I Get Email!
In a message dated 6/10/2011 8:17:02 P.M. Central Daylight Time,
Jeff,
After I retired, my wife insisted
that I accompany her on her trips to Target.
Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring
and preferred
to get in and get out.
Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women she loves to browse.
Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local
Target:
Dear Mrs. Goodlove,
Over the past six months, your husband has
caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this
behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store.
Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Goodlove, are listed below and
are documented by our video surveillance cameras:
1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in
other people's carts when they weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in
House wares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading
to the women's restroom.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice,
'Code 3 in House wares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to
leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her
Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing
management to lose time and costing the company money.
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.
6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the
children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and
blankets from the bedding department to which twenty
children obliged.
8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he
began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me
alone?' EMTs were called.
9.
September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it
as a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked
the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly
humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.
12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look'
using different sizes of funnels.
13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through,
yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'
14. October 22: When an announcement came over the loud speaker,
he assumed a fetal position and screamed
'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'
15. Took a box of condoms to the
checkout clerk and asked where is the fitting room?
And last, but not least:
16. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door,
waited awhile, and then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet
paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.
Dear Jeff,
I just received an unbelievable email from a friend in Jerusalem. In their latest attempt to de-legitimatize Israel, the Palestinians are now claiming that the prayer found in Psalm 137:5 written while the Jews were in captivity in Babylon, "If I forget thee oh Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill," is a Christian prayer, not a Jewish one! Palestinian researcher Dr. Hayel Sanduqa in an appearance on Palestinian television last week, said the famous quote was "said by the Frankish [Crusader] ruler of Acre shortly before he left," and "borrowed by the Zionist movement, which it falsified in the name of Zionism." Such delusional thinking would be humorous were it not so deadly serious. These people do not believe Israel has any right to exist.
Modeh ani l'faneykha, melekh chai vekayam; rabbah emunatekha.
I thank you, living and eternal King; great is your faithfulness.
Your ambassador to Jerusalem,
Dr. Michael Evans
This Day…
June 17, 1025: Boleslaw I the Brave, first king of Poland, passed away. There were reports of Jews living in Poland during the time Mieszko I, Boleslaw’s father. Jews were reported to have been living in Gniezno, Poland’s first capital during the 10th and 11th century which included the reign of Boleslaw.[1]
June 17, 1239: Edward I, called Longshanks (1239-1307), King of England (1272-1307), of the house of Plantagenet. He was born in Westminster on June 17, 1239, the eldest son of King Henry III. [2] Edward is famed for the “Model Parliament.” He is known to American filmgoers as the King who tortured and killed William Wallace. In Jewish history, he is the monarch who expelled the Jews from his realm in 1290, having extracted every economic advantage from them that was possible. Jews would not return as a community until the final days of the Tudors.[3]
Edward I, is the compilers 21st great grandfather.
Not only the Jews themselves, but also their books are attacked. In 1239, Pope Gregory orders the Talmud to be put on trial because it allegedly contains lies about the life of Christ and the Blessed Virgin. The Talmud is ordered confiscated and burned. The Talmud remains a target of suspicion until the 20th century.
Panel by Berruguete, 15th century.
