This Day…
January 31, 439: Promulgation of the Code of Theodosius II in the Byzantine Empire. This was the first imperial compilation of anti- Jewish laws since Constantine. Jews were prohibited from holding important positions involving money including judicial and executive offices and the ban against building new synagogues was reinstated. Theodosius was the Roman emperor of the East (408–450) The Code was readily accepted as well by Western Roman Emperor Valentinian III (425-455).[1]
451 A.D. The Council of Chalcedon in 451 was repudiated by the far larger congreagations of Monophysites in Egyupyt and in Syria.[2]
455 A.D. Attila the Huns reign of terror in the Baltic has just ended. The mysterious drawings are etched into the arid Peruvian landscape.[3]
Tiqhernac further states that Fergus the Second, son of Erc, held a part of Britain with the Dalriadic Kingdom and died A.D. 502; that Lochene, the son of Fingen, King of the Cruithne, or Picts, died A.D. 645; that Fearchar Fada died A.D. 697 (?); that there was a slaughter the Picts and Saxons when Findgaine, son of Deleroitb, was killed A.D. 711; that Ainbceallach, son of Fearchar Fada, was slain by his brother A.D. 719; that Finguine, sone of Drostan, and Ferot, son of Finguine, officers of King Nechtan, were slain in battle A.D. 729;[4]
In 476, Odoacer the Scirian, the commander and elected king of the German troops in the former Roman Empire, deposed Romulus Augustus, ending nearly one thousand years of Roman dominance in the Mediterranean. The defeat caused difficult times for gentile and Jew alike, sending many people north into Europe to seek a safer, more stable life.[5]
476 A.D.
After the Roman Empire collapsed in 476, causing the withdrawal of the Roman military from Britain, the gospel was spread though the efforts of Celtic missionaries sent out from the theological school founded by Columba on the little island of Iona near the coast of Scotland. [6] The fall of the Roman Empire in 476 sent Europe plunging into the darkness of the Middle Ages, a darkness made all the deeper by the absence of a Bible that was understandable to the masses. Latin eventually became a deead language to the common layman, the result being that the Bible became a closed book. Few laymken knew enough Latin to understand the verses the priests would read at Mass. Many of the priests knew just enough Latin to mumble through their liturgies.
The Bible remained a venerated book but a closed book, and would remain so for centuries to com.[7]
Great cities fell into ruins, roads became overgrown with weeds, trake collapsed, and the wide spread rule of Roman law ended. For almost a millennium the people of Europe huddled together for protection in small towns and villages in the countryside. Most barely eked out an existence from the soil, as war, disease, and famine routinely spread over the land.[8]
Abt 500
The Christian religion was introduced in Scotland about 500 A.D. and new troubles were experienced by the converts.[9]
By the 6th century, Jews have become a minority in their own land.[10]
A sixth-century mosaic map of Jerusalem and the Judean hills.[11]
January 31, 1253: Henry III of England ordered that Jewish worship in Synagogues must be held quietly so that Christians should not have to hear it when passing by. In addition Jews were not to employ Christian nurses or maids, nor was any Jew allowed to prevent another Jew from converting to Christianity.[12]
1254
(Eleanor of Castile), daughter of Ferdinand III, king of Castile and Len. In 1254 she married Prince Edward, later Edward I of England, the eldest son of King Henry III.[13]
1261: In a court case in Barkshire in southern England in 1261 a man by the name of Robert, son of William LeFevre was an outlaw and was brought before the court and the clerk of the court changed his name to Robert the Hood.[14]
1263
Opposite Kyle of Lochalsh and the Skye Bridge, Caisteal Maol sits on a small island just to the east of Kyleakin. The name of the village comes from 'kyle' - the narrow strait of water between Skye and the mainland - and 'akin' after the Norwegian King Haakon IV who sailed through here in 1263 on his way to defeat at the Battle of Largs which ultimately decided the ownership of the Hebrides. [15]
1264
King Boleslav V, the Chaste, granted the Jews liberal charters of self-government (1264). The Jews were helping him to build cities and to found industry and commerce, enabling him to compete economically with the West. Like the nobels, the Jews owned land and large estates. They lived in city and village. Casimir III, the Great, the Charlemagne of Poland, founded universities, encouraged trade, and imported even more Jews to accelerate the hum of commerce and industry. Vivovt, Grand Duke of Lithuania, opened that country for Jewish settlement.[16]
1266
During the government of the Lords of the Isles, which commenced on the abandonment of their conquests by the Norwegians to the King of Scotland, A.D. 1266 and terminated at the forfeiture of the last lord, A.D. 1493 (temp. James III.), but little can be gathered concerning the deeds of the clan, as, in consequence of their connection with the MacDonalds, many a bold enterprise was doubtless attributed to that powerful tribe which held sway over the lesser tribes, and which would naturally include their actions amongst their own.[17]
January 31, 1419: Pope Martin V issued a Bull that abolished the oppressive laws promulgated by antipope Benedict XIII and granted the Jews those privileges which had been accorded them under previous popes.[18]
A variation on the "Church versus Synagogue" theme: the Church is a knight riding a horse, threatening the Synagogue, a Jew riding a pig, with his sword.

1420
With the death of Vivelin/Gutleben the history of our Swiss-Upper Rhine physician family is not yet at its end, however. Let us turn next to the physician Peter Gutleben, who practiced in the first half of the 15th century for several decades in Colmar. As the first name Peter already dindicates, this Gutleben was not a Jew, but a Christian. The last name and place of his activity indicate that we are dealing in all likelihood with Master Gutleben’s son Isaak, with whom the former had acquired the right to citizenship in Freiburg in Breisgau in 1373. Thus Isaak may have converted to Christianity in the last quarter of the 14th century at a date not exactly known to us a step which also the descendants of the Basel Jew Mathis of Colmar, who had been in personal contact with Gutleben, perhaps took, contrary to Ginsburger’s doubts. In a Basel document, in the year 1420, we encounter this Peter Gutleben as the husband of a certain Grete Pfetterhusen, a fact from which one must again conclude that Peter Gutleben was a Christian. However, in addition to that, he is given the identification of “from Friburg,” although he lived in Colmar at that time. Likely this classification comes from the time that Peter Gutleben, alias Isaak, spent in Freiburg. It is also possible that Isaak was baptized in Freiburg, as for example the infamous convert Hans from Strassburg who received baptism in that city in the 15th century, but in no way could have been a Jew from Strassburg.[20]
1421-1422
Jews expelled from Austria resettled in Ternopol, Czech[21] in 1421[22].
1421: China.
Elsewhere, it’s the rise of the Aztec empire in Central America. Joan of Arce will lead the French in the Hundred Years War. In China it’s the Ming Dynasty. Under Emperor Ju di, Admiral Zheng He is in command of what will become the largest maritime fleet in the world. “We have traversed more than one-hundred thousand li of immense water spaces…” “We have set eyes on barbarian regions far away.” Zheng he
One hundred thousand Li is about 30,000 miles, roughly the distance from the port in Non Jing, to the Americas, and back. [23]
A map was produced from the voyages of Zheng he the showed the whole world accurately. The person that made this map in 1763 wrote on the map that he had copied it from one drawn earlier in 1418. At that time records showed that Zheng He’s fleet was already traveling as far as Africa. If authentic this would be the first map of the world. It could only have been made if someone traveled along the American coastline.[24]
January 31, 1493: Jews fleeing Spain were no longer allowed to enter to enter Genoa. During the previous year Jews fleeing Spain were allowed to land in Genoa for three days. As of this date the special consideration was cancelled due to the “fear” that the Jews may introduce the Plague.[25]
1494 Jews expelled from Silesia, most going to Poland.[26]
January 31, 1773
31. Preached at Laury Irwin’s-the week past Mr. F. came to see me.
Saw a large Indian fortification at Stewart’s Crossings. Saw an Indian, Joseph Wapee, who informed me, that the forts in the Ohio country were places of retreat and defence, made by the ancient inhabitants, against the Catawbas. This probably he received by tradition from his ancestors. Visited the settlement until February 4. [27]
On January 31st, 1780, a heavy fog arose, forcing the admiral to put to sea again because a storm might develop. [28]

January 31, 1872: Zane Grey, author of Riders of the Purple Sage, is born in Zanesville, Ohio.
The son of a successful dentist, Grey enjoyed a happy and solid upper-middle-class childhood, marred only by occasional fistfights with boys who teased him about his unusual first name, Pearl. (Grey later replaced it with his mother's maiden name, Zane.) A talented baseball player as teen, Grey caught the eye of a scout for the University of Pennsylvania college team, who convinced him to study there. In 1886, he graduated with a degree in dentistry and moved to New York to begin his practice.
Grey's interest in dentistry was half-hearted at best, and he did not relish the idea of replicating his father's safe but unexciting career path. Searching for an alternative, Grey decided to try his hand at writing; his first attempt was an uninspiring historical novel about a family ancestress. At that point, Grey might well have been doomed to a life of dentistry, had he not met Colonel C. J. "Buffalo" Jones in 1908, who convinced Grey to write Jones' biography. More importantly, Jones took him out West to gather material for the book, and Grey became deeply fascinated with the people and landscape of the region.
Grey's biography of Jones debuted in 1908 as The Last of the Plainsmen to little attention, but he was inspired to concentrate his efforts on writing historical romances of the West. In 1912, he published the novel that earned him lasting fame, Riders of the Purple Sage. Like the equally popular Owen Wister novel, The Virginian (1902), the basic theme of Riders revolves around the transformation of a weak and effeminate easterner into a man of character and strength through his exposure to the culture and land of the American West. Grey's protagonist, the Ohio-born Bern Venters, spends several weeks being tested by the rugged canyon country of southern Utah before finding his way back to civilization. Venters, Grey writes, "had gone away a boy-he had returned a man."
Though Riders of the Purple Sage was Grey's most popular novel, he wrote 78 other books during his prolific career, most of them Westerns. He died in 1939, but Grey's work continued to be extraordinarily popular for decades to come, and by 1955, his books had sold more than 31 millions copies around the world. With the possible exception of Riders, today Grey's books are little read, and most modern readers find them insufferably pompous, moralizing, and sentimental. Nonetheless, Grey played a pivotal role in creating the Western genre that, in the hands of more recent authors like Louis L'Amour, continues to charm many dedicated fans.[30]

1872
Taken sixty five years ago, the above picture shows what was probably the first reunion of the early settlers of Linn county held at Mt. Vernon. Included in the picture are many of the pioneers whose names stand out baravely in the history of a century of growth in Linn county. This reunion was long before the Linn County Old Settlers association was formed. The picture is the property of Mrs. Mary English, whose father, Richard Thjomas, was one those included in the picture. It won first prize in the Old Pictures Contest conducted the Sentinel this spring.[33]
1872: Cynthiana, Kentucky: The first city public school was in the old Harrison Academy building on South Church Street. The trustees of the Academy gave gave their part of the building to the City. The second floor of the building was owned by the Masonic Lodge, they sold their part of the building to the City for $2,000.00.[34]
January 31, 1934
Congress passes the Farm Mortgage Refinancing Act, providing easier credit terms to farmers.[35]
January 31, 1938: The Palestine Post reported that Romania officially denounced the Minorities Treaty intowhich it had entered upon gaining independence at the Peace Conference at Versailles, and claimed that the Jewish question was now "a purely internal matter" over which the League of Nations had no more jurisdiction. This meant that Romania now felt free to implement still more severe anti-Semitic discriminatory measures.[36]
January 31, 1938: The Palestine Post reported on the rise of anti-Jewish feelings and vandalism in Yugoslavia including the fact that "local Nazis" had smashed the windows out of the Sephardic synagogue of Belgrade.[37]
January 31, 1941: Three thousand Jews were taken from their villages and moved into the Warsaw Ghetto. Another 70,000 Jews would be uprooted and moved into the Warsaw Ghetto by the end of March.[38]
January 31, 1942: Einsatzgruppe A commanding officer, Franz W. Stahlecker, sent a detailed report about activities in the Baltic and White Russian countries. It stated that between July 23 and October 15, 1941, 135,567 Jews were killed. Eichmann sent out a letter making official the conclusions of the Wannsee Conference, "The evacuation of the Jews . . . is the beginning of the final solution of the Jewish problem."[39]

