You wrote in This Day...Dec. 20



"Gary Goodlove wants to compare the Conrad signatures on Moorefield deposition to later signatures to verify a match."



I wrote in e-mail Dec. 11:



"Just in case we eventually identify Conrad Godlove of Hardy Co. with Conrad Goodlove of Clark Co. it is worth noting that in his 1805 deposition in the Linedecker case Conrad Godlove signed with a mark." He could not write.



"In the 1824 signature almost every letter is separate...that suggests to me a signer who was new at writing, taking care to form each letter." Jim



Jim, Merry Christmas. I was thinking how interesting it would be to get a handwriting analysis done on the signatures to see if there is something we are missing. You touched on that perhaps they did not know how to write, early on, and perhaps we can learn more about them through their signatures.

I was just thinking that this family history research is a lonely business but it is nice to have others to write to that are interested in the same thing. It reminds me of the freemasons and how there is a connection between them. Recently I inquired about my grandfathers involvement with the freemasons and discovered that my great grandfather was not a mason. But I wonder if Conrad was. I know that McKinnons were because I saw a very old picture of one wearing a shrine Fez. It makes me wonder if I should be checking the Ohio Grand lodge for information on this. Which also makes me wonder if their was a lodge in Moorefield. Do you know anything about this? Jeff



This Day…

600 years before Christ…

The Persian God Mithra, 600 years before Christ, was born December 25, performed miracles, resurrected on the third day, known as the lamb, the way, the truth, the light, the savior, the Messiah.[1]

600 B.C. Bysantium was a Greek City-State founded around 600 B.C. named after its King Bysantus. They settled where a thin strip of water connected Asia to Europe and the Black Sea to eventually the Mediteranium. This strip of water is called the straight of Bosphorus.[2]

599 B.C.: Jeremiah may have spoken these prophecies against Ammon, Edom, Damascus, Kedar and Hazor after 599 B.C. Evidence for dating these prophecies is found in verse 49:28. Here Jeremiah refers to Nebuchadnezzar’s attack on Kedar and Hazor, which occurred in 599. B.C. Jeremiah 49:1-33.[3]

598 B.C. : Jehoiakim died in 598 B.C. 2 Kings 24:5-6.[4]

598 B.C.: Jehoiachin became king of Judah in 598 B.C. 2 kings 24:8-9.[5]

598 B.C.: The gold image that Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to worship was probably set up by Nebuchadnezzar around 598 B.C. Daniel 3:1-30.[6]

598 B.C.: In 598 B.C., Nebuchadnezzar attacked Jerusalem again and exiled many of its leaders. Jeremiah spoke the following prophecies on the eve of this invasion. Jeremiah 9:16-21.[7]

598 B.C.: About three months after Jehoiachin became king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzr captured Jerusalem and took him, his family and most of Jerusalem’s citizens captive to Babylon.[8]

598 B.C.: Obadiah prophesied against Edom because the Edomites watched happily as Jerusalem was attacked. The exact time of Obadiah’s prophecy is unknown, but one possible date is 598 B.C., the year Nebuchadnezzar attacked Jerusalem. Obadiah 1:1-21.[9]

598-586 B.C.: Jeremiah’s ministry continued into the reign of Zedekiah. The following prophecies fit into the period between the second and third deportations of Israelites to Babylon (598 and 586 B.C.). Jeremiah 14:1-15:9.[10]

597 BC: When Nebuchadnezzar deported the Judaeans in 597 and 586 BC, he allowed them to remain in a unified community in Babylon. Another group of Judaeans fled to Egypt, where they settled in the Nile delta. So from 597 onwards, there were three distinct groups of Hebrews: a group in Babylon and other parts of the Middle East, a group in Judaea, and another group in Egypt. Thus, 597 is considered the beginning date of the Jewish Diaspora.[11]

596-525: Amasis. Egypt became a sea power in the Eastern Mediterranean and entertained relations with the Greek islands and the Greek colonies in Cyrenaica. Defensive alliances with Croesus of Lydia and Polycrates of Samos against the Persians failed. Amases son Psamtik III was defeated by the Persian king Cambyses at Pelusium in 525.[12]

