This Day…



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]



December 20, 1192: Richard the Lionhearted captured in Vienna. Richard was returning home after the Third Crusade when he was taken prisoner by Leopold, duke of Austria. Leopold then sold him to the Henry VI, the Holy Roman Emperor. Henry offered to return Richard to his homeland if his brother Prince John paid the ransom. The Jews of England paid 5,000 marks towards the ransom. This was three times the rate paid by the Christian citizens of the realm.[2]

December 20, 1522: Suleiman the Magnificent accepts the surrender of the surviving Knights of Rhodes, who are allowed to evacuate the Isle of Rhodes. Based on references in the Book of the Maccabees, Jews had lived on Rhodes since the second century BCE. However, in 1500, The Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes “expelled all the Jews who did not choose to convert to Christianity” making the Island “Jew Free” for a couple of decades. Suleiman the Magnificent conquered the island “he invited Jews from various parts of his empire to come to Rhodes and start a new community. The Jews that came were Sephardim, the ones who had found refuge in the Ottoman Empire following the expulsion from Spain in 1492. These Jews brought with them their culture, their customs and traditions, one of the cultural aspects was linguistic, the language they spoke was Espanyol, as they called it, also known as a "Ladino" and "Judeo-Spanish" The Jewish Quarter of the city was affectionately known as "La Juderia". Suleiman is also the Sultan who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem and was the patron of Dona Gracia and Joseph Nassi.[3]

Josiah Johnson[4] to George Washington, December 20, 1769



Decr. 20th. 1769.



SIR!



It is with great Pleasure I now sit down to inform you, that it is now in my Power to contribute my little Mite of Service to one of the gallant Defenders of Ms their Country. Nor shou’d I (however cautious it may be necessary to be in general) have hesitated a Moment to have given my hearty Assent, when you first did me the Honor of applying to me on the Subject of appointing Mr. Crawford Surveyor of ye. 200,000 Acres[5] specified, had I not been apprehensive, that it might intefere with a prior Engagement I lay under to Mr. May. While this doubt subsisted, Col. Washington wou’d, I am confident, have condemned me, if I had entered upon a new Resolution; but it is now totally removed, & he may depend upon my Concurrence.



Sr.!

with great Respect

Your very humble Servant

JOSIAH JOHNSON.

December 20, 1785



On Dec 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.[11]



December 20, 1788: George Washington named charter Worshipful Master of Alexandria Lodge No. 22 when a new charter from the Grand Lodge of Virginia was issued. Unanimously re-elected Master December 20, 1788 for one year.[12]



GEORGE WASHINGTON (1732-1799)
First President (1789-1797)





MASONIC RECORD

Initiated as an Entered Apprentice[13]: November 4, 1752, Fredericksburgh (Fredericksburg) Lodge No. 4, Fredericksburg, Virginia.

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.[14]




1789 - Benjamin Harrison signed a petition to the Speaker and General Assembly of Virginia - Protest of sundry inhabitants of Bourbon County against a division of the county. [15]

1789 - Benjamin Harrison entered 200 tracts in New Madrid District, Upper Louisiana. Lawrence Harrison, William Harrison, etc. applied for land between the road leading from New Madrid to Ste. Genevieve and St. George's River - subject to the rules and regulations that his most Catholic Majesty hath thought proper to direct for the settling of his territory on the Mississippi. [16] In spite of his accomplishments in Kentucky, Benjamin Harrison seems to have had difficulty settling down. An old land-speculating friend from Pennsylvania, John Morgan, had been into the Louisiana Territory, in about 1789, that part known as Missouri. He wanted Benjamin to go back with him. Missouiri at the end of the 18th century was part of a vast swath of the continent, under the nominal control of Spain. A hamlet in Missouri was given the unlikely name Nuevo Madrid, New Madrid. (For reasons no longer remembered, Spanish Governor Esteban Miro seems to have preferred the name, L’Anse a la Grasse, Greasy Bend; maybe he was trying for “grassy bend.”)

The earliest New Madreis settlers, including John Morgan, and possibly Benjamin Harrison, sent entreaties and a delegation down river to Orloeans. The new Missourians proposed that Spanish Governor Miro adopt policies, which would encourage English speaking settlers to come into the Louisiana Territory. Governor Miro adopt policies, which would encourage English speaking settlers to come into the Louisiana Territory. Governor Miro (gov: 1782-1791) responded with two conditions. His requirements must have seemed laughingly absurd to the energetic, practical minded, land taking, government creating surveyor famers, who had spent lifetimes figuring out how to get onto tillable lands and who had rarely hesitate to threaten or shoot at anybody who interfered with their plans.

American settlers would be welcomed in Missouri, the Spanish Governor explained, if they all become Catholic and if they left behind in Kentucky their notions of representative government. These requirements became moot after Miro returned to Spain and Spain ceded the Louisiana territories to France in 1800. Napoleon, short of cash, sold Louisiana to the United States in 1803.[17]

1789

1789, John Crawford, 5 colts.[18]

1789, John Crawford, 5 horses or mules.[19]

1789 Jews expelled from Alace.[20]

Years in which full legal equality was granted to Jews. In some countries, emancipation came with a single act. In others, limited rights were granted first in the hope of "changing" the Jews "for the better."

December 20, 1865: Salisbury, North Carolina: 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.)



December 20, 1865: John GUTLEBEN was born on July 13, 1801 in Muhlbach,Munster,Colmar,Upper Rhine,Alsace and died on April 18, 1862 at age 60.

He will be doing research at the Holocaust Museum in St Petersburg in the next few days.



Gary’s appears to be spending more time on other projects while fishing these days. We look forward to his first catch!

Conrad was born in 1793 in Pennsylvania, his parents could have come to the United States during this time period. Except, why would his parents not remain Jewish if they went to this much trouble to travel to the United States.
