January 17, 1287: King Alfonso III of Aragon invades Minorca, making Minorca a part of Spain, a status that has survived into the 21st century, despite a brief period of British rule in 18th century. Judah Bonsenyor, Notary-general of Aragon, whose language skill enabled him to serve as an interpreter, was among those who accompanied the king during the invasion. Minorca has had a large Jewish population The Letter on the Conversion of the Jews by a fifth century bishop named Severus tells of the conversion of the island's Jewish community in AD 418. A number of Jews, including Theodore, a rich representative Jew who stood high in the estimation of his coreligionists and of Christians alike, underwent baptism. An act of conversion brought about, in fact, within a previously peaceful coexisting community by means of the expulsion of the ruling Jewish elite into the bleak hinterlands, the burning of synagogues, and the gradual reinstatement of certain Jewish families after the coerced acceptance of Christianity and its supremacy and rule in order to allow survival for those who had not already perished. Many Jews remained within the Jewish faith while outwardly professing Christian faith. Some of these Jews form part of the Xueta community. When Minorca became an English possession in 1713, the English willingly proffered an asylum to thousands of Jews from African cities[citation needed]. A synagogue was soon erected in Mahon.[1]



January 17, 1377: Pope Gregory XI, the prelate who had ordered the burning of Jewish books a year earlier, ended the Avignon Papacy when he moves the Papacy back to Rome from Avignon.[2]



1377: The fact that the corresponding quotations in the Basel book of weekly expenses stopped in the year 1377 indicates that Master Josset died or moved away in that year. His practice in the position of city physician now went to the Jew Gutleben.[3]

1377 to 1380: Vivelin/Gutleben in Basel.[4]

January 17, 1670 In Metz, Burghers of the city decided that it was financially beneficial to expel the Jews, and so concocted a ritual murder libel. Raphael Levy, a respected member of the community, was arrested, tortured and burned alive. The Royal Council later called it "Judicial Murder" and the Jews were not expelled.[5]

1670 Jews expelled from Vienna, by Emperor Leopold I.[6]

1670:William Crawford was born about 1640 in Kilbirine, Ayrshire, Scotland. He married Naudaine Valentine in 1670. She was born in Delaware. He came to America from Lenarkshire, Ayshire, Scotland & Donegal, Ireland. [7]



William Crawford came to America with his brother George.[8]



January 1776

After eight months of such one-sided precision rifle fire, and evergrowing artillery fire, the British abandoned Boston. As quickly as they left, however, Gen. George Washington disbanded most rifle companies to fill his smoothbore-armed infantry regiments, and with good reason.

The Revolutionary War rifle was agonizingly slow to reload, requiring as many as two minutes to pour powder, force a ball down its constricted bore, charge its powder pan and get off an aimed shot. By contrast, the smoothbore musket was that era’s arm of choice despite its inherent inaccuracy; what the smoothbore lacked in range it compensated with firepower, offering up to four rounds per minute. Eighteen century tacticians believed smoothbore armed infantry men won battles by advancing shoulder to shoulder and maintaining drilled discipline while they fired volley after volley after volley.

In contrast to the modern sniper, no matter how carefully a Revolutionary War rifleman stalked, no matter the cleverness of his camouflage or subtlty of his firing position, once he fired, his location was instantly detected. For the second a blackpoder sharpshooter pulled the trigger, his muzzle spewed a six foot sooty plume that lung in the air. Spotting this conspicuous signature, his enemies had almost two minutes for eight volleys and a quick bayonet assault before the rifleman could reload and fire. Further, unlike a smoothbore musket, the rifle lacked a bayonet, forcing the rifleman to rely on his trusty tomahawk to take on his assaulting foes “Indian-style.”This was no small disadvantage.[9]

General Washington well understood these strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, with Boston secured, he transferred most riflemen to his under-strength smoothbore musket regiments, retaining a few detachments to scout or defend the frontier from British Indian raids.[10]

Additional Remarks (if any):

