September 24, 366 - Liberius ends his reign as Catholic Pope[1]
September 24, 768: On the death of Pepin, September 24, 768, the kingship passed jointly to his sons, "with divine assent" (divino nutu).[16] According to the Life, Pepin died in Paris. The Franks "in general assembly" (generali conventu) gave them both the rank of king (reges) but "partitioned the whole body of the kingdom equally" (totum regni corpus ex aequo partirentur). The annals[18] tell a slightly different version. The king died at St. Denis, which is, however, still in Paris. The two "lords" (domni) were "elevated to kingship" (elevati sunt in regnum), Carolus on October 9 in Noyon, Carloman on an unspecified date in Soissons. If born in 742, Carolus was 26 years old, but he had been campaigning at his father's right hand for several years, which may help to account for his military skill and genius. Carloman was 17.
The language in either case suggests that there were not two inheritances, which would have created distinct kings ruling over distinct kingdoms, but a single joint inheritance and a joint kingship tenanted by two equal kings, Charles and his brother Carloman. As before, distinct jurisdictions were awarded. Charles received Pepin's original share as Mayor: the outer parts of the kingdom bordering on the sea, namely Neustria, western Aquitaine, and the northern parts of Austrasia; while Carloman was awarded his uncle's former share, the inner parts: southern Austrasia, Septimania, eastern Aquitaine, Burgundy, Provence, and Swabia, lands bordering Italy. The question whether these jurisdictions were joint shares reverting to the other brother if one brother died or were inherited property passed on to the descendants of the brother who died was never definitely settled by the Frankish people. It came up repeatedly over the succeeding decades until the grandsons of Charlemagne created distinct sovereign kingdoms.
Aquitanian rebellion
An inheritance in the countries formerly under Roman law (ius or iustitia) represented not only a transmission of the properties and privileges but also the encumbrances and obligations attached to the inheritance. Pepin at his death had been in process of building an empire, a difficult task:[19]
"In those times, to build a kingdom from an aggregation of small states was itself no great difficulty ... But to keep the state intact after it had been formed was a colossal task ... Each of the minor states ... had its little sovereign ... who ... gave himself chiefly to ... plotting, pillaging and fighting."
Formation of a new Aquitania
Main article: Aquitaine
Aquitania under Rome had been in southern Gaul, Romanized and speaking a Romance language. Similarly Hispania had been populated by peoples who spoke various languages, including Celtic, but the area was now populated entirely by Romance language speakers. Between Aquitania and Hispania were the Euskaldunak, Latinized to Vascones, or Basques,[20] living in Basque country, Vasconia, which extended, according to the distributions of place names attributable to the Basques, most densely in the western Pyrenees but also as far south as the upper Ebro River in Spain and as far north as the Garonne River in France.[21] The French name, Gascony, derives from Vasconia. The Romans were never able to entirely subject Vasconia. The parts they did, in which they placed the region's first cities, were sources of legions in the Roman army valued for their fighting abilities. The border with Aquitania was Toulouse.
The Romans after the fall of their empire were replaced by the Visigoths in Spain and the Franks and Visigoths to the north. Although they had the authority of state, these Germanic tribes were thinly settled at best. They did not keep their languages long but were assimilated to the Romance-speaking prior populations. Romance was still spoken in Toulouse and to the east as well as on the Ebro. These authorities maintained relationships with the Basques that were fully as combative as the previous had been; moreover, the Basques on the whole had the upper hand. They began to raid and pillage to the north and east of their borders into territory then ruled by the Merovingians. They took slaves from the north and sold them to the south. Army after army was sent by the Franks. If the Basques could not win they retreated into the mountains. In 635 a Frankish column under Arnebert was massacred in the Haute Soule, a mountain valley.[22]
At about 660 the Duchy of Vasconia united with the Duchy of Aquitania to form a single kingdom under Felix of Aquitaine, governing from Toulouse. This was a joint kingship with a 28-year-old Basque king, Lupus I.[23] The kingdom was sovereign and independent. On the one hand Vasconia gave up predation to become a player on the field of European politics. On the other, whatever arrangements Felix had made with the weak Merovingians were null and void. At Felix's death in 670 the joint property of the kingship reverted entirely to Lupus. As the Basques had no law of joint inheritance, but practiced primogeniture, Lupus in effect founded a hereditary dynasty of Basque kings of an expanded Aquitania.[24]
Acquisition of Aquitania by the Carolingians
Further information: Umayyad conquest of Hispania
The Latin chronicles on the end of Visigothic Hispania leave much to be desired, such as identification of characters, filling in the gaps, and reconciliation of numerous contradictions.[25] The Saracen (Muslim) sources, however, present a more coherent view, such as in the Ta'rikh iftitah al-Andalus ("History of the Conquest of al-Andalus") by Ibn al-Qūṭiyya (a name meaning "the son of the Gothic woman," referring to the granddaughter of the last king of all Visigothic Spain, who married a Saracen). Ibn al-Qūṭiyya, who had another, much longer name, must have been relying to some degree on family oral tradition.
