I Get Email!



In a message dated 2/4/2011 10:27:00 A.M. Central Standard Time,

Thanks! I hope you are staying warm J I’ve seen some amazing pictures from the Blizzard of 2011. Hopefully none of the cars I saw were yours! Jane

Jane, Now its in the 50's but its supposed to get cold again. The night of the storm the trains could not get out of Union Station so I got home at 9 pm when they finally got going. The next day after I got my door open because of the drifts I walked to the train station at 4 am. The station was blocked because of plowed snow and drifts. The first train out at 6:45 am had six people at the station. The only people who could get through were people who walked or two that had Toyota Tundra's. I'm buying one. Jeff





This Day…



February 18, 1229: During The Sixth Crusade, Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor signed a ten-year truce with al-Kamil, regaining Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem with neither military engagements nor support from the papacy. Prior to the Sixth Crusade, Pope Gregory III had used the Crusading Spirit to impose anti-Semitic legislation. Frederick II was involved in a power struggle with the Papacy. As part of that he struggle, he defied Rome and granted a charter of priviliges to the Jews of Vienna in 1238.[1]



1229: Richard the Lion Hearted takes the city of Jerusalem in 1229.



February 18, 1564: Martin Luther passed away. Luther was a significant figure in the movement to reform Christianity. He extended the hand of friendship to the Jews, thinking that he could win them over to his side with kindness. When the Jews rejected his goal - conversion - Luther turned on them. By 1544, he was publishing a pamphlet entitled "Concerning the Jews and Their Lies." Jews were characterized as “venomous, virulent, thieves, brigands and disgusting vermin." According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, "'...Luther's ferocious castigation of the Jews provided fuel for anti-Semites and vicious force of that legacy was still evident in Nazi propaganda.'"[2]

February 18, 1574: An auto-de-fe took place in Mexico City; nearly 100 people were sentenced that day, including New Christians.[3]

February 18, 1577: The Jews of Safed requested assistance from the Sultan for persecution by local officials. In a letter to the local Ottoman officials, the Sultan told his people that the Jews, "have complained of wrong done to them." The Jews were forced to pay high taxes, transport dung on Saturdays, were levies tolls on the road to Damascus, and were beaten with a strip of metal. The Sultan ordered his people not to molest the Jews, to investigate and give back what the Jews are owed.[4]

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.[5]

February 18, 1723: In Prussia a revised form of the "Aeltesten-reglement" (Constitution of the Jewish Community) was issued. The original document which was supposed to be read every in the synagogue was issued in March of 1722.[6]



1723

Anderson's "Constitutions" published.[7]



February 18, 1769:

March 31, 1768:Went into the Neck. At my return found Doctr. Rumney and Mr. Wm. Crawford at the House. Dr. Rumney went away in the Afternoon.

On the following day Rumney charged twelve “Nervous Powders” and ingredients for a medicinal brew to Patsy Custis’s account (reciept from William Rumney, February 18, 1769. [8]





Emanuel Jones[9] to George Washington, February 18, 1774



BRASSERTON, 18th Feby. 1774.



DEAR SIR,



Your favour of the 25th Jany I receiv’d last night, & am sorry to tell You that my Voice was long since engaged to Mr. Madison (our Professor of Mathematics) for his Brother: had my good friend Col: Washington made the least mention to me of Capn: Crawford, he might have been assur’d, I would gladly have oblig’d him. The Revd: Mr. Thruston the 1St Instant wrote to me recommending Capn: Wm. Rutherford (who deliver’d the letter) and Capn: Crawford; I told Capn: Rutherford, that I should take great pleasure in serving them both, but was afraid I could not, as I had heard Capn. Bullett’s ill conduct had occasion’d an order of Council not to appoint any more Extra-Surveyors how true this report may be, I cannot with certainty affirm.



