December 21, 69: The Senate acknowledged Vespasian as emperor. This marked the end of the so-called The Year of the Four Emperors during which four individuals - Galba, Otho, Vitellius and Vespasian – held the position of imperial leadership. This period of apparent anarchy was very unsettling for the Romans and part of Vespasian’s acceptance as emperor stemmed from the fact that he would be able to provide an imperial heir and stability for the emperor. In Rome and Jerusalem: The Clash of Ancient Civilizations, Martin Goodman ties the destruction of the Temple to the unsettling events of the Year of the Four Emperors and Vespasian’s determination to prove that he could bring order to the Empire.[1]
December 21, 1118: Becket was born about 1118,[4] or in 1120 according to later tradition.[1] He was born in Cheapside, London, on December 21, which was the feast day of St Thomas the Apostle. He was the son of Gilbert Beket and Gilbert's wife Matilda.[note 2] Gilbert's father was from Thierville in the lordship of Brionne in Normandy, and was either a small landowner or a petty knight.[1] Matilda was also of Norman ancestry,[2] and her family may have originated near Caen. Gilbert was perhaps related to Theobald of Bec, whose family also was from Thierville. Gilbert began his life as a merchant, perhaps as a textile merchant, but by the 1120s he was living in London and was a property-owner, living on the rental income from his properties. He also served as the sheriff of the city at some point.[1] They were buried in Old St Paul's Cathedral.
One of Becket's father's rich friends, Richer de L'Aigle, often invited Thomas to his estates in Sussex where Becket was exposed to hunting and hawking. According to Grim, Becket learned much from Richer. Richer was later a signatory at the Constitutions of Clarendon against Thomas.[1]
Beginning when he was 10, Becket was sent as a student to Merton Priory in England and later attended a grammar school in London, perhaps the one at St Paul's Cathedral. He did not study any subjects beyond the trivium and quadrivium at these schools. Later, he spent about a year in Paris around age 20. He did not, however, study canon or civil law at this time and his Latin skill always remained somewhat rudimentary. Sometime after Becket began his schooling, Gilbert Beket suffered financial reverses, and the younger Becket was forced to earn a living as a clerk. Gilbert first secured a place for his son in the business of a relative Osbert Huitdeniers, and then later Becket acquired a position in the household of Theobald of Bec, by now the Archbishop of Canterbury.[1] [2]
December 21, 1135: Meanwhile, the Norman nobility gathered at Le Neubourg to discuss declaring Theobald king, probably following the news that Stephen was gathering support in England.[57] The Normans argued that the count, as the eldest grandson of William the Conqueror, had the most valid claim over the kingdom and the duchy, and was certainly preferable to Matilda.[47] Theobald met with the Norman barons and Robert of Gloucester at Lisieux on December 21, 1135 but their discussions were interrupted by the sudden news from England that Stephen's coronation was to occur the next day.[58] Theobald then agreed to the Normans' proposal that he be made king, only to find that his former support immediately ebbed away: the barons were not prepared to support the division of England and Normandy by opposing Stephen.[59] Stephen subsequently financially compensated Theobald, who in return remained in Blois and supported his brother's succession.[60][nb 8]