[4]
1239: Following the denunciation of a converted Jew named Nikolas Donin of La Rochelle, Pope Gregory IX was informed in in 1239 that the Jeds were guided in their practices not by the biblical injunctions and tabboos as transmitted by Moses in Sinai but by a monstrous collection of books entitled Talmud. Various committees were appointed, mainly in France. [5]
June 17, 1242: At the decree of Pope Gregory IX and King Louis, all copies of the Talmud were confiscated in Paris. Declaring that the reason for the stubbornness of the Jews was their study of the Talmud, the Pope called for an investigation of the Talmud that resulted in its condemnation and burning. Twenty-four cartloads of Hebrew manuscripts were publicly burned. Rabbi Meir was an eyewitness to the public burning of the twenty-four cartloads of Talmudic manuscripts (and he bewailed this tragedy in his celebrated "Kina" Shaali serufah (שאלי שרופה) which is still recited on Tisha B'Av.[6]
June 17, 1462: Vlad III the Impaler attempted to assassinate Mehmed II forcing him to retreat from Wallachia. Fortunately for the Jewish people, the attempt on his life failed. When Mehmed conquered Constantinople he was warmly greeted by the city’s Jews. Over the years, he welcomed Jews fleeing from Europe and urged them to settle in his domain. The Jews were so grateful that they even formed a regiment called “The Sons of Moses” to fight under Mehmed’s banner.[7]
June 17, 1501: John I Albert (or Olbracht in Polsih) passed away. In 1495 King Jan I Olbracht transferred Krakow Jews to the nearby royal city of Kazimierz, which gave rise to its once bustling Jewish quarter and a major European center of the Diaspora for the next three centuries. With time it turned into virtually separate and self-governed 34-acre Jewish Town, a model of every East European shtetl, within the limits of the gentile city of Kazimierz. As refugees from all over Europe kept coming to find the safe haven here, its population reached 4,500 by 1630.[8]
June 17, 1696: John III Sobieski, King of Poland, passed away. John III Sobieski is best remembered as commander who defeated the Turks at Vienna. According to tradition, the first bagels were baked by Jewish bakers in Vienna to commemorate the victorious charge by the Polish cavalry. The bagel was shaped to look like a stirrup (key equipment for cavalrymen) and one of the first one baked was given to John III. Modern day scholarship has challenged the legend, but the legend lives on.[9]
June 1717: Organized Freemasonry traces its rise to a meeting held in June 1717 in London, England. From that time, Lodges were established throughout England and around the world.[10]
June 17, 1731: At an auto-de-fe in Lisbon four men and eight women were condemned. A majority of the 12 were burnt at the stake. On this particular Sunday four men and eight women were present at the auto-de-fe of Lisbon. A majority of them were burned alive. A total of 71 other persons were sentenced at this event. Duarte Navarro, an 83 year old New Christian, was among those condemned for Judaizing.[11]
June 1747: The chief of MacKinnon was taken prisoner in MacKonald of Morar’s house the day after parting with Charles. For a year he was a prisoner at Tilbury Fort and in the Tower of London, and was one among eighty principal Highlanders who had been attainted and were excepted from the act of indemnity passed in June 1747. On being tried for his life, however, at the close of that year, he obtained a pardon, in consideration of his advanced years and of the spirit of chivalry rather than of rebellion which he evinced, and Sir Dudley Ryder, the Attorney General, pronounced his release. As he was about to leave the court the Judge called him back, saying, “Tell me, if Prince Charles were again in your power, what would you do?” The stout old Highlander replied, with very marked emphasis, “I would do to the Prince as you have done this day to me. I would send him back to his own country.”
The death of the old chief was thus noticed in the journals of the time: “May 7, 1756. Died at his house of Kilmorie, in the Isle of Skye, John MacKinnon of that ilk, i.e. the old Laird of MacKinnon, in 75th year of his age, leaving issue two sons and a daughter, all born after 71st year of his age.”
For the remainder of the century, few events in connection with the family are chronicled; the little property left to them in Skye was purchased in 1765 by the Trustees of the great and good Sir James MacDonald then a minor, from the Trustees of MacKinnon of MacKinnon when a minor also.[12]
June 1755: Stewart's Crossing was on the Youghiogheny River below present-day Connellsville, Pa. The site was named for William Stewart, who settled there in 1753 (COOK, 15). Braddock's army had crossed the Youghiogheny at this ford in June 1755 on the way to Fort Duquesne. The area was included in the tract of land on the Youghiogheny surveyed and occupied by William Crawford in 1769. [1]
June 1758
In March 1759 Daniel McKinnon advertised that he was divorcing his former wife, Ruth, because she bore an adulterous cfhild in March 1759, begotten about the beginning of June 1758 while he was in Great Britain.[13]
June 1774
Fort Henry
The fort at Wheeling, first named Fort Fincastle for one of Lord Dunmore's titles, was built early in June 1774, by Major William Crawford whom John Connolly, the Royal Captain Commandant of West Augusta, then at Fort Pitt, sent down the Ohio River for this purpose. In Lord Dunmore's war Major Crawford made three expeditions to the Indian territory, in the second of which he built Fort Fincastle.