January 31, 1943
German General Paulus surrenders his army to the Soviets in Stalingrad.[42]
January 31, 1950: U.S. President Harry S. Truman publicly announces his decision to support the development of the hydrogen bomb, a weapon theorized to be hundreds of times more powerful than the atomic bombs dropped on Japan during World War II.
Five months earlier, the United States had lost its nuclear supremacy when the Soviet Union successfully detonated an atomic bomb at their test site in Kazakhstan. Then, several weeks after that, British and U.S. intelligence came to the staggering conclusion that German-born Klaus Fuchs, a top-ranking scientist in the U.S. nuclear program, was a spy for the Soviet Union. These two events, and the fact that the Soviets now knew everything that the Americans did about how to build a hydrogen bomb, led Truman to approve massive funding for the superpower race to complete the world's first "superbomb," as he described it in his public announcement on January 31.
On November 1, 1952, the United States successfully detonated "Mike," the world's first hydrogen bomb, on the Elugelab Atoll in the Pacific Marshall Islands. The 10.4-megaton thermonuclear device, built upon the Teller-Ulam principles of staged radiation implosion, instantly vaporized an entire island and left behind a crater more than a mile wide. The incredible explosive force of Mike was also apparent from the sheer magnitude of its mushroom cloud--within 90 seconds the mushroom cloud climbed to 57,000 feet and entered the stratosphere. One minute later, it reached 108,000 feet, eventually stabilizing at a ceiling of 120,000 feet. Half an hour after the test, the mushroom stretched 60 miles across, with the base of the head joining the stem at 45,000 feet.
Three years later, on November 22, 1955, the Soviet Union detonated its first hydrogen bomb on the same principle of radiation implosion. Both superpowers were now in possession of the "hell bomb," as it was known by many Americans, and the world lived under the threat of thermonuclear war for the first time in history.[43]
January 31, 1984 the Grand Lodge of Utah repealed its long standing anti-Mormon resolution.[44]

Hi Jeff, I was searching on-line for some information regarding my Armstrongs in the American Revolution. I came by chance on this document from 1889. I only skimmed portions, but thought page 16 was an interesting comment on the Hessians who deserted in America.

As ever, Linda
Linda, this is very interesting. Thank you for sending it to me. It is a different point of view on the "Hessians". Jeff

January 30, 1349: The Jews of Freilsburg, Germany were massacred.[1]
January 30, 1648: Spain and the United Netherlands sign The Treaty of Münster and Osnabrück marking the end of the eighty year long Dutch revolt against Spanish rule. The treaty guarantees the independence of the Protestant Netherlands from the rule of Catholic Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. It means that the Jewish community in the Netherlands, which includes many Sephardic refugees and Marranos, will be able to grow and flourish.[2]
1649 Jews expelled from Ukraine.[3] In the mid 17th century, the Cossacks of the Ukraine and the local Polish peasantry revolted against the feudal conditions imposed by the Polish overlords. Unfortunately, Jews bore the brunt of their murderous fury. Hundreds of thousands were massacred. Church persecution and local enmity were a constant threat. Many Jews moved west, renewing former settlements in Germany and France.[4]
January 30, 1649: In London, King Charles I is beheaded for treason on January 30, 1649.
Charles ascended to the English throne in 1625 following the death of his father, King James I. In the first year of his reign, Charles offended his Protestant subjects by marrying Henrietta Maria, a Catholic French princess. He later responded to political opposition to his rule by dissolving Parliament on several occasions and in 1629 decided to rule entirely without Parliament. In 1642, the bitter struggle between king and Parliament for supremacy led to the outbreak of the first English civil war.
The Parliamentarians were led by Oliver Cromwell, whose formidable Ironsides force won an important victory against the king's Royalist forces at Marston Moor in 1644 and at Naseby in 1645. As a leader of the New Model Army in the second English civil war, Cromwell helped repel the Royalist invasion of Scotland, and in 1646 Charles surrendered to a Scottish army. In 1648, Charles was forced to appear before a high court controlled by his enemies, where he was convicted of treason and sentenced to death. Early in the next year, he was beheaded.
The monarchy was abolished, and Cromwell assumed control of the new English Commonwealth. In 1658, Cromwell died and was succeeded by his eldest son, Richard, who was forced to flee to France in the next year with the restoration of the monarchy and the crowning of Charles II, the son of Charles I. Oliver Cromwell was posthumously convicted of treason, and his body was disinterred from its tomb in Westminster Abbey and hanged from the gallows at Tyburn.[5]
In 1650, Lauchlan Mackinnon raised a regiment of his clan for the services of Charles II.[6]
1650: Methodically, mercilessly, the loose coalition of New York tribes had not only defeated many surrounding tribes and subjected their people to the most diabolical tortures; they also deliberately exterminated some, such as the Erie tribe in 1648 and the Neutrals during the following year. Other tribes were simply defeated and driven out, including the heretofore powerful Huron’s. That tribe, longtime inhabitants of the Niagara area and greatly revered by the other tribes, under the duress imposed upon them by the Five Nations, (Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida and Mohawk) meekly migrated to the Michigan country in 1650. Soon afterward those same Huron’s divided themselves to form yet another tribe, the Wyandot. The parent Huron’s remained in Michigan, but the newly formed Wyandot planted fresh roots in the soil of the Ohio country just south of Lake Erie.[7]

The Governor of New France, the Marquis Duquesne writes a letter to the commander of the French Fort Le Boeuf, thanking him for the receipt of Dinwiddie's summons for the French to leave the Ohio country. "...to inform me about the deputation from the Governor of Virginia, as well as for the care you took to send me the letter which he wrote to you. His claims on the Belle Riviere are sheer imagination, for it belongs to us incontestably. Moreover the King wishes it, and that is enough for us to go forward..." [11]

That the Hessian Paymaster, now at Lancaster in Pennsylvania, sent from the Enemy with Money and Cloathes for the Hessian Prisoners of War, be permitted, after having executed his ordered to the Business at that place, to pass to Dumfries in Virginia, and return to the Enemy under the Conduct of an Officer in the Service of these States, who is to take especial care that his stay be no longer than absolutely necessary, and that he gain or communicate no political Intelligence.2[14]
On January 30th, 1780 we sailed again. We were at latitude 31° 49’ north, and the course was N by W. Toward two o’clock we sounded eleven fathoms of water, and at six o’clock in the evening the small anchor was cast at nine fathoms. [15]
January 30, 1781: On this day in 1781, Maryland becomes the 13th and final state to ratify the Articles of Confederation, almost three years after the official deadline given by Congress of March 10, 1778.
The Continental Congress drafted the Article of Confederation in a disjointed process that began in 1776. The same issues that would later dog the Constitutional Convention of 1787 befuddled the Congress during the drafting. Large states wanted votes to be proportional according to population, while small states wanted to continue with the status quo of one vote per state. Northern states wished to count the southern states' slave population when determining the ratio for how much funding each state would provide for Congressional activities, foremost the war. States without western land claims wanted those with claims to yield them to Congress.
In November 1777, Congress put the Articles before the states for ratification. As written, the Articles made the firm promise that "Each state retains its sovereignty." Western claims remained in the hands of the individual states and states' support to Congress was determined based only on their free population. Each state carried only one vote.
Virginia was the only state to ratify the Articles by the 1778 deadline. Most states wished to place conditions on ratification, which Congress refused to accept. Ten further states ratified during the summer of 1778, but small states with big neighbors and no land claims--Delaware, New Jersey and Maryland--still refused. Maryland held out the longest, only ratifying the Articles after Virginia relinquished its claims on land north of the Ohio River to Congress. The Articles finally took effect on March 1, 1781.
The problematic Articles of Confederation remained the law of the land for only eight years before the Constitutional Convention rejected them in favor of a new, more centralized form of federal government. They crafted the current U.S. Constitution, which took effect in 1789, giving the federal government greater authority over the states and creating a bicameral legislature.[16]
“FORT PITT, January 30, 1782.
“Orders. Captain Clark, commanding. At a garrison court-martial whereof Captain Springer was president, Richard Richards, a matross in Captain craig’s company of artillery, was tried for being out of the garrison after tattoo beating and abusing an inhabitant of the town of Pittsburgh;..no positive evidence appearing against him in support of the latter part of the charge, the court acquit [him) of it, but find him guilty of being out of the garrison after tattoo beating and sentence him to receive fifty lashes on his bare back by the drummer of the garrison. The commandant approves the sentence; and it [the punishment) is to take place this evening at retreat.[17]
January 30, 1835
The first assassination attempt on a president occurs when Richard Lawrence fires two shoots at ancestor (second cousin, 8 times removed) and President Andrew Jackson, who is unhurt.[18] On January 30, 1835, the first attempt to kill a sitting President of the United States occurred just outside the United States Capitol Building. When Jackson was leaving the Capitol Building out of the East Portico after the funeral of South Carolina Representative Warren R. Davis, Richard Lawrence, an unemployed and deranged house-painter from England, either burst from a crowd or stepped out from hiding behind a column and aimed a pistol at Jackson which misfired. Lawrence then pulled out a second pistol which also misfired. It has since been postulated that the moisture from the humid weather of the day contributed to the double misfiring. [43] Lawrence was then restrained, with legend saying that Jackson attacked Lawrence with his cane, prompting his aides to restrain him. Others present, including David Crockett, restrained and disarmed Lawrence.
Richard Lawrence gave the doctors several reasons for the shooting. He had recently lost his job painting houses and somehow blamed Jackson. He claimed that with the President dead, "money would be more plenty"—a reference to Jackson’s struggle with the Bank of the United States—and that he "could not rise until the President fell." Finally, he informed his interrogators that he was actually a deposed English King—Richard III, specifically, dead since 1485—and that Jackson was merely his clerk. He was deemed insane, institutionalized, and never punished for his assassination attempt.[19] Lawrence was most likely a mentally unstable individual with no connections to Jackson's political rivals, but Jackson was convinced that Lawrence had been hired by his Whig Party opponents to assassinate him. At the time, Jackson's Democrats and the Whigs were locked in battle over Jackson's attempt to dismantle the Bank of the United States. His vice president, Martin Van Buren, was also wary and thereafter carried two loaded pistols with him when visiting the Senate.
Jackson's suspicions were never proven and Lawrence spent the rest of his life in a mental institution. A century later, Smithsonian Institute researchers conducted a study of Lawrence's derringers, during which both guns discharged properly on the test's first try. It was later determined that the odds of both guns misfiring during the assassination attempt were one in 125,000. [20]

