This Day…

January 6, 548: This was the last year the Church in Jerusalem observed the birth of Jesus on this date. (Celebrating Christmas on December 25th began in the late 300s in the Western Church.)[1]

January 630: The Quraysh violated the nonaggression treaty, and in January 630 Muhammad led a 10,000 –man army to Mecca. When the Muslims arrived, they found the Meccans dispirited, and the city was surrendered without a fight. Muhammad treated the defeated Meccans with mercy, which was more than he could have expected had the outcome been reversed. One of his first actions, though, was to enter the Kaaba and destroy the hundreds of idols located within. From this point forward the sacred building was to be dedicated to Allah alone. The destruction of the idols showed the people of Mecca how truly powerless their gods had been, and they were grateful for Muhammad’s leniency. Soon most of the Meccans had become Muslims.[2]

632: The first case of officially sanctioned forced baptism. Emperor Heraclius violates the ‘Codex Theodosianus, which protected them from forced conversions.[3]

January 6, 1192, despite the weather and everything Saladin threw at them Richard and his army reached the ruined town of Beit Nuba. Jerusalem was now within their grasp. Richard realizes an attack would mean annialation. He turns back. [4]

January 6, 1449: In an unusual move, Constantine XI is crowned Byzantine Emperor at Mistra instead of at Constantinople. His reign would be a short one. He would lose his throne in 1453 when Constantinople fell to the Ottomans under Mehmed II. Constantine was the last Emperor and the last Christian ruler of what was left of the Roman Empire. The Moslem Ottoman Empire would prove to be a haven for Jews fleeing from persecution in Christian Europe. Also, Mehmed worked to insure that a significant portion of the population of Istanbul (the new name for Constantinople) would be Jewish.[5]

In the mid 1400’s the Sinclair’s built Rosslyn Chapel, of Divinci Code fame. Here obscured in shadow, a now familiar symbol, the hooked X, the same rare mark found on the Kensington rune stone. The Sinclair family was one of the original Nights Templar families. [6]

1452-1453

A major eruption that might have affected global climate was in 1452-1453 when records were much less complete.[7]

1453 Jews expelled from Breslau and Franconis.[8]

January 6, 1481: In Spain, during the Inquisition, the priests inaugurated the fist auto-da-fe.[9]

January 6, 1693: Mehmed IV, the Ottoman Sultan passed away. During his reign, Moses Beberi was appointed ambassador to Sweden. After his death in 1674 his son Yehuda was appointed to the position ambassador. When the Jews of the Ukraine were looking for a place of refuge during the Cossack Uprising Mehmet IV, allowed them to settle on the banks of the Danube in Morea, Kavala, Istanbul and Salonica. The second event happens in 1666. Rabbi Sabetay Sevi declares himself messiah and causes turmoil. Mehmed was also the sultan who had to deal with Sabbati Zevi, the famous false messiah.[10]

January 6, 1706: Birthdate of Benjamin Franklin, printer, publisher, scientist, statesmen and a man who was far greater than his parts. “Franklin knew the Hebrew scriptures (what we call the Bible) very well. He had even suggested that the Great Seal of America depict Moses standing on the shore of the Red Sea, while Pharaoh drowns in his chariot in its midst. The motto at the bottom of the seal would have read: ‘Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.’ You see Franklin was among those Founding Fathers who saw in the American Revolution a replaying of the story of the Jewish Exodus from Egypt. King George III was the Pharaoh. George Washington was Moses. The Atlantic Ocean was the Red Sea. And, it was as if God were saying to King George: ‘Let my American people go!’ It is also important to point out that when the Jewish community in Philadelphia built their synagogue, which they named “Mikveh Israel,” Franklin contributed to the building fund himself. On July 4, 1788, Franklin was too sick and weak to get out of bed, but the Independence Day parade in Philadelphia marched right under his window. And, as Franklin himself had directed, ‘the clergy of different Christian denominations, with the rabbi of the Jews, walked arm in arm. And when he was carried to his grave two years later, his casket was accompanied by all the clergymen of the city, every one of them, of every faith.”[11]

