive in Europe in the middle of the 14th century, so it is difficult to say how much of the suffering of the Jews of Europe was the result of the ravages of the war and how much was the result of the plague and the anti-Semitic behavior that rose with it.[4]
1329: Robert Bruce (20th great grandfather) of Scotland dies of Leprosy[5] .Shortly before Robert the Bruce’s death in 1329 he requsted his body be brought to Jerusalem. Ancestors of the Sinclair’s and a group of Knights set out to fulfill his wish. The party was attacked and defeated by Muslims enroute. The Muslems took his body but gave his heart back to the remaining Knights who buried it at Melrose Abby, Scotland. [6] A street with the name of Via Scannaguidei (Kill the Jews Street) was noted and is still in existence today.

1334-1350
There were other reasons to kill Jews during the 14th century: disastrous harvests, severe famine, the Black Plague of 1334-1350; Jews were blamed for all of these, despite the fact that a large number of Jews also died a result of the famine and Plague, although not in as large numbers, because of the higher level of cleanliness.[16]
May 27, 1453: Beginning in the seventh century, Muslims began crossing the Bosphorus in an attempt to gain control of Constantinople. It survived these periodic Muslim blockades for almost 800 years. But at daybreak on May 27, 1453, after a two month siege from land and sea, an assault on the city was launched that proved to be crushingly effective. With their superior armaments and numbers, the Turks manageds to breach the ancient walls and flood inyto the city, causing terror and panic among the helpless inhabitants and inflicting heavy casualties.The bodies of the fallen warriors, Christians and muslims alike, were thrown into the Hellespont, where “they were carried along in the current like melons.” According to the Italian Niccolo Barbaro, “the Turks sought out the convents and took the nuns out to ships in the harbor to dishonor them before selling them as slaves.[17]

A Massachusetts woman was executed for witchcraft.[20]
May 27, 1647: Peter Stuyvesant was inaugurated as Director-General of New Netherland. It was while serving in this position, that Stuyvesant would greet the first group of Jews to settle in what would become New York City. After failing to force them out, he did what he could to treat them like second class citizens. While Stuyvesant had a somewhat distinguished career as soldier and political leader, the irony is that the group that has the strongest memory of him is the one whom he sought to harm – the Jewish people.[21]
May 27, 1679: The Pope suspended the Portuguese Inquisition due to its severe treatment of Marranos.[22]

May 27, 1707: Illegitimate Children of Louis XIV of France, By Françoise-Athénaïs de Rochechouart de Mortemart, marquise de Montespan (October 5, 1641 – May 27, 1707).[27]
May 27, 1754: In the effervescence of youthful valor,
as yet untried, he writes, — "We have, with nature's assistance,
made a good entrenchment, and by clearing the bushes out of these
meadows, prepared a charming field for an encounter."
This "French army" was the Jumonville party, commanded by
M. La Force. Under date of May 27th, Washington writes, —
"This morning Mr. Gist arrived from his place, where a detachment
of fifty men was seen yesterday at noon, commanded by M. La
Force. Fie afterwards saw their tracks within five miles of our
camp. I immediatel}" detached seventy-five men in pursuit of them,
who I hope will overtake them before they get to Redstone, where
their canoes lie.'* This latter idea seems to have been an error.
If canoes were there they probably belonged to friendly Indians;
for the French came by the Nemacolin path.
That same night (27th) the half-king, who, with some of his
people and Monacatootha, were encamped about six miles from the
Meadows, sent Washington an express, saying that he had tracked
the Jumonville party to its hiding place, about half a mile from
the path, in a very obscure camp, surrounded with rocks. Wash-
ington, with forty men, set out that dark and rainy night for the
Indian camp; where, after council held, an attack was determined to be made at once.[28]
Monday May 27, 1754
A local guide and friend of George Washington, Christopher Gist reports that a French force was near the Great Meadows. That evening a Native American named Silverheels brings news that his chief, the Half King, knows the location of the French camp. Washington gathers forty men together and sets off, guided by Silverheels to a rendezvous with the Half King. [29] In the upper Ohio Valley two hundred miles from Léry’s bivouac it had rained all night, and the forty Englishmen from Virginia were soaked to the skin. The trail they had followed had been poor and indistinct—hopeless in the black wet night. Seven men had become lost, but the rest had followed the broad back of their colonel for six miles through the sopping underbrush.[30]
The French act aggressively at Gist’s Plantation
On May 27, 1754, Washington heard that the French had acted aggressively at Christopher Gist‘s
plantation. He recorded it in his journal as follows:
May 27th Mr. Gist arrived early in the morning, who told us that Mr. la Force, with fifty
men whose tracks he had seen five miles from here, had been at his plantation the day
before, towards noon, and would have killed a cow, and broken every thing in the house,
if two Indians, whom he had left in charge of the house, had not prevented them from
carrying out their design: I immediately detached 65 men under the command of Captain
Hog, Lieutenant Mercer Ensign La Peronie, three Sergeants and three corporals, with
instructions.[31]
May 27, 1768: Under the subject of "All Saints' Parish, Frederick County, established in 1742, it is stated that the Reverend Bacon was the minister in charge of this church up to the time of his death, May 27, 1768. He was succeeded by the Rev. Bennett Allen.
1769:Early in 1769, the Rev. Jeremiah Berry, a native of Maryland, was in charge as curate of Monocacy Chapel and the Rev. Daniel McKennon, also as curate, was ministering to the Frederick congregation. [32]
1769:Daniel returned to Maryland in 1769 and is listed as the Minister at All Saints Parish in Frederick County, Maryland.[33]/[34]
1769:King James Version (Oxford Standard edition corrected by Dr. Benjamin Blayney).[35]
At the concession stand at the Washington Home at Mt. Vernon I purchased a copy of “George Washington’s Diaries,” an abridgment by Dorothy Turohig. She gives an explanation behind the messages and events which Washington describes (Ref36). Of particular interest this writer points out that “This land which William and Valentine Crawford had surveyed for the Washingtons in 1769 is in the vicinity of Perryopolis, PA, in what is now Fayette County, PA.” (Ref 33.9) I believe this is the parcels she is referring to. [36]
1769
In 1754, as an incentive to recruit men for the Virginia Regiment — which eventually bled so at Fort Necessity — Governor Dinwiddie had promised 200,000 acres of frontier land as a bounty. Fifteen years later, in 1769, Washington reminded Lord Botetourt, the latest of Dinwiddie’s successors, of that promise and obtained a grant of lands down the Ohio River, wherever a suitable tract might be found.