Stephen's new Anglo-Norman kingdom had been shaped by the Norman conquest of England in 1066, followed by the Norman expansion into south Wales over the coming years.[62] Both the kingdom and duchy were dominated by a small number of major barons who owned lands on both sides of the English Channel, with the lesser barons beneath them usually having more localised holdings.[63] The extent to which lands and positions should be passed down through hereditary right or by the gift of the king was still uncertain, and tensions around this issue had grown during the reign of Henry I. Certainly lands in Normandy, passed by hereditary right, were usually considered more important to major barons than those in England, where their possession was less certain. Henry had increased the authority and capabilities of the central royal administration, often bringing in "new men" to fulfil key positions rather than using the established nobility.[64] In the process he had been able to maximise revenues and contain expenditures, resulting in a healthy surplus and a famously large treasury, but also increasing political tensions.[65][nb 9]
December 21, 1140: Conrad III of Germany besieged Weinsberg. Seven years later, Conrad would be one of the leaders of the Second Crusade during which the Jews of Mainz, Cologne and Worms were all attacked.[3]
1141: Matilda proclaimed queen at Winchester, Geza II rules Hungary, Matilda captures Stephen at battle of Lincoln and reigns disastrously as queen – driven out by popular uprising and Stephen restored, Matilda's forces take Stephen prisoner, she's named queen, it goes badly, Earl Robert is captured and exchanged for Stephen's freedom. [4]
Stephen had to intervene in the north of England immediately after his coronation.[54] David I of Scotland invaded the north on the news of Henry's death, taking Carlisle, Newcastle and other key strongholds.[54] Northern England was a disputed territory at this time, with the Scottish kings laying a traditional claim to Cumberland, and David also claiming Northumbria by virtue of his marriage to the daughter of the former Anglo-Saxon earl Waltheof.[67] Stephen rapidly marched north with an army and met David at Durham.[68] An agreement was made under which David would return most of the territory he had taken, with the exception of Carlisle. In return, Stephen confirmed David's son Prince Henry's possessions in England, including the Earldom of Huntingdon.[68] [5]

James Horrocks to George Washington, December 21, 1769
WM. & MARY Decr. 21. 1769.
I am much obliged to you for the clear Account you have been pleased to send me to Day concerning the Lands to be surveyed.
I dare say you will agree with me in Opinion that it is for the Honor of the College as well as the interest of the Officers & Soldiers, that (to use the Words of the Council) “a Person properly qualified to survey these Lands be appointed by us -- I have no Doubt of Mr. Crawford’s being such as you have mention’d, & I beg Leave to assure you very sincerely that this my first Duty to the College being satisfied, I shall be happy in the Opportunity of shewing due Respect to the Advice of the Honble. The Governor & Council, & of properly Regarding Col: Washington’s Recommendation --
I have communicated to Mr. Johnson my Sentiments on this Subject, & I believe his agree very much
with mine -- Mr. Camm[13] is not in Town & I imagine we shall not be collected again till after the
Holy Days -- I am of Opinion it wou’d be adviseable for Mr. Crawford to be here as soon as possible,
I mean with his own Convenience, as I see no Impediment to retard or prevent his Success.
I can, Sir, say no more with Propriety, & therefore I am sure you will not expect more than this [14]--
1770
In 1770, Lawrence Harrison appears in Bedford County, Pennsylvania records, as is evidenced by a bond signed by Alexander Moreland of Hamilton Bann Township, York County, Pennsylvania, who was bound to pay fifteen pounds currency to Lawrence Harrison.[15]
1770
The first permanent white inhabitant was Colonel William Crawford, a personal friend and land-partner of George Washington. He was the father of two girls, Effie and Ann. The former married William McCormick, who came here from Winchester, VA.,in 1770. He was the first white settler in Connellsville.
Zachariah Connell came here a few years later.[16]
1770
With this sale Hezekiah Lindsy declares "It being the same land I live on in the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy" (SW of Greensburg* Ezekiah Lindsy to Isaac Mason, February 7, 1783. 300 acres on Mounts Creek.[17]
1770
On pages 58 to 74 of the Fayette County History it lists among persons attending a meeting at the Gist Place: “Lawrence and Richard Harrison.” The following was said regarding Lawrence: “Lawrence Harrison had treated our government with too much disrespect.” This verifies that Richard Harrison was in Pennsylvania with brother, Lawrence.
Also on page 58 it emphasized the remoteness of this settlement in that “In the settlements of these places (the valley of the Redstone, Turkey Foot and the Valley of the Youghiogheny) with that at Pittsburgh, were embraced nearly all the white inhabitants of Pennsylvania west of the Alleghenies until about the year 1770.”[18]
1770 - Benjamin Harrison settled on the Youghiogheny River in what is now Franklin Township, Fayette County, Penn. (See items dated February 4, 1780 and August 11, 1785)[19]
The first settler within the limits of the present borough of Connellsville was William McCormick, who came here from near Winchester, Va., about the year 1770. He had a number of pack horses, and with them was engaged in the transportation of salt, iron, and other goods from Cumberland, Md., to the Youghiogheny and Monongahela Rivers. His wife was Effie Crawford, a daughter of Col. William Crawford, who had settled on the left bank of the Youghiogheny near the northern boundary of the present borough of New Haven. McCormick settled on the other side of the river,[20] directly opposite the house of his father in law. His first residence there was a log house, which he built on the river bank. It is still standing on land owned by the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad Company. In this he lived many years, and then removed to a double cabin which he built on the site below the stone house on the Davidson farm. Afterwards he built a large log house where is no the stone house built by John Boyd, who purchased the McCormick property in 1831.
William McCormick died in 1816, aged about seventy four years. He had eleven children, four of whom removed to Adams County, Ohio, and two to Indiana. Provance McCormick, a grandson of William, now the oldest living native of Connellsville, was born in te above mentioned double cabin of his grandfather, July 29, 1799. He learned two trades, shoemaker and carpenter. He married about 1818, and for two years lived on his ggrandfather’s place. In 1825 he bought an acre of land, and built on it the house now owned by William White. In this he lived until 1853.
Zachariah Connell, the founder of the town of Connellsville, came here a few years later than the settlement of William McCormick, whose brother in law he was, having married Mrs. McCormick’s sister, Ann Crawford. He came to this section of country soon after 1770, and stopped at the house of his future father in law, Capt. (afterwards Colonel) William Crawford.[21]