January 30, 1920
January 30, 1933
Adolf Hitler assumes office as Chancellor of Germany at the invitation of President Von Hindenburg. Hitler is appointed chancellor of Germany after a Reichstag election in which the Nazis receive approximately 33 percent of the vote.[1][22][2][23]
President Paul von Hindenburg names Adolf Hitler, leader or fÜhrer of the National Socialist German Workers Party (or Nazi Party), as chancellor of Germany.
The year 1932 had seen Hitler's meteoric rise to prominence in Germany, spurred largely by the German people's frustration with dismal economic conditions and the still-festering wounds inflicted by defeat in the Great War and the harsh peace terms of the Versailles treaty. A charismatic speaker, Hitler channeled popular discontent with the post-war Weimar government into support for his fledgling Nazi party. In an election held in July 1932, the Nazis won 230 governmental seats; together with the Communists, the next largest party, they made up over half of the Reichstag.
Hindenburg, intimidated by Hitler's growing popularity and the thuggish nature of his cadre of supporters, the SA (or Brownshirts), initially refused to make him chancellor. Instead, he appointed General Kurt von Schleicher, who attempted to steal Hitler's thunder by negotiating with a dissident Nazi faction led by Gregor Strasser. At the next round of elections in November, the Nazis lost ground—but the Communists gained it, a paradoxical effect of Schleicher's efforts that made right-wing forces in Germany even more determined to get Hitler into power. In a series of complicated negotiations, ex-Chancellor Franz von Papen, backed by prominent German businessmen and the conservative German National People's Party (DNVP), convinced Hindenburg to appoint Hitler as chancellor, with the understanding that von Papen as vice-chancellor and other non-Nazis in key government positions would contain and temper Hitler's more brutal tendencies.
Hitler's emergence as chancellor on January 30, 1933, marked a crucial turning point for Germany and, ultimately, for the world. His plan, embraced by much of the German population, was to do away with politics and make Germany a powerful, unified one-party state. He began immediately, ordering a rapid expansion of the state police, the Gestapo, and putting Hermann Goering in charge of a new security force, composed entirely of Nazis and dedicated to stamping out whatever opposition to his party might arise. From that moment on, Nazi Germany was off and running, and there was little Hindenburg or von Papen—or anyone—could do to stop it.[24]
January 30, 1939: Hitler, in his anniversary speech in Berlin, talked about the event of war, "The result will not be the Bolshevization of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe." Hitler also spoke in warm terms about its friendship with Poland.[25]
•
January 30, 1942: In a speech at the Sports Palace in Berlin, Hitler told of his confidence in victory and his hatred for the Jews. "The hour will come when the most evil universal enemy of all time will be finished, at least for a thousand years." By the spring, four labor camps would be converted to death camps for the purpose of extinguishing the Jews; joining Chelmno were Belzec, Treblinka, Sobibor, and Auschwitz.[26]

January 30, 1943 (24th of Shevat, 5703): In Letychiv, Ukraine, German Gestapo commences mass shootings of Jews from Letychiv Ghetto. 200 surviving Jews from Letychiv slave labor camp were ordered to undress and were shot with machine-gun into a ravine. Some 7,000 Jews were murdered in Letychiv.[29]
January 30, 1944: 1944: Seven hundred Jews are deported from Milan, Italy, to Auschwitz.[30]
January 30, 1945: Hitler gives his last ever public address; a radio address on the 12th anniversary of his coming to power.[31]
January 30, 1948: Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated by a Hindu extremist. While Gandhi was a figure revered by many, some Jews have their reservations about this proponent of civil disobedience and non-violence no matter what the threat. After Kristallnacht Gandhi wrote, "If the Jewish mind could be prepared for voluntary sacrifice, even the massacre I have imagined by Nazis could be turned into a day of thanksgiving that Jehovah had wrought deliverance of the race even at the hands of a tyrant...the German Jews will score a lasting victory over the German gentiles in the sense that they will have converted the latter to an appreciation of human dignity." Apparently Ghandi lacked any concept of the evil that was Hitler. But even after the war when the total horror was known, Gandhi said that the Holocaust was "the greatest crime of our time, but the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from the cliffs....It would have aroused the world and the people of Germany."[32]

January 30, 1349: The Jews of Freilsburg, Germany were massacred.[1]
January 30, 1648: Spain and the United Netherlands sign The Treaty of Münster and Osnabrück marking the end of the eighty year long Dutch revolt against Spanish rule. The treaty guarantees the independence of the Protestant Netherlands from the rule of Catholic Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. It means that the Jewish community in the Netherlands, which includes many Sephardic refugees and Marranos, will be able to grow and flourish.[2]
1649 Jews expelled from Ukraine.[3] In the mid 17th century, the Cossacks of the Ukraine and the local Polish peasantry revolted against the feudal conditions imposed by the Polish overlords. Unfortunately, Jews bore the brunt of their murderous fury. Hundreds of thousands were massacred. Church persecution and local enmity were a constant threat. Many Jews moved west, renewing former settlements in Germany and France.[4]
January 30, 1649: In London, King Charles I is beheaded for treason on January 30, 1649.
Charles ascended to the English throne in 1625 following the death of his father, King James I. In the first year of his reign, Charles offended his Protestant subjects by marrying Henrietta Maria, a Catholic French princess. He later responded to political opposition to his rule by dissolving Parliament on several occasions and in 1629 decided to rule entirely without Parliament. In 1642, the bitter struggle between king and Parliament for supremacy led to the outbreak of the first English civil war.
The Parliamentarians were led by Oliver Cromwell, whose formidable Ironsides force won an important victory against the king's Royalist forces at Marston Moor in 1644 and at Naseby in 1645. As a leader of the New Model Army in the second English civil war, Cromwell helped repel the Royalist invasion of Scotland, and in 1646 Charles surrendered to a Scottish army. In 1648, Charles was forced to appear before a high court controlled by his enemies, where he was convicted of treason and sentenced to death. Early in the next year, he was beheaded.
The monarchy was abolished, and Cromwell assumed control of the new English Commonwealth. In 1658, Cromwell died and was succeeded by his eldest son, Richard, who was forced to flee to France in the next year with the restoration of the monarchy and the crowning of Charles II, the son of Charles I. Oliver Cromwell was posthumously convicted of treason, and his body was disinterred from its tomb in Westminster Abbey and hanged from the gallows at Tyburn.[5]
In 1650, Lauchlan Mackinnon raised a regiment of his clan for the services of Charles II.[6]
1650: Methodically, mercilessly, the loose coalition of New York tribes had not only defeated many surrounding tribes and subjected their people to the most diabolical tortures; they also deliberately exterminated some, such as the Erie tribe in 1648 and the Neutrals during the following year. Other tribes were simply defeated and driven out, including the heretofore powerful Huron’s. That tribe, longtime inhabitants of the Niagara area and greatly revered by the other tribes, under the duress imposed upon them by the Five Nations, (Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida and Mohawk) meekly migrated to the Michigan country in 1650. Soon afterward those same Huron’s divided themselves to form yet another tribe, the Wyandot. The parent Huron’s remained in Michigan, but the newly formed Wyandot planted fresh roots in the soil of the Ohio country just south of Lake Erie.[7]
January 30, 1667: The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth ceded Kiev, Smolensk, and left-bank Ukraine to the Tsardom of Russia in the Treaty of Andrusovo. According “to the treaty...arranged with John the Jews, who then lived in the towns and districts that became Russian territory, were permitted to remain "on the side of the Russian czar," under Russian rule, if they did not choose to remain under Polish rule. Jewish wives of Greek Orthodox Russians were permitted to remain with their husbands without being forced to change their religion.[8]

From that moment on, Nazi Germany was off and running, and there was little Hindenburg or von Papen—or anyone—could do to stop it.[24]
January 30, 1939: Hitler, in his anniversary speech in Berlin, talked about the event of war, "The result will not be the Bolshevization of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe." Hitler also spoke in warm terms about its friendship with Poland.[25]
•
January 30, 1942: In a speech at the Sports Palace in Berlin, Hitler told of his confidence in victory and his hatred for the Jews. "The hour will come when the most evil universal enemy of all time will be finished, at least for a thousand years." By the spring, four labor camps would be converted to death camps for the purpose of extinguishing the Jews; joining Chelmno were Belzec, Treblinka, Sobibor, and Auschwitz.[26]

January 30, 1943 (24th of Shevat, 5703): In Letychiv, Ukraine, German Gestapo commences mass shootings of Jews from Letychiv Ghetto. 200 surviving Jews from Letychiv slave labor camp were ordered to undress and were shot with machine-gun into a ravine. Some 7,000 Jews were murdered in Letychiv.[29]
January 30, 1944: 1944: Seven hundred Jews are deported from Milan, Italy, to Auschwitz.[30]
January 30, 1945: Hitler gives his last ever public address; a radio address on the 12th anniversary of his coming to power.[31]
January 30, 1948: Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated by a Hindu extremist. While Gandhi was a figure revered by many, some Jews have their reservations about this proponent of civil disobedience and non-violence no matter what the threat. After Kristallnacht Gandhi wrote, "If the Jewish mind could be prepared for voluntary sacrifice, even the massacre I have imagined by Nazis could be turned into a day of thanksgiving that Jehovah had wrought deliverance of the race even at the hands of a tyrant...the German Jews will score a lasting victory over the German gentiles in the sense that they will have converted the latter to an appreciation of human dignity." Apparently Ghandi lacked any concept of the evil that was Hitler. But even after the war when the total horror was known, Gandhi said that the Holocaust was "the greatest crime of our time, but the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from the cliffs....It would have aroused the world and the people of Germany."[32]

