Dear Jeff,

I assume that by now H retrieved a copy of the material which I
left for her, and hopefully she will be of help. I am amazed at the
DNA connection and look forward to any progress you make gleaning
information from your ancestor's book.

Best regards,

L



L, thank you for checking back. I am still looking forward to hearing back from H since our last email. It would be great to read what the book says. Thank you for all of your help. Jeff

Hi Jeff, Instead of a copier & magnifying glass, I'd suggest your scanner and a good Photoshop type program. You can enlarge to the degree you need and enhance the shading for difficult words. It's a technique I used frequently in trying to decipher MJ's notes and family group sheets.

You have adopted a major task!



Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and the best for the New Year.



As ever, Linda



Linda, Great Idea! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Jeff







This Day…

December 23, 1775



King George III of England issues a proclamation closing the American Colonies to all trade.[1]



December 23, 1776: The first court of the Yohogania county was held at Fort Dunmore (Pitt) December 23, 1776,[2] and that the courts continued to be held there until August 15, 1777. They were then held at the house of Andrew Heath.” This was on the west side of the Monongahela, a short distance above, and in sight of the present town of Elizabeth. The statement has frequently been made that the Yohogania court was at one time held at Redstone Old Fort, but this is a mistake, doubtless growing our of the fact that a board of Viginia commissioners sat at that place in the winter of 1779-80 for the purpose of deciding on land claims and issuing certificates to settlers.

Finally, when the long controverst between the two States was settled by the assignment of the disputed territory to Pennsylvania, the counties of Monongalia and Ohio, though greatly reduced in area, still retained teir names as counties of Virginia (as they are of West Virginia at the present time); but Yohogania, whose limits were wholly within the territory yielded to Pennsylvania, cesed to exist, and was thenceforward mentioned as Viginia’s “lost county.” [3]



December 23, 1776



Of this tract, Virginia first created or erected three counties namely, Monongalia, Ohio, and West Augusta. West Augusta County was split up in 1774-1776, by remaking the dividing lines, and calling the three counties, Monongalia, Ohio and Yohogania.

Courts were promptly established for each. In Yohogania County the first court was held at Fort Dunmore, December 23, 1776. This ‘was near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Among the “Gentlemen Justices” sworn in, were William Harrison, James Rogers, and others. The following were given commissions, but were not sworn in Benjamin Harrison, James McClean, and Isaac Meason (Mason).[4]

1776 - December. 23 - Commission of the Peace and Commission of Oyer and Terminer were directed to Benjamin Harrison and 30 others at a Court held for Yohogania County, Va. [5]

“Yohogania County, December 23, 1776.

“In consequence of an Act of the General Assembly of Virginia putting oft all that part of the District of West Augusta Northward of the following bounds or lines (viz.); Beginning at the mouth of Cross Creek, running up the several courses thereof to the head;

thence southeasterly to the nearest part of the dividing ridge betwee the Ohio and the Monongahela Rivers, thence along the said dividing ridge to the head of Ten Mile Creek, thence east to the road 1eading from Catfish Camp.to Redstone Old Fort, thence with the said roa to the Monongahela River, thence across the said river to the said fort, thence along Dunlap’s old road to Braddock’s Road, and wit said road to the meridian of Potomack River.” The Ohio, Allegheny and Kiskiminetas rivers, and the crest of the Laurel Hill form the remaining boundary of the county, and thus excluded old Armstrong Township in Westmoreland County. At this initial session, also, the following gentlemen justices were appointed and took the oath in that and later sessions: John Campbell, Edward Ward, Thomas Smallman, Dorsey Pentecost, John Gibson, William Crawford, John Stephenson, John Canon, George Vallandingham, William Goe, John Neaville, Isaac Cox, John N’icDowell, Richard Yeates, John McDan­iel, George McCormick, Phillip Ross, Benjamin Kirkindall, William Harrison, Samuel Newell, Thomas Brown, Thomas Freeman, John DeCampe, Joshua Wright, Oliver Miller, Benjamin Frye, Matthew Ritchie, Jacob Haymaker, Benjamin Harrison, and Zachariah Connell.[6]



This Yohogania court did not use the term taxpayers, but rather chose to call them the Biblical name of “tithables.” The county was divided into thirteen districts, in which the assessment of the “tithables” was to be made, no townships being erected after the manner of Pennsylvania. It does not appear that~the court exacted the full ten per cent. of the income of the pioneers, but some of its members were appointed to prepare the list and make the collections. Two of the districts as described below encroached on the taxable area from which the Hannastown court might derive its revenue:



“Ordered, that Zachariah Connell, Gentleman, take in the list of Tithables within the following bounds, viz.: Beginning at the head of Maryland and extending along Braddock’s Road to Thomas Gist, thence with Froman’s Road to Byer’s Run, thence down the said river to the mouth of Swedley (Sewickley) Creek, thence with said creek and the northern bounds of the county to the beginning.

