December 17-25, 217: Saturnalia
By the beginning of December, writes Columella, the farmer should have finished his autumn planting (De Re Rustica, III.14). Now, at the time of the winter solstice (December 25 in the Julian calendar), Saturnus, the god of seed and sowing, was honored with a festival. The Saturnalia officially was celebrated on December 17 (XVI Kal. Jan.) and, in Cicero's time, lasted seven days, from December 17-23. Augustus limited the holiday to three days, so the civil courts would not have to be closed any longer than necessary, and Caligula extended it to five (Suetonius, XVII; Cassius Dio, LIX.6), which Claudius restored after it had been abolished (Dio, LX.25). Still, everyone seems to have continued to celebrate for a full week, extended, says Macrobius (I.10.24), by celebration of the Sigillaria, so named for the small earthenware figurines that were sold then.
Macrobius, in his Saturnalia, creates an imaginary symposium among pagan intellectuals in which he offers an explanation for the varying length of the holiday. Originally, it was celebrated on only one day, the fourteenth before the Kalends of January. With the Julian reform of the calendar, however, two days were added to December, and the Saturnalia was celebrated sixteen days before the Kalends (December 17), "with the result that, since the exact day was not commonly known—some observing the addition which Caesar had made to the calendar and others following the old usage—the festival came to be regarded as lasting for more days than one" (I.10.2). The original day now was given over to the Opalia, honoring Ops, who personified abundance and the fruits of the earth, and was the consort of Saturn. As the two deities represented the produce of the fields and orchards, so they also were thought to represent heaven and earth. It was for this reason, says Macrobius (I.10.20), that the two festivals were celebrated at the same time, the worshipers of Ops always sitting in prayer so that they touched the earth, mother of all.
In the Roman calendar, the Saturnalia was designated a holy day, or holiday, on which religious rites were performed. Saturn, himself, was identified with Kronos, and sacrificed to according to Greek ritual, with the head uncovered. The Temple of Saturn, the oldest temple recorded by the pontiffs, had been dedicated on the Saturnalia, and the woolen bonds which fettered the feet of the ivory cult statue within were loosened on that day to symbolize the liberation of the god. It also was a festival day. After sacrifice at the temple, there was a public banquet, which Livy says was introduced in 217 BC (there also may have been a lectisternium, a banquet for the god in which its image is placed in attendance, as if a guest). Afterwards, according to Macrobius (I.10.18), the celebrants shouted Io, Saturnalia at a riotous feast in the temple.
The Saturnalia was the most popular holiday of the Roman year. Catullus (XIV) describes it as "the best of days," and Seneca complains that the "whole mob has let itself go in pleasures" (Epistles, XVIII.3). Pliny the Younger writes that he retired to his room while the rest of the household celebrated (Epistles, II.17.24). It was an occasion for celebration, visits to friends, and the presentation of gifts, particularly wax candles (cerei), perhaps to signify the returning light after the solstice, and sigillaria. Martial wrote Xenia and Apophoreta for the Saturnalia. Both were published in December and intended to accompany the "guest gifts" which were given at that time of year. Aulus Gellius relates that he and his Roman compatriots would gather at the baths in Athens, where they were studying, and pose difficult questions to one another on the ancient poets, a crown of laurel being dedicated to Saturn if no-one could answer them (Attic Nights, XVIII.2).
During the holiday, restrictions were relaxed and the social order inverted. Gambling was allowed in public. Slaves were permitted to use dice and did not have to work. Instead of the toga, less formal dinner clothes (synthesis) were permitted, as was the pileus, a felt cap normally worn by the manumitted slave that symbolized the freedom of the season. Within the family, a Lord of Misrule was chosen. Slaves were treated as equals, allowed to wear their masters' clothing, and be waited on at meal time in remembrance of an earlier golden age thought to have been ushered in by the god. In the Saturnalia, Lucian relates that "During My week the serious is barred; no business allowed. Drinking, noise and games and dice, appointing of kings and feasting of slaves, singing naked, clapping of frenzied hands, an occasional ducking of corked faces in icy water—such are the functions over which I preside."
This equality was temporary, of course. Petronius speaks of an impudent slave, who had burst out laughing, being asked whether it was December yet (Satyricon, LVIII). Dio writes of Aulus Plautius cajoling his troops in his invasion of Britain. But they hesitated, "indignant at the thought of carrying on a campaign outside the limits of the known world." Only when they were entreated by a former slave dispatched by Claudius did they relent, shouting Io, Saturnalia (LX.19.3).
If a time of merriment, the season also was an occasion for murder. The Catiline conspirators intended to fire the city and kill the Senate on the Saturnalia, when many would be preoccupied with the celebration. Caracalla plotted to murder his brother then, and Commodus was strangled in his bath on New Year's eve.
At the end of the first century AD, Statius still could proclaim: "For how many years shall this festival abide! Never shall age destroy so holy a day! While the hills of Latium remain and father Tiber, while thy Rome stands and the Capitol thou hast restored to the world, it shall continue" (Silvae, I.6.98ff). And the Saturnalia did continue to be celebrated as Brumalia (from bruma, "the shortest day," winter solstice) down to the Christian era, when, by the middle of the fourth century AD, its festivities had become absorbed in the celebration of Christmas.
________________________________________
217 B.C.: Saturnalia underwent a major reform in 217 BC, after the Battle of Lake Trasimene, when the Romans suffered one of their most crushing defeats by Carthage during the Second Punic War. Until that time, they had celebrated the holiday according to Roman custom (more Romano). It was after a consultation of the Sibylline books that they adopted "Greek rite", introducing sacrifices carried out in the Greek manner, the public banquet, and the continual shouts of io Saturnalia that became characteristic of the celebration.[51] Cato the Elder (234–149 BC) was aware of a time before the so-called "Greek" elements had been added to the Roman Saturnalia.[52] It was not unusual for the Romans to offer cult to the gods of other nations in the hope of redirecting their favor (see evocatio), and the Second Punic War in particular created pressures on Roman society that led to a number of religious innovations and reforms.[53] Robert E.A. Palmer has argued that the introduction of new rites at this time was in part an effort to appease Ba'al Hammon, the Carthaginian god who was regarded as the counterpart of the Roman Saturn and Greek Cronus.[54] The table service that masters offered their slaves thus would have extended to Carthaginian or African war captives.[55]
December 17-25, 497: Saturnalia was supposed to have been held on December 17 from the time of the oldest Roman religious calendar,[42] which the Romans believed to have been established by the legendary founder Romulus and his successor Numa. It was a dies festus, a legal holiday when no public business could be conducted.[43] The day marked the dedication of the Temple to Saturn in the Roman Forum in 497 BC.[44]
By the late Republic, the celebration of Saturnalia had expanded to a full seven days,[45] but during the Imperial period contracted variously to three to five days.[46] Under Augustus, there was a three-day official holiday.[47] Caligula extended it to five.[48]
December 17 was the first day of of the astrological sign Capricorn, the house of Saturn, the planet named for the god.[49] Its proximity to the winter solstice was endowed with various meanings by both ancient and modern scholars; for instance, the widespread use of wax candles (cerei, singular cereus) may refer to "the returning power of the sun's light after the solstice."[50]
Jewish Diaspora 500 BCE-500 CE:
Despite their enforced separateness, Jewish communities in the Diaspora adopt many customs of the surrounding cultures. Integrating non-Jews into the community through marriage is common practice. Many also convert to Christianity.[1]
500 years A.D.: In five centuries after his death Christ’s following had grown from a handful of Jewish converts to a flock of millions, spread throughout the old roman empire.
500 A.D. : A key figure in the development of the monastic lifestyle was St. Benedict of Inertia. In 500 A.D. Benedict left his comfortable life among the nobility and started living as a hermit in the Italian countryside. But as word spread about his special powers of healing he was forced to sacrifice his simple life of seclusion. His reputation for miracal working caused people to seek him out where ever he went. Telling the future, healing the sick, and raising the dead. Benedict begins his own chain of 12 new monasteries' south east of Rome.
Abt 500:The Christian religion was introduced in Scotland about 500 A.D. and new troubles were experienced by the converts.
Sixth Century: By the 6th century, Jews have become a minority in their own land.

