December 20, 69: General Vespasianus occupied Rome on the same day that the Emperor Vitellius was murdered. Vespasianus is better known as Vespasian, the Roman general who was in charge of putting down the Great Revolt in Judea. He broke off his military action to come back to Rome and seize power. His son Titus would destroy the Temple in 70. Before leaving for Rome, Vespasian gave permission for the establishment of what would become the community of scholars at Yavneh.[1]

1568:]The Bishops’ Bible (1568) produced by Coverdale[3], had a large portrait of Queen Elizabeth on its title page. This action was an indication that she had lent strong support to their efforts.[4] Between 1568 and 1602, the Bishop’ Bible went through seventeen editions. The Geneva Bible remained the favorite for home and personal use and far outweighed the Bishops’ Bible both in popularity and longevity.[5]

December 20, 1583: Arden is executed at London, and Somerville hangs himself in prison.



About this time, Walsingham having had some hints of the designs of Morgan and Paget, causes Sir Francis Throckmorton to be arrested, and cites before the council Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, and the Earl of Arundel. [6]



1584. — The Earls of Northumberland and Arundel contrive in some sort to acquit themselves of any share in the conspiracy lately discovered ; but Sir Francis Throckmorton, being put to the torture, confessed that the Duke of Guise and Don Bernard de Mendoça, then ambassador from Spain at London, had communicated to him the plan of invasion.



Burleigh accused Mendoça of being concerned in a conspiracy against the state, and ordered him, on the part of Elizabeth, to quit the kingdom. The ambassador immediately left London, and retired to France, there to await his sovereign's commands.



Notwithstanding all these occurrences, Mary persisted in declaring her ignorance of all that had been planned in her favour. [7]



1584 – Thomas Smythe Elected Proctor.[8]

The expedition set sail in three small ships, the Discovery, the Susan Constant and the Godspeed, on December 20, 1606. His page was a 12-year-old boy named Samuel Collier.[2]

During the voyage, Smith was charged with mutiny, and Captain Christopher Newport (in charge of the three ships) had planned to execute him. [11]

December 20, 1757, ViMtV). The official deeds(to Mt. Vernon) were not immediately signed and recorded in court because the property was held under right of dower by Darrell's mother, Ann, for her lifetime; only after her death would it revert to Darrell as a surviving son. Thus, although GW owned Darrell's rights to the land, he could not obtain the deeds until Ann died or rented the land to him. [14]

