October 17, 1732: William Crawford, son of Valentine Crawford, an emigrant from the North of Ireland, was born October 17, 1732, in Orange county, Virginia. Young Crawford was brought up as a surveyor. His education seems to have been more or less limited, but his knowledge of men and affairs took a wide range. It was while acting in this capacity, as a surveyor, that he became acquainted with George Washington. As an ensign in the Virginia forces which accompanied Braddock, he was specially distinguished for gallantry, and subsequently promoted to a lieu-tenancy. He accompanied the Virginia troops under Forbes, and after the Bouquet expedition took up the tract of land in Pennsylvania already referred to, near New Haven.
Mrs. Crawford was no less widely known for that generous hospitality so dearly appreciated by pioneers in search of homes in the wilderness, and so, of all the women on the frontiers of Western Pennsylvania, none were more highly respected and lovingly remembered. During the years when her brave husband was serving his country faithfully as an officer in the struggle for independence, Mrs. Crawford kept faithful watch and ward over the younger members of her family, and to her they were largely indebted for their education, and what measure of life they entered upon. The war drawing to a close, Captain Crawford being declared a supernumerary officer, gladly accepted the opportunity of returning to his home. Having, as he verily believed, done his whole duty to his country, he now thought only of spending the remainder of his days in quietude and peace. This was, unfortunately for him, to be ordered otherwise. The depredations of the Ohio Indians on the frontiers of Pennsylvania called loudly for redress. No one could remain an indifferent spectator of the terrible scenes then enacting in the exposed settlements, and much less Captain Crawford. When therefore the project of attacking the savages in their stronghold at Sandusky, all eyes were turned to that gallant officer who had served with such conspicuous daring on many a battle-field of the Revomuon. Of the events which followed—of the disastrous ending of what should have been a brilliant campaign— of the inhuman death by torture of the lamented Crawford, it is not our province in this place to dwell. As long, however, as our country endures and the heroic deeds of the soldiers of the Revolution shall be cherished by their descendants, so long will the sad, sad story of Crawford and his men live in kindly memory.[4]
October 17, 1732
William Crawford, son of Valentine Crawford, an emigrant from the North of Ireland, was born October 17, 1732, in Orange County, Virginia. Young Crawford was brought up as a surveyor. His education seems to have been more or less limited, but his knowledge of men and affairs took a wide range. It was shile acting in this capacity, as a surveyor, that he became acquainted with George Washington. As an ensign in the Virginia forces which accompanied Braddock, he was specially distingquished for gallantry, and subsepuently promoted to a lieutenancy. He accompanied the Virginia troops under Forbes, and after the Bouquet expedition took up the tract of land in Pennsylvania already referred to, near New Haven…
Colonel Crawford perished at the stake on the afternoon of June 11, 1782. Washington, upon hearing of the terrible ending of his friend’s life, said: “It is with the greatest sorrow and concern that I have learned the melancholy tidings of his death. He was known to me as an officer of great prudence, brave, experienced and active.” In a letter to General Irvine he says:”I am particularly affected with the disastrous death of Colonel Crawford.”[5]

Colonel William Crawford
William Crawford (1732 – June 11, 1782) was an American soldier and surveyor who worked as a western land agent for George Washington. Crawford fought in the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War. He was tortured and burned at the stake by American Indians in retaliation for the Gnadenhutten massacre, a notorious incident near the end of the American Revolution.
Early career
In 1732, Crawford was born in Orange County, Virginia, at a location which is now in Berkeley County, West Virginia.[1] He was a son of William Crawford and his wife Honora Grimes,[2] who were Scots-Irish farmers. After his father's death in 1736, his mother married Richard Stephenson. Crawford had a younger brother, Valentine Crawford, plus five half-brothers and one half-sister from his mother's second marriage.[3]
In 1749, Col. William Crawford became acquainted with George Washington, then a young surveyor the same age as Crawford. He accompanied Washington on surveying trips and learned the trade. In 1755, Crawford served in the Braddock expedition with the rank of ensign. Like Washington, he survived the disastrous Battle of the Monongahela. During the French and Indian War, he served in Washington's Virginia Regiment, guarding the Virginia frontier against Native American raiding parties. In 1758, Crawford was a member of General John Forbes's army which captured Fort Duquesne, where Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania now stands. He continued to serve in the military, taking part in Pontiac's War in 1763.
