This Day…



April 9, 1223.



(Werneck) the papal confirmation of the donation of the Bodo of Ravensburg of 1223 April 9. (Translation)[2] Francis Godlove aka Franciscus Gotlop indicated he was from Werneck, Bavaria, Germany, before he came to America as a Hessian Soldier to fight against the Americans in the Revolution as a mercenary soldier for the British. There was a Jewish community in Werneck although Francis indicated that he was a Catholic, the only Catholic in his regiment.





April 9, 1737

During 1737 those Delawares still in Pennsylvania were learning a bitter lesson about just how dishonorable the whites could be in their treaty making. The treat William Penn had made with them half a century earlier had a claus in it that had never been acted upon. Now, 19 years after his death, the Proprietary of Pennsylvania took advantage of it in a way that would never have occurred to Penn himself The treaty signed by the Delawares stated that the Proprietary of Pennsylvania was given title to lands west and north o the Delaware at Philadelphia “as far as a man can go in a day and a hall.” In that remark the Delawares had meant this to be nothing more than a good brisk walk of perhaps 30 miles. The distance had never actually been measured out, and now with good land availability diminishing in the Philadelphia area, the proprietors elected to interpret the nebulous remark in their own way. With considerable care, beginning at the farthest inward bend o the Delaware River within Philadelphia, they cleared a very straight path angling only slightly north of due west. Then they carefully selected a man noted or his athletic abilities and stamina, and one minute after midnight on the appointed day, April 9, 1737, they set him running as fast and as steadily as he could on that path. At the end of 36 hours he collapsed, having accomplished the feat of running a full 150 miles. This was the spot from which the Proprietary o Pennsylvania established the western boundary. The Pennsylvanians laughingly referred to there after as the “Walking Treat. ” The Indians were justifiably angry, but they had made a bargain and reluctantly adhered to it. Whatever Delaware and Shawnee villages remained within the new limits o Pennsylvania were abandoned, and their native inhabitants moved to the valleys of the Wyoming and Shamokin or farther west, many all the way to the Muskingum in the Ohio.[1]



1737: It is perhaps ironic that Penn’s former companion, Ebenezer Zane, died that very year, and Zan’s son, William Andrew, at 25, happily married and still living in Moorefield on the South Branch of the Potomac, sired a son. IN honor of his own newly deceased father, William named the infant Ebenezer. It was this Ebenezer Zane, and his brothers and sister yet to be born, who would, in time to come, make a lasting mark on the upper Ohio River Valley.[2]

The elder Ebenezer Zane had another son, Isaac, who was born the year before William Andrew. Isaac, however, was captured near their South Branch Potomac cabin in Moorefield, Va., by a band of Wyandots when he was only nine years old. He was carried deep into the Ohio country to Tarhe’s Town, on the headwaters of the Mad River, at the site of present Zanesfield, Ohio. There he was adopted into the tribe, adapted well to Indian life and subsequently married the daughter of Chie Tarhe, The Crane. Eventually Isaac Zane became a chief in his own right, and though he never returned to live among the whites, he did return on one occasion to Wheeling and visited his grown up nephew, Ebenezer.[3]

The Committee of Treasury reported,

That there is due to Christopher Ludwig, for maintaining Hessian prisoners, and for cash he paid to several Hessian deserters who brought in their arms, the sum of [£46 9 6/90=] 123 84/90 dollars.2 [5]





April 9, 1782

“Sir:— I received this afternoon a letter of the Reverend Nathaniel [Seidel], bishop of the united churches of the brethren, residing at Bethlehem [Pa.], dated the 5th instant. He informs me that the same day a melancholy report [see the foregoing ‘Relation’] was brought to him by one Mr. Leinbach, relative to a murder committed by white men upon a number of Christian Indians at a place called Muskingum [upon the branch now known as the Tuscarawas]. He continues in his letter that the same Mr. Leinbach is to proceed the next day to Philadelphia, in order to give congress information how he came to the knowledge of that event, so that congress, unless it had already a better account of the affair than he can give, might, upon his report, take some measures with respect as well of the mischief already done as more which might be done, and thus prevent the total extirpation of a congregation of Indians converted to the faith of Jesus Christ, and the judgments of Almighty God against our dear country, which stands much in need of His divine protection. The bishop desires me to give attention to Mr. Leinbach’s report (I have done it), and to direct him where he should make his addresses. I make bold, sir, to address him to you, and to beg the favor that you introduce him, if possible, this night, with the delegates of the state of Virginia, from whence, it is said, the mischief originated, and tomorrow morning with congress.

“Your humanity, sir, gives me confidence to use the freedom to trouble you this day the day set apart for the service of men to their God — about a cause which is most properly His own. The tragic scenes of erecting two butcher-houses or sheds and killing in cold blood ninety-five brown or tawny sheep of Jesus Christ1 one by one, is certainly taken notice of by the Shepherd, their Creator and Redeemer. I am, with particular respect, sir, your most obedient, humble servant, L. WEiss [Moravian Att’y].



“SUNDAY, April 9, 1782. To CHARLES THOMSON, Esquire, secretary of congress. By [favor of) Mr. FREDERICK LEINBACH.”



