June 25, 1586, was written word for word from a draft sent ready

made by Morgan. He adds that this draft, as well as the letter

from Morgan accompanying it, would be found among Curie's

Notes

From http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hughestree&id=I1525

Little is known of Mary Johnson Ball, the mother of Mary Ball, other than the fact of her English birth and the supposition that she was descended from the Montagues. She was a widow with two children, Elizabeth and John Johnson, when she became housekeeper for Joseph Ball. Many are the romantic fancies that have been woven about her name without the least fact to support them. That she was good and true and worthy to be the mother of such a woman as Mary Ball Washington and the grandmother of such a hero as General Washington is sufficient for us. Her name will live when many of royal blood are forgotten.

After the death of Mr. Ball, Mary Johnson Ball became the wife of Captain Richard Hewes, a vestrynam of St Stephen's parish, Northumberland, and removed to this parish with her three children, John and Elizabeth Johnson, and Mary Ball, who had not reached her fifth birthday. Captain Hewes died in 1713, and she followed him to the other world when Mary Ball was but thirteen.[8]

June 25, 1754: Washington clears a road toward Redstone

On June 21, 1754, or sometime between that date and June 25, Washington wrote in his journal

about clearing a road to Redstone, and giving misleading information to Indian spies. His journal

reads as follows:

As those Indians, who were spies sent by the French, were very inquisitive, and asked us

many questions in order to learn by what way we proposed to go to the Fort, and at what

time we expected to arrive there, I left off working any further on our road, and told them

we intended to continue it through the woods as far as the Fort, felling the trees, etc. That

we were waiting here for reinforcements which were coming to us, our artillery, and our

wagons to accompany us there, but as soon as they were gone I set about marking out

and clearing a road towards Red-Stone.



As previously noted, his actual intent was to transport the artillery by water when it became

convenient to attack Fort Duquesne.[9]



On June 25, 1754, "George Godlip" was granted 25 acres in Lancaster Co., PA by the Penn family, owners of Pennsylvania.[10] PENNSYLVANIA records of June 25, 1754 indicate that a George Gotlieb received a warrant for 25 acres in Lancaster Co. He received another warrant on May 29, 1755 for 20 acres and on March 3, 1756 he enlisted in Major James Burd's Co., First Regiment of Foot, to serve in the French and Indian War. This information is from PA. Archives Ser. 5, Vol. 1, pp. 60, 61, 78, which gives the muster rolls for Burd's company. It contains the following information: George Gotlieb, age 45, place of birth, Germany, rank Sergeant. Two different muster rolls list his name as Gotlieb and alternately as Gotlip. Burd, very considerately, also kept a detailed journal (some of which is reprinted in the PA. Archives, Ser. 2, Vol II, pp. 641-661,) which tells us that the regiment arrived at Fort Augusta (PA) on December 8, 1756 to complete construction on the fort. (This fort is located on the north fork of the Susquehanna River in Northumberland County just in the present town of Sunbury, PA). It was a tough winter, and Burd was beset with many difficulties, including delayed payments to his troops (along with the threat of Indian attacks, snow, cold, illness and resulting desertions). On March 7, 1757 he delivered a pep talk to the troops in which he berated some for their complaining and extolled the virtues of a few loyal determined souls who did their job without complaint. Among the latter, he cited Sergeant George Gotlieb for continuing duty beyond the date of his required enlistment. Not all of Burd's journal is included, but in that which is published, I find no further mention of George Gotlieb; however, on March 2, 1757, William Denny, Governor of Pensylvania sent notification to Col. Burd that he was to limit all enrollments to three-year enlistments and that he was not to enroll any men older than age thirty-five. Obviously, George was way over the age limit, so perhaps, this would have been the reason for end of his military duties.[11]



June 25, 1755: Marching north with his 2400 man army, the 60 year old Braddock was under orders to capture Fort Duquesne and force the French from the Upper Ohio Valley.[12]



June 25, 1777: The Americans were attacked by the Hessian grenadiers with bayonet and drove them back. Nicolaus with his grenadier comrades greatly
distinguished themselves, taking from the Americans three Hessian
guns that were captured at Trenton in December.[13]

June 25, 1782

The council lasted fifteen days; fifty to one hundred warriors being usually in council, and sometimes more. Every warrior is admitted to these councils; but only the chiefs or head warrionrs have the privilege of speaking. The head warriors are accounted such from the number of scalps and prisoners they have taken.[19]