“Ordered, that Edward Ward, gentleman, be appointed to take the list of Tithables within that part of the county lying east of the Allegheny river and north of the Monongahela river.”



Zachariah Connell was the founder of the future city of Connellsville in present Fayette County, and Major Edward Ward well knew the title contentions from the days of Fort Duquesne, when the French drove him out more than twenty years before. There is no record to tell what kind of a list of tithables each of these justices returned to court, but there is little question that they met with many rebuffs from those who retained their allegiance to Pennsylvania’s jurisdiction.

The Yohogania couit also directed certain “Gentlemen Justices,” as they were designated, “to make a tour of the different districts thereinafter mentioned, and tender the oath of allegiance and fidelity to this Common Wealth (Virginia) to all free male inhabitants above a certain age, agreeable to an act to oblige them to give assurance of allegiance to this state and for other purposes therein mentioned.” Here again Justice Zachariah Connell was appointed for his district, and Justice Isaac Cox for all that part of the county lying west of Sewickley Creek, east of the Allegheny River and north of the Monongahela River. The records of the court do not show but few from these two districts who took such oaths.[7]

December 23, 1776

By the end of 1776 the American cause was indeed at low ebb. On December 23 there appeared a pamphlet, the first of Thomas Paine’s Crisis papers, which began, “These are the times that try men’s souls.” But three days later, the morning after Christmas, Washington struck at the celebration-befuddled Hessian camp at Trenton. He made a happy report to Congress.[9]



ORGANIZATION; FIRST DAY’S BUSINESS. (i)1 Yohogania County, December 23, 1776.

In consequence of an Act of the General Assembly of Virginia putting off all that part of the District of West Augusta Northward of the following bounds or lines (viz:) Beginning at the mouth of Cross Creek, running up the several courses thereof to the head; Thence South-Easterly to the nearest part of the dividing ridge Between the Ohio and the Monongahela Rivers, Thence along the said Dividing Ridge to the head of Ten Mile creek, Thence East to the road leading from Catfish camp to Redstone Old Fort, Thence with the said road to the Monongahela River, Thence across the said River to the said Fort, Thence along Dunlap’s old road to Braddock’s Road, and with said road to the meridian of Potowmac River, and a Commission of the Peace and a Commission of Oyer and Terminer, Directed to John Campbell, Edward Ward, Thomas Smallman, Dorsey Pentecost, John Gibson, William Crawford, John Stephenson, John Cannon, George Vallandingham.

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…[11]



December 23, 1784

Advocating civil equality for the Jewish population of Pennsylvania, the Reverend Charles Crawford in 1784 argued that “the drawing of a political line between us and them has a tendency to prevent their conversion…[while] the unlimited toleration of them has a tendency to bring them over to the gospel…the unlimited toleration of them is the cause of God”. Conversionist sentiments such as these may well have contributed on the Christian side to friendship and intermarriage with colonial Jews, thereby hastening the complete absorption of some within the larger community.[12]



In 1784 he reprinted George Gox’s old missionary tract, “A Looking-Glass for the Jews, with a new preface. In it he appealed to the Jews, as Fox himself did, to heed the call to conversion, but he also chided his fellow-Christians for their ill-treatment of the Jews. He pointed out that Christian prejudice might well “have a tendency to confirm them in their disbelief.” His real plea, however, was for the removal of religious tests in states where they existed.