The Board wrote the following Letter to the Executive Dated December 23 1782

SIR



We received your Excellencies favour of the 16th’ of October by Mr Netherland Novr 24th and yours of the 4th of Novr by Colo. Buford the 18th Inst and shall pay due attention to their contents. Gen(1) Clark has consulted the Board with regard to erecting Posts at the Mouths of Kantucky Licking & Limestone, in consequence of your Excellancys orders to him on maturely considering the affair, We are of opinion that a Fort at the Mouth of Kantucky would be of great service to the Country and may be more easaly supported than one at Licking, that a Fourt at the mouth of Licking would not be an effectual security to the Inhabitants of Fayette as it is more than 6o Miles distance from them & the Indians not being oblidged to come that way, they may penetrate into the Country without the Garrison having it in their power either to prevent them or warn the Inhabitants of their danger that to the greater part of the Enemy Indians the mouth of Kantucky is more immediately in their course, and a Fort there would cover the Inhabitants of Jefferson Lincoln & Fayette to more advantage than either of the others proposed—and by it the watter carrage from the Ohio to the internal parts of both the Counties of Lincoln & Fayette would in some measure be sup­ported, Drenings Salt Lick a place of great consequence would be commanad by it which would greatly distress the Enemy as it is much resorted to by them for game, here they kill and cure meat to serve them in their incursions, for these reasons the Board advised the Gen’ to have a Fort erected at the mouth of Kantucky as soon as posible, they look upon the mouth of Limestone which is further up the river, more out of the way of the Indians and much more dificult to supply with provisions to be still more inconvenient, but if a post is thought necessary in that Quarter the blue Licks on Licking for the same reasons that were given about Drenings Lick may be a proper place, but it is our opinion that neither the state of you Treasury, nor the State of this Country are equal to the expence of money to support three additional Posts, nor to furnish men if to be Garrisoned by the Militia, When we arrived in this Country the 24~ of October all the officers civil & Military & the generality of the men being engaged under Gen1 Clark in an Expe­dition against the Miami Indians we found that little could be done untill the return of the Troops, Notwithstanding the Board met at Harodsburg the first of November with design to get in what Ac­counts they could, afterwards went over to Lexington in Fayette County with the same intent and there prepared Letters for Genl & Clark the Militia Offers Debtors to the State &cc. In that to Gen­eral Clark he is required to lay before us copies of the orders & Instructions, he had given either to Quartermasters Pay Masters Commissaries Contractors Agents in the commercial department or superintendents of Indian affairs, and informing him We call upon all who have been concerned in the disbursements of public Monies to appear with their Accounts & the proper Vouchers for their expenditures; That those who have drawn Bills are required to attend with their powers for drawing &c: and those who have commanded Posts are to make out returns of the strength of their Men from Time to Time that we may be able to judge of the ex­penditures In return to which the Board received a Letter from Gen’ Clark assuring them of his chearfully complying with our re­quest, as it was what he earnestly wished for; that some persons alluded to in theirs did not come— within his line in the settlement of their Accounts as John Dodge Commercial Agent Cob Will. Harrison purchaser for the Campaign Eighty one & Capt~ Rowland Madison Quarter Master &c: As the Gen’~ Papers are at Louis­ville we can not enter into a thorough investigation of his Accounts till we sit at that place, and the parties concerned are collected, We have despatched a Messenger to Kaskaskias and St Vincent and wrote to Cob. Montgomery, Dodge &c: and ordered MT Madison to lay his accounts before us and expect to be at Louisville before the return of our Messenger from ye Illinois Country, Capt~ George went with the Chickesaw Indians to their Towns and is not yet returned, Cob. Harrison, Cob. Lynn, Cob Todd and MT Lindsay are all killed; Their affairs will require time to investigate & great care to come at the truth, as some of them have kept no regular accounts, these reasons have prevented us from advanceing in the business with that Expedition we could wish. They Survyors Offices in Fayette and Jefferson Counties being opened to recieve Land Warrants the attention of the People is so much engaged as greatly to retard the getting the Militia Accounts settled. Our Letters to the County Lieutenants required them to order Pay Rolls of their different Comp~ or Parties of their Militia that have been on actual service and which have not been settled by the State, to be made out, and after having been attested by the Capt~ or Com­manding officer on Oath and certified by them to be laid before the Board. All Commissaries Accounts or others furnishing provissions by their Orders with proper Vouchers are likewise to be laid before us, also Vouchers for Provisions and other articles impressed for the use of their Militia, and when Vouchers cannot be had Witnesses to prove facts are to attend, We expected by this method to have settled the Militia accounts with expedition, but calling on the County Lieutenant of Lincoln for his returns, he informed us he could not now attend, as his business called him to wait on the N. Carolina Com­missioners at Cumberland. Your Excellencys Letter of NovT the 41h informs us that many demands have been made by MT Nathan and some others for payment of Bills drawn on the Treasurer or Governour of this State, by Cob Todd & Gen1 Clark, and that from the enormity of the sums demanded and the high price of every article where an Account has been rendered, there is just cause to suspect that the goods were bought for depreciated Money, and that some advantage has been taken of the Drawers, And that it now rests with us to take such measures as may be in our power to investigate the truth which you requst we will do as soon as posible and give our opinion at large. We beg leave to observe that we are not furnished with a list of the Bills in whose favour drawn the sums drawn for, nor the invoices or accounts referred to by your Excellency there must be an oversight in the Clerk not transmiting such necessary copies. Genl Clark informs us that he is altogether a stranger to what Bills Cob. Todd drew, and that he cannot at present charge his memory with what Bills he has drawn himself. so that until he can have recourse to his papers at Louisville he can only refer your Excellency to his certificate upon the Scale of De…[24]



December 20, 1785



On December 20, 1785, John Crawford and Hannah, his mother leased the “Landing on the Yough” to William McCormick, (husband to Effie, daughter to Hannah and Col. William, sister to Lt. John Crawford). No doubt Effie and her family resided here for quite a awhile, on the home place, with her mother, after her father was killed. One or two of Effie’s children are reputed to have been born here. In 1785, when the above lease was signed, John Crawford, doubtlessly was looking westward. His widowed mother, about sixty two years of age at the time, without the security of a well deserved pension; the lease of her lands to her son-in-law, with her daughter nearby, was possibly the best answer to this situation. John would feel more at ease upon leaving, knowing that his mother was sufficiently cared for.[25]



