June 1755: Stewart's Crossing was on the Youghiogheny River below present-day Connellsville, Pa. The site was named for William Stewart, who settled there in 1753 (COOK, 15). Braddock's army had crossed the Youghiogheny at this ford in June 1755 on the way to Fort Duquesne. The area was included in the tract of land on the Youghiogheny surveyed and occupied by William Crawford in 1769. [1]

Crawford settled at Stewart's Crossing on the Youghiogheny (present Connellsville)
in 1765, bringing his family the next year. The succeeding years
were full of activity as surveyor for George, Samuel, John Augustine, and
Lund Washington, in locating lands and viewing lands for veterans of the
French and Indian War. Washington stayed at his house during one of these
trips (1770), and Crawford accompanied him down the Ohio and up the
Kanawha. C. W. Butterfield, Washington-Crawford Letters, Cincinnati (1877),

Deceased, Boston (1927), 301, 324-327, 341-342. In Dunmore's War Crawford
became a major and, in the jurisdictional controversies in Western
Pennsylvania, was a strong partizan of Virginia.
June 1769: One bright morning in Juen, 1769, the figure of a stalwart, broad shouldered man could have been seen standing on the wild and rugged promontory which rears its rocky bluff high abouve the Ohio river, at a point near the mouth of Wheeling Creek. He was alne save for the companionship of a deerhound that crouched at his feet. As he leaned on a long rifle, contemplating the glorious scene that stretched before him a smile flashed across his bronzed cheek, and his heart bounded as he forecast the future of that spot. In the river below him lay an island so round and green that it resembled a huge lily pad floating placidly on the water. The fresh green foliage of the trees sparkled with glittering dewdrops. Back of him rose the high ridges, and, in front, as far as eye could reach, extended an unbroken fordst.
Beneath him to the left and across a deep ravine he saw a wide level clearing. The few scattered and blackened tree stumps showed the ravages made by a forest fire in the years gone by. The field was now overgrown with hazel and laurel bushes, and intermingling with them were the trailing arbutus, the honeysuckle, and the wild rose. A gragrant perfume was wafted upward to him. A rushing creek bordered one edge of the clearing. After a long quit reach of water, which could be seen winding back in the hills, the stream tumbled madly over a rocky ledge, and white with foam, it hurried onward as if impatient of long restraint, and lost its individuality in the broad Ohio.
This solitary hunter was Colonel Ebenezer Zane. He was one of those daring men, who, as the tide of emigration started westward, had left his friends and family and had struck out alone into the wilderness. Departing from his home in Eastern Virginia he had plunged into the woods, and after many days of hujnting and explring, he reached the then far Western Ohio valley.
The scene so impressed Colonel Zane that he concluded to found a settlement here. Taking “tomahawk possession” of the locality (which consisted of blazing a few trees with his tomahawk), he built himself a rude shack and remained that summer on the Ohio.[5]
June 1770: Despite his previous misgivings, Adams was elected to the Massachusetts General Court (the colonial legislature) in June 1770, while still in preparation for the trial.
Dispute concerning Parliament's authority
In 1772, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Hutchinson announced that he and his judges would no longer need their salaries paid by the Massachusetts legislature, because the Crown would henceforth assume payment drawn from customs revenues. Boston radicals protested and asked Adams to explain their objections. In "Two Replies of the Massachusetts House of Representatives to Governor Hutchinson" Adams argued that the colonists had never been under the sovereignty of Parliament. Their original charter was with the person of the king and their allegiance was only to him. If a workable line could not be drawn between parliamentary sovereignty and the total independence of the colonies, he continued, the colonies would have no other choice but to choose independence.
In Novanglus; or, A History of the Dispute with America, From Its Origin, in 1754, to the Present Time Adams attacked some essays by Daniel Leonard that defended Hutchinson's arguments for the absolute authority of Parliament over the colonies. In Novanglus Adams gave a point-by-point refutation of Leonard's essays, and then provided one of the most extensive and learned arguments made by the colonists against British imperial policy.
It was a systematic attempt by Adams to describe the origins, nature, and jurisdiction of the unwritten British constitution. Adams used his wide knowledge of English and colonial legal history to show the provincial legislatures were fully sovereign over their own internal affairs, and that the colonies were connected to Great Britain only through the King.
June 1771: (Crawford’s surveys, nos. 2—10, dated June 1771, are in DLC:GW; a copy of his first survey, dated June 1771, is at the University of Pittsburgh).
June 1774, Gage easily sealed the ports of Boston and Charlestown using the formidable British navy, leaving merchants terrified of impending economic disaster. Many merchants wanted to simply pay for the tea and disband the Boston Committee of Correspondence, which had served to organize anti-British protests. The merchants' attempt at convincing their neighbors to assuage the British failed. A town meeting called to discuss the matter voted them down by a substantial margin.
Parliament hoped that the Coercive Acts would isolate Boston from Massachusetts, Massachusetts from New England and New England from the rest of North America, preventing unified colonial resistance to the British. Their effort backfired. Rather than abandon Boston, the colonial population shipped much-needed supplies to Boston and formed extra-legal Provincial Congresses to mobilize resistance to the crown. By the time Gage attempted to enforce the Massachusetts Government Act, his authority had eroded beyond repair.[6]
June 1774
Fort Henry
The fort at Wheeling, first named Fort Fincastle for one of Lord Dunmore's titles, was built early in June 1774, by Major William Crawford whom John Connolly, the Royal Captain Commandant of West Augusta, then at Fort Pitt, sent down the Ohio River for this purpose. In Lord Dunmore's war Major Crawford made three expeditions to the Indian territory, in the second of which he built Fort Fincastle.
It was built on the site of Zane's Run, and was originally named Fort Fincastle, 1774. It was renamed Fort Henry, in honor of Gov. Patrick Henry, 1776."[7]
Fort Henry, at Wheeling, was built at the expense of the English Government, by the order of the Earl of Dunmore, while on his campaign against the Indians in the summer of 1774, who, when he descended the river in pursuit of the Indians on the Scioto, left Colonel William Crawford and Angus McDonald, with a detatchment of men to build and garrison the fort. [8]
The fort was substantially built of squared timbers painted at the top and furnished with bastions and sentry boxes at the angles. The interior of the fort contained a house for the officers and barracks for the men. Its area was something more than half an acre.
This fort was designed for the refuge and protection of the lower settlements in this district of country, and being next in strength and importance to fort Pitt, soon attracted the notice of the Indians and their English allies, who at three different periods attempted to break up the establishment.[9]