It was built on the site of Zane's Run, and was originally named Fort Fincastle, 1774. It was renamed Fort Henry, in honor of Gov. Patrick Henry, 1776."[14]
Fort Henry, at Wheeling, was built at the expense of the English Government, by the order of the Earl of Dunmore, while on his campaign against the Indians in the summer of 1774, who, when he descended the river in pursuit of the Indians on the Scioto, left Colonel William Crawford and Angus McDonald, with a detatchment of men to build and garrison the fort. [15]
The fort was substantially built of squared timbers painted at the top and furnished with bastions and sentry boxes at the angles. The interior of the fort contained a house for the officers and barracks for the men. Its area was something more than half an acre.
This fort was designed for the refuge and protection of the lower settlements in this district of country, and being next in strength and importance to fort Pitt, soon attracted the notice of the Indians and their English allies, who at three different periods attempted to break up the establishment.[16]
The first fort at Wheeling was built in the summer of 1774, by order of Lord Dunmore, under direction of Majors William Crawford and Angus McDonald. It stood upon the Ohio bank about a quarter of a mile above the entrance of Wheeling Creek. Standing in open ground, it was a parallelogram of square pickets pointed at top, with bastions and sentry boxes at the angles, and enclosed over half an acre. It ranked in strength and importance, next to Fort Pitt. Within the fort were log barracks, an officers’ house, a storehouse, a well, and cabins for families. A steep hill rises not far inland; between the fort and the base of this hill the forest had been leveled, and a few log cabins were nestled in the open. At first the fort had been called Fincastle, for the Ohio Valley settlements were then in Fincastle County, Va; but upon the opening of the Revolution the post, now in Ohio County, was named Fort Henry, in honor of the first state governor of Virginia. [17]
June 1775: The Revolutionary War had just begun when the Second Continental Congress met in emergency session in Philadelphia. At Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill, and now in June 1775, amid the Boston siege, the Minutemen’s inaccurate smoothbore muskets stood slim chance of hitting a Redcoat beyond 50 yards. What could be done?
John Hancock, a Freemason, whose elegant signature graces the Declaration of Independence, urged his congressional colleagues to recruit America’s frontier riflemen, “the finest marksmen in the world.
“ Future president John Adams agreed, noting that they could fire with “great exactness to great distances.” Thus, by special Act opf Congress the very first unit of what became the U.S. Army was as revolutionary as the war itself, an all-volunteer rifle battalion. From the trackless forests of Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland, marksmen by the hundreds grabbed their fine longrifles and set off for Boston.
They were truly elite, these rifleman-sharpshooters, never exceeding 5 percent of the Continental Army’s foot soldiers; yet, these few legendary marksmen and their precision shooting would prove decisive at the war’s most critical moments. In Boston, the newly organized 12 companies of 82 marksmen quickly made life hazardous on the British lines. Congress was told, “riflemen picked off ten men in one day, three of whom were Field officers [and] one of them was killed at the distance of 250 yards, when only half his head was seen.”That toll soon rose to 42 enemy soldiers and officers, causing one Englishmen to write home that the riflemen’s fire had, “grown so terrible…that nothing is to be seen over the breastworks but a hat.” Another British visitor warned, “Advise your officers who shall hereafter come out to America to settle their affairs before their departure.” [18]
June, 1775
In June 1775, Battle Harrison enlisted in the rifle company raised by Hugh Stephenson[19], brother of John Stephenson, and half-brother of William Crawford. Battle Harrison was one of Capt. Hugh Stephenson’s “buckskin” riflemen, who carried scalping knives and tomahawks, in the long march to assist in relief of the siege at Boston.[20]
June 17, 1775
Battle of Bunker Hill. Americans fortify Charlestown, overlooking Boston from the north. British troops suffer over 1,000 casualties as they take the Americans fort.[21]
[22]
Entrance to Copp’s Hill Burying Ground
“During the occupation of Boston, British troops manned a battery at Copp’s Hill and rained fire onto nearby Charlestown during the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775.”