According to Ibn al-Qūṭiyya,[26] the last Visigothic king of a united Hispania died before his three sons, Almund, Romulo, and Ardabast, reached majority. Their mother was regent at Toledo, but Roderic, army chief of staff, staged a rebellion, capturing Cordova. Of all the possible outcomes, he chose to impose a joint rule over distinct jurisdictions on the true heirs. Evidence of a division of some sort can be found in the distribution of coins imprinted with the name of each king and in the king lists.[27] Wittiza is succeeded by Roderic, who reigned for seven and a half years, followed by a certain Achila (Aquila), who reigned three and a half years. If the reigns of both terminated with the incursion of the Saracens, then Roderic appears to have reigned a few years before the majority of Achila. The latter's kingdom is securely placed to the northeast, while Roderic seems to have taken the rest, notably Portugal.
Achila is undoubtedly Achila II of the coins and chronicles, who is stated by some chronicles to have been the son of Wittiza. How he fits into the Gothic woman's family tree is a problem. A scribal error in the transmission of her son's manuscript has been postulated: w.q.l.h for Waqla becomes r.m.l.h for Rumulu (Arabic like Hebrew writes only the consonants). Ardabast is generally identified with Ardo king of Septimania, 713–720.[28] The location of the share of Almun, or Olemundo, has not survived, but that he had one is assured by subsequent events.
In the account, a Christian merchant, Julian, left his daughter in the guardianship of Roderic (her mother had just died) while he conducted some business on Roderic's request in North Africa. Returning to find his daughter had been seduced by Roderic he simulated nonchalance and acceptance of that event, convincing Roderic to send him back on more business. Arriving there, however, he went to Tariq ibn Ziyad and convinced him to invade al-Andalus. En route the prophet Mohammed appeared to Tariq in a dream at the head of an army, telling him to go on. When the Saracens had landed in southern Spain Roderic establishing a base at Cordova reached out to the three sons of Wittiza asking for assistance in the common defense. The three arrived but not even daring to enter Cordova they sent to Tariq stating that Roderic was no better than a dog and offering submission and support in return for keeping their ancestral lands and privileges.[29] The offer having been accepted Roderic was defeated at the Battle of Guadalete. It is not clear whether the royal Goths fought against him or simply withheld troops. "Weighed down with weapons he threw himself into the water and was never found."
The three royals travelled to Damascus to confirm their submissions:[30] "Aquila was nominated king of the Goths but in 714 he traveled with his brothers to Damascus and sold the kingdom to Caliph Walid I (705–15) for lands and money." Ardo went on as client-king in Provence. On the death of Almund he appropriated the latter's share of the joint property against the will of the children, who went to Syria to appeal the case. The Saracens moved against Ardo. The boys never recovered the land. One became a Christian bishop. The daughter, Sarah, accepted an arranged marriage with a Saracen, becoming known as "the Gothic woman." She played an important role subsequently in Moorish Spain.
The Saracens crossed the mountains to claim Ardo's Septimania, only to encounter the Basque dynasty of Aquitania, always the allies of the Goths. Odo the Great of Aquitania was at first victorious at the Battle of Bordeaux in 721.[31] Saracen troops gradually massed in Septimania and in 732 advanced into Vasconia, and Odo was defeated at the Battle of the River Garonne. They took Bordeaux and were advancing toward Tours when Odo, powerless to stop them, appealed to his arch-enemy, Charles Martel, mayor of the Franks. In one of the first of the lightning marches for which the Carolingian kings became famous, Charles and his army appeared in the path of the Saracens between Tours and Poitiers, and in the Battle of Tours settled the question of the Saracen advance into Europe. The Moors were defeated so conclusively that they retreated across the mountains, never to return, leaving Septimania to become part of Francia.[32] Odo also had to pay the price of incorporation into Charles's kingdom, a decision that was repugnant to him and also to his heirs.