The first fort at Wheeling was built in the summer of 1774, by order of Lord Dunmore, under direction of Majors William Crawford and Angus McDonald. It stood upon the Ohio bank about a quarter of a mile above the entrance of Wheeling Creek. Standing in open ground, it was a parallelogram of square pickets pointed at top, with bastions and sentry boxes at the angles, and enclosed over half an acre. It ranked in strength and importance, next to Fort Pitt. Within the fort were log barracks, an officers’ house, a storehouse, a well, and cabins for families. A steep hill rises not far inland; between the fort and the base of this hill the forest had been leveled, and a few log cabins were nestled in the open. At first the fort had been called Fincastle, for the Ohio Valley settlements were then in Fincastle County, Va; but upon the opening of the Revolution the post, now in Ohio County, was named Fort Henry, in honor of the first state governor of Virginia. [10]
June 1775: Before the Declaration was drafted Thomas Jefferson served as a delegate from Virginia to the Second Continental Congress beginning in June 1775, soon after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. He sought out John Adams who, along with his cousin Samuel, had emerged as a leader of the convention.[45] Jefferson and Adams established a lifelong friendship and would correspond frequently; Adams ensured that Jefferson was appointed to the five-man committee to write a declaration in support of the resolution of independence.[46][11]
June 1775: Henry Bedinger of the County of Berkely and State of Virginia declares that his Brother George M. Bedinger now a resident in Nicholas County, Kentucky, and himself entered as Volunteers, for one year, early in the month of June 1775, in the Company of Volunteer Riflemen then raising in Berkeley County, by Captain Hugh Stephenson, that they Marched in said Company and arrived at the siege of Boston, and served the full term for which they Was engaged, that subsequently the said G M Bedinger entered as a Volunteer in a Company Commanded by Captain William Morgan of Berkeley Commanded by Captain William Morgan of Berkeley…[12]
The Revolutionary War had just begun when the Second Continental Congress met in emergency session in Philadelphia. At Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill, and now in June 1775, amid the Boston siege, the Minutemen’s inaccurate smoothbore muskets stood slim chance of hitting a Redcoat beyond 50 yards. What could be done?
John Hancock, a Freemason, whose elegant signature graces the Declaration of Independence, urged his congressional colleagues to recruit America’s frontier riflemen, “the finest marksmen in the world.
“ Future president John Adams agreed, noting that they could fire with “great exactness to great distances.” Thus, by special Act opf Congress the very first unit of what became the U.S. Army was as revolutionary as the war itself, an all-volunteer rifle battalion. From the trackless forests of Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland, marksmen by the hundreds grabbed their fine longrifles and set off for Boston.
They were truly elite, these rifleman-sharpshooters, never exceeding 5 percent of the Continental Army’s foot soldiers; yet, these few legendary marksmen and their precision shooting would prove decisive at the war’s most critical moments. In Boston, the newly organized 12 companies of 82 marksmen quickly made life hazardous on the British lines. Congress was told, “riflemen picked off ten men in one day, three of whom were Field officers [and] one of them was killed at the distance of 250 yards, when only half his head was seen.”That toll soon rose to 42 enemy soldiers and officers, causing one Englishmen to write home that the riflemen’s fire had, “grown so terrible…that nothing is to be seen over the breastworks but a hat.” Another British visitor warned, “Advise your officers who shall hereafter come out to America to settle their affairs before their departure.” [13]
June, 1775
In June 1775, Battle Harrison enlisted in the rifle company raised by Hugh Stephenson[14], brother of John Stephenson, and half-brother of William Crawford. Battle Harrison was one of Capt. Hugh Stephenson’s “buckskin” riflemen, who carried scalping knives and tomahawks, in the long march to assist in relief of the siege at Boston.[15]
June 1775: Hugh Stephenson, a son of GW’s old friend Richard Stephenson of Frederick County and a half brother to Valentine and William Crawford, lived in the Shenandoah Valley until the Revolution. In response to a request by the Continental Congress in June 1775, Virginia raised two companies of riflemen, most of whom came from the Valley and the frontier. The two companies, led by Capt. Daniel Morgan and Capt. Hugh Stephenson, marched to Cambridge and participated in the siege of Boston.[16]
Aldridge, Benjamin. Enlisted in Captain Stephenson's company of riflemen in June 1775. Perhaps a son of Robert Aldridge. No records after the term for which this company enlisted, which was one year.
Allen, Ebenezer. Enlisted as above. No further records.
Anderson, --- . A captain of Berkeley County militia.
Anderson, William. Enlisted in 1775 in Captain Stephenson's company. Re-enlisted in Captain Shepherd's company in June 1776. Was taken prisoner Nov. 16th (November 16) of that year at Fort Washington. Joined the British army to save his life. No further records. Possibly a son of the widow, Catherine Anderson. (See Landowner's List.)
McCann, Robert. Enlisted in Captain Stephenson's company in June 1775. Henry Bedinger wrote in his journal on the march of this company to Boston that, at Allentown, Pa., "In the evening Robert McCann Behaved Scandalously towards the Officers, was put under Guard, kept all Night. * * * we then Marched about four miles to a very fine Spring where there was a Court Martial Held over Robert McCann. He was sentenced to have twenty-five Lashes on his Bare Back and a Discharge to be given him. He was then Striped and tied up to a Sapling, but a Couple of Gentlemen Volunteers from Reading Begged him off to a Ducking. All hands were then ordered with pails and Kettles to attend and pour the Cold Spring Water on him. He was then most Severely Ducked and Discharged."
McCartney, Henry. Enlisted in Captain Stephenson's company in 1775.
Tunison, Garret. Dr Garret Tunison, "arrived in Shepherdstown in 1773. Became a resident practicing physician. He entered Captain H. Stephenson's Company of Volunteer Riflemen, as a Surgeon, in June 1775, about the same time as myself. We marched to Boston. There he acted by appointment also to three other volunteer Companies, viz., Daniel Morgan's Michael Cresap's, and Thomas Price's, the two last from Maryland. On the 8th of July, 1776, (July 8) Stephenson received a Colonel's Commission and was ordered to raise a Rifle Regiment. The men were enlisted for three years, and Tunison was retained as Surgeon. * * * In September the Regiment was ordered to Ft. Lee on the North River, and thence across the river to the defence of Fort Washington, where the regiment was captured. Tunison, with a few of its officers and men being on duty at other points, escaped the general destruction." (Letter of Henry Bedinger, dated November 12, 1830.) Dr. Tunison continued to serve as a surgeon in other corps of the army. After the Revolution he returned to his old home in New Jersey.[17]
Late June 1775: The Governor and Council of Pennsylvania were probably engaged in the consideration of affairs of a most auspicious nature ; but, in the latter part of June, 1775, the sheriff of Westmoreland county, aided by a posse of effective strength, proceeded to Pittsburgh and set the two justices at large, taking Dr. John Connolly with him to Hanna's town ;[18]