In 1765 Crawford built a cabin on the Braddock Road along the Youghiogheny River in what is now Connellsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. His wife and three children joined him there the following year. Crawford supported himself as a farmer and fur trader. When the 1768 Treaty of Fort Stanwix with the Iroquois opened up additional land for settlement, Crawford worked again as a surveyor, locating lands for settlers and speculators. Governor Robert Dinwiddie had promised bounty land to the men of the Washington's Virginia Regiment for their service in the French and Indian War. In 1770 Crawford and Washington travelled down the Ohio River to choose the land to be given to the regiment's veterans. The area selected was near what is now Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Crawford also made a western scouting trip in 1773 with Lord Dunmore, Governor of Virginia. Washington could not accompany them because of the sudden death of his stepdaughter.[4]
At the outbreak of Dunmore's War in 1774, Crawford received a major's commission from Lord Dunmore. He built Fort Fincastle at present Wheeling, West Virginia.[5] He also led an expedition which destroyed two Mingo villages (near present Steubenville, Ohio) in retaliation for Chief Logan's raids into Virginia.[6] During the expedition, Crawford's men rescued two captives held by American Indians, killing six and capturing 14 Indians.[2] [6]
By the end of 1739 both Britain and Spain had violated the Convention, and in October 1739 formal war was declared beginning the War of Jenkins' Ear. The war later become submerged into the wider War of the Austrian Succession. The issues that had started the war were largely ignored during the Congress of Breda and the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle that ended it in 1748 as they were no longer priorities for the two sides.
Some issues were eventually resolved in the 1750 Treaty of Madrid, although illegal British trade with the Spanish colonies continued to flourish.[7]
October 1736: Chambersburg. Franklin County. Settled as Chambers Town in 1734 by Benjamin Chambers (c1708-1788). Benjamin Chambers emigrated from County Antrim, Ireland with his brothers James, Robert, and Joseph in c1726-30. When Benjamin Chambers came to area where Conococheague and Falling Creeks meet, the land had not yet been purchased from the Indians (not until October 1736—some say 1734). The PA Proprietary did not discourage him in that they wanted PA-connected settlers to move into the region and keep the Marylanders out. Chambers was known to have friendly relations with the Indians and his enterprise resulted in the construction of both a flour-mill and sawmill on the creek. He assisted General Forbes in supply and intelligence during the build-up to the taking of Fort Duquesne in 1758. He was made a colonel in the PA militia and built his own small fort. [8]

William HARRISON b: ABT 1740 in Orange, Va.
William worked for and lived with John Vance as a surveyor apprentice.[10]
1740 : Colonel Hugh Stephenson (future resident of the area) was born. [11]
1740: The presumption, suggestive of William Crawford participating in King George’s War, becomes more a reality when a study is made of four years prior to 1744. The Spanish War of 1740 developed between England and Spain, due to the Spanish pressure in Florida, including other troubles. The English colonies furnished about four thousand men for an expedition against the Spanish West Indies; the soldiers suffering from desease, starvation and brutality, only a few lived to return home. This will justify the idea, that the English colonies had abruptly, suffered a loss of man power.[12]
1740: Sarah Vance was born in 1740, to Samuel Vance b. 1691, and Sarah "Blackburn" Vance b. 1709. She later married John Vail in 1755.[13]

Description: Maria Theresa
Maria Theresa of Austria
CREDIT: Public domain
Maria Theresa, enlightened despot
Like Catherine de Medici, Maria Theresa of Austria did not have an auspicious upbringing.
"She's basically raised without much training," Pavlac said. "She gets married to her cousin, and they don't expect anything from her."
Nonetheless, she was destined to inherit the Austrian throne. When the kingdom fell to her in 1740, it was broke and under attack from other European sovereigns. Pregnant (as she would be almost constantly over the next 20 years -- she had 16 children), Maria Theresa fought back. She held on to the Austrian Empire and during her 40-year reign would institute reforms in medicine, education and criminal justice.[14]
It was far from safe to criticise the Margrave's conduct. In 1740 one Christoph Wilhelm von Rauber was accused of posting up caricatures and lampoons. For this he was sentenced to strike himself on the mouth, under penalty of having it done for him by the executioner; to see the latter burn his lampoons; and finally to have his head cut off; which last punishment was graciously commuted to perpetual imprisonment and confiscation ("Geschichte des vorletzten Markgrafen von Brandenburg-Ansbach," von Karl Heinrich Ritter von Lang.)
Charles Alexander, son of this murdering Margrave, appears to have been more humane than his father. He was sent in his youth to Utrecht to learn republican virtues, and then to Italy, probably to learn princely graces. He returned worn out with dissipation, the blame of which his father found it convenient to lay on his travelling companion, Councillor Mayer. The latter was imprisoned at Zelle, and his subsequent fate is unknown. According to another story, he was executed at Altenkirchen.[15]

Surnames:
I sent you an email about the George Cutlip (Gotlieb, Gotlip) from Germany. I found out that he arrived on the ship "Griffin" in South Carolina on October 17, 1741/1749. He is my 7th great grandfather. I still have not found any information on his parents though, nor any photos.[16]
October 1747: Concerning the land dispute: In October 1747, Christopher Gist and Dr. Samuel Eckerlin completed their survey and estimation of the distance westward of Penn's claims and made their report to the House of Burgesses. [2]

Fort DuQuesne/Fort Pitt[17]
[ Fort Pitt was captured by Captain John Connolly in the name of Virginia and the name changed to Fort Dunmore, after the governor of Virginia. This farce was finally ended by the Revolutionary War.