1786 treaty

The colonial charters for New York and Massachusetts both described their boundaries as extending westward to the Pacific Ocean, but used distances from coastal rivers as their baselines, and thus both could claim the same land. The area in dispute included all of western New York State west of, approximately, Seneca Lake, extending all the way to the Niagara River and Lake Erie, and from the shore of Lake Ontario to the Pennsylvania border. New York and Massachusetts agreed to divide the rights in question. The states agreed that all of the land in question, about 6 million acres (24,000 km²), would be recognized as part of New York State. Massachusetts, in return, obtained the right of preemption, that is, the title to all of the land (except for a narrow strip along the Niagara River, the title to which was recognized to belong to New York), giving it the exclusive right to extinguish by purchase the possessory rights of the Indian tribes. The compact also provided that Massachusetts could sell or assign its preemptive rights, and in 1788 it sold its rights to the entire six million acres (24,000 km²) to Oliver Phelps and Nathaniel Gorham for $1,000,000, payable in specie or in certain Massachusetts securities then trading at about 20 cents on the dollar, the money used to repay some of the state's debt from the Revolutionary War. See also: Phelps and Gorham Purchase, Holland Land Company, The Holland Purchase, The Morris Reserve and The Pulteney Association. Similar western boundary issues involving these and other states were resolved by the Northwest Ordinance passed by the Congress of the Confederation in July 1787.[26]

1786: Hardy county was formed with Moorefield, its county seat. It became the leading county of beef production in Virginia and one of the leading counties in the U.S. Short horned cattle were raised in these parts and and were driven by hoof over one hundred miles to cities in the east like Baltimore and others.[27]





December 20, 1788: Brother Washington became Worshipful Master on December 20, 1788, and was inaugurated President of the United States on April 30, 1789, thus becoming the first, and so far the only, Brother to be simultaneously President and Master of his Lodge.[28]

December 20, 1802: Letter from Thomas Gibbons, a Federalist planter of Georgia, to Jonathan Dayton states that Sally Hemings "is half sister to his first wife." 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." [31]

December 20, 1803: The Louisiana Purchase is completed at a ceremony in New Orleans as huge swath of land stretching from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains became part of the United States.[32]

December 20, 1830: Kirkwood, Samuel Jordan, a Senator from Iowa: born in Harford County, Md., December 20, 1813; clerked in a drug store and taught school; moved to Mansfield, Richmond County, Ohio, in 1835 and continued teaching until 1840; studied law; admitted to the bar in 1843 and commenced practice in Mansfield; prosecuting attorney of Richland County 1845-1849; member of the State constitutional convention in 1850 and 1851; moved to Coralville, Johnson County, Iowa, in 1855 and engaged in the milling business; member, State senate 1856-1859; Governor of Iowa 1860-1864; appointed by President Abraham Lincoln as Minister to Denmark in 1863, but declined; elected as a Republican to the United States Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of James Harlan.[33]

December 20, 1860

The Southern Confederacy is formed[35] as South Carolina becomes the first state to secede from the Union.[36] Citing the Northern states refusal to enforce federal fugitive slave laws, and the election of Abraham Lincoln, who opposes the spread of slavery, the state declares “All hope of remedy is rendered vain.”[37]

December 20, 1861: The death of Queen Victoria's beloved husband, Prince Albert, who died from typhoid on December 14, 1861 at Windsor Castle, at the age of 42.

On 20 December, Queen Victoria wrote to her uncle King Leopold of

Belgium:: … to be cut off in the prime of life - to see our pure happy, quiet domestic life,

which alone enabled me to bear my much disliked position, cut off at forty-two

- when I had hoped with such instinctive certainty that God never would part

us, and would let us grow old together ... - is too awful, too cruel![40]

Letter to the recently widowed Earl Canning, Osborne, January 10, 1862

Lord Canning little thought when he wrote his kind and touching letter of the

22nd November, that it would only reach the Queen when she was smitten

and bowed down to the earth by an event similar to the one which he

describes ... To lose one's partner in life is, as Lord Canning knows, like losing

half of one's body and soul, torn forcibly away - and dear Lady Canning was

such a dear, worthy, devoted wife! But to the Queen - to a poor helpless

woman - it is not that only - it is the stay, support and comfort which is lost! To

the Queen it is like death in life! Great and small - nothing was done without

his loving advice and help - and she feels alone in the wide world, with many

helpless children ... to look to her - and the whole nation to look to her - now

when she can barely struggle with her wretched existence! Her misery - her

utter despair - she cannot describe! Her only support - the only ray of comfort

she gets for a moment, is in the firm conviction and certainty of his nearness,

his undying love, and of their eternal reunion!