With an actual homeland no longer the central motif of their religion, the Jews of early Christendom retreated ever further into scripture, the surviving rock of their religion. Unable to worship in the splendor of their Temple in Jerusalem, they were united not under the flag of nationhood but by a belief in the Torah. Judaism was crystallizing into a religion of history and fidelity defined as “in the blood” and “of the Book.” The descendants of the ancient Israelites were now mostly strangers in strange lands. Exile and the image of the “wandering Jew” were by now firmly embedded in Western mythology. [2]

William I Longsword (French: Guillaume Longue-Épée, Latin: Willermus Longa Spata, Old Norse: Vilhjálmr Langaspjót) (c. 900 – 942) was the second ruler of Normandy, from 927 until his assassination.[1]
He is sometimes anachronistically dubbed "Duke of Normandy", even though the title duke (dux) did not come into common usage until the 11th century.[2] William was known at the time by the title count (Latin comes) of Rouen[3][4] Flodoard—always detailed about titles—consistently referred to both Rollo and his son William as principes (chieftains) of the Norse.[5]
•
Birth
William was born 'overseas'[a][6] to the Viking Rollo, while he was still a pagan, and his Christian wife Poppa of Bayeux.[7][8] Dudo of Saint-Quentin in his panegyric of the Norman dukes describes Poppa as the daughter of a count Beranger, the dominant prince of that region.[9] In the 11th century Annales Rouennaises (Annals of Rouen), she is called the daughter of Guy, Count of Senlis,[10] otherwise unknown to history.[b] Despite the uncertainty of her parentage she was undoubtedly a member of the Frankish aristocracy.[11] According to the William's planctus, he was baptized a Christian probably at the same time as his father,[12] which Orderic Vitalis stated was in 912 and by Franco, Archbishop of Rouen[13]
Life
William succeeded Rollo (who was still alive) in 927[14] and, early in his reign, faced a rebellion from Normans[15] who felt he had become too Gallicised and too soft.[16] According to Orderic Vitalis, the leader was Riouf of Evreux.[16][17][18] At the time of this rebellion William sent his pregnant wife Sprota to Fécamp where their son Richard was born.[19]
In 933, William I Longsword recognized Raoul as King of Western Francia, who was struggling to assert his authority in Northern France. In turn Raoul gave him lordship over much of the lands of the Bretons including Avranches and the Cotentin.[20][21] Resistance to the Normans was led by Alan Wrybeard, Duke of Brittany and Count Berenger of Rennes but ended shortly with Alan fleeing to England and Beranger seeking reconciliation.[22]
In 935, William contracted a marriage between his sister Adela (Gerloc was her Norse name) and William, count of Poitou with the approval of Hugh the Great.[23] At the same time William married Luitgarde,[1] daughter of count Herbert II of Vermandois whose dowry gave him the lands of Longueville, Coudres and Illiers l'Eveque.[18] In addition to supporting king Raoul, he was now a loyal ally of his father-in-law, Herbert II, both of whom his father Rollo had opposed.[24]
The funerary monument of William Longsword in the cathedral of Rouen, France. The monument is from the 14th century.
William Longsword attacked Flanders in 939 and Arnulf I, Count of Flanders, and Louis IV, King of France, retaliated by attacking Normandy. Arnulf captured the castle of Montreuil-sur-Mer expelling Herluin, Count of Ponthieu. Herluin and William Longsword cooperated to retake the castle.[25][26] William was excommunicated for his actions in attacking and destroying several estates belonging to Arnulf.[27]
William pledged his loyalty to King Louis IV when they met in 940 and, in return, he was confirmed in lands that had been given to his father, Rollo.[28] Almost three years later, on December 17, 942 at Picquigny on the Somme, William Longsword was ambushed and killed by followers of Arnulf while at a peace conference to settle their differences.[18][26]
Family
He had no children with his wife Luitgarde.[29] After William's death she married Theobald I, Count of Blois and had at least three children with him.[29]
William fathered his son, Richard the Fearless, with Sprota[c] who was a Breton captive and his concubine.[30] Richard succeeded him.[29]