%2BVirginia%2Bin%2B1794..jpg)
West (Western) Virginia in 1794.
In 1763, Christopher Gist succeeded in planting sixty-three settlers on the east side of the Monongahela River in Fayette County, between the mouth of Cheat River (Gist Point) and Fairchance. These were formerly from New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia - all loyal Virginians. Having come through Staunton and received their free land grant to claims in this territory, they took homesteads, fully believing this to be Virginia’s territory. These homesteaders lived on their claims during the years of 1763 to 1765.
October 1747
The Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in October of 1747 ended King George
S War, and even though it did not resolve the overlapping territorial disputes on the frontier, the tensions eased somewhat. Attacks by the Indians against the traders, even the more unscrupulous ones, diminished, but the ill feelings remained. Competition remained keen between English and French traders but now with a small degree of mutual tolerance. [18]
To South Carolina: 1749
George arrived on October 17, 1749 at Charleston, SC aboard a ship from Saxe-Gotha in what is today north-central Germany. The name of the ship was not preserved, but the list of 33 "heads of families" of passengers was. Immigration records indicate there were three people in the "Geo. Gottlieb" family. We assume he had a wife and one ten-year-old son. (He may have had no wife and two children, or some other "family of three.") A little over a year later, in 1751, he was granted a 150-acre homestead (50 acres for each adult family member) in Amelia Township near the Congaree River among a concentration of German immigrants. However, the stay in SC was brief. Nothing more appears in public records.[19] George Gotlieb and his family, along with other German and German-Swiss settlers, arrived in Charleston, South Carolina to settle in Amelia Co., Saxe-Gotha Township (From Ships Passenger Lists: The South, Carl Boyer, ed., Family Line Publications, Westminster, Md.)[20]
George Cutlip1683 was born 1711 in Switzerland1683, and died 1780 in Augusta, VA1683, 1683. He married Christina Gotlieb.[21]
October 17, 1749: George {Gotlieb-Gotlip} Cutlip was born in 1711 in Germany (perhaps Saxe-Gotha) OR Switzerland. He died before 1780 in Augusta Co., VA. George immigrated on October 17, 1749 to Charleston, SC. He served in the military as a Sergeant in the PA Militia[22]
October 1755: A State Road Marker (Latitude 39.624783°, Longitude -78.734500°) immediately southeast of Cumberland, Maryland briefly summarizes the Jane Frazier story. While on her way to Fort Cumberland in October 1755, her traveling companion was killed by Twightwee/Miami Indians. She was kidnapped and taken to Miami country, from whence she escaped and returned home to find her husband had remarried. Her story is recited in detail in the 1923 book ―History of Allegany County‖.
October 1756: Frederick II faced widespread criticism for his attack on neutral Saxony and for his forcible incorporation of the Saxony forces into the Prussian army following the Siege of Pirna in October 1756.
Facing a coalition which included Austria, France, Russia, Saxony, Sweden and several minor German states, and having only Great Britain, Hesse, Brunswick, and Hanover as his allies, Frederick narrowly kept Prussia in the war despite having his territories repeatedly invaded. [23]
October 1758: Virginia’s colonial officials were much more aggressive in sponsoring western settlements than were Pennsylvania’s. Governor Dunmore of Virginia was offering outright grants of western land and was selling lands cheaper than PA was. Also, the Harrisons and Moores would have known that Pennsylvania, in October 1758, had achieved peace with some Ohio Country Indian’s by renouncing Pennsylvania’s claims to lands west of the Appalachian Mountains. They would have known that this agreement, the Treaty of Easton, had been made because Pennsylvania, with its Quaker and pacifist traditions, alsoays had been slow to raise and pay for local militia to protect European settlers in the western reaches of the coloney. The proprietary colonty of William Penn, with its political establishment divided between Quaker pacifists, PhilaDELPHIA MERCHANTS, AND IMPATIENT, LAND HUNGRY settlers, was indecisive. Pennsylvania’s political paralysis on western land issues could be worked to the advantage of Virginia, or so concluded manyt long established families in Virginia and Maryland, whose sons, like George Washington, were unable or unwilling to carve up and share the family’s traditional lands in the established colonies and were anxsious to get onto huge tracts of frontier acreage. [24] [25]