The best method that I can point out for Capn: Crawford is to get a Deputation from the Surveyor of the County in whose Precinct the Part he desires is contain’d; if he can do that, I hope he will succeed, especially if he is expeditious in his Application. Our City has long expected the Arrival of Lady Dunmore: Bon-fires, Illuminations &c. have been order’d these ten Days, but none yet lighted. My best respects attend Mrs. Washington, who I should be very glad in having the pleasure once more to see,



Jam Dr Sir, Yr most obedt: I’thle Servt. EMMANUEL JONES.[10]



February 18, 1776: From Norfolk, Virginia, Royal Governor John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, dispatches a note to William Legge, 2nd Earl of Dartmouth, expressing his "inexpressible mortification" that British Major General Sir Henry Clinton had been ordered to the "insignificant province of North Carolina to the neglect of this the richest and powerfully important province in America." Dunmore was facing expulsion from Virginia at the hands of the Patriots and was deeply insulted that the army chose to defend its claims to the less significant colony of North Carolina instead of the economically and politically vital colony of Virginia.

Having departed New York on February 12, General Clinton met with Governor Dunmore in Hampton Roads, Virginia, on February 17 while en route to Cape Fear, North Carolina; he was forced to remain in Hampton Roads until February 27 due to stormy weather. Clinton finally reached North Carolina on March 12, by which time the North Carolina Loyalists had been routed at Moore's Creek Bridge on February 27. The royal governors of North and South Carolina met Clinton to give him the bad news, but Commodore Peter Parker and Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis had not yet arrived from Cork, Ireland, to support Clinton in his efforts to suppress the American rebellion. After waiting until May 31, 1776, for the last of the contingency to arrive from Cork, Clinton contemplated moving the British forces to the Chesapeake Bay, since North Carolina had already fallen to the Patriots, but Parker convinced him to head instead for Charleston, South Carolina.

Abandoned again, Dunmore returned to England after the publication of the Declaration of Independence in July 1776. The county named in his honor in 1772 was renamed Shenandoah County in 1778. His hunting lodge, Porto Bello, where he first fled the Patriot uprising, remains on the National Register of Historic Places for York County, Virginia.[11]

Susans Simmons Winans[15] was born February 18, 1812. When she was six months old, and with her parents at Ft. Dearborn[16] at the massacre there; August 15, 1812. Her father was killed, and her mother and she were taken prisoners by the Indians, and held six months or more; a little brother 3 years old was also killed. In the following Spring, mother, with Susan made her way to friends in Miami Co., Ohio. Susan was the mother of Ester Winans, William Harrison Goodlove’s first wife.



The massacre followed the evacuation of the fort as ordered by the U.S. General William Hull. This event is also sometimes known as the Battle of Fort Dearborn. Fort Dearborn’s commander Captain Nathan Heald ordered all whiskey and gunpowder to be destroyed so it would no be seized by the local Indian tribes allied with the British, although he had agree to these terms a few hours earlier. He then prepared to abandon his post. Heald remained at Fort Dearborn until support arrived from Fort Wayne, Indiana, led by his wife’s uncle, Captain Wells. A column of 148 soldiers, women children then left Fort Dearborn intending to march to Fort Wayne. However, about one and a half miles (2 km) south of Fort Dearborn, at about what is now 18th Street and Prairie Avenue, a band of Potawatomi warriors ambushed the garrison, killing more than fifty and capturing the remainder as prisoners to sell to the British as slaves. The British purchased the captives and released them immediately afterwards.

Fort Dearborn was burned to the ground, and the region remained empty of U.S. citizens until after the war had ended.

Survivors' accounts differed on the role of the Miami warriors. Some said they fought for the Americans, while others said they did not fight at all. Regardless, William Henry Harrison claimed the Miami fought against the Americans, and used the Fort Dearborn massacre as a pretext to attack the Miami villages. Miami chief Pacanne and his nephew, Jean Baptiste Richardville, accordingly ended their neutrality in the War of 1812 and allied with the British. [17]

February 18, 1856: The American Party, also known as the "Known-Nothing Party," convenes in Philadelphia to nominate its first presidential candidate.