To CAPTAIN ROBERT STEWART
Fort Loudon, December 17, 1756.
Sir: Ensign Crawford has referred a dispute to me concerning his rank in the Army. I must determine in his favour and allow their Officers to rank by the dates and dignity o their Commissions. For these reasons; vizt. That Companies tho’ esteemed and called Scouts, are raised and supported upon the same funds as those of the Regiment; have the same pay entitled to the same privileges and immunities; and are subject to the same laws and punishments: therefore ought, in justice to have the same rank. The only distinction between them and the Companies of the Regiment lies in this. Were we upon march, they must, from the nature of their Establishment encounter more hardship danger and fatigue; which in my opinion, shou’d rather encrease than diminish their claim to Honor!
It is a mistaken notion, in some, that they are Rangers, and shou’d rank as such. The Rangers had a particular sum levie for their support, and laws made to govern them by; distinct from those we have the honor to act under. To put an end all future disputes, let the Officers be made acquainted wit the contents of this letter. I am Sir, Yours &c.
1757
Sometime, not too long after the move to PA, George married again. In filling out pension applications for the War of 1812, Isaac Cutlip (son of David) and Samuel Cutlip (son of George) swore that their fathers were "half-brothers." So, George probably married his second (or third, or ...) wife in the mid-1750s. David was probably born on the PA frontier about 1757, making him 18–19 at the outbreak of the AmRevWar in which he took part. As a guess, Abraham may have been born a year or two later. Many questions haunt us about the early years: Was "Christina" George's first wife? Did "Christina" leave him? Or, was Christina a daughter? Or, no relation, at all? Did Abraham move to Georgia and start the Cutliff clan which spread across the south?

====================
BIOGRAPHY:
David Cutlip, a son of George Cutlip, was born about 1757, where his father was engaged in the French and Indian Wars in Pennsylvania. As a young man barely out of his teens (perhaps not even that), he joined Virginia troops in some of the opening skirmishes of the AmRevWar ... even prior to the Declaration of Independence. Although the war dragged on from 1775 to 1783, hostilities were basically over with the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781. So, on 01 Mar 1781, David Cutlip married Jane Burns.
The handwriting on Jane's name is sometimes taken for "Burris" ... this is wrong. Likewise, the fifteen years (or so) difference in the ages of David and his older half-brother have lead some to think George Cutlip (who died in Ohio) is David's father. This cannot be because that particular George left a will listing his ten living adult children by name ... David was not on the list, although alive and well in (West) Virginia. Pension applications for the War of 1812 by their sons (George's Samuel and David's Isaac) state that their fathers were "half-brothers."
George died in Ohio (about 73 years old) in 1812 leaving a will listing all ten of his living children. David died in (West) Virginia (about 66 years old) in 1822 leaving a will mentioning only one son (Samuel Cutlip) who was to administer everything for the benefit of his brothers and sisters. -- Rod Bias (Rod.Bias@asu.edu).

December 17, 1568: To THE Earl of Mar.
From Bolton, 17th December, 1568.
My Lord of Mar, — The natural affection which I bear to my son, and the preservation of that which it has pleased God to commit to my charge, induces me to write this letter to apprise you of matters which I doubt not are concealed from you, or at least are misrepresented by those in whom you repose the greatest confidence. My son is to be removed from your care and sent into this country, and Stirling Castle committed to a garrison of foreigners. You know that I have entrusted both to you, from the confidence which I have had in you and all belonging to you ; and although by the persuasion of others you have for some time past failed in that goodwill w^hich you had towards me, yet I cannot believe but that you still retain some feeling and memory of that which by deeds I have shewn to you, and that, if you are unwilling to acknowledge it in my person, you will at least in that of my son, of whom I entreat you to have that care to which your own honour and the love which you owe to your country bind you. Look betimes to the safety of the place, and take care that my son be not stolen from you, and you be not circumvented ; for what I have written is certain and true, and
is so arranged, and only remains to be executed. I believe that you have no relative whose cupidity and ambition to reign would induce you to consent to the ruin and desolation of your country, and to see it miserably delivered up as the tributary and slave of another, as it will be, unless God by his goodness and mercy destroys the wicked designs of those who lay such schemes and intrigues, thinking by such means to aggrandise themselves, and attain to their own private
ends. And therefore assuring myself that with your prudence and sound judgment this simple hint will suffice to put you on your guard, and show you still more clearly the truth of the case, I conclude this by praying God to grant you, my Lord of Mar, all that you most desire.
From Bolton Castle, this 17th day of December, 1568.
Your very good friend,
Marie R.
P.S. (Autograph), — Remember that when I delivered to you my son, as my most precious jewel, you promised to protect him, and give him up to no one without my consent ; as you have since also promised to me in your letters.