595 B.C.: Jeremiah dated these prophecies against Babylon to Zedekiah’s fourth year as King. (595 B.C.)Jeremiah 50:1-46.[13]

594 B.C.: Jeremiah preached the following sermons around the time that the false prophet Hananiah plotted against Jeremiah. This happened during Zedekiah’s reign in 594 B.C.[14]

December 25, 0337(14th of Tevet, 4098): Earliest possible date on which Christmas was reported to have been celebrated on December 25th.[15]

December 25, 800: Coronation of Charlemagne as Holy Roman Emperor, in Rome. Charlemagne supported most of the policies and edicts Pope Gregory the Great and Pope Stephen IV. However, he ignored their edicts concerning Jews. For the most part, Jews were allowed to participate in the economic and social life of the Empire within the limits of Medieval Society. The Jews of Narbonne (France) supported Charlemagne’s father Pepin in his war with the Moslems and Charlemagne remembered this. Unfortunately, Charlemagne’s policies toward the Jews died with him in 814.[16]

December 25, 1000: At the start of the 11th century, Hungary was established as a Christian kingdom by Stephen I of Hungary. In this case, Christian means Roman Catholic. Religious belief aside, Stephen used Catholicism as an instrument of national unification as he established his rule over pagans and those of his subjects who sought support from the Byzantine (Eastern Orthodox) Empire. Based on archeological evidence Jews had probably been living in what was now Hungary since the third century. The first written mention of Jews living in Hungary is found in a letter from the end of 10th century written by the famous Sephard, Hasdai ibn Shaprut. There were enough Jews living in Hungary by the end of the 11th century that at the council of Szabolcs, the Church prohibited marriages between Jews and Christians, work on Christian festivals, and the purchase of slaves. At the same time, the Hungarian King Kolman took measures to protect Hungarian Jews from Crusaders passing through the kingdom.[17]

December 25, 1066: Coronation of William the Conqueror as king of England. There is no record of a Jewish community in England before Norman conquests. A group of Jews arrived from Rouen (France) in London at the start of William’s reign. There is no record as to why William allowed this and his immediate successors followed policies that were inimical to Jewish interests.[18]

December 25, 1100: Baldwin of Boulogne is crowned as the first King of Jerusalem in the Church of the Nativity. This is one of those events loaded with subtle irony. This coronation was the culmination of the First Crusade, during which the Christian warriors drove the Jews from the City of David.[19]

December 25, 1312: Anti-Jewish riots broke out in different parts of Austria.[20]

December 25, 1369: The King of Sicily required Jews to wear a special badge.[21]

December 25, 1599: Portuguese settlers establish the village of Natal in Brazil. At this time, the only Jews living in Brazil were New Christians or Conversos. Dutch forces would occupy Natal from1633 to 1654, a period during which Jewish communities flourished under the religious toleration brought from Holland.[22]

December 25, 1740: George Washington’s correspondence hints that a fire struck his home in Fredricksburg, Virginia, December 25th, 1740, destroying much of the living quarters. He is only eight years old and life has already struck him a severe blow.[23]



December 25, 1772 David Lindsay/Lindsey signs Dec. 25, 1772 Petition to employ peacher David McClure along with two other Bedford County communities. David's Signature is different from that of the one found on the 1788 Ruddle's Mill petition. Stewarts Crossing. Bedford, PA.[24]

December 25, (William Crawford) crossed the Delaware River with Washington.[25]



WILLIAM CRAWFORD, my 5th Great Grandfather

*Crossed the Delaware in retreat and again in victory on Christmas Day, 1776. [26]



Christmas Eve, 1776


We do not know how long he remained in England, nor how long the voyage lasted, but history tells us that on Christmas eve, 1776, the Hessians under Col. Rahl were keeping the vigil of the Nativity in their customary manner at Trenton, N.J., when General Washington with a handful of troops crossed the Delaware River amidst floating ice, surprised the hilarious (intoxicated) Hessians, killed a few and captured more than a thousand and fled back to Philadelphia. [27]



“December 25, 1777 - (Hessian Regiment) Toward evening we arrived at New York. Lieutenant Schotten, Ensign [Hieronymus] Berner, Ship Surgeon [Regimental Surgeon?] Gechter, Auditor [Johannes] Heinemann, and I at once debarked and took lodgings at Grimm’s Tavern.[28]