May God comfort and support Lord Canning, and may he think in his sorrow

of his widowed and broken-hearted Sovereign ... [41]

Golden Jubilee: June 21, 1887, at Buckingham Palace

This very eventful day has come and is passed. It will be very difficult to

describe it, but all went off admirably. This day, fifty years ago, I had to go

with a full Sovereign's escort to St James's Palace, to appear at my

proclamation, which was very painful to me, and is no longer to take place.

The morning was beautiful and bright with a fresh air. Troops began passing

early with bands playing, and one heard constant cheering ... The scene

outside was most animated, and reminded me of the opening of the Great

Exhibition, which also took place on a very fine day. Received many beautiful

nosegays and presents ... Then dressed, wearing a dress and bonnet

trimmed with white point d'Alençon, diamond ornaments in my bonnet, and

pearls around my neck, with all my orders.

At half-past eleven we left the Palace, I driving in a handsomely gilt landau

drawn by six of the Creams, with dear Vicky (her eldest daughter) and Alex

(her daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales), who sat on the back seat. Just in

front of my carriage rode the 12 Indian officers, and in front of them my 3

sons, 5 sons-in-law, 9 grandsons and grandsons-in-law. Then came the

carriages containing my 3 other daughters ... All the other Royalties went in a

separate procession. George Cambridge rode the whole way next to my

carriage, and the Master of the Horse, Equerries, etc., behind it with of course

a Sovereign's escort. It was a really magnificent sight ...

At the door (of Westminster Abbey) I was received by the clergy, with the

Archbishop of Canterbury and Dean at their head, in the copes of rich velvet

and gold, which had been worn at the Coronation ... The crowds from the

Palace gates up to the Abbey were enormous, and there was such an

extraordinary outburst of enthusiasm as I had hardly ever seen in London

before; all the people seemed to be in such good humour. The old Chelsea

Pensioners were in a stand near the Arch. The decorations along Piccadilly

were quite beautiful, and there were most touching inscriptions. Seats and

platforms were arranged up to the tops of the houses, and such waving of

hands ... Many schools out, and many well-known faces were seen.

When all was ready, the procession was formed ... God Save the Queen was

played ... as I walked slowly up the Nave and Choir, which looked beautiful, all

filled with people. The Royalties of highest rank were seated within the altar

rails. The House of Commons was below us to the left, and I recognised

several persons amongst them, but did not see Mr Gladstone, thought he was

there. The Ambassadors and the Household were to the right.

I sat alone (oh! without my beloved husband, for whom this would have been

such a proud day!) where I sat forty-nine years ago and received the homage

of the Princes and Peers, but in the old Coronation Chair of Edward III, with

the old stone brought from Scotland, on which the old Kings of Scotland used

to be crowned. My robes were beautifully draped on the chair. The service

was very well done and arranged. The Te Deum, by my darling Albert,

sounded beautiful ... When the service was concluded, each of my sons,

sons-in-law, grandsons (including little Alfred), and grandsons-in-law, stepped

forward, bowed, and in succession kissed my hand, I kissing each; and the

same with the daughters, daughters-in-law, grand-daughters, and the

granddaughter-in-law. They curtsied as they came up and I embraced them

warmly. It was a very moving moment, and tears were in some of their eyes.

The procession then reformed, and we went out as we came in, resting a

moment in the waiting-room, whilst the Princes were all getting on their

horses. The whole ceremony, particularly the outside procession and

progress, took twenty minutes longer than was expected ... There were many

stoppages, which is almost unavoidable in long processions ... The heat of the

sun was very great, but there was a good deal of wind, which was a great

relief ... We only got back at a quarter to three. Went at once to my room to

take off my bonnet and put on my cap. Gave Jubilee brooches to all my

daughters ... and pins to all my sons ...

