Dear Jeff,
In defiant remarks directed at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared that there is nothing the international community can do that will dissuade Iran from continuing its nuclear program. Ahmadinejad accused the IAEA of being controlled by Washington and illegally working against Iran. He stated "we will continue on our path," though he continues to claim that Iran's nuclear program is entirely peaceful. The IAEA has issued a report stating that Iran's nuclear weapons research is much more advanced than some analysts had expected, and a RAND study said they could have their first weapon ready to test in two months or less.

This Day…
June 16: 1221: Massacre of the Jews of Erfurt, Germany. At one time this was commemorated as a Fast Day on the 25th of Sivan.[1]
1222: Council of Oxford: Archbishop of Canterbury Stephen Langton forbids Jews from building new synagogues, owning slaves or mixing with Christians.[2]
June 16, 1385: Emperor Wenceslaus arrested Jews living in what was known as the Swabian League, (the league of free cities in South Germany) and confiscated their books. A hefty fine had to be paid for their return and the release of the prisoners.[3]
June 1610: After Smith's departure, relations with the Powhatan deteriorated and many settlers died from famine and disease in the winter of 1609-10. Jamestown was about to be abandoned by its inhabitants when Baron De La Warr (also known as Delaware) arrived in June 1610 with new supplies and rebuilt the settlement--the Delaware River and the colony of Delaware were later named after him. John Rolfe also arrived in Jamestown in 1610 and two years later cultivated the first tobacco there, introducing a successful source of livelihood that would have far-reaching importance for Virginia. [4]
June 16, 1612: Birthdate of Murad IV. During his reign as Sultan, Murad executed Rabbi Yehuda Kovo over a dispute revolving around the quality of cloth being supplied by the Jews of Salonika for army uniforms and the amount of taxes to be paid.[5]
June 1664

Sunday June 16, 1754
The Virginia Regiment leaves the Great Meadows to continue working on the road to Redstone Creek (present day Brownsville, PA). The South Carolina company refuses to help with the work unless paid extra wages for the manual labor, a customary practice. Washington did not have money to spare so the South Carolinians stay at the Great Meadows. [7]
To ROBERT DINWIDDIE
Fort Loudoun, June 16, 1757,
Honbie. Sir: This instant the enclosed letters came to r hands. I have not lost a moment’s time in transmitting th to you, as I look upon the intelligence to be of the utmost importance. If the enemy are coming down in such numbe and with such a train of artillery, as we are bid to expect, Fort Cumberland must inevitably fall into their hands, as no tim efforts can be made to relieve the garrison. I send you a co of a council of war held upon this occasion. The advice I tend to pursue, and until I shall receive orders how to conth myself. It is morally certain, that the next object, which French have in view, is Fort Loudoun, and that is yet in a ye untenable posture. They have no roads for carriages into a other province, but thro’ this; and there lies a quantity of stoi here, belonging to his Majesty and to this colony, very mu exposed and unguarded.
I shall not take up your time Sir, with a tedious detail. Y will be a sufficient judge of the present situation of affairs, frc those circumstances already related. I have written to the coi manding officers of Fairfax, Prince William, and Culpep
1757]
(a copy of which letters I enclose your Honor) to march part of their militia to this place immediately, that no time may be lost. I shall you may be assured, Sir, make the best defence I can, if attacked. I have Wrote to Colonel Stanwix an account of this affair, and enclosed him copies of the letters and council
of war.[8] I am, &c.
AT A COUNCIL OF WAR HELD AT FORT LOUDOUN [VIRGINIA} THURSDAY, THE 16TH. DAY OF JUNE, AT 2 O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING 1757

The Colonel laid before the council a Letter from Capt. Dagworthy,[9] and another which he received from Maj. James Livingston, both dated at Fort Cumberland the 4th. Instant; signifying that they had just received intelligence from six Cherokee indians who went out upon a Scout with Capt. Spotswood towards Fort DuQuesne; that a large Body Df French and Indians, with a train of Artillery, were actually marched from Fort DuQuesne with a design, as they conceived, to make ao attempt on Fort Cumberland.