December 25, 1779:

(Hessian Regiment) On the 25th all the commanders of the troops and the ships’ captains received their instructions concerning the signals. The call was “59” and the reply “Lord Hawke,” which were assigned so that in case a ship should drift away from the fleet and encounter another ship at night they could recognize each other. In the event they met in the daytime, a certain flag was to be hoisted and answered by another designated one. Moreover, each commander of troops on a ship received a sealed letter which he might open if he had been driven off course and was twice twenty-four hours distant from the fleet, in which he finds the rendezvous of the fleet. Should his ship face the danger of falling into enemy hands, it is his responsibility to destroy these instructions, including the signals and the sealed letter.[29]



THOMAS JEFFERSON TO George Rogers CLARK, DECEMBER 25, 1780 [30]



[Letter Book of Thomas Jefferson, 1781, p. 10, Va. State Archives To COLO GEORGE ROGERS CLARKE,



RICHMOND December 25th. 1780



A powerful army forming by our enemies in the south renders it necessary for us to reserve as much of our militia as possible free to act in that quarter. at the same time we have reason to believe that a very extensive combination of british and indian savages is preparing to invest our western frontier to prevent the cruel murders and devastations which attend the latter species of war and at the same time to prevent its producing a powerful diversion of our force from the southern quarter in which they mean to make their principal effort and where alone success can be decisive of their ultimate object. it becomes necessary that we aim the first stroke in the western country and throw the enemy under the embarrassments of a defensive war rather than labour under them ourselves, we have therefore determined that an expedition shall be under taken under your command in a very early season of the approaching year into the hostile country beyond the Ohio, the principal object of which is to be the reduction of the British post at Detroit, and incidental to it the acquire possession of Lake Erie. the force destined for this enterprise is the Ilinois battalion. Colo. Crocket’s battalion, major Slaughter’s corps, with detachments of militia from the counties of Fayette, Lincoln militia, Jefferson, Ohio, Monongalia, Hampshire, Berkeley Frederic and Greenbrier making in the whole 2000 men. necessary garrisons only to be deducted our desire is that the execution of this may be so timed as that you may have the advantage of that interval of time, which intervenes between the breaking up of the ice in the wabache, and in the lake so as that you may avail yourself of the navigation of the former the moment it is open for the transportation of your Men and baggage and still find the latter blocked up and the vessels of the Enemy therein of course liable to be destroyed. That you may be fully possessed of the means which are to be in your hands for the purposes before mentioned, you are furnished with Copies of the orders given to the Lieutenants Commissaries & Quarter Masters in the Counties before enumerated; the substance of them is as follows Mr Rowland Madison is employed to carry 1000 lb of Rifle powder from New London & 1500 lbs. of lead from the lead Mines to Montgomery Court house, to purchase 300 pack horses with pack Saddles Halters and Bells ready and to lay in subsistence for them and for 137 Militia from Greenbriar County, who, by orders given to the Lieutenant of that County are to rendezvous, at Montgomery Court House by the 20th day of February there to take under their escort the ammunition and packhorses before mentioned and to be with them at the Falls of Ohio by the 15tb day of March Mr Madison is furnished with Money to purchase the horses and furniture and to lay in subsistende and forage from Montgomery Court House to the Falls of Ohio, where his duties cease.

Forty bell tents, 40 common tents, a Chest of Medicine, some Summer clothing will be sent from this place; 1000 lb of Rifle powder from Staunton 400 Camp kettles from Fredericksburg to the County Lieutenant of Frederick who is ordered to send them with 285 of his Militia to Pittsburg at which place they are to be the first day of March.

The County Lieutenants of Berkley and Hampshire are ordered to send the former 275 and the latter 255 of their respective Militias to be at Pittsburg by the first day of March.

Proper instructions are prepared for such persons as each of the County Lieutenants of Frederick Berkley and Hampshire shall appoint to act in the joint offices of Commissary and Quarter Master to Pittsburg where their Offices determine and Money is sent to each for the purpose of subsistence and transportation.