May 27th, Monday. 1782: At 7 we took up our line of march. Our course was W. a point to the Southward, the woods more open—some hills very steep—and several Defiles, the country very indifferent. On the top of a long ridge running W.S.W. our march was much impeded by fallen timber and thickets. Here we struck upon a path to the moravian Towns. This led us S.W. through a better country and Fort Tuscarawos bore N.W. A path led W. our proper course, but we declined taking it, for fear of being discovered. Besides, this path leads through several bad swamps, though it is considerably nearer. We halted after a march of 8 miles along a Creek (about 12 miles from Tuscarawos) in a Swampy Bottom, which was unknown to our pilots. After marching 2 miles S.S.W. through low grounds, we discovered several Sugar Camps and crossed Two Legs. [nc] Here we might again have taken a path leading off for the upper Moray. Town, but the former reasons prevailed. After crossing another Creek (name unknown) we encamped; about 3 miles from it.
I suppose this day’s march at 16 Miles; and we were thought to be 8 miles from Gnadenhütten, to which place a command of 112 Men was ordered to march next Morning of the Column on the Left— [45]

May 27th, 1782 BRUSHY CAMP No 2
Orders May27th 1782.
As it was too evident, what evil tendendes the firing of guns would have; the Colonel Commanding thought a verbal injunction sufficient to the different officers, to reason their men out of a practice, not only pernicious in its consequences but criminal in our present situation. A repeated transgression obliges the Col. Command’ to give the most positive order against all firing of guns on a march—in Camp & whilst out reconnoitring. Every Man must be convinced that besides those fatal consequences subsequent to it, and its criminality towards every Individual in Camp, it is an act of the most inexcusable imprudence with respect to himself, as it deprives him, of those very means upon which his hope of success, the preservation of his Life, and his return to his family depends. the Commandant is positively determined to punish any farther transgression of this Order: but he thinks it unnecessary to affix a penalty, as he too well knows, that he has the pleasure to command a Body actuated merely by principles of honour.—the officers will also not allow any man to go out a-hunting— [46]

May 27 to July 8?, 1863: Siege of Port Hudson, LA.[53] On the morning of May 27, and again on June 14, the Union army launched ferocious assaults against the 4 ½ mile-long string of earthworks protecting Port Hudson. These actions constituted some of the bloodiest and most severe fighting in the entire Civil War. As the siege continued, the Confederates nearly exhausted their ammunition and were reduced to eating mules, horses and rats. When word reachd Garnder that Vicksburg had surrendered, he realized that his situation was hopeless and nothing could be gained by continuing the defense of Port Hudson.