At Copp’s Hill Burying Ground in Boston are buried two of 17th century Boston’s most learned and most powerful men. Increase and Cotton Mather, father and son, were both ministers, both active in politics. Their family was a literal dynasty which charted the course of Puritanism in Massachusetts.
The younger Mather is best known today for his 1689 book “Memorable Providences, Relating to Witchcrafts and Possessions,” which helped fuel the witch hysteria in nearby Salem. After the witch trials began, however, both of the Mathers did all they could to stop them. [24]

The land going up to the hilltop fortifications and to the rail fence was pasture, covered in tall grass, full of hidden obstructions and not advantageos for troops accustomed to rigid formation tactics. Charlestown’s houses, just south of the patriots’ redoubt, concealed snipers. The town was set afire by British incendiary projectiles fired from ships and batteries in Boston early in the afternoon.

June 1776: The month before the signing, Jefferson took notes of the Congressional debates over the proposed Declaration in order to include such sentiments in his draft, among other things justifying the right of citizens to resort to revolution.[49] Jefferson also drew from his proposed draft of the Virginia Constitution, George Mason's draft of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, and other sources.
The historian Joseph Ellis states that the Declaration was the "core of [Jefferson]'s seductive appeal across the ages".[50] After working for two days to modify the document, Congress removed language that was deemed antagonistic to friends in Britain and Jefferson's clause that indicted the British monarchy for imposing African slavery on the colonies. This was the longest clause removed.[49] Congress trimmed the draft by about one fourth, wanting the Declaration to appeal to the population in Great Britain as well as the soon to be United States, while at the same time not wanting to give South Carolina and Georgia reasons to oppose the Declaration on abolitionist grounds. Jefferson deeply resented some of the many omissions Congress made.[49][51][49]
June 17, 1776: Fifth Regiment General Stevens Brigade, William Crawford was promoted to lieutenant-colonel. He served until August 14, 1776. He was promoted to colonel at Trenton, NJ, December 26, 1776, of the Seventh Regiment which he headed 1776-1778. It was raised largely by William Crawford in the district of West Augusta. It was accepted by Congress February 29, 1776 and was taken on the Continental Establishment June 17, 1776. It seems to have been attached to General Woodford’s brigade. [50]\
June 1777: Franz Gottlob, born 1752/1753, had been in the service 6 years and one month since he had enlisted in Werneck (Germany) in June 1777. He had served as a Grenadier in von Linsingen’s 4th Battalion. His status: “Deserted; Deserted to the Enemy”. [51] JG