1770: Mary Ann Godlove, born about 1770, is in the 1840 U. S. Census for Hardy County (age 60-70). She fits the oldest of the age categories for females in Francis household in the 1810 census (age 26-45, born 1765-1784) and 1820 (age 45 or above, born before 1775). In 1830, the oldest female in Francis household was aged 60-70 (born 1760-1770). Mary Ann possibly was Francis second wife: she was about twenty-two years older than any of Francis children living at home in 1810, but she was too young to be the mother of John and probably too young to be the mother of Conrad.

Early 1770
The Isle of Skye, off the coast of Scotland produces men who place duty before personal inclinations.
Such a man was Lord Michael McKinnon, native of the island. He trained his children to adhere to their ideas and sacrifice everything to duty. Early in 1770 two of his sons, Daniel and Joseph, came to America. Daniel, a high Episcopal preacher to George IV of England, was sent by the crown to the church at Philadelphia.
He was a man of decided opinions and did not fit in well with the growing tendency in the colonies to question the crown's authority. He was a staunch royalist and preached his convictions from the pulpit. His belief, however, did not prevent his marriage to Miss Polly Dawson, a lovely colonial girl, who was a member of an ardent Whig family.[24]

1770: Bengal Famine of 1770
December 21, 1776: Killing one-third of the population of Bengal over a five-year period, the Bengal Famine of 1770 took place between 1969 and 1773 in what is now parts of Bangladesh. An estimated 15 million perished in the famine, which was blamed on greedy principles from the British East India Company's rule.[27]
Major Thomas D. HARRISON’s Grandson Rev. Robert L. HARRISON (2nd GGfather) was also a minister and his Great-Grandson Rev. Edmund Robert HARRISON (GGfather) was a circuit-riding Methodist/Episcopal minister in Arkansas during the 1860’s and until his death in 1883.
In 1817, HARRISON’s Chapel, formerly the “Camp Ground”, was located on Thomas’ far-reaching holdings, well known in the neighborhood as “Antioch”. Antioch was located in the area of Blanche and Milton on the Dan River.
Thomas was a Major in the of North Carolina troops in the Revolutionary War and was one of the first Justices of Caswell Co. appointed by Richard CASWELL. He enlisted in the Army on December 21, 1776 for three years and was known to encamp his men on his own land during the winter.
Thomas was militia Major in the new County of Caswell. In 1787, six years after his wife Mary KENNON died, he returned to Caroline Co., VA to wed his second wife, Mary Jane PENDLETON. She was born in 1756 in Hanover, VA and died after 1800. She was the daughter of Judge John PENDLETON and Phoebe JAMES.
John PENDLETON was a Burgess from King & Queen Co., Virginia, in 1795 and his second marriage was with Sarah MADISON, first cousin to President James MADISON. He signed many Revolutionary Treasury Notes.