Born at "Arcadia" plantation in Kent County, Maryland, on March 7, 1745. He later migrated to Tyrone Township, in Fayette County, Pennsylvania and married Mary Harrison. Commissioned a lieutenant in November, 1776 and eventually promoted to captain. Took Oath of Allegiance at Valley Forge. Served until January, 1780. Following the Revolutionary War, he served with George Rogers Clark in Illinois. In 1802, Moore retired from the Kentucky Militia with the rank of major. Died in 1823 and buried in the Lindsay-Moore Cemetery, Harrison County, Kentucky.[11]




January 17, 1779: The armada arrived at Pensacola on January 17, 1779. The first Waldeckers to be taken prisoner fell into the hands of the Spaniards on Lake Pontchartrain because they were ignorant of the state of war between Spain and

England. When Baton-Rouge capitulated, the first 53 prisoriers were joined by nearly half of the 1400-man garrison. The rest of the Waldeckers were sent to New York after the fall of Pensacola, having pledged never to fight the Spaniards again (May 1781). The Waldeckers encamped during September 1781 in Newtown, Long Island, in October 1782 in New York and on November went into winter quarters in Flatbush. A transport of recruits stayed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. On January 21, 1783 the regiment received new flags. The Waldeckers remained in Flatbush until the summer of 1783 and the return voyage from New York began on 25 July 1783 (July 25). [12]



January 17, 1780: Around January 17th the wind changed. We soon made headway and were soon tacking, and shortly the signal was given to heave to against the wind. At times the sea was very high and often completely still. Toward evening three ships raised distress signals, whereupon the troops were taken off and distributed among the fleet.[13]



January 17, 1781

Commander in chief of the Southern Army, Major General Nathaniel Greene had decided to divide Patriot forces in the Carolinas in order to force the larger British contingent under General Charles Cornwallis to fight them on multiple fronts—and because smaller groups of men were easier for the beleaguered Patriots to feed. Daniel Morgan took 300 Continental riflemen and 740 militiamen with the intention of attacking the British backcountry fort, Ninety-Six.[14]

On the morning of January 17, 1781, an hour before daylight scouts reported that the British were just five miles away and closing fast. Morgan formed his men in three lines, 150 sharpshooters in front, the militia in the middle, 450 steadfast Continentals. [15]

In response, Cornwallis dispatched Tarleton with 1,100 Redcoats and Loyalists to catch Morgan, whom he feared might instigate a broad-based backcountry Patriot uprising. Morgan prepared for the encounter with Tarleton by backing his men up to a river at Cowpens, north of Ninety-Six.[16]

The riflemen fired first, then the militia fired their two volleys as ordered and withdrew. Mistaking their withdrawal for a retreat Tarlton ordered a charge, and they slammed straight into the line of continentals. When the American line stood fast, Tarleton sent in his Highlanders. Now the Continentals fell back. Tarleton, seeing another apparent retreat, pursued. Suddenly, at a deadly range, the entire American line turned and fired. [17]



The Americans just blew Tarleton away and that is the reason Cowpens is such a great tactical victory for Americans because it is one of the few times in the war you can actually see that the Americans effectively used the linear tactics, and beat the British at their own game. [18]



Daniel Morgan in the space of about 35 or 40 minutes, just delivered, after Washingtons victory at Trenton, the second most decisive battlefield defeat on the British of the Revolution. He has smashed an elite British force and totally crippled them. [19]



Morgan captured or killed nearly 800 men, 90% of Tarleton’s force. [20] American rifles, scorned by Britain's professional soldiers, proved devastatingly effective in this engagement. The British lost 110 men and more than 200 more were wounded, while an additional 500 were captured. The American losses totaled only 12 killed and 60 wounded in the first Patriot victory to demonstrate that the American forces could outfight a similar British force without any other factors—such as surprise or geography—to assist them.[21]



Joseph C. Vance, a Virginian whose Scotch Irish forefears had emigrated to Virginia long before the Revolutionary War, had fought during the war under General Daniel Morgan, married in 1781, and not long after started West, dwelling for a time at several places along the way. About 1801 he moved into Ohio from May’s Lick, Kentucky, finally settling on a farm two and a half miles north of Urbana.[22] In December of 1807 he married Sarah Wilson and they had ten children. Their son Joseph Vance became the Governor of Ohio in 1836. Joseph Coleville Vance who married Sarah Wilson died May 16, 1809 in Champaign County, Ohio. He is the compilers first cousin, 8 times removed.