Only at four did we sit down to luncheon, to which all came. The King of

Saxony led me in, and the King of Denmark with Marie of Belgium sat on my

other side. After luncheon, I stood on the small balcony of the Blue Room,

which looks out on the garden, and saw the Bluejackets march past. After this

we went into the small Ball-room, where the present given me by all my

children was placed. It is a very handsome piece of plate. The Queen of

Hawaii gave me a present of very rare feathers, but very strangely arranged

as a wreath about my monogram, also in feathers on a black ground, framed.

I felt quite exhausted by this time and ready to faint, so I got into my rolling

chair and was rolled back to my room. Here I lay down on the sofa and rested,

doing nothing but opening telegrams, coming from every part of the country,

so that they could no longer be acknowledged, and this will have to be done

through the papers.

Dinner was again in the Supper-room. I wore a dress with rose, thistle, and

shamrock embroidered in silver on it, and my large diamonds. The King of

Denmark led me in, and I sat between him and Leopold of Belgium. The King

of Denmark, who is so kind and amiable, gave out my health at dessert

saying, "I beg to propose the health of Her Majesty - God bless her". And after

God Save the Queen had been played, Bertie (the Prince of Wales) proposed

the healths of the Sovereigns and Royal guests now assembled here, doing

so in my name ... The pipers walked round the table. We went into the Ballroom,

where I spoke to the Indian Princes and received all the Corps

their Princes. I was half dead with fatigue, and after sitting down a moment

with Marie of Belgium, slipped away and was rolled back to my room, and to

the Chinese room to try and see something of the very general illuminations,

but could not see much. The noise of the crowd, which began yesterday, went

on till late. Felt truly grateful that all had passed off so admirably, and this

never-to-be-forgotten day will always leave the most gratifying and heartstirring

memories behind. [42]

Gary and Jeff Goodlove visit Crawfords Cabin, at Stewarts Crossing, late December 2004. This is where Braddocks army crossed June 28-30, 1755. Crawford must have been struck by the beauty of the area, as he crossed with Braddock’s army, because Stewarts Crossing or as he called it, “Spring Garden”, would soon be his home. The area is preparing for its 250th anniversary of the crossing in 2005.



December 2007: The U.S. and the world entered a major recession with untold home foreclosures and bank closures. As of November 18, 2009 the national debt had reached $12 trillion. [59]

December 2007: Army Regulation 220-90, Army Bands dated December 2007, Paragraph 2-5h(1) states the following: “Echo Taps” or “Silver Taps,” the practice of performing “Taps” with multiple buglers, is not authorized. “Echo Taps” is not a part of Army tradition and improperly uses bugler assets.[60]

December 2008: During events to mark the 400th anniversary of Galileo's earliest telescopic observations, Pope Benedict XVI praised his contributions to astronomy.[149] A month later, however, the head of the Pontifical Council for Culture, Gianfranco Ravasi, revealed that the plan to erect a statue of Galileo in the grounds of the Vatican had been suspended.[150]

Impact on modern science

According to Stephen Hawking, Galileo probably bears more of the responsibility for the birth of modern science than anybody else,[151] and Albert Einstein called him the father of modern science.[152][153]

Galileo's astronomical discoveries and investigations into the Copernican theory have led to a lasting legacy which includes the categorisation of the four large moons of Jupiter discovered by Galileo (Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto) as the Galilean moons. Other scientific endeavours and principles are named after Galileo including the Galileo spacecraft,[154] the first spacecraft to enter orbit around Jupiter, the proposed Galileo global satellite navigation system, the transformation between inertial systems in classical mechanics denoted Galilean transformation and the Gal (unit), sometimes known as the Galileo which is a non-SI unit of acceleration.

International Year of Astronomy commemorative coin

Partly because 2009 was the fourth centenary of Galileo's first recorded astronomical observations with the telescope, the United Nations scheduled it to be the International Year of Astronomy.[155] A global scheme was laid out by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), also endorsed by UNESCO—the UN body responsible for Educational, Scientific and Cultural matters. The International Year of Astronomy 2009 was intended to be a global celebration of astronomy and its contributions to society and culture, stimulating worldwide interest not only in astronomy but science in general, with a particular slant towards young people.

Asteroid 697 Galilea is named in his honour.