This Day…
January 29, 1421(17th of Shevat, 5181): The Jews of Sargossa, Spain were spared from slaughter at the hands of King Alfonso V , thanks to the fact that a handful of synagogues beadles had acted on the advice given to them by the Prophet Elijah in a dream shared by each of them. The resulting salvation on the 17th of Shevat was celebrated by Saragossan Jews, and dubbed "Purim Saragossa." A Hebrew Megillah (scroll) was penned, describing the details of the miraculous story. To this day, this scroll is read in certain communities on Purim Saragossa.[1]
1421-1422
Jews expelled from Austria resettled in Ternopol, Czech[2] in 1421[3].
1421: China.
Elsewhere, it’s the rise of the Aztec empire in Central America. Joan of Arce will lead the French in the Hundred Years War. In China it’s the Ming Dynasty. Under Emperor Ju di, Admiral Zheng He is in command of what will become the largest maritime fleet in the world. “We have traversed more than one-hundred thousand li of immense water spaces…” “We have set eyes on barbarian regions far away.” Zheng he
One hundred thousand Li is about 30,000 miles, roughly the distance from the port in Non Jing, to the Americas, and back. [4]
A map was produced from the voyages of Zheng he the showed the whole world accurately. The person that made this map in 1763 wrote on the map that he had copied it from one drawn earlier in 1418. At that time records showed that Zheng He’s fleet was already traveling as far as Africa. If authentic this would be the first map of the world. It could only have been made if someone traveled along the American coastline.[5]
January 29, 1482: Pope Sixtus V addresses a “severe letter” to Ferdinand and Isabella censuring the conduct of the Inquisition. “In this letter the pope admitted that he had issued the bull for the institution of the Inquisition without due consideration.”[6]
The Spanish Inquisition began to operate in 1483, and during the succeding decade and using torture to conduct its investigations, convicted hundreds of New Christians of heresy and delivered them to the civil autorities for execution by burning. Many more were obliged to recant their heresies in humiliating public spectacles and to forfeit their property.[7]
January 29, 1676(OS): Tsar Alexis I of Russia passed away. “During his reign a considerable number of Jews lived in Moscow and the interior of Russia. In a work of travels, written at that time, but published later, and bearing the title, Reise nach dem Norden the author states that, owing to the influence of a certain Stephan von Gaden, the czar's Jewish physician, the number of Jews considerably increased in Moscow. The same information is contained in the work, The Present State of Russia by Samuel Collins, who was also a physician at the court of the czar. From the edicts issued by Alexis Mikhailovich, it appears that the czar often granted the Jews passports with red seals (gosudarevy zhalovannyya gramoty), without which no foreigners could be admitted to the interior; and that they traveled without restriction to Moscow, dealing in cloth and jewelry, and even received from his court commissions to procure various articles of merchandise. Thus, in 1672, the Jewish merchants Samuel Jakovlev and his companions were commissioned at Moscow to go abroad and buy Hungarian wine.” Another edict “instructed a party of Lithuanian Jews to proceed from Kaluga to Nijni-Novgorod, and as a protection they received an escort of twenty sharpshooters.” The Czar’s attitude towards the Jews was a mixed bag as can be seen from his expulsion of “the Jews from the newly acquired Lithuanian and Polish cities” – Mohilev, Wilna, and Kiev. Altogether, taking into consideration the hatred of foreigners among the Russian population of his time, it is evident that Alexis was kindly disposed toward the Jews.”[8]
January 29, 1773
While the Provincial Council on January 13, 1773, laid the matter on the table for the time being Governor Richard Penn, on January twenty-ninth sent this message to them affecting the settlements west of the mountains: “Gentlemen: I think it encumbent upon me to inform you, that the late evacuation of Fort Pitt, by order of the Commander-inChief (Gage), hath greatly alarmed the inhabitants of this province, settled beyond the Allegheny Mountains, who have been used to look upon that fortress as their safeguard against the incursions of the Indians. I have received from that quarter several petitions, which I have ordered the secretary to lay before you, expressing their apprehension of the dangerous situation to wich they are reduced, and prayikng form government a suitable relief. Upon receipt of these petitions I wrote to General Gage by express, requesting the continuance of a small garrison at that post, at least till the meeting of the Assembly. But too far advanced to be countermanded; nor did he seem to think it expedient for him to have continued abny of the troops there, had my letter been received in time.
“It cannot be doubted that the late military establishment at Fort Pitt did very greatly contribute to the rapid population of the country beyond the mountains; and that the withdrawing the King’s troops must of course not only depress the spirits of the present settlers, but retard the progress of the settlement. I persuade myself that you will view the safety and protection of that extensive and flourishing district as an object of great importance, and worthy of the public attention. And as it appears to me that the most proper, and indeed only assistance, which can be afforded these people, is the supporting a small garrison at the post, I find myself under the necessity of applying to you to enable me to carry that measure into execution.”[9]
January 29, 1777: Facing a surprise British counterassault in the bitter cold and with a snowstorm approaching, American commander Major General William Heath and his army of 6,000 abandon their siege on Fort Independence, in Bronx County, New York, on this day in 1777.
Acting on orders from General George Washington, General Heath and his men had begun their assault on Fort Independence 11 days earlier on January 18, 1777. General Washington, who was under British attack in nearby New Jersey, believed that a successful assault on Fort Independence would force the British to divert troops from New Jersey to defend the outpost, located just outside British-controlled Manhattan between the Post Roads to Boston and Albany.
On January 25, a torrential rainstorm overflowed the Bronx River and muddied the battlefield, making troop movement nearly impossible for the Patriots. A British counterassault and the pending snowstorm forced General Heath to admit defeat, and he ordered his troops to retreat on January 29, 1777.
Fort Independence was first built by the Patriots in 1776 and then burned by them as they retreated from New York City. The British partially rebuilt the fort when they took control later in the year. The fort endured the Patriots' attack in 1777, but was destroyed again as the British left in 1779 . The city park that now exists on the site memorializes the fort on its front gates, as well as in its name.
Also on this day in 1777, Washington placed Major General Israel Putnam in command of all Patriot troops in New York, charging them with defense of the city and its water routes.[10]
January 29, 1779
The British under Lieutenant Colonel Archibald Campbell capture August, Georgia.
January 29, 1780: On the morning of January 29th we had ten fathoms of water; the air was clear, and we were at latitude 32° 29’ north. At two o’clock in the afternoon a sailor cried out from the mast, “Land!” I do not believe that the Ten Thousand Greeks, when they beheld the Black Sea after their difficult retreat through Asia, could have been more joyful over the sight of the sea than we were over the word “Land!” Every face brightened. Toward three o’clock the fleet heaved to in order to assemble. Today we saw wild ducks and sea gulls in great numbers, which looked as welcome to us in the air as when we saw them fried in a pan at other times. [11]
January 29, 1784
Harrison, Benj. & Lawrence: 1097 1/4 acres, Book 3, page
171. Date 1-29-1784. no watercourse nearby.[12]
Adams County, Ohio was known as the mouth of Brush Creek, where it flow into the Ohio; with its head waters forming as far north as Highland County Ohio. Where Brush Creek meets the Ohio River, a level stretch of land spreads out at the froot of Iron Ridge; which is a noted historical spot in this area. Here in this place, a survey to Churchill Jones, No. 2311, perhaps a thousand acres, part of the former survey of 4,000 acresw warranted to Chruchill Jones, who served as a Captain on the Virginia Cont. Line Establishment. It is doubtful that his whole 4,000 acres were situated at this Brush Creek, although 1,000 acres of the survey was sold to Noble Grives, uncle of Effie (Grimes) Crawford, wife of Lt. John Crawford. The former survey was dated January 29, 1784, while the 1,000 acres purchased by Noble Grives was dated in Oct. 1799, on No. 459. (See record in Auditor’s office at the State House in Columbus.). Whether the whole 1,000 acres purchased by Noble Grimes, was also located there is not known, but limited research reveals quite a stretch of land belonging to Noble Grimes, existed in this Ohio River shoreline area.[13]

Household goods, beds, bedding, furniture, one china plate. Witnesses: David Graham, Jacob Stewart. Recorded December 18, 1789.[15]
January 29, 1790: "The Jews of Paris obtained a certificate, couched in most flattering terms, and testifying to their excellent reputation, from the inhabitants of the district of the Carmelites, where most Jews dwelt at this time.”[16]
January 29, 1791: During the French Revolution, a Jewish delegation dressed in their uniforms as National Guardsmen and bearing certificates of ‘good behavior’ from the Christian citizens of Paris appeared before the Commune seeking support for their demand to be granted full rights as citizens of France.[17]

January 29, 1834: On this day in 1834, Andrew Jackson becomes the first president to use federal troops to quell labor unrest.
Workers building the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal were rebelling because of persistent poor working conditions and low pay. The canal project, initially designed by George Washington, was intended to ease transportation of goods from the Chesapeake Bay to the Ohio River Valley. Barges navigating the Potomac River, the main conduit between the Chesapeake and inland waterways, were forced to contend with challenging rapids and tributaries, which hindered American commerce. As early as 1772, George Washington received a charter from the colony of Virginia to survey alternate routes from the Potomac—he envisioned a canal that would bypass the river's rapids and falls. Washington's plan included building locks that raised barges at increases in elevation. Interrupted by the American Revolution, Washington returned to the project after the war and organized the Patowmack Company in 1785. The Patowmack Company built several canals along the Maryland and Virginia shorelines—engineers later deemed the lock systems at Little Falls, Maryland, and Great Falls, Virginia, innovative in concept and construction. Washington sometimes even supervised the harrowing, dangerous work himself, which entailed the removal of earth and boulders by manual labor.
After Washington's death, the Patowmack Company folded. However, in 1823, legislators, business leaders and engineers held a convention in the capital to revive and expand the canal project. With plans to achieve a safe inland waterway route to the Ohio River, the newly chartered Chesapeake and Ohio Canal company began construction in 1828. President John Quincy Adams ceremoniously broke ground on what became an enterprise fraught with financial difficulties and frequent labor stoppages. The incredibly rocky ground proved nearly impossible to excavate and years of slow progress sent costs soaring. In addition, property owners fought the canal's passage through their land, exacerbating the situation.
Construction teams consisted primarily of Irish, German, Dutch and black workers who, with primitive tools, were forced to work long hours for low wages in dangerous conditions. Fed up, the workers rioted on January 29, but were quickly put down by federal troops. The move set a dangerous precedent for future labor-management relations. When labor uprisings increased toward and into the turn of the century, business leaders were confident in the knowledge that they could turn to local, state or federal government leaders to head off labor unrest. Although work resumed on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, the project was finally abandoned in 1850, with the farthest reach of the canal ending at Cumberland, Maryland.[24]
January 29, 1850
Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky introduces eight resolutions in the Senate regarding free or slave status for new states, known as the Compromise of 1850.[25]
January 29, 1861: Kansas became the 34th state of the Union.[26] Kansas is admitted to the Union as free state. It was the 34th state to enter the Union. The struggle between pro- and anti-slave forces in Kansas was a major factor in the eruption of the Civil War.
In 1854, Kansas and Nebraska were organized as territories with popular sovereignty (popular vote) to decide the issue of slavery. There was really no debate over the issue in Nebraska, as the territory was filled with settlers from the Midwest, where there was no slavery. In Kansas, the situation was much different. Although most of the settlers were anti-slave or abolitionists, there were many pro-slave Missourians lurking just over the border. When residents in the territory voted on the issue, many fraudulent votes were cast from Missouri. This triggered the massive violence that earned the area the name "Bleeding Kansas." Both sides committed atrocities, and the fighting over the issue of slavery was a preview of the Civil War.
Kansas remained one of the most important political questions throughout the 1850s. Each side drafted constitutions, but the anti-slave faction eventually gained the upper hand. Kansas entered the Union as a free state, but the conflict continued in Kansas into the Civil War. The state was the scene of some of the most brutal acts of violence during the war. One extreme example was the sacking of Lawrence in 1863, when pro-slave forces murdered nearly 200 men and burned the anti-slave town. [27]
January 29th, 1865. We was relieved from picket at a 11 o’clock a.m. Since the great fire there has been a great many torpedoes and shell and large quantity of powder found in different buildings in all parts of the city. It seems that a portion of the citizens intend to destroy the city if possible.
The guards has orders to arrest all suspicious persons.[28]
Arriving in Savannah, the troops found that the prices were very high, and many prominent citizens were receiving rations fronm the army. Some were shocked to find ladies dressed in silk, engaged in the humble occupation of rag picker. Rigby showed little Christian charity as he recordede, “…the sad expression of contenance betray all the effects of a wicked cause… well may the matron and fair maidens of this land sit in ashes and drape their ulcerated hearts.” Private Rigby accompanied Captain James Martin to visit a sick woman whose husband was in the Copnfederate army and whose familoy was libving upon the hospitality of “Uncle Sam.” Again Rigby bitterly penned, “While the husband is fighting to sustain barbarism, Union officers and soldiers are praying for the salvation of his household.[29][30]

January 29, 1933: Paul von Hindenburg, President of Germany appointed Adolf Hitler as Chancellor of Germany. The Nazis did not come to power through a coup or putsch. They came to power legally, using the German political and electoral processes.[32]
January 29, 1940: As the Nazi plunder of Poland continues, General Gouvernment ordered registration of all Jewish property.[33]
January 29, 1943: On January 29, Merdsche, the Commander of Orleans, sent 67 Jews to Drancy, among them 25 women and 4 children; from Poitiers 22 internees arrived; from Dijon. [34]

January 29, 1944: In Lithuania, Soviet led partisans including Jews from the Kovno and Vilnius ghettos attacked Koniuchy which was later described a pro-Nazi town from which Germans launched attacks against partisans. According to various reports several civilians were killed in the action which has led to it being described as a “massacre.”[38]

Alas, not too many folks care about those
evil Hessian mercenaries who fell on these shores during the Revolution.
The Sandusky event is clearly community backed
while trying to honor "Hessians" is an entirely different kettle of fish.
I plan on writing to Hesse again and see
if they might support a marker to honor their
countrymen who fell in a cause not of their choosing.
And also check with local German-American groups
to see if there is any interest.
Wish me luck.
Bob
P.S. Still no word from any v. Donop's descendants.
So the Count remains in his cardboard box for now.
Bob, I like the German/American angle. Those organizations are quite active in my area and quite possibly there as well. I think a roadside plaque and a plaque at the cemetery is a good start. Even so, there was a AM/REV battle and that should fit into some sort of SAR DAR arena. I will check into it. They have been after us to join for a while so maybe this is the time. Jeff