And after laying before them the strength and dispersed Situation ~ the Troops in the pay of the Colony; desired their opinion, whether it was most advisable, with what force we cou’d raise immediately to attempt the relief of Fort Cumberland, or to remain here and endeavo~ to assemble a sufficient force to put this place in a posture of defence (which is at present not tenable) ‘till we should have further Orden how to act?
It was unanimously agreed, that, if the French had crossed the Monon. gahela the roth. instant, as these Indians declare, it is impossible to assemble our dispersed Troops, and march them to Fort Cumberland before the place is invested. That all our forces, their junction prac. ticable, are so inconsiderable, compared with the strength of the Enemy, according to our intelligence, which can admit of no doubt; as a train of artillery is of too great importance to them to risque with a small body of troops; We have great reason to think, that it wou’d be only to expose ourselves to a certain defeat, the consequence of which would inevitably be the leaving this place (the depositary of all His Majestys and Countrys Stores of every kind) naked and defenceless: which wou’d be attended with the immediate Evacuation of that part of the Country, from whence alone Subsistance for any considerable number of Troops cou’d be drawn: which at this juncture wou’d be an irreparable loss and probably be productive of the most fatal consequences to this Colony.
The Colonel likewise desired to know whether the Council judged it most expedient to continue the few troops now at Maidstone, and those dispersed thro’ the little Forts on the South Branch; or to order them on the Branch, with the country men in that Settlement, to the most advan. tageous post there; whilst their women and children shou’d retire to the interior Settlements. Or to evacuate the whole,and reinforce these troops here, with their united Garrisons?
It is the opinion of the Council that as reinforcing this Garrison is absolutely necessary, the detached enfeebled situation of the Garrisons on the South Branch must make them fall an easy prey to the Enemy, and that as drawing them all to one place on the Branch would be giving up all that Settlement except that place, which (supposing it wou’d be maintained) wou’d by no means be of such consequence as reinforcing is important place. That therefore they ought to be ordered hither mediately.

June 16, 1769; At home all day. In the morning Mr. Valentine Crawford came here and in the afternoon Col. Fairfax and Lady. [11]
June 16, 1771: At Kispoko Town (2-3 miles downstream from present Circleville OH) Marmaduke Van Swearingen (Blue Jacket) falls 50 yards short of completing a quarter mile long gauntlet, his designated task prior to being adopted by the Shawnee. However, he had travelled much further than the Shawnee had anticipated. He would be adopted.[12]
June 16, 1774: Arthur St. Clair, of Westmoreland, in a letter of June 16th to Governor Penn, informed the latter of the occurrence, stating that the captain and lieutenant were killed, but afterwards, in the same letter, said, "I was mistaken in saying two people were killed on Ten-Mile Creek. McClure was killed and Kincaid wounded; however, it would have been no great Matter if he had been killed, a he had accepted a Commission in the Service of Virginia so soon after the Notice you had been pleased to take of him at the request of his Father-in-law, Col. Wilson.Before this Accident Mr. Connolly had determined to March from Ft. Pitt (which he now calls Fort Dunmore) with three or four hundred men he had embodied for the purpose of chasing the Shawanese, to erect Forts at Wheeling and Hockhockton to overawe the Indians, and thence to carry the War into their own Country; of this he was pleased to inform me by letter, and to desire I would act in concert with him."
The general tone of the above letter seems to show that (on the part of the Pennsylvania adherents at least) even the imminent danger which threatened all the inhabitants west of the Laurel Hill could not make the partisans of the two colonies forget their animosities and act in concert for the general welfare.[13]
June 16, 1774: In a letter dated Ligonier, June 16 1774,[14] St. Clair informed Governor Penn that a very large party of Indians had been discovered crossing the Ohio below Wheeling and moving eastward. He added, " 'Tis some satisfaction the Indians seem to discriminate between us and those who attacked them, and their Revenge has fallen hitherto on that side of the Monongahela which they consider as Virginia, but least that should not continue, We are taking all possible care to prevent a heavy stroke falling on the few people that are left in this country." Thus the people east of the Monongahela were congratulating themselves that it was not on them, but on the more exposed (but then almost entirely deserted) settlements west of the Monongahela that the savages were wreaking their vengeance.[15]
No. 67. Prince of Hesse to Lieutenant-General von
Knyphausen.
Cassel, June 16, 1777.
