May 31, 1279 BCE: Ramses II (The Great) (19th dynasty) becomes pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. If you accept the contention that Moses lived from 1391–1271 BCE, Ramses would be the Pharaoh who came to power after the Exodus. During his reign he reasserted Egyptian power over the area that would have included Canaan during the period of the Judges. However, the Bible talks about the Canaanite tribes and Philistines as being the Israelites’ enemies and not the Egyptians.
1275 B.C.E.: This particular scene is on the outer western wall of the Cour de la Cachette. † The wall itself was originally about 158 feet long and 30 feet high and is composed of blocks about 50 to 63 inches long and 40 inches high. Time, unfortunately, has not been kind to the sculptors who created this monument. Except at the extreme left (north) end, the top of the wall is missing. Three scenes at the right (as one faces the wall) are no longer in place. The Romans took down the blocks forming these scenes, in order to widen the gateway to the right when they removed from Karnak the obelisk now in the Lateran Square in Rome. Sometime after the advent of Christianity, Egyptian Copts built their own structures against the wall and pulled out stones so that the holes thereby created in the wall would support sections of their buildings. Stones from the destroyed scenes of the wall are still strewn about in a field nearby. Fortunately, some of these blocks can be identified with particular locations in the wall. †
Near the left side of the wall, between two short engaged pillars that extend several inches from the wall, is a long hieroglyphic text—the text of the Peace Treaty that followed the great battle of Kadesh, on the Orontes in northern Syria in 1275 B.C.E., between Ramesses II and the Hittite army led by Muwatallis.
1274 B.C.E.With Hatusa’s defense in a state of readiness Prince Atusily’s left the city in the year 1274 B.C.E. Appointed commander and Chief of the Hittite army, he set off to face Ramses, the most powerful ruler of the ancient world. At the border town of Kadesh the two armies prepared to clash. Egyptian temples claim Ramses won a magnificent battle. When Hatusa’s was discovered it was found that the Hittite records indicate that they were the victors.
1265 B.C.E: Prince Atusili seized the throne from his unpopular nephew King Mutually.
Hittites were known as the people of a thousand God’s. They were also known as the people of a thousand laws.
Atusili and Tutahephop construct an open air sancuary of Husicalaya. The whole sanctuary is dedicated to the storm god. It is a procession of all the gods and godesses to a central figure, the storm god. This is a new pantheon. This is a new god brought This is a new god that Tutahephop, Atulili III’ wife brought from Selicia, south of the empire when she came to marry the king. Tutahephop attemted to unify the empires thousand gods into groups of similar gods. It seemed to be an attempt to unify the empire, but other groups seemed to be pulling it apart.
1263 BC: It is from here around the year 1263 BC the story of the Exodus in the Bible probably took place.
1258 B.C.E.: The treaty of Kadesh was written sixteen years after the battle between the Hittites and the Egyptians and brought peace between the two superpowers of the day.
Concluded in the 21st year of Ramesses II’s reign (1258 B.C.E.), the Treaty misled earlier scholars into thinking that the four battle scenes, two on each side of the treaty, related to Ramesses II. Although reliefs depicting the battle of Kadesh once stood to the left of the Treaty, they were largely, though imperfectly, erased at some time before Merenptah’s battle reliefs were carved. Who erased the Kadesh reliefs is not known, but it is possible that Ramesses II felt that the commemoration of the battle was inappropriate beside the Peace Treaty and therefore ordered his own relief erased.
To the left of the Peace Treaty text are two battle scenes; to the right, two more. Then, farther to the right are—or were—six more scenes (two of the scenes at the far right are completely gone and must be entirely reconstructed, in part from blocks in the nearby field). The four battle scenes seem to frame the Peace Treaty, two on each side. To the right of these four battle scenes are other scenes that progress from left to right—the binding of prisoners, the collecting of prisoners, marching prisoners off to Egypt, presenting the prisoners to the god Amun, Amun presenting the sword of victory to the king (moving right to left) and finally a large-scale triumphal scene. The scenes stand in two registers, or rows, one above the other, except for the large triumphal scene at the right, which extended all the way from the top to the bottom of the wall. Each of the scenes also contains hieroglyphic inscriptions.