October 1758: Captain Bull. A son of Teedyuscung—the important Delaware chief (Eastern Delaware). Reported to have accompanied Christian Frederick Post west after the conference at Easton in October 1758.[26]
October 1758. — Fort Ligonier built. [27]
October 1758:Treaty of Easton
•The Treaty of Easton was a colonial agreement in North America signed in October 1758 during the French and Indian War (Seven Years War). Briefly, chiefs of 13 Native American nations, representing tribes of the Iroquois, Lenape-Delaware, Shawnee and others, agreed to be allies of the British colonies during the French and Indian War (Seven Years War), already underway. In return the governments of Pennsylvania and New Jersey recognized Native rights to hunting grounds in the Ohio Valley and settlements in the Ohio Country. They promised not to establish additional settlements west of the Appalachian Mountains.[28]
October 1759: The smallpox, according to a petition of the inhabitants of Winchester, “was raging at Stephensburg,” and the court did not meet at all until February 1760 (NORRIS [1], 121--22). GW is here noting the court’s move back to its regular seat.[29]
October 1760: Joseph II married Princess Isabella of Parma in October 1760, a union fashioned to bolster the 1756 defensive pact between France and Austria. (The bride's mother, Princess Louise Élisabeth was the eldest daughter of the incumbent King of France. Isabella's father was Philip, Duke of Parma.) This marriage resulted in the birth of a daughter, Maria Theresa.[2] Isabella died in 1763. Joseph was reluctant to re-marry; however, for political reasons, in 1765 he married his second cousin, Princess Maria Josepha of Bavaria, the daughter of Charles VII, Holy Roman Emperor and Archduchess Maria Amalia of Austria.[3] This marriage proved extremely unhappy, but lasted only two years, the bride dying of smallpox in 1767. Joseph never re-married. [30]
October 1765
A great many settlers came here from Maryland and Virginia, The. latter predominated, and took up lands by “Tomahawk Claims”, believing was legal to do so, and that the land belonged to Virginia. It really belonged to the Indians.
In October, 1765, the King of England, having been advised of these occupations of land, instructed Governor Penn’ to drive the people out. Proclamations were issued, but no force was used.[31]
The first major American opposition to British policy came in 1765 after Parliament passed the Stamp Act, a taxation measure to raise revenues for a standing British army in America. Under the banner of "no taxation without representation," colonists convened the Stamp Act Congress in October 1765 to vocalize their opposition to the tax. [32]
October 1766
In October 1766, Penn asked Governor Fauquier and the Assembly to take action against those of Redstone Creek and Monongahela, whose lands had not been acquired by purchase from the Indians.[33]
October 1770[34] There are two sets of diary entries for those portions of Oct. and Nov. 1770 covering GW’s trip to the Ohio country. Selections from the first set of entries are printed here. The second set describes in great detail the quality of the land the party passed through. It is printed in its entirety in Diaries, 2147
October 1770: Washington had known Crawford since his youth, and often employed him as his chief surveyor. Crawford had accompanied Washington and Dr. James Craik, later surgeon-general of the Continental Army, on their canoe journey down the Ohio River in October 1770 in search of valuable bottomlands. The next year, Crawford surveyed thousands of acres in present West Virginia, including 2,314 acres in Wood County, known as Washington Bottom, and 10,000 acres at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha rivers in Mason County. These tracts were registered by Crawford for Washington in 1772.[35]
October 17, 1770: (GW) Arrivd at Fort[36]—dining at one Widow Miers[37] at Turtle Creek.[38]
October 17th, 1770: (GW)--Dr. Craik and myself, with Capt. Crawford and others, arrived at Fort Pitt, distance from the crossing, forty-three and a half measured miles. In riding this distance we passed over a great deal of measured miles. In riding this distance we passed over a great deal of exceedingly fine land, chiefly white oak, especially from Sewickly creek to Turtle creek, but the whole broken; resembling, as I think all the lands in this country do, the Loudon lands. We lodged in what is called the town, distant about three hundred yards from the fort, at one Semplie’s, who keeps a very good house of public entertainment.