The County Lieutenants of Monongalia and Ohio are ordered to rendezvous one fourth of their Militia at Pittsburg by the first day of March. All these Militia are ordered to go under proper Officers well armed with Arms suitable to western service and to serve during the continuance of the expedition as herein described. Colo. Crocket is ordered to be with his battalion at Pittsburg by the same day, and Money to enable him to proceed is sent to him.

An Agent is sent to Baltimore and Philadelphia to purchase four tons of Canon powder and to send it to Pittsburg by the first day of March.

Application is made to Gen’ Washington to lend us of the Continental Stores at Pittsburg, 4 Cannon, six pounders mounted on field Carriages with ball suitable, a mortar with Shells, 2 Howitz, grape shot and other necessary furnitures, 1000 Spades, 200 pick axes, 500 axes, a travelling Forge, Ship Carpenter’s tools, and Boats for transportation down the river should we fail in having a sufficient number in readiness and to send us skilful persons to manage the Mortars.

John Francis Moore who was sometime ago sent to purchase in the vicinities of Fort Pitt provisions for the Western Posts, is now ordered to extend his purchases to 200000 rations of Beef & Flour, and to provide 100 light Barges fit for transporting Men and Stores either down or up stream. These to be all in readiness by the 1st of March as we are not certain whether he may not be gone down the river, these powers were directed to himself, or in case of his absence to any Agent he should have appointed and if he appointed none, then to Mr William Harrison of Monongalia.

At Pittsburg we depend on orders to be given by you for the removal of Men and Stores to the Falls of Ohio by the 15 of March.

The County Lieutenants of Fayette, Lincoln and Jefferson are ordered to rendezvous at the Falls of Ohio by the 15 March 500 of their Militia, to be furnished between those Counties in proportion to their numbers, & to have ready at the same place and by the same day 50 Canoes each: Money is sent to pay for these. In those Counties you inform us you expect 100000 rations will be provided for you, you will of course order them to the falls of Ohio.

All the preceeding orders (except as to the numbers of Men from each County) are submitted to any alterations you may think necessary, and you are authorized to supply any deficiencies in them. The Staff Officers are submitted absolutely to you, and on removal of any of them by you or their death, resignation or declining to act you are to appoint others. The County Lieutenants are desired to keep up a constant correspondence with you, & the Staff Officers to inform you from time to time of their progress and to receive your orders. Thus you will perceive that we expect all to be in readiness at the Falls of Ohio by the 15 of March.

What number of Men and whether of Regulars or Militia you shall leave to garrison the Posts at the falls & Mouth of the Ohio, is left to yourself. As the latter however is exposed to attack from an Enemy against whom this expedition will be no diversion of force, and as it is distant from succour, it is recommended to you to leave it surely garrisoned, and to take measures for its being supported from the Spanish side of the Missisipi should it be necessary.

You will then with such part of your force as you shall not leave in garrison proceed down the Ohio and up the Wabache or along such other route as you shall think best against Detroit. By the construction of a fort or forts for retreat at such place or places as you shall think best, and by such other cautions as you find necessary, you will provide for the ultimate safety of your men in case of a repulse. Should you succeed in the reduction of fort Detroit, and a hopeful prospect open to you of acquiring possession of Lake Erie, or should such prospect open during the investiture of the fort you are to pursue it. As soon as you shall have accomplished both Objects of the fort and Lake, or shall have accomplished the one and find the other impracticable; or as soon • as you shall find that neither is practicable you are to consider your expedition as ended, and to withdraw your whole force if you attain neither Object, or, if you acquire one or both of them, to retain for a Garrison at Detroit so many of the Illinois & Crochets battalions as you may think necessary and to send the rest back accross the Ohio; in the event indeed of declining to attempt the reduction of Detroit YOU are at liberty to consider whether some cnterprize against the hostile Nations of Indians may not he undertaken with your force, and if you think it can, and that it will be expedient for the public good and eligible on view of all circumstances you will undertake it and detain your force ‘till you shall have finished it. In every event, the Militia on their return are to be marched back to their

• Counties under their own Officers and there to be discharged.