This Day…
January 29, 1421(17th of Shevat, 5181): The Jews of Sargossa, Spain were spared from slaughter at the hands of King Alfonso V , thanks to the fact that a handful of synagogues beadles had acted on the advice given to them by the Prophet Elijah in a dream shared by each of them. The resulting salvation on the 17th of Shevat was celebrated by Saragossan Jews, and dubbed "Purim Saragossa." A Hebrew Megillah (scroll) was penned, describing the details of the miraculous story. To this day, this scroll is read in certain communities on Purim Saragossa.[1]
1421-1422
Jews expelled from Austria resettled in Ternopol, Czech[2] in 1421[3].
1421: China.
Elsewhere, it’s the rise of the Aztec empire in Central America. Joan of Arce will lead the French in the Hundred Years War. In China it’s the Ming Dynasty. Under Emperor Ju di, Admiral Zheng He is in command of what will become the largest maritime fleet in the world. “We have traversed more than one-hundred thousand li of immense water spaces…” “We have set eyes on barbarian regions far away.” Zheng he
One hundred thousand Li is about 30,000 miles, roughly the distance from the port in Non Jing, to the Americas, and back. [4]
A map was produced from the voyages of Zheng he the showed the whole world accurately. The person that made this map in 1763 wrote on the map that he had copied it from one drawn earlier in 1418. At that time records showed that Zheng He’s fleet was already traveling as far as Africa. If authentic this would be the first map of the world. It could only have been made if someone traveled along the American coastline.[5]
January 29, 1482: Pope Sixtus V addresses a “severe letter” to Ferdinand and Isabella censuring the conduct of the Inquisition. “In this letter the pope admitted that he had issued the bull for the institution of the Inquisition without due consideration.”[6]
The Spanish Inquisition began to operate in 1483, and during the succeding decade and using torture to conduct its investigations, convicted hundreds of New Christians of heresy and delivered them to the civil autorities for execution by burning. Many more were obliged to recant their heresies in humiliating public spectacles and to forfeit their property.[7]
January 29, 1676(OS): Tsar Alexis I of Russia passed away. “During his reign a considerable number of Jews lived in Moscow and the interior of Russia. In a work of travels, written at that time, but published later, and bearing the title, Reise nach dem Norden the author states that, owing to the influence of a certain Stephan von Gaden, the czar's Jewish physician, the number of Jews considerably increased in Moscow. The same information is contained in the work, The Present State of Russia by Samuel Collins, who was also a physician at the court of the czar. From the edicts issued by Alexis Mikhailovich, it appears that the czar often granted the Jews passports with red seals (gosudarevy zhalovannyya gramoty), without which no foreigners could be admitted to the interior; and that they traveled without restriction to Moscow, dealing in cloth and jewelry, and even received from his court commissions to procure various articles of merchandise. Thus, in 1672, the Jewish merchants Samuel Jakovlev and his companions were commissioned at Moscow to go abroad and buy Hungarian wine.” Another edict “instructed a party of Lithuanian Jews to proceed from Kaluga to Nijni-Novgorod, and as a protection they received an escort of twenty sharpshooters.” The Czar’s attitude towards the Jews was a mixed bag as can be seen from his expulsion of “the Jews from the newly acquired Lithuanian and Polish cities” – Mohilev, Wilna, and Kiev. Altogether, taking into consideration the hatred of foreigners among the Russian population of his time, it is evident that Alexis was kindly disposed toward the Jews.”[8]
January 29, 1773
While the Provincial Council on January 13, 1773, laid the matter on the table for the time being Governor Richard Penn, on January twenty-ninth sent this message to them affecting the settlements west of the mountains: “Gentlemen: I think it encumbent upon me to inform you, that the late evacuation of Fort Pitt, by order of the Commander-inChief (Gage), hath greatly alarmed the inhabitants of this province, settled beyond the Allegheny Mountains, who have been used to look upon that fortress as their safeguard against the incursions of the Indians. I have received from that quarter several petitions, which I have ordered the secretary to lay before you, expressing their apprehension of the dangerous situation to wich they are reduced, and prayikng form government a suitable relief. Upon receipt of these petitions I wrote to General Gage by express, requesting the continuance of a small garrison at that post, at least till the meeting of the Assembly. But too far advanced to be countermanded; nor did he seem to think it expedient for him to have continued abny of the troops there, had my letter been received in time.
“It cannot be doubted that the late military establishment at Fort Pitt did very greatly contribute to the rapid population of the country beyond the mountains; and that the withdrawing the King’s troops must of course not only depress the spirits of the present settlers, but retard the progress of the settlement. I persuade myself that you will view the safety and protection of that extensive and flourishing district as an object of great importance, and worthy of the public attention. And as it appears to me that the most proper, and indeed only assistance, which can be afforded these people, is the supporting a small garrison at the post, I find myself under the necessity of applying to you to enable me to carry that measure into execution.”[9]
January 29, 1777: Facing a surprise British counterassault in the bitter cold and with a snowstorm approaching, American commander Major General William Heath and his army of 6,000 abandon their siege on Fort Independence, in Bronx County, New York, on this day in 1777.
Acting on orders from General George Washington, General Heath and his men had begun their assault on Fort Independence 11 days earlier on January 18, 1777. General Washington, who was under British attack in nearby New Jersey, believed that a successful assault on Fort Independence would force the British to divert troops from New Jersey to defend the outpost, located just outside British-controlled Manhattan between the Post Roads to Boston and Albany.
On January 25, a torrential rainstorm overflowed the Bronx River and muddied the battlefield, making troop movement nearly impossible for the Patriots. A British counterassault and the pending snowstorm forced General Heath to admit defeat, and he ordered his troops to retreat on January 29, 1777.
Fort Independence was first built by the Patriots in 1776 and then burned by them as they retreated from New York City. The British partially rebuilt the fort when they took control later in the year. The fort endured the Patriots' attack in 1777, but was destroyed again as the British left in 1779 . The city park that now exists on the site memorializes the fort on its front gates, as well as in its name.
Also on this day in 1777, Washington placed Major General Israel Putnam in command of all Patriot troops in New York, charging them with defense of the city and its water routes.[10]
January 29, 1779
The British under Lieutenant Colonel Archibald Campbell capture August, Georgia.
January 29, 1780: On the morning of January 29th we had ten fathoms of water; the air was clear, and we were at latitude 32° 29’ north. At two o’clock in the afternoon a sailor cried out from the mast, “Land!” I do not believe that the Ten Thousand Greeks, when they beheld the Black Sea after their difficult retreat through Asia, could have been more joyful over the sight of the sea than we were over the word “Land!” Every face brightened. Toward three o’clock the fleet heaved to in order to assemble. Today we saw wild ducks and sea gulls in great numbers, which looked as welcome to us in the air as when we saw them fried in a pan at other times. [11]
January 29, 1784
Harrison, Benj. & Lawrence: 1097 1/4 acres, Book 3, page
171. Date 1-29-1784. no watercourse nearby.[12]
Adams County, Ohio was known as the mouth of Brush Creek, where it flow into the Ohio; with its head waters forming as far north as Highland County Ohio. Where Brush Creek meets the Ohio River, a level stretch of land spreads out at the froot of Iron Ridge; which is a noted historical spot in this area. Here in this place, a survey to Churchill Jones, No. 2311, perhaps a thousand acres, part of the former survey of 4,000 acresw warranted to Chruchill Jones, who served as a Captain on the Virginia Cont. Line Establishment. It is doubtful that his whole 4,000 acres were situated at this Brush Creek, although 1,000 acres of the survey was sold to Noble Grives, uncle of Effie (Grimes) Crawford, wife of Lt. John Crawford. The former survey was dated January 29, 1784, while the 1,000 acres purchased by Noble Grives was dated in Oct. 1799, on No. 459. (See record in Auditor’s office at the State House in Columbus.). Whether the whole 1,000 acres purchased by Noble Grimes, was also located there is not known, but limited research reveals quite a stretch of land belonging to Noble Grimes, existed in this Ohio River shoreline area.[13]

John Crawford, Yeomen, on January 29, 1788 sold to Richard Graham, yeoman, his household goods, live stock, etc…One negro wench Lucy, One black cow with some white spots, Three sheep with a crop and slit in each ear, an over kehl and under kehl in each ear. Household goods, beds, bedding, furniture, one china plate. Witnesses: David Graham, Jacob Stewart. Recorded December 18, 1789.[15]
January 29, 1790: "The Jews of Paris obtained a certificate, couched in most flattering terms, and testifying to their excellent reputation, from the inhabitants of the district of the Carmelites, where most Jews dwelt at this time.”[16]
January 29, 1791: During the French Revolution, a Jewish delegation dressed in their uniforms as National Guardsmen and bearing certificates of ‘good behavior’ from the Christian citizens of Paris appeared before the Commune seeking support for their demand to be granted full rights as citizens of France.[17]

January 29, 1834: On this day in 1834, Andrew Jackson becomes the first president to use federal troops to quell labor unrest.
Workers building the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal were rebelling because of persistent poor working conditions and low pay. The canal project, initially designed by George Washington, was intended to ease transportation of goods from the Chesapeake Bay to the Ohio River Valley. Barges navigating the Potomac River, the main conduit between the Chesapeake and inland waterways, were forced to contend with challenging rapids and tributaries, which hindered American commerce. As early as 1772, George Washington received a charter from the colony of Virginia to survey alternate routes from the Potomac—he envisioned a canal that would bypass the river's rapids and falls. Washington's plan included building locks that raised barges at increases in elevation. Interrupted by the American Revolution, Washington returned to the project after the war and organized the Patowmack Company in 1785. The Patowmack Company built several canals along the Maryland and Virginia shorelines—engineers later deemed the lock systems at Little Falls, Maryland, and Great Falls, Virginia, innovative in concept and construction. Washington sometimes even supervised the harrowing, dangerous work himself, which entailed the removal of earth and boulders by manual labor.
After Washington's death, the Patowmack Company folded. However, in 1823, legislators, business leaders and engineers held a convention in the capital to revive and expand the canal project. With plans to achieve a safe inland waterway route to the Ohio River, the newly chartered Chesapeake and Ohio Canal company began construction in 1828. President John Quincy Adams ceremoniously broke ground on what became an enterprise fraught with financial difficulties and frequent labor stoppages. The incredibly rocky ground proved nearly impossible to excavate and years of slow progress sent costs soaring. In addition, property owners fought the canal's passage through their land, exacerbating the situation.
Construction teams consisted primarily of Irish, German, Dutch and black workers who, with primitive tools, were forced to work long hours for low wages in dangerous conditions. Fed up, the workers rioted on January 29, but were quickly put down by federal troops. The move set a dangerous precedent for future labor-management relations. When labor uprisings increased toward and into the turn of the century, business leaders were confident in the knowledge that they could turn to local, state or federal government leaders to head off labor unrest. Although work resumed on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, the project was finally abandoned in 1850, with the farthest reach of the canal ending at Cumberland, Maryland.[24]
January 29, 1850
Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky introduces eight resolutions in the Senate regarding free or slave status for new states, known as the Compromise of 1850.[25]
January 29, 1861: Kansas became the 34th state of the Union.[26] Kansas is admitted to the Union as free state. It was the 34th state to enter the Union. The struggle between pro- and anti-slave forces in Kansas was a major factor in the eruption of the Civil War.
In 1854, Kansas and Nebraska were organized as territories with popular sovereignty (popular vote) to decide the issue of slavery. There was really no debate over the issue in Nebraska, as the territory was filled with settlers from the Midwest, where there was no slavery. In Kansas, the situation was much different. Although most of the settlers were anti-slave or abolitionists, there were many pro-slave Missourians lurking just over the border. When residents in the territory voted on the issue, many fraudulent votes were cast from Missouri. This triggered the massive violence that earned the area the name "Bleeding Kansas." Both sides committed atrocities, and the fighting over the issue of slavery was a preview of the Civil War.
Kansas remained one of the most important political questions throughout the 1850s. Each side drafted constitutions, but the anti-slave faction eventually gained the upper hand. Kansas entered the Union as a free state, but the conflict continued in Kansas into the Civil War. The state was the scene of some of the most brutal acts of violence during the war. One extreme example was the sacking of Lawrence in 1863, when pro-slave forces murdered nearly 200 men and burned the anti-slave town. [27]
January 29th, 1865. We was relieved from picket at a 11 o’clock a.m. Since the great fire there has been a great many torpedoes and shell and large quantity of powder found in different buildings in all parts of the city. It seems that a portion of the citizens intend to destroy the city if possible.
The guards has orders to arrest all suspicious persons.[28]
Arriving in Savannah, the troops found that the prices were very high, and many prominent citizens were receiving rations fronm the army. Some were shocked to find ladies dressed in silk, engaged in the humble occupation of rag picker. Rigby showed little Christian charity as he recordede, “…the sad expression of contenance betray all the effects of a wicked cause… well may the matron and fair maidens of this land sit in ashes and drape their ulcerated hearts.” Private Rigby accompanied Captain James Martin to visit a sick woman whose husband was in the Copnfederate army and whose familoy was libving upon the hospitality of “Uncle Sam.” Again Rigby bitterly penned, “While the husband is fighting to sustain barbarism, Union officers and soldiers are praying for the salvation of his household.[29][30]