The Know-Nothing movement began in the 1840s, when an increasing rate of immigration led to the formation of a number of so-called nativist societies to combat "foreign" influences in American society. Roman Catholic immigrants from Ireland and Italy, who were embraced by the Democratic Party in eastern cities, were especially targeted. In the early 1850s, several secret nativist societies were formed, of which the "Order of the Star-Spangled Banner" and the "Order of United Americans" were the most significant. When members of these organizations were questioned by the press about their political platform, they would often reply they knew nothing, hence the popular name for the Know-Nothing movement.

In 1854, the Know-Nothings allied themselves with a faction of Whigs and ran for office in several states, calling for legislation to prevent immigrants from holding public office. By 1855, support for the Know-Nothings had expanded considerably, and the American Party was officially formed. In the same year, however, Southerners in the party sought to adopt a resolution calling for the protection of slavery, and some anti-slavery Know-Nothings defected to the newly formed Republican Party.

On February 18, 1856, the American Party met to nominate it first presidential candidate and to formally abolish the secret character of the organization. Former president Millard Fillmore of New York was chosen, with Andrew Donelson of Tennessee to serve as his running mate. In the subsequent election, Fillmore succeeded in capturing only the state of Maryland, and the Know-Nothing movement effectively ceased to exist.[23]

1856

Theopolis McKinnon voted for Fremont for President.[24]

1856: Abraham Baer Gottlober published “Anaf ‘Ez Abot,” three poems, on the death of Emperor Nicholas I., on the peace of 1856, and on the coronation of Alexander II., respectively (1858).[25]



February 1861

Abraham Lincoln Inaugurated as the sixteenth President of the United States.[26] Perhaps a McKinnon had a hand in helping Abe along the way.

Our Theopolis McKinnon said in 1880 said, “I claim to be the first man who named “Honest Old Abe” for President.”[27] This claim has some merit, but needs more research. Theopolis, was also from Kentucky, and the following story adds an interesting connection.

Abraham Lincoln, while a teenager borrowed a book from a neighbor, as he did often from anyone in the area who had a book, as there was no library in the area. When not reading it, he laid it away in a part of the cabin where he thought it would be free from harm, but it so happened that just behind the shelf on which he placed it was a great crack between the logs of the wall. One night a storm came up suddenly the rain beat in through the crevice, and soaked the borrowed book through. The book was almost utterly spoiled. Abe felt very uneasy, for a book was valuable in his eyes, as well as in the eyes of its owner.

He took the damaged volume and trudged over to the neighbors in some perplexity and mortification.

“Well, Abe, what brings you over so early? said the neighbor. “I’ve got some bad news for you,” answered Abe, with lengthened face. “Bad news! What is it?”

You know the book you lent me, the “Life of Washington?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Well, the rain last night spoiled it,” and Abe showed the book, wet to a pulp inside, at the same time explaining how it had been injured.

“It’s too bad, I vum! You’d ought to pay for it, Abe. You must have been dreadful careless!”

“I’d pay for if I had any money. ”

“I’ll do whatever you think right.”

So it was arranged that Abe should work three days for Neighbor, “pulling fodder,” the value of his labor being rated at twenty five cents a day. As the book had cost seventy five cents this would be regarded as satisfactory. So Abe worked his three days and discharged his debt.[28]

The neighbor Abe borrowed the book from was from old Josiah Crawford.[29].

Theopolis’ claim of being the originator of the saying “Honest Abe” for president is interesting because of the McKinnon/Crawford/Washington connection. It is possible that Theopolis did come up with that saying, as William Crawford and George Washington were lifelong friends. It is not surprising that an ancestor would have the book “Life of Washington.” I think I would like to find that book. I have not made the connection from Josiah Crawford to our Crawford at this point, but in time I would not be surprised if I do.



February 18, 1861: On this day in 1861, Jefferson Davis, a veteran of the Black Hawk and Mexican-American Wars, begins his term as provisional president of the Confederate States of America. As it turned out, Davis was both the first and last president of the ill-fated Confederacy, as both his term and the Confederacy ended with the Union's 1865 victory in the Civil War.