June 1777: Henry Laurens only served as vice president of South Carolina until June 1777. He was elected to the Continental Congress in January of that year and became the president of Congress under the Articles of Confederation[55] on November 1, 1777, a position he held until December 9, 1778. Beginning in 1780, Laurens served 15 months of imprisonment in the Tower of London after being taken captive on a Congressional mission to Holland. He spent the last years of his life in retirement on his plantation, where he lived until his death in 1792. [56]
June 1778: Wounded again, Benedict Arnold was transferred to Philadelphia in June 1778. His first wife had died, and he then met and married nineteen-year-old Margaret (Peggy) Shippen. This is the Shippen family of William, Edward—founder of Shippensburg in Franklin County (whose daughter Sarah married James Burd, who built a fort on the Mon and was a construction leader in both the French & Indian War as well as our Revolution), Joseph (a colonel in the French & Indian War), and others.
After a courts-martial where he was acquited on most accounts, he began his correspondence with General Sir Henry Clinton leading to his demand of £20,000 for surrendering West Point with its 3,000 troops. When Major John André was captured with incriminating papers, Arnold was was found out. He fled to New York city and then to England. Peggy Shippen is believed to have been in on the deceit. Arnold's name is now a synonym for "traitor."[57]
June 1779: Brady's Bend - Samuel Brady. PA 68 1.3 miles east (up the hill) from East Brady, Clarion County. Photo by compiler with Joyce Chandler. Enlarged photo
"Brady's Bend. Named for Capt. Samuel Brady (1756-1795), famed frontier scout and the subject of many legends. Near here in June 1779—in what was then Seneca territory—he led a force seeking to redress the killing of a settler and her four children, and the taking of two children as prisoners. The force surrounded a party of seven Indians—apparently both Seneca and Munsee—killing their leader (a Munsee warrior) and freeing the two children.
"Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission."
Possibly the most renowned Sam Brady story is his “leap.” In 1780, while being chased by hostile Indians, Brady approached the Cuyahoga River near Kent, OH at a point where the river was no more than a gorge through the earth. On foot, Brady leaped across the river and evaded the Indians who realized that circumventing the gorge would cost them too much time—so they gave up and Brady was free. Persons returning to the gorge at a later date, measured the gap at twenty-two feet. The pursuing Indians were to have said, “He did not jump: he flew.”

"West Liberty. First organized town in the Ohio Valley. Formed in 1787. First court of Ohio County met at Black's Cabin here in 1777. Near by is grave of Captain Samuel Brady, hero of the Pennsylvania and Virginia frontiers."
In 1783, Sam Brady married Drusilla van Swearingen—the daughter of Captain Andrew van Swearingen. Van Swearingen had arrived in the area in 1771 after William Houston had caught a thirty-pound catfish on a creek and proclaimed the water as "catfish creek." (This tale conflicts with the story of a Delaware Indian - "Catfish" who was associated with the same area—now Washington, PA). Van Swearingen bought up claims in his name, his wife s name, and—and apparently several others who may or may not have ever walked on the face of the earth. The Brady family of four survived many perils until Sam's death at age forty-three in 1799.
(See Bald Eagle, Crawford, Girty, Guyasutha, and Lewis Wetzel.)
Brady’s Bend. Clarion County site on the Allegheny River in June 1779 of a fight between Sam Brady and a Delaware war chief (Bald Eagle). The chief was killed and several Indians were injured. Some question the site believing it was more probably on Red Bank Creek (this may be moot, as Red Bank Creek and Brady's Bend are basically the same place). Brady was leading a small ranger unit ahead of Colonel Brodhead when they spotted Indians ahead of them (mostly Seneca and Delaware), Brady's group avoided Bald Eagle's men and ran to the side and disappeared into the woods. Captain Brady allowed the Indians to pass knowing that they would soon meet Brodhead with the major part of his force. He reasoned when they met Brodhead they would retreat up the same path from whence they had come. He placed his men on both sides of a narrow pass on the path and when the Indians retreated as Brady had expected, they walked into a deadly crossfire with many being killed and a number injured. (Although there's no way Brady would have known, but—this same manoeuvre was used by Napoleon in his battle with some Mamelukes some twenty-five years later.) Retreating out of a woods, or swamp using the same path used going in is contrary to basic infantry tactics—and should be avoided (even if you are an experienced fighter). Bald Eagle was killed. Young Cornplanter, the Seneca, was among those in the battle, but he managed to jump in the river and swim to safety.