Loss and recovery of Aquitania [edit]
After the death of his son, Hunald allied himself with free Lombardy. However, Odo had ambiguously left the kingdom jointly to his two sons, Hunald and Hatto. The latter, loyal to Francia, now went to war with his brother over full possession. Victorious, Hunald blinded and imprisoned his brother, only to be so stricken by conscience that he resigned and entered the church as a monk to do penance according to Carolingian sources.[33] His son Waifer took an early inheritance, becoming duke of Aquitania, and ratified the alliance with Lombardy. Waifer decided to honor it, repeating his father's decision, which he justified by arguing that any agreements with Charles Martel became invalid on Martel's death. Since Aquitania was now Pepin's inheritance,[clarification needed] according to some the latter and his son, the young Charles, hunted down Waifer, who could only conduct a guerrilla war, and executed him.[34]
Among the contingents of the Frankish army were Bavarians under Tassilo III, Duke of Bavaria, an Agilofing, the hereditary Bavarian royal family. Grifo had installed himself as Duke of Bavaria, but Pepin replaced him with a member of the royal family yet a child, Tassilo, whose protector he had become after the death of his father. The loyalty of the Agilolfings was perpetually in question, but Pepin exacted numerous oaths of loyalty from Tassilo. However, the latter had married Liutperga, a daughter of Desiderius, king of Lombardy. At a critical point in the campaign Tassilo with all his Bavarians left the field. Out of reach of Pepin, he repudiated all loyalty to Francia.[35] Pepin had no chance to respond as he grew ill and within a few weeks after the execution of Waifer died himself.
The first event of the brothers' reign was the uprising of the Aquitainians and Gascons, in 769, in that territory split between the two kings. One year before, Pepin had finally defeated Waifer, Duke of Aquitaine, after waging a destructive, ten-year war against Aquitaine. Now, one Hunald (seemingly other than Hunald the duke) led the Aquitainians as far north as Angoulême. Charles met Carloman, but Carloman refused to participate and returned to Burgundy. Charles went to war, leading an army to Bordeaux, where he set up a fort at Fronsac. Hunald was forced to flee to the court of Duke Lupus II of Gascony. Lupus, fearing Charles, turned Hunald over in exchange for peace, and he was put in a monastery. Gascon lords also surrendered, and Aquitaine and Gascony were finally fully subdued by the Franks.
Union perforce
The brothers maintained lukewarm relations with the assistance of their mother Bertrada, but in 770 Charles signed a treaty with Duke Tassilo III of Bavaria and married a Lombard Princess (commonly known today as Desiderata), the daughter of King Desiderius, to surround Carloman with his own allies. Though Pope Stephen III first opposed the marriage with the Lombard princess, he would soon have little to fear from a Frankish-Lombard alliance.
Less than a year after his marriage, Charlemagne repudiated Desiderata and quickly married a 13-year-old Swabian named Hildegard. The repudiated Desiderata returned to her father's court at Pavia. [2]
September 24, 1038: Jews in Granada celebrate a secial Purim commemoration after the capture of the Muslim leader Ibn Abbas who was brought to Granada, killed, and beheaded by a rival (and Jewish tolerant) Muslim faction.[3]
1039: IBN AL-HAITHAM
Latin name: Alhazen. Abu Ali al-Hasan ibn al-Hasan (or al-Husain) ibn al-Haitham. Born c. 965 in Basra, flourished in egypt under al-Hakim (996 to 1020 died in Cairo in 1039 or soon after. The greatest Muslim physicist and one of the greatest students of optics of all the times. He was also an astronomer, a mathematician, a physician, and he wrote commentaries on Aristotle and Galen.
The Latin translation of his main work, the Optics (kitab al-manazir), exerted a great influence upon Western science (R. Bacon; Kepler). It showed a great progress in the experimental method. Research in catoptrics: spherical and parabolic mirrors, spherical aberration; in dioptrics: the ratio between the angle and incidence and refraction does not remain constant; magnifying power of a lens. study of atmospheric refraction. The twilight only ceases or begins when the sun is 19o below the horizon; attempt to measure the height of the atmosphere on that basis. Better description of the eye, and better understanding of vision, though ibn al-haitham considered the lens as the sensitive part; the rays originate in the object seen, not in the eye. Attempt to explain binocular vision. Correct explanation of the apparent increase in the size the sun and the moon when near the horizon. earliest use of the camera obscura.
The catoptrics contain the following problem, known as Alhazen's problem: from two points of the plane of a circle to draw lines meeting at point of the circumference and making equal angles with the normal at that point. It leads to an equation of the fourth degree. Alhazen solved it by the aid of an hyberpola intersecting a circle. He also solved the so-called al-Mahani's (cubic) equation (q. v., second half of the ninth century) in a similar (Archimedian) manner.