Alas, not too many folks care about those
evil Hessian mercenaries who fell on these shores during the Revolution.
The Sandusky event is clearly community backed
while trying to honor "Hessians" is an entirely different kettle of fish.
I plan on writing to Hesse again and see
if they might support a marker to honor their
countrymen who fell in a cause not of their choosing.
And also check with local German-American groups
to see if there is any interest.
Wish me luck.
Bob
P.S. Still no word from any v. Donop's descendants.
So the Count remains in his cardboard box for now.
Bob, I like the German/American angle. Those organizations are quite active in my area and quite possibly there as well. I think a roadside plaque and a plaque at the cemetery is a good start. Even so, there was a AM/REV battle and that should fit into some sort of SAR DAR arena. I will check into it. They have been after us to join for a while so maybe this is the time. Jeff

Thanks Sherri! It’s a very cool thing they are doing. Jeff
Here is today’s post.:
January 28th, 2011 by Bromleigh
Week 20, Day 5
2 Chronicles 1, 2, 3.
A friend of mine is finishing the manuscript of her first book this week. It’s a memoir about ministry and marriage and motherhood. I’ve read a good chunk of it and it’s wonderful: beautiful and gracious. When I first met Katherine our girls were not yet two years old: we were both away from them for the first time. We were delighted to be together, at a writing workshop, learning so much, but also anxious about being away..
A lot of our first years of parenting — not just mine and Katherine’s, but most of my friends — were full of anxiety. We were nervous about everything, nervous about screwing up. We’d all known we’d wanted children, but now that we’d actually become parents, we were daunted by the magnitude of the task of raising these children..
When you’re faced with something huge — something that requires more than all the manuals and planning available — you need wisdom..
Of course, the conventional wisdom on wisdom (!) is that it comes with age. “knowledge plus experience” or “knowledge plus empathy” or “knowledge plus love.” But we, the anxious young parents, can’t wait for age. We have kids now, and we need some wisdom before they grow up too much….
Solomon is also daunted by a huge task. He is still young. He asks for wisdom.
.It’s important, I think, to look at who he asks for wisdom. In our culture, just about everyone’s an expert — anyone who knows someone who works for cable news, anyone with a blogger account. So many talking heads feel the need to weigh in. It’s no different, I think, in Christian culture. There are so many folks peddling answers, and when we find ourselves in the grip of anxiety, in the face of the hard work of living faithfully and raising faithful children, we may think at first that what we require most — what we could really use — is some answers. A clear plan..
But Solomon knows that there will be contingencies. Solomon is smart enough to know (maybe he’s been watching his dad) that things don’t always go the way we expect them to go. And so he asks for the one thing that will help him, always. The one thing that’s always good to have on hand. And he asks the One trustworthy enough to bestow such a gift..
A big pile of gold..
No. Not really..
He asks for wisdom. Katherine, though still young, is increasingly wise — having spent all these months mining her experiences for Truth — about God, about her marriage, about her role as a mother. As we face the daunting task of living a good life before God, may we seek never content ourselves with easy answers, instead preferring to continually discern God’s presence and guiding Spirit in all that we do.[1]
This Day…
January 28, 814: Charlemagne passed away. The grandson of Charles Martel was one of the greatest European rulers during the Dark Ages. There was nothing Dark about his treatment of the Jews. For the most part, he ignored canon law and the wishes of the Pope and treated the Jews of his realm rather decently.[2]
834
When Ailpein, the 68th traditional but 28th authentic King of Scotland, was slain A.D. 834 in battle near Dundee by Brudus King of the Picts from whom Ailpein had wrested the Pictish scepter, he left three sons, the youngest of whom was Prince Gregor, who did not succeed his brothers to the throne.[3]
846: In 846 Moslems had sacked Rome.[4]
855 Italy, Jews expelled.[5]
Kenneth, son of Alpin, King of the Picts, died A.D. 858; that Donald, son of Alpin, King of the Picts, died A.D. 862;[6]
870: When Bernard the Wise from Brittany, visited Palestin in 870, he found Charles the Great’s establishments still in working order, but empty and beginning to decay. Bernard had only been able to make the journey by obtaining a passport from the Moslem authorities then governing Bari, in southern Italy; and even this passport did not enable him to land at Alexandria.[7]
876 Sens, Jews deported.[8]
878
In the year 878, with a young military commander by the name of Alfred (849-899), King of Wessex, later called “The Great.” He is credited with preserving the language by his military exploits against the invading Danes. With a fresh number of recruits, Alfred surprised and overwhelmed the Danes at the battle of Ethandune, causing their withdrawal to the north.[9]
Although it is on certain record that the chief of MacKinnon was seised of property in Skye as well as in the Isle of Mull as early as A. D. 880, we have no authentic account of the history of the clan till we reach A. D. 1314, when the clan MacKinnon fought under the great Bruce at the battle of Bannockburn.[10]
January 28,1077: As a result of an event called the Walk to Canossa, Pope Gregory VII lifted he excommunication of Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor. This was part of the struggle between the Church and the temporal rulers as to who would be the final voice of authority in Europe. Jews could not have taken comfort in this apparent success of Gregory over Henry. Gregory was hostile to Jewish interest. This can be seen in his letter to King Alfonso forbidding Jews to hold public office or to “have power over Christians.” Furthermore, he ordered the King to have the Jews pay special “Jew Taxes” throughout his kingdom. Henry was protective of his Jewish subjects. He issued charters to the Jews of Speyer and Worms allowing them to trade in these cities and to practice their religion according to their laws and practices. Furthermore, during the Crusades, he defied Christian doctrine and the Pope, by supporting the right of Jews who had been forced to convert “to disregard their baptism and return to Judaism.”[11]
1079: Tutush, the brother of Malik Shahg arranged for Atsiz’s murder and by 1079 was ruler of all Syria south of Aleppo, with his lieutenant Ortoq as his viceroy in Jerusalem. Between them they established a fairly orderly state in the cities. But the roads were still infested by bandits
1080: By 1080 the whole of Asia Minor was in Turkish hads except for the Black Sea coast and districts in the southwestern corner of the peninsula. Sultuan Suleiman had penetrated to the Sea of Marmora and had established his capital int e venerable city of Nicaea, less than a hundred miles from Constantinople. His territory included most of the centre of the peninsula. [12]
1081: In 1081 the throne at Constantinople was taken over by a young general, Alexius Comnenus, who was to reign for thirty seven years and to prove the greatest statesman of his time. [13]
1081: The state of the Empire in 1081 was such that only a man of great courage or great stupidity would have undertaken its government. The treasury was empty. Recent Emperors had been spendthrift. The loss of Anatolia and rebellions in Europe had seriously diminished the revenue. The old system of tax collection had broken down. [14]
1085: It was only in 1085, when Robert Guiscard died and Bohemond hurried back to Italy to fight with his brothers over the inheritance, that Alexius was able to reestablish his authority over his European provinces. Soon afterwards he had to meet a serious invasion by Petcheneg barbarians from over the Danube;; but by 1091 he was securely in control of the Balkans.[15]
1085: In 1085 Alexious Comnenus recovered the Bithynian coastline of the Sea of Marmora.[16]
1086: In 1086 Sultan Suleiman was killed fighting against his cousin Tutush for the control of Aleppo. For the next five yeatrs Turkish princes fought for the inheritance until Suleiman’s son, Kilij Arslan I, established himself in Nicaea; but he was in no position now to threaten Constantinople. More dangerous was the Emir Chaka of Smyrna who, with the help of Greek sailors, was spreading his dominion along the Aegean coast and over the islands of Lesbos, Shios, Samos and Rhodes. [17]
1086: Meanwhile the pilgrim traffic from the West was almost at a standstill.
Count Robert I of Flanders managed to make his way to Jerusalem in 1086, with the help of large armed escort. He paused on the way back to spend a season fighting for the Emperor. But the few humbler pilgrims who succeeded in overcoming all the difficulties returned to their homes weary and impoverished, with a doleful tale to tell. [18]
1092: Alexius Comnenus managed to stir up trouble between Kilij Arslan and his son in law, who was murdered at a banquet in Nicaea in 1092. His son, the younger Chaka, was too busy trying to hold his inheritance together to venture on further aggression.[19]
1095: By 1095 Alexious Comnenus was ready to contemplate action against the Turks. For the moment his European lands were quiet; and in Asia the Seldjuk power was declining. Malik Shah died in 1092, Tutush in 1095; and Tutush’s sons, Ridwan of Aleppo and Duqaq of Damascus, were fighting agianst each other or against the atabeg of Mosul, Kerbogha, the most formidable of the younger Turkish chieftains. In Palestine the Fatimids were advancing against the sons of Orgoq. The Anbatolian Turks would get little support from their kinsmen in Syria. But Alexious was short of manpower. He needed recruits for his army. His finances were in better order; he could afford to hire mercenaries, and the best mercenaries came from the West. [20]
1095: At the Council of Claremont, Pope Urban II summoned Christians to retake the Holy Land from the Moslems, alleging that they destroyed Christian holy places. A combination of religious, economic and social motives resulted in the overwhelming response that became known as the First Crusade. The Pope formed an army headed by special knights (i.e. Raymond, Godfrey, etc.). A "people's" army also joined, encouraged by Peter the Hermit and other local clerics. There would eventually be a total of eight Crusades, but only the first four were of any real significance. The Crusades meant death and destruction for the Jews of Europe and the Levant. The “People’s Army” would lay waste to the Jewish communities of Germany and Austria as they marched across Europe. After all, why wait until they got to Palestine to kill the enemies of Christ when they were living right there in Europe? Of course, plundering and pillaging the Jews of their wealth was just an unexpected benefit of religious zeal.[21]
January 28, 1547: King Henry VIII dies in the early hours of January 28, 1547. He weighs nearly 400 pounds. Doctors reported that he had badly ulcerated legs, he was unable to walk, his sight was fading, and he suffered from paranoia and melancholy.[22] When seeking to divorce his first wife and marry Anne Boleyn, Henry sought to make use of Biblical law in his fight with Rome. He thought that Rabbis, learned in the matter, might be of some help. Since Jews were not supposed to be living in England, Henry was forced to seek out Rabbis living in Italy. While the Rabbis offered some help, they were loathe to give too much assistance to a monarch in far away England lest they offend and anger the Pope who could make miserable for the Jews of Italy.[23]
January 28, 1573: Articles of the Warsaw Confederation are signed, sanctioning freedom of religion in Poland. The primary beneficiaries of the document were competing Christian groups – Catholic, Lutheran and Orthodox. Jews continued to enjoy the benefits of The General Charter of Jewish Liberties known as the Statute of Kalisz that had been promulgated at the end of the 13th century.[24]
January 28, 1668: Pope Clement IX canceled the humiliating forced races known as the Palio. During the Plaio near naked Jews were forced to run through the streets of Rome during carnival time. In return for the revocation the Jews of Rome had to pay a special cancellation tax of 200 ducats. This tax was paid for almost 200 years.[25]
1669 Jews expelled from Oran (North Africa).[26]
1670 Jews expelled from Vienna, by Emperor Leopold I.[27]
1670
William Crawford was born about 1640 in Kilbirine, Ayrshire, Scotland. He married Naudaine Valentine in 1670. She was born in Delaware. He came to America from Lenarkshire, Ayshire, Scotland & Donegal, Ireland. [28]
William Crawford came to America with his brother George.[29]
January 28, 1777
After Colonel William Crawford came back to his plantation at Connellsville from an earlier service in the east, he and Colonel Pentecost, and Major Edward Ward became a triumvirate that was able to handle the situation of the western frontier, aided by Colonel David Shepherd in the Wheeling Creek Valley. This district was known as West Augusta in the Virginia military organization, and at an important council of war held at Catfish Camp on January 28, 1777, there were present Colonel Dorsey Pentecost, County Lieutenant, Colonel John Canon, Lieutenant-Colonel Isaac Cox, and Major Henry Taylor, for Yohogania County; Colonel David Shepherd, County Lieutenant, Colonel Silas Hedges, Lieutenant-Colonel David McClure, and Major Samuel McCulloch, for Ohio County; and Colonel Zackwell Morgan, County Lieutenant, and Major John Evans for Monongalia County.

