May 24, 1136: Hugh de Payen died on May 24, 1136. His successor as Grand Master was Robert de Craon.
ARMS RELATED TO THE PAYEN/PAINE/PAYNE NAME:
PayenCoa
This shield was made by a re-enactor who
portrays Hugh de Payen. It seems to
indicate that it is related to the Pagenham
crest below. However this is more fantasy than fact.
Later this family was reputed to be prominent in their manorial holdings. Perhaps Hugh married a woman of wealth? Catherine St. Clair certainly fits that profile. Perhaps she died, leaving him her holdings? I have yet to determine the answers. [1]
1137:
Yusaf later known as Saladin, son of Najm ad-Din, was born in 1137 A.D. in the city of Tovin in northern Armenia close to Georgia.[2] Henry the Proud (Duke of Bavaria) also becomes Duke of Saxony, Gruffydd Prince of North Wales dies and is succeeded by Owain the Great, Emperor Lothar III dies, Antioch becomes vassal to Byzantium, start of performances by Provencal troubadour Marcabrun, creation of bishopric of Aberdeen, Mainz cathedral completed, Rochester cathedral burns and is rebuilt, Adelard of Bath writes about seeking natural causes for natural phenomena, Death of Lothair of Saxony HRE.[3]
May 24, 1218: The Fifth Crusade leaves Acre for Egypt. The driving forces behind the crusade were two Popes who broke new ground in the mistreatment of the Jews – Innocent III and his successor, Honorius III. One of their most infamous innovations was the creation of “the Jew Badge,” which usually took the form of circle or square of saffron yellow cloth. The Crusade itself was a debacle and the forces of Islam continued to hold onto Jerusalem. Given a choice, at this time, for the Jews this outcome was the lesser of two evils.[4]
May 24, 1241(5001): The community of Frankfort-on-Main was attacked after Jews tried to prevent a child from being baptized. As a result, a number of townspeople were killed. Seeing no option the Jews set fire to their houses. The fire spread to the rest of the community destroying nearly half the city. One hundred and eighty Jews died while twenty-four agreed to be baptized.[5]
May 24, 1293 (5053): Rabbi Meir of Rothenberg passed away. Born circa 1225, he was the last of the Tosophists and the leading Rabbi in Germany. Convinced that there was no future in Germany, he agreed to lead a large contingent of families to Eretz-Israel. While waiting for the other families, he was seized by the Bishop of Bas. The Emperor ordered him held in prison as a lesson to any of "his Jews" who would try to leave Germany and thus cause him financial loss. He refused to be ransomed, saying that it would serve as an impetus for further extortion. He died in a prison near Colmar, and his body was held there until it was ransomed some years later.[6]
1294: Death of Roger Bacon – greatest scientist of his time, Death of Kublai Khan the Governor of China and Mongolia, Hanseatic cities recognize Lubeck as their leading member, Death of Kublai Khan, Celestine V the hermit Peter of Morrone named Pope – resigns after five months, Boniface VIII named pope – lawyer diplomat and practiser of magic arts to 1303, Kblai Khan dies,. [7]
May 24, 1406: The mayor and council of Kenzingen are asking for Master Heinrich for deferment regarding a suit at the court of Rottweil.[8]

Nicolaus Copernicus (German: Nikolaus Kopernikus; Italian: Nicolò Copernico; Polish: About this soundMikołaj Kopernik (help·info)) (February 19, 1473 – May 24,1543) was a Renaissance astronomer and the first person to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology which displaced the Earth from the center of the universe.[1]
Copernicus' epochal book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), published just before his death in 1543, is often regarded as the starting point of modern astronomy and the defining epiphany that began the scientific revolution. His heliocentric model, with the Sun at the center of the universe, demonstrated that the observed motions of celestial objects can be explained without putting Earth at rest in the center of the universe. His work stimulated further scientific investigations, becoming a landmark in the history of science that is often referred to as the Copernican Revolution.[9]
May 24, 1635: Richard Smith (b. May 24, 1635).[10]
May 24, 1738: On a day now celebrated annually by Methodists as Aldersgate Day, John Wesley is converted, essentially launching the Methodist movement. According to Building New Bridges in Hope the official statement of the United Methodist Church on Christian-Jewish relations, “Christians and Jews are bound to God though biblical covenants that are eternally valid… that God has continued, and continues today, to work through Judaism and the Jewish people.[11]
Friday May 24, 1754:
The regiment arrives at the Great Meadows and sets up camp within an angle formed by two streams, (Great Meadow Run and Indian Run). It took almost 4 weeks to cut the road over the mountains from Wills Creek. By the modern highway, it takes us an hour to drive this distance.[12]
May 24, 1754
On the 24th when the column was a few miles southeast of the Meadow, two Indian runners came in from the Ohio with a message from the Half-King saying that “the French army” was already on the march from Fort du Quesne to meet the advancing force of Washington, and also notifying him that Tanacharison and the other chiefs would soon be with him to hold council, Washington had requested in the dispatch sent to him from Wills’ Creek.
