Dear Jeff - Yes, this is where the Cherokees ended their trip.

I had never heard of the " Trail Of Tears " until I came

to Tahlequah. It was never in any history book that I hah in school



And there is a museum here on the Cherokees.



As Ever Al Bowdish





Al, I would like to visit that museum someday. My mom and dad showed up from parts unknown and we are going to Champaign to see their granddaughter graduation from the University of Illinois today. Jeff







This Day…



December 18,1271: Kublai Khan renames his empire "Yuan" (元 yuán), officially marking the start of the Yuan Dynasty of China. Reportedly, Marco Polo found several influential Jews at the court of Kubla Khan. These Jews would have been descendants of Persian Jews who probably came to China the 11th century as merchants. In the 13th century, Marco Polo, traveling in China spoke of meeting Jews or hearing about them during his travels in the Middle Kingdom. Polo recorded that Kublai Khan himself celebrated the festivals of the Muslims, Christians and Jews alike. Historical sources also describe Jewish communities at various cities, including Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Ningbo, and Yangzhou. Only the community in Kaifeng (Henan Province) survived since its founding around 240 BCE[1]



December 18, 1655: Oliver Cromwell presided over the fourth, and what he hopes will be the final, debate over allowing the Jewish people to return to England. Much to his chagrin, Cromwell cannot get a majority to support the return of the Israelites despite his argument that “The pure (Puritan) gospel must be preached to the Jews, to win them to church. ‘But can we preach to them, if we will not tolerate them among us?’” Cromwell closed the meeting and announced that he would decide the issue on his own. [2]



December 18, 1768

"The Reverend Daniel MacKinnon (compilers 5th great grandfather) was admitted a Deacon by the Bishop of London on the 18th of December, 1768, at the Chapel Royal, St. James, and three days later was admitted Priest at the same place. Immediately after this, he went out as a Missionary to the Plantations of Maryland. It is further recorded that he was very active in founding Churches in that Colony, and visited England subsequently to solicit funds and books for that purpose. After accomplishing this, he embarked for America, but his ship was lost at sea. No traces of her passengers or crew were ever found. His only daughter married Thomas Rogers, of Maryland. Some have thought that Daniel is identical with Donald, youngest son of John of Mishinish, the change of name being not uncommon on emigrations, but there is no proof." [3]

December 18, 1787 New Jersey becomes the third state to ratify the Constitution.[4] Like many of the original thirteen colonies, New Jersey had religious restrictions for holding office that were not removed until the 19th century.[5]

1788

In 1788 ancestor and future President Andrew Jackson headed west to Tennessee, not yet a state, but a territory. He settled in Nashville where within a year a superior court judge made 21 year old Jackson a prosecutor. A prestigious appointment that did not go over well with some of his more experienced attorneys.

1788 - Benjamin Harrison signed a petition to the Speaker and the Gentlemen of the House of Delegates of Virginia - Protest of the inhabitants of Bourbon County against a division of the county. [6]

1788 - James Garrard, John Edwards., Benjamin Harrison, John Grant and John Miller represented Bourbon County at the Kentucky Convention held in Danville.[7]

1788

Nancy says in Lawrence Harrison's Pension File (W. 4223) that she removed with her family to Ky. and knows that they were mar.in 1788. [8]



1788

In 1788 at Ruddle's Place, David Lindsay signed a petition with others to build a tobacco warehouse. We think he arrived in Bourbon County, Kentucky by 1786, as this is the reported birth year of his son William.

It is his signature we see on this petition where he signed Lindsay with a "A". Now we know we are Lindsay's and not Lindsey's!

Ruddle's Place and Ruddle's Mill seem to be two different places but it is close to the old Ruddle's Fort destroyed by the British in 1780. Whether David owned property here is not known. His estate probate (1814) and property were in Harrison County with land purchased in 1787. Perhaps he lived in the same place all the time, as Harrison County was formed out of Bourbon County in 1793.[9]

1788: Brother George Washington was raised to Sublime Degree of Master Mason in Fredericksburg Lodge, No. 4, in Fredericksburg, Virginia. In 1788, he served as Worshipful Master of Alexandria Lodge, No. 22, in Alexandria, Virginia .[10]

I believe that it is possible that my 6th great grandfather could have also been a member of the Fredericksburg Lodge. Col. William Crawford lived that area and was a friend and associate of George Washington. I will be checking with the Grand Lodge of Virginia to see if there are any records of his being a Mason. I have been told that most of George Washington’s officers were Freemasons in the American Revolution.