One of the things that especially interested me in the inscriptions was the cartouches—those oblong rings tied at the bottom that enclose the fourth and fifth names of the pharaoh. Both in the reliefs on the wall and on the loose blocks from these reliefs scattered about, all of the names in the cartouches had been usurped—that is, they had been partially erased and recarved with the names of a later king.
c. 1250
After 1500, contemporaneously with the migrations of the Arameans into that region the Israelite tribes advanced into Palestine C. 1250, under the leadership of Moses, some of the tribes left Egypt (God’s revelation on Mr. Sinai: the pact between God and the chosen Israilite tribes; Jehova the only Lord; the Ark of the Covenant the Ark of the Covenant the focal point of the religious life). Ties were established with the tribes already in Palestine.
1250 BCE: Pinchas earned the kehuna/priesthood, identified as Eliyahu Navi.

Shemot - Exodus
May 31, 1367:
John (Robert III) joined his father and other magnates in a rebellion against his grand-uncle, David II early in 1363 but submitted to him soon afterwards. He married Anabella Drummond, daughter of Sir John Drummond of Stobhall before May 31, 1367 when the Steward ceded to him the earldom of Atholl. In 1368 David created him Earl of Carrick. His father became king in 1371 after the unexpected death of the childless King David. In the succeeding years Carrick was influential in the government of the kingdom but became progressively more impatient at his father's longevity. In 1384 Carrick was appointed the king's lieutenant after having influenced the general council to remove Robert II from direct rule. Carrick's administration saw a renewal of the conflict with England. In 1388 the Scots defeated the English at the Battle of Otterburn where the Scots' commander, James, Earl of Douglas, was killed. By this time Carrick had been badly injured by a horse-kick but the loss of his powerful ally, Douglas, saw a turnaround in magnate support in favour of his younger brother Robert, Earl of Fife and in December 1388 the council transferred the lieutenancy to Fife.
In 1390, Robert II died and Carrick ascended the throne as Robert III but without authority to rule directly.
Blason of John, Earl of Carrick
These nobles were also unhappy at the king's squandering of funds provided to him for his ransom[3] and with the prospect that they could be sent to England as guarantors for the ransom payments. The dissension between the king and the Stewarts looked to have been settled before the end of spring 1367. On May 31 the Steward gave the earldom of Atholl to John, who by this time was already married to Annabella Drummond, the daughter of the queen's deceased brother, Sir John Drummond and (probably) Mary, heir of William Montefichet, lord of Auchterarder.[4]
May 31, 1443: Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond and Derby
Lady Margaret Beaufort
Born May 31, 1443
Bletsoe Castle, Bedfordshire, England
Margaret Beaufort (usually pronounced: /ˈboʊfərt/, BOH-fərt; or /ˈbjuːfərt/, BEW-fərt), Countess of Richmond and Derby (May 31, 1443 – June 29 1509) was the mother of King Henry VII and paternal grandmother of King Henry VIII of England. She was a key figure in the Wars of the Roses and an influential matriarch of the House of Tudor. She founded two Cambridge colleges.