On the same afternoon that the troops arrived at the Great Meadows, a trader came in saying that he had come from Gist’s, where the evening before he had seen two Frenchmen; he also knew that a strong French force was in the vicinity of Stewart’s Crossings on the Youghioghany. This report confirmed the news received from the Half-King, and thereupon Washington decided to remain for atime at the Meadows, and avail himself of the advantage offered by the position. There were here, as he said in his notes, “two natural intrenchments,” which he caused to be strengthened some extent artificially, and within these slight defenses he placed apart of the troops with the wagons. Probably he never afterwards used so unmilitary an adjective in describing the construction and surroundings of a fortification.[13]
May 24, 1780
The 24th. In the afternoon some sixty loyal inhabitants arrived from the mountains demanding officers, arms, and ammunition to serve the King and take revenge on their neighbors, who had oppressed them very much up to now. They asserted that a great number of their comrades had already gone over to Lord Cornwallis.—I do not trust these people, for what can such a handful of men undertake? I believe they are carrying out a deception to obtain arms and ammunition and to use them against us. It is said that Major Ferguson has volunteered to lead these people. [14]
May 24, 1780
On the 27th General Kospoth marched back with the above-mentioned corps, and the light infantry arrived back at the siege corps on the 28th. [15]
Friday morning, May 24, 1782
The volunteers had not all crossed the river until Friday morning, the 24th, they then distributed themselves into eighteen companies, choosing their captains by vote. There were chosen also, one Col. Commandant, four field and one brigadier Major.
Theire were four hundred and sixty-five that voted.[16]
May 24, 1782
Colonel Crawford to Irvine
Mingo Bottom,[17] May 24th, 1782
Dear General: Yours of the 20th was handed me by Major Rose, for which I am much obliged to you.
After much confusion in crossing the river [Ohio], having only four small canoes to ferry over men, horses and baggage, we this day got over four hundred and sixty-eight men and to-morrow morning at eight o’clock we are to march; which I hope will be done. I shall endeavor to do all in my power for the good of my country; but, as those whom I command are volunteers and subject to alter thir minds, I can only say I will do all I can for the best, and as far as I can. The whole at present seem determined to fight; and I am resolved they shall have an opportunity if I can [give them one] with a color of success. I shall take every precaution to prevent being surprised or getting into confusion.
Should it so happen that I can write to you before I return, I will
I humbly thank you for favoring me with Major Rose, as he will be of great service to me.[18][19]
May 24, Colonel William Crawford arrived at Mingo Bottom. He was chosen commander by the volunteers, mostly men from east of the Monongahela River in Fayette County, except for one company from Ten Mile settlement in Washington and Franklin counties.[20]
Of the men who went upon the expedition, we have the rolls of sixteen of the eighteen detachments of companies. About two thirds of the troops were from Washington county, and with possibly the exception of one company, the rest were from Westmoreland county, under which we place the entire force.

May 24th 1782.—The whole party had crossed the Ohio, and elected Col: Wm Crawford at the old Mingo Town the Commander of their Volunteer expedition. Col. Williamson was chosen Second in Command—Col. Gattis third M’Clellan fourth, & Brenton fifth in Command—there were 465 Voters at the election.
the troops were exercised according to a plan proposed for our march. Viz:
the advance was commanded by Col. Williamson—The Rear by Col. Gattis. M’Clellan commanded the Right Wing of the Main Body & Brenton the left.
The strength of the different Companies was as follows:
[24]
[May 24, 1782—Friday]
Although the rendezvous of volunteer troops to march against the Sandusky Towns was scheduled for May 20 and many men had shown up that day, it had taken until today for everyone to arrive and for the army to form itself into an organized unit of close to 500 men. Everyone participating had brought his own horse, gun and supplies for a month. Even Col. Crawford had to buy a new, sturdier horse. That more men would continue to show up, even after the army began its 150-mile march, and follow the force in an effort to overtake and join it, was a foregone conclusion.[25]
The initial groups of mounted men arrived and rendezvoused on the left bank the east, or Virginia side of the Ohio River and crossed over the fording place individually and in small clusters to the expansive Mingo Bottom where the Indian trail led westward. The army that formed was not made up largely of border ruffian types. To the contrary, though none were in any kind of uniform and most wore long hunting shirts belted at the waist and soft-brimmed hats and some, such as Pvt. John Hays, looked almost Indian in their breechclouts and leggings, quite a significant number of the volunteers had ample experience as frontline veterans of the regulars who had served at the battles of Quebec, Germantown, Brandywine, Saratoga, Trenton, Monmouth, Princeton and Yorktown. Some had served in Clark’s campaign against Kaskaskia, Cahokia and Vincennes and others had suffered the terrible winter at Valley Forge under Washington. Quite a few had served as scouts and spies in the border patrols of the upper Ohio to protect the settlers and had helped defend the settlements when necessary.
A certain number of the militiamen, especially those of means, who as bona fide members of the militia were required to answer the call to accompany the expedition had, instead, hired standins to march and fight in their place—a practice entirely legal, provided one had the means for doing so and could locate an uncommitted individual avaricious enough to become stand-in for a fee. Among those who availed themselves of this practice were William Rowe, whose substitute was William Orr, and John McCaddon who hired Aaron Longstreet. Richard Elson sent his Negro slave, Sam, to fight in his stead. Elson was not the only one to take this permissible way out of risking his own life, even though it was generally looked upon askance. Most of the men, however, felt honor-bound to answer their militia call to duty without attempts at evasion because it was a matter of personal pride and integrity to do so.