September 24, 1554: In a letter dated September 24, 1554, Knox received an invitation from a congregation of English exiles in Frankfurt to become one of their ministers. He accepted the call with Calvin's blessing. But no sooner had he arrived than he found himself in a conflict. The first set of refugees to arrive in Frankfurt had subscribed to a reformed liturgy and used a modified version of the Book of Common Prayer. More recently arrived refugees, however, including Edmund Grindal, the future Archbishop of Canterbury, favoured a stricter application of the book. When Knox and a supporting colleague, William Whittingham, wrote to Calvin for advice, they were told to avoid contention. Knox therefore agreed on a temporary order of service based on a compromise between the two sides. This delicate balance was disturbed when a new batch of refugees arrived that included Richard Cox, one of the principal authors of the Book of Common Prayer. Cox brought Knox's pamphlet attacking the emperor to the attention of the Frankfurt authorities, who advised that Knox leave. [6]
September 24, 1581: The Duke of Joyeuse, favourite of Henry III, marries at Paris Margaret of Vaudemont, of the house of Lorraine, and sister of Queen Louisa of France. [7]
September 24, 1640: Charles took the unusual step of summoning the magnum concilium, the ancient council of all the Peers of the Realm, who were considered the king's hereditary counsellors, who recommended making peace with the Scots and recalling Parliament.[116] [8]
September 24, 1683: The Jews were expelled from all French possessions in America. The Jews would return to Quebec in 1759 when the British were victorious in the French and Indian War.[9]

Tuesday September 24, 1754:
Braddock is appointed Commander in Chief of British forces in the Thirteen colonies. "His majesty has a good opinion of Mr. Braddock's sense and bravery and has heard he has become very stayed. His Majestey has likewise a good opinion of Colonel Dunbar who has been thought of, as proper, to go with his regiment in order to supply Mr. Braddock's place in case of accident." (Sir Thomas Robinson) His orders call for the removal of the French forces from the Ohio river valley and possibly the expulsion of the French from North America. [14]
September 24, 1758
Colonial Soldiers and Pensioners
The General Assembly held at Williamsburg Sept. 24, 1758, realizing that the border counties needed encouragement from the Colonial government, to insure greater protection to the settlers who were required to render unceasing service to protect their homes from the ravages of Indian warfare, enacted a law that stimulated the Valley counties, to not only maintain their independent warfare, but to furnish enlistments in the Colonial Regiments then being recruited for general purposes. Up to this date the border counties were expected to protect their homes at their own expense, and also to furnish their quotas for the Line regiments. This was found unjust to the Valley settlers, who for twenty years had formed a bulwark of defense for the country East of the Blue Ridge. At no time did they allow Indian forays to extend Eastward beyond their own settlements. The General Assembly recognized this, and appropriated a large sum to pay the Home Guards—or Minute Men, as they were called—for their services, equal to that paid the Line soldiers; and being furnished with lists from all the border counties, named them in the Act and fixed the amounts then due, and made provision for all who should thereafter secure certificates from their courts.
The author will give names of soldiers from Old Frederick, only to show who were the old defenders. Some of these names will appear in the Sketches of Indian Wars; but the repetition here is not undesirable, and will serve as an index to the reader to single out, if he can, his old ancestor.
The amounts will be given as found in the record of that period, in pounds, shillings and pence, only in a few instances, to show the general scheme for payment.

September 24, 1758: After yet another blood libel in Poland, the Jewish community sent Jacob Zelig to Rome to seek relief from the Pope Benedict XIV to start an investigation. Cardinal Ganganell (Clement XVI) wrote an unequivocal condemnation of the libels and asked the Holy See to intervene in Poland to stop the accusations.[18]
September 24, 1774: In the afternoon of the following day, the 24th of September (September 24), John Roberts and his wife and several children were killed, and the eldest child, James, a boy ten years of age, was made a captive by a band of Shawnees and Mingo’s under the leadership of Logan, the noted Mingo chief. This massacre occurred on Reedy Creek, an affluent of the North Fork of Holston, and the place was then supposed to be within the bounds of Fincastle County, Virginia; and it was, but afterwards it was found that it had been given to Tennessee through carelessness of the Virginia commissioners when the boundary line was run between North Carolina and Virginia in 1802. Logan left in the Roberts cabin a war club, with a letter tied to the club and addressed to Captain Cresap. On the 24th (September 24) Lewis sent out scouts in different directions to look for the enemy.[19]
September 24, 1778
On the 24th Colonel von Hackenberg’s brigade, six British regiments, and Generals Grant, Leslie, and Erskine marched to Philipse’s house, where headquarters were established. The left wing was stationed at the twenty-mile stone on the road to Dobb’s Ferry, the center rested on Sawmill Creek, and the right wing extended to the Bronx.