December 1745: Frederick the Great had abandoned his French ally during the War of Austrian Succession by signing a separate peace treaty with Austria in December 1745. At the same time, French officials realized that the Habsburg empire of Maria Theresa of Austria was no longer the danger it had been in the heyday of the Habsburgs, back in the 16th and 17th centuries, when they controlled Spain and much of the rest of Europe and presented a formidable challenge to France. The new dangerous power looming on the horizon was Prussia.
December 1757: GW's first expansion of the Mount Vernon property occurred in December 1757, when he bought two pieces of land on the plantation's northern boundary from Sampson Darrell (d. 1777) of Fairfax County: a tract of 200 acres on Dogue Run and an adjoining tract of 300 acres on Little Hunting Creek. The total price of these two tracts was?350, which GW paid with?260 in cash and a bond for?90 due in two years, and in return he received Darrell's bond guaranteeing him title to the land.
December 17, 1771; (GW) Killed my pork and distributed the overseers their shares.
1771-1773
It is important that I note here that a conflict between Pennsylvania and Virginia resulted in what was Bedford County in 1771 was changed to Westmoreland in 1773 then to Fayette County in 1783.
What was Westmoreland County, Virginia, when Daniel McKinnon and Nancy Harrison were married about 1789, was still Bedford County in 1772 until 1773, then Westmoreland, then Fayette County, PA.
1772
In 1772, Jacob Hite pursued his claim against Crawford and the executors of Harrison’s estate. Jacob Hite thought of Lawrence Harrison’s widow as Katharina. Papers recorded in later years in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, support Jacob Hite’s idea. Although she sometimes appeared in the record as Catherine, Lawrence Harrison’s widow called herself Katherina.
Bedford County was erected in 1771 and from it, later Fayette County was erected in 1783. While the lands which he (Lawrence3 Harrison) and his children owned are in what is known as Fayette County now, they were during his lifetime in Bedford County, where "Letters of Administration were granted to Catherine Harrison, his wife, and son, William4 Harrison, January 14, 1772." (The Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania Publications, Vol 10, p. 66.) Research has, so far, failed to disclose the family name of Catherine, wife of Lawrence Harrison. Sometime following her husband's death, Catherine Harrison, went to Kentucky and was residing with her sister, Mary (Harrison) Moore, wife of Captain Thomas Moore, where she died in 1836.

LIST OF SETTLERS IN FAYETTE
AND TN CONTIGUOUS PARTS OF
GREENE, WASHINGTON & WESTMORELAND COUNTIES,
IN 1772:
COPIED FROM THE OFFICIAL ASSESSMENT ROLLS OF BEDFORD COUNTY FOR 1771.
In 1772; and until the erection of Westmoreland in 1773, Bedford county embraced all of South-western Pennsylvania.
All of what Is now Fayette county, east of a straight line from the mouth of Redstone to the mouth of Jacob’s creek, composed two townships, Spring-hill and Tyrone, between which the division line was Redstone creek, from Its mouth to where it was crossed by Burd’s Road, thence Burd’s Road to Gist’s, thence Braddock’s Road to the Great Crossings. That part of Fayette which is west (or north-west) of the line from the mouth of Redstone to the mouth of Jacob’s creek, was included in Rostraver township; which then embraced all of the “Forks of Yough” to the junction.
All of Greene and of Washington counties, which were then supposed to be within the limits of Pennsylvania, and lying west of Fayette, seem to have been included in Springhill.
We give the entire lists for Springhill, Tyrone and Rostraver.(a)

Some Pennsylvanians in 1772:
Settlers in Fayette, Greene,
Washington, and Westmoreland Counties
From James Veach's The Monongahela of Old or Historical Sketches of Southwestern Pennsylvania to the Year 1800 (Pittsburgh, 1910 edition)
In 1772, and until Westmoreland County was established in 1773, Bedford County encompassed all of southwestern Pennsylvania.
All of present Fayette County — east of a straight line from the mouth of Redstone to the mouth of Jacob's Creek — consisted of two townships, Springhill and Tyrone. Here, the division line was Redstone Creek, from its mouth to where it was crossed by Burd's Road, and from Burd's Road to Gist's, then Braddock's Road to the Great Crossing. That part of Fayette County, northwest of Redstone to the mouth of Jacob's Creek, was a part of Rostraver Township.
The counties of Greene and Washington, west of Fayette, were evidently included in Springhill.

When but nineteen years of age and while still serving an apprenticeship he suddenly decided to embark for America, and landed at Annapolis, MD in 1771. From the fact that a Dodson family was then prominent in the vicicnity of Annapolis, having settled there in the latter part of 1600, said John, of Shrewsbury, England may have been attracted there from a probable kinship and knowledge of them.

Prussia’s power grew and in 1772, under King Friedrich II (Frederick the Great), consisted of the provinces of Brandenburg, Pomerania, Danzig, West Prussia and East Prussia (modern day East Germany, northern Poland, and a small portion of the Soviet Union).
1772 Jews deported to the Pale of Settlement (Russia).
1772: the anti-Russian movement "Confederation of Bar" is crushed by Russia that partitions one fourth of Poland with Prussia and Austria (Galicia, Krakow) [1]

The map of Central Europe in 1772. The Kingdom of Poland is marked in white; Russia - in green, Austria - in yellow and Prussia - in blue. Present-day political boundaries are shown as red lines. Present names of cities are also given. [1]
1772: In the last 23 years of his rule until 1786, Frederick II, who understood himself as the "first servant of the state", promoted the development and further settling of Prussian areas, such as the Oderbruch. At the same time he built up Prussia's military power and participated in the First Partition of Poland with Austria and Russia (1772), an act which finally connected the Brandenburg territories with those of Prussia proper. During this period, he also opened Prussia's borders to immigrants fleeing from religious persecution in other parts of Europe, such as the Huguenots. Prussia became a safe haven in much the same way that the United States welcomed immigrants seeking freedom in the 19th century.[1]
During the First Polish Republic (1569-1795), this area was known as Cracow and Sandomierz palatinates. Between 1772 and 1795 Poland was partitioned between the three neighboring European Empires: Russia, Prussia and Austria. In the first partition of 1772, one third of Poland's territory was taken. The area occupied by Austria was given the name of Galicia. In the second partition of 1793, Russia obtained one half on the remaining territory of Poland, while Prussia took the province of Poznan. [1]
1772 – Treaty with Virginia, ceding land in Virginia and eastern Kentucky; Watauga Lease.
1772-1795: Between 1772 and 1795 the entire territory of the Kingdom of Poland was divided between Prussia, Austria and Russia. During those so-called Partitions of Poland, Prussia acquired the western regions of Poland, esp. those, which were later renamed to West Prussia (formerly Royal Prussia) and Province of Posen (the area around Poznan, the Polish name being Wielkopolska, i.e. Greater Poland). The southern Polish territories around Kraków and Lwów were incorporated into the Austrian Empire and renamed "Galicia". The central and eastern provinces of Poland were taken over by the Russian Empire. Only during a short period when Napoleon Bonaparte conquered Central Europe, [1]he restored Poland as a Duchy of Warsaw, dependent on himself, consisting of the territories Prussia and Austria had annexed in 1793-95.