1707

He (Andrew Harrison 2) married Elizabeth, daughter of

Col. Lawrence Smith, of Gloucester county, and in his will,

dated January 21, and proved in Essex, February 1707-8, named his wife,

his sons John, Hay, Lawrence and Nicholas and daughter

Elizabeth. [12]



Sunday January 6, 1754

January 6, 1759: (GW) marries Martha Dandridge Custis, widow of Daniel Parke Custis. Washington assumes parental care of her children, Martha ("Patsy") and John Parke ("Jacky").[14]

1759 Ann Crawford, d/o Elizabeth Vance[18] marries James Connell, brother to Zachariah Connell. [19]



Zachariah Connell, a son of James & Ann Williams Connell, married (1) Rebecca Rice and (2) Margaret Wallace. He died in 1813 and is buried on a hill overlooking Connellsville. Many of his descendants moved west, but there are still Connell’s in Connellsville.[20]

1759 MAP OF THE COUNTRY BETWEEN WILLS CREEK AND FORT DUQUESNE, from The Grand Magazine of Universal Intelligence and Monthly Chronicle of Our Times, January 1759, London: R. Griffiths & J. Hoey. This map is based upon a drawing by Capt. William Orme, an aide-de-camp to General Braddock, showing the march to the French Fort Duquesne (Pittsburgh) in 1755 that ended in disaster. It includes southwestern Pennsylvania, northern Virginia and western Maryland. Wills Creek is at Cumberland, Maryland, and the Virginians built a fort there that was the jumping off point for expeditions to the west. Numbers along the route of march refer to an explanatory table on a larger scale version of this map which was eventually published in Thomas Jeffrey's A General Topography of North America and the West Indies (1768), along with several others made by Orme. These maps are illustrated in Swift and also in Schwartz (1994). The map has a cartouche with a hanging vine and a compass rose. Longitude is west from Philadelphia, unusual for a map published in England, and indicates the map was prepared in America. Blank verso. Scale:1"=17 miles. Size: 8 x 5 inches. [21]



1759

At this period John of Mishinish resided at the family estate of that name in the northern part of the Island of Mull. He is said to have died there circa. 1759 but there is some reason to suppose that he followed his sons across the Atlantic.[22]



1759



"Among the earliest known records in America concerning the Reverend Daniel McKinnon, are those of Trinity Church, New Haven (now Connellsville), Pennsylvania, wherein, in the year 1880, which marked its hundredth anniversary, the 16th of December ( December 16) was set apart to hold a commemorative service. There were present... the Reverend W. G. Stonex, who read a paper, the subject of which was “Ministers Who Have Officiated In Trinity Church, 1780-1880." In connection with that early day (1759), we meet the name of the Reverend D. Allison (note: Law. Harrison Dr. married an Allison), who is referred to as "the Chaplain of a small detachment of 100 men" who were sent out to open a road-way to this region. This person, who was an undoubted clergyman of the church, and held regular Sunday services, could not have been the first christian minister in these parts. At a later day than this, yet still before the Revolutionary War, we are made aware, that there came to this vicinity, as a Church Clergyman, the Reverend Daniel McKinnon, tho "where he resided cannot be ascertained, nor do we know at what points he ministered, except that his name and labors are associated with the Church at Beaver." [23]







January 6, 1773



Tuesday (David McClure) rode to Mr. White’s. Appointed to preach tomorrow at Stewart’s crossings.[24]



January 6, 1778: The early courts of Westmoreland County appear by their records to have been regularly held from April 6, 1773, to the second Tuesday of April, 1776. Observe that this last date was but a short time before the meeting of the Provincial Conference at Carpenter’s Hall, Philadelphia, resulting in the great Declaration of Independence by the American colonies. At this session there were orders made relating to township lines, roads, and recognizances in criminal cases; and then there was an interregnum, and there are no records-of any court held for Westmoreland County afterward until January 6, 1778. But the court for Yohogania County continued right along in a varied and extensive business, as will appear from the transcript of its records now publishing. [25]