A number of the notable border men were not on hand for the rendezvous. Among them were Capt. Samuel Brady and most of his Rangers. Realizing the necessity of continuing to protect the frontier in case bands of Indians should attempt to make raids while the majority of the men were gone on the expedition, Brady and his men were exempted from serving on the campaign, although Peter Parchment elected to go anyway. Other upper Ohio residents simply chose not to go, among them the Tomlinson boys and the Wetzels. Lewis Wetzel scoffed when asked if he was going along. “Me?” he snorted. “Reckon when it comes t’killin’ Injens, I’ll do it in my own way an’ in my own time.”
So, with the majority of the men assembled, the election of officers was begun. Two men were especially favored for the top command spot—Col. David Williamson and Col. William Crawford. Williamson was undeniably the popular choice for the command, but Gen. Irvine wanted no repetition of the rashness, poor leadership and insensitivity that Williamson had exhibited in the Moravian campaign. Thus, for the past several weeks Gen. Irvine, in a more or less clandestine manner, had brought to bear considerable influence among the more prominent men who would accompany the expedition, that when it came time to elect the officers for the campaign, William Crawford be named to the top command. By the time of the rendezvous, Irvine had little lingering doubt that the selection for leadership would ultimately fall to the man of his own choice. Nevertheless Gen. Irvine’s letter of instructions for the design and comportment of the campaign was addressed To the Officer who will be appointed to command a detachment of Volunteer militia on an expedition against the Indian town at or near Sandusky, and it said, among the variety of details covered:
The object of your command is to destroy with fire and sword if practicable), then you will doubtless perform such other services in your power as will, in their consequences, have a tendency to answer this great end.
Knowing and respecting Crawford as a seasoned veteran officer of the Continental line, Irvine was prepared to give him written instructions in regard to the comportment of the troops and to leave no question this time as to whether the campaign had official authorization. Yet, despite his confidence in the man, Irvine also meant to have a close watch kept on Crawford and to be provided with a full and very accurate report of his activities and those of the army at the close of the campaign. To this end, Gen. Irvine magnanimously loaned his own aide, Maj. John Rose, to Crawford to act as Crawford’s aide-dc-camp. He also honored Crawford’s request to have his old friend, Dr. John Knight, as surgeon for the campaign.
Maj. Rose, 29, who was actually a Russian fugitive and soldier of fortune named Gustavus Heinrich de Rosenthal, was instructed by Gen. Irvine to record surreptitiously everything about the campaign. He elected to do so by the expedient of innocently keeping a comprehensive daily journal, which would later provide him a fitting resource for filing the full report that Gen. Irvine wished. Accompanying Rose was a Negro slave named Henry, who belonged to Gen. Irvine and worked for him at Fort Pitt as a vegetable gardener, tending the commander’s prized little plot of peas and asparagus. Irvine loaned Henry to Rose as valet and servant during the campaign. The prominent men who had been influenced by Gen. Irvine in turn swayed many of the men who had gathered at the rendezvous. As it was, the election was very close, and despite Irvine’s influence, Crawford was elected as colonel commanding by only five votes over Williamson; the latter was elected to the rank of major and named second-in-command.[26]
The force was to be divided into four battalions, each commanded by a field major. Williamson—though still addressed by most of the men by his militia rank of colonel—was one of those, along with Thomas Gaddis, John McClelland and John Brinton, the latter three named third, fourth and fifth in command of the army respectively. Crawford’s aide-de-camp, John Rose, was elected adjutant with rank of major, while Daniel Leet[27], a chunky man of medium height but weighing more than 200 pounds, was elected brigade major. The brigade surgeon was Dr. John Knight, who carried his array of surgical instruments in saddlebags. The three guides for the expedition were Jonathan Zane, John Slover and Thomas Nicholson.
Now came the matter of troop organization. The nearly 500 men on hand distributed themselves into 18 companies. There were a great many among the volunteers who had two or three or even more relatives in this army. Even Col. Crawford had three, including his son John; a namesake nephew, William Crawford, who was son of his brother, Valentine; and a son-in-law named William Harrison. All immediate family members—fathers and sons and brothers—as well as other kinsmen and even neighbors, by general agreement, were divided into separate units, the reasoning being that if any single company was hit hard by the enemy and suffered great loss, no single family would be wiped out or their home neighborhood left defenseless by the loss of all its able men. Each of the 18 companies thereupon voted again, and each elected a company commander with the rank of captain, plus a second and third in command ranked, respectively, as lieutenant and ensign. There was one exception to the process of separation of kinsmen: Capt. John Hardin, Sr., a bullheaded miller, elected as one of the company commanders, refused to let his family be separated from him, and so they all stayed together in a company of only 12 men. Because of his dictatorial nature among his employees at his mill and his notorious rashness on past expeditions, few of the other men assembled would agree to join Hardin’s company, certain he would lead them into the worst possible danger.