Born in Kentucky and raised in Mississippi, Davis graduated from West Point in 1828. In 1824, at the age of 26, he married his first wife, Sarah, the 16-year-old daughter of then-Colonel Zachary Taylor, against Taylor's wishes. The marriage ended after only three months when Sarah died of malaria. Davis remarried at age 37 in 1845, this time to a prominent 17-year-old Southern socialite and budding author named Varnia Howell.

Upon his election to the House of Representatives in 1844, Davis immediately put his pro-slavery vote into action, opposing the Compromise of 1850 and other policies that would have limited the expansion of slavery into new American territories. He interrupted his political service in 1851 to fight in the Mexican-American War, during which his bravery and success prompted then-General Taylor to declare My daughter, sir, was a better judge of men than I was.

Following the war, Davis accepted an appointment to fill a suddenly vacant Mississippi seat in the U.S. Senate, but resigned after only a year to launch an unsuccessful bid for the governorship of Mississippi. Davis then campaigned for Franklin Pierce's presidential campaign; upon winning, Pierce rewarded him with the post of secretary of war in 1853. In this capacity, Davis proved instrumental in advocating for the development of a transcontinental railroad. When Pierce lost his presidential reelection bid, Davis ran for a Senate seat and won.

Although a staunch supporter of slavery, Davis vigorously opposed the secessionist movement until 1860 when Abraham Lincoln came to power. Davis' attempts to solidify states' rights failed repeatedly and, disillusioned, he decided to resign from the Senate. On January 10, 1861, Davis led Mississippi in following South Carolina's example and seceding from the Union. The following month, he was sworn in as provisional president of the Confederate States of America. (Davis was referred to as the provisional president because he had been appointed by the Confederate Congress rather than elected by the populace.) He moved his family to the southern White House in Richmond, Virginia, and prepared for a six-year presidential term.

Davis' refusal to appoint a general commander of southern forces and his attempt to manage the Southern army and government at the same time is thought to have contributed to the South's defeat. After the fall of Atlanta in 1865, he was captured in Georgia, clapped in irons and indicted for treason. After two years, he was finally released on bail; charges against him were not dropped until 1869. While in prison he staved off financial ruin by selling his Mississippi estate to a former slave. A rebel to the end, Davis refused to swear an oath of allegiance that would have reinstated his U.S. citizenship even after his release from prison. The time spent incarcerated impacted his health, and on December 6, 1889, Davis died in New Orleans.[30]

February 18, 1862: At the age of 15 years[31], Dr. William McKinnon Goodlove (1st cousin, 3 times removed) enlisted as a soldier in the 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and served to the close of the war in the 15th Army Corps, under Gen. John A. Logan, “Sherman’s Army,” and was discharged at Little Rock, Arkansas. [32]

57th Regiment Infantry. Orgainzed at Camp Vance, Findlay, Ohio, September 16th, 1861. Moved to Camp Chase, Ohio, January 22, 1862. Ordered to Paducah, Ky., February 18, 1861.

Went in camp in a cotton press

Quite cold – wind – little snow

Came on boat Empress[33] – went to theater 2 miles very cold night

Didn’t sleep much saw Jackson square[34][35]



February 1865: That winter Gen. Early dispersed the men of the 18th Cav to their home counties and in January-February 1865 the 18th did not act as a unified force. It was called together again when Sheridan moved up the Valley, but was unable to assemble before Early’s defeat at Waynesboro (March 2, 1865). The 18th performed scouting and picket duty in the central Valley in March. After Lee’s surrender in April, members of the 18th, individually and in small groups, surrendered at Winchester and Moorefield and received their paroles.[36]

