A point of clarification. If anybody wants to get to the Torah site, they do not have to go thru Temple Judah. They can use http://DownhomeDavarTorah.blogspot.com and that will take them right to it.

This Day…
On March 19,1503-4, (temp. James IV.) MacKinnon is mentioned among other Chiefs in the Acts of Parliament, to be written to, to act against Lachlan MacLean of Dowart and Ewin Allanson of Lochiel forfeited for treason. The Earl of Huntly undertakes to forward MacKinnon's letters.[1]
March 19, 1776: The Continental Congress authorizes raids on British shipping.[2]
March 19, 1779
The missionaries had not gone back east, of course, but by moving among their many Delaware friends in Goschachgunk—not the least of whom was Killbuck, long a friend of the Americans—they had at least spared their flock being further jeopardized by Chief Brant or other hostile Indians. Here Heckewelder had continued his spying operations, often hiding his messages under the saddle blankets of horses being ridden to the destination he wished, sometimes carried with the knowledge of the rider but frequently without. Two of the principals to whom Heckewelder sent his very secret letter reports were Col. Brodhead, now commanding at Fort McIntosh, and Col. Gibson at Fort Laurens, both of whom had sworn not to divulge the identity of their spy at Goschachgunk. He also wrote letters for them to forward to Gen. Washington, Col. Crawford and others.
Obviously, it was extremely advantageous to the Americans to have such a spy, since he could observe and report so much of what was going on among the enemy. But it was a very dangerous game for John Heckewelder to play.
………….. This is what I am told is the Acts of the Assembly, but I have not seen them as yet. All disputes about improvements are to be settled by auditors for that purpose, appointed by the Assembly, who are to attend on the premises,
Your Round Bottom tract, I suppose, will be settled that way, as a patent has not yet been obtained for it, as I understand, Should I be here at the time it is settled, I will attend, If I do not, you may chance to lose it, as I am better acquainted with the circumstances than any other person, Young Tomhinson, who first improved the land, was with me when I surveyed it, and carried the chain round it, and gave up any title he had to you, upon my informing him that you claimed that hand. There was no improvement on the land when I surveyed it for you but Tomhjnso11’5 as I saw. Your houses down the river are all burnt by the Indians, Kentucky and the Falls are settling very rapidly.
Your present situation will not admit of your obtaining any of those lands without some assistance, Young Harrison is going down immediately, I intend getting him to take a good tract of two or three thousand acres, if it is to be had, for which I will fall on some way of securing it for you and acquaint you by the first opportunity. I mention this, as you may want some near the Falls or some place of convenience, as all these places will in a short time be taken, if not already, I believe I shall go there myself as soon as I can be at liberty from the service of my country. I intend to go to Headquarters as soon as I conveniently can. I wish you success, and remain your most humble and obedient servant,[3]
George Washington To JOHN HARVIE
Mount Vernon, March 19, 1785.
Sir: If I recollect right, I mentioned when I had the pleasure of seeing you at Mr. Jones’s[4] the first of last October, that I was reduced to the necessity of bringing ejectments against sundry persons who had taken possession of a tract of Land which I hold, not far from Fort Pitt in the State of Pennsylvania, by Patent under this Governmt. for 2813 acres.
I have lately received a letter from my Lawyer, Mr. Thos. Smith, of Carlisle requesting information on several points; the following are his own words,
I am entirely unacquainted with the manner in which titles to Lands are acquired by improvement or occupancy, by the Laws and customs of Virginia. I suppose it must be under certain conditions and restrictions. I should be glad to have the Laws, if any, pointed out. Does the occupier orfeit his right of pre-emption, if he does not apply for an office right in a given time? If so, when? By what Laws? Or is it by the regulations established in the Land Office? A certified copy of such regulations if any, may be necessary.
At the interview I had with that Gentleman in September, he told me it would be necessary to obtain a certified copy of the Surveyors return to the Land office, and of the date of the Warrt. upon which it was made. The latter I presume is in the hands of the Surveyor, but the date no doubt, is recited in the return. Having (in the life time of Col. Crawford, and by letter from him) received information that at the convention next before the 20th. of Septr. 1776, (the date of his letter) an ordinance passed for the purpose of saving equitable claims to the Western Lands, Mr. Smith requested some precise information respecting this Ordinance, that is, how far it will apply in my case.