[23]
Copp’s Hill in Boston is the North Ends highest piece of land. During the Revolution, British soldiers camped among the gravestones; and in the Battle of Bunker Hill, they fired shells on Charlestown from this summit. [24]
At Copp’s Hill Burying Ground in Boston are buried two of 17th century Boston’s most learned and most powerful men. Increase and Cotton Mather, father and son, were both ministers, both active in politics. Their family was a literal dynasty which charted the course of Puritanism in Massachusetts.
The younger Mather is best known today for his 1689 book “Memorable Providences, Relating to Witchcrafts and Possessions,” which helped fuel the witch hysteria in nearby Salem. After the witch trials began, however, both of the Mathers did all they could to stop them. [25]

Roxbury, the home of Jason Winch, is on the bottom of this map. It is a short walk to Boston or Charlestown, where Jason joined the fight at Bunker Hill.
The massive Christian Science Church[28] is located on what was then the far west end of Roxbury, now in Boston.
[29]
The Boston Opera House sits on what was the far east end of Roxbury. While in Boston Sherri and I managed to get the last two tickets (the usher’s seats) to “Fiddler on the Roof” which was sold out. It was one of Topals[30], (from the original movie) final performances. Fiddler on the Roof is a story of the expulsion of Jews from Russia.

The Landscape
The land going up to the hilltop fortifications and to the rail fence was pasture, covered in tall grass, full of hidden obstructions and not advantageos for troops accustomed to rigid formation tactics. Charlestown’s houses, just south of the patriots’ redoubt, concealed snipers. The town was set afire by British incendiary projectiles fired from ships and batteries in Boston early in the afternoon.
The Landing
The boats are at Moultons Point where most of the British Troops landed around 1 PM. Reinforcements for the third attack landed a little west of here.

June 1776: Even as the Hessian riflemen were arriving in America, the British authorized the deployment of five riflemen to each company, arming them with short barreled rifles similar to those carried bgy the Jaegers. Additionally, one company of each regimen’s 10 was designated a “light company” of skirmishers and scouts, and these troops, too, often included riflemen. The British employed small numbers of riflmen in support of larger elements, rather than designating them to separate units.
There were exceptions, the most notable being the Corps of Riflemen led by Capt. Patrick Ferguson. A world-class marksman considered the finest rifle shot in the British Army, Ferguson also was the inventive genius who designed the world’s first breech-loaded military rifle, which could fire an astounding six aimed shots per minute. When he demonstrated his rifle for King George III in June 1776, not only did the enthusiastic monarch order it into production, but he authorized Ferguson to recruit his own 100 man Corps of Riflemen to be armed with the revolutionary gun. [49]
Unfortunately for Ferguson, his commander in America, Sir William Howe, did not take well to young upstarts with pet ideas. How publicly welcomed the new unit and its peculiar rifle, but he sought to dispose of both. [50]
June 17, 1776: Fifth Regiment General Stevens Brigade, William Crawford was promoted to lieutenant-colonel. He served until August 14, 1776. He was promoted to colonel at Trenton, NJ, December 26, 1776, of the Seventh Regiment which he headed 1776-1778. It was raised largely by William Crawford in the district of West Augusta. It was accepted by Congress February 29, 1776 and was taken on the Continental Establishment June 17, 1776. It seems to have been attached to General Woodford’s Brigade during its entire term of service. The Regiment was nearly cut to pieces in the defeat at Brandywine. Evidently it was largely recruited after that date, as the rearrangement in September 1776. The Seventh Regiment alone of the first nine regiments maintained its separate existence, not being combined with any other. It was renumbered the Fifth Regiment under the following commands. Colonel William Dangerfleld, February 19, 1776 - August 13, 1776, resigned. Colonel William Crawford, August 14, 1776 - March 4, 1777, resigned. Colonel Alexander McClenhan, October 7, 1776 - May 13, 1778, resigned. Thirteenth Regiment 1776-1778. This was the fourth of the six regiments of October 1776. It was raised in West Augusta District, largely through the efforts of Colonel William Crawford of the Seventh Regiment. It formed part of Muhlenberg’s Brigade in September 1778, it was renumbered the Ninth Regiment.[51]\

The Bounty Land Warrant No. 581, bearing date of June 17th, 1783, issued to William Crawford as Colonel, is where the first signs of Lieut. John Crawford having been made ‘heir at law’ to the 6666 2/3 acres. At the same time, John was accredited with 3000-4000 acres for serving in the Virginia Cont. Line Establishment, like his father. This would constitue more than 10,000 acres for Lieut. John Crawford (heir at law). The B. L. W. no. 2569 is the number traced for Lieut. John Crawford for his own services.