The houses which are built of logs, and ranged in streets, are on the Monongahela, and I suppose may be about twenty in number, and inhabited by Indian traders. The fort is built on the point near the rivers Allegheny and Monongahela, but not so near the pitch of it as Fort Du Quesne stood. It is five sided and regular, two of which near the land are of brick; the other stockade. A moat encompasses it. The garrison consists of two companies of Royal Irish, commanded by Capt. Edmondson[39]
October 17, 1770; Dr. Craik, myself, Capt. Crawford and others arrived at Ft. Pitt, distant from the crossing 43 miles. In riding this distance we passed over a great deal of exceeding fine land especially from Sweisly Creek to Turtle Creek but the whole broken. The Fort (Fort Pitt) built in the point between the river Allegany and Monongahelia but not so far near the pitch of which after Ft. Duquesne[40] stood. It is 5 sided, and regular 2 of it (next the land) are of brick, the others stockade. A mote incompasses it. The garrison consists of 2 companiesw, of Royal Irish Commanded by one Capt. Edmonson. We walked through the town about 300 yards from the fort. These houses are built of logs and ranged into the streets there on the Monongahelia. I suppose there is about 20 in number, inhabited by Indian traders.[41]
October 17, 1771: Washington did not, secure a patent for the Great Meadows tract of two hundred thirty-four acres until February 28, 1782, when he paid the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ₤33 15s. and 8d. for it. William Brooks had applied for the tract June 13, 1769, after the Penns opened their land office and Washington bought his interest in the application on October 17, 1771. [42]
October 17, 1771: Rid to the Ferry Plantn. & Mill after Breakfast. Captn. Crawford went to Doctr. Craiks after dinner. [43]
October 1773: John Vance, 1754. (or 1746 according to his pension application). He was married in October 1773, by his uncle Col. Wm. Crawford in southwestern PA, to Nancy ?. John served in the Rev. war as a sargeant major and was wounded at Germantown. Both John and his wife recieved pensions for his REV war service (W. 6338). [44]

John Vance, 1754. (or 1746 according to his pension application). He was married in Oct. 1773, by his uncle Col. Wm. Crawford in southwestern PA, to Nancy ?. John served in the Rev. war as a sargeant major and was wounded at Germantown. Both John and his wife recieved pensions for his REV war service (W. 6338). John died 8 Feb 1827. The place of his death is uncertain from the pension file. Nancy filed for her widow's pension from Pendelton Co, not WVA. She died 8 Feb 1845. [45]
October 1773: The territory of Westmoreland County out of which Wash-
ington County was afterwards erected, must have been very much
of a wilderness in 1773, although at that date settlers had seated
themselves in many parts of it; for, at the October Term, October 1773, of the Court of Quarter Sessions of that County, "upon the Petition of Divers Inhabitants of the township of Pitt" viewers were appointed to lay out "a Public Road leading from the South-West ' side of the Monongahela River opposite the town of Pittsburg, by Dr. Edward Hand's land on the Chartiers, to the Settlement up said | creek supposed to be at or near the western Boundary of the Province of Pennsylvania." There are reasons for believing that the settlement here referred to was the settlement in the neighbor-
hood of the present Canonsburg[46], or on the East Branch of Chartiers. At all events this was the first attempt to lay out by judicial proceedings a public road in any part of what is now Washington County. [47]

October 1775: Tabb, George. A soldier who enlisted in Captain Stephenson's company in 1775, with his brother William. On hearing of the death of another brother these young men obtained a discharge in October 1775, and went home to Berkeley. There was also a Captain Thomas Tabbe, or Tabb, but whether he was from Berkeley we do not know. He commanded Company No. 4 of Morgan's Riflemen at one time (1778). The Tabbs were members of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and some of them are buried in the old P. E. church-yard in Shepherdstown. [50]

October 1777: Founded in 1777 by the Virginia General Assembly, on land donated by Conrad Moore was placed near the center of the valley, at the confluence of the south fork and the south branch of the Potomac river. ½ acre lots were sold and new owners were required to build an 18 foot structure with a chimney of stone or brick within two years of purchasing the lot. Nestled in the Potomac highlands, surrounded by historic valleys and rich pastuer land you will find one of West Virginia’s best kept secrets. Historic Moorefield West Virginia. The first inhabitants of the south branch valley were indian tribes who hunted and cleared fields where they raised crops. The Seneca trail ran through the valley.[52]
October 1777: The Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg and the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel did not at first offer their services, but Colonel Faucitt found no difficulty in entering into negotiations with them. The Margrave of Anspach-Bayreuth made an offer of two battalions in the autumn Of 1775, but the treaty with him was not entered into for more than a year afterwards, and finally, in October, 1777, an agreement was made with the Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst, who had long been doing all in his power to bring one about. Offers of troops on the part of the Elector of Bavaria and the Duke of Wurtemberg led to no result, partly on account of the bad quality and equipment of the soldiers offered, and partly, in the case of the latter, on account of the trouble made by Frederick the Great about the passage of troops through his dominions. Proposals of several other small German princes came to nothing.[53]
October 1777
…they formed the left end of the Hessian line at the attack on Fort Mercer in New Jersey, the Battle of Red Bank. Afterward went into barracks in Philadelphia. [54]
October 1777: In 1776, the Continental Congress appointed Benjamin Franklin, Silas Deane, and Arthur Lee to a diplomatic commission to secure a formal alliance with France. Covert French aid began filtering into the colonies soon after the outbreak of hostilities in 1775, but it was not until the American victory at the Battle of Saratoga in October 1777 that the French became convinced that the Americans were worth backing in a formal treaty. [55]
October 17, 1777: 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.[56]
October 17, 1777
The Hession Prisoners
In the preparation of the foregoing chapters, the author had occasion to mention the Hessian Prisoners. It may be well to condense scraps of their history for future reference.