After the many obliging acts of kindness I have received from you, and the generous terms upon which they have been rendered, I am really ashamed to give you more trouble; but as the dispute in which I am engaged is of importance, and a very ungenerous advantage has been taken of a situation in which I could not attend to my private concerns, or seek justice in due season, and as I believe no person can solve the queries of Mr. Smith, and give such accurate information on such points as can be made to subserve my cause as you, I am, however reluctantly, compelled to this application.
Mr. Smith’s own words, which I have quoted, and his verbal application to me, wch. I have just now recited, will sufficiently apprize you of what has occurred to him; but I will go further, and take the liberty my good Sir, of giving you a state of the whole matter; from whence you will discover the points on which my opponents mean to hinge the success of their cause.
Col. Crawford, a liver on Yohioghaney, an old and intimate acquaintance of mine, undertook to procure for me a tract of land in that Country; and accordingly made choice of the one, now in dispute, on the waters of Racoon and Millers runs, branches of Shurtees Creek, surveyed the same, amounting to 2813 acres, and purchased in my behalf the claim of some person to a part of the land, who pretended to have a right thereto. After this he built, or intended to build according to his own accot., and to the best of my recollection, (for the papers being in the hands of my Lawyer, I have memory only, and that a bad one, to resort to) three or four cabbins on different parts of the tract, and placed one or more persons thereon to hold possession of it for my benefit. All this preceeded the first view the present occupiers (my opponents) ever had of the Land, as they themselves have acknowledged to me’, and which I believe can be proved. So far as it respects one cabbin there can be no doubt, because it remains to this day; and is acknowledged by them to have been on the land when they first came to it. They built another cabbin so close to the door of it, as to preclude the entrance of it: Crawford in his accot. of it to me, says, with a view to prevent occupation:
they, on the other hand, say there was no inhabitant in the house at the time. Both may be right, for the fact is, as I have been informed, the owner being from home, this transaction took place in his absence.
It may be well to observe here that Cob. Crawford was only acting the part of a friend to me; for at that time, tho’ he was a Surveyor by regular appointment from the College of Wm, and Mary, it was for the local purpose of surveying the 200,000 acres granted by Dinwiddie’s Proclamation of 1754 to the Troops of the State, who were entitled to it as a bounty: but as I proposed to cover this survey with a military warrant as soon as circumstances would permit, these steps were preliminary to obtain the Land. Accordingly, a Warrant which I obtained in consequence of a purchase from one Captain Posey (who under the British Kings proclamation of 1763 was entitled to 3000 acres) whose Bond I now have bearing date the 14th. of Octr. 1770, assigning to me all his right to land under it, was located thereon; and Cob. Crawford, after receiving a commission to act as Deputy to Mr. Thos. Lewis, made a return of this survey to his principal, who returned it to the Secretary’s office, from whence a Patent issued signed by Lord Dunmore in June or July 1774, for 2813 acres, reciting under what right I became entitled to the Land. Hence, and from the repeated warnings, which it is said can be proved were given at the time my opponents were about to take possession of the Land, and afterwards, comes my title.
The title of my opponents I know will be: 1st. That Craw-fords survey was illegal, at least, was unauthorized. 2d. That being a great land-jobber, he held, or endeavored to monopolise under one pretence or other much land: and tho’ (for they do not deny the fact to me in private discussion, altho’ considering the lapse of time, deaths, and dispersion of people, I may find some difficulty to prove it) they were told this was my land; yet conceiving my name was only made use of as a cover, and in this they say they were confirmed, having (after some of the warnings given them) searched the Land office of this State without discovering any such Grant to me. 3d. That their possession of the Land, preceded my Patent or date of the Surveyors return to the Secretary’s office; or even the date of Crawfords deputation under Lewis, before which, every transaction they will add, was invalid.
But to recapitulate, the Dispute, if my memory for want of papers does not deceive me, may be summed up in these words.
1st. In the year 1771, Crawford at my request looked of this Land for me, and made an actual survey thereof on m account.
2d. Some person (not of the opponents) setting up a clam to part included by the survey, he purchased them out, bu~1 one cabbin, if not more, and placed a man therein to kee1 possession of the Land.