The Battle of Cowpens, January 17, 1781 was Morgan’s last battle before retiring. It may have been Joseph C. Vance’s as well.



January 1783



January, 1783. The peace is concluded, and the United States have been declared independent. Adjutant General Stapleton4 was sent to the Congress to bring about as soon as possible the return of the prisoners of war, who are scattered around the entire country. The American pris­oners of war are to be set free at once.[23]



February 1783

Franz Gotlob, born 1752/53 had served 5 years, 8 months since his enlistment in Werneck (Germany) in June of 1777. He was a Grenadier in von Linsingen Grenadier 4th Battalion. On this date in the unit rolls he was “appointed”. [24]

January 17, 1823













January 17, 1863: Dr. William McKinnon Goodlove (1st cousin, 3 times removed) and the 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Moved to Youngt’s Point, La., January 17-21, and duty there till March.[26]



Sun. January 17, 1864

Packed up my goods a pleasant day[27]



January 17th, 1865: At 2 o’clock the morning of the 17th our Steamer stopped. We saw flashes of canons and heard heavy firing. At first it was supposed to be a vessel in distress. It was afterwards supposed to be our gun boats off Charleston or Wilmington. At this time the sea was heavy and very windy.[28]

January 17, 1865: General William T. Sherman's army is rained in at Savannah, Georgia, as it waits to begin marching into the Carolinas.

In the fall of 1864, Sherman and his army marched across Georgia and destroyed nearly everything in their path. Sherman reasoned that the war would end sooner if the conflict were taken to the civilian South, a view shared by President Lincoln and General-in-Chief Ulysses S. Grant. Sherman's men tore up railroads, burned grain stores, carried away livestock, and left plantations in ruins. The Yankees captured the port city of Savannah just before Christmas, and Sherman paused for three weeks to rest his troops and resupply his force.

After his rest, he planned to move into the Carolinas and subject those states to the same brutal treatment that Georgia received. His 60,000 troops were divided into two wings. General Oliver O. Howard was to take two corps and move northeast to Charleston, South Carolina, while General Henry Slocum was to move northwest toward Augusta, Georgia. These were just diversions to the main target: Columbia, South Carolina.

As Sherman was preparing to move, the rains began. On January 17, the Yankees waited while heavy rains pelted the region. The downpour lasted for ten days, the heaviest rainfall in 20 years. Some of Sherman's aides thought a winter campaign in the Carolinas would be difficult with such wet weather, but Sherman had spent four years in Charleston as a young lieutenant in the army, and he believed that the march was possible. He also possessed an army that was ready to continue its assault on the Confederacy. Sherman wrote to his wife that he "...never saw a more confident army...The soldiers think I know everything and that they can do anything."

Sherman's army did not begin moving until the end of the month. When the army finally did move, it conducted a campaign against South Carolina that was worse than that against Georgia. Sherman wanted to exact revenge on the state that had led secession and started the war by firing on Fort Sumter. [29]

W. H. GOODLOVE (Died January 17, 1916)



For a period of forty-three years W. H. Goodlove has been continuously identified with the development and improvement of his farm, which is a productive tract comprising two hundred and forty acres, situated on sections 27 and 28, Maine township. During this time his labors have not only advanced his individual interests but have also done much toward public progress and improvement in the locality which has long been his home.

He was born in Clark county, Ohio, October 22, 1836, a son of Conrad and Katharine (McKinnon) Goodlove, the former born in West Virginia and the Iater in Kentucky. They became early settlers of Ohio and in that state the father enlisted for service in the war of 1812. The year 1854 witnessed the arrival of the family in Linn county, Iowa, the father purchasing land in Marion township. His wife had died prior to his removal here, her death occurring in the Buckey state in 1849. He was not long permitted to enjoy his new home in Linn County for his death occurred here in 1861. His family numbered six children only two are now living, the sister of our subject being Mary Ann, of Columbus, Ohio.