In artistic and popular media

Galileo is mentioned several times in the "opera" section of the Queen song, "Bohemian Rhapsody".[156] He features prominently in the song "Galileo" performed by the Indigo Girls.

Twentieth-century plays have been written on Galileo's life, including Life of Galileo (1943) by the German playwright Bertolt Brecht, with a film adaptation (1975) of it, and Lamp At Midnight (1947) by Barrie Stavis,[157] as well as the 2008 play "Galileo Galilei".[158]

Kim Stanley Robinson wrote a science fiction novel entitled Galileo's Dream (2009), in which Galileo is brought into the future to help resolve a crisis of scientific philosophy; the story moves back and forth between Galileo's own time and a hypothetical distant future.[159]

Galileo Galilei was recently selected as a main motif for a high value collectors' coin: the €25 International Year of Astronomy commemorative coin, minted in 2009. This coin also commemorates the 400th anniversary of the invention of Galileo's telescope. The obverse shows a portion of his portrait and his telescope. The background shows one of his first drawings of the surface of the moon. In the silver ring other telescopes are depicted: the Isaac Newton Telescope, the observatory in Kremsmünster Abbey, a modern telescope, a radio telescope and a space telescope. In 2009, the Galileoscope was also released. This is a mass-produced, low-cost educational 2-inch (51 mm) telescope with relatively high quality.

PASSED AWAY AT RIPE OLD AGE



Wm. H. Goodlove, Another Old Soldier and Settler, Died Jan. 18 A Sketch of His Life



The hand on the dial of life had entered into the section which marked the eightieth year of Wm. Goodlove, who came to the home of Corad [Conrad] and Catherine Goodlove, Oct. 22, 1836 in Clark county, O. He helped to make merry the play life of the two brothers and three sisters and one half‐brother, who had already come into that home. One by one these play mates of childhood days, except one sister, Mary A. Davis of Columbus. O., who has reached the mark of 87 years, have preceeded [preceded] the deceased into the other room of the many mansioned home. The first sixteen years of his life were spent romping over the familiar spots in his native state. In company with his father and step‐mother he came to West Union, Fayette county, Iowa, at the age of sixteen. Only a year were they at that point when they removed to Wild Cat Grove near Marion in 1853. At the time of his majority he took for a life companion Miss Esther J. Winans, Nov. 5 1857. But this life companionship was not to continue long, for during the seventh year of their wedded life and while he was serving his country as one of her bravest and best, she was called to the endless life. He alone survived her. In 1862 Mr. Goodlove put his life on his country’s altar and enlisted in Co. 24, Iowa Infantry. Here as a private soldier he put his characteristic energy and faithfulness into his duties as a true patriot, which terminated in a broken health. About a year after the close of the war he sought the hand and heart of Sarah C. Pyle, and on June 20 1866, in Hastings, Minn. They plighted their faith to each other. To make glad their home six children came: Nettie, Oscar, Willis, Cora, Earl and Jessie. The first to break the ties of the happy group was Nettie, who had married Mr. Gray of San Antonio, Tex., when she departed this life, in September, 1911. Scarcely four years have slipped away since the deceased and his beloved companion came to make Central City their home. They brought their church letters with them and united with the Methodist church by transfer from the Prairie Chapel organization. When a young man, Mr. Goodlove experience conversion and gave his sincere and earnest efforts to the work of the church which he loved and to which he was faithful till death called him to a higher service January 17, 1916. For several weeks past he has been grappling with a disease which he was unable to combat. He fought a good fight, and has gained the crown laid up for those who love the lord. His service to his country in the Civil War endured him to the boys in Blue, and this fellowship which remained till the last, was shown by his loyalty to the Marvin Mills Post of which he was a member. Mr. Goodlove’s christian profession was exemplified in his daily life. He was a true companion to his help mate who was the recipient of his thoughtful and unselfish kindness. His children have the joy and blessing of a loving father to linger with them. He leaves to glory over his victorious life a faithful wife, five children, 20 grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and a host of good friends. The service was held at the M. E. Church Wednesday afternoon in Central City in charge of a former pastor, Rev. Chas. E. Luce, assisted by Rev. Chas. G. Fort. Burial took place a Jordans Grove cemetery.







Thanks for passing this along Linda!