Brady's Bend - Panorama. Lookout at the marker 1.3 miles up PA 68 above East Brady, Clarion County. Photo by compiler. Enlarged photo
The view from the "lookout" affords the visitor a complete panoramic sight of Brady's Bend. The "bend" is a complete horse-shoe turn by the Allegheny River. "West" Brady is in Armstrong County, while "East" Brady is in Clarion County. The river is the dividing-line. "West" Brady was the home of Brady's Bend Iron Company which was one of the largest iron works of the mid 19th century and the first iron works to make iron rails west of the Alleghenies.
In the current era, East Brady is perhaps best known as the hometown of Hall of Fame football player Jim Kelly (quarterback for Buffalo Bills). The "main street" is "Kelly Way." [58]
Bald Eagle was named as the assassin of James Brady near Williamsport in 1778 and the victim of Brady’s brother (Sam) in June 1779 near Brady’s Bend on the Allegheny River in Clarion County.
Some accounts have Chief Cornplanter of the Senecas as being part of Bald Eagle’s party that killed James Brady. White men on the Monongahela River killed another Bald Eagle in 1779.
When reading of “Bald Eagle”—beware! Bald Eagle and Sam Brady have both taken on near mythical status and the accounts of both are seasoned with both fact and fiction. Some write that after James Brady was scalped by Bald Eagle, Brady lived four or five days before dying and was able to make positive identification as to his assassin. After Sam Brady shot Bald Eagle, he is said to have scalped the Munsee chief.[59]
June 1781: Cornwallis dispatched a 250-man cavalry force commanded by Banastre Tarleton on a secret expedition to capture Governor Jefferson and members of the Assembly at Monticello.[66] Tarleton hoped to surprise Jefferson, but Jack Jouett, a captain in the Virginia militia, thwarted the British plan by warning the governor and members of the Assembly.[67] Jefferson and his family escaped and fled to Poplar Forest, his plantation to the west. Tarleton did not allow looting or destruction at Monticello by his troops.
By contrast, when Lord Cornwallis and his sizeable number of troops later occupied Elkhill, a smaller estate of Jefferson's on the James River in Goochland County, they stripped it of resources and left it in ruins. According to a letter by Jefferson about Elkhill, British troops destroyed all his crops, burned his barns and fences, slaughtered or drove off the livestock, seized usable horses, cut the throats of foals and, after setting fires, left the plantation a waste. They captured 27 slaves and held them as prisoners of war. At least 24 died in the camp of diseases,[68] a chronic problem for prisoners and troops in an era of poor sanitation.
Jefferson believed his gubernatorial term had expired in June, and he spent much of the summer with his family at Poplar Forest.[67] The members of the General Assembly had quickly reconvened in June 1781 in Staunton, Virginia across the Blue Ridge Mountains. They voted to reward Jouett with a pair of pistols and a sword, but considered an official inquiry into Jefferson's actions, as they believed he had failed his responsibilities as governor.
"The inquiry ultimately was dropped, yet Jefferson insisted on appearing before the lawmakers in December to respond to charges of mishandling his duties and abandoning leadership at a critical moment. He reported that he had believed it understood that he was leaving office and that he had discussed with other legislators the advantages of Gen. Thomas Nelson, a commander of the state militia, being appointed governor."[67]
(The legislature did appoint Nelson as governor in late June 1781.)
"Jefferson was a controversial figure at this time, heavily criticized for inaction and failure to adequately protect the state in the face of a British invasion. Even on balance, Jefferson had failed as a state executive, leaving his successor, Thomas Nelson, Jr. to pick up the pieces." [69]
He was not re-elected again to office in Virginia.[58]
Notes on the State of Virginia
Main article: Notes on the State of Virginia
In 1780 Jefferson as governor received numerous questions about Virginia, posed to him by François Barbé-Marbois, then Secretary of the French delegation in Philadelphia, the temporary capital of the united colonies, who intended to gather pertinent data on the American colonies. Jefferson's responses to Marbois' "Queries" would become known as Notes on the State of Virginia (1785). Scientifically trained, Jefferson was a member of the American Philosophical Society, which had been founded in Philadelphia in 1743. He had extensive knowledge of western lands from Virginia to Illinois. In a course of five years, Jefferson enthusiastically devoted his intellectual energy to the book; he included a discussion of contemporary scientific knowledge, and Virginia's history, politics, and ethnography. Jefferson was aided by Thomas Walker, George R. Clark, and U.S. geographer Thomas Hutchins. The book was first published in France in 1785 and in England in 1787.[70]
It has been ranked as the most important American book published before 1800. The book is Jefferson's vigorous and often eloquent argument about the nature of the good society, which he believed was incarnated by Virginia. In it he expressed his beliefs in the separation of church and state, constitutional government, checks and balances, and individual liberty. He also compiled extensive data about the state's natural resources and economy. He wrote extensively about the problems of slavery, miscegenation, and his belief that blacks and whites could not live together as free people in one society.
Member of Congress and Minister to France[edit]
Following its victory in the war and peace treaty with Great Britain, in 1783 the United States formed a Congress of the Confederation (informally called the Continental Congress), to which Jefferson was appointed as a Virginia delegate. As a member of the committee formed to set foreign exchange rates, he recommended that American currency should be based on the decimal system; his plan was adopted. Jefferson also recommended setting up the Committee of the States, to function as the executive arm of Congress. The plan was adopted but failed in practice.
Jefferson was "one of the first statesmen in any part of the world to advocate concrete measures for restricting and eradicating Negro slavery."[71] Jefferson wrote an ordinance banning slavery in all the nation's territories (not just the Northwest), but it failed by one vote. The subsequent Northwest Ordinance prohibited slavery in the newly organized territory, but it did nothing to free slaves who were already held by settlers there; this required later actions. Jefferson was in France when the Northwest Ordinance was passed.[72][60]

June 1783
Month of June. Over ten thousand refugees are going to the newly established colonies of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Moreover, all the light corps and provincial regiments are being sent there, where land is allotted to them for cultivation. It is a very pathetic sight to see so many thousands of honest loyalists depart to that wilderness. Most of them had lived with dignity in this country, and now they must begin again there where their ancestors began.

During the Ameri.can War of Independence troops from var-
ious German territories fought on the British side,
including one unit from Waldeck called the Third English-
Waldeck Mercenary Regiment. All these auxiliary troops
are known under the name "Hessians" because the Land-
gravate of Hesse-Kassel provided the largest contingent
of mercenary units.[64]
June 17, 1783: Lieut. John Crawford’s remaining inheritance of his father’s estate, on the whole, was the bounty lands due his father for his father’s services in the American Revolutionary War. No. 851, and found recorded in the Kentucky L.and Office at Frankfort, Ky. William Crawford, Colonel, 6666 2/3 acres, Va. C.ont. Line. ‘John Crawford, heir at Law’ surveyed June 17, 1783.
June 1786, Nathaniel Greene died at his Georgia home.[65]
June 1791: Louis XVI’s indecisiveness and conservatism led some elements of the people of France eventually to view him as a symbol of the perceived tyranny of the ancien régime, and his popularity deteriorated progressively. His disastrous flight to Varennes in June 1791, four months before the constitutional monarchy was declared, seemed to justify the rumors that the king tied his hopes of political salvation to the prospects of foreign invasion. The credibility of the king was deeply undermined and the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic became an ever increasing possibility. [66]
June 1791
Commonwealth of Virginia)