W. H. Goodlove was reared in the state of his nativity and acquired his education in the common schools. He had reached mature years when he accompanied his father and the other members of the family on their removal to Linn county and here he assisted in establishing a home in what was then a comparatively new district. He remained with his father until the latter's death and at the outbreak of the Civil war enlisted for service as a member of Company H, Twenty-fourth Iowa Infantry, with which he served for two years. He participated in a number of hotly contested engagements, and, after making a most creditable military record, was mustered out at Davenport. He then returned to Linn county began farming on the old homestead but in 1867 bought the farm on which he has since made his home, embracing two hundred and forty acres on sections 27 and 28, Maine township. He has made the improvements which are now seen on the farm, including a comfortable country residence, a substantial barn and ontbuildings for the shelter of grain and stock. His fields annually yield abundant harvests, for his land is in a productive state, while in the pastures are seen good grades of stock, for he has always made a specialty of raising stock in addition to general farming. He has become a prosperous man, owing to the capable management and unfaltering enterprise which he displays in the conduct of his business interests.

On the 22d of June, 1866, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Goodlove and Miss Sarah C. Pyle, who was born in Clark county, Ohio, May 15, 1844 and prior to her marriage engaged in teaching. Her parents, John and Catherine Myers) Pyle, were both natives of West Virginia, whence they removed to Ohio in pioneer times, the father there passing away in 1846. The mother made her home with her daughter Mrs. Goodlove, until her death in 1894, when she departed this life at the age of eighty eight years. Mrs. Goodlove is the youngest in their family of six children.

Unto our subject and his wife have been born six children, three daughters and three sons, as follows: Nettie I., the wife of Richard Gray, a resident of San Antonio, Texas; Willis R., of Maine township; Oscar S.; Cora A., the wife of Thomas Wilkinson, also of Maine township. Earl L., who also resides in the same township; and Jessie P., the wife of Richard Boudish, of Maine township.

The parents are members of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Goodlove is a republican in his political views and has served as township trustee and as member of the school board. He is a member of Milon Mills Post, No. 212, G.A.R. He is as loyal to the interests of his country today as he was in the dark days of the Civil war when he followed the old flag on southern battle fields. He is now one of the few remaining veterans and, having spent an upright and honorable life, receives the veneration and respect which should ever be accorded to one of his years.[30]

PASSED AWAY AT RIPE OLD AGE

Wm. H. Goodlove, Another Old Soldier and Settler, Died January 18.



Wm. H. Goodlove, an old settler and acquaintances are many, died Monday evening about 9 o'clock. The news of his death came as a shock to many. He had been sick with the grip but was recovering when he was overcome by heart failure and passed peacefully away.



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 and Catherine Goodlove, Oct. 22, 1836 in Clark county, H. 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, exept one sister, Mary A. Davis of Columbus, O. who has reached the mark of 87 years, have preceeded the deceased into the other room of the many mansioned home.

The first sixteen yers 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 mjerity 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 Infanty. Here as a private soldier he put his ....his duties a s a true patriot, which terminated in a broken health. About.... 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 Netti, Oscar, Willis, Cora, Earl and Jessie. The first to break the ties of this happy group was Nettie, who had married Mr. Gray of San Antonio. Te., when she departed this life, in September, 1911.

This coming June would have been the 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Goodlove. At Wild Cat Grove the family made their home untill 1869 when they moved to a farm a few miles south of Central City where they lived for four and forty years.

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 experienced a 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 endeared 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.

Thanks for passing this along Linda!

January 17, 1936: Sulamith Gottlieb, born January 17, 1936. Resided Nordhausen. Deportation: October 28, 1938, to Bentschen. Deported. Date of death unknown.[33]



January 17, 1941: Dagobert Gottlieb, born January 21, 1907 in Berlin. Resided Berlin. Deportation: January 17, 1941, Auschwitz.[34]

January 17, 1943: Berlin Bishop Konrad Graf von Preysing, the only top German Catholic prelate who consistently opposes the German government's Jewish policies, threatens Pope Pius XII, saying he will resign unless the collaborative behavior of the other German bishops comes to an end.[35]