At the battle of Saratoga, Genl. (Baron) Riedesel surrendered to the American Army the remnant of his command, about 8,ooo men of every class and grade. All were the Hesse-Darmstadt contingent of the British Army. From the battlefield, these Hessian prisoners marched to Boston. Efforts were made at once by Genl. Washington to have them exchanged. A convention was held, composed of officers from both armies, to consider the terms. An agreement was effected; the prisoners were allowed to return to their native country, on conditions that they should not be rehired to fight against the Americans. Pending these negotiations, an alliance was formed between France and the United States. France protested against their return, giving the reason that these prisoners would be employed against France on the coatinent Congress annulled the cartel, and disregarded protests of Genl. Washington and officers. At the suggestion of Mr. Jefferson, Governor of Virginia, the entire Hessian Army and was sent to Williamsburg, Virginia On their march, the inhabitants were greatly disturbed but no serious trouble occurred. At this time every American patriot detested the Hessians. When Williamsburg was reached, they found ample provision had been made by the Governor for their safe and comfortable stay. Stockades had been made for the rank and file; and quarters secured for the genera1 soldiers?. Many of the men desired separate residence in that section, and were allowed to under certain conditions. From Williamsburg, the main body marched in three groups. One to Charlottesville, one to Winchester and one to Fredrick. The first arrived in Winchester, numbered 710; and were quartered in the town temporarily; arid, as cithers arrived, swelling the number to nearly two thousand, they were gradually transferred from: tents to cabins, on the farm West of Winchester the property of Mr. Glaize, as already stated.
During his imprisonment in Virginia the Hessian General seems to have enjoyed many liberties under his parole; for Mr. Jefferson’s well preserved papers through a correspondence between the Governor and the General: while the latter with his wife sojourned at Berkeley Springs.
The writer is well aware that some historians state with authority that no Hessian prisoners were allowed to remain in America, when the command was released by articles of peace. He, however, could name quite a number who remained in the Shenandoah Valley. Several families in Winchester and Frederick County of today have been traced to certain Hessians with odd names.
The Governor of the State was regarded as the Commissioner General of the Convention Prisoners. We have shown elsewhere who several of his deputy corn missioners-generals were.[57]
The main body of the Braunschwieg contingent of troops was captured at the battles of Saratoga (first and second Stillwater, also called Freeman’s Farm and Bemis Heights) These prisoners, forming part of the so—called Convention Army, were eventually moved from near Boston southward to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and on to Winchester (Albemarle Barracks) in Virginia. There were numerous opportunities to escape, both in New England and Virginia, and many prisoners were hired out to farmers in Pennsylvania (see the Lancaster prisoner of war lists herein). [58]etle
October 1778: One of the laws of Virginia on the subject of land bounties refers to them, as having been 'promised by ordinance of Convention.' This circumstance made a search for that ordinance necessary. There were three sessions of a Convention held in the year 1775. By an act of the last, the Convention of 1776 was regularly elected. The present controversy has had the effect of collecting the journals of both Conventions. They are now, for the first time, published. A perusal of them will show, that the Conventions, although they provided for raising troops, never made a promise of land bounty to any description of the public forces. Indeed, until they declared the State independent, they had asserted no claim whatever to the crown lands, such a promise would have appeared absurd. The first mention of a land bounty will be found in the acts of the first regular General Assembly at their October session in 1776, chapters 11. and 21. enacted after the death of Hugh Stevenson. The practice of giving bounties in land was followed up by the acts of October 1778, c. 45, May 1779, c. 6., and the manner of carrying them into grant was provided for by the acts of May 1779, c. 18. and of October 1779, c. 21. But these laws having omitted to provide for the heirs of those who were, or should be, lost in the service, two others were passed. By the first a promise was made to the officers and soldiers, then living, in these words: 'and when any officer, soldier, or sailor, shall have fallen, or died in the service, his heirs or legal representatives shall be entitled to, and receive, the same quantity of land as would have been due to such officer, soldier or sailor, respectively, had he been living.'e The second is in the following words, (comprehending the case of H Stevenson:) 'That the legal representatives of any officer, on continental or State establishment, who may have died in the service, before the bounty in lands promised by this or any former act, shall be entitled to demand and receive the same in like manner as the officer himself might have done if living. It is observable, that the latter act only respects the heir of an officer who had fallen before any land bounty was promised

Crockett's Western Battalion, Virginia State Forces 1780-1781
October 1779, the Virginia State Assembly enacted legislation to raise a "Western Battalion" of state regular troops to protect her frontier and keep open the supply and communication lines between the state regular and militia forces far to the west in the Ohio Valley (including George Rogers Clark's Illinois Regiment, raised two years earlier). Ordered to join Greene's Southern Army in February 1781. The regiment had already begun its march into the Carolinas when it was diverted westward, joining Clark's forces then assembling at Yohogania Court House (now West Virginia) for a proposed expedition to take British-held Detroit on May 23; it was not until August that most of the battalion, along with the other volunteers and regulars in Clark's little army, took the field.