With the army now well formed, the commander issued orders for it to begin its march at ten o’clock on the morrow. [28]

May 24th, 1782
C. is a man of Sixty and upwards. Blessed with a constitution that may be called robust for his age. Inured to fatigue from his childhood, and by repeated campaigns against the Indians acquainted with their manner of engaging—In his private Life, kind and exceedingly affectionate; in his military character, personally Brave, and patient of hardships—As a partizan, too cautious, & frightened at appearances; always calcu1ating the chances against. Consequently, By np means, calculated for its hazardous enterprizes—As a Commanding Officer, cool in danger, but not systematical. Like others in the same stations, he wanted to be all in all: by trusting everything to the performance of his own abilities only, everything was but half done, and Everybody was disgusted. At other times he had it in common with others of that class, to commit to the charge of a Sarjeant, [sic] what ought to be executed by a Field officer, & vice versa.—At a council: he speaks incoherent, proposes matters confusedly, and is incapable of persuading people into his opinion, or making use of their Weak sides for his purposes. He is somewhat capricious: yet easily & indiscriminately led by people, who have once gained an ascendency over him—Jealous of his military Knowledge, & Superiority, but a mere quack in the profession of a Soldier. No military Genius; & no man of Letters—
W. is brave as Ceasar and active: but divested of conduct. Fond of thrusting himself into danger, he leaves everythng else to chance—He has some obscure notions of military matters, suggested to him by mere Genius: but is quite ignorant how to dispose of men, or how to fight them to advantage. He knows too well how high he is in the opinion of the people in general, and among these he takes upon himself the airs of a man of consequence: However he is open to advice and instructions.—His Oratory is suited to the taste of the people his countrymen, and their Bigotted notions stand him in lieu of arguments. It is a pity but he had military opportunities of instruction, as his natural talents are not despicable, and his youthly heat might prove the bane of the Country—
U. is like the greatest part of Mankind, not possessed of any extraordinary qualifications—But withall, a good Officer Attentive to regularity on a march, and not wanting of personal bravery—Performs his duty with chearfuilness, and obeys Orders without murmuring.
M.—is-----.
B. Our Best Field Officer. He has imbibed very good notions of military matters, founded upon praxise [sic] in Indian Wars. He is schemy in an engagement—Quite brave enough, to lead his men into action—and not wanting of resources to extricate himself out of danger, and discern it before hand—
H. is a polished Cis-Allyhanian and bears a respected character as a Civilian: but is by no means formed, to face the dangers consequential to War. Depressed, and quite incapable of extricating himself out of a perillous situation by a grand effort. He does not try even to strugle against adversities. Our military operations were too much influenced by his timorous disposition. He is very clever and sensible, and would make an excellent duty Officer. He was without doubt the Best Man, we could have pitched upon, for his post, considering &c (cnteribus paribus).
L. is too easy and neglectfull for his post, though the only man, any ways acquainted with duty. He is allowed to have behaved with much Bravery; yet, I believe, unnecessarily so. Certainly a remark against his prudence—
Upon these Volunteer Expeditions every Man almost appears on Horseback; but he takes care to mount the very worst horse he has upon his farm. this horse he loads with at least as much provisions as he is well able to carry. No man calculates the distance ‘he is going, or how long he can possibly be absent. As he has provisions enough to maintain at least three Men on the Campaign, he does not stint himself to a certain allowance. Lol’ing all day unemployed upon his horse, his only amusement is chewing, particularly as all noise in talking, singing & whistling is prohibited.— But the horses whose strength is allready inadequate to the load of Bread bacon & Whiskey imposed on them, are besides all this obliged to carry a heavy rider up & down hill (for he never alights) & break a path through Weeds & thickets. No wonder, so many tire—no wonder, rapid marches can not be performed. this was the case with us. [31]
XTI.—LIEUT. JOHN ROSE[32] TO IRVINE.
MING0 Bottom, Friday, May 24, 1782.
Sir:— The Mingo bottom is not a very long day’s journey from Fort Pitt. Notwithstanding, I did not arrive here until the next day, late in the afternoon. I found everybody crossing, with the utmost expedition, the Ohio; and I myself pushed over immediately after my arrival. My fears that the present expedition would miscarry have been dispelled this very moinent only. Colonels [David] Williamson and [William] Crawford did seem to have numerous and obstinate adherents. The latter carried the election this day but by five votes; and I cannot but give Colonel Williamson the utmost credit for his exhorting the whole to be unanimous after the election had been made known, and cheerfully submitted to he second in command. I think if it had been otherwise, Crawford would have pushed home and very likely we should have dispersed; which would have been likewise the case if Williamson had not behaved with so much prudence. One Colonel [Thomas] Gaddis is third in command; Colonel [John] McClelland, fourth; and Major [James] Brenton, fifth in cornmand.
My presence caused, seemingly, uneasiness. It was surmised I had been sent to take command. An open declaration of mine, at a meeting of the officers, that I did not intend to take upon me any command of any kind whatsoever but to act as an aid-de-camp to the commanding officer, seemed to pacify everything, and all goes on charmingly. We expect to set out early to-morrow morning and are only detained by the want of some ammunition which has been sent for yesterday to McIntosh. We march, as you know, in four columns, etc. Our number is actually 480[33] men,— young, active, and seemingly spirited. .1 have the most sanguine hopes of our undertaking and am very sorry Colonel [Jame~] Marshel [lieutenant of Washington county] does not march with us, who was within three or four votes of being third commander. I think him very popular, as much so as Colonel Williamson.