Contents
Early life
Margaret was born at Bletsoe Castle, Bedfordshire, on May 31, 1443 or 1441. The date and month are not disputed, as she required Westminster Abbey to celebrate her birthday on May 31. The year of her birth is more uncertain. William Dugdale, the 17th century antiquary, has suggested that she may have been born in 1441; this suggestion is based on evidence of inquisitions taken at the death of Margaret's father. Dugdale has been followed by a number of Margaret's biographers; however, it is more likely that she was born in 1443, as in May 1443, her father had negotiated with the King about the wardship of his unborn child in case he died on a campaign.[1]
She was the daughter of Margaret Beauchamp of Bletsoe and John Beaufort, 1st Duke of Somerset. Margaret's father was a great-grandson of King Edward III through his third-surviving son, John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. At the moment of her birth, Margaret's father was preparing to go to France and lead an important military expedition for King Henry VI. Somerset negotiated with the king to ensure that, in case of his death, the rights to Margaret's wardship and marriage would belong only to his wife. Somerset fell out with the king after coming back from France, however, and he was banished from the court and was about to be charged with treason. He died shortly afterwards. According to Thomas Basin, Somerset died of illness, but the Crowland Chronicle reported that his death was suicide. Margaret, as his only child, was the heiress to his fortunes.[2]
On Margaret's first birthday, the King broke his arrangement with Margaret's father and gave her wardship to William de la Pole, 1st Duke of Suffolk, although Margaret remained with her mother. Margaret's mother was pregnant at the time of Somerset's death, but her sibling did not survive and Margaret remained sole heir.[3] Although she was her father's only legitimate child, Margaret had two half-brothers and three half-sisters from her mother's first marriage, whom she supported after her son's accession.[4]

Lady Cecily Neville, Duchess of York (May 3, 1415 – May 31, 1495)[1] was the wife of Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York, and the mother of two Kings of England, Edward IV and Richard III. Lady Cecily was called "the Rose of Raby", because she was born at Raby Castle in Durham, and "Proud Cis", because of her pride and a temper that went with it. Historically she is also known for her piety. She herself signed her name "Cecylle".
Family
Lady Cecily Neville was a daughter of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland, and Lady Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland. Her paternal grandparents were John Neville, 3rd Baron Neville de Raby and Hon. Maud Percy, daughter of Henry de Percy, 2nd Baron Percy. Her maternal grandparents were John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster, and Katherine Swynford. John of Gaunt was the third surviving son of Edward III of England and Philippa of Hainault. By her mother, Lady Cecily was a niece of King Henry IV of England.
She was the aunt of Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick, one of the leading peers and military commanders of his generation, a grand-aunt of queen consort Anne Neville, and a great-great-grand-aunt of queen consort Catherine Parr, sixth wife of her great-grandson, King Henry VIII.
Lady Cecily died on May 31, 1495 and was buried in the tomb with her husband Richard and their son Edmund at the Church of St Mary and All Saints, Fotheringhay, Northamptonshire, with a papal indulgence. All subsequent English monarchs, beginning with Henry VIII, are descendants of Elizabeth of York, and therefore of Cecily Neville.

May 31, 1586: To Monsieur de Chateauneuf.
From Chartley, the 31st May, 1586.
Mr. Ambassador, — It not having been in my power to have the whole decipher of yours of the 10th of April before the departure of the person who brought them to me, I was obliged to defer replying to them until now. Your others, of the last of the same month having been since delivered to me, I have received all the old packets delivered to this gentleman,* who has discharged himself faithfully and carefully ; but there are still others in the hands of some who were accustomed to serve me, before my change, at Tutbury, which I shall give orders to be carried to you, in order that they may be sent to me by this conveyance, as I do not wish to commit or risk them to other than you and those who at present conduct it. I should find it very convenient to remove the covers from the secret packets to reduce them to smaller bundles, as you have latterly done, were it not that, in so doing, I could not very often know the conveyances and directions by which they were sent to me, and to whom I should send the reply ; which you can judge relates to the safety of those who have written to me, some being for committal to the fidelity of him who would not suffer it to be
known to any other that they have correspondence with me.
