I Go to Meetings!



Last night Sherri and I attended a meeting sponsored by the Fox Valley Jewish Association in which their guest speaker was Gary Kenzer, the USA Director of HonestReporting.com. They are an organization that exposes Anti-Israel media bias. It was a good lesson in how the media manipulates the truth through photographs and headlines. Jeff



In a message dated 10/21/2010 1:07:33 P.M. Central Daylight Time,

Hi Jeff - It was great to see and talk to you when you saw me at Butera. I told you I'd give you my contact information so will include it with this e-mail. I looked at your blog and your DNA site as well. The blog must keep you really busy. I'm thinking of perhaps doing the DNA testing. Need to learn more about it. but don't have time right now. I guess you use Family Tree Maker as your genealogy software. Do you have any opinions about RootsMagic? I'd be interested in hearing them as I am considering getting it. This has to be short as I have a ton of things to do today and tomorrow as I am doing an Usborne & More booth at a fair this Saturday. Usborne books are really great children's books that are books children love to read but educational at the same time. Also doing a booth the following Friday and Saturday. If you know anyone who might be interested in children's books, please share my website address or phone number/e-mail with them - www.bookskidslovereading.com

When is the best time to call you?

Lorelei Ashner,



Lorelei, Thanks for getting back to me. The blog does keep me busy but it is a labor of love. The DNA testing is a very good way to get way back into your ancestry, something called "deep ancestry". Most people can't get their heads around 500 years ago, let alone 5,000, 10,000, or even 50,000 years ago. I can tell you, in terms of our family history, its the best thing we ever did. I use family tree maker and like it to a point. Because I have constantly upgraded I ended up losing some of the functions that I liked, and gaining functions I dont use. I need to be more careful on the upgrades in the future. I don't know anything about Roots Magic but I would pay attention to the features that they are offering and see if they match up to what you want and need. You have a big tree so you need something that can handle it. Good luck with your new endeavor in children's books. With all the home schooling you did I'm sure you are well qualified. After 3pm is the best time to call. Jeff Goodlove



This Day…



October 25, 1754: Andrew, Battle, Charles, George and William all appear in 1739, and the first two with Lawrence in 1741. Andrew Harrison and his two sons --not named-- are mentioned October 25, 1744; the sons among others being allowed "26 pounds of tobacco" for patroling and guarding a prisoner. (Order Book, 1743-46, p. 224)[1]



October 25, George Washington’s Journal:. Incampd in the long reach abt. 30 Miles from our last lodge accord­ing to my Computation.

The “long reach” of the Ohio is a section of the river with relatively few curves stretching approximately from Paden City to Raven Rock, W.Va. Its length is 18 to 20 miles. According to the second diary, on 24 Oct. GW had sent Nicholson and one of the Indians to investigate the rumored death of

the trader. They returned on 25 Oct. reporting “they found no body at the Town but two Old Indian women (the Men being a Hunting). From these they learnt that the Trader was not kild, but drownd in attempting to Ford the Ohio; and that only one boy, belonging to the Trader, was in these parts; the Trader (fathr. To him) being gone for Horses to take hom their Skins.”



October 25th George Washington’s Journal:.—About seven o’clock, Nicholson and the Indian returned; they found no body at the town but two old women, the men being a hunting; from these they learned that the trader was not murdered, but drowned in attempting to cross the Ohio; and that only one boy, belonging to the traders, was in these parts ; the trader, his father, being gone for horses to make home their skins. About half an hour after seven, we set out from oar encampment, around which, and up the creek is a body of fine land.

In our passage down to this place, we saw innumerable quantities of turkeys, and many deer watering and browsing on the shore side, some of which we killed. Neither yesterday nor the (lay before did we pass any rifts, or very rapid water, the river gliding gently along; nor did we perceive any alteration in the general tace of the country, except that time bottoms seemed to be getting a little longer and wider, as the bends of river grew larger.