I
I expected to receive the particulars of the fatal affair at Tren-
ton on the return of Quarter Master Mueller from Lieutenant
General von Heister. This has not been done and I therefore
expect and demand of the Lieutenant General all the information
necessary to give light on this unlucky business, and enable me
to judge of the proper sentence. The general description has
not yet been received and all the minor points are still wanting.
Quarter Master Mueller's diary does not mention a word of it.
My sensitive feelings are not quieted and the painful shock not
lessened by keeping from me the details of this affair. I there-
fore repeat the demand on the Lieutenant General for a thorough
investigation of the whole matter. Lieutenant Colonel Scheffer
particularly and the commanding officers of the other two regi-
ments must on their return from imprisonment be subject to the
severest investigation. The former must especially be questioned
why he did not take command immediately after Colonel Rail
was wounded and why he did not try to remedy the disaster
when he knew that Colonel Rail was disabled from further
command ? [16]
TO MADAME DE LAFAYETTE from Brother Marquis De Lafatette
Valley Forge Camp, June 16, 1778.
Chance has furnished me, my dearest love, with a very uncertain
opportunity of writing to you, but, such as it is, I shall take
advantage of it, for I cannot resist the wish of saying a few words to
you. You must have received many letters from me lately, if my writing
unceasingly, at least, may justify this hope. Several vessels have
sailed, all laden with my letters. My expressions of heartfelt grief
must even have added to your distress. What a dreadful thing is
absence! I never experienced before all the horrors of separation. My
own deep sorrow is aggravated by the feeling that I am not able to
share and sympathize in your anguish. The length of time that elapsed
before I heard of this event had also increased my misery. Consider, my
love, how dreadful it must be to weep for what I have lost, and tremble
for what remains. The distance between Europe and America appears to me
more enormous than ever. The loss of our poor child is almost
constantly in my thoughts: this sad news followed immediately that of
the treaty; and whilst my heart was torn by grief, I was obliged to
receive and take part in expressions of public joy. I learnt, at the
same time, the loss of our little Adrien, for I always considered that
child as my own, and I regretted him as I should have done a son. I
have written twice to the viscount and viscountess, to express to them
my deep regret, and I hope my letters will reach them safely. I am
writing only to you at present, because I neither know when the vessel
sails, nor when she will arrive, and I am told that a packet will soon
set out which will probably reach Europe first.
I received letters from M. de Cambrai and M. Carmichael. The first one
will be employed, I hope, in an advantageous and agreeable manner; the
second, whom I am expecting with great impatience, has not yet arrived
at the army: how delighted I shall be to see him, and talk to him about
you!--he will come to the camp as soon as possible. We are expecting
every day news from Europe; they will be deeply interesting, especially
to me, who offer up such earnest prayers for the success and glory of
my country. The King of Prussia, it is said, has entered into Bohemia,
and has forgotten to declare war. If a conflict were to take place
between France and England, I should prefer our being left completely
to ourselves, and that the rest of Europe should content herself with
looking on; we should, in that case, have a glorious war, and our
successes would be of a kind to please and gratify the nation.
If the, unfortunate news had reached me sooner, I should have set out
immediately to rejoin you; but the account of the treaty, which we
received the first of May, prevented my leaving this country. The
opening campaign does not allow me to retire. I have always been
perfectly convinced that by serving the cause of humanity, and that of
America, I serve also the interest of France. Another motive for
remaining longer is, that the commissioners have arrived, and that I am
well pleased to be within reach of the negotiations. To be useful in
any way to my country will always be agreeable to me. I do not
understand why a minister plenipotentiary, or something of that kind,
has not been already sent to America; I am most anxious to see one,
provided always it may not be myself, for I am but little disposed to
quit the military career to enter into the diplomatic corps.
There is no news here; the only topic of conversation is the news from
Europe, and to that many idle tales are always prefixed: there has been
little action on either side; the only important affair was the one
which fell to my share the 20th of last month, and there was not any
blood shed even there.
General Washington had entrusted me to conduct a detachment of two
thousand four hundred chosen men to the vicinity of Philadelphia. It
would be too long to explain to you the cause, but it will suffice to
tell you, that, in spite of all my precautions, I could not prevent the
hostile army from making a nocturnal march, and I found myself the next
morning with part of the army in front, and seven thousand men in my
rear. These gentlemen were so obliging as to take measures for sending
to New York those who should not be killed; but they were so kind,
also, as to permit us to retire quietly, without doing us any injury.