“Sir:— The enclosed intelligence [Leinbach’s ‘Relation,’ previously given was communicated to congress on Monday last. For your further information respecting the channel of intelligence, I beg leave to send you a letter I received on Sunday from Mr. L. Weiss. It is the desire of congress that your excellency and the honorable council would be pleased to cause inquiry to be made into this matter. - . . CHAS. THOMSON [Sec’y of Congress].

April 9, 1782. His excellency, William Moore, Esp., president of the state of Pennsylvania.[6]

Before day heavy battle at pleasant hill[11]

Gen Smith[12] com marched 50 miles without sleep



Iowa 24th Infantry returned to Morehead City, where it remained until April 9, 1865.[13]



April 9, 1865: The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by General Robert E. Lee, surrenders to Union forces, commanded by General Ulysses S. Grant, at Appomattox Court House, Virginia.[14]



April 9, 1866: Congress passes a Civil Rights Act over President Johnson’s veto, granting citizenship to all people born in the United States, except Indians.[15]



April 9, 1917: American naval forces reached Britain on April 9, 1917, just three days after the declaration of war. By contrast, General John J. Pershing, the man appointed to command the U.S. Army in Europe, did not arrive until June 14; roughly a week later, the first 14,000 U.S. infantry troops landed in France to begin training for combat. Though the U.S. Army's contributions began slowly, they would eventually mark a major turning point in the war effort and help the Allies to victory.[16]



April 9, 1924: The Dawees Plan is formulated to reorganize German war debt and help stabilize its economy.[17][18]



April 9, 1934



• Evelyne Gottlieb, born April 9, 1934 in Berlin, resided before WWII in Berlin. Deportation: to Westerbork. Friday, August 7, 1942, Auschwitz. Place of death; Auschwitz, declared legally dead.[17]



I recovered this letter which was written by a Hebrew Catholic Nun. I did not know there was such an organization. This “Novena” was on the same train to Westerbork August 7, 1942, to Auschwitz as eight year old Evelyne Gottlieb.







This is Novenas’ letter.







Novena to Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) Day 7- Friday, August 7th, 1942



Departure from Westerbork to Auschwitz



The transport had been due to leave on Thursday, August 6th but the departure was postponed for one reason or another. On Thursday afternoon, a woman arrived at the camp carrying civilian clothes for the Sisters. It was supposed, therefore that they would be obliged to change on their arrival at the frontier, though it does not appear that a change of habit actually took place.



During Thursday afternoon, the Jewish Council drew up lists of those persons due to be transported on the next convoy for Auschwitz, the lists being read out to them Thursday night, so that the people concerned could make what preparation they thought necessary. The Gestapo had given the Council stern instructions to make no exemptions from their particulartransport. As a matter of fact, the Bromberg family and Sister Judith were left behind on some technical ground. The family was fortunate enough to survive the persecution, but Sister Judith was to die at Auschwitz later, in 1944.



On Friday morning August 7th, at half-past three, a long row of prisoners, men, women and children, lined the road running through the camp. It included our Saint Edith, Rosa, and a thousand other Hebrew Catholics. The entire barracks had been cleared. S.S. men now took over from the Durch gendarmes and gruffly ordered the line to start moving. They croweded them into goods trains, filled to suffocation. Saint Edith and the other Sisters, still dressed in their habits, were in the middle section of the train. The other prisoners were in prison uniform, though the fact is disputed. It is touching to learn that the train passed through Breslau, only 50 to 60 kilometers from Auschwitz on its way to the Polish frontier. Breslau, was our Saints birthplace, though the wagons were so well sealed that she might well have been unconscious of the fact. At Scifferstadt, however, a door might have been opened for a few moments, during which time, our Edith managed to recongnize an ex pupil standing on the platform and to convey to her greetings for her Sisters. “Tell them” she said “I am on my way to the East.” Perhaps she was unaware that she was on her way to Auschwitz.



Many died en route, though permission was not granted to remove the corpses. The thirst, hunger and suffering , both mental and physical, of the passengers in those “death trains” can be imagined.

(Civil War Handbook by William H. Price.)



[10] Emory’s division was deployed to the front while A. J. Smith’s fresh troops formed a second line and reserve. The troops of Landram and Cameron, who had taken such a beating, were sent to the rear to guard the wagons and would take no part in the upcoming fight.

Taylor wanted desperately to complete the destruction of the Federal army. He put his tired troops on the road in pursuit and by 1:00 PM on April 9 had reached the vicinity of Pleasant Hill. The Southern forces were allowed to rest for about two hours while Taylor devised a plan of attack. Taylor deployed Churchill’s two divisions, unengaged the previous day but still very tired from two day’s hard marching, on his right flank with orders to assault the Federal right and place themselves in a position to cut off Banks’ expected retreat route.

Unfortunately for Taylor, Churchill’s line of assault did not go deep enough against the Federal flank, leaving his own flank exposed to a counterattack by the Union Reserve. The Confederate assault was repulsed with heavy loss. http://www.civilwarhome.com/redrivercampaign.htm



[11] Here was fought the battle of Pleasant Hill, April 9, in which Taylor’s attack was repulsed with heavy loss. Walker (C.S.A.) was wounded.

Kirby Smith reached the battlefield and found Taylor’s army so demoralized that he ordered a retreat to Mansfield. The following morning, however, he found that Banks had withdrawn. He decided, therefore, to leave Taylor with Polignac’s division and the cavalry (total 5,200) to harass Banks withdrawal, and to return to Shreveport with Walker and Churchill and operate against Frederick Steele.