Frederick County
June Court 1791 Ordered that the Sheriff do pay unto Hannah Crawford one hundred thirty-five pounds. It being the amount of her pension for the last year agreeable to a certificate from the hand and his Excellency the Governor. She having made oath according to law.[67]
Although outwardly accepting the revolution, Louis resisted the advice of constitutional monarchists who sought to reform the monarchy in order to save it; he also permitted the reactionary plotting of his unpopular queen, Marie Antoinette. In October 1789, a mob marched on Versailles and forced the royal couple to move to Tuileries; in June 1791, opposition to the royal pair had become so fierce that the two were forced to flee to Austria. During their trip, Marie and Louis were apprehended at Varennes, France, and carried back to Paris. There, Louis was forced to accept the constitution of 1791, which reduced him to a mere figurehead. [68]
June 1794
Of the building of the first court house, the records give no account. But at the session of court held in October, 1797, an order was passed to repair the court hours—it is supposed that one was built about 1794 (on the land given by Robert Harrison)_--at the session of court held in June of that year, it was “ordered that public building for the county be erected “ The second court house was built in 1816. The plan was supported by a board of commissioners, comprised of Gresham Forrest, William Brown, William Moore, James Kelley and Thomas Holt.[69]
June 1796: Both sides achieved many objectives. The British agreed to vacate the six western forts by June 1796 (which was done), and to compensate American ship owners (the British paid $10,345,200 by 1802).[8] In return, the United States gave most favored nation trading status to Britain, and acquiesced in British anti-French maritime policies. The United States guaranteed the payment of private prewar debts owed by Americans to British merchants that could not be collected in U.S. courts (the U.S. paid £600,000 in 1802).
Two joint boundary commissions were set up to establish the boundary line in the Northeast (it agreed on the Saint Croix River) and in the Northwest (this one never met and the boundary was settled after the War of 1812).[9]
Jay, a strong opponent of slavery, dropped the issue of compensation for slaves, which angered Southern slaveholders. Jay was unsuccessful in negotiating an end to the impressment of American sailors into the Royal Navy, which later became a key issue leading to the War of 1812.
Native American rights
Article III states "It is agreed, that it shall at all times be free to His Majesty's subjects, and to the citizens of the United States, and also to the Indians dwelling on either side of the said boundary line, freely to pass and repass, by land or inland navigation into the respective territories and countries of the two parties on the continent of America, (the country within the limits of the Hudson Bay company only excepted) ... and freely carry on trade and commerce with each other." Article III of the Jay Treaty declared the right of "Indians" ("Native Americans") as well as of American citizens and Canadian subjects to trade and travel between the United States and Canada, which was then a territory of Great Britain.[10] Over the years since, the United States has codified this obligation in the provisions of Section 289 of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, and as amended in 1965. As a result of the Jay Treaty, "Native Indians born in Canada are therefore entitled to enter the United States for the purpose of employment, study, retirement, investing, and/or immigration".[11] Article III of the Jay Treaty is the cause of most Indian claims.[12][70]

Internment camps

Fort Marr Blockhouse in Benton, Tennessee, is the last surviving remnant of the forts used to intern the Cherokee in preparation for their removal to Indian Territory.
The deaths and desertions in the Army's boat detachments caused Gen Scott to suspend the Army's Removal efforts, and the remaining Cherokees were put into eleven internment camps, mostly located near Ross' Landing (now Chattanooga, TN) and at Red Clay, Bedwell Springs, Chatata, Mouse Creek, Rattlesnake Springs, Chestooe, and Calhoun (site of the former Cherokee Agency) located within Bradley County, TN and one camp (Fort Payne) in Alabama.
Cherokees remained in the camps during the summer of 1838 and were plagued by dysentery and other illnesses, which led to 353 deaths. A group of Cherokees petitioned General Scott for a delay until cooler weather made the journey less hazardous. This was granted; meanwhile Chief Ross, finally accepting defeat, managed to have the remainder of the removal turned over to the supervision of the Cherokee Council. Although there were some objections within the U.S. government because of the additional cost, General Scott awarded a contract for removing the remaining 11,000 Cherokees under the supervision of Principal Chief Ross, with expenses to be paid by the Army.
Reluctant removal
Chief John Ross organized 12 wagon trains, each with about 1000 persons and conducted by veteran full-blood tribal leaders or educated mixed bloods. Each wagon train was assigned physicians, interpreters (to help the physicians), commissaries, managers, wagon masters, teamsters, and even grave diggers. Chief Ross also purchased the steamboat "Victoria" in which his own and tribal leaders' families could travel in some comfort. Lewis Ross, the Chief's brother, was the main contractor and furnished forage, rations, and clothing for the wagon trains. Although this arrangement was an improvement for all concerned, disease and exposure still took many lives. This is the part of the Removal usually identified as The "Trail of Tears." [79]