We had about six or seven killed or wounded, and they
twenty-five or thirty, which did not make them amends for a march, in
which one part of the army had been obliged to make forty miles.
Some days afterwards, our situation having altered, I returned to the
camp, and no events of importance have occurred since. We are expecting
the evacuation of Philadelphia, which must, we fancy, soon take place.
I have been told that on the 10th of April they were thinking of
negotiating rather than of fighting, and that England was becoming each
day more humble.
If this letter ever reaches you, my dearest love, present my respects
to the Duke d'Ayen, the Marshal de Noailles, and Madame de Tesse, to
whom I have written by every vessel, although she accuses me of having
neglected her, which my heart is incapable of doing. I have also
written to Madame d'Ayen by the two last ships, and by several previous
ones. Embrace a thousand times the dear viscountess, and tell her how
well I love her. A thousand tender regards to my sisters; a thousand
affectionate ones to the viscount, M. de Poix, to Coigny,~[1] Segur,
his brother, Etienne,~[2] and all my other friends. Embrace, a million
of times, our little Anastasia;--alas! she alone remains to us! I feel
that she has engrossed the affection that was once divided between my
two children: take great care of her. Adieu; I know not when this may
reach you, and I even doubt its ever reaching you.

1. Probably the Marquis de Coigny.
2. The Count Etienne de Durfort, now peer of France.
IRVINE TO WASHINGTON.
FORT PITT~ June 16, 1782.
Sir: — In my letter of the 21st of May, I mentioned to your excellency that a body of volunteer militia was assembling at the Mingo Bottom to go against Sandusky. The inclosed letters, one from Colonel Williamson,[17] second in command, and the other from Lieutenant Rose, my aid-de-camp, contain all the particulars of this transaction which have yet come to my knowledge. I am of opinion had they reached the place in seven days, instead of ten, which might have been done, especially as they were chiefly mounted, they would have succeeded. They should also have pushed time advantage evidently gained at the commencement of the action. They failed in another point which they had my advice and indeed positive orders for, namely, to make the last day’s march as long as possible and attack the place in the night. But they halted in the evening within nine miles and fired their rifles at seven in the morning before they marched. These people now seem convinced that they cannot perform as much by themselves as they sometime since thought they could. Perhaps it is right that they should put more dependence on regular troops. I am sorry I have not more to afford them assistance.[18]
WASHINGTON TO PRESLEY NEVILLE.
PHILADELPHIA, June 16, 1794.
SIR :—I should have written you at an earlier period, but for the extreme hurry into which I was thrown at the close of the session of Congress, which did not terminate before Monday last, and from my not having adverted, in time, to the Pittsburg post-day of last week. This letter, as I shall set out for Virginia tomorrow, is left to go by next Saturday’s mail.
Inclosed is a blank power, authorizing Mr. Charles Morgan, or any other with whose name you shall fill it, to collect the rents arising from my land in Fayette and Washington counties, in this State, together with such arrearages as may be due for the preceding years, if any there be. Another blank is also left, which I pray you to fill up with the percentage to be allowed as a compensation for the trouble and expense of collection. The inducements to this are, first, because I do not recollect what Colonel Cannon[19] has been allowed for his services; and, secondly, because there is no invariable allowance established, places and circumstances varying it.
A letter from Colonel Cannon is also inclosed, requesting him to give the necessary information to his successor, and to desire that he would discontinue all further agency in my business. This letter is left open, for your insertion of the name of his successor. The emolument arising from this collection is too trifling to become an object worthy your acceptance, or I should never have inquired for another before I had offered it to you.
From the experience of many years, I have found distant property in land more pregnant of perplexities than profit. I have therefore resolved to sell all I hold on the Western waters, if I can obtain the prices which I conceive their quality, their situation, and other advantages would authorize me to expect. Conversing with Mr. Ross, one of your senators, on this subject, a day or two before he left the city, he gave it to me as his opinion that the present juncture was favorable for the sale of my land in this State, and was so obliging as to offer his services to effect it. He thought the quality of my land in Fayette county, together with the improvements and show of iron-ore within less than thirty yards of the mill door, ought on credit to command six dollars [an acre]. The other I have always held at four dollars. The former tract contains 1,644 acres; the latter, 2,813 acres by the patent, but it measures more than 3,000 acres by subsequent survey.