January 6, 1838: Twenty-three months were required for the legal procedure of this docutrent. This time sent in Ohio, after which time, (January 6, 1838) it was ready for the records in Virginia. On January 6, 1838, it was recorded at Parkersburg, Va. (now W. Va.)with the expiration of only nine days after it left the Court of Common Pleas of Joseph Darlington at West Union, county seat of Adams County, Ohio. One interesting point should not be overlooked in the list of heirs, wherein George Crawford is not mentioned as an heir, but only appointed as Power of Attorney, to represent the heirs of the late Col William Crawford and the late Lt. John Crawford. Referring to the letter of Richard Crawford, written and sent to his Uncle David Bradford, wherein Richard mentions the heirs of Lt. John Crawford and George Crawford is not included with this Crawford branch. Yet after the legal papers of the Power of Attorney had reached the Virginia Court at Parkersburg a change took place in the application and George Crawford’s name was placed at the top of the list of heirs. Once it was received in the Virginia Courts, Josias M. Steed became a legal participant and here George Crawford was declared (or declared himself) to be an heir, to share in this family’s wealth of bounty lands, provided by the war services of Lt. John Crawford and Col. William Crawford.

Notice may be taken to the fact that George Crawford had no legal testimony from his own County of Adams in the State of Ohio to represent him as a lawful heir to Cal. William Crawford and Lt. John Crawford. Neither were his children represented in these two instruments.

Whether the legal requirements of the foregoing document were accurately carried out, is not known, though measures were taken to bind and seal the contents and protect the applicants and the Crawford heirs.[26]



January 6, 1840

In 1999, after unsuccessful research effors in Anne Arundel county, research turned to the Hamilton County, (Cincinnati) Ohio area, where Eleanor is bureid, to re-establish available information with the goal of working back to Maryland. Considerable information was obtained from the Genealogy Section of the Cincinnati Public Library and local Cemeteries, most of which confirmed what had been known. One notable exception was Eleanor's date of death that according to tombstone records of Finneytown Cemetery was January 6, 1840.[27] [28]



Rev Ege also reproted Eleanor's date of death as January 5, 1845 rather than the January 6, 1840 that is listed in the tombstone inscription records for Fineytown Cemetery. [29] [30]

In 1842, the family (Julia Amelia Connell, daughter of James Swearingn and Eliza (Mendell) Connell) moved to Upper Sandusky, OHio, where her father, for a time, ran the Walker House, mentioned by Charles Dickens, as a place once visited during his tour of United States.

When children, Julia and Mary, were often permitted to gather unused food from the tables after the dining room had closed. They would play store and sell their wares through a window to the Indians, who were plentiful about Upper Sandusky, at that time. Though not highly lucrative, the enterprose gained popularity among the customers and the Connell girls felt rich with the pennies they collected.[31]

The horses were taken to water in a stream below the tavern. The girls often rode the horse on the watering trips. On one occasion, when Julia and Mary rode bareback on the same horse, the animal descended where the bank was quite steep and when its fron feet slipped into the water to firm ground, it lowered its head to drink and the girls slid forward down its long neck and into the stream. Athe time, many Wyandots were present and amused by the girl’s misfortune and they burst into laughter. The old Chief who know the firls, went into the water and pulled them out and set them back on the horse., As the girls rode away, slightly embarrassed, the Chief and the others were still laughing.[32]



Wed. January 6, 1864

Went to Iowa city on stage slinger very cold left for davenport at 11:00 arrived at 2:40 took breakfast at the Penn house 4 ½ very sleepy[33]