June 25, 1788

Virginia becomes the tenth state to ratify the Constitution.[20]

June 25, 1791: While the National Assembly worked painstakingly towards a constitution, Louis and Marie-Antoinette were involved in plans of their own. Louis had appointed the baron de Breteuil to act as plenipotentiary, dealing with other foreign heads of state in an attempt to bring about a counter-revolution. Louis himself held reservations against depending on foreign assistance. Like his mother and father, Louis thought that the Austrians were treacherous and the Prussians were overly ambitious.[33] As tensions in Paris rose and Louis was pressured to accept measures from the Assembly against his will, the King and Queen plotted to secretly escape from France. Beyond escape, they hoped to raise an "armed congress" with the help of the émigrés who had fled, as well as assistance from other nations, with which they could return and, in essence, recapture France. This degree of planning reveals Louis’ political determination; unfortunately it was for this determined plot that he was eventually convicted of high treason.[34] However, his indecision and misunderstanding of France were responsible for the failure of the escape. The royal family was arrested at Varennes-en-Argonne shortly after Jean-Baptiste Drouet, who recognised the king from his profile on paper money, had given the alert. Louis XVI and his family were brought back to Paris where they arrived on June 25. Viewed suspiciously as traitors, they were placed under tight house arrest upon their return to the Tuileries.

At the microscopic level, the failure of the escape plans were due to a series of misadventures, delays, misinterpretations, and poor judgments.[35] In a wider perspective, the failure was due to the king's indecision-- he repeatedly postponed the schedule, allowing for smaller problems to become severe. Furthermore, he totally misunderstood the political situation. He thought only a small number of radicals in Paris were promoting a revolution that the people as a whole rejected. He thought, mistakenly, that he was beloved by the peasants and the common folk.[36] The king's flight in the short term was traumatic for France, inciting a wave of emotion that ranged from anxiety to violence to panic. Everyone realized that war was imminent. The deeper realization that the King had in fact repudiated the revolution, was an even greater shock for people who until then had seen him as a good king who governed as a manifestation of God's will. They felt betrayed. Republicanism now burst out of the coffee houses and became a dominating philosophy of the rapidly radicalized French revolution.[37]

Intervention by foreign powers

The return of the royal family to Paris on June 25, 1791, coloured copperplate after a drawing of Jean-Louis Prieur

The other monarchies of Europe looked with concern upon the developments in France, and considered whether they should intervene, either in support of Louis or to take advantage of the chaos in France. The key figure was Marie Antoinette's brother, the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold II. Initially, he had looked on the revolution with equanimity. However, he became more and more disturbed as it became more and more radical. Despite this, he still hoped to avoid war. [21]

June 25, 1816: Brackenridge. Hugh Henry Brackenridge. (1745-1816). Born in Scotland and came to the colonies when five years old with his parents. They farmed in York County, PA near the MD border. Graduated from the College of New Jersey at Princeton with classmates James Madison, Aaron Burr, Henry Lee, Gunning Bedford, Philip Freneau and others in 1774 (some say 1771). He and his friend James Madison (and probably Freneau) collaborated in writing the commencement poem (The Rising Glory of America) at Princeton.

Although not an ordained minister, Brackenridge served as an army chaplain during the Revolutionary War. Later he studied law in Philadelphia (some say Annapolis, MD). After passing the Bar he moved to Pittsburgh. Besides being a lawyer, he was a writer, state legislator, and state Supreme Court justice in 1800. His personal connections and writing did much to promote Western PA on the colonial scene. His most noted writing was the book, Modern Chivalry, which satirized backwoods excesses and contradictions in popular sovereignty. His humor and wholesale use of frontier vernacular made his writings immensely popular. He was a combination democrat and pacifist who was perhaps the chief arbitrator between the two sides during the Whiskey Rebellion. It was during the conflict over excise taxes that Brackenridge found himself objecting to the tax, while simultaneously defending the primacy of the federal government in enacting such measures. He was the "man-in-the-middle" with both sides wanting him hung at the gallows. Brackenridge and John Neville were political, and perhaps personal, enemies. Neville is believed to have aimed federal actions against Brackenridge during the insurrection for reasons unrelated to the rebellion actions of the writer/lawyer. After a long deposition-type interview by Alexander Hamilton of Brackenridge, the Secretary of the Treasury later hinted of his belief that the Whiskey Rebellion was a local political dispute being disguised as a rebellion against federal authority.