Should you succeed in the reduction of the Post, you are to

• promise protection to the Persons and property of the French and American Inhabitants, or of such at least as shall not on tender refuse to take the Oath of fidelity to this Commonwealth. You are to permit them to continue under the laws and form of Goverment under which they at present live, only substituting the authority of this Commonwealth in all instances in lieu of that of his Britannic Majesty, and exercising yourself under that authority till further order those powers which the British Commandant of the post, or his Principal in Canada hath used regularly to exercise: To the Indian Neighbors you will hold out either fear or friendship as their disposition. and your actual situation may render most expedient.

Finally, our distance from the scene of action, the impossibility of foreseeing the many circumstances which may render proper a change of plan or direliction of object, and above all our full confidence in your bravery, discretion, and abilities induce us to submit the whole of our instructions to your own Judgment, to be altered or abandoned whenever any event shall turn up which may appear to you to render such alteration or abandonment necessary; remembering that we confide to you the persons of our Troops and Citizens which we think it a duty to risque as long as no longer than t.he object and prospect of attaining it may seem worthy of risque. If that Post be reduced we shall be quiet in future on our frontiers, and thereby immense Treasures of blood and Money be saved, we shall be at leisure to know our whole force to the rescue of our eastern Country from subjugation, we shall divert through our own Country a branch of commerce which the European States have thought worthy of the most important struggles and sacrifices, and in the event of peace on terms which have been contemplated by some powers we shall form to the American union a barrier against the dangerous extension of the British Province of Canada and add to the Empire of liberty an extensive and fertile Country, thereby converting dangerous Enemies into valuable Friends.

(Signed) T. J.[31]





December 25, 1817: THE ERECTION OF CLARK COUNTY



"The Senate received a message from the House of Representatives, by Mr. Hawkins:" Mr. Speaker, the House of Representatives have passed the bill entitled an act to erect the county of Clark." Thursday, December 25, 1817, the bill was signed by the Speakers of both branches of the Legislature, as being duly enrolled; Mr. Lucas from the joint committee of enrollment deposited it with the Secretary of State, and took his receipt therefore.

And so the long fight was ended. Ohio had gleaned another wisp for the sheaf on her escutcheon, and had added one more dart to its bundle of arrows. As a "Christmas gift" she had granted the right of local representation and self-government to the plucky pioneers of "Little Clark," and made them a community by themselves with a "local habitation and a name," the retrospect of which confirms even the brightest visions of those who struggled for this conclusion.

The creation of Clark County was the most bitterly contested of any of the early counties of Ohio. The nominal objection urged was that the territory proposed did not fill the constitutional requirements of 400 square miles. The real trouble seems to have been personal dislike and jealousy, between the leading citizens of the principal settlements in Green and the proposed county of Clark. It is unfortunate that the names of the principal actors in the controversy cannot be learned from the journals of the Legislature of that day, for, names excepted, the records furnish, to an active mind, a detailed history of the long struggle.

Perhaps more Governors of Ohio participated, in one way or another, in the passage of this bill than in that erecting any other county in the State; they were Thomas Kirker, Othniel Looker, Thomas Worthington, Jeremiah Morrow,. Duncan McArthur, Robert Lucas and Joseph Vance. The passage of the bill and its excellent management throughout the unequal contest was more directly attributable to Daniel McKinnon, Senator from Champaign County, and one of the first Associate Judges of Clark County; Joseph Tatman also did good work, as a Representative, and was made one of the first Associate Judges. At the time of its erection, the taxable acreage of the county was 229,624 acres, then valued at $528,644, or an average price of less than $2 per acre.

The whole number of voters was 4,648, and the total population amounted to 8065.

"When the news of the passage of the bill reached Springfield, the citizens assembled at the tavern kept by my father (Cooper Ludlow), on the northwest corner of Main and Factory streets, and celebrated the occasion by the burning of tar barrels in the street, and a free use of apple toddy and the other accompaniments belonging to a great jollification of that day."*

Of the authors of the petition, or those who signed it, or any of the details, there is no known evidence, except that of hearsay. At this late day it would be interesting to know who first suggested the name of Clark, who circulated the petition, and some of the incidents concerning its rise and progress at home, as well as in the Legislature.