January 17, 1945: The Red Army entered Budapest and the remaining 120,000 of the original 470,000 Jews would now be safe from any further disaster.[36]



January 17, 1945: Final roll call is taken at Auschwitz: 11,102 Jews remain at Birkenau; 10,381 women in the Birkenau women's camp; 10,030 at the Auschwitz main camp; 10,233 at the Monowitz satellite camp; and about 22,800 in the remaining factories in the surrounding region.[37]



January 17, 1945: SS guards at the Chelmno, Poland, death camp play "William Tell" by shooting at bottles placed on the heads of Jewish inmates who have been engaged in demolishing the camp's crematoria. In the evening, the remaining Jews are led from their barracks in groups of five and shot. One of the prisoners, Mordechai Zurawski, stabs an SS guard and escapes despite suffering a gunshot wound to the foot. A second inmate, Shimon Srebnik, also survives after being shot through the neck and mouth and left for dead. Forty-seven other Jewish prisoners at Chelmno, aware that the SS will shoot them before fleeing west ahead of the Soviets, take refuge in a building that is then set afire by the SS. Jews who run from the blaze are machine-gunned; only one of the original 47 survives. The SS abandons the Chelmno camp later in the day.[38]



January 17, 1945: The Soviet Army entered Warsaw. Only 200 Jews of more than a half a million had survived.[39] Warsaw was a battleground since the opening day of fighting in the European theater. Germany declared war by launching an air raid on September 1, 1939, and followed up with a siege that killed tens of thousands of Polish civilians and wreaked havoc on historic monuments. Deprived of electricity, water, and food, and with 25 percent of the city's homes destroyed, Warsaw surrendered to the Germans on September 27.

The USSR had snatched a part of eastern Poland as part of the "fine print" of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact (also known as the Hitler-Stalin Pact) signed in August 1939, but soon after found itself at war with its "ally." In August 1944, the Soviets began pushing the Germans west, advancing on Warsaw. The Polish Home Army, fearful that the Soviets would march on Warsaw to battle the Germans and never leave the capital, led an uprising against the German occupiers. The Polish residents hoped that if they could defeat the Germans themselves, the Allies would help install the Polish anticommunist government-in-exile after the war. Unfortunately, the Soviets, rather than aiding the Polish uprising, which they encouraged in the name of beating back their common enemy, stood idly by and watched as the Germans slaughtered the Poles and sent survivors to concentration camps. This destroyed any native Polish resistance to a pro-Soviet communist government, an essential part of Stalin's postwar territorial designs.

After Stalin mobilized 180 divisions against the Germans in Poland and East Prussia, Gen. Georgi Zhukov's troops crossed the Vistula north and south of the Polish capital, liberating the city from Germans—and grabbing it for the USSR. By that time, Warsaw's prewar population of approximately 1.3 million had been reduced to a mere 153,000.[40]

January 17, 1961

President Eisenhower warns of the power of the “military-industrial complex,” in his farewell speech.[42]

A fiscal conservative, Eisenhower had been concerned about the growing size and cost of the American defense establishment since he became president in 1953. In his last presidential address to the American people, he expressed those concerns in terms that frankly shocked some of his listeners.

Eisenhower began by describing the changing nature of the American defense establishment since World War II. No longer could the U.S. afford the "emergency improvisation" that characterized its preparations for war against Germany and Japan. Instead, the United States was "compelled to create a permanent armaments industry" and a huge military force. He admitted that the Cold War made clear the "imperative need for this development," but he was gravely concerned about "the acquisition of unwarranted influence...by the military-industrial complex." In particular, he asked the American people to guard against the "danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite."

Eisenhower's blunt language stunned some of his supporters. They believed that the man who led the country to victory in Europe in World War II and guided the nation through some of the darkest moments of the Cold War was too negative toward the military-industrial complex that was the backbone of America's defense. For most listeners, however, it seemed clear that Eisenhower was merely stating the obvious. World War II and the ensuing Cold War resulted in the development of a large and powerful defense establishment. Necessary though that development might be, Eisenhower warned, this new military-industrial complex could weaken or destroy the very institutions and principles it was designed to protect. [43]