January 6th, 1865

The 6th of January, 1865, the Twenty-fourth bade farewell to the Shenandoah Valley, and was thoroughly chilled by standing four hours in a freezing rain while the train was loaded. Dripping wet, the entire brigade of the 24th was crowded aboard the train cars. The fortunate were packed into the boxcars, but many had to suffer the elements in open flatcars or atop the boxcars. The regiment disembarked at Camp Carroll near Baltimore, Maryland.[34] The regiment was there quartered in stables, which the troops claimed had mjust been evacuated by horses because it only had a roof,[35] an insult which could have been nowhere else offered to troops who had proudly borne the colors of the Union at Port Gibson, Champion Hills, Vicksburg, Jackson, Sabine Cross Roads, Winchester, Fisher’s Hill, and Cedar Creek.[36]

Camp guards were posted, but peddler women soon swarmed along the guard line Rigbyu reported, “some of the western outlaws had the audacity to run by the guard and got to town.” The Iowans stole some of “Uncle Sam’s hay to make beds,” and throwing their tents over the horse stall, Ribby’s mess mates set up a small portable stove and slept comfortably. A fight developed during the night between some western and eastern regiments in which side arms, guns, and brickbats were used freely. Rigby reported that several men were wounded though not seriously, and the 24th had not been involved. The temperate private reportede the eastern regiments were generally drunk and riotous, but not so with the 24th. A commotion was raised when a sutler set up in camp, while the women peddlers were kept beyond the guards. An unsuccessful attempt was made to drive the sutler out by the temperance regiment’s eastern neighbors.[37]





January 6, 1865[38]

The Twenty-forth Iowa left Winchester and proceeded by rail to Baltimore, thence by steamship to Savannah, Ga., where it went into camp and remained for two months. It then moved to Morehead City N. C., and, from that point, to Goldboro and Raleigh, escorting transportation trains. After the surrender of the rebel General Johnston’s army, it returned to Savannah, moved thence to Augusta, Ga. with the Twenty-second and Twenty-eighth Iowa, crosses the river at Augusta and went into camp near the town of Hamburg, S. C., where it remained until the 6th of June, when, with the other Iowa regiments[39], it was ordered to return to Savannah.[40]



January 6, 1916

Ed Andrews, Dell Andrews and Harold Goodlove were Cedar Rapids visitors Friday.[41]



January 6, 1916

Willis Goodlove has been quite ill with the grip for several days.[42]



January 6, 1916

Mr. William Goodlove, who last week had pneumonia, is getting better, but Mrs. Goodlove has been very sick this week.[43]



January 6, 1929: Sarah Catherine Pyle, born June 20, 1866, in Hastings, Minnesota. Sarah was born May 15, 1844, in Moorefield Township, Clark County, Ohio, daughter of John Ingraham Pyle and Catherine (Myers) Pyle. Sarah died Jan­uary 6, 1929 and is buried at Jordan’s Grove. Prior to her mar­riage, Sarah was a school teacher. To their union was born seven children: Nettie, Willis, Oscar, Cora, Earl, and Jessie, whose twin died at birth. [44]

Happy New Year Jeff



I recently read an article in the Washington Post Magazine regarding a Prof. James Starrs.

He is currently working on getting Merriwether Lewis's remains exhumed to determine wether he committed suicide or not.



I have sent him info regarding the skull and hopefully

he can give me some advice on what to do about making sure the Count's skull doesn't languish at Rutgers for another 49 years.



If I had my way, those Hessians killed at Ft. Mercer, including the Count's Skull, would be reinterred at the site with some sort of memorial raised over their grave.



But that is a tall order.



Bob







Bob,



The connection to Meriwether Lewis to the Goodlove and Allied families is that William Clark (Lewis and Clark) was George Rogers Clark’s brother who is frequently quoted mentioned in “This Day” as several family members served with him during the American Revolution.