Beginning with the left wing, the troops were posted as follows: Donop’s, the Leib Regiment, the Erb Prinz, Wissenbach’s, Köhler’s Grenadiers, Minnigerode’s, Lengerke’s, Linsing’s, the 7th, 26th, 28th, 49th, 63rd, 71st, and 4th British Regiments.
Lieutenant Colonel von Wurmb covered the left wing; the Phoenix man-of-war, fifty guns, stationed in the North River, afforded sufficient protection for the flank; Captain von Wreden with two companies of dismounted jägers was posted along Sawmill Creek and covered the center of the front; and Colonel Simcoe had his huts across the Bronx built in such a way that he could keep continual watch on the roads between our right wing and the East River which leads from Mamaroneck and New Rochelle to Morrisania, the heights of Kings Bridge, and Fort Independence.
A daring troop of two hundred dragoons could at any time have alarmed the redoubts and the country, for only Colonel von Loos’s brigade and two companies of DeLancey’s Volunteers remained posted at Fort Knyphausen, and they did duty in the redoubts as well. No troops could be spared from New York, for von Seitz’s Regiment had already left the garrison with two brigades [sic–battalions] of DeLancey’s New York Volunteers and two Pennsylvania battalions, namely, Chalmers’ and Allen’s, and embarked on the 8th to reinforce the garrison at Halifax.
On the 24th of September, the corps under General Cornwallis encamped between New Bridge and Fort Lee, occupying a stretch eight English miles long, with Hackensack and Hackensack Creek in front. They threw up five redoubts. The bridge across the Hackensack had not been demolished, and the patrols met many militia, both mounted and dismounted, who had been sent hither and yon to urge the country people to remove their cattle, grain, and forage. It was General Clinton’s intention to procure all these necessities either by paying for them outright or by giving receipts.
Contrary to expectations, General Cornwallis found an abundance of these provisions in the district he occupied, though at Mamaroneck, on this side of the North River, no more than fifty tons of hay were found. The camp at White Plains and even more the destitute population allow no surplus. Besides, the entire region is quite mountainous, even more so than the Cologne Sauerland.
General Clinton was in Jersey.[20]
September 24, 1781: Later in 1781, Brodhead was replaced at Fort Pitt by Colonel John Gibson, temporarily, and then by General William Irvine, September 24, 1781. Brodhead was promoted to general and given command of the 1st PA Colonial regiment. He remained in the army until the end of the war when he was given (and purchased) several thousand acres of land in the Kittanning area. He was married twice. His second wife was the widow of Governor Mifflin.[21]
September 24, 1788: Allegheny County. County formed out of Westmoreland and Washington Counties on September 24, 1788. Named for the Allegheny River—justifiably so, as it comprised most of PA northwest of the Allegheny River. County seat of Pittsburgh was laid-out in 1764. Population in 1790 Census was 10,309.

President Washington orders the militia to put down the Whisky Rebellion, caused by Pennsylvania farmers opposition to an excise tax on liquor.[22]
September 24, 1806: From Saint Louis, Clark indicates to his brother that he and Lewis will be traveling together to Louisville "by the way of Vincennes." William Clark to Jonathan Clark, St. Louis. September 24, 1806, Dear Brother, Holmberg, ed. (New Haven, Conn., 2002), 115. (B00605) [23]
September 24, 1812: William Henry Harrison broke the seal of a War Office order appointing him to the command of the Northwestern Army. The order told Harrison that his prospective force would include 3000 men from Pennsylvania and Virginia, the 17th U.S. Regiment, and volunteers and militia from Kentucky, to the total number of 6000. A train of artillery was to advance from Pittsburgh for him and he was clothed with authority to requisition funds and supplies of every kind. With these assets, General Harrison was ordered to provide for the protection of the entire northwestern frontier, to retake Detroit, and to prepare to conquer Canada.
Now he was in sole charge, but of a desperate situation. With the weather turning colder, the men were destitute of warm clothing and other supplies were short. [24]
September 24, 1813:
Second Division troops mustered in Nashville for departure to the Creek country; campaign against Creeks continued into 1814 [25]
September 24, 1817

September 24, 1819: The Treaty of Saginaw, also known as the Treaty with the Chippewa, was made between Gen. Lewis Cass and Chief John Okemos, Chief Wasso and other Native American tribes of the Great Lakes region (principally the Ojibwe, but also the Ottawa and Potawatomi) in what is now the United States, on September 24, 1819, proclaimed by the President of the United States on March 25, 1820, and placed in law as 7 Stat. 203.