Brackenridge died in Carlisle, PA June 25, 1816.

Lee acquitted himself well, and remained in field command for the duration of the war under the direction of Jefferson Davis. Union troops remained on the Lower Peninsula and at Fortress Monroe, which became a terminus on the Underground Railroad, and the site terming escaped slaves as "contribands", no longer returned to their rebel owners.

--XXVb-39, a document from the Hauptverkehrsdirektion (German office of rail transport), signed “Never”, giving the itinerary and time schedule of the French part of the trip of the special convoy of workers for Auschwitz: Le Borget, 8:55 AM; Bobigny, 9:20 AM; Noisy-le-Sec, 9:30 AM; Epernay, 1:14/1:47 PM; Chalons-sur-Marne, 2:36/2:42 PM: Bar-le-Duic 5:05/5:17 PM; Lerinville 6:39/ 6:44 PM; Neuburg (Mosel) 7:57/8:20 PM.



A non-Jewish French woman named Alice Courouble was arrested for having worn the yellow star in defiance of German ordinances. She was interned in the camp of “Les Toruelles.” In her book “Amie des Juifs” she bears witness to the conditions of the departure from Les Tourelles of the first 66 women to be deported from France (pp.-41):



“We were eating in the cafeteria. A brief command: ‘Everyone outside.’ Under the chestnut trees, we spied three German officers.

“Another order: ‘All Jews ages 18 to 42 in one line!’ Then a moment later: ‘Turn around, face the courtyard! The others, get back inside!’

]”It all happened so quickly, I was so taken aback that I cannot even tell which voice gave the order and who was repeating them.

“Go up to your rooms immediately,’ whispers Gaby/. Very moved, but still courageous, whe walks around trying to maintain order.

“Once upstairs, the police lieutenant enters.

“The women are going to cross this dormitory. Not one cry, not one word, not a single sign, not a move! The first one to move will have to join them and leave with them. Understood?’

“A scraping of steps, the door opens. One policeman, two policemen, still others. They form a line from one door to the other. The first one opens the back door. A large empty room appears. Not a bed, not a chair.

“The sacrificial coluimn passes. Our silence makes for a wall between us. They are all calm: Sonia, Raya, blond Helene, a mother, a daughter… We cry, stifling our sighs; we dare not even wipe our tears.

“The door closes, the policeman remains in front.

“For three days and three nights, we will have a policeman guarding our dormitory, and another one at the door.

For dressing and undressing it’;s quite embarrassing.

“The first night, it was a whole patrol of policemen who spoke loudly and carried electric lamps, breaking up the floor with their naliled shoes.

“During the day, the mothers, the friends all came carrying plates of biscuits, bread and butter, begging to policeman: ‘Sir, Sir, be kind… Sir, you are a good man…’

“Madame, I am not allowed, the orders are very strict, you are going to have me punished…’

“He was pale, he was beginning to think that they had given him a strange job. Altogether, the policemen didn’t seem so proud!

“The mothers, on their knees, their lips to the lock or the wood of the door called to their enclosed daughters: ‘My daughter, my little girl, my Helen…’ From the other side came the sharp or hoarse voices: Mother, my dear little mother…’ Young women, still almost girls, cried for their mothers, who , still young, were part of the large group. On a bed, near the door, a small and very fat woman fell into nervous hysteria. She groaned rehythmically, with a voice like a man, serious and husky with pain. She lay like a rag and no one succeeded in comforting her.

“Her daughter was blond, very pretty, with long white earrings. When the door opened, one could see the young girl and her long earrings.

“In the narrow cleft of light, a multitude of faces, of brunettes, or blonds, open mouths, cried, called, held out their hands imploring. Impossible to tell which hand belonged to which face. A human entanglement, a chorus of begging calls. ‘Water!’ ‘Call my mother! ‘Tell Ginette to come!’ ‘Give me my handbag, quickly! Oh, hurry up!’ The worried policeman pulled the door closed. The Dante like vision faded away.

“An unbearable infection overtook the isolation chamber. They had been closed in with large pots and tubs of water. There were 70 of them.