After discovering many Crawfords having the given names of John and William, the object of numbers becomes necessary. With the duplication of B. L. W. warrant numbers, a treasury number, a Virginia grant number and a grantee number may serve as a guide. No doubt the land in Bounty Land Warrant No. 851, issued to Col. William Crawford, consisting of 6,666 2/3 acres, was accredited to John Crawford (heir at law) and pooled together under other numbers which were assigned later to John. Therafter, Treasury no. 2690, Virginia Grant no. 7612 and Grantee no. 12591, being checked and traced, we learn of the enormous quantity of bounty lands belonging to Col. William and Lieut. John Crawford. According to the Kentucky Land Office at Frankfort, no other person by the name of Crawford, in the state of Kentucky was ever issued that much land. This will apply to all bounty land located in Virginia as well.[50] [60]
June 1786: After leading troops into several successful battles, including the Battle of Trenton in December 1776 and the Battle of Germantown in October 1777, Greene succeeded Thomas Mifflin as quartermaster general in March 1778. Greene was named commander in chief of the Southern Army in October 1778; he commanded troops on the battlefield throughout the rest of the revolution. After twice turning down offers to become secretary of war, Greene retired from the military in 1785. Less than one year later, in June 1786, Greene died at his Georgia home.[61]

June 17, 1798: A leading spirit in this party (though not, strictly speaking, the leader of it) was George Rogers Clarke, who a few years later became widely famed as the general who led a body of Virginia troops on an expedition (which proved entirely successful) against Vincennes and other British posts in and west of the valley of the Wabash. Many years afterwards Gen. Clarke wrote an account (dated June 17, 1798) of the circumstances attending the commencement of hostilities in the spring of 1774, and of the movements of his party of Virginians and the other parties with Cresap and Zane along the Ohio at that time. His account, which was written at Louisville, Ky., is as follows:
"This Country [Kentucky] was explored in 1773. A resolution was formed to make a settlement in the spring following, and the mouth of the Little Kanawha appointed the place of general rendezvous, in order to descend the Ohio from thence in a body. Early in the spring the Indians had done some mischief. Reports from their towns were alarming, which deterred many. About eighty or ninety men only arrived at the appointed rendezvous, where we lay some days. A small party of hunters that lay about ten miles below us were fired upon by the Indians, whom the hunters beat back and returned to camp. this and many other circumstances led us to believe that the Indians were determined on war. The whole party was enrolled, and determined to execute their project of forming a settlement in Kentucky, as we had every necessary store that could be thought of. An Indian town called the Horsehead Bottom, on the Scioto, and near its mouth, lay nearly in our way. The determination was to cross the country and surprise it. Who was to command was the question. There were but few among us who had experience in Indian warfare, and they were such as we did not choose to be commanded by. We knew of Capt. Cresap being on the river, about fifteen miles above us, with some hands settling a plantation, and that he had concluded to follow us to Kentucky as soon as he had fixed there his people. We also knew that he had been experienced in a former war. He was proposed, and it was unanimously agreed to send for him to command the party. Messengers were dispatched, and in half an hour returned with Cresap. He had heard of our resolution by some of his hunters that had fallen in with ours, and had set out to come to us.