If, Sir, as you live at Pittsburg, the probable place of inquiring after land in that country, you should find it convenient, and not militating against any plans of your own, to make mention of mine, and to aid Mr. Ross in the sale of these tracts, it would oblige me.
If a fourth of the purchase money is paid at the time of conveyance, a credit of four, five, or six years might be allowed for the remainder, provided it is fully secured, and the interest thereon regularly paid at one of the banks in this state Baltimore, Georgetown, or Alexandria. To receive this without trouble, and with punctuality, as it becomes due, will be insisted upon.
My land on the Ohio and Great Kenhawa rivers, amounting to 32,373 acres, was once sold for sixty-five thousand French crowns, to a French gentleman, who was very competent to the payment at the time the contract was made; but, getting a little embarrassed in his finances by the revolution in his country, by mutual agreement the bargain was canceled. Lately, I have been in treaty for the same land, at three dollars and a third per acre for the whole quantity; but, being connected with other matters, it is not likely to result in a bargain, as I once expected, and therefore I am at liberty to seek another market.
To give a further description of these lands than to say they are the cream of the country in which they are, that they were the first choice of it, and that the whole is on the margin of the rivers, and bounded thereby for fifty-eight miles, would be unnecessary to you, who must have a pretty accurate idea of them and their value. But it may not be amiss to add, for the information of others, that the quantity before mentioned is contained in seven surveys, to wit: Three on the Ohio, east side, between the mouths of the Little and Great Kenhawas. The first is the first large bottom below the mouth of the Little Kenhawa, containing 2,314 acres, and is bounded by the river five miles and a quarter. The second is the fourth large bottom, on the same side of the river, about sixteen miles lower down, containing 2,448 acres, bounded by the river three miles and a quarter. The third is the next large bottom, three miles and a half below, and opposite nearly to the Great Bend, containing 4,395 acres, with a margin on the river of five miles. The other four tracts are on the Great Kenhawa. The first of them contains 10,990 acres, on the west side, and begins within two or three miles of the mouth of it, and is bounded thereby for more than seventeen miles. The second is on the east side of the river, a little higher up, containing 7,276 acres, and bounded by the stream thirteen miles. The other two are at the mouth of Cole river, on both sides and in the fork thereof, containing together 4,950 acres, and, like the others, are all interval land, having a front upon the water of twelve miles.
Besides these, I have the Round Bottom, opposite to Pipe creek, about fifteen miles below Wheeling, which contains 587 acres,[20] with two miles and a half front on the river, and of quality inferior to none thereon; and 234 acres at the Great-Meadows, on Braddock’s road, with the allowances.
For the whole of these tracts taken together, I would allow seven years’ credit, without requiring a fourth of the purchase money to be paid down, provided the principal is amply secured, and the interest also, in the manner before mentioned; for to have no disappointment or trouble in the receipt of this must be a sine qud non. If the tracts are sold separately, I should expect a fourth of the purchase to be paid down, and more than three dollars and a quarter per acre for the Round Bottom and the tract of 10,990 acres on the Great Kenhawa, knowing from my own view the extraordinary value of these tracts. With very great esteem and regard, I am, etc.[21]

June 16, 1812: Great Britain revokes the law authorizing “impressment” but by the time Washington hears the news several weeks later, it is too late.