December 1774
In December 1774, he had been commissioned by Dunmore a justice of the peace and a justice of Oyer and Terminer for the county of Augusta, the court to he held at Fort Dunmore (Pittsburgh). He did not qualify, however, for these offices, until after lie had been super¬seded in those held by him under Pennsylvania authority.
• Augusta county, as claimed by Virginia, included Crawford’s ‘ home upon the Yougbiogheny; afterwards it was in the District of West Augusta, and finally in Yohogania county, until Virginia, in 1779, relinquished her claim to Southwestern Pennsylvania. Crawford not only took office under Virginia, but he became an active partisan in extending the jurisdiction of his native province over the disputed territory. Some of his acts were doubtless oppressive, though he soon atoned for them in his patriotic course upon the breaking out of the Revolution. The partisan feeling in his breast immediately gave place to the noble one of patriotism. He struck hands with Pennsylvanians in the cause of liberty.
December 1774: . The Deponent being asked if any entries were made with the Surveyor of Augusta for Lands Westward of the Alleghany Mountains, Answers that upwards of two thousand were made with him and Col: Dorsey , a number of them for Lands within the before-mentioned Grants, which entries he transmitted to Mr Thomas Lewis Surveyor of Augusta County, pursuant to his directions, none of which Entries were made before the year 1775 or in the month of December 1774—The deponent being further ask’d by the Commissioners, if he knows that the Indiania company or Colo. Croghan ever ascertain’d their Boundaries, by surveys?. Answers, that he does not know that the Indiania Company ever made any Survey, of their Lands. that Colo Croghan made a survey of his Lands on Raccoon Creek in the year--

December 1777: Also, it could be argued that if she learned of the content of Joseph Howard Sr.'s December 1777 will and that she was not included, this could have been her motivation for declaring it on the marriage license.
In light of the evidence found which applies to both Eleanor McKinnon and Eleanor Howard and the fact that no evidence found contradict the assumption that Eleanor McKinnon are the same, it is a reasonable conclusion that they are in fact the same person. Unfortunately, the above still leaves many questions open such as when and by whom were they married, what happened between 1778 and when they arrived in Hamilton County, Ohio in 1795, why William had the middle name Beal, etc. But, a s anyone experienced in research knows, all questions are rarely answered.
December 17, 1783: This attempt to impose upon him a ministry which he disliked made the king very angry. But the new cabinet had a large majority in the House of Commons, and the only chance of resisting it lay in an appeal to the country against the House of Commons. Such an appeal was not likely to be responded to unless the ministers discredited themselves with the nation. Goerge III therefore waited his time. Though a coalition between men bitterly opposed to one another in all political principles and drawn together by nothing but love of office was in itself discreditable, it needed some more positive cause of dissatisfaction to arouse the constituencies, which were by no means so ready to interfere in political disputes at that time as they are now. Such dissatisfaction was given by the India Bill, drawn up by Burke. As soon as it had passed through the Commons the king hastened to procure its rejection in the House of Lords by his personal intervention with the peers. He authorized Lord Temple to declare in his name that he would count any peer who voted for the bill as his enemy. On the December 17, 1783 the bill was thrown out. The next day ministers were dismissed. William Pitt the Younger became prime minister.

Can anybody help me find the name of the cavalry (horse) regiment which was bodyguard to Napoleon in 1799 in Austria? My ancestor Joseph was one of the few to survive the defeat of this regiment when it was sent forward and cut off by the Austrians in December 1799. The name of the regiment is needed if I am to locate his military records. All help is much appreciated.

December 17, 1812: General William Henry Harrison and an army of 600 arrived in Indiana near the Indian villages at 4:00 a.m. December 17. The Indians were attacked immediately and several warriors were killed. The remaining men, women and children were captured. Livestock was destroyed, and all grain found was immediately fed to the soldier's horses. All huts were burned except one. In the afternoon two more villages were burned. That night the soldiers deployed into a large square formation for defense. Harrison's job now was to initiate a campaign for new recruits to restore the army and map out a plan that could quickly put up defensive positions across northwest Ohio against an impending invasion. He established his recruitment headquarters in Franklinton. Here fresh recruits from Ohio, Pennsylvania and Kentucky arrived almost daily, eager to get involved. Harrison began a regimented training program of the new recruits while finalizing his plans. As these recruits were being trained, Harrison sent his initial 700 troops further west into what is today Muncie, Indiana. Here they caught a group of Miami Indians by surprise on December 17, 1812 and soundly defeated them. Above: Weather vane from top of the Franklinton courthouse pockmarked by bullet holes from recruits using the vane for target practice during their training under Harrison At that time most of Ohio was still a wilderness. A few meager roads had been built along old Indian trails, but for the most part land north and west of Columbus was flat swampy land. When travelling by car today across the long straight roads stretching mile after mile through tranquil farm lands of corn and tomatoes, it may be difficult to image that this very same land proved to an immense obstacle to navigate. It is one of the reasons that river travel and later canal travel were so vital in the development of the state in the early days. What is today farm land, was at the beginning of the 19th Century, dense woods and swamps. From Columbus north, during the hot months of summer, disease was such a problem that work was abandoned because of illnesses from mosquito borne diseases. So bad were the conditions that desertions from Harrison's army were daily. More men died from disease than died from combat. To make travel easier, Harrison ordered his men expand a well used Indian trail that ran north along the Scioto River. This road would later become SR 23. Building the Forts General Harrison made several bold moves. He first rebuilt Fort Defiance that had been a major asset during the Indian Wars of 1793 - 1794. Located at the confluence of the Auglaize and Maumee Rivers, Fort Defiance offered good control over the Maumee River. However, when this fort was built, the major threat came from the surrounding areas. During the War of 1812, the major threat came from Canadian troops that had massed along the northwest end of Lake Erie. This meant that Fort Defiance gave Harrison's men a staging area, but was not particularly helpful as a key point for defense of the area. Harrison believe that point was where the first set of rapids that would be encountered coming up the river from Lake Erie. It was at this point that larger naval vessels had to stop and unload. Here, very near where Perrysburg is located today, Harrison decided to build his first fort called Fort Meigs. Construction of the fort began in the later winter of 1813. The weather was cold, wet, and muddy but the men completed the massive fort in just 3 months and just in time. Fort Meigs was designed for defense and as a major supply point for the anticipated invasion of Canada. Besides its size, the insides of the fort were constructed to protect the men and supplies from bombardment. This style of construction meant that the British could set up large siege cannons and fire night and day (which they did) without doing much damage.