I should desire very much to know if you have yet recovered any means of writing secretly to Scotland, so that I might appoint you there some correspondence for the King of France your master, and for myself, according as events in it mio'ht hereafter occur. As for the messao:e of the Countess of Shrewsbury, I consider it to be a mere trick to dis-
cover indirectly if you have secret correspondence with me, whether you take upon you to write to me the said message, which they might very well think that you would impart to me by the means of Mr. Walsingham, or whether you return other answer from me, which they will see equally well that you have not had by the ordinary conveyance. And, therefore, I am of opinion that if they urge farther upon you this reconciliation, you will only reply that, such great and serious causes of enmity having passed between the said countess and me, you would not undertake to speak to me of reconciliation without a very solid and very express assurance of proof of the repentance of the said countess ; whereupon you will desire her to enter into particulars, and will endeavour to learn from her as far as you can, promising to her only to give me information of all by the first conveyance which you can recover, and from yourself exert yourself as far as you can to eifect this reconciliation. But, beforehand, I do not wish to conceal from you my resolution that her extreme ingratitude, and the terms in which she has acted against me, do not permit me, with my honour (which I hold dearer than all the greatness in this world), to have ever anything to do
with so wicked a woman.
I thank you for the part which you have given me of your news, and entreat you to continue to impart them to me as particularly as your convenience will permit ; the knowledge of foreign affairs assisting me greatly in looking to my own here. The packet here inclosed is to be sent to Morgan by the conveyance which he has arranged with you.
The last of May.
Autograph Postscript, — Mr. Ambassador, — I entreat you earnestly that that young lady* may be honourably taken back by her father and mother from me. To this effect deal with them as soon as you can, making them aware of my intention in that respect, which is to see her well provided for to their satisfaction ; and, to tell you more frankly, I desire,for many reasons, to be well quit of her, especially on account of her grandmother.
May 31, 1593: The Jews were barred from living in Riga and Livonia.
1594: In the very ancient description of the western isles, by Donald Monro, Dean of the Isles (1594) he records that the MacKinnon possessions in Skye are as follows:—"The Castill of Dunnakyne, perteining to M'Kynnoun; the Castill Dunringill, perteining to the said M'Kynnoun; the country of Strayts nardill, perteining to M'Kynnoun. At the shore of Skye aforesaid, Iyes ane iyle callit Pabay, neyre ane myle in lenthe, full of woodes, guid for fishing, and a main shelter for thieves and cut throats. It perteins to M'Kynnoun."
1594: ** Building of The Swan Theatre starts (it was finished in 1596).
May 31, 1647: The Rhode Island General Assembly drafts a constitution calling for separation of church and state.
1648: Since the pogroms of 1648, Polish Jewry had undergone a trauma of dislocation and demoralization that was as intense as the exile of the Sephardim from Spain. Many of the most learned and spiritual Jewish families of Poland had either been killed or had migrated to the comparative safety of Western Europe.
1648: The death tolls of the Khmelnytskyi uprising, as many others from the eras analyzed by historical demography, vary, and became a subject of ongoing reinterpretation as better sources and methodology are becoming available.[8] Population losses of the entire Commonwealth population in the years 1648-1667 (a period which includes the Uprising, but also the Polish-Russian War and the Swedish invasion) are estimated at 4 million (roughly a decrease from 11-12 million to 7-8 million).[9]
Prior to the Uprising, magnates had sold and leased certain privileges to Jewish arendators for a percentage of an estate's revenue. and, while enjoying themselves at their courts, left it to the Jewish leaseholders and collectors to become objects of hatred to the oppressed and long-suffering peasants. Khmelnytsky told the people that the Poles had sold them as slaves "into the hands of the accursed Jews." With this as their battle-cry, Cossacks and the peasantry massacred a large number of Polish-Lithuanian townsfolk, szlachta, and their Jewish allies during the years 1648-1649. The contemporary 17th century Eyewitness Chronicle (Yeven Mezulah) by Nathan ben Moses Hannover states:
Wherever they found the szlachta, royal officials or Jews, they [Cossacks] killed them all, sparing neither women nor children. They pillaged the estates of the Jews and nobles, burned churches and killed their priests, leaving nothing whole. It was a rare individual in those days who had not soaked his hands in blood...[10]
[edit] Jewish
The entire Jewish population of the Commonwealth in that period (1618 to 1717) has been estimated to be about 200,000[11]. Most Jews lived outside Ukraine in the territories unaffected by the uprising, as the Jewish population of Ukraine of that period is estimated at about 50,000.[12] However virtually all sources agree that Jewish Ukrainian communities were devastated by the uprising. It should be noted that in two decades following the uprising the Commonwealth suffered two more major wars (The Deluge and Russo-Polish War (1654–1667); during that period total Jewish casualties are estimated at least 100,000.[9]
The accounts of contemporaneous Jewish chroniclers of the events tended to emphasize large casualty figures, but they have been reevaluated downwards at the end the 20th century, when modern historiographic methods, particularly from the realm of historical demography, became more widely adopted.[8]. According to Orest Subtelny:
Weinryb cites the calculations of indicating that about 50,000 Jews lived in the area where the uprising occurred. See B. Weinryb, "The Hebrew Chronicles on Bohdan Khmelnytsky and the Cossack-Polish War", Harvard Ukrainian Studies 1 (1977): 153-77. While many of them were killed, Jewish losses did not reach the hair-raising figures that are often associated with the uprising. In the words of Weinryb (The Jews of Poland, 193-4), "The fragmentary information of the period—and to a great extent information from subsequent years, including reports of recovery—clearly indicate that the catastrophe may have not been as great as has been assumed." [13]
Early twentieth-century estimates of Jewish deaths were based on the accounts of the Jewish chroniclers of the time, and tended to be high, ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 or more; in 1916 Simon Dubnow stated:
The losses inflicted on the Jews of Poland during the fatal decade 1648-1658 were appalling. In the reports of the chroniclers, the number of Jewish victims varies between one hundred thousand and five hundred thousand. But even if we accept the lower figure, the number of victims still remains colossal, even exceeding the catastrophes of the Crusades and the Black Death in Western Europe. Some seven hundred Jewish communities in Poland had suffered massacre and pillage. In the Ukrainian cities situated on the left banks of the Dnieper, the region populated by Cossacks... the Jewish communities had disappeared almost completely. In the localities on the right shore of the Dneiper or in the Polish part of the Ukraine as well as those of Volhynia and Podolia, wherever Cossacks had made their appearance, only about one tenth of the Jewish population survived.[14]
Stories about massacre victims who had been buried alive, cut to pieces, or forced to kill one another spread throughout Europe and beyond. These stories filled many with despair, and resulted in a revival of the ideas of Isaac Luria, and the identification of Sabbatai Zevi as the Messiah.[15]
From the 1960s to the 1980s historians still considered 100,000 a reasonable estimate of the Jews killed, and, according to Edward Flannery, many considered it "a minimum".[16] Max Dimont in Jews, God, and History, first published in 1962, writes "Perhaps as many as 100,000 Jews perished in the decade of this revolution." [17] Edward Flannery, writing in The Anguish of the Jews: Twenty-Three Centuries of Antisemitism, first published in 1965, also gives figures of 100,000 to 500,000, stating "Many historians consider the second figure exaggerated and the first a minimum".[16] Martin Gilbert in his Jewish History Atlas published in 1976 states "Over 100,000 Jews were killed; many more were tortured or ill-treated, others fled..."[18] Many other sources of the time give similar figures.[19]
Although many modern sources still give estimates of Jews killed in the uprising at 100,000[20] or more,[21] others put the numbers killed at between 40,000 and 100,000,[22] and recent academic studies have argued fatalities were even lower.