October 1781: Weedon resigned the post he was given on this day in history one year later when, at Valley Forge, Congress promoted a rival Virginian and French and Indian War veteran, William Woodford, to a position outranking him. Although he never returned to full duty in the Virginia regiment, Weedon continued his service to his country by leading a brigade of Virginia militia during the Battle of Yorktown in October 1781. Woodford was captured during the siege of Charleston and died in captivity in 1780. Weedon lived to see the new nation established; he died in 1793.
Weedon's orderly book--his record of orders and battle plans--from Valley Forge remains in the holdings of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia.[67]
October 1781: During the American Revolution, French naval fleets proved critical in the defeat of the British, which culminated in the Battle of Yorktown in October 1781.[68]
October 1781: Reportedly visited Lodge No. 9 at Yorktown, VA with General Lafayette after defeat of British General Cornwallis.[69]
In October of 1781 Crawford retired from the service and returned to his farm, hoping to spend the remainder of his days with his family. At the age of 59 he had given nearly twenty-five years of his life to the service of his country.[70]

October 17-20, 1781: The surrender of Lord Cornwallis took place at Yorktown during October 17th
- 20th, 1781(17), more than three years after John was discharged from military service. Second, the subject John Dodson was a member of the First Regiment Maryland Line, recruited to fill the quota for Anne Arundel County, Maryland(18). Col. Thomas Bull commanded the 1st Company, 2nd Bn, Chester County, Pennsylvania troops. (19) Thus, John Dodson was in the wrong military unit and at the wrong time to have been at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis.
Units of Pennsylvania troops apparently did participate in the action at Yorktown(20). There was a John
Dodson in the 1st Company, 2" battalion, Chester County, Pennsylvania troops commanded by Lt. Col.
Thomas Bull also reported by Rev. Ege(21). [72]

October 1784: Treaty of Fort Stanwix (1784)

Map showing Pennsylvania and the territory involved in the two purchases of 1768 and 1784.
The Treaty of Fort Stanwix was a treaty signed in October 1784 at Fort Stanwix, located in present-day Rome, New York, between the United States and Native Americans. It was one of several treaties between Native Americans and the United States after the American victory in the Revolutionary War.
The treaty served as a peace treaty between the Iroquois and the Americans, since the Indians had been ignored in the Treaty of Paris. Joseph Brant was the leading Indian at the start of negotiations. He said "But we must observe to you, that we are sent in order to make peace, and that we are not authorized, to stipulate any particular cession of lands."[1] Brant had to leave early for a planned trip to England. The leading Indian representatives who signed the treaty were Cornplanter and Captain Aaron Hill. In this treaty the Iroquois Confederacy ceded all claims to the Ohio territory, a strip of land along the Niagara river, and all land west of mouth of Buffalo creek. In Pennsylvania the land acquired in this treaty is known as the "Last Purchase".
The Six Nations council at Buffalo Creek refused to ratify the treaty, denying that their delegates had the power to give away such large tracts of land. They asked the Americans for return of the deeds and promised to indemnify them for any presents they had given. The general Indian confederacy also disavowed the treaty because most of the Six Nations did not live in the Ohio territory. The Ohio Country natives, including the Shawnee Indians, the Mingo Indians, the Delaware Indians, and several other tribes rejected the treaty. A series of treaties and land sales with these tribes soon followed:
•1785 Treaty of Fort McIntosh with Wyandotte, Delaware, Chippewa and Ottawa leaders for lands in Ohio
•1786 Treaty of Fort Finney with Shawnee leaders for portions of Ohio
•1788 Phelps and Gorham Purchase with the Iroquois for lands in New York State east of the Genesee River
•1789 Treaty of Fort Harmar reiterating claims in Ohio
•1794 Treaty of Canandaigua establishing peace with the Iroquois and affirming lands rights in New York State east of the Genesee River
1797 Treaty of Big Tree with the Iroquois for lands in New York State west of the Genesee River[75][76]
October 1785: Hardy was formed from part of Hampshire County. It was named in honor of Samuel Hardy (1758-1785). He was born in Isle, Wight County Virginia in 1758 and graduated from William and Mary College in 1781. An attorney, he served in the Virginia General Assembly in 1777 and in 1781, represented Virginia in the Continental Congress in 1783 and 1785, served briefly as Virginia's lieutenant governor and was a signer of the Deed of Cession that transferred the Northwest territory to the American government. He died in New York in October 1785. [77]
October 1786: PENNSYLVANIA SUPREME COURT Justice Thomas McKean, riding circuit in the western part of the state, presided over the trial in Washington, Pa., in October 1786. Because the record of the trial is extremely sparse, it is impossible to know if anyone involved asked for a change of venue to a community that had not been named after the plaintiff.