December 17, 1816: Tyler's three terms in the United States House of Representatives would be his foray into national politics. The death of U.S. Representative John Clopton in the fall of 1816 left a vacancy in the 23rd district which Tyler was well positioned to fill. He faced his friend and political ally Andrew Stevenson, then Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, in the congressional election. The race was amicable despite the high political stakes. Tyler's political connections and campaigning skills won him the election by a slim margin. He was sworn in as a Democratic-Republican[b] to the Fourteenth Congress on December 17, 1816, to complete Clopton's term. He was re-elected to a full term the following spring.[11]
While the Democratic-Republicans had a historical platform of states' rights, they had begun to adopt nationalist tendencies. In the wake of the War of 1812, Congress was pushing to fund the states' reconstruction and infrastructure projects. Tyler held fast to his strict constructionist beliefs, rejecting such proposals on both constitutional and personal grounds. Virginia was not "in so poor a condition as to require a charitable donation from Congress," he contended.[11] He was chosen to participate in an audit of the Second Bank of the United States in 1818 as part of a five-person committee, and was appalled by perceived corruption within the bank. He argued for the annulment of the bank charter, although Congress rejected any such proposal. His first clash with then-General Andrew Jackson followed Jackson's 1818 invasion of Florida during the First Seminole War. While praising Jackson's character, Tyler condemned the general's zealous behavior and his execution of two British subjects. Tyler was re-elected without opposition in early 1819.[12]
The defining issue of the Sixteenth Congress (1819–21) was the admission of Missouri to the Union, and whether slavery would be permitted in the new state.[13] Tyler was a slaveholder for his entire life, at one point keeping forty slaves at Greenway. While he regarded slavery as an evil, and never attempted to justify it, he never agreed with national emancipation, and never freed any of his slaves even at the dawn of the Civil War. The living conditions of his slaves are not well documented, but historians agree that he cared for their well-being and abstained from physical violence against them.[14]
Tyler was a leader in opposing the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which would for the first time establish national boundaries for the establishment of slavery. In his view, the compromise served only to diminish and divide the states, while unnecessarily expanding federal authority. Acknowledging the ills of slavery, he argued that allowing it in Missouri would attract existing slave-owners from Southern states, dissipating the population of slaves and reducing each state's reliance on the practice. Thus, in his view, emancipation would occur organically at the state level without federal intervention. He voted against the Missouri Compromise—which passed regardless—and all bills which would restrict slavery in new territories.[13]
Tyler declined to seek renomination to Congress in late 1820, citing illness. He privately acknowledged his dissatisfaction with the office, as his opposing votes were largely symbolic and did little to change the political culture in Washington; he also observed that funding his children's education would be difficult on a Congressman's low salary.