At this council, Colonel Dorsey Pentecost was chosen president, Colonel Isaac Cox, vice-president, and Colonel David McClure, secretary.

January 28, 1777: John Burgoyne, poet, playwright and British general, submits an ill-fated plan to the British government to isolate New England from the other colonies on this day in 1777.
Burgoyne's plan revolved around an invasion of 8,000 British troops from Canada, who would move southward through New York by way of Lake Champlain and the Mohawk River, taking the Americans by surprise. General Burgoyne believed he and his troops could then take control of the Hudson River and isolate New England from the other colonies, freeing British General William Howe to attack Philadelphia.
General Burgoyne's plan went into effect during the summer of 1777 and was initially a success—the British captured Fort Ticonderoga on June 2, 1777. However, the early success failed to lead to victory, as Burgoyne overextended his supply chain, which stretched in a long, narrow strip from the northern tip of Lake Champlain south to the northern curve of the Hudson River at Fort Edward, New York. As Burgoyne's army marched south, Patriot militia circled north, cutting the British supply line.
Burgoyne then suffered defeat in Bennington, Vermont, and bloody draws at Bemis Heights, New York. On October 17, 1777, a frustrated Burgoyne retreated 10 miles and surrendered his remaining 6,000 British forces to the Patriots at Saratoga. Upon hearing of the Patriot victory, France agreed to recognize the independence of the United States. It was, of course, France's eventual support that enabled the Patriots' ultimate victory.
The defeat at Saratoga led to General Burgoyne's downfall. He returned to England, where he faced severe criticism and soon retired from active service.[32]
January 28, 1780: Up to January 28th the wind remained changeab1e, but we gained more than we lost. About ten o’clock at night, to our great joy, the wind turned NE and the course SW. We sailed five to six miles in one hour.[33]
January 28, 1790: The French National Assembly granted full and equal citizenship to the Portuguese and Avignonese Jews. The Jews of Alsace would have to wait until 1791 to be granted these same rights. France was the first European country to pass such liberal legislation.[34]
January 28, 1865
The regiment, after most of the shells had ignited, aided fighting the resulting fires, despite the danger of further explosions. Savvannah presented a sad picture the nest morning Six blocks had burned before the fire could be controlled. The city, with its wide oak shaded streets, beautiful homes, and impressive public buildings, boasted of a theater, three academies, thirteen churches, and eighteen loveluy parks, all of which had impressed the Iowans.[35]
January 28th. I was detailed to go on picket. We could hear the shells explode in the ruins all day long and several through the night.[36]
It was a very cold night. It froze ice a half inch thick.[37]
Panic stricken women, children and negroes were hurrying frantically from the missiles of death. Although the fragments were falling all about our quarters a number of women took refuge in them and felt themselves safe. I suppose for the reason that we took the shelling too coolly.[38]
January 28, 1904
Cora Goodlove is visiting her sister, Mrs. Gray, in Anamosa.[39]
January 28, 1938: The Palestine Post published a major study on the extent of the 'Octopus of Nazi Propaganda in Syria.' There were two major German propaganda centers in the Middle East: one in Cairo for Egypt, Sudan, Palestine and Transjordan, and the second in Baghdad, for Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. The Germans proved to be masters in the art of propaganda and anti-Semitic incitement spread by their well-trained agents and maintained a number of exclusive, influential clubs in major cities. Large bribes were handed over for the 'Arab victims of the Jewish aggression in Palestine.[40]
January 28, 1941
Helmut Knochen, the SiPo-SD commander in France, asks the German military administration for the creation of internment camps for foreign Jews in the Occupied Zone. Knochen cites the precedent of the Vichy law permitting prefects to detain foreign Jews and the existence of a large number of such camps in the Vichy Zone.[41]
January 28, 1943: Over the next 3 days, ten thousand Jews from Pruzhany, Belorussia, are deported to Auschwitz.[42]
January 28, 1949: Israel was recognized (diplomatically) by Australia, Belgium, Chile, Great Britain, Holland, Luxembourg, and New Zealand.[43]
January 28, 1986: One minute 13 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger, engulfed in a fireball of leaked hydrogen fuel, breaks apart and falls to Earth. The crew, including the first “teacher in space” Christa McAuliffe, perishes. Investigators blame a failure of the O-ring on a solid rocket booster and fault NASA for ignoring engineering concerns. After 30 years and 134 missions, and the loss of a second shuttle and crew in 2003, the shuttle program is scheduled to end after a final flight in February 2011.[44]

Dear Joe - you were asking if I knew John Wilkinson,his age probably in the eighties..
The answer is that I do not know a John Wilkinson. Wendell Wilkinson,
( son of Tom and Cora ) had several sons but they would not be in their
eighties. I don't think Oscar Goodlove had any son by name of John.
Sorry I am not of much help.

[30] Evidently, Mark (Marquis) Stephenson waited until the fulfillment of his obligations to his mother, then he and his mamily also began to plan for a westward move. The sale took place about 1777, when we may calculate widow Stephenson’s death, to be that year or a little before, when she passed away and was buried near her husband, who found his final resting place about eleven years before.
It is here, we find the ‘Old Homestead’ falling into the hands of strangers. The deed describes it to have, houses, buildings, woods, paths, water courses, meadows, trees, orchards and gardens. A place of beautiful memories, with excellent southern culture. A place weathered by wars, births and deaths of the two families, rich in colonial American history; reflectin the Spirit of Seventy-Six from its very core, which penetrated the souls of these two families and the hearts of their descendants to follow, for more than two hundred years.