The report of an attack from the enemy upon the Rapids [Louisville, Kentucky] seems a mere invention. The men said to come from there have not been seen by anybody.
Major [William] Pollock has furnished me and Dr. Knight forty-five pounds of bacon. I cannot persuade him to take any pay for it, but a mere receipt. I do not understand upon what principles they furnish these articles.
I must beg the favor of you to receive my half-boots from Patrick Leonard and one pair of shoes, as I am already almost barefooted. [34]
May 24, 1783
The following are the most noteworthy events that took place between the 24th of May and this morning: The captive troops of Lord Cornwallis’s army continued to arrive on Staten Island up till the 27th of May. Major Scheer is greatly worried about having had 240 deserters since his departure from Fredericktown, namely, 136 in the Erb Prinz Regiment and 104 in von Bose’s, The Anspachers had 512, and the British, because of their greater number, had even more. These desertions are due only to the scattering of printed invitations and previous persuasion on the part of the inhabitants, who have resorted to every possible inducement.[35]

Queen Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria; May 24, 1819 – January 22, 1901) was the monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from June 20, 1837 until her death. From May 1, 1876, she used the additional title of Empress of India.
Victoria was the daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of King George III. Both the Duke of Kent and King George III died in 1820, and Victoria was raised under close supervision by her German-born mother Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. She inherited the throne at the age of 18, after her father's three elder brothers had all died leaving no legitimate, surviving children. The United Kingdom was already an established constitutional monarchy, in which the Sovereign held relatively little direct political power. Privately, Victoria attempted to influence government policy and ministerial appointments. Publicly, she became a national icon, and was identified with strict standards of personal morality.
Victoria married her first cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, in 1840. Their nine children married into royal and noble families across the continent, tying them together and earning her the nickname "the grandmother of Europe". After Albert's death in 1861, Victoria plunged into deep mourning and avoided public appearances. As a result of her seclusion, republicanism temporarily gained strength, but in the latter half of her reign, her popularity recovered. Her Golden and Diamond Jubilees were times of public celebration.
Her reign of 63 years and seven months, which is longer than that of any other British monarch and the longest of any female monarch in history, is known as the Victorian era. It was a period of industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire. She was the last British monarch of the House of Hanover. Her son and successor, Edward VII, belonged to the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the line of his father.

Victoria's father was Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of the reigning King of the United Kingdom, George III. Until 1817, Edward's niece, Princess Charlotte of Wales, was the only legitimate grandchild of George III. Her death in 1817 precipitated a succession crisis in the United Kingdom that brought pressure on the Duke of Kent and his unmarried brothers to marry and have children. In 1818, the Duke married Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, a German princess whose brother Leopold was the widower of Princess Charlotte. The Duke and Duchess of Kent's only child, Victoria, was born at 4.15 a.m. on May 24, 1819 at Kensington Palace in London.[1] The Duchess of Kent already had two children – Prince Carl of Leiningen (1804–1856) and Princess Feodora of Leiningen (1807–1872), by her first marriage to Prince Emich Carl of Leiningen (1763–1814).
Princess Alexandrina Victoria was christened privately by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Charles Manners-Sutton, on June 24, 1819 in the Cupola Room at Kensington Palace.[2] She was baptised Alexandrina, after one of her godparents, Emperor Alexander I of Russia, and Victoria after her mother. Additional names proposed by her parents—Georgina (or Georgiana), Charlotte and Augusta—were dropped on the instructions of the Duke's elder brother, the Prince Regent (later George IV).[3]
At birth, Victoria was fifth in the line of succession after her father and his three older brothers: the Prince Regent, the Duke of York, and the Duke of Clarence (later William IV).[4] The Prince Regent and the Duke of York were estranged from their wives, who were both past child-bearing age, so the two eldest brothers were unlikely to have any further children. The Dukes of Kent and Clarence married on the same day 12 months before Victoria's birth, but both of Clarence's daughters (born in 1819 and 1820 respectively) died as infants. Victoria's grandfather and father died in 1820, within a week of each other, and the Duke of York died in 1827. On the death of her uncle George IV in 1830, Victoria became heiress presumptive to her next surviving uncle, William IV. The Regency Act 1830 made special provision for the Duchess of Kent to act as regent in case William died while Victoria was still a minor.[5] King William distrusted the Duchess's capacity to be regent, and in 1836 declared in her presence that he wanted to live until Victoria's 18th birthday, so that a regency could be avoided.[6]

About 1820 a mill was also constructed for them for the grinding of their grain. This mill was in use many years hence and today it stands, well kept, as a memorial to the Wyandot tribe and the early days of the white people’s settlements.[38]
1820 OH Census Clark CO. Moorefield TWP 015 (Conrad Goodlove) We should look at this census to get a clearer picture of who is in Moorefield at this time. JG.