June 16, 1846: The Papal conclave of 1846 concluded. Pope Pius IX was chosen to lead the Catholic Church, beginning the longest reign in the history of the post-apostolic papacy. The papal reign of Pius IX was marked by a variety of reactionary policies as he sought to deal with the loss of the papal temporal power to the emerging united nation of Italy. The Pope returned those Jews under his control to the Ghetto. “Pius IX was the Pope who decided in 1867 to raise to sainthood one of sixteenth-century Spain's notorious grand inquisitors, Don Pedro Arbues de Epilae. He was considered a martyr (witness to the Catholic faith) after some of the family of his Jewish victims managed to assassinate him -- and then suffered grievously themselves.-- It was the conviction of the great liberal theologian of that time, Father Dollinger, that canonizing the inquisitor "served the pope's campaign of riding roughshod over liberal Catholics as well as Jews. The pope was celebrating a man who had sanctioned compulsory baptism of Jews, then inflicted judicial torture to make sure these conversions were sincere.” The most stinging example of the Pope’s anti-Jewish views and behavior is abduction of a Jewish child named Edgardo Mortara. When Pious IX was beatified in 2000, the ADL issued the following statement which summarizes the event. “The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today expressed concern at the Vatican’s beatification of Pope Pius IX, who was responsible for the 1858 abduction of a six-year old Jewish child. Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement: "The beatification of Pius IX is troubling for the Jewish community. Pius was responsible for the case of Edgardo Mortara, who at the age of six was abducted from his family in Bologna and taken to the Vatican by Papal police after it was reported that the Jewish child has been secretly baptized. Many European heads of state protested the 1858 kidnapping, as did Jewish leadership. As a result, Pius blamed Rome’s Jews for what he believed was a widespread Protestant conspiracy to defeat the papacy and levied medieval restrictions on the community. While ADL respects the beatification process as a matter for the Catholic Church alone, we find the selection of Pius IX as inappropriate based on policies he pursued as the head of the Church. It is in the context of the many years of positive progress in Catholic-Jewish relations, including the historic visit of Pope John Paul II to Israel and his asking for the forgiveness of the Jewish people, that the beatification of Pius IX, whose role in denying Edgardo Mortara his family and his right to be who he was, is most unfortunate."[23]

A report on public attitudes toward the yellow star, prepared by Rothke, Dannecker’s new assistant, and sent to Berlin by Knochen, states: “Large sectors of the population display little or no understanding of the distinctive [Jewish] insignia. ‘Poor Jews,’ is heard constantly, especially abouyt Jewish children. They persist in seeing the Jewish question as a religious question rather than a crucial problem…Some French teachers have told their non-Jewish students to have sympathy for their Jewish classmates.”[27]

18th Virginia Cavalry: synopsis of activity, based on Roger U. Delauter, 18th Virginia Cavalry (Lynchburg, Va.: H. E. Howard, Inc., 1985.
The 18th Virginia Cavalry was organized by General John D. Imboden in the fall of 1862 and spring 1863. Many of its members—the Godloves included—had served in units formed the 1st Partisan Rangers (which became the 62nd Mounted Infantry).
In April-May 1863 the 18th Cav skirmished with Federal forces in the western counties of Virginia. In June-July General Lee sent Imboden on raids in against Federal positions in Hampshire Co., Va., Cumberland, Md., Berkeley Springs, Va., and Fulton and Franklin Counties, Pa., to protect Lee’s right flank as the main army moved into Pa. in the campaign that culminated at Gettysburg, July 1-4. During the Battle of Gettysburg Imboden’s Brigade formed Lee’s rear guard and defended the wagon trains of Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia as it retreated from Gettysburg.
The 18th Cav was part of the Confederate force that guarded the Shenandoah Valley in 1863 and 1864. It participated in the Valley Campaign of 1864, including the Battle of New Market (May 15), the Second Battle of Kernstown (July 24), the Third Battle of Winchester (September 19), the Battle of Cedar Creek (October 19) and remained in the Valley, usually the Page Valley in the east of the larger Shenandoah Valley, through the rest of the year, participating in several less-consequential engagements, and losing about forty percent of its members, killed, wounded, captured.
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.[31]
Jim, Great work. You are the best at this that I have ever seen. It is too compelling of a story to ignore the fact that the Godlove's and Goodlove's are both in the Iowa 24th. The lines cross too many time's, the Cohen DNA is way to close, the name's are way to close, and Conrad shows up in a court document that you discovered, in Hardy county. I would like to know more about the 18th Virginia Cavalry. Horses have always played a big part of the Goodlove story, starting with Conrad being a member of the Ohio Cavalry in the War of 1812. I was wondering if you could help me in the story of the Virginia 18th, and the participation of the Godlove's in that regiment? I don't know about anyone else, but I would love to hear about it. Thanks for your help all these years, it has been a pleasure. Jeff Goodlove

[16] THE BATTLES OF TRENTON AND PRINCETON BY WILLIAM S. STRYKER
[17]See Williamson to Irvine, June 13, 1782, Appendix M.