"We thought our army, as we called, complete, and the destruction of the Indians sure. A council was called, and to our astonishment our intended commander-in-chief was the person that dissuaded us from the enterprise. He said that appearances were very suspicious, but there was not certainty of a war; that if we made the attempt proposed he had doubt of our success, but a war would at any rate be the result, and that we should be blamed for it, and perhaps justly. But if we determined to proceed he would lay aside all considerations, send to him camp for his people, and share our fortunes. He was then asked what he would advise. His answer was that we should return to Wheeling as a convenient spot to hear what was going forward; that a few weeks would determine. As it was early in the spring, if we found the Indians were not disposed for war, we should have full time to return and make our establishment in Kentucky. This was adopted, and in two hours the whole were under way.”
"On our arrival at Wheeling (the whole country being pretty well settled thereabouts) the whole of the inhabitants appeared to be alarmed. They flocked to our camp from every direction, and all we could say we could not keep them from under our wings. We offered to cover their neighborhood with scouts until further information if they would return to their plantations, but nothing would prevail. By this time we had got to be a formidable party. All the hunters, men without families, etc., in that quarter had joined our party. Our arrival at Wheeling was soon known at Pittsburgh. The whole of that country at that time being under the jurisdiction of Virginia,[63] Dr. Connolly[64] had been appointed by Dunmore captain-commandant of the district, which was called West Augusta.[65] He, learning of us, sent a message addressed to the party, letting us know that a war was to be apprehended, and requesting that we would keep our position for a few days, as messages had been sent to the Indians, and a few days would determine the doubt. The answer he got was, that we had no inclination to quit our quarters for some time, that during our stay we should be careful that the enemy did not harass the neighborhood that we lay in. But before this answer could reach Pittsburgh he sent a second express, addressed to Capt. Cresap, as the most influential man amongst us, informing him that the messengers had returned from the Indians, that war was inevitable, and begging him to use his influence with the party to get them to cover the country by scouts until the inhabitants could fortify themselves. The reception of this letter was the epoch of open hostilities with the Indians. A new post was planted, a council was called, and the letter read by Cresap, all the Indian traders being summoned on so important an occasion. Action was had, and war declared in the most solemn manner; and the same evening (April 26th) two scalps were brought into camp. The next day some canoes of Indians were discovered on the river, keeping the advantage of an island to cover themselves from our view. They were chased fifteen miles and driven ashore at Pipe Creek. A battle ensued; a few were wounded on both sides, one Indian only taken prisoner. On examining their canoes we found a considerable quantity of ammunition and other warlike stores. On our return to camp a resolution was adopted to march the next day and attack Logan's[66] camp on the Ohio, about thirty miles above us. We did march about five miles, and then halted to take some refreshments. Here the impropriety of executing the projected enterprise was argued. The conversation was brought forward by Cresap himself. It was generally agreed that those Indians had no hostile intentions, as they were hunting, and their party was composed of men, women, and children, with all their stuff with them. This we knew, as I myself and others present had been in their camp about four weeks past on our descending the river from Pittsburgh. In short, every person seemed to detest the resolution we had set out with. We returned in the evening, decamped, and took the road to Redstone."
From this account it appears that Clarke's party, well knowing that an Indian war must follow the events here narrated, abandoned the original idea of proceeding to Kentucky, and marched with Crisp’s men to his headquarters at Redstone Old Fort, on the Monongahela. They carried with them on a litter one man who had been mortally wounded in the fight with the Indians on the 27th of April. Two others had been wounded but not seriously. The party, in marching from Wheeling to Redstone, proceeded by way of Catfish Camp (now Washington borough), and in the evening of the 29th stopped there at the house of William Huston, who was then the only white resident at that place.[67]

In order for a special election on consolidation to be held, at least one third of the voters in the area affected had to sign a petition calling for one. The Hopkinton Leader gave the issue fron page coverage and indicated that it was pleased to see the movement under way and hoped that it would succeed. [76]

Jeff:
I have attached a synopsis of the activities of the 18th Va Cav that is based on Delauder's history of that regiment.