I have found only three Godlove families in 19th century U. S. The earliest and largest group is the descendants of Franz Gottlob. The other two are descendants of Emanuel (1818-1882) and of Moses (ca. 1832-1897). There were 524 Gottliebs and 47 Gottlobs who entered the country through Castle Garden in NY in the 19th century (I have not researched other ports of entry) but only these three families must Anglicized their name. Moses of St. Louis might be the 22-year old Moses Gottlieb who arrived January 11,1855 at Castle Island. The origin given for him is only Germany.







You say Werneck "was a Jewish community." Does that mean a village in which all the residents were Jews or that there was a Jewish community in Werneck? What sources would you recommend to me to learn more about Werneck?



One of your birthdays for December 22 was for Margaret Grant. Who is that? It caught my attention because you mention Judge Didawick's letter in the same post. His wife's name was Margaret Grant. Jacob was 83 when he wrote the letter to Annie Cline, and he was living with his daughter's family in St. Louis after nearly 60 years in Montana. Jim



Jim, Thanks for the Godlove info. I got the info on Werneck on a German websight and translated in using babble fish. Werneck had a Jewish community including synagogue but was not only Jewish. I will find that website tonight. The Grant you asked about is Margaret Gertrude Grant Born December 22, 1917 in St. Thomas, Elgin, Ontario, Canada. died Jun 18, 1980. Married Earl Wiliam Durham.

December 20, 2013: Family ties to Noble Co.

Ancestor was one of the nation’s first Marines

December 20, 2013

ENOCH TWP. -A small group assembled in a windswept hillside cemetery in Noble County Thursday to honor the grave of Philip Hupp, a soldier who participated in a secret mission along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers during the Revolutionary War.

Among those gathered at the graveyard were Marietta safety-service director Jonathan Hupp, his father Gerry Hupp, and Sgt. Rod Hupp with the Marietta Police Department who only recently discovered Philip Hupp is their common ancestor.

"I had no idea we were distant cousins with Rod Hupp," Jonathan said. "But there were a lot of boys in Philip Hupp's family tree, so it probably shouldn't be too much of a surprise."

SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Marietta safety-service director Jonathan Hupp, left, his father Gerry Hupp, and Marietta Police officer Rod Hupp on Thursday placed wreaths on the grave of their ancestor, Philip Hupp, who served with the Continental Marines during the Revolutionary War. The grave is located in Hesson Cemetery in Noble County.

Philip Hupp, a Continental Marine with the 13th Virginia Continental Army, was buried in the Hesson Cemetery along Ohio 564 in Enoch Township in November of 1831. He was 75 years old when he died, according to the grave marker.

Jonathan and his father, both of whom also served in the U.S. Marine Corps, were surprised to learn their ancestor was among the country's first Marines.

"Until two weeks ago they didn't know who their great grandfather (seven times removed) was, nor did they know he served as a Continental Marine on a secret mission on the Ohio River in 1778," said Jean Yost, president of the Marietta Chapter Sons of the American Revolution.


Fact Box

If you go

§ The Hesson Cemetery is located along Ohio 564 in Enoch Township, Noble County.

§ Take the Caldwell exit off I-77 north and turn right on Ohio 78 to the intersection with Ohio 564 (1.5 miles). Turn right and follow Ohio 564 seven miles east. Cemetery is on the left.

While doing some research on the anniversary of the Marine Corps founding, Yost came across the details of the mission that involved 25 volunteers from the 13th Virginia Continentals, including Philip Hupp who would have been 22 years old at the time.

The Marines were to travel down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans, where they were to steal supplies from British loyalists (Tories) and return back upstream to Fort Pitt, according to plans that had been formulated during a secret session of the Commerce Committee of the Continental Congress in late 1777.

According to Yost's research, under command of Marine Capt. James Willing, the group set sail down the Ohio January 10, 1778 from Fort Pitt, present-day Pittsburgh, aboard an armed vessel christened the USS Rattletrap.

In February at Natchez, Miss., Willing and his Marines overtook the town, arrested several Tories, and captured some valuable loot. A few days later an advance party from the Rattletrap captured the Tory ship Rebecca that was "mounted with sixteen guns, four-pounders, and swivels,' Yost said.

Willing and his party finally reached New Orleans in March where they took a huge load of materials.

"Estimates of the value have ranged from $15,000 to $1.5 million," Yost said, adding that it was reported 100 slaves were also taken in the siege.