3d. It was called my band, and generally believed to be so
every body, and under that persuasion was left by some, whc uninformed of my right, had begun to build, before the present occupants took possession to the exclusion as I have related before of the person placed thereon by Crawford.
4th. That sometime in Octr. 1773 according to their own accot., these occupants took possession.
5th. That upon their doing so, and at several times thereafter, they were notified of my claim and intention to assert my right.
6th. That no survey was ever made of this Land, but the first one by Crawford.
7th. That it is declared in the Surveyors return, to be consequent of a warrant granted by Lord Dunmore to Jno. Posey assigned to me. But whether this warrt. is dated before or after possession was taken by my opponents, I know not, but the Survey will shew this.
8th. That after he received his deputation (which I believe was subsequent to their occupancy) he made a return of the survey to Mr. Lewis, who returned it to the Secretary’s Office in the early part, I believe, of the year 1774, and a Patent issued without any caveat or Opposition from these people.
9th. I believe, because I never heard otherwise, that no office rights either in this State or that of Pennsylvania, were ever obtained by my opponents, resting their title upon possession.
Under this statement of the matter, in which I have conceded everything I know, or which I think can be urged against my claim, I would thank you, as the matter will be determined in another State, for such advice and information of Acts of Assembly, Acts of Convention, or rules of office which make to the point, as my long absence renders me quite an ignoramus in these matters, and as unfit for, as I am disinclined to controversies of this kind.
If pre-occupancy will take place of legal right, under the circumstances here mentioned; it remains still a question how far the possession and improvements which were made in my behalf, previous to those of my opponents, will avail me; that is, under what title I should then claim the Land, and under that title how much of it I should hold, supposing one Cabbin only to have been built and occupied, by any rule of Office, or Act of Government.
When I look back at the length of this letter, and consider how much trouble I am giving you, I must thro myself upon your goodness for an apology, whilst I assure you of the esteem and regard with which I am, etc.[5]

March 19, 1914
The following men in and around Central City have been drawn as petit jurors for April term of district court: E. L. Goodlove, Earl Henderson, Red Woodbridge and J. A. Whittaker.[9]
Spring 1914: “It is the best revival we ever had,” they said.
It was hardly enough that folks should merely come into Buck Creek Church. That meant little to the future of the church. These people needed to be organized into working units just as the young people had been organized.
It was not long before the Men’s Brotherhood and the Ladies’ Aid were vying with each other in their efforts to make over Buck Creek Church. The men graded and improved the church grounds, put in cement walks and crossings, kept the yard clean and mowed the lawns. They cut down the weeds which had adorned the place when the pastor first saw it, and kept them down. They straightened the posts and cleaned up the land around the church, and looked after all the repairs for the building.
While the men were beautifying the exterior, the women were busy within. They put in a new floor, decorated the walls and woodwork, and thoroughly cleaned the objectionable lamps. They bought a new pulpit and chairs, and laid new carpets throughout the aisles. In all, they spent about $800 in improvements for the church.
The important folks, now, were the children. The pastor turned his attention to them, giving every Sunday for ten months, a ten minute address to the children. Every month a written invitation was sent to each child in the community, and there were personal invitations given constantly. On the special days, such as Rally Day, Decoration Day, and Mother’s Day, the children were used. And on all these occasions the need of religions instruction for children was emphasized. [10]
At the end of 10 months, there was a 50 percent increase in the attendance at Sunday school, which had been completely reorganized to meet it. The school was graded and several of the senior classes were united into well planned units. There was a remarkable change in the appearance of Buck Creek Church now. It was no longer presented a neglected, sleepy appearance, but became in the real sense a church worthy of the name. Many people were attracted to services who had never attended before. Preceding Easter time, the preacher put on a series of Passion Week services, and after fourteen days, on Easter Sunday, Buck Creek Church received twenty four into church membership.
Throughout the new program of the church, evangelism was most constantly emphasized. For, after all, the chief function of the3 church is spiritual and all other activities are but means to a great end, and subordinate to the greater business of wining folks to life dominated hby the will of God.[11]
• March 1917: Trouble was brewing with Germany’s other main ally, Ottoman Turkey. Germany needed Turkey to hold the line against the British advance in the Middle East. But after 600 years, the Ottoman Empire was crumbling, and the British Empire was licking its lips. In March 1917, the British captured Bagdad. [12]
March 1918: (In March 1918 alone, 84,000 American soldiers headed across the Atlantic; another 118,000 followed them the next month.) Once it arrived on a second continent, the flu showed no signs of abating: 31,000 cases were reported in June in Great Britain. The disease was soon dubbed the Spanish flu due to the shockingly high number of deaths in Spain (some 8 million, it was reported) after the initial outbreak there in May 1918.
