This Day…

7,000 BC Farming is said to be the occupation of Cain, son of Adam and Eve. (Genesis 4:21)[1]

7,000 BC: Neolithic Jericho shows highly developed civilization, marked by animal domestication, cereal cultivation, tool making, and foreign trade.[2]

[3]

6,200 to 5,700 B.C.

[4]

6,100-3,300 B.C. Samarra Period.

The story of Noah’s ark is told in the Torah, Bible, and the Koran.[5]

The story of Noah is also a part of Islamic scriptures, and Muslims revere Noah as a great messenger. The Islamic account relates that, in addition to his family and the animals, Noah is also allowed to save a group of friends who believe in God. [6]

The tale of Noah is not the only ancient flood story. Many early cultures around the world have myths that tell the story of a great flood that destroyed civilization. In the Sumerian epic, Gilgamesh( predating Genesis written between 2700 and 2500 B.C.E.), the unhappy Gods bring a flood to punish the people as do the flood myths of the Romans, Greeks and Persians.[7]

On nearly every continent across the world you find legends and mythology you find a very similar story. In Irish legends, in Norse legends, in Native American legends, in legends of tribes in Mexico, the same story of world wide flood where only a few survive by building a boat, by building some sort of vessel, by clinging to a raft.[8]

Columbia University geologists Walter Pittman and William Ryan believe these myths are an echo of a prehistoric flood. Almost every group of people in the world has a flood legend. The flood of the Gilgemeshivic, and the biblical flood, plus some of the other flood legends, that existed amongst the people of the area of Mesopotamia, can be best be explained by the Black Sea flood.[9]

Black Sea megaflood. 8000 years ago a catastrophic flood may have submerged a land mass twice the size of Ireland in a geological instant forcing hundreds of thousands of people to abandon their homes and relocate to the far corners of the globe. It is perhaps the greatest flood the world has ever seen. [10]

Asia minor, at a point where the continents of Europe and Asia meet, a narrow strip of land separating the cradle of civilization from the vast Mediterranean sea gives way. The deluge literally reshapes the face of the globe. This immense flood could have been the most destructive event the world had ever seen. It created the body of water we know today as the Black Sea. [11]

January 8, 1169

In the fifth attempt, Shirkuh entered Cairo in triumph. Gloriously, he proclaimed himself to hbe the new kingt of Egypt, and then, abruptly died two months later./ Poison was suspected.[12]

Between 1164 and 1169, while successive Crusader attacks sought unsuccessfully to undermine the grip of Damascus on Egypt, Nur ad-Din and Saladin developed an increasingly tense relationship after Saladin balked at certain directives from Damscus.[13]

1170 A.D. A man from Snowdonia, Wales sets sail for America according to Welsh legend a discoveres Mobile, Alabama. In 1950 the daughters of the Revolution put up a plaque in Mobile commemorating the discovery. It since has been removed. Beginning up the Alabama river the Welsh traversed to Disoto Falls. The Welsh built a fortification. The Welsh were said to assimilated with the Mandan tribe. It would have been a 300 day journey each way. Maddock is said to have done it twice.[14]

January 8, 1297: Monaco gains its independence when Francesco Grimaldi and his men captured the fortress protecting the Rock of Monaco. Monaco has been ruled by the House of Grimaldi. Any Jews living in Monaco from the 14th century until the start of World War II were usually Ashkenazim fleeing from France. An organized Jewish community was established in 1948. Almost half of the Jewish community is made up of British Jews living in Monte Carlo.[15]

January 8, 1324: Venetian traveler Marco Polo, who visited China, then under the Yuan Dynasty, in the late 13th century and described the prominence of Jewish traders in Beijing, passed away.[16]

1414:In the year 1414 a Heinrich von Hachberg is mentioned by K. Baas, also a Master Heinrich 1425/1440, finally a physician by the same name as a houseowner before 1460.[17]

January 8, 1414: The Disputation of Tortosa, one of the famous disputations between Jews and Christians of the Middle Ages, which was held in the city of Tortosa, Spain resumed.[18]

January 8, 1575: Many Marranos were among the victims of the Auto de Fe at Seville.[19]

1578: In A.D. 1578, (temp. James VI.) an order from the Privy Council was sent to Donald MacKinnon of Strathordell, probably a brother of the Chief as well as to MacLean of Duart, forbidding them to assist Colin, sixth Earl of Argyle in an expedition against the Laird of Glengarry. These decided measures seem to have checked the Earl's proceedings.[20]

1598: Henry IV of France issued the Edict of Nantes, granting full religious freedom to his subjects.[21].

January 8, 1598: Expulsion of the Jews from Genoa, Italy.[22]

January 8, 1601: Eruption of Huaynaputina in Peru.[23] It had a global impact on human society. The eruption is known to have put a large amount of sulfur into the atmosphere and tree ring studies show that 1601 was a cold year, but no one had looked at the agricultural and social impacts.

Sulfur reacts with water in the air to form droplets of sulfuric acid, which cool the planet by reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the earth’s surface. But the droplets soon fall back to Earth, so the cooling effects last only about a year or so.