[18]This letter differs somewhat from the copy retained by Irvine, which reads as follows:
“FORT PITT, June 16, 1782.
“Sir: — In my letter of the 21st of May, I mentioned to your excellency that a body of volunteer militia were assembling at the Mingo Bottom to go against Sandusky. The enclosed letters, one from Colonel Williamson, second in command, and the other from Lieutenant Rose, my aid-de-camp, contain all the particulars of this transaction which have yet come to my knowledge. I am of opinion the cause of their failure was owing to the slowness of the (continued July 1, 1782 march, and not pushing the advantage they had evidently gained at their first commencing the action. They were ten days on the march, when it might have been performed in seven, particularly as they were chiefly mounted; my advice was to attack the town in the night, but instead thereof they halted within ten miles in the evening and did not take up their line of march till seven in the morning. These people now seem convinced that they cannot perform as much by themselves as they sometime since thought they could; perhaps it is right that they should put more dependence on regular troops. I am sorry I have not more to afford them assistance.” [Immediately following the word “knowledge, “in this copy, are the following words, which have a line drawn over them: “Dr. Knight, mentioned in Mr. Rose’s letter, is one of the regimental surgeons of this garrison, whom I spared to Colonel Crawford and is also missing.’ ‘I
Of the volunteers who went upon the expedition against Sandusky, about two-thirds were from Washington county; the residue, except a few from Ohio county, Virginia, were from Westmoreland. The final rendezvous was at the Mingo bottom on the west side of the Ohio river, where, on the twenty-fourth day of May, four hundred and eighty, finally, congregated. They distriboted themselves into eighteen companies. The general officers elected were: For colonel-commandant, Colonel Wm. Crawford; for four field majors (to rank in the order named), David Williamson, Thomas Gaddis, John McClelland, and James Brenton; for brigade major, Daniel Leet. Dr. John Knight went as surgeon; John Rose, as aid. The guides were Thomas Nicholson, John Slover and Jonathan Zane.
The volunteers began their march the next day for Sandusky. All were mounted. On the fourth of June, the enemy were encountered a short distance north of what is now Upper Sandusky, Ohio. They numbered something over three hundred, consisting of about two hundred savages —Wyandots, Delawares, Mingoes, and “Lake Indians “—and a company of rangers from Detroit, under command of Captain William Caldwell. A battle ensued, with the advantnge on the side of the Americans. The loss of the enemy was five Idled—four Indians and a ranger—and eleven wounded, including Capt. Caldwell; the American loss was five killed and nineteen wounded. The next day (June 5th) the enemy were re-enforced by not less than one hundred and forty Shawanese and by a small detachment of rangers. Crawford called a council of war and it was decided to retreat.
The return march began soon after dark of the same day, but was attended with considerable confusion. The main portion of the retreating army was joined the next morning by some straggling parties, so that the whole numbered about three hundred; and the retreat was continued. Quite a number were missing; among them were Col. Crawford, Dr. Knight, Major McClelland and. John Slover. In the afternoon (June 6th), the volunteers were overtaken by a force of the enemy, in what is now Crawford county, Ohio, and a warm engagement ensued; but the pursurers were driven off, with a loss to the Americans of three killed and eight wounded. The expedition finally reached the Mingo bottom on their return; and re-crossed the Ohio on the thirteenth of June, having with them a number of their wounded. The next day the army disbanded. The entire loss was about fifty men. Of’ those taken by the enemy, only two escaped — Dr. Knight and John Slover. A number of the captured were tomahawked; but Colonel Crawford, his son-in-law (Wm. Harrison), and a few others (all of whom had been made prisoners), were tortured at the stake. The first named perished miserably, amidst the most terrible suffering, on the eleventh of June, in what is now Wyandot county, Ohio.

William Crawford, in 1782; With Biographical Sketches, Personal Reminiscences, and Descriptions of Interesting Localities; Including, also, Details of the Disastrous Retreat, the Barbarities of the Savages, and the Awful Death of Crawford by Torture.”)