With modern forensics they might be able to determine whether Lewis committed suicide. It is interesting that there were “multiple gunshots”. It seems likely that if Clark was talking to himself and the tavern owner took issue with the noise that some sort of conflict could have developed.



As to the moving of the Hessians who were killed at Redbank during the American revolution, I do believe some sort of monument or plaque should be should be placed in their honor as a part of American history. I wonder what it would take to get that done? I know the Daughters of the American Revolution have gotten the job done for the Americans. As to the reburial I am not sure if it is necessary. I could see an event such as a reenactment of the battle of Redbank followed by a dedication ceremony with both American and Hessian reenactors taking part. They did this when they honored my 6th great grandfather William Crawford at Sandusky. It was quite an event with a large crowd. Here is a photo of the Ceremony honoring William Crawford and the monument and of the plaque.



.Meriwether Lewis (August 18, 1774 – October 11, 1809) was an American explorer, soldier, and public administrator, best known for his role as the leader of the Lewis and Clark Expedition also known as the Corps of Discovery, with William Clark, whose mission was to explore the territory of the Louisiana Purchase.



On September 3, 1809, Lewis set out for Washington D.C. where he hoped to resolve issues regarding the denied payment of drafts he had drawn against the War Department while serving as the first American governor of the Louisiana Territory. Lewis started out with the intention of traveling to Washington by ship from New Orleans but changed his plans while in route down the Mississippi and decided to make an overland journey via the Natchez Trace instead. The Natchez Trace was the old pioneer road between Natchez, Mississippi and Nashville, Tennessee. On October 10, 1809 he stopped at an inn on the Natchez Trace called Grinder's Stand, about 70 miles (110 km) from Nashville, Tennessee. Lewis requested a glass of whiskey almost as soon as he climbed down from his horse. After he excused himself from dinner, he went to his bedroom. In the predawn hours of October 11, the innkeeper heard gunshots. Servants found Lewis badly injured from multiple gunshot wounds. He died shortly after sunrise.



While modern historians generally accept his death as a suicide, there is some debate.[9] Mrs. Grinder, the tavern-keeper's wife, claimed Lewis acted strangely the night before his death. She said that during dinner Lewis stood and paced about the room talking to himself in the way one would speak to a lawyer. She observed his face to flush as if it had come on him in a fit. After he retired for the evening, Mrs. Grinder continued to hear him talking to himself. At some point in the night she heard multiple gunshots, and what she believed was someone asking for help. She claimed to be able to see Lewis through the slit in the door crawling back to his room. She never explained why, at the time, she didn't investigate further concerning Lewis's condition or the source of the gunshots. The next morning, she sent for Lewis's servants, who found him weltering in his blood but alive for several hours.



When Clark and Jefferson were informed of Lewis' death, both accepted it as suicide, but his family contended it was murder. In later years a court of inquiry explored whether they could charge the tavern-keeper with Lewis' death. They dropped the inquiry for lack of evidence or motive.[4][45]

[18] Ann Crawford, the oldest daughter of Colonel William Crawford was born about 1743 in Virginia and spent her early life on the Crawford homestead in Frederick County. In 1759, at the approximate age of sixteen, she married James Connell, a son of James and Ann (Williams) Connell., who in 1740 had migrated to the Upper Shenandoah Valley from Maryland. James Connell, the younger, was born in 1742 and raised in the vicinity of Fredericksburg. James and Ann were attracted quite early to the Youghiogheny Valley in Pennsylvania, by her father and with their small family, soon joined the Crawford family at Stewarts Crossing. The journey was undoubtly made over Braddock’s Old Road, then the most accessible route into that region, which at that date, was a wilderness. The trip was supposedly made soon after Mr. Crawford brought the first of his family to their new homes. From the earliest land survey, of what later became Fayette County, Pennsylvania, it shows that Ann Connell held a Virginia Warrant, dated in 1767. This claim was not adjusted until October 31, 1785, more than a year after her death.