She married LEWIS S. BOWMAN March 10, 1861 in Jackson county, Missouri, son of HIRAM BOWMAN and ISABELL HOBLIT. [87]
June 17, 1991: Almost immediately after his death, rumors began to circulate that Taylor was poisoned by pro-slavery Southerners, and similar theories persisted into the twentieth century.[74] In 1978, Hamilton Smith based his assassination theory on the timing of drugs, the lack of confirmed cholera outbreaks, and other material.[75] In the late 1980s, Clara Rising, a former professor at University of Florida, persuaded Taylor's closest living relative to agree to an exhumation so that his remains could be tested.[76] The remains were exhumed and transported to the Office of the Kentucky Chief Medical Examiner on June 17, 1991. Samples of hair, fingernail, and other tissues were removed, and radiological studies were conducted. The remains were returned to the cemetery and reinterred, with appropriate honors, in the mausoleum.
Neutron activation analysis conducted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory revealed no evidence of poisoning, as arsenic levels were too low.[77][78] The analysis concluded Taylor had contracted "cholera morbus, or acute gastroenteritis", as Washington had open sewers, and his food or drink may have been contaminated. Any potential for recovery was overwhelmed by his doctors, who treated him with "ipecac, calomel, opium and quinine (at 40 grains a whack), and bled and blistered him too."[79] Political scientist Michael Parenti questions the traditional explanation for Taylor's death, and, relying on interviews and reports by forensic pathologists, argues that the procedure used to test for arsenic poisoning was fundamentally flawed.[80][81] A 2010 review concludes: "there is no definitive proof that Taylor was assassinated, nor would it appear that there is definitive proof that he was not."[82]

Official White House portrait of Zachary Taylor
Because of his short tenure, Taylor is not considered to have strongly influenced the office of the Presidency or the U.S.[83] Some historians believe that Taylor was too inexperienced with politics, at a time when officials needed close ties with political operatives.[83] Despite his shortcomings, the Clayton–Bulwer Treaty affecting relations with Great Britain in Central America is "recognized as an important step in scaling down the nation's commitment to Manifest Destiny as a policy."[83]
Taylor was the last President to own slaves while in office. He was the third of four Whig presidents,[f] the last being Fillmore, his successor. Taylor was also the second president to die in office, preceded by William Henry Harrison who died while serving as President nine years earlier, as well as the only President elected from Louisiana.

Goodlove Reunion
Relatives of Goodlove Family Hold Annual Reunion at Ellis Park Sunday, June 17, 1935
Sunday, June 17, at Ellis Park, Cedar Rapids, was held the third annual reunion of the Goodlove family.
More than 40 of the members of the family were present to enjoy the day together, and all were related—children and grandchildren of William and Catherine Goodlove , who were residents of the vicinity.
It was decided to hold the reunion again next year.
Those present were; Willis Goodlove, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wilkinson, and Nellie, Earl Goodlove, Winifred, Cecil Billy and Jeanette, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Bowdish, Catherine and Albert, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Armstrong, Gale and Leora, Mrs. Hillis Armstrong and son, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Story and children, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Miller and baby, Mr. and Mrs. Covert Goodlove and children, Mr. and Mrs. Don Goodlove and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Henderson and family.[89]

June 17, 1954: Braten Levi Smith (b. February 26, 1874 in GA / d. June 17, 1954).[92]
On June 17, 1991, Taylor's remains were exhumed and transported to the Office of the Kentucky Chief Medical Examiner, where radiological studies were conducted and samples of hair, fingernail and other tissues were removed. The remains were then returned to the cemetery and received appropriate honors at reinterment. He was reinterred in the same mausoleum he had been in since 1926. A monolith was constructed next to the mauseoleum later on. Neutron activation analysis conducted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory revealed arsenic levels several hundred times lower than they would have been if Taylor had been poisoned.
Despite these findings, assassination theories have not been entirely put to rest. Michael Parenti devoted a chapter in his controversial 1999 book History as Mystery to "The Strange Death of Zachary Taylor", speculating that Taylor was assassinated and that his autopsy was botched. It is suspected that Taylor was deliberately assassinated by arsenic poisoning from one of the citizen-provided dishes he sampled during the Independence Day celebration.
Personal life
In 1810 Taylor wed Margaret Smith, and they would have six children of whom the only son, Richard, would become a lieutenant general in the Confederate Army. One of Taylor's daughters, Sarah Knox Taylor, decided to marry in 1835 Jefferson Davis, the future President of the Confederate States of America, who at that time was a lieutenant. Taylor did not wish Sarah to marry him, and Taylor and Davis would not be reconciled until 1847 at the Battle of Buena Vista, where Davis distinguished himself as a colonel. Sarah had died in 1835, three months into the marriage. Around 1841, Taylor established a home at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and gained a large plantation and a great number of slaves.
Taylor's son, Richard, became a Confederate Lieutenant General, while his daughter, Sarah Knox Taylor (1814–1835), married future Confederate President Jefferson Davis three months before her death of malaria.
Taylor's brother, Joseph Pannill Taylor, was a Brigadier General in the Union Army during the Civil War. (Joseph P. Taylor's son Joseph Hancock Taylor was a US Colonel in the Civil War and was also a son-in-law of Union General Montgomery C. Meigs).
Taylor's niece, Emily Ellison Taylor, was the wife of Confederate General Lafayette McLaws.
Ann Taylor's son, John Taylor Wood, a U.S. Navy officer, defected to the Confederate side and later fled to Canada during the Civil War; his great-grandson, Zachary Taylor Wood, was Acting RCMP Commissioner, great-grandson Lieutenant Charles Carroll Wood died from wounds suffered during the Anglo Boer War, great-great-grandson Stuart Taylor Wood was Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and great-great-great-grandsons (Cst. Herschel Wood and Supt. (Ret) John Taylor Wood served in the RCMP.
American military leader and the twelfth President of the United States.
Known as "Old Rough and Ready", Taylor had a 40-year military career in the U.S. Army, serving in the War of 1812, Black Hawk War, and Second Seminole War before achieving fame leading U.S. troops to victory at several critical battles of the Mexican-American War. A Southern slaveholder who opposed the spread of slavery to the territories, he was uninterested in politics but was recruited by the Whig Party as their nominee in the 1848 presidential election.
In the election, Taylor defeated the Democratic nominee, Lewis Cass, and became the first U.S. president never to hold any previous elected office. Taylor was also the last southerner to be elected president until Woodrow Wilson. As president, Taylor urged settlers in New Mexico and California to bypass the territorial stage and draft constitutions for statehood, setting the stage for the Compromise of 1850.
Taylor died of acute gastroenteritis just 16 months into his term. Vice President Millard Fillmore then became President.
On June 17, 1991, Taylor's remains were exhumed and transported to the Office of the Kentucky Chief Medical Examiner, where radiological studies were conducted and samples of hair, fingernail and other tissues were removed. The remains were then returned to the cemetery and received appropriate honors at reinterment. Neutron activation analysis conducted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory revealed traces of arsenic at levels several hundred times less than necessary for poisoning to have occurred.
Despite these findings, assassination theories have not been entirely put to rest. Michael Parenti devoted a chapter in his controversial 1999 book History as Mystery to "The Strange Death of Zachary Taylor", speculating that Taylor was assassinated and that his autopsy was botched. It is suspected that Taylor was deliberately assassinated by arsenic poisoning from one of the citizen-provided dishes he sampled during the Independence Day celebration.[93]