About five miles from the Vine creek, conies in a very large creek to the eastward, called by the indians Cut creek, from a town or tribe of Indians, which they say was cut off entirely in a very bloody battle between them and the Six Nations. This creek empties just at the lower end of an island, and is seventy or eighty yards wide; and I fancy it is the creek commonly called Wheeling, by the people of Redstone. It extends, according to the Indian’s account, a great way, and interlocks with the branches of Split-Island creek, abounding in very fine bottoms, and exceeding good land. Just below this, on the west side, comes in a small run ; and about five miles below it, on the west side also,another creek empties, called by the Indians, Broken-Timber creek; so named from the timber that is destroyed on it by a hurricane ; on the head of this, was a town of the Delawares, which is now deserted- Two miles lower down, ott the same side, is another creek, smaller than the last, and bearing, according to the Indians, the same name. Opposite to these two creeks, on the east side, appears to be a large bottom of good land. About two miles below the last mentioned creek, on the east side, at the end of the bottom before mentioned, comes in a small creek. Seven miles from this is , on the east side of the river, a pretty large creek, which heads with some of the waters of the Monongahela. according to the Indian’s account, and is bordered by bottoms of very good land ; but in general, the hills are steep, and the country broken. At the mouth of this creek, is the largest fiat I have seen upon the river; the bottom extending two or three miles up the river above it, and a mile below ; though it does not seem to be of the richest kind. About half way in the Long Reach we encamped, opposite to the begining of a large bottom, on the east side of the river. At this place we threw out some lines, and found a catfish of the size of our largest river catfish, hooked to one of them in the morning, though it was of the smallest kind here. We f~und no rifts in this day’s passage. but pretty swift water in some places, and still in others. We found the bottoms increased in size, both as to length and breadth, and the river more choked up with fallen trees, and the bottom of the river next to tine shores, rather more muddy, but in general stony, as it has been all the way down.





October 25, 1771 George Washington’s Journals: Assisting Crawford[2] with his Surveys.[3]



October 25, 1771; Assisting Capt. Crawford with his surveys until October 30.[4]



October 25-27, 1774



On the night after the return of the interpreters to camp Charlotte (the name of Dunmore’s encampment,) Major William Crawford, with three hundred men, left the main army about midnight, on an excursion against a small Mingo village, not far off. Arriving there before day, the detachment surrounded the town; and on the first coming of the Indians from their huts, there was some little firing on the part of the whites, by which one squaw and a man were killed, the others about 20 in number were all made prisoners and taken to the camp; Every thing about the village, indicated an intention of their speedily deserting it.[5]



George Washinton, October 25, 1777, General Orders



Head Quarters, Whitpain Township, October 25, 1777



Parole Braintree. Countersigns Concord, Danvers.



The intention of a certificate upon pay abstracts under the hands of the Brigadiers, was, that the truth of them should be made apparent, upon a comparison with the weekly returns, and unless the Brigadiers make such comparison, the sighning their names is but an empty form. The Commander in Chief therefore requires, that henceforward the Brigadiers, or officers commanding brigades that aare without brigadiers, carefully compare the pay-abstracts, with the weekly returns, before they make a certificate concerning them.



The Commander in Chief orders that a weekly return be made, of each brigade tomorrow morning at ten o’clock without fail The returns to be made with all possible exactness, and of those men returned on Command, their respective commands and the number on each, are to be pointede out. The General will look to the Brigadiers, or officers commanding brigades, for the punctual compliance with this order.



The Commander in Chief approves, the following sentences of a General Court Martial, held the 14th. Instant, whereof Colonel Brodhead was president, and orders them to be put in execution immediately.



Lieut. Nathaniel Ferris of Col. Swift’s regiment, charged with “Being drunk, and incapable of doing his duty, when the army engaged with the enemy of the 4th instant,” , and also with being much desguesed with liquor,” was acquitted of the first charge, but found guilty of being much disguised with liquor, and sentenced therefore, to be reprimanded, by the Brigadier General, in the presence of the officers of the brigade.



The General again congratulates the troops on the success of our arems. On Wednesday last a body of about 1200 Hessians, under the command of Count Donop, made and attack on Fort Mercer at Red Bank, and after an action of 40 minutes were repulsed with great loss Count Donop himself is wounded and taken prisoner, together with his Brigade Major, and agout 100 other officers and soldiers, and about 100 were left dead on the field, and as they carried of a great many of their wounded, their whole loss is probably at least 400: Our loss was trifling, the killed and wounded amounting only to about 32.



The next morning a number of the enemy’s ships came up, and attacked Fort Mifflin and the Gallies, and after a severe cannonade of several hours, the ships thought proper to retire, but in retiring a 64 Gun-ship and a frigate ran aground and were burnt.