May 27, 1920: Although building support for rural school consolidation occupied the members of Buck Creek Church during the spring of 1920, a related activity began to compete for their attention. Seeking to gain a foothold in Iowa by exploiting the anti-Catholic sentiment that had developed over consolidation, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan secured a member of a well known family in the Buck Creek Church to be the local organizer, the”kleagle.” A drive to enlist members by staging local rallies was soon under way. The extent of Grant’s complicity in Klan activity is not clear, but there is no doubt that he did not discourage it either publicly or privately. Most Catholic families in the area believed the widespread rumor that Grant would “whoop it up for the Ku Klux Klan right from the pulpit.” Explicit mention of Klan activities during this period was scrupulously avoided in local newspapers. However, R. E. Goss, a local humorist, self proclaimed socialist, and contributor to the Hopkinton Leader, in commenting on the recent invention of a local entrepreneur noted for his dubious get righ quick schemes, included a thinly veiled swipe at the support the Buck Creek Church and ist pastor were giving toKlan activites in the area when he wrote, “F. A. Bort is some inventor, and the beauty of it is that his inventions are practical. Take for instance his chick feeder. It is just what everyfarmer wants and what they can now have. They are something that a salesman can sell faster than a Buck Creek preacher can snare suckers, and according to reports, that is going some.” Current residents whose families have lived in the Buck Creek area from the 1920’s or earlier readily acknowledge that Buck Creek was a hotbed of Klan activity during the “school controversy” and that its activity continued at least through 1924 and perhaps longer. Anti Catholic sentiment among some residents of southern Delaware and northern Jones Counties was not a new phenomenon. Indeed, it dates back to 1854, when members of the Know Nothing Party took credit for burning the first Castle Grove Church.[62]
Acts of actual physical violence perpetrated on persons by or in the name of the Klan in the area during the period in question were few. These were limited to a few instances in which Klan members picked fights with members of Irish Catholic families who had kept their sons out of the army during the First World War. NBevertheless, there was a spate of cross burnings. Although dedtails are lacking, most of the cross burnings appear to have occurred in Methodist neighborhoods in Union Township, particularly in the Buck Creek and Upper Buck Creek neighborhoods. While these may have been more a ploy to attract new members than to intimidate Catholic families into supporting trhe formation of a consolidated school district, there were some important exceptions.[63]
Most historians have interpreted the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in the Midwest in the immediate post World War I period as an antimodernist reaction against increasing urbanizatyion and the apparent destruction of rural valuews. Previous research suggests that the attraction of the Klan to many rural Midwesterners was that it offered the promise of preservfing rural values. It did so by channeling the patriotism and hatred of an external enemyu developed during the war and redirecting them against these who would seemingly deny the preserfvation of these values. This was preciseloy what the Countyry Life gospel as preached by Chalice and Grant also promised. The only difference lay in the more explicitly Janus faced nature of the community building project at the Buck Creek Church. That project was backward looking in its exaltation of farm life and traditional rural values but forward looking in its insistence on maintaining traditional values under changed social relations and material conditions of rural life. Rural life was to be of the city but in the country. Anti Catholic feelings were triggered by the realization among Methodists that Catholics could frustrated the fulfillment of that project by their rejection of rural school consolidation. Howcver, they were also implicit in it right from the beginning. In the attempt to make Buck Creek a Methodist place, Catholic families were denied a role, as Catholics, in that place’s future. Yet, they could lay claim to having shaped its history since the earliest days of European settlement every bit as much as the Methodists.
Once a significant number of Buck Creekers joined the Klan, the nature of the controversy over rural school consolidation changed and changed dramatically. In the late spring and early summer of 1920, however, the Klan was just gaining a foothold in the area. Initially, growth in Klan membership among Buck Creekers was greeted with little apparent alarm by local Catholics. For one thing, the Klan was a new phenomenon in Iowa; indeed, its activity in Buck Creek appears to have been the Klan’s first serious effort to recruit members anywhere in the state. Many in the Buck Creek area tried to shrug it off as an unpleasant fad, even a new form of rural social activity designed to help enliven an otherwise dull rural existence. Some saw it as a moneymaking scam, either to help line the pockets of particular individuals or to pad the coffers of the Buck Creek Church. As one Catholicwho later became active in fighting the consolidation proposal put it, “A lot of the boys that joined the Klan, they reached in their pocket and paid their dues and that’s the last they saw of them. It was a sucker deal.”[64]
Early May 1920: Since the Klan is a secret organization, membership data are nonexistent. It is not possible to estimate withn much precision how many memvbes or what percentage of the Buck Creek Church members joined the Klan. Interviews with long term residents of the area lead to estimates running from half the male heads of families to all but three family heads. There is agreement, however, that almost all members of the Brotherhood who championed the formation of the Buck Creek consolidated school district joined the Klan, with some becoming very active. From early May 1920 onward, interest in the Klan grew among the Buck Creekers as the conflict over the formation of a consolidated school district intensified and increasingly took on religious overtones. Indeed, some people were unable to distinguish between social activities of the Buck Creek Church supporting the consolidation drive and similar activities by the Klan. Simply put, it appears that the Klan became the clandestine arm of the Buck Creek Brotherhood. Speakers at Klan rallies argued that Catholics in the Buck Creek area were opposed to the fully American, rural minded, consolidated school for one of two reasons. First, Catholics wanted their own parochial schools; they wanted to retain the country schools to save money for the education of their children in parochial schools. Second, Catholics wanted to retain the country schools so they could convert them into de facto parochial schools run and taught by Catholics. Such rhetoric fueled the false rumor among Buck Creekers that the Castle Grove Parish operated a parochial high school at Castle Grove. The fact was that the old school building there had not been used as a school for more than two decades.
Curtis Griggs, one of the few members of the Buck Creek Chjurch w3ho opposed consolidation, remembered attending a Klan rally in the Buck Creek area with a friend who had already joined. Griggs did not join because “it cost $10.00 and I didn’t believe in anything that stirs up trouble…It was a fake. They took $10.00 from everybody that joined it and it was just to scare the Catholics about that trouble over the consolidated school. You see the Catholics was against the school and the Klan came in because of that to t
Stir up trouble.” Griggs, however, was the exception. [65]