A 2003 study by Israeli demographer Shaul Stampfer of Hebrew University dedicated solely to the issue of Jewish casualties in the uprising concludes that 18,000-20,000 Jews were killed out of a total population of 40,000.[23] Paul Robert Magocsi states that Jewish chroniclers of the seventeenth century "provide invariably inflated figures with respect to the loss of life among the Jewish population of Ukraine. The numbers range from 60,000-80,000 (Nathan Hannover) to 100,000 (Sabbatai Cohen), but that "[t]he Israeli scholars Shmuel Ettinger and Bernard D. Weinryb speak instead of the 'annihilation of tens of thousands of Jewish lives', and the Ukrainian-American historian Jarowlaw Pelenski narrows the number of Jewish deaths to between 6,000 and 14,000".[24] Orest Subtelny concludes:
Between 1648 and 1656, tens of thousands of Jews—given the lack of reliable data, it is impossible to establish more accurate figures—were killed by the rebels, and to this day the Khmelnytsky uprising is considered by Jews to be one of the most traumatic events in their history.[25]
It should also be noted that occasionally the Jewish population was spared, notably after the sack of the town Brody (the population of which was 70% Jewish). The Jews of Brody were judged and "deemed as not engaged in maltreatment of the Ruthenians" and were only required to pay a tribute in "textiles and furs"[26].
1648: Tens of thousands of Jews had been displaced and many had become wanderers, roaming from town to town, barred from permanent settlement.
1648-1655: The Ukrainian Cossacks lead by Bohdan Chmielnicki massacre about 100,000 Jews and similar number of Polish nobles, 300 Jewish communities destroyed. [1] In Spain Jews could escape persecution by conversion, whereas in the massacres in the Ukraine in 1648-1649 conversion made no difference. Were the attackers out to capture the souls of the Jews or their money? [2]
May 31, 1665: Sabbeti Zevi proclaimed himself Messiah. The most famous of all the False Messiahs, Sabbeti Zevi enthralled tens of thousands of Jews. His message was accepted across all social and economic classes. His followers were to be found throughout Jewish communities in Europe and the Orient. Turkish authorities became alarmed at his growing popularity and had him arrested. The Sultan gave him the choice of proving his claims or suffering the death penalty. The would-be Messiah gave up the game, accepted a minor governmental position in Turkey and converted to Islam. The whole episode might be written off as a farce if it were not for the fact that so many had believed in him and were disillusioned by the outcome. In addition, charges of being a secret supporter of his beliefs would tear at the fabric of Jewish society for decades to come.
May 31, 1740: Frederick William I passed away. As a result of his death, recently passed legislation that would have led to the end of the Jewish community in Berlin was not enforced.
May 31, 1754
The Fry and Jefferson map was originally prepared by Joshua Fry and Thomas Jefferson‘s father
Peter in 1751. It was published in London in 1755 after Fry‘s May 1754 death. Fry was in charge
of leading a military expedition from Wills Creek, but fell from his horse and died. A Colonel
Joshua Fry historical marker is located at Riverside Park in Cumberland, Maryland.
In his 1880 book ―Memoir of Col. Joshua Fry: sometime professor in William and Mary
College, Virginia, and Washington’s senior in command of Virginia forces, 1754, etc., etc.,
…‖, the Reverend P. Slaughter indicates that he found the following anonymous record among
the Fry family‘s papers:
Col. Fry was buried near Fort Cumberland 72, near Will‘s Creek, on May 31, 1754.
Washington and the army attended the funeral; and on a large oak tree, which now
stands as a tomb and a monument to his memory, Washington cut the following
inscription, which can be read to this day: ―Under this oak lies the body of the good, the
just and the noble Fry.‖
Washington did not attend the May 31 burial, as he did not learn of Fry‘s death until June 6. If he
attended Fry‘s funeral service, it was at a later date.
May 31, 1762: Elizabeth Preston (b. May 31, 1762 / d. February 4, 1837).
May 31, 1776: The royal governors of North and South Carolina met Clinton to give him the bad news, but Commodore Peter Parker and Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis had not yet arrived from Cork, Ireland, to support Clinton in his efforts to suppress the American rebellion. After waiting until May 31, 1776, for the last of the contingency to arrive from Cork, Clinton contemplated moving the British forces to the Chesapeake Bay, since North Carolina had already fallen to the Patriots, but Parker convinced him to head instead for Charleston, South Carolina.