AFTER ORDERS



The Court of enquiry, of which Genl. Greene is president, is to sit tomorrow morning at nine o’clock at the president’s quarters, to enquire into the conduct of Major General Stephen, on the march from the Clove to Schuykill falls, in the action of the 11th of September last on the Brandywine, and more expecially in the action of the 4th. instant at and about Germantown, on thich occasions he is charged with “Acting unlike an officer.”Also into the charge against him for “Drunkenness, or drinking so much, as to act frequently in a manner, unworthy the character of an officer.”



Capt Thomas Patterson of Col. Dayton’s regiment, is appointed Brigade Major (pro tempore) for Genl. Maxwell’s brigade, and is to be obeyed as such.



AFTER ORDERS



The execution of Thomas Roach is respited for three days.[6]





October 25, 1812

The United States frigate, United States, commanded by Captain Stephen Decatur, captures the British frigate, Macedonian, off the Madeira Islands, during the War of 1812.[7]



1812

Thomas Meason (1st cousin, 6 times removed) was a brigadier-general in the militia of General David Marchand, and George Armstrong, Greensburg lawyer, and Uriah Springer, of Fayette County, were brigade inspectors in 1812, and John Kirkpatrick, of Westmoreland and George Death, of Fayette County occupied the same positions in 1814. All of these forces were in the siege of Fort Meigs on the Maumee River in 1813.[8]



The Siege of Fort Meigs took place during the War of 1812 in northwestern Ohio. A small British army with support from Indians attempted to capture the recently-constructed fort to forestall an American offensive against Detroit, which the British had captured the previous year. An American sortie and relief attempt failed with heavy casualties, but the British failed to capture the fort and were forced to raise the siege.



Ancestor and Major-General William Henry Harrison was placed in command of the Army of the Northwest, replacing Brigadier-General William Hull after his surrender at Detroit. Harrison's objective was the recapture of Detroit, but after the defeat of American forces at the Battle of Frenchtown, Harrison gave orders for the construction of several forts to protect the rivers and trails which his army would use in any renewed advance. Two of the most important were Fort Meigs (named for Return J. Meigs, Jr., the Governor of Ohio) on Maumee or Miami du Lac River, and Fort Stephenson on the Sandusky River.

Harrison advanced to the site of Fort Meigs with an army which ultimately numbered 4,000 men (mainly militia) and began construction of the fort on February 1, 1813. Harrison contemplated a hit-and-run attack across the frozen Lake Erie against the British position at Amherstburg, but found that the ice was breaking up and returned to the half-finished fort.[1] He found the officer he had left in charge, Joel B. Leftwich, had left with all his men because the enlistment period of the militia units assigned to the task had expired. Construction had halted, and the wood that had been cut was being used as firewood.

As the enlistments of Harrison's Ohio and Kentucky militia were also about to expire, Harrison disbanded his force and departed for Cincinnati, Ohio, to raise a fresh army. He left Engineer Major Eleazer D. Wood to complete the construction of the fort. The garrison consisted of several hundred men from the 17th and 19th U.S. Infantry, who were inadequately clothed, plus militia from Pennsylvania and Virginia whose own enlistments were soon to expire.

The fort was on the south bank of the Maumee, near the Miami Rapids. Across the river were the ruins of the old British Fort Miami and the site of the 1794 Battle of Fallen Timbers. Fort Meigs occupied an area of 8 acres (32,000 m2), the largest constructed in North America to that date. The perimeter consisted of a fifteen-foot picket fence, linking eight blockhouses. The north face was protected by the Maumee, and the east and west faces by ravines. The south face was cleared of all timber to create an open glacis.[2]

The poor weather of early spring prevented a British attack while the fort was still vulnerable.[3] The British commander on the Detroit frontier, Major General Henry Procter, had been urged to attack Presque Isle (present day Erie, Pennsylvania), where the Americans were constructing a flotilla intended to seize control of Lake Erie, but Procter refused unless he received substantial reinforcements. Instead, he decided upon an attack on Fort Meigs, to disrupt American preparations for a summer campaign and hopefully capture supplies.[4] Harrison received word of Procter's preparations, and hastened to the fort with 300 reinforcements, increasing the garrison to a total of 1,100 men.[2] Embankments were hastily thrown up inside the fort as a protection against artillery fire. Harrison had persuaded Isaac Shelby, the Governor of Kentucky, to call up a brigade of 1,200 Kentucky militia under Brigadier General Green Clay. Clay's brigade had followed Harrison down the Maumee, but had not reached the fort before it was besieged.