Native Americans ceded a large tract of land (more than six million acres (24,000 km²) in the central portion of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. The southern boundary of the tract extended from a few miles northeast of Jackson west to just northeast of Kalamazoo. The line then ran directly to the head of the Thunder Bay River in south-central Montmorency County and then along the river to the mouth in Thunder Bay, near Alpena. From there it extended northeast to the international boundary line between the United States and the British Province of Upper Canada and then along the boundary south to the boundary line established by the Treaty of Detroit in 1807, which ran from the shore of Lake Huron in northeast Sanilac County southwest to a point several miles northeast of Lansing and then due south the point of origin. The treaty reserved several smaller tracts of land for Indian use within the ceded territory.[27]

September 24, 1864: The Federals responded September 24, by shooting six of Anderson's men who were captured at a home in Rocheport.
That same day, September 24, Anderson attacked the pro-Union town of Fayette, losing thirteen killed and more than thirty wounded. Only one Union soldier had been killed and two wounded. [29]
September 24, 1864: Fayette, Missouri
Todd and Anderson wanted to attack the federal garrison at Fayette. Quantrill was against the plan because the town was heavily defended and the attack would cost too many lives. Anderson told Quantrill that they were going to attack Fayette no matter what and Quantrill could come along or he could hide in the woods like a coward. Quantrill agreed to go but would take no part in leading the raid.
On September 24, the raiders rode into Fayette dressed in federal uniforms. Their disguise was effective until one of the raiders saw a black Union soldier and fired at him. Then all hell broke loose. The guerrillas charged the blockhouse on the northern edge of town.
Frank James recalled the fight. "We charged up against a blockhouse made of railroad ties filled with port holes and then charged back again. The blockhouse was filled with federal troops and it was like charging a stone wall only this stone wall belched forth lead."
During the assault, Ol Johnson was hit and fatally wounded and his body lay on a rise a short distance from the blockhouse. Todd asked for someone to go get the body and drag it to safety. Sim Whitsett, Dick Kinney and Frank James volunteered. The three men made it to the rise but were pinned down by the heavy gunfire coming from the blockhouse.
"We were in plain view of the federals and they simply peppered us with bullets. We got as close to the ground as we could. I was mightily scared. It was the worst fight I ever had. I knew if we raised up we would expose ourselves to the fire of the Yankees and we couldn't stay still."
Somehow, they were able to wrap the body in a blanket and pull it out of the maelstrom of lead. "I tell you," Frank said, "pride makes most of us do many things we wouldn't do otherwise. Many men would run away in a battle if the army wasn’t watching them."
Finally, Todd and Anderson realized the futility of the fight and the guerrillas withdrew. Quantrill again left with his few loyal followers and went north of the Missouri River. Fayette was the most costly fight the guerrillas had ever suffered. Eighteen raiders were killed and more than forty were wounded. [30]
September 24, 1864: Battle at New Market, Virginia.
Sat. September 24, 1864:
Marched 16 miles chaseing the rebs

September 24, 1941: Two thousand women and children were taken from the Wolkowysk Ghetto and murdered. Wolkowysk was located in southeastern Lithuania.[36]
September 24, 1942: At the urging of von Ribbentrop, Martin Luther, of the German Foreign Ministry began plans to set up negotiations between the governments of Bulgaria, Hungary and Denmark with the object of starting the evacuation of the Jews of these countries. The evacuations meant trips to the death camps for the Jews. The fate of the Jewish communities in each of these countries is an interesting story in and of itself. Bulgarian Jews would enjoy the intervention of the Papal Nuncio who would later be a Pope. Raoul Wallenberg intervened in an attempt to save the Jews of Hungary. The Jews of Denmark were saved by the gutsy intervention of the crews of the Danish fishing fleet.[37]
September 24, 1942: German Foreign Office official Martin Luther passes on to subordinates the desire of Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop that deportations of Jews from across Europe be accelerated.[38]
September 24, 1942: Convoy 37 was primarily (729) composed of Romanian Jews. On September 24, the day before the departure, 1,594 Romanian Jews had been arrested in the Paris region. A series of Gestapo and German diplomatic service documents made it possible to reconstruct the steps taken by the Nazis to seize this particular group of Jews. Romania was allied with Germany. But under the pressure of Gustav Richter, Eichmann’s representative in Bucharest, the Romanian Jews living in France lost the protection of their government. On September 17, the German Embassy had told the Gestapo that Romania and Bulgaria were no longer interested in their Jews. They thus became deportable (XXVa-252). [39]

Město bylo založeno na konci 18. The city was founded in the late 18th století jako vojenská pevnost a nazváno po císařovně Marii Terezii. century as a military fortress and named after Empress Maria Theresa. V listopadu 1941 v něm bylo zřízeno ghetto pro Židy z českých zemí, z Německa, z Rakouska, z Nizozemí, z Dánska, ze Slovenska az dalších okupovaných zemí.