May 31, 1777
Captain Molitor reported two accidents in his diary entry of May 31, 1777. “Today the anchor ropes were fastened on [the anchors] and the anchors secured on the sides of the ship. The 1st mate Briggs, in so doing, had the misfortune that an anchor of sixteen hundredweight, which slipped fell on him. It hit him in the groin above the right hip and knocked him, seriously injured, under it. The mast, which it fell against at the same time, absorbed part of the heavy weight and saved his life. Today we received the report that during the last storm a sailor from the ship Symetry fell from the mast and was never seen again”
May 31st, 1782
May 31st .Friday.—We started earlier this morning than we had done any day yet; & had in the forepart of the Day a midling level Country & open Woods. After 7 miles march we came to a very small run with steep Banks, where on the edge of the Bank the Tuscarawos road joins this path. I went to examine this path with our pilot, and found fresh tracks that had gone down. Not quite 2 miles from this run stood formerly Mohickin John’s Town, surrounded by Glades & small Lakes. A litle fresh run originates at a small Spring, about 300 Yards Back meandreing [sic] through Grottos of Wood and the eastermost Branch of White woman’s Creek winds along the foot of a mountain which closes the prospect, the soil here though not very rich seems sufficiently so for the production of grain, and the lakes are full of fish.
Swamps & Mires intersect the Country, who are almost unavoidable & form dangerous Defiles, to avoid these our pilots sat out a South course along a blind path close to the right of the first Lake: a road they formerly had travelled & they were acquainted with; & left 2 very plain paths to our right bearing W. of which the northermost one leads past a large Lick.
After marching 2 miles we crossed Ku-kub-sing (a branch of White woman’s Creek so called from a Town at the mouth of it) traversed a Glade—recrossed the same Creek, and came upon a miry place but a few yards wide—deep to the shoulders of a horse, & passable by one man at a time only, occasioned by an impenetrable morass on the right & a high steep Hill on the Left. It is a kind a Draft [sic] which empties itself out of this morass into the Creek a few yards from where the main Body crossed it. I tryed whether it was not possible to avoid this draft by crossing the Creek some distance below it, & found it practicable. But a narrow path for 2 or 300 yards continues along the foot of the hill, only passable in an Indian File & beset with thickets.
Our pilots asserted that the other 2 paths we left at Mohickin John’s Town to our right running W. were so miry & hilly that it was impossible for a traveller on foot to get along, three miles farther on we came upon the midle fork of White Woman’s Creek, on which we encamped & here the Glades end—

To JOHN HARVIE
Mount Vernon, May 31, 1785.
Sir: I. am informed that a patent (in consequence of a Cer¬tificate from Commrs. appointed to enquire into, and decide upon claims for settlement of the Western Lands) is about to issue to the heirs of Michl. Cresap, from the Land Office of this Commonwealth, for a tract of land on the river Ohio formerly in Augusta County, now commonly called and dis¬tinguished by the [name of Round bottom: against grant¬ing which to the heirs of the said Cresap, I enter a Caveat for the following reasons; First, because this Land was discovered by me in the month of Octor. 1770, and then marked; which was before, as I have great reason to believe, the said Cresap, or any person in his behalf had ever seen, or had the least knowledge of the tract. Secondly, because I did at that time, whilst I was on the Land, direct Captn. (afterwds. Col.) Willm. Crawford to survey the same for my use, as a halfway place or stage between Fort Pitt and the 200,000 acres of land which he was ordered to survey for the first Virginia regi¬ment agreeably to Govr. Dinwiddie’s Proclamation of 1754. Thirdly, because consequent of this order he made the survey (this survey is either in the hands of the County Surveyc Augusta, or with my agent in the Westn. Country: it is to be found among my papers; tho’ I am sure of the fact, will procure it if necessary) in the month of the following for 587 acres, and returned it to me accord in~ and equally certain I am that it was made before Mr. Cre or any person in his behalf had ever stretch’d a chain there knew of, or, as I have already observed, had taken a sin step to obtain the land. Fourthly, because