In June 1779 Philip Hupp had returned to service in the Virginia Continentals under Lt. Robert George and Brigadier Gen. George Rogers Clark at Fort Nelson in Louisville, Ky.

Philip Hupp was discharged in September, 1781. He married Mary Buzzard in Hampshire County, Va. (now West Virginia). The couple lived for a time in the Wheeling area of Ohio County, W.Va., and eventually moved into Ohio around 1800, and lived in Bethel Township, Monroe County, which later became Noble County, according to Yost.

Philip and Mary are both buried in the Hesson Cemetery.

Rod Hupp said he had known of the grave and that his family was related to Philip Hupp through Philip's brother, Daniel Hupp.

"But until Jean Yost contacted us, I had no idea Philip had been involved in a secret mission," Rod said. "My brother, Mike, has done a lot of research into the family history and said we're seven or eight generations removed from Philip. And I find it interesting that he would have been a contemporary with people like Daniel Boone."

Mike Hupp's son, Jacob Hupp, said he, too, was familiar with the gravesite.

"I learned about it from my dad," he said. "He always brought me out here when I was younger. He would tell me this meant I was a real son of the American Revolution."

Gerry Hupp said his father didn't speak much about the family history, so he was quite surprised to learn that he's a direct descendant of Philip Hupp.

"We didn't know a lot about the family, but the more I thought about it, I remembered some bits of conversation about this from my mom back in 1949 and 1950," he said.

Gerry served with the Marine Corps stateside from 1957 to 1961, while his son, Jonathan, served from 1987 to 2010 during Operation Desert Storm and later in Iraq.

"I always thought my older brother, Gene, was the first Marine in our family," Gerry said. "I've always been proud of our family's service, but I never thought I'd see something like this. I guess we really bleed Marine Corps."

Jonathan said the discovery of his ancestry gives him a different perspective.

"For years the Revolutionary War has just been history, but now it's become a lot more personal for me," he said.

[21] History of Fayette County, Pennsylvania by Franklin Ellis, 1882.


[22][22] Col. Isaac Meason was an important firure in the early history of Fayette County. He was a Virginian by birth, and as early as the year 1770 came to South wast Pennsylvania. He bough land on Jacob’s reek, and built upon it the Mounty Vernon Furnace. Not long afgterwards he bought the Gist property on Mount Braddock, in Dunbar township, and soonacquiring additional lands took rank as one of the largest landholders in the area. In 1799 he owned upward of six thousand acres. In 1790 he built the Union Furnace on Dnbar Creek, and set up two forges and a furnace on Dunbar Creek from Union Furnace down to the mouth of the creek. At Union Furnace he built a stone grist mill, and for years conducted extensive business enterprises that made him widely known. He owned, also, the lands originally possessed by Col. William Crawford, and in 1796 laid out the village of New HVEN, ON THE Youghiogheny opposite Connellsville. He died in 1819, and was buried on the Mount Braddock estate. His sons were Isaac, George, and Thomas. George lived with his uncle, Daniel Rogers, of Connellsville. Thomas became a resident of Uniontown. Isaac, the best known of the sons, and known as Col. Meason, after his father’s death succeded to his father’s business, and lived for many years at New Haven. His children were nine in number, of whom the sons were William, Isaac, Jr., and Richard. The onluy ones of the nine children now living are three daughters. (Circ. 1882) Two reside in Uniontown, and one in Kansas. Col. Isaac Meason, the youger, was educated for the bar, and practiced in Pittsburgh before making his home at New Haven. His mother died in Uniointown in 1877, aged ninety four.

[48] On December 20, Booth noted that a Catholic priest had come into the prison and "offered all who will go out with him better quarters and more wholesome food." This was a routine visit by a priest and because his offer only applied to Catholics, the prisoners correctly judged him to be a Confederate recruiter in disguise. (Booth. p. 222.)



Mangum recorded in his history of the prison [about 1800 took an oath of loyalty to the Confederacy, and that it was administered by a Catholic priest. Mangum, who characterized these POWs as "the very personification of forlorn wretchedness," assumed that they had taken the oath as "the only means to escape their terrible den." (Mangum, Salisbury Prison, p. 767; see also Booth, p. 764.)

Series 10: Printed Invitations and Souvenirs, 1883-1952


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


The items in this series are arranged alphabetically by the name of the person, place or event to which they relate.