In Russia, 1601-1603 brought the worst famine in the country’s history, leading to the overthrow of the reigning tsar. Records from Switzerland, Latvia and Estonia record exceptionally cold winters in 1600 and-1602; in France, the 1601 wine harvest was late, and wine production collapsed in Germany and colonial Peru. In China, peach trees bloomed late, and Lake Suwa in Japan had one of its earliest freezing dates in 500 years.[24]

On January 8, 1601, Lauchlane McKynnon of Strathardill (the son, it is believed, of the preceding Lauchlane) enters into a bond of friendship with Archibald, seventh Earl of Argyle.[25]

January 8, 1782

That Marshel, who was lieutenant of Washington county, had authority to order out the militia, the following will show:

“IN COUNCIl., PHILADELPHIA, Tuesday, January the 8th, 1782.

“Ordered, That the lieutenants of the counties of Westmoreland and Washington be authorized and empowered to call out such and so many militia, according to law, as they may judge necessary for repelling the enemy.”[26]

January 8, 1790: In France, the Deputies excluded the rights of Jews when considering the rules governing the election of municipal officers.[27]

January 8, 1815: (Andrew Jackson, 2nd Cousin, 8 times removed) In the predawn hours of January 8, 1815, groups of British soldiers moved forward to prepare artillery positions on the swampy plain for the day’s attack. Others patrolled in the dark, ready to provide cover fire for the emplacements once completed. At 4 a.m. the rest of the British forces quietly advanced into their assault positions. Their skirmishers got to within 200 yards of Line Jackson.

All through the night the Americans had listened to digging and hammering from the British position. “We distinctly heard men at work in the enemy’s different batteries,” Arsene Lacarriere Latour, Jackson’s chief engineer, recalled in his memoirs. “The strokes of hammers gave ‘note of preparation, ‘ and resounded even within our lines; and our outposts informed us that the enemy was reestablishing his batterises. In our camp, all was composure; the officers were ordered to direct their subalterns to be ready on the first signal. Half the troops passed the night behind the breastwork, relieving each other occasionally. Everyone waited for day with anxiety and impatience, but with calm intrepidity; expecting to be vigorously attacked.”

The British plan was actually ingenious; while the artillery kept the American guns busy, the infantry would move forward in two waves. On their right flank, near the cypress swamp, the main infantry force was to advance on the edge of Line Jackson with ladders and fascines to get over the American breastworks. On the British left flank, along a levee road next to the river, light infantry would advance in column, overwhelm American redoubts and breach the ramparts of Line Jackson right where the 7th Infantry was situated. The two enemy forces would act as pincers designed to trap a confused, reeling American army. It didn’t quite work out that way. For one thing, delays in executing the plan meant that the British began their attack, but in broad daylight.

The morning was chilly and misty. The fog afforded the British some semblance of concealment despite their bright red uniforms. All at once, a British rocket sizzled through the early morning fog. A chorus of voices shouted three cheers. This was the signal to move forward. Immediately, British artillery opened up on the American batteries. In answer, the American artillery, far from being distracted or confused, opened fire and raked the enemy columns. Cannonballs flew back and forth, with Bri9tish balls slamming into the earthen ramparts and American balls slamming into bodies. Still, the British troops advanced closer until they were plainly visible to the Americans, including the men of the 7th Infantry, who were covering the first three artillery batteries along the western edge of the American line.

The British column attack along the levee road clashed with elements of the 7th under Lieutenant Andrew Ross. The soldiers of this advance element occupied a redoubt just in front of the main line, south to the Rodriquez Canal and on the extreme west flank beside the river. The purpose of this position was twofold: First, it afforded a good observation post; second, it allowed American troops to fire into the flanks of any British troops who managed to reach main ramparts. Unfortunately for the defenders, these very advantages also made the redoubt vulnerable to attack. The men in the redoubt had a good view of British activity, most would have said far too good a view, and clear fields of fire. But like any observation post detached from a main defensive line, the redoubt was inadequate in the face of a stronger enemy force. Jackson himself had expressed doubts about the usefulness of the redoubt. Two days earlier, when it was constructed, he told his engineers “That will give us trouble!”

He was right. Although most of the Americans out ahead of the main line were clustered together to small outposts, the redoubt provided the soldiers with no special comfort or protection when they scrambled away from the British and headed for it. The British simply pursued them and entered the redoubt to attack Lieutenant Ross’ company7. Two of his men, a sergeant and a corporal, were killed immediately; Colonel Robert Rennie, the British officer in command of the assault, personally killed the sergeant. Fighting desperately in wet, hand to hand bayonet struggles, Ross’ survivors were either captured or pushed back toward the main line.

As the British cleared the troublesome redoubt, they had a real chance to breach the American line. The Redcoats rushed into the breastworks, led Byu Rennie, who screamed, “The day is ours!” He was brave, but wrong. At this point, a volley of shots from the American line staggered the British troops. Immediately behind the redoubt, eyeball to eyeball with the British, was a small company of some 30 Louisiana riflemen. The British tried to shield themselves with some of the 7th infantrymen they had captured in and around the redoubt, but this tactic failed. The Louisiana riflemen poured steady fire into the British Supporting the riflemen were AMERICAN BATTERIES FIRING GRAPESHOT, AS WELL AS THE MUSKETS OF THE REST OF THE 7TH Infantry. The concentrated firepower ripped into the British troops, who were caught int eh open. Some were hit several times and fell backward; others were beheaded by artillery fire; still others cautht musket balls in bellies or limbs. A shot ripped through Rennie’s calf, but he kept going. Then he took a mortal shot just above the eyebrow, probably the work of a Louisiana rifleman.