September 24-26, 1942: Eugene Gottlieb, born May 14, 1880, Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg, Metzer Str 6; 20. Resident Berlin. Deportation: from Frankfurt a. M. Berlin, September 24-26, 1942 Raasiku. Transport October 3, 42, East . Place of Death: Reval, missing.[40]
September 24-26, 1942: An uprising breaks out in Tuchin when the Germans move to liquidate the ghetto. Most of the Jews escape, but they are subsequently found and killed.[41]
September 24, 1944: Having murdered 400,000 Jews over the summer at Birkenau, the gassings slowed down. A comparative few 200 Sonderkommando prisoners were to be gassed. Only 661 Sonderdommando were left at the camp to be party to the continuation of the German dirty work.[42]
September 24, 1961 The Cuban Government announces that it has smashed the
Amblood ring of conspirators. This is a CIA Miami-directed plot centers around a former Cuban
Treasury Ministry employee, Luis Toroella, who had been brought to Florida for training and by
the time of the Bay of Pigs had infiltrated back to Santiago in an underground network with the
code name Amblood. Twelve members are charged with planning to fire bazookas at Fidel
Castro from a garage across the street from the Havana City Sports Stadium as he speaks at a
rally.
n Toroella is subsequently executed. [43]
September 24, 1963 JFK’s Limited Test Ban passes the Senate today. Eleven
Democrats are opposed -- all Southerners, except for the maverick conservative Frank Lausche of
Ohio. Eight Republicans are opposed -- all Westerners, except for Margaret Chase Smith of
Maine. Ted Sorensen feels that “no other accomplishment in the White House ever gave Kennedy
greater satisfaction.” The Limited Test Ban never fulfills JFK’s and Khrushchev’s hopes. The
treaty reduces the amount of strontium 90 in the atmosphere, but its failure to stop all forms of
nuclear testing keeps it from throwing a serious damper on the nuclear arms race.
JFK departs for Wisconsin this day and makes a speech in Ashland, Wisconsin as part of
a nationwide conservation tour. It has been speculated that an assassination attempt was to be made
during this visit. Lee Harvey Oswald’s name is later found in a Wisconsin hotel registry. The signature is
later determined not to be LHO’s.
LHO is seen by a neighbor leaving his apartment in New Orleans with two suitcases.
FBI (SOG) sends yet another report to CIA on the latest activities of LHO. Note also,
between now and the assassination LHO, or someone resembling him, will be seen a number to
times in the company of a Latin man. AOT
William Attwood meets in Washington today with Robert Kennedy - concerning Fidel
Castro’s desire for discussions (and better relations) with the U.S.
Also today, Alex Rorke and copilot Geoffrey Sullivan leave Miami in a rented twinengine
Beechcraft heading for Honduras for a “lobster-hauling business deal.” This same day,
they arrive in Merida, Mexico. (Alex Rorke is a photographer, journalist, pilot, rabid anti-Communist,
former FBI employee and the wealthy son-in-law of Sherman Billingsley, the celebrity owner of New York’s
famous Stork Club. Rorke also works closely with Miami millionaire William Pawley, the ultra rightwinger
who fronts and funds a number of Agency operations.)[44]
September 24, 1964: The Warren Commission's 888-page final report was presented to President Johnson on September 24, 1964,[64] and made public three days later,[65] saying that the first shot missed, the second shot wounded President Kennedy and Governor Connally, and the third shot hit Kennedy in the head, killing him. The Warren Commission claimed that Lee Harvey Oswald fired all three shots.[45]
September 24, 1974: Gladys Elizabeth Nix15 [James W. Nix14, James Nix13, John A. Nix12, Grace Louisa Francis Smith11, Gabriel Smith10, John “LR” Smith9, Ambrose J. Smith8, Christopher Smith7, Christopher Smith6, Thomas Smythe5, Thomas Smythe4, John Smythe3, Richard2, William1] (b. unk) married John William Nolan (b. September 3, 1909 in Randolph Co. AL / d.