Crawford’s psychology was more perceptive than he could have realized. A large percentage of the descendants of those eighteenth-century Philadelphia Jews-once political and social prejudice against them disappeared-did in fact become Christians. As had already occurred in the case of the children of Samnpson Levy, Sr., and David Franks, intermarriage and full acceptance were to beguile many away from their ancestral faith.[13]



A letter, signed “A Protestant,” who may have been the religious poet and minister, Charles Crawford, which appeared in the “Pennsylvania Packet” on December 23, 1784, rather unseasonably chided his co-religionists for their levity and lack of solemnity on Good Friday. “That day in my opinion ought to be observed, if possible, more holy than the Sabbath,” he wrote. “The Jews set us an example; who, at the time of their Passover, refrain from the tempting gain of lucre during the course of almost a week.”[14]

[17]

Rev. Paul Henkel had five sons that became Lutheran ministers. Andrew and Charles were in Ohio. Phillip went to North Carolina. Ambrose served in North and South Carolina and maybe Tennessee. This information is from Rev. Paul Henkel’s Autobiography, recently published by the Hinkel association. In his book, he states he had nephews in Ohio named Saul and Joel, son of Moses, his brother, who was a minister also. [18]

The Methodists built the first church in 1807 in Champaign County.[19]



1808

The following records reveal James and Effa (Effelia) Rowland being connected with Fairfield County, Ohio in 1808.



1808, no. 59, James Rowland from Thomas and Joanna Davis, 51 acres for $200.00, in Range 17, Township 17, Section 31. Book G. and page 394.[20]



1808

In 1808, he (James Foley) married Mary Marsh, also a native of Virginia, born 1784, to whom were born Griffith, Catherine, Susan, John and James. Mr. Foley was one of the first County Commissioners, on the erection of the county in 1818, and served several years; was also in the Legislature two terms, and became one of the largest land-owners in Clark County. He died in 1864, aged eighty-four. John Ward settled in the township about the same time as Foley. Judge John R. Lemon settled on Section 2, in the southeastern part of the township, in 1808; he was also a Virginian. In the same year, David Crabill and his wife Barbery came from Virginia and settled on Buck Creek. They had born to them twelve children; seven yet survive, and are among the leading families of the county. David was a native of Virginia, and his wife of Pennsylvania; her maiden name was Bear, and he was in the war of 1812. [21]

1808



. A comparatively early settler, and one whose name is well known throughout the township, was Judge Daniel McKinnon, a Virginian, who came to this section in 1808, and settled on the ground where New Moorefield now stands, in Sections 3, 4; 9 and 10, corner. He had a family consisting of his wife, three girls and five boys, all of which children are, now scattered over the country outside of the township. The father died on the land he entered, and was buried in the old graveyard. [22]

Thomas Voss, a native of Virginia, settled where Nathan Marsh now lives, in 1808. Silvanus Tattle and his wife; Mary (Brown) Tuttle, came to Ohio from Virginia in 1806, settling first-in Champaign County, close to Catawba Station, and, in the spring of 1808, removing to the southeastern part of Moorefield Township, where both died, he in January, 1843, aged eighty-two, and his wife in May, 1848, aged eighty-five. Of their numerous family, Eunice, Thaddeus, Hetty, Thomas, John, Dorcas, Caleb, Zebedee and David, all are dead but Caleb and Zebedee, who reside in Springfield Township, aged eighty-two and eighty-one respectively. The Tuttles incline toward the Baptist Church, and many of them are actively identified with that denomination. In 1808, Charles Bodkin and John Runyon settled in the township, and Jacob Richards a couple of years previous; all were from Virginia. [23]

The last major battle (of the War of 1812) occurred after the surrender December 23, 1814, it had been learned that the British had amassed over 10,000 troops in Jamaica and were heading for New Orleans. Ancestor and future President Andrew Jackson had lost only 13 men but the British left over 2000 dead in the cane fields and the War of 1812 was finally over.[25]



1813

After the War of 1812 and its costly victories, with strong connections in Fairfield County, Ohio, the Wyandot tribe moved northward from their favorite locations at ‘Standing Stone’ (at Lancaster, Ohio), to an abode on the banks of the Sandusky River at Upper Sandusky, Ohio.[26]



December 1814

The British southern prong targeted New Orleans, the greatest seaport on the American continent in the early 19th century. With New Orleans in their pocket, the British would control the entire Southern coast, along with much of the Mississippi River. In early December 1814, Maj Gen. Andrew Jackson, commander of American forces along the Southern coast, was frantically cobbling together an army to stop the might British invasion force of 8,000 troops.[27]

After that the British cautiously advanced north, steadily closer to New Orleans, while ancestor and future President Andrew Jackson dug in with his artillery batteries along Chalmette’s prime defensive ground, a small irrigation ditch known as Canal Rodriguez that faced the open Chalmette plain. The American soldiers took to calling their breastworks “Line Jackson.”[29]

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 11 January 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 Dec. 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.