1 John’s relationship to Francis is suggested by the absence of other Godloves in the U. S. in this period and by his association with Francis’ children Adam Godlove and Catherine Younkin. John resided in Bearfield Township, Perry County, by 1820 and was joined there by Adam and Catherine. Adam and Catherine moved to Washington County, Iowa, in 1844 and John joined them after 1860. (Some descendants of Adam Godlove and Catherine Godlove Younkin claim John as the father of Adam and Catherine, a logical inference from the purported 1777 birth date for John and their proximity in Perry County and Washington County, but this is contradicted by the combination of evidence in the deeds by which Francis’ heirs disposed on his real estate and by the will of Barbara Godlove.) In addition, others of Francis’ children went to southeast Ohio: Sarah Cheshire to Hocking Co. (by 1850 the sons of Sarah had established residences near John in Perry Co.); Margaret Spaid and Joseph Godlove in Guernsey Co. (Joseph then went to Delaware Co., IN). [39]
Francis Godlove and Samuel Cheshire were neighbors. In the 1820 census, Francis Cuttloaf is on page 222A and Samuel Chesser is on page 223A. Sarah’s association with another likely daughter of Francis is found in her 1852 petition: two of the
witnesses for Sarah were Margaret (Godlove) Spaid and her son Harrison Spaid. [40]

May 24, 1824: Andrew Jackson obtained a leave of absence for remainder of Senate session. [42]
May 24, 1856: The company consisted of John Brown, four of his sons—Frederick, Owen, Salmon, and Oliver—Thomas Weiner, and James Townsley, whom John had induced to carry the party in his wagon to their proposed field of operations.
They encamped that night between two deep ravines on the edge of the timber, some distance to the right of the main traveled road. There they remained unobserved until the following evening of May 24. Some time after dark, the party left their place of hiding and proceeded on their "secret expedition". Late in the evening, they called at the house of James P. Doyle and ordered him and his two adult sons, William and Drury (all former slave catchers) to go with them as prisoners. (Doyle's 16-year-old son, John, who was not a member of the pro-slavery Law and Order Party, was left with his mother.) The three men were escorted by their captors out into the darkness, where Owen Brown and one of his brothers killed them with broadswords. John Brown, Sr. did not participate in the stabbing but fired a shot into the head of the fallen James Doyle to ensure he was dead.
Brown and his band then went to the house of Allen Wilkinson and ordered him out. He was slashed and stabbed to death by Henry Thompson and Theodore Winer, possibly with help from Brown's sons.[5] From there, they crossed the Pottawatomie, and some time after midnight, forced their way into the cabin of James Harris at sword-point. Harris had three house guests: John S. Wightman, Jerome Glanville, and William Sherman, the brother of Henry Sherman ("Dutch Henry"), a militant pro-slavery activist. Glanville and Harris were taken outside for interrogation and asked whether they had threatened Free State settlers, aided Border Ruffians from Missouri, or participated in the sack of Lawrence. Satisfied with their answers, Brown's men let Glanville and Harris return to the cabin. William Sherman was led to the edge of the creek and hacked to death with the swords by Winer, Thompson, and Brown's sons.[6]
Having learned at Harris's cabin that "Dutch Henry", their main target in the expedition, was away from home on the prairie, they ended the expedition and returned to the ravine where they had previously encamped.[43]
May 24, 1861: Colonel Daniel Butterfield of the 12th New York Militia led his men across Washington’s Long Bridge before dawn. That made him the first Federal commander to set foot on Confederated soil during the hostilities. Throughout the North, the man remembered as the composer of “Taps” was hailed as a hero.[44]

May 24, 1901
Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill (1874-1965) was initiated into the Studholme Lodge No. 1591 on May 24th, 1901. He came from a family of Freemasons.[49]
May 24, 1943: Rutkowski made the further mistake of including a convoy of 1,740 persons on May 24, 1943, which also supposedly wento to Sobibor. This list, number 54, is merely a list of Drancy inmates, and in verifying the names, we realized that the majority were deported in later convoys. This list was probably the result of the arrival of Captain Alois Brunner with a special commando of Austrian SS as reenforcements for Rothke. Document CCXXI-19, “situation as of July 15,” relates that “at the beginning of June, Haupstrmfuihrer Breonner nbegan to take a greater interest in the camp of Drancy. He visited the camp… during his various visits he personally proceeded in a hightly summary fashion to interrogate 1,500 inmates out of 2,500. The first selection of the inmates resulted in the deportation of 1,002 of them towards the East on June 23, 1943.
We have a letter written in pencil and thrown from one of the cars of this convoy:
“In the boxcar, on the way to Metz.
Dear friends, last night we slept 100 in a room in Drancy, where we were placed after the search. Some of the people were transported by stretcher. All pell-mell, sleeping on the floor…we are 50 to a cattle-car, sitting on the floor or on our baggage. It is impossible to move. Three people escaped by jumping from a train moving at 40 to 50 mph. We don’t know if they are safe. The tell us we are going towards Mets, where there will be a selection… I am strong in spite of the terrible heat, without any facilities or water.”
The condition on this trip were reported (XLIX-8) June 28 by the head of the escort, who confirmed the three escapes—at 1 PM, 40 miles from Epernay==in the heat, which had forced the guard to open the doors of the wagons a bit. (For further description, see J. Cremieux-Dunand, pp. 88-100.)