At that moment, the 7th Infantry, with bayonets fixed, mounted a major counterattack, chasing ‘British survivors back down the levee road. Some remained behind the parapets and sniped at the retreating enemy. Artillery continued to hurl grapeshot at the fleeing troops, knocking several off their feet.

On the opposite side of Line Jackson, the British attack failed inan even bigger bloodbath. Pakenham was killed, as were several of his key officers. An ancillary British attak on the west bank of the river was more successful, but ultimately it counted for nauight. The great battle was essentially over by midmorning, an almost absurdly short amount of time, givben the months of buildup, tension and preparation, and consequences of the outcome.

The Battle of New Orleans was a slaughter. British casualties that day numbered more than 2,000, while the Americans lost just 70 men, 13 who were killed. Burial details from both sides worked together for days to dispose of the dead. The wounded were carried to nearby homes that had been turned into makeshift hospitals. The level of ghastliness and suffering was reportedly beyond imagination. One British captain recalled hearing the piteous cries of his wounded soldiers and seeing “a basket nearly full of legs severed from these fine fellows.” The British armhy retreated from the field, boarded ships and left. Ironically, this climactic battle was fought after American and British negotiators had concluded a peace treaty at Ghent, Belgium, on Christmas Eve 1814.

But5 on that fateful day in early January 1815, no one in New Orleans knew anything about a treaty. The Americans knew only that their country had been invaded, and they must fight. They proved they could defeat some of the world’s best troops fighting on behalf of the world’s strongest nation. They also proved the lethal efficiency of applied and concentrated firepower, a blend of technology, policy and tactics that would eventually prove the cornerstone of the American way of War.[28]

On the day of battle, the 7th Regiment, which numbered some 400 men, found itself at the extreme right of Line Jackson, which stretched roughly a mile, west to east, from the river to a cypress swamp. Along the river bank, they took up a key position that spanned about 150 yards of the line. With the river just spitting distance to their right, they could count on no support from that flank. Within this bottleneck, they were concerned that there would inevitably be gaps in the American fields of fire, allowing the British a chance to infiltrate Line Jackson, overwhelm the 7th Infantry and destroy the whole U.S. force.[29]

January 8, 1815: The Battle of New Orleans

Andrew Jacksons (2nd cousin 8 times removed) ragtag army was made up of 4,000 Choctah Indians, French Pirates, and black freedmen, was only half the size of the British force. Through defensive use of earthworks and artillery Jackson got the advantage he needed. On January 8, 1815 two large columns of 10,000 British Infantry marched straight at the American lines. They expected an easy victory. They came across a field that was a killing zone, commanded by a man in Andrew Jackson who was really a cold hard killer, who’s determination to win was fueled by a deep personal hatred that went back more than 30 years. In that one battle the British suffered more than two thousand casualties, the Americans only had 71. It ends the war with an unprecedented victory. Jackson saves New Orleans, he saves the river, he saves the state, he saves the western republic, he saves everything, including American honor. The victory propelled Jackson to the presidency in 1829 and his victory was celebrated nationally until the Civil War when sympathy for this southern victory changed dramatically. [30]

U.S.S. Constitution, Charleston MA

Early in 1815 the “eagle of the seas” logged one last major battle. Although the peace treaty with Britain had been signed nearly two months earlier, the news had not yet reached the coast of Morocco. Outnumbered and outgunned, Capt. Charles Stewart defeated the British sloops Cyane and Levant and added another victory to Constitution’s logbook.[34]

1815-In 1815, Col. Isaac Meason and his sons Isaac and Thomas erected Dunbar Furnace on Dunbar Creek, near the line between Dunbar and Wharton. It was afterwards known as Centre Furnace. The furnace was in blast until 1830 and under the control of Col. Measons sons at the last. In 1830 it was given up. One may yet see the ruins of the old building there. (Circa 1882).[36]

**Gary Goodlove Allele is diminished by 1. The Cohen Modal Haplotype is (12). This is I believe a mutation and is not unusual in that after many generations it is expected to mutate by one.

The Cohen Modal Haplotype belongs to haplogroup J.

The 12 marker Cohen Modal Haplotype (CMH-12) is based upon studies by a private company. It has not been peer group reviewed by other scientists or published in the open technical literature. It is the 6 marker Cohen Modal Haplotype (CMH-6) that is the basis for current technical publications. (Gary Goodlove matches all 6 of these.)

Ray Godlove sent his test in however the results are forthcoming, so as of January 8, 2007 we do not know whether we are related to the Godlove’s as suspected.

(Ray Godlove’s were not an exact match, but indicated a common ancestor at an earlier time. Both have the Cohen Modal Haplotype)