subsequent of t survey; but previous to any claim of Cresaps, a certain I Brisco possessed himself of the Land, and relinquished after I had written him a letter in the words contained in ti inclosure No. ~ Fifth1y, because upon the first informatic I received of Cresaps pretentions, I wrote him a letter, which No. 2 is a copy. Sixthly, because it was the practic of Cresap, according to the information given me, to notch few trees, and sell as many bottoms on the river above th Little Kanhawa as he could obtain purchasers, to the disquie and injury of numbers. Seventhly, Because the Commrs wh( gave the Certificate under which his heirs now claim, coulc have had no knowledge of my title thereto, being no person in that District properly authorised; during my absence, to support my claim. Eighthly, Because the survey, which was made by Cob. Crawford, who was legally appointed by the Masters of Wm. and Mary College for the purpose of sur¬veying the aforesaid 200,000 acres, is expressly recognized and deemed valid by the first section of the Act, entitled an Act, see the Act; as the same was afterwards returned by the sur¬veyor of the county in which the Land lay. Ninthly and lastly, Because I have a Patent for the said Land, under the seal of the said Commonwealth signed by the Governr. in due form on the 3oth. day of Octor. (October 30) 1784; consequent of a begai Survey made the i4th. of (July 14) 73 as just mentioned, and now of record in the Land Office.
For these reasons I protest against a Patent’s issuing for the Land for which the Commissioners have given a Certificate to the Heirs of Mr. Cresap so far as the same shall interfere with mine: the legal and equitable right thereto being in me.
If I am defective in form in entering this Caveat, I hope to be excused, and to have my mistakes rectified, I am unaccus¬tomed to litigations; and never disputed with any man until the ungenerous advantages which have been taken of the pe¬culiarity of my situation, and an absence of eight years from my country, has driven me into Courts of Law to obtain com¬mon justice. I have the honor, etc.”

Similarly, a letter from Thomas Turner in the May 31, 1805 Boston Repertory states, "an opinion has existed . . . that this very Sally is the natural daughter of Mr. Wales, who was the father of the actual Mrs. Jefferson."

Trails sign located at 301 E Main St, Wardensville WV 26851
This busy crossroads town saw lots of action during the war. Union Gen. John C. Fremont’s 20,000 soldiers marched through here in late May 1862 on their way back to the Valley after their defeat at the hands of Stonewall Jackson there. Other units large and small found an easy route to Winchester and points south. Southern guerrillas found friends here but were warned that harboring the partisans might result in the destruction
of the town.
May 31, 1862: Robert E. Lee served as military advisor to President Davis until General Joe Johnston was wounded at the Battle of Seven Pines on May 31, 1862. Command of the Army of Northern Virginia devolved upon General Gustavus Woodson Smith who suffered a nervous breakdown within 12 hours, leading Davis to place Lee in the top spot. He had his work cut out for him; the Confederacy had suffered multiple defeats, the public held no confidence in him, and McClellan was about four miles east of Richmond (at roughly the present location of Richmond International Airport) with an Army far larger and better equipped than anything Lee could muster.

To Augusta, May 31, 1865: . With the war obviously over, the regiment found it strange that they had to continue with daily battalion or company drill and dress parade every evening. False hopes were raised when orders to march were issued. Instead of a return to Savannah, the regiment was marched to an old United States arsenal three miles southwest of Augusta. Once again, the Iownas put on a show as they marched through town. Large brick buildings provided comfortable quarters for both officers and men. The arsenal had manufactured ammunition and supplies for the Confederate Army during the war. A number of shell fuses and signal rockets provided the regiment with a beautiful evening of fireworks until a misdirected signal rocket killed a member of the 28th Iowa, ending the festivities.
By May 31, 1865: More than 2,600 burials had occurred in the cemetery, and Meigs ordered that a white picket fence be constructed around the Arlington burial grounds.[18]

before interviewing him, rather than confronting him as he gets off the boat in New York.