December 21, 1778: EF says? a surveyor by profession; settled near Catfish Camp in 1776 after which he served in the Continental Line, and with General McIntosh at Fort Laurens in 1778; Deputy Surveyor General in Yohogania, now Washington County; surveyed in this county in 1780 under Virginia certificates; Brigade Major in Crawford?s Expedition; commanded a division after Colonel Burton was wounded; died June 18, 1830, at the home of a daughter at Sewickly Bottom;? PMA- says that Daniel Leet was a friend of General Washington and a Major in the Continental Army where he had a distinguished career. It is fully possible that this Daniel Leet was a surveyor for the Ohio Company of Virginia hoping to ensure land for top men of Virginia including George Washington and George Mason.[i]
December 21, 1778: Could this be the same man (Daniel Leet) who is credited with this career as an officer in the Revolution: ?acted as quartermaster from January 1, 1777 to October 1, 1777 and as paymaster from this latter date to September 21, 1778, then as Brigade-Major for three months, to December 21, 1778. He received 5333 1/2 acres of land from the State of Virginia (as bounty).?[ii]
Forrest says in the material quoted above that he was from Bordentown, New Jersey and had married Wilhelmina Carson. This seems to conflict with information from Louise M. Mohler which says that the Leets were from Berkley Co, Va.
A remark from an 1881 letter from the local historian, Isaac Craig to historian Boyd Crumrine, [iii] has to be passed along although not otherwise corroborated ?I have heard that Daniel Leet was the man who first used the mallet.? If this means that the man with the second highest political and military position on the raid going as a Private began the killing with a cooper?s mallet as this alleges he set a very bad example for most of the men who had less prestige. Is this the unnamed man who actually killed 13 people before he quit as reported in Washington County histories? [29]

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, he restored Poland as a Duchy of Warsaw, dependent on himself, consisting of the territories Prussia and Austria had annexed in 1793-95.[33]

During the 18th century Enlightenment, philosophers such as Charles Francois Dupuis in his ‘Origine de Tous les Cultges, ou la Religion Universelle, published in 1795, began to explore the notion of Jesus as a purely mythical construct, since there seemed to be little historical record left to corroborate the few details provided in the New Testament.[36]

Affecting the top grain-producing areas of the Soviet Union over several months, the Soviet famine of 1932–1933 is remembered by some as the Holodomor, a term that translates to "hungry mass death." Between seven and 10 million were killed in the area, which is now part of the Ukraine and Siberia, among other areas.[48]

1940: Human Experiments
It is only in recent years that it has come to light that "medical" experiments on humans were also performed in psychiatric institutions. To this date little is known of these experiments. It is also still unclear what the purpose of the I.G. Farben laboratories were, which were installed in many psychiatric institutions.
At the beginning of the 1990s, G. Schaltenbrand's experiments were discussed again. In 1940, in the Werneck psychiatric hospital, he had injected chronic mentally ill patients intradernally and cisternally with spinal fluid from apes, the latter having been previously injected with spinal fluid from multiple sclerosis patients. [52]
Werneck is the hometown of Francis Gottlob. The Castle was turned into a psychiatric hospital.
Thus Werneck is one of the oldest psychiatric hospitals of Germany. In 1940 approximately 800 patients of the welfare and institute for care became the unfortunate recipients of “euthanasia” - actions of the NS and murdered at that time. [53]