Following James Connell to the Youghiogheny, came his half— brother William and half-sister Rachel, who married Reason Began; an older brother Zachariah, who later founded Connellsville, and a younger brother Thomas. James Connell’s name is third in a list of twenty-four names on Lt. John Hickston’s Roll of Virginia Soldiers of 1776.. He supposedly died during the early part of the Revolutionary period, for later record of him seems to be lacking. It is quite likely that Ann was a widow prior to 24 January 1777, at which time her father acquired a deed from Ezekial Hickman, etal (and others), party of the one part, for three hundred acres, more or less, containing the home where Ann Connell and her family were living. Below the signature of William Crawford, party of the other part, was also the signature of Ann Connell and the document was witnessed by Providence Mounts, Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Moore, all of that date of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The deed recorded the 28th of February 1784. It became part of Colonel William Crawford’s estate that was left to Ann in his will, signed on May 16, 1782, before the tragic Sandusky Expedition. Will Book 1, page 9, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.

Records in the family of John Rice Connell, nephew of Ann (Crawford) Connell, indicate that Ann was married secondly to her brother-in-law, William Connell. We find in the Connell History From Sources of Information of Zachariah Connell and his Descendants’ by Colonel M. A. Reasoner, 1932, that ‘Aunt Mary’ (Aunt Mary Ortman, see No. 53, page 26), has heard her father (John Rice Connell) say that his grandfather came from Ireland; that he was from the O’Connell family and at the same time, had dropped the ‘0’ and that he married a German woman for a second wife; that William Connell who married Annie Crawford, was a half-brother of Zachariah. They lived at Fredericksburg, Virginia. Aunt Mary thinks that the girl-sister was also a half-sister of Zachariah’s.

Mary Connell Ortman, wife of Reverend Simon Ortman of New Salem, Ohio, was born in Adams County, Ohio in 1827 and was living in 1894. She was the youngest and last surviving child of John Rice Connell and his second wife, Rachel Wykoff. John Rice Connell was the son of Zachariah and Rebecca (Rice) Connell. In the statement of Mary Ortman, she seems to have confused the tradition about her father’s grandfather, James Connell, who was the son of Thomas and was the same James who brought his family to Virginia, with the tradition about her father’s great-great-grand­father, James Connell, who came from Ireland to Maryland in 1678. To confuse the lives and events dealing with early ancestors of the same name, but of different generations is a common mistake often made in stories of traditional recollection, when without the assistance of recorded history.

Court records show that the Connells were early of Frederick County, Virginia. William Connell, the half-brother of Zachariah, became a Captain with the Westoreland County Militia 1778 to 1783. His marriage with Ann Connell could well have existed between dates in part; may have influenced Ann’s oldest son, John in his decision to leave the home place. John Rice Connell, the latter John’s first cousin, was sixteen years old when his Aunt, Ann Connell died. He would have more clearly recalled Ann’s second marriage with his Uncle William than that of her first marriage with his Uncle James Connell, who died when John Rice Connell was a small boy. If Mary Ortman’s statement is correct, it may be assumed that Captain William Connell died before the death of Colonel William Crawford and Ann Connell, for further record of him seems lacking and he is not mentioned in either the will or settlement of Ann’s estate. Ann Connell signed her will on the 17th of May, 1783 in Westmoreland County and it was proved the 23 of March, 1784. (Will Book 1, page 13, Fayette County, Pennsylvania).

She made bequeaths to her son, John Connell, money, to son William, one-half of her plantation, to son James Connell, the other half of the plantation. She made smaller bequeaths to her daughters, Nancy and Polly Connell. She named Zachariah Connell, Providence Mounts the executors. The will was signed by three witnesses, Samuel, Zachariah Connell and Thomas Hews. (Contributed by, accredited to and by permission of Dr. Samuel Adams of Portsmouth, Ohio, 1964, who is a descendant of Col. William Crawford, through Ann (Crawford) Connell.)