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Samuel Colwell Vance (1770-1830), the son of David Vance, was born in Pennsylvania. He moved to Cincinnati,
Ohio, at an undetermined date and worked as a surveyor. In 1802, he married Mary Morris Lawrence (1783-1823)
(See also: SC 1235, Catherine Lawrence Randolph Letters), the granddaughter of Gen. Arthur St. Clair (1734-1818)
(See also: M 211, A.G. Mitten Collection; M 98, W.H. English Collection). In April of that year, he began laying out
the city of Lawrenceburg, Indiana (Dearborn Co.), which he named after his wife.
A year later, he was appointed Clerk of the Courts for Dearborn County by Gov. William Henry Harrison. According
to Indiana and Indianans (Vol. I, p. 262-263), Vance was the brother-in-law of Harrison, but the relationship could not
be verified in any other sources.
He was one of the directors of the Indiana Canal Company when it was chartered in 1805. Vance served as a soldier under Anthony Wayne (1745-1796) (See also: card catalog under the heading: Wayne, Anthony) and also fought in
the War of 1812. He made Lawrenceburg his permanent home in 1818.
(Some sources confuse Samuel Colwell Vance with Samuel Corville Vance (1762-1843) of Fayette County, Indiana.)

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
This collection consists of a letter, dated February 2, 1802, from C. Swan (?) to Capt. Samuel Vance. The letter was
written from "Washington," which was probably Washington D.C. In it, Swan discusses a measure to divide "the
Western Country into three states," which was defeated by Congress. He mentions a person named Worthington, who
opposed the measure. Swan states that the gentleman was "inimical to [Vance's] present governor," Arthur St. Clair,
who was also related to Vance.

Series 16: Carter H. Harrison III, Incoming Correspondence, 1842-1893, bulk 1878-1893
This series consists of correspondence sent to Carter H. Harrison III (1825-1893), Harrison's father. The subjects of the letters arranged in this series are varied. A number concern political matters, ranging from an explanation by Horace Boies, Governor of Iowa, of his positions on free coinage and trade, to requests by other Democratic politicians for promotions or jobs for their friends or constituents. Other letters are personal, such as thanks for his hospitality following visits, requests for meetings, letters of introduction, letters from his mother while he was at Yale, and letters from his wife. Also in this series is a letter from James S. Duff, who was in charge of the Chicago mayor's office during the administrations of John Rice and R. B. Mason, presenting Harrison's father with the keys to the old mayor's office that was destroyed during the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.
Certain of the items have handwritten annotations by Harrison explaining the context of the letter or providing some background material about the author, although far fewer of the letters in this series are annotated than in Series 2 (Incoming Correspondence).
This series is arranged alphabetically by the sender's name. Multiple items within a folder are then arranged chronologically.

Series 10: Printed Invitations and Souvenirs, 1883-1952
This series primarily consists of printed invitations, menus, and other souvenirs that Harrison collected as mementos of various dinners, receptions, and other functions that he attended. In addition, this series also includes various political mementos, including a humorous excursion ticket that mentions Carter H. Harrison III, and admission tickets to political conventions. Catalogues from exhibitions where items from Harrison's art collection were shown, or in which he otherwise had a special interest, as well as a set of club by-laws from Les Rosettes et Rubans de France, are also arranged in this series. A few of the items contain handwritten notes by Harrison that provide some background information about the event to which the item in question pertains.
The items in this series are arranged alphabetically by the name of the person, place or event to which they relate.