December 17, 1838: ELIZABETH HARRISON was born February 28, 1772 in Caswell Co., NC and died December 17, 1838. She married Samuel SMITH Jr. on May 15, 1792 in Caswell Co., NC.
December 17, 1865: The surviving members of the Twenty-fourth Regiment of Iowa Volunteer Infantry assembled in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on December 17, 1865. (1885) Twenty years had passed since the Temperance Regiment had been mustered out of service. Nostalgia enveloped the proceedings as the veterans gathered in front of a large oil portrait, draped with the tattered and worn battle flag of the regiment, of Colonel John Q. Wilds. Ed Wright was the guest of honor. Wright had been breveted brigadier general prior to the mustering out, and distinguished officer had continued his career of public service in civilian life. General Wright had been elected to the Iowa’s State General Assembly, where he was chosen Speaker of the House. Although every company was represented at the evening roll call, fewer than 200 members were present. nThe aging survivors tole a glowing story of their three years of service. Not until three o’clock in the morning was the glorious record of the old 24th completely recounted. While the reminiscences suffered from the clouded memories of veterans proud of difficult service, the historic record of the fighting regiment needed no embellishment.
The soldiers who had served in the 24th Iowa, in many respects, mirrored the image of most Iowa soldiers in the Civil War. The recruits were small farmers or mechanics, merchants, lawyers, students, and teachers who lived in Iowa’s small rural villages. The average age of the regiment was 25 years. This average is nearly a year younger than the one Wiley gives for 1862 in Life of Billy Yank. The large number of Cornell College student s who enlisted in Company B accounts for part of the youthful average. The younhgest member of the regiment was Colonel Byam’s son, Commodore Perry Byam, who was listed on the muster rol as being twelve, As with many Civil War drummer boys, Commondore becamke a legendary figure to the regiment, and a Des Moines Tribue artivle of his death in February, 1922, reported he was the youngest drummer boy to serve in the Civil War. If Commodore was indeed sixty nine when he died in 1922, he would have been only nine years old when hi enlisted in the 24th Iowa. As Wiley pointed out, however, the claim to “Youngest Yank” would be impossible to establish. Young Byam was discharged for disability on July 26 1863, at Vicksburg, Mississippi.The date corresponded with the similar discharge of his father and older brother Charles, the regiment’s adjutant, thougnh only Colonel byam’s third son, William, enlisted at seventeen as a drummer in Company G and served untgil he was musgtered out on July 17, 1865, in Savannah, Georgia.
The honor of being the oldest recruit was jointly shared by Dr. John M. Witherwax and First lieutenant Thomas Green. Both men were fifty-one when they resigned for disability. Green resigned during the Vicksburg Campaing, and Witherwax resigned while the regiment was serving in the Shenandoah Valley. Fifty four men who enlisted in the Temperance Regiment were between forty and forty five years old. The number whose age fell in the thirty’s range totaled 244. Volunteers between twenty and twenty nine comprised the largest number, totaling 607. Teenagers enlisting numbered 296. Mirroring Wiley’s figures, the eighteen year olds were the largest age group, nbumbering 168; twenty one year olds followed with a total of 112
Despite its youthful statistics, the regiment had many men leave wives and children to enlist, and several fathers served together with their sons. Ovwer eighty per cent of the regiment listed their nativity as Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, or one of the New England States, reflecting the recent patternj of settlement in Iowa. Scotland, Germany, Ireland, England, and Cananda accounted for most fo the foreign born in the regiment. However, Switzerland, Belgium, Nova Scotia, Bohemia, Norway, and South wales were also listed.
Most of the men of the 24th had not been caught up in the first emotional appeal for troops. Some experienced veterans did, however, join the regiment. Appointed Lieutenant Cololnel, John Q. Wilds, a former dcaptain in the 13th Iowa, had been wounded at the Battle of Shiloh. Colonel Byam’s son Charles, the regimant’s adjutant, had had his leg shattered while serving with the 6th Iowa. Private Ezra Webb had seen service with the 11th Iowa in Missouri , and he had been discharged for disability after the Battle of Shiloh. When these battle-tested veterans joined the 24th, they no longer held a romantic view of warfare.
Although many Civil War regiments were religiously inspired, the 24th Iowa was the only known Methodist “Temperance Regiment.” The unit’s organizer, Reverend Eber Byuam, was a respected temperance worker in east-central Iowa. He was probabloy correct in his claim that the regiment’s termerance ideals caused many to volunteer woul would not have otherwise. The popularity of a Temperance Regiment was evidenced by the fract that more than twice the number of companies sought acceptance than were needed. With the aid of Governor Kirkwood, Colonel Byam selected ten companies which they felt represented the Methosist ideazls of temperance. The selection was done apparently more on the basis of company commanders than on any real scrutiny of individual recruits. Governor Kirkwood was apparently thwarted in his attempt to organize a second temperance regiment from the companies that Byam had rejected. Secretary of War Stanton, in correspondence with the governor in the Official Records, stated that a new temperance regiment would not be entitiled to the federal bounty unless all the other regiments were full and replacements had been recruited for those Iowa regiments already in the dfield. To avoid the humiliation of a draft for replacements and to insure the companies that had already been raised received their bounty, Kirkwood apparently divided these companies among the regiments still forming which lacked a full roster of ten companies.
Of the ten companies accepted by Byam, five were captained by Methodist ministers. And two were headed by ministers’sons. Unlike Byam who was absent much of the time and who faltered under fire in the Vicksburg Campaing, these men of the cloth proved able field officers and were revered by the men who served under them. Of the original company commanders, only two survived to be mustered out at Savannah. Captain Leander Clark had attained the rani of lieutenant colonel, and Captain James Martin was acting as major. Both officers had been ministers prior to joining the regiment. Twenty three officers resigned form the 24th Iowa. Most resignations were due to illness; however, Captain Henderson resigned to accept a position lieutenant colonel in the 44th Iowa after the Battle of Vicksburg. Nine officers were killed in the line of duty and died of wounds; three died of disease. Five officers were captured. Although the change in commanders was substantial, such transition was not uncommon, especially among regiments that saw as much action as sdid the 24th Iowa.
The temperance rules forbidding drinking of any alcoholic bereages were strickly enforced by Colonel Byam. Temperance cventered around the prohibition of all intoxicatin liquors to insure an atmosphere of good moral character in the regiment. Drunkards were often bucked and gagged, and even card players suffered fines, extra duty, and demotion. Byams resignation tempered the rules but certainly did not change the chacter of the 24th. Although Lieutenant Colonel Wilds, who succeeded the first commander, was not known as a termperance worker, he did expel a sutler for openly selling liquor to some of the regiments backsliders. At least one private was court-martialled for repeatedly returning to camp intoxicated. Occasionally a whiskey ration was distributed on long marches or during tiring construction of fortification. On holidays beer was sometimes sold to the enlisted men, but the problems with alcohol which plagued some Union commands were never prevalent in the 24th. It would not be proper, however, to claim that the 24th Iowa was any better or any worse, because of its temperance, that the other fighting regiments in the Civil War.
The temperance characteristic was probably retained more because of the Methodist background of most of the men in the 24th Iowa, than because of the rules and regulations imposed by the officers. Through out their three years of service, Sunday church services and weekly prayer meeting were always well attended by the men. When a chaplain was not present or a local preacher would not speak, one of the captains would assume his old civiliam role of preaxcher and deliver the sermon. Captain James Martin was probably most remembered for gathering the survivors of the terrible Battle of Champion’s Hill for a customary prayer after the sad calling of the roll. These men were fundamentalist who took their religion seriousxly. Although the pious among them were often shocked by sertain indiscretions, the rogues of the temperance regiment were probably far from exceptional problem.
The 24th Iowa was one of only three Iowa regiments to serve in botyh the Western and Eastern Theaters. The 22nd, 28th, and 24th Iowa shared a similar fate of fighting in a number of departments under a variety of commanders. The 24th viewed General Grant as their most able commander., followed almost equally by General Sherican General Sherman. General McClernand, the regiments’s first corps commander, was well liked, but the men did not seem to be overawed by this political general and adjusted readikly to his replacement by Genreal Ord. Western commanders were readily accepted, by eastern generals were viewed with disfdain. The most detersted commander that the regiment served under was General Banks, uneder whose command the 24th suffered its first defeat in battle. The XIII Corps wasz disbanded after the Red River Campaing, and the 24th was one of the few western regiments transferred to tnhe XIX Corps, which was comprised mostly of eastern regiments.
The harshest criticism by the regiment was reserved for commanders who protected Confederate property while profiting from cottn confiscation and speculation. The Vicksburg Campaign made the 24th master foragers, and wherever they marched, Confederate property suffered. The marching ability of the Iowans rivaled any regiment with which it served, and the hawkeyes rarly complained as long as the pace of the march was not too rapid to allow occasional jayhawking.
The courage of the regiment stood the test of battle. Though superior forces occasionally broke the 24th’s ranks, the scattered elemnts remained on the field, often fighting with other units or rallying once again around it own banner until the enemy fire took a heavy tol in officers and men. The original colonel was broken physically, and his courage was criticized. Lieutenant Colonel Wilds proved an able replacement when Colonel Byam resigned. Wilds lost his life in the regiment’s final battle at Cedar Creek. Major Wright, the regiment’s last commander, was himself wounded three times in battle. Com[pany officers paid a heavy price for their courage, as evidenced by Second Sergeant Charles Lucas’ rise to the rank of captain due to the death or resignation for disability of his superiosr. Seven captain and four first lieutenants were killed or died of wounds suffered in combat. The number of killed and wounded amounted to 10.6 per cent of the regiments total enrollments. The total number of battle casualties equaled 476. In the toal deaths due to wounds, disease, accidents, and imprisonment, the 24th ranked third highest among Iowa regiments.
As disease and battle took their toll, the attitudes of the Iowans hardened against the South. Political feeling which had run the gamut from Peace Democrat to Radical Republican, became more radical and less moderate. The Union party candidates in eashelection reflected the sentiments of those still in Iowa. The men’s nineteenth century attitude toward Negroes remained, however, one of freedom but not equality.
Like most norther soldiers, the Iowans had had little contact with Negroes prior to their arrival in the South. The first encounters produced marvel and awe at the “foreign” creatures. The regiment delighted in freeing the Negroes from the bonds of slavery, but at the same time they saw nothing wrong with relegatin many to the sevant class for little more than room and board. Supporting the sentinement in Governor Kirkwood’s desire to have “some dead niggers as well as dead white men,” the 24th enthusiastically approved the use of black troops, and a few even applied to command these new Negro regiments.
They generally discounted the ability of black regiments and were thoroughly amazed at the quality of the South Carolina Colored Regiment that relieved the 24th at Augusta, Georgia. After being shoked by such aspects ofr slavery as the auction block and master’ cruelties, many felt that black reconstruction was perfect justice. The Iowans also returned home with bitter memories of their treatment by southern whites in Louisiana and Georgia.
With little fanfare these citizen soldiers returned to Iowa and returned to their civilian occupations. Officially, only recorded troop movements, battle reports, and company rosters noted the history of one of Iowa’s most interesting regiments. The story of the 24th was preserved most appropriately in the diaries and letters of the common soldiers who served their country, not for adventure of glory, but out of a deep sense of duty to their country.