February 1865: In February 1865 a new exchange program was finally approved. Men at the Salisbury Prison were divided into two groups in order to be liberated. The largest group consisted of 3729 of the more able-bodied prisoners who were marched to Greensboro, North Carolina and then taken by train to Wilmington, North Carolina to be received by Confederate Major Robert F. Hoke. The second group, containing 1420 of the sickest prisoners was sent to Richmond. The Prison then became a supply depot, but it had no prisoners when on April 12, 1865 (3 days after Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox) Union General George Stoneman arrived in Salisbury to free the Federals. The Prison was burned, the only one recorded as having been destroyed in this manner. A confederate Government flag that once flew over the gates is now housed at the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh. [38]

February 18, 1909: On this date in 1909, U.S. President William Howard Taft received his 1st degree in Kilwinning Lodge #356, Cincinnati, Ohio.[40]



February 18, 1943: Hans Scholl and his sister Sophie, the leaders of the German youth group Weisse Rose (White Rose), are arrested by the Gestapo for opposing the Nazi regime.

The White Rose was composed of university (mostly medical) students who spoke out against Adolf Hitler and his regime. The founder, Hans Scholl, was a former member of Hitler Youth who grew disenchanted with Nazi ideology once its real aims became evident. As a student at the University of Munich in 1940-41, he met two Roman Catholic men of letters who redirected his life. Turning from medicine to religion, philosophy, and the arts, Scholl gathered around him like-minded friends who also despised the Nazis, and the White Rose was born.

During the summer of 1942, Scholl and a friend composed four leaflets, which exposed and denounced Nazi and SS atrocities, including the extermination of Jews and Polish nobility, and called for resistance to the regime. The literature was peppered with quotations from great writers and thinkers, from Aristotle to Goethe, and called for the rebirth of the German university. It was aimed at an educated elite within Germany.

The risks involved in such an enterprise were enormous. The lives of average civilians were monitored for any deviation from absolute loyalty to the state. Even a casual remark critical of Hitler or the Nazis could result in arrest by the Gestapo, the regime's secret police. Yet the students of the White Rose (the origin of the group's name is uncertain; possibly, it came from the picture of the flower on their leaflets) risked all, motivated purely by idealism, the highest moral and ethical principles, and sympathy for their Jewish neighbors and friends. (Despite the risks, Hans' sister, Sophie, a biology student at her brother's university, begged to participate in the activities of the White Rose when she discovered her brother's covert operation.)

On February 18, 1943, Hans and Sophie left a suitcase filled with copies of yet another leaflet in the main university building. The leaflet stated, in part: "The day of reckoning has come, the reckoning of our German youth with the most abominable tyranny our people has ever endured. In the name of the entire German people we demand of Adolf Hitler's state the return of personal freedom, the most precious treasure of the Germans which he cunningly has cheated us out of." The pair were spotted by a janitor and reported to the Gestapo and arrested. Turned over to Hitler's "People's Court," basically a kangaroo court for dispatching dissidents quickly, the Scholls, along with another White Rose member who was caught, were sentenced to death. They were beheaded--a punishment reserved for "political traitors"--on February 23, but not before Hans Scholl proclaimed "Long live freedom!"[41]

Jeff:



For the record, Chalkley had the case wrong. It wasn’t Crockett v. Cloyd.



The case was Conrad v. Linedecker, and it is filed in Augusta County Chancery Causes, folder 1805-006, Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Staunton, Virginia.



It contains one of two autograph signatures I have found for Francis. He signed his name “Francis Gottlob”

[22] In 1893, George Pullman had a sculpture he had commissioned from Carl Rohl-Smith erected near his house. It portrayed the rescue of Margaret Helm, the stepdaughter of Chicago resident John Kinzie[3] and wife of Lt. Linai Thomas Helm, [4] by Potawatomi chief Black Partridge, who led her and some others to Lake Michigan and helped her escape by boat. [5] The monument was moved to the lobby of the Chicago Historical Society in 1931. In the 1970s, however, American Indian groups protested the display of the monument, and it was removed. In the 1990s, the statue was reinstalled near 18th Street and Prairie Avenue, close to its original site. It was later removed for conservation reasons by the Office of Public Art of the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs.[6] There are some efforts to reinstall the monument, but it is meeting resistance from the Chicago American Indian Center.[5]