“in THE MORNING, I STOOD ON LINE IN THE VILLAGE,’ AND SAW TWO MEN PASS, PRISONERS FROM ACROSS, WITH THE POLICEMEN. They came down a little later, carrying on two sticks three awful pots, smelling, overflowing, in which paper was swimming. I stood against the wall forbidding myself to be disgusted as their instruments of hiumiliation went by. I can still see our beautiful ‘countess.’ She was there, too. She made no sign, but she was looking, her eyes wide open and her face swimming with tears.

“In order to permit them to wash, they were brought down, well guarded, to the taps on the ground floor. Just before, a heavy whistle sent us upstairs to the first floor dormitory. When we were all inside, we heard an enormous key turn in the lock; heavy bars fell against the doors; we were locked in. The cursed cattle could go through, they would not find a sympathetic soul on their way. This ban on seeing them made us feel as if they were already dead.

“Sunday morning, aqt 5:00 AM, the droning of the bus motors awakened us. My friends rushed to the windows. It was the departure for the first step, Drancy. The bus headlights swept the ceiling and gave off an intermittent light.

“I did not go to look. I was too saddened.

“Suddenly, outside, two or three voices sang the ‘Marseillaise.’ Little by little, others followed. In our room, sobs replied.” [37]



June 25, 1941: Baranovichi is a city in the Brest Province of western Belarus. Soon after the beginning of World War II the town was occupied by the Soviet Union. The local Jewish population of 9,000 was joined by approximately 3,000 Jewish refugees from the Polish areas occupied by Germany. After the start of Operation Barbarossa the town was seized by the Wehrmacht on June 25, 1941. In August of the same year a ghetto was created in the town, with more than 12,000 Jews kept in tragic conditions in six buildings at the outskirts. Between March 4 and December 14, 1942, the entire Jewish population of the ghetto was sent to various German concentration camps and killed in gas chambers. Only approximately 250 survived the war.

Convoy 4, June 25, 1942.



Abram Gotlib born July 4, 1915 from Varsovie (Warsaw, Poland) was on Convoy 4. [39]



This convoy, which left from Pityhiviers was exclusively male, like the first two convoys. Among the 999 men that the Germans listed according to nationality, there were 937 Poles, 20 Germans, 20 Czechs, 5 Russians, 1 Austrian, 1 stateless, and 8 undetermined.



The men’s ages vary from 20 top 54, with the majority (795) between ages 31 and 42.



The list is extremely difficult to decipher. It shows family name, first name, date and place of birth, family status, nationality, profession and address.



The addresses indicate that all were living in or afoutne Paris, as in the two preceding convoys (mainly from working class neighborhoods, the 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 18th, 19th, and 20th districts). And, like those in the two preceding convoys, they were arrested during the operations of May and August, 1941.



The list was signed on June 22nd, 1942, by the Commandant of the Pithiviers camp, with two amendments dated June 24, concerning the replacement of 5 men.



Certain Gestapo documents concern this convoy: XXVI-31 of June 16; XXVb-38 of June 17 and 18; XXVb-40 of June 25, which was the telex of the SiPo=SD Kommando of Orleans addressed to the anti-Jewish section IV J of the Gestapo in Paris, announcing that the list of 1,000 Jewish men was sent to IV J. Document XXVI-35 of June 19 gives the schedule for the train: Pithiviers, 6:15 AM; Troyes, 11:35 AM; St-Dizier, 3:14 PM; Revigny, 4:29 PM.



The routine telex, sent on June 25 to Eichmann in Berlin, to the Inspector for Concentration Camps at Oranienburg, and to the Commandant at Auschwitz, shows that the convoy did leave Pithiviers at 6:15 AM as predicted on e week earlier. The telex indicates that there were 1,000 Jews and that the “head of the convoy” (Transportfuhrer) to Neuberg (on the border) was Lieut. Kleinschmidt.



When they arrived in Auschwitz, on June 27, the 1,000 deportees received numbers 41773 to 42772. On August 15, seven weeks later, 557 were still alive. Forty-Five percent had died, as compared to ythe 80% for the preceding convoy. Two factors expolain this considerable differencd. First, the average age on this convoy was five years less than the preceding two. Second, more than 90% of the deportees were of Polish origin and better able to resist the terrible conditions in the Polish camp of Auschwitz than, for example, were the 435 French Jews of Convoy #3, which had left just three days earlier.



To the best of our knowledge, 59 survivors returned in 1945.[40]