Also Augusta County compensation list from 1775 for supplies and service during Dunmore' Expedition of 1774 is in digital format at the Library of Virginia website. John Harding was paid for 7 days service under John Bell, Sgt.
DAR Lineage #21634: John Hardin (1733-1804) was captain of a company of volunteers under Col. William Crawford in the Sandusky expedition and with him was his son, John. This was the ill-fated expedition in which Col. Crawford was burned at the stake by Indians. This John was a first cousin of Col. John Hardin who was massacred in 1782.
February 18, 1773 John Hardin Junr. of the Province of Pennsylvania. 296 acres in Dunmore Co, surveyed in 1751 by George Hume for Mark Hardin, lapsed. On branches of the South River of the Shanandoah; Flint Run, line of Wm Russell's patent; Philip Crums line, Binghams line. Northern Neck Book P, p.193
March 5, 1780. Settlement Warrants for John Hardin Jr's Pre-emptions. Numbers 1327, 1328, 1329, each for 1000 acres in Monongalia Co. Located on Hardin's Cove, waters of Tyger [Tygart] Valley River, to include his settlements. The three certificates were identical except the settlements were made in 1771, 1772 and 1773.
"We the Commissioners for adjusting the Claim to unpatented lands in the Counties of Monongalia, Yohogania, & Ohio do Hereby Certify that John Hardin Jun. is intitled to one thousand acres of Land in Monongalia County in Hardin's Cove on the Waters of the Tygars Valley River adjoining to his Settlement made in the year 1771. Given under our hands this March 5, in the 5th year of the CommonWealth."
John P. Duvall, one of the commissioners will later be found near the Hardins in Kentucky.
There was a receipt for 1200£ paid the Treasury of Virginia.
I believe he did indeed receive this land:
October 17, 1783 John Hardin Junr as Settlement of the Commissioners for adjusting lands. 400 acres, Monongalia Co, surveyed November 23, 1781, assignee of William Hardin. On Cove Run, branch of Tygert Valley River to include his settlement from 1771 Grant Book H, p.589

The above accounts for 3010 acres. These also show that his settlement on Cove Run became part of Harrison Co. The Tygart Valley River flows out of the Allegheny Mountains, flowing generally northward through Eastern West Virginia. It's two largest tributaries are the Buckhannon and Middle Fork Rivers. The Tygart is the principal tributary of the Monongahela River.
The counties of Monongalia, Ohio, & Yohogania were created from the District of West Augusta of Augusta Co VA in 1776. Part of the area was also called Westmoreland Co PA and claimed by both states. The northeast corner of Monogalia became Fayette Co PA in 1783. Harrison Co VA was formed out of Monogalia in 1784 - then Randolph Co was formed from part of Harrison in 1787. Randolph Co remained a part of Virginia until the formation of West Virginia in 1863.
That John was indeed a miller is reflected in a patent issued to Benjamin Brooks as assignee of Theophilus Phillips on May 14, 1787. His tract of 83 acres was in the fork of Little Sandy Creek, about 2 1/2 miles above Miller John Hardin. Patent Book 9, p.328
There is another patent to John Hardin, located near patents for Mark and Benjamin Hardin on the Little Kanawha River. John Hardin was for Warrant 2599, dated February 14, 1783 and surveyed June 1, 1786, as assignee of Roger Barton. It was at that time in Harrison Co, West side Little "Kenhawa" River, mouth of Naul's Creek also known as Poplar bottom. This patent dated April 18, 1788, the same date as he received the last patent for his pre-emption certificates. Patent Book 16, p.577.
According to his son Nestor, John settled in Hardin's Cove in Randolph Co in 1771. He relocated to Georges Creek in PA. His will disposed of lands in Fayette Co PA, Randolph Co VA, Harrison Co VA, at Hardin's Cove [also Randolph] and Monongalia Co VA and his mills and convenience of waterworks where he lived in Fayette Co PA. [The mills have given him the nickname "Miller John".

Mentions wife, Isabell; sons John, Absolam, Henry, illegitimate son John called "Jack", Nestor, George, Cato; daughters Mariam , Mary Ann (and her two daughters Elizabeth and Isabell), Malchia ( probably Mahala), Alice. Children of son Hector Hardin: Henry, Malinda & Mary Ann.
There is a Hardin Family Cemetery in Springhill - markers are there for Capt John, Isabella; their son George and his two wives.