The list for Convoy 55 is in poor condition. Among the nationalities, more than 200 were undetermined, mostly of Polish origin. In addition, there were 382 French, many of whom were naturalized; 245 Poles; 67 Russians; 36 Dutch; 24 Greeks; 16 Belgians; and 13 Czechs. It shows 561 males and 457 females, including 160 children under 18.
The list also includes thirteen babies.
The routine telex indicated that the convoy left on June 23 at 10 AM, with 1,002 Jews. It was under the supervision of Meister der Schutzpolizei, Richard Urban, with 20 men..
Paulette Swiczarczyk reported on te arrival at Auschwitz: “There, heartrending scenes surpassing anything one could imagine. Young mothers whose children are snatched out of their arms to the accompaniment of screams…” Upon arrival, 283 men were selected and assigned numbers 125858 through 126240; 217 women were assigned numbers 46537 through 46753.
In 1945 there were 86 survivors; 44 were women.
Alois Brunner, one of Eichmann’s most effective lieutenants. In June, 1943, he took over the administration of Drancy. Convoy 55 was the first he sent to Auschwitz. He organized a special commando that arrested Jews all over France, but especially in Nice where Jews had been protected by the Italians until September, 1943. Brunner was located in Damscus, Syria and his presence was protested there in June, 1982.[50]
On board Convoy 55 was Albert Gottlieb, born December 24, 1894 from Fridlda, (Stateless), and Aurelie Gottlieb, born June 11, 1892 in Lvov. (Polish for Lviv, a major city in western Ukraine. [51]
May 24-June 3, 1944 : The
Jews of Oradea are deported, mainly to Auschwitz.[52]
May 24, 1998: Edward Rothstein. "DNA Teaches History a Few Lessons of Its Own." The New York Times "Week in Review" (May 24, 1998). Excerpts:
"Last year, for example, Michael Hammer, a geneticist at the University of Arizona, showed that a genetic analysis of the Y chromosomes of Jewish men who ritualistically identified themselves as descendants of the Biblical High Priest Aaron and are known as Cohanim showed a high transmission of markers that were less prevalent among Jews who did not identify as Cohanim. This was evidence, Hammer said, of the accuracy of the oral tradition."

But at five minutes before 8 a.m. the serenity of the tropical naval port of Pearl Harbor where Howard Snell, an 18-year-old Navy recruit was stationed, exploded from its weekend relaxation into a frenzied scramble to arms.
It was Dec. 7, 1941, and the ensuing melee that Snell abruptly found unfolding around him was the first wave of Japanese aircraft attacking the harbor.
"Because it was Sunday, I didn't have any duties," said Snell, who now lives in Pearland. "I had eaten breakfast that morning and then went outside just as the commotion began when a terrific explosion blew apart the (USS) Arizona."
It wasn't until Snell saw the red sun on the side of the planes that he knew it was a Japanese attack.
Some people have spent lifetimes dealing with the memories made 60 years ago. Many veterans and their families are anticipating the upcoming release of a major motion picture, aptly titled Pearl Harbor, that re-enacts the day's tragic and heroic events.
On Sunday at 2 p.m. at the AMC Deerbrook 24 Theaters in Humble, Reba Watson, whose father was a Pearl Harbor survivor, is bringing together other survivors and their families from throughout the Greater Houston area for a showing of the movie.
"Right now we are just trying to get the word out to the survivors and their families," Watson said. "We had the cost of some of the tickets to the movie donated to us by the manager of Deerbrook Mall."
Watson, who is a member of the Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, said she is organizing the event to honor men and women like her father who were present at the attack.
"I think that is the hope for this movie as well," she said. "I wanted to create an event that would allow them (the survivors) to come together. We are trying to keep this history alive so that people don't forget what happened there."
Snell, who will be attending the screening, also has dedicated much of his time to preserving the memory of Pearl Harbor.
He spent 21 years in naval service after the attack before retiring from a position in naval intelligence. He is now president of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association's San Jacinto Chapter and chairman of the association's Texas division.
"I am working on contacting all of the members from the San Jacinto Chapter to get them to attend. There will probably not be any speeches, just an opportunity to get together with your shipmates and other survivors."
Snell said he takes great pride in his service with the association and plans to remain active in it as long as he can.
"It allows me to represent a great bunch of people who survived the attack on Pearl Harbor and the nearly 2,000 people who died that morning," he said. "It is to let the people in this great country know that there is a place called Pearl Harbor. We were able to win the war because we had the people on the home front backing us up because of the attack."
Snell said there are about 475 Pearl Harbor survivors in Texas and 78 in the Greater Houston area.
For more information regarding the event, call Watson at 281-446-3928.

[22] Margaret Thomas [see Thomas], wife of Everhart Hupp, was the first known white woman to live west of the Monongahela River. They had eleven children. Their home was a gathering place for men of the settlement of Sandy Plains. The hospitality was extended to white and red men alike. They brought their game for Margaret to prepare when they tired of their own cooking. George Washington is said to have visited on one of his western trips [Bower].
Everhart lived there until his death. Everhart is reported to have died in 1824 by Crimrine (p.765), however the 1830 census list him alive in the East Bethlehem Township. The house was dismantled in the late 1920's by a coal company and hauled down the hill to build houses for miners. The home was a simple two story log structure with two front doors, such as two smaller log homes joined together [Bower; picture p.13].