December 21, 1941: "All hands have behaved splendidly and held up in a manner of which the Marine Corps may well tell."
Major Paul Putnam, December 21, 1941
By December 21, eleven days after the Wake Island Marines had repelled the first assault on the atoll, Fletcher and Saratoga were still 600 miles from Wake. The Japanese were much closer, and in much greater force. A day earlier, Admiral Kajioka had sortied from Kwajalein with a second assault force, this time reinforced with four heavy cruisers. In the north, the carriers Soryu and Hiryu were detached from the Pearl Harbor strike force, their planes pouncing on Wake on December 21. Wake's last two Marine Wildcats scrambled into the air, and though badly outnumbered managed to down a Zero before being forced down themselves. But Wake was now bereft of air defense, and the promised relief mission nowhere in sight: in fact, at the time of the raid, Fletcher's force was refueling and, due to heavy seas, sailing away from Wake.
On receiving word of the carrier-based raid, Pye's resolve began to weaken. Fearing that Saratoga and Lexington were sailing into a trap, and not knowing the disposition of Japan's carriers, he ordered both task forces not to approach closer than 200 miles to Wake. Tangier, instead of landing reinforcements and supplies on Wake, was ordered to evacuate the atoll. The same day, however, Pye also lifted restrictions on Lexington's and Enterprise's operating areas, in hopes they could more effectively support Fletcher.
But, it was too little, too late. Under cover of night, Kajioka's force had approached close to the island, and before daybreak on the 23rd commenced landing the 1000-strong Maizuru 2nd Special Naval Landing Force. On Wilkes island, 70 Marines, armed with little more than vintage 1903 Springfield bolt-action rifles and hand grenades, set one transport on fire, and trapped the landing Japanese on the beach. Four hours later, that landing had been defeated, but on Wake island, two hundred Marines faced hundreds of Imperial Marines. The atoll commander, Commander Winfield Scott Cunningham, radioed his superiors in Hawaii: "ENEMY ON ISLAND ISSUE IN DOUBT". (Not quite two years later, the last three words would return to chill Nimitz and his command, when they were radioed from the beaches of Tarawa.)
The Pacific command's response left Cunningham and Marine commander, Major James Devereux, with few options. The nearest American carrier, Fletcher's Saratoga, was still a day away. Tangier, the relief ship, was even further off. A half hour later, Wake surrendered. At nearly the same time, Pye, reasoning that "Wake is a liability" ordered the relief forces to turn back.
The Consequences
The fall of Wake was a tremendous blow to American morale, not to mention that of the Navy's. When Pye's orders to withdraw reached Saratoga, an enraged Fletcher finally had to leave the bridge, where the talk had grown "mutinous". Aboard Enterprise, the crew struggled through two somber Christmas Eves (due to crossing the International Date Line), as men contemplated the fate of the Marine airmen they'd delivered to Wake just a few weeks before. What made the loss more bitter was the perception - perhaps accurate - that Wake's loss was unnecessary.
Holding Wake indefinitely may have been untenable, due to the land- and carrier-based airpower Japan could bring to bear. What seems more likely is that a more vigorous and concerted effort on the U.S. Navy's part could have saved the Marines and civilians on Wake. However, not possessing the benefit of hindsight, Pye could not justify risking his precious carriers - the only effective Navy surface forces in the Pacific - on a relief mission, in the face of possibly overwhelming enemy forces. Years after the war, the Marine commander James Devereux seemed to concur with Pye's decision: "I think it was wise ... to pull back." [55]

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.

[20] Two tracts of land, one called “Stafford,” and the other “Rich Plain,”located where McCormick settled, were warranted to William Crawford, but soon afterwards became the property of William McCormick, and were patented to him May 28, 1795. A saw mill was erected by him on these premises. An agreement was made by McCormick (April 10, 1794) to sell a part of these tracts to John Gilson for ₤252, and on the 7th of December, 1796, the property was deeded by McCormick to Gilson.

[31] Quatawapea, or Colonel Lewis; Legend has the Shawnee becoming chief of his tribe through a quirk of fate. During the Revolution he and his people had fought on the side of the colonies. After peace was declared the Shawnee were invited to Washington to see Secretary of War Henry Dearborn and President Jefferson. Quatawapea’s superior “dress and manners” impressed Jefferson who placed a medal about his neck. The Shawnee regarded this as an indication of the wishes of the United States and made him their chief. It was not unusual for Indians to adopt the name of favorite white friends and Quatawapea took the name of a Continental officer named John Lewis. The Shawnee chief became known as Colonel Lewis and gave the name to Lewistown, the town where he settled in Logan County, Ohio.
What happened to the Shawnee was typical of the government’s fraud and ingratitude: in 1831, the tract of forty thousand acres deeded to Colonel Lewis and his people for their loyalty was taken away by the United Stats government, which removed the Shawnee to the western lands behondf the Mississippi. McKenney recalled him as “a sensible and brave Indian.” Painter: Charles Bird King, Washington, 1825.