Thanks Sherri! It’s a very cool thing they are doing. Jeff
Here is today’s post.:
January 28th, 2011 by Bromleigh
Week 20, Day 5
2 Chronicles 1, 2, 3.
A friend of mine is finishing the manuscript of her first book this week. It’s a memoir about ministry and marriage and motherhood. I’ve read a good chunk of it and it’s wonderful: beautiful and gracious. When I first met Katherine our girls were not yet two years old: we were both away from them for the first time. We were delighted to be together, at a writing workshop, learning so much, but also anxious about being away..
A lot of our first years of parenting — not just mine and Katherine’s, but most of my friends — were full of anxiety. We were nervous about everything, nervous about screwing up. We’d all known we’d wanted children, but now that we’d actually become parents, we were daunted by the magnitude of the task of raising these children..
When you’re faced with something huge — something that requires more than all the manuals and planning available — you need wisdom..
Of course, the conventional wisdom on wisdom (!) is that it comes with age. “knowledge plus experience” or “knowledge plus empathy” or “knowledge plus love.” But we, the anxious young parents, can’t wait for age. We have kids now, and we need some wisdom before they grow up too much….
Solomon is also daunted by a huge task. He is still young. He asks for wisdom.
.It’s important, I think, to look at who he asks for wisdom. In our culture, just about everyone’s an expert — anyone who knows someone who works for cable news, anyone with a blogger account. So many talking heads feel the need to weigh in. It’s no different, I think, in Christian culture. There are so many folks peddling answers, and when we find ourselves in the grip of anxiety, in the face of the hard work of living faithfully and raising faithful children, we may think at first that what we require most — what we could really use — is some answers. A clear plan..
But Solomon knows that there will be contingencies. Solomon is smart enough to know (maybe he’s been watching his dad) that things don’t always go the way we expect them to go. And so he asks for the one thing that will help him, always. The one thing that’s always good to have on hand. And he asks the One trustworthy enough to bestow such a gift..
A big pile of gold..
No. Not really..
He asks for wisdom. Katherine, though still young, is increasingly wise — having spent all these months mining her experiences for Truth — about God, about her marriage, about her role as a mother. As we face the daunting task of living a good life before God, may we seek never content ourselves with easy answers, instead preferring to continually discern God’s presence and guiding Spirit in all that we do.[1]
This Day…
January 28, 814: Charlemagne passed away. The grandson of Charles Martel was one of the greatest European rulers during the Dark Ages. There was nothing Dark about his treatment of the Jews. For the most part, he ignored canon law and the wishes of the Pope and treated the Jews of his realm rather decently.[2]
834
When Ailpein, the 68th traditional but 28th authentic King of Scotland, was slain A.D. 834 in battle near Dundee by Brudus King of the Picts from whom Ailpein had wrested the Pictish scepter, he left three sons, the youngest of whom was Prince Gregor, who did not succeed his brothers to the throne.[3]
846: In 846 Moslems had sacked Rome.[4]
855 Italy, Jews expelled.[5]
Kenneth, son of Alpin, King of the Picts, died A.D. 858; that Donald, son of Alpin, King of the Picts, died A.D. 862;[6]
870: When Bernard the Wise from Brittany, visited Palestin in 870, he found Charles the Great’s establishments still in working order, but empty and beginning to decay. Bernard had only been able to make the journey by obtaining a passport from the Moslem authorities then governing Bari, in southern Italy; and even this passport did not enable him to land at Alexandria.[7]
876 Sens, Jews deported.[8]
878
In the year 878, with a young military commander by the name of Alfred (849-899), King of Wessex, later called “The Great.” He is credited with preserving the language by his military exploits against the invading Danes. With a fresh number of recruits, Alfred surprised and overwhelmed the Danes at the battle of Ethandune, causing their withdrawal to the north.[9]
Although it is on certain record that the chief of MacKinnon was seised of property in Skye as well as in the Isle of Mull as early as A. D. 880, we have no authentic account of the history of the clan till we reach A. D. 1314, when the clan MacKinnon fought under the great Bruce at the battle of Bannockburn.[10]
January 28,1077: As a result of an event called the Walk to Canossa, Pope Gregory VII lifted he excommunication of Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor. This was part of the struggle between the Church and the temporal rulers as to who would be the final voice of authority in Europe. Jews could not have taken comfort in this apparent success of Gregory over Henry. Gregory was hostile to Jewish interest. This can be seen in his letter to King Alfonso forbidding Jews to hold public office or to “have power over Christians.” Furthermore, he ordered the King to have the Jews pay special “Jew Taxes” throughout his kingdom. Henry was protective of his Jewish subjects. He issued charters to the Jews of Speyer and Worms allowing them to trade in these cities and to practice their religion according to their laws and practices. Furthermore, during the Crusades, he defied Christian doctrine and the Pope, by supporting the right of Jews who had been forced to convert “to disregard their baptism and return to Judaism.”[11]
1079: Tutush, the brother of Malik Shahg arranged for Atsiz’s murder and by 1079 was ruler of all Syria south of Aleppo, with his lieutenant Ortoq as his viceroy in Jerusalem. Between them they established a fairly orderly state in the cities. But the roads were still infested by bandits
1080: By 1080 the whole of Asia Minor was in Turkish hads except for the Black Sea coast and districts in the southwestern corner of the peninsula. Sultuan Suleiman had penetrated to the Sea of Marmora and had established his capital int e venerable city of Nicaea, less than a hundred miles from Constantinople. His territory included most of the centre of the peninsula. [12]
1081: In 1081 the throne at Constantinople was taken over by a young general, Alexius Comnenus, who was to reign for thirty seven years and to prove the greatest statesman of his time. [13]
1081: The state of the Empire in 1081 was such that only a man of great courage or great stupidity would have undertaken its government. The treasury was empty. Recent Emperors had been spendthrift. The loss of Anatolia and rebellions in Europe had seriously diminished the revenue. The old system of tax collection had broken down. [14]
1085: It was only in 1085, when Robert Guiscard died and Bohemond hurried back to Italy to fight with his brothers over the inheritance, that Alexius was able to reestablish his authority over his European provinces. Soon afterwards he had to meet a serious invasion by Petcheneg barbarians from over the Danube;; but by 1091 he was securely in control of the Balkans.[15]
1085: In 1085 Alexious Comnenus recovered the Bithynian coastline of the Sea of Marmora.[16]
1086: In 1086 Sultan Suleiman was killed fighting against his cousin Tutush for the control of Aleppo. For the next five yeatrs Turkish princes fought for the inheritance until Suleiman’s son, Kilij Arslan I, established himself in Nicaea; but he was in no position now to threaten Constantinople. More dangerous was the Emir Chaka of Smyrna who, with the help of Greek sailors, was spreading his dominion along the Aegean coast and over the islands of Lesbos, Shios, Samos and Rhodes. [17]
1086: Meanwhile the pilgrim traffic from the West was almost at a standstill.
Count Robert I of Flanders managed to make his way to Jerusalem in 1086, with the help of large armed escort. He paused on the way back to spend a season fighting for the Emperor. But the few humbler pilgrims who succeeded in overcoming all the difficulties returned to their homes weary and impoverished, with a doleful tale to tell. [18]
1092: Alexius Comnenus managed to stir up trouble between Kilij Arslan and his son in law, who was murdered at a banquet in Nicaea in 1092. His son, the younger Chaka, was too busy trying to hold his inheritance together to venture on further aggression.[19]
1095: By 1095 Alexious Comnenus was ready to contemplate action against the Turks. For the moment his European lands were quiet; and in Asia the Seldjuk power was declining. Malik Shah died in 1092, Tutush in 1095; and Tutush’s sons, Ridwan of Aleppo and Duqaq of Damascus, were fighting agianst each other or against the atabeg of Mosul, Kerbogha, the most formidable of the younger Turkish chieftains. In Palestine the Fatimids were advancing against the sons of Orgoq. The Anbatolian Turks would get little support from their kinsmen in Syria. But Alexious was short of manpower. He needed recruits for his army. His finances were in better order; he could afford to hire mercenaries, and the best mercenaries came from the West. [20]
1095: At the Council of Claremont, Pope Urban II summoned Christians to retake the Holy Land from the Moslems, alleging that they destroyed Christian holy places. A combination of religious, economic and social motives resulted in the overwhelming response that became known as the First Crusade. The Pope formed an army headed by special knights (i.e. Raymond, Godfrey, etc.). A "people's" army also joined, encouraged by Peter the Hermit and other local clerics. There would eventually be a total of eight Crusades, but only the first four were of any real significance. The Crusades meant death and destruction for the Jews of Europe and the Levant. The “People’s Army” would lay waste to the Jewish communities of Germany and Austria as they marched across Europe. After all, why wait until they got to Palestine to kill the enemies of Christ when they were living right there in Europe? Of course, plundering and pillaging the Jews of their wealth was just an unexpected benefit of religious zeal.[21]
January 28, 1547: King Henry VIII dies in the early hours of January 28, 1547. He weighs nearly 400 pounds. Doctors reported that he had badly ulcerated legs, he was unable to walk, his sight was fading, and he suffered from paranoia and melancholy.[22] When seeking to divorce his first wife and marry Anne Boleyn, Henry sought to make use of Biblical law in his fight with Rome. He thought that Rabbis, learned in the matter, might be of some help. Since Jews were not supposed to be living in England, Henry was forced to seek out Rabbis living in Italy. While the Rabbis offered some help, they were loathe to give too much assistance to a monarch in far away England lest they offend and anger the Pope who could make miserable for the Jews of Italy.[23]
January 28, 1573: Articles of the Warsaw Confederation are signed, sanctioning freedom of religion in Poland. The primary beneficiaries of the document were competing Christian groups – Catholic, Lutheran and Orthodox. Jews continued to enjoy the benefits of The General Charter of Jewish Liberties known as the Statute of Kalisz that had been promulgated at the end of the 13th century.[24]
January 28, 1668: Pope Clement IX canceled the humiliating forced races known as the Palio. During the Plaio near naked Jews were forced to run through the streets of Rome during carnival time. In return for the revocation the Jews of Rome had to pay a special cancellation tax of 200 ducats. This tax was paid for almost 200 years.[25]
1669 Jews expelled from Oran (North Africa).[26]
1670 Jews expelled from Vienna, by Emperor Leopold I.[27]
1670
William Crawford was born about 1640 in Kilbirine, Ayrshire, Scotland. He married Naudaine Valentine in 1670. She was born in Delaware. He came to America from Lenarkshire, Ayshire, Scotland & Donegal, Ireland. [28]
William Crawford came to America with his brother George.[29]
January 28, 1777
After Colonel William Crawford came back to his plantation at Connellsville from an earlier service in the east, he and Colonel Pentecost, and Major Edward Ward became a triumvirate that was able to handle the situation of the western frontier, aided by Colonel David Shepherd in the Wheeling Creek Valley. This district was known as West Augusta in the Virginia military organization, and at an important council of war held at Catfish Camp on January 28, 1777, there were present Colonel Dorsey Pentecost, County Lieutenant, Colonel John Canon, Lieutenant-Colonel Isaac Cox, and Major Henry Taylor, for Yohogania County; Colonel David Shepherd, County Lieutenant, Colonel Silas Hedges, Lieutenant-Colonel David McClure, and Major Samuel McCulloch, for Ohio County; and Colonel Zackwell Morgan, County Lieutenant, and Major John Evans for Monongalia County. There were also present the following captains: John Munn, David Andrew, John Wall, Cornelius Thompson, Gabriel Cox, Michael Rawlings, William Scott, Joseph Ogle, William Price, Joseph Tumlinson, Benjamin Frye, Matthew Ritchey, Samuel Meason, Jacob Lister, Peter Reasoner, James Rogers, David Owings, Henry Hogland, John Pearce Duvall, James Brinton, Vinson Colvin, James Buchanan, Abner Howell, Charles Crecraft, John Mitchell, John Hogland, Reason Virgin, William Harrod, David Williamson, Joseph Cisney, Charles Martin and Owin Davos.
At this council, Colonel Dorsey Pentecost was chosen president, Colonel Isaac Cox, vice-president, and Colonel David McClure, secretary. The council took into consideration the distribution of lead, powder and flints that had been sent on at the direction of Governor Patrick Henry, some of it coming up the Ohio River, in a cargo in charge of Captain Gibson.

January 28, 1777: John Burgoyne, poet, playwright and British general, submits an ill-fated plan to the British government to isolate New England from the other colonies on this day in 1777.
Burgoyne's plan revolved around an invasion of 8,000 British troops from Canada, who would move southward through New York by way of Lake Champlain and the Mohawk River, taking the Americans by surprise. General Burgoyne believed he and his troops could then take control of the Hudson River and isolate New England from the other colonies, freeing British General William Howe to attack Philadelphia.
General Burgoyne's plan went into effect during the summer of 1777 and was initially a success—the British captured Fort Ticonderoga on June 2, 1777. However, the early success failed to lead to victory, as Burgoyne overextended his supply chain, which stretched in a long, narrow strip from the northern tip of Lake Champlain south to the northern curve of the Hudson River at Fort Edward, New York. As Burgoyne's army marched south, Patriot militia circled north, cutting the British supply line.
Burgoyne then suffered defeat in Bennington, Vermont, and bloody draws at Bemis Heights, New York. On October 17, 1777, a frustrated Burgoyne retreated 10 miles and surrendered his remaining 6,000 British forces to the Patriots at Saratoga. Upon hearing of the Patriot victory, France agreed to recognize the independence of the United States. It was, of course, France's eventual support that enabled the Patriots' ultimate victory.
The defeat at Saratoga led to General Burgoyne's downfall. He returned to England, where he faced severe criticism and soon retired from active service.[32]
January 28, 1780: Up to January 28th the wind remained changeab1e, but we gained more than we lost. About ten o’clock at night, to our great joy, the wind turned NE and the course SW. We sailed five to six miles in one hour.[33]
January 28, 1790: The French National Assembly granted full and equal citizenship to the Portuguese and Avignonese Jews. The Jews of Alsace would have to wait until 1791 to be granted these same rights. France was the first European country to pass such liberal legislation.[34]
January 28, 1865
The regiment, after most of the shells had ignited, aided fighting the resulting fires, despite the danger of further explosions. Savvannah presented a sad picture the nest morning Six blocks had burned before the fire could be controlled. The city, with its wide oak shaded streets, beautiful homes, and impressive public buildings, boasted of a theater, three academies, thirteen churches, and eighteen loveluy parks, all of which had impressed the Iowans.[35]
January 28th. I was detailed to go on picket. We could hear the shells explode in the ruins all day long and several through the night.[36]
It was a very cold night. It froze ice a half inch thick.[37]
Panic stricken women, children and negroes were hurrying frantically from the missiles of death. Although the fragments were falling all about our quarters a number of women took refuge in them and felt themselves safe. I suppose for the reason that we took the shelling too coolly.[38]
January 28, 1904
Cora Goodlove is visiting her sister, Mrs. Gray, in Anamosa.[39]
January 28, 1938: The Palestine Post published a major study on the extent of the 'Octopus of Nazi Propaganda in Syria.' There were two major German propaganda centers in the Middle East: one in Cairo for Egypt, Sudan, Palestine and Transjordan, and the second in Baghdad, for Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. The Germans proved to be masters in the art of propaganda and anti-Semitic incitement spread by their well-trained agents and maintained a number of exclusive, influential clubs in major cities. Large bribes were handed over for the 'Arab victims of the Jewish aggression in Palestine.[40]
January 28, 1941
Helmut Knochen, the SiPo-SD commander in France, asks the German military administration for the creation of internment camps for foreign Jews in the Occupied Zone. Knochen cites the precedent of the Vichy law permitting prefects to detain foreign Jews and the existence of a large number of such camps in the Vichy Zone.[41]
January 28, 1943: Over the next 3 days, ten thousand Jews from Pruzhany, Belorussia, are deported to Auschwitz.[42]
January 28, 1949: Israel was recognized (diplomatically) by Australia, Belgium, Chile, Great Britain, Holland, Luxembourg, and New Zealand.[43]
January 28, 1986: One minute 13 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger, engulfed in a fireball of leaked hydrogen fuel, breaks apart and falls to Earth. The crew, including the first “teacher in space” Christa McAuliffe, perishes. Investigators blame a failure of the O-ring on a solid rocket booster and fault NASA for ignoring engineering concerns. After 30 years and 134 missions, and the loss of a second shuttle and crew in 2003, the shuttle program is scheduled to end after a final flight in February 2011.[44]

I Get Email!
Dear Joe - you were asking if I knew John Wilkinson,his age probably in the eighties..
The answer is that I do not know a John Wilkinson. Wendell Wilkinson,
( son of Tom and Cora ) had several sons but they would not be in their
eighties. I don't think Oscar Goodlove had any son by name of John.
Sorry I am not of much help.

[30] Evidently, Mark (Marquis) Stephenson waited until the fulfillment of his obligations to his mother, then he and his mamily also began to plan for a westward move. The sale took place about 1777, when we may calculate widow Stephenson’s death, to be that year or a little before, when she passed away and was buried near her husband, who found his final resting place about eleven years before.
It is here, we find the ‘Old Homestead’ falling into the hands of strangers. The deed describes it to have, houses, buildings, woods, paths, water courses, meadows, trees, orchards and gardens. A place of beautiful memories, with excellent southern culture. A place weathered by wars, births and deaths of the two families, rich in colonial American history; reflectin the Spirit of Seventy-Six from its very core, which penetrated the souls of these two families and the hearts of their descendants to follow, for more than two hundred years.