Also attached is my own account of one encounter.
Jim
Jim, thank you for taking the time to send me the information about the Godlove's in the 18th Virginia Cavalry. I especially liked your comments about Samuel Godlove at the Battle of Winchester or the Battle of Opequan , as the Union called it for some reason. I think it is important to note that there were significant battles where the Godlove's (and Goodlove's) engaged against each other, with sometimes fatal consequenses. Today, June 17 marks the anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill. On that day on the field were numerous ancestors who I doubt very much could comprehend the tragedy that would later be called the War of the Rebellion, or Civil War. I doubt if those who fought in the Civil War could comprehend what would later happen in places like Auschwitz. As we continue to dig deeper we find that even through every kind of adversity, for some reason, we survived to tell the story. Jeff Goodlove
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 Jan-Feb 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.
Godloves in Third Battle of Winchester
© James Funkhouser
On September 19, 1864, units of Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan’s Army of the Shenandoah moved west along the Berryville Pike in the initial assault of the Third Battle of Winchester. Although this battle ultimately was a Union victory, this initial thrust was met with ferocious resistance from the forces of the Confederate Army of the Valley, commanded by Lt. General Jubal Early, and the Federals were repulsed with heavy losses. Among those seriously wounded that afternoon was a 21-year-old private in the 24th Iowa Volunteer Infantry, Samuel Godlove, whose unit had been assigned to Sheridan only in August. Samuel was the son of Adam Godlove of Washington County, Iowa, formerly of Perry County, Ohio, and Hardy County, Virginia.
While the Union forces on the Berryville Pike were launching their assault and later while they were pushed back, Union troops advanced from the north and engaged Confederate cavalry near Bunker Hill in Berkeley County, twelve miles north of Winchester. Among these was the 18th Virginia Cavalry, a unit with a sizeable number of men from Hardy County. In a battle that lasted over seven hours, the badly outnumbered Confederate units were pushed back to Winchester. The 18th Cavalry suffered about 40 casualties. Among the wounded was Private Joseph Godlove, Adam’s nephew, the son of his brother Francis of Wardensville. Joseph survived his wound; his older brother Isaac, in the same company, was unhurt. Both lived into the twentieth century
On 14 October, twenty-five days after the Third Battle of Winchester, Samuel Godlove died from his wounds. He is buried in the National Cemetery in Winchester. Samuel was the last of Adam’s children to be born in Ohio, the year before his family’s move to Iowa. He died and was buried twenty-five miles from the place of his father’s birth.[1]

[19] According to the family records of this line and legal documents, concerning Hugh Stephenson’s Land Bounty Warrant of 6,666 2/3 acres, granted to him for his services in the Revolutionary War. (the land lying and being in the County of Franklin, State of Ohio); Col. Hugh Stephenson was not married to his wife until just before his youngest son was born. (Richard born about 1777). Thus, rendering the disgrace of illegitimacy on his first five children. This may have been factual where the laws of Church and State are concerned (Church of England), however, a notation should be taken. According to those laws, any couple living in Virginia, married outside the church and its order, just was not considered married. Anyone stopping short of further research of the Church of England, would believe this to be true. Since Col. William Crawford (Hugh’s half-brother) and his second wife, Hannah Vance, were married in Chambersburg, Penn., January 5th, 1744, proves that other members of the Crawford and Stephenson clans were a challenge to the Church of England. This would lead us to believe that Hugh Stephenson and Ann Whaley were married first, outside of the Colony of Virginia and the Church of England, with the first marriage being considered null and void in the territory wherein they lived.