December 18, 1789: John Crawford, Yeomen, on January 29, 1788 sold to Richard Graham, yeoman, his household goods, live stock, etc…One negro wench Lucy, One black cow with some white spots, Three sheep with a crop and slit in each ear, an over kehl and under kehl in each ear. Household goods, beds, bedding, furniture, one china plate. Witnesses: David Graham, Jacob Stewart. Recorded December 18, 1789.[11]

December 18, 1799: On this date in 1799, George Washington's funeral was conducted in Masonic fashion, at Mount Vernon, Virginia[12]

1800

By 1800, Jews owned less than 1 percent of the land around Pittsburgh.[13] In 1800, except for the highly successful Simon and Gratz families, most of Pennsylvania’s Jews were of humble economic means. They had come from small villages in Europe to small towns or cities in America, hoping to find greater economic security and religious freedom.[14]

This are the only entries approaching Daniel McKinnon in appearance. And we know he must have been there because Theophilus says so.[15]

1800 - Benjamin Harrison was taxed in Harrison County. [16]

In the year 1800, Zachariah Connell and Isaac Meason were authorized by an act passed by the Legislature to build a toll bridge across the Youghiogheny. This was the first bridge across the river at Connellsville.[17]

1800: John Crawford’s records in the Ohio State Auditor’s office are as follow; 1800, No. 1160, 525 acres to Noble Grimes, [18]

1800

Touching the manufacture of iron in Dunbar about 1800 by Isaac Meason it has been written: “The difficulties under which the ironmaster labored in those days were curious ones. Not only was he compelled to work with crude machinery and imperfect knowledge, but his efforts to realize on his labors were Herculean. The iron was run into numerous castings suitable for frontier life, or manufactured at small forges into the merchant iron of those days. These products were hauled in teams from fifteen to thirty miles across the country to Brownsville, on the Monongahela River, and there loaded into flat boats. These floated down the Ohio and Mississippi. The iron was exchanged for corn, pork, whisky, etc., which were carried on to New Orleans and traded for sugar and molasses. These latter commodities were sent around by sea to Baltimore, and in turn exchanged for groceries dry goods, etc., which loaded on Conestoga wagons, were hauled three hundred miles over the mountains to the furnaces whence the iron had started many months before.” An old furnaceman told that he once conducted business continuously for three years, and saw during that time only ten dollars in money. Another curious phase of that early life was the insertion of a clause in all contracts for labor that a certain quantity of whisky was to be allowed each day in addition to wages. A stoppage of whisky rations was about the only cause in those days that would precipitate a labor strike.[20]

Ancestor and future President William Henry Harrison became Governor of Indiana Territory 1800.[21]

December 18, 1860

The Crittenden Compromise is proposed by Senator John J. Crittenden of Kentucky, in a last ditch effort to keep the Southern States from seceding.[22]



December 1863: The only tangible remains of the Rock Island Barracks is the Confederate Cemetery. The Rock Island Barracks was one of 21 prison camps operated by the Union. From December 1863 to July 1865, 12,192 Confederate prisoners were held at the prison camp. A total of 1,960 prisoners died. Each gravestone identifies the individual soldier, his company, and his unit.

The National Cemetery Administration maintains the Confederate Cemetery. [23]





Among the Confederates who were imprisoned at Rock Island were Anthony Baker (23rd Va. Cavalry) and Lemuel Brill (18th Va. Cavalry), grandsons of Francis Godlove son of (Franz Gottlob).[24]





December 18, 1864: This is a copy of a diary written by William Harrison Goodlove dated from January 1, 1864 thru December 18, 1864. William Harrison Goodlove left the diary to his son, Earl Lee Goodlove who left it to his oldest son, Covert Lee Goodlove, who resided in Center Point, Iowa. The diary was copied “as written” by Jean (Goodlove) Lorence, daughter of Covert L. Goodlove, April 1987.[25] (It is in the possession of Jay Covert Goodlove.)[26]



December 18, 1865: Slavery ended in the United States as the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was declared in effect.[27]