Procter's force disembarked at the mouth of the Maumee on April 26. His force consisted of 423 men of the 41st Regiment of Foot, 63 men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, 31 men of the Royal Artillery, 16 men from other units, and 462 Canadian militia. He also had roughly 1,250 American Indian warriors led by Shawnee chief Tecumseh. His artillery consisted of two 24-pounder guns (which had been captured at Detroit), nine lighter guns and two gunboats mounting 9-pounder guns.[2]

It took several days for the British force to move up the Maumee and set up batteries. Most of these on the north side of the river, but one was set up on the south side. Most of the Indians also were on the south side of the river, loosely investing the fort. The British batteries opened fire on May 1. Most of the cannon shot fired sank harmlessly into the wet earth of the traverses and embankments.

On May 2, Harrison sent a courier to Clay's force, with orders for part of them to spike the British guns on the north bank and then withdraw into the fort, while a sortie from the fort attacked the battery on the south bank.

The Indians had seemingly not guarded the river properly and the Kentuckians gained complete surprise. Early on the morning of May 5, a regiment under Colonel Dudley Ward landed from boats, stormed the batteries on the north bank, and began to spike the guns. Ward then apparently lost control of his men. They began to pursue the Indians without orders, abandoning the captured batteries. Three companies of the 41st and some Canadian militia had stood firm, and they recaptured the batteries. Procter summoned Tecumseh's Indians to the north bank of the river, and Ward's disorganised regiment was destroyed in confused fighting. One hundred and seventy fought their way back to the boats and escaped into the fort, but roughly two hundred were killed and five hundred taked prisoner. The British lost over fifty men killed or captured, Indian casualties are unknown.

On the south bank, the American sortie against the British battery there was partially successful. Colonel John Miller captured the battery and took thirty prisoners, before two companies of the 41st intervened and drove him back to the fort. Meanwhile the rest of Clay's force reached the fort to reinforce the garrison.

Immediately after the battle, Indians snatched American prisoners from their British guards, and killed thirty or more, with clubs, tomahawks and musket fire. Procter did not intervene to prevent this massacre. The killings were eventually stopped by Tecumseh, who called Procter a woman for failing to act.

Procter's artillery resumed fire on May 7, but most of the Indians had abandoned the army and the Canadian militia were anxious to get back to their farms. The bombardment had little effect, and the garrison of the fort now outnumbered the besiegers. Procter abandoned the siege on May 9. Harrison did not pursue.

Once the British had departed, Harrison left Clay in command of the fort with about 100 militiamen. Tecumseh urged Procter to make a renewed effort to capture the fort in July. Tecumseh's warriors staged a mock battle in the woods to make it appear as if they were attacking a column of American reinforcements to lure Clay out of the fort. However, Clay knew no reinforcements were coming, and the ruse failed. Procter quickly abandoned the second siege.[9]

October 25, 1940

The Vichy Minister of War dismisses Jewish officers and enlisted men from the French armed forces.[13]

Jews who Died in Internment Camps in France:

The treatment accorded to the Jews interned in ‘France was such that those who died there were just as surely victims of the Nazi oppression as were the deportees. The conditions n Camps such as Gurs, le Vernet, Noe, Nexon, Recebedou, Compiegne, etc., were inhuman even for persons in the best of health. For the sick, for the elderly, for children, they were unbearable, as the number of deaths attest.



October 1940 to January 1941

The deaths of people badly cared for, undernourished, and exposed to the elements during the rigorous winters of 1940, 1941 and 1942, were in fact deliberate assassinations. The Vichy government, “anti-France”, in the words of Dr. J. Weil, whose work on concentration camps is considered authoritative, has shown itself guilty of these crimes. What other name can be given, for example, to the mortality in the camp of Gurs? There were 15 deaths in October, 1940; 180 in November; 270 in December; 140 in January, 1941…



At Gurs on November 26, 1940, Julius Gottlieb, born December 24, 1852 from Ebernburg, died.

[5] The reason for the attack was, that the Mingoes were implacable, and Dunmore had learned that instead of coming into the treaty they purposed retreating to the Great Lakes with their prisoners and stolen horses. This Mingo village was Seekonk (sometimes called Hill Town), 30 or 40 miles up the Scioto. Crawford left Camp Charlotte the night of the 25th, and surprised the town early in the morning of the 27th. Six were killed, several wounded, and fourteen captured; the rest escaping into the forest. Crawford burned several Mingo towns in the neighborhood.