The flu showed no mercy for combatants on either side of the trenches. Over the summer, the first wave of the epidemic hit German forces on the Western Front, where they were waging a final, no-holds-barred offensive that would determine the outcome of the war. It had a significant effect on the already weakening morale of the troops--as German army commander Crown Prince Rupprecht wrote on August 3: poor provisions, heavy losses, and the deepening influenza have deeply depressed the spirits of men in the III Infantry Division. Meanwhile, the flu was spreading fast beyond the borders of Western Europe, due to its exceptionally high rate of virulence and the massive transport of men on land and aboard ship due to the war effort. By the end of the summer, numerous cases had been reported in Russia, North Africa and India; China, Japan, the Philippines and even New Zealand would eventually fall victim as well.[13]
• March 1921: War between Polish units and German Free Corps in Upper Silesia. Plebiscite, March 1921. German public is outraged because the drawing of voting districts by the Allies favors Poland.
• Left-wing uprisings in Saxony and Thuringia, spring 1921. Repression through the army and Free Corps. [14]
March 1931: "The Star-Spangled Banner" was regarded as the national anthem by most branches of the U.S. armed forces and other groups, but it was not until 1916, and the signing of an executive order by President Woodrow Wilson, that it was formally designated as such. In March 1931, Congress passed an act confirming Wilson's presidential order, and on March 3 President Hoover signed it into law.[15]
In March 1932, Lindbergh made headlines again, but this time because of the kidnapping of his two-year-old son. The baby was later found dead, and the man convicted of the crime, Bruno Hauptmann, was executed. To flee unwanted publicity, Lindbergh and his wife, Anne Morrow, daughter of U.S. ambassador Dwight Morrow, moved to Europe. During the mid-1930s, Lindbergh became familiar with German advances in aviation and warned his U.S. counterparts of Germany's growing air superiority. But Lindbergh also became enamored of much of the German national "revitalization" he encountered, and allowed himself to be decorated by Hitler's government, which drew tremendous criticism back home. [16]
March 1935, Britain announced it was strengthening its Royal Air Force (RAF), and Hitler, not to be outdone, revealed his Luftwaffe, which was rapidly growing into a formidable air force. [17]
March 1936: Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party seized full power in Germany, promising vengeance against the Allied nations that had forced the Treaty of Versailles on the German people. In 1935, Hitler unilaterally canceled the military clauses of the treaty and in March 1936 denounced the Locarno Pact and began remilitarizing of the Rhineland. [18]
• By March 1941, 40,000 out of 60,000 Jews have been deported from Krakow.[19]
March 1942: Beginning in March 1942. Drancy will become the principal camp for the concentration and assembly of Jews for deportation to extermination centers in the East.[20]
• March 1942: Himmler orders the construction of a camp at Birkenau (Auschwitz II). Construction begins in October 1941 and continues until March 1942.[21]
March 1943: The first transport of Jews arrives at the Chelmo extermination camp, and transports continue to arrive until March 1943.[22]
March 19, 1944: The Germans move into Hungary to ensure a continued supply of oil and a line of retreat.[23]
• March 19, 1944: Germany seized Hungary after an attempt to pull forces back from the eastern front. By the end of the month, Eichmann arrived in Budapest in person to take charge of the deportation of Hungary’s Jews. [24]
• March 1945: Anne Frank was arrested with her parents and sister. Anne, 15 years old, was sent to Bergen-Belsen where she died in March 1945.[25]
March 1977: During their March 1977 meeting, Carter tried to reassure the Israeli prime minister that any Middle East peace talks would focus on securing defensible borders for Israel and would require that the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) recognize the existence of Israel. Rabin, fearful of Arab domination of the talks, listened to Carter's proposal to facilitate further negotiations between Israel and Egypt, but ultimately rejected it. Carter later recalled that although he, his wife, Rosalynn, and the Rabins shared a pleasant dinner that evening, he was "not encouraged." [26]