December 17, 1906: Roosevelt nominated Moody as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and Moody was confirmed December 17, 1906.[4]
Moody's service on the Court was brief but not uneventful, writing 67 opinions and 5 dissents. His most noted opinion was in the minority in Employers Liability Cases (1908), where he held that Congress' power to regulate interstate commerce included the ability to legislate management's relationship with employees. While he generally supported enhanced federal powers, opinions as Twining v. New Jersey (1908), where he held that the Fifth Amendment's protection against compulsory self-incrimination did not apply to cases presented in state courts, made him hard to pigeonhole. He also wrote for a unanimous court in the famous case of Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co. v. Mottley, which limited federal question jurisdiction to cases in which the plaintiff's cause of action was based on federal law. :

December 17, 1912: It was necessary to create leadership among the congregation by organization and definite assignments for work. The pastor called together the young folks. “Let’s have an Epworth League,” he said. He was greeted by a chorus of “Oh, no’s!”
“Impossible,” said one. “It can’t be done!” Said another. “We had a League and it died out,” came the final dismal wail.

1913: The report of the Palestine Royal Commission (British) quotes and account of the condition of the coastal plain along the Mediterranean Sea in 1913: “The road leading from Gaza to the north was only a summer track suitable for transport by camels and carts…no orange groves, orchards, or vineyards were to be seen until one reached Yavne village…houses were all of mud. Schools did not exist…. The western part, towards the sea was almost a desert…The Villages in this area were few and thinly populated…many villages were deserted by their inhabitants.”
The French author Voltaire described Palestine as “a hopes, dreary place,” In short, under the Turks, the land suffered both from neglect and a low population.

December 17, 1941: Kimmel was relieved of his command by Admiral W. S. Pye, former commander of the Battle Force, most of which was now lying in the Pearl Harbor mud. On Pye's orders, the Lexington force was ordered to cancel a raid on Makin - in the Gilberts - and sail northeast to support Saratoga and the Wake relief force. Meanwhile, Fletcher, instructed to keep his ships well-fueled in preparedness for any surface action, made slow progress towards Wake, unable to sail faster than his oiler Neches: on average, 12 knots.
December 17, 1942: An Allied declaration is made condemning the Nazis’ “bestial policy of cold-blooded extermination.”
December 17, 1962 In a television and radio interview, JFK offers some of his thoughts on the crisis. He observes that "if we had to act on Wednesday [October 17] in the first twenty-four hours, I don't think we would have chosen as prudently as we finally did." He characterizes the Soviet attempt to install missiles in Cuba as "an effort to materially change the balance of power...Itwould have appeared to, and appearances contribute to reality." JFK compares the miscalculations leading to the Cuban missile crisis with those e misjudgments that had led to World Wars I and II. When "you see the Soviet Union and the United States, so far separated in their beliefs...and you putthe nuclear equation into that struggle; that is what makes this...such a dangerous time...One mistake canmake this whole thing blow up.”