During May 1782, Lieutenant Everhart Hupp served under Col. Crawford fighting Indians on the Sandusky Expedition [Pa. Archives, 6th ser., Vol. 11]. During the Revolutionary War, Everhart served for a time as a lieutenant in Captain Sweeny's Company, Fifth Battalion of the Washington County Militia [Leckey]. Everhart is an ancestor of the Clarksville, Pennsylvania Hupps. http://mysite.verizon.net/olinh/page1.htm

[25] The term army in reference to the force of men who marched against the Sandusky Towns is not strictly correct but is used for convenience. It was not truly an army as strict military terminology defines such a body but rather, like other volunteer forces of the frontier, a collection of men mustered and formed into units, each unit usually from a specific geographical area, and whose officers were chosen at the site of rendezvous through popular election among the volunteers. The makeup of the Crawford Army, as it came to be known, is shown here as compiled from lists published in Pennsylvania Archives, 2nd Series (Harrisburg, 1888) and Pennsylvania Archives, 6th Series (Harrisburg, 1906). The most accurate accounting of this force may be found in the article by Parker B. Brown entitled “Reconstructing Crawford’s Army of 1782” in The Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine, vol. 65, no. 1 (January1982). Brown states that by the evening of May 24 a total of 485 men had arrived at the rendezvous, but that by the time the army reached its destination, the whole force apparently amounted to 583 men.
[26] David Williamson, after the election, is reported to have said that he “preferred Crawford should be chosen, as he is the oldest man.” Both men had the militia rank of colonel and, though Williamson was named as a major for this expedition, virtually everyone continued to refer to him as colonel. To avoid confusion, the rank of colonel will be used in reference to Williamson throughout this campaign.

The 1782 Volunteer Militia from Washington County, Pa
And their 92 Moravian Indian victims
By George C. Williston.
Pvt. Daniel Leet ? from the 1888 list only- settled land in Franklin and Chartiers Creek in 1773 and at Catfish Camp [now Washington, Pa] in 1776- is said to have been a Revolutionary officer (other than militia) ? was a Sub- Lieutenant of Washington County appointed 2 April, 1781 but resigned that office on 30 March, 1782 - is listed in Cecil Township in 1783; RBE sold 120 acres on ?Shirtee? Creek [Chartiers] in 1784;? taxed in Pitt Township of Allegheny County in 1791 ?is buried in Allegheny County. As sub-lieutenant would have been along with Matthew Ritchie the second highest ranking Washington County militia officer on the expedition going as a private when he had the militia rank of Major;
EF says? a surveyor by profession; settled near Catfish Camp in 1776 after which he served in the Continental Line, and with General McIntosh at Fort Laurens in 1778; Deputy Surveyor General in Yohogania, now Washington County; surveyed in this county in 1780 under Virginia certificates; Brigade Major in Crawford?s Expedition; commanded a division after Colonel Burton was wounded; died 18 June, 1830, at the home of a daughter at Sewickly Bottom;? PMA- says that Daniel Leet was a friend of General Washington and a Major in the Continental Army where he had a distinguished career. It is fully possible that this Daniel Leet was a surveyor for the Ohio Company of Virginia hoping to ensure land for top men of Virginia including George Washington and George Mason.[46]
Could this be the same man who is credited with this career as an officer in the Revolution: ?acted as quartermaster from 1 Jan,1777 to 1 Oct, 1777 and as paymaster from this latter date to 21 Sept, 1778, then as Brigade-Major for three months, to 21 Dec, 1778. He received 5333 1/2 acres of land from the State of Virginia (as bounty).?[47]
Forrest says in the material quoted above that he was from Bordentown, New Jersey and had married Wilhelmina Carson. This seems to conflict with information from Louise M. Mohler which says that the Leets were from Berkley Co, Va.
A remark from an 1881 letter from the local historian, Isaac Craig to historian Boyd Crumrine, [48] has to be passed along although not otherwise corroborated ?I have heard that Daniel Leet was the man who first used the mallet.? If this means that the man with the second highest political and military position on the raid going as a Private began the killing with a cooper?s mallet as this alleges he set a very bad example for most of the men who had less prestige. Is this the unnamed man who actually killed 13 people before he quit as reported in Washington County histories?
If Daniel Leet committed that disgraceful first murdering it is no wonder that he later resigned his position as a Sub-Lieutenant of Washington County. It is also no wonder that the murders were done or that the story of the massacre was covered up from the public. Daniel Leet and the other influential men on this expedition who were politically and militarily powerful whom other men would either have followed or by whom they would be intimidated.

[32] Rose, it will be remembered, was aid-cle-camp to Irvine.
[33] In Crawford’s letter just given the number is stated at 468 that had then got over the river, but Rose’s letter was, probably, written later in the day, when 12 more had succeeded in crossing.
[34] This letter gives much information concerning the organization of the e~pedition against Sandusky not obtainable from other sources. It was written at the Mingo bottom, on the west side of the Ohio, in what is now Jefferson county, Ohio, not far below Steubenville, as was the previous letter by Col. Crawford.