[14] According to the family records of this line and legal documents, concerning Hugh Stephenson’s Land Bounty Warrant of 6,666 2/3 acres, granted to him for his services in the Revolutionary War. (the land lying and being in the County of Franklin, State of Ohio); Col. Hugh Stephenson was not married to his wife until just before his youngest son was born. (Richard born about 1777). Thus, rendering the disgrace of illegitimacy on his first five children. This may have been factual where the laws of Church and State are concerned (Church of England), however, a notation should be taken. According to those laws, any couple living in Virginia, married outside the church and its order, just was not considered married. Anyone stopping short of further research of the Church of England, would believe this to be true. Since Col. William Crawford (Hugh’s half-brother) and his second wife, Hannah Vance, were married in Chambersburg, Penn., January 5th, 1744, proves that other members of the Crawford and Stephenson clans were a challenge to the Church of England. This would lead us to believe that Hugh Stephenson and Ann Whaley were married first, outside of the Colony of Virginia and the Church of England, with the first marriage being considered null and void in the territory wherein they lived.

Alexander Adolf August Karl von Linsingen (1850-1935) was one of the best German field commanders during World War I.
Linsingen joined the Prussian Army in 1868 and rose to Corps Commander in 1909. He was one of the very few top German generals not to have served on the general staff.
At the beginning of World War I, Linsingen was a Corps commander in the First Battle of the Marne. Transferred to the Eastern Front where German and Austrian armies were threatened by a Russian offensive in Galicia, Linsingen took command of Army Group South (1915). He defeated the Russian armies in the Battle of Stryi in 1915, capturing 60,000 Russian prisoners. He was awarded the Pour le Mérite. In 1916 he faced the Brusilov offensive. After an initial retreat, he checked the Russian advance near Kovel. He was promoted to Colonel-General, the highest rank for a general in the German Army. In 1917-1918 he led the German offense to Ukraine. After the end of the war with Russia, he became the Military Governor of Berlin (1918). Under the Nazis, outraged by their racist policies, Linsingen who was a Christian but of Jewish descent, demonstratively joined the Union of Jewish War Veterans. Alexander von Linsingen died on June 5, 1935 and is interned at the Neuen St. Nikolai-Friedhof in Hannover, Germany.

[55] Articles of Confederation. (1781-1788). The United States Constitution was first drafted in 1775 by Benjamin Franklin and then a series of drafts by Silas Deane of CT and others until John Dickinson of PA in June 1776 drafted one that with alterations was presented to the colonies for approval. The Articles were not approved until March 1, 1781. The major hang-up was ownership of the land west of the Alleghenies. Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Massachusetts all claimed their territory extended to the Mississippi River and beyond. Charters of PA, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and Rhode Island limited their western borders to a few hundred miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean. The logjam was broken when Thomas Jefferson persuaded his fellow Virginians to forfeit their demands and to accept the west to be divided into states and brought into the United States on an equal basis as the original thirteen. The land speculators would be cut out of the deal—and the sale of the western land could be used to pay the war debts owed to other countries, war veterans, local suppliers, etc. Representatives to the Congress elected a new president each year with three Pennsylvanians serving—Thomas Mifflin, Arthur St. Clair, and Thomas McKean.
As might be expected, taxes were a central problem. Some representatives wanted taxes to be apportioned on a "per capita" basis. The southern states rejected a count that would include Blacks. With a war going on, the question of the slave trade and fugitive runaways was placed on the back-burner. The rebels needed money and fell to gathering it on the value of land and improvements. The slave problem would have to wait.
The Confederation had a unicameral congress with each state having one vote. Delegates were elected by the state legislatures. People and trade could move across state lines without interference. All states needed to agree to important actions; such as, declaring war, making treaties, introduction of amendments—with simple majorities required of lesser items. Wartime problems of gaining acceptance of foreign countries and borrowing money persuaded many that a loose confederation could not satisfy the needs of a people determined to be an equal among the nations of the world.
The Articles were in effect from 1781 to 1787 when they were rejected in favor of a new Constitution for the United States.