A flamboyant Pittsburgher represented the Seceders: Hugh Henry Brackenridge, the leading literary figure west of the mountains, a title for which, admittedly, there were few rival claimants. Brackenridge started the first newspaper in the West, having contrived, with a partner, to haul a printing press over the Alleghenies. He also wrote plays, pamphlets and a novel titled Modern Chivalry. He would someday be a savvy advocate of restraint during the Whiskey Rebellion, which would incite the wrath of then-President Washington. But that was in the future: There was no such thing yet as a U.S. president. For now, Brackenridge was a local lawyer taking on a case against a retired war hero.
Washington said he wanted to travel to western Pennsylvania for the trial, but he pleaded illness. Possibly he couldn't stomach another encounter with the western rabble.
Smith, Washington's attorney, took the case to trial with great anxiety. He'd never been more agitated, he later told Washington. He was a successful man, elected to public offices, but to represent such a client was clearly the pinnacle of his career. It could not have been a palliative to his nerves to be reminded with each letter from Mount Vernon precisely how much the client cared about the suit. Failure was not an option. [78]
October 1786: Australia, once known as New South Wales, was originally planned as a penal colony. In October 1786, the British government appointed Arthur Phillip captain of the HMS Sirius, and commissioned him to establish an agricultural work camp there for British convicts. With little idea of what he could expect from the mysterious and distant land, Phillip had great difficulty assembling the fleet that was to make the journey. His requests for more experienced farmers to assist the penal colony were repeatedly denied, and he was both poorly funded and outfitted. Nonetheless, accompanied by a small contingent of Marines and other officers, Phillip led his 1,000-strong party, of whom more than 700 were convicts, around Africa to the eastern side of Australia. In all, the voyage lasted eight months, claiming the deaths of some 30 men.
The first years of settlement were nearly disastrous. Cursed with poor soil, an unfamiliar climate and workers who were ignorant of farming, Phillip had great difficulty keeping the men alive. The colony was on the verge of outright starvation for several years, and the marines sent to keep order were not up to the task. Phillip, who proved to be a tough but fair-minded leader, persevered by appointing convicts to positions of responsibility and oversight. Floggings and hangings were commonplace, but so was egalitarianism. As Phillip said before leaving England: "In a new country there will be no slavery and hence no slaves." [79]
October 1788
Jackson settled in Nashville[80]
1789 - Benjamin Harrison signed a petition to the Speaker and General Assembly of Virginia - Protest of sundry inhabitants of Bourbon County against a division of the county. [81]
1789 - Benjamin Harrison entered 200 tracts in New Madrid District, Upper Louisiana. Lawrence Harrison, William Harrison, etc. applied for land between the road leading from New Madrid to Ste. Genevieve and St. George's River - subject to the rules and regulations that his most Catholic Majesty hath thought proper to direct for the settling of his territory on the Mississippi. [82] In spite of his accomplishments in Kentucky, Benjamin Harrison seems to have had difficulty settling down. An old land-speculating friend from Pennsylvania, John Morgan, had been into the Louisiana Territory, in about 1789, that part known as Missouri. He wanted Benjamin to go back with him. Missouiri at the end of the 18th century was part of a vast swath of the continent, under the nominal control of Spain. A hamlet in Missouri was given the unlikely name Nuevo Madrid, New Madrid. (For reasons no longer remembered, Spanish Governor Esteban Miro seems to have preferred the name, L’Anse a la Grasse, Greasy Bend; maybe he was trying for “grassy bend.”)
The earliest New Madreis settlers, including John Morgan, and possibly Benjamin Harrison, sent entreaties and a delegation down rver to Orloeans. The new Missourians proposed that Spanish Governor Miro adopt policies, which would encourage English speaking settlers to come into the Louisiana Territory. Governor Miro adopt policies, which would encourage English speaking settlers to come into the Louisiana Territory. Governor Miro (gov: 1782-1791) responded with two conditions. His requirements must have seemed laughingly absurd to the energetic, practical minded, land taking, government creating surveyor famers, who had spent lifetimes figuring out how to get onto tillable lands and who had rarely hesitate to threaten or shoot at anybody who interfered with their plans.
American settlers would be welcomed in Missouri, the Spanish Governor explained, if they all become Catholic and if they left behind in Kentucky their notions of representative government. These requirements became moot after Miro returned to Spain and Sp0ain ceded the Louisiana territories to France in 1800. Napoleon, short of cash, sold Louisiana to the United States in 1803.[83]

1789: Disputes in the granting of civic rights raged for a number of years, beginning in 1789, and ended inconclusively. Freedom of worship was given but little else; the Jews were legally nonpersons, excluded from the public law, and could not own land, only rent it. They were considered by and large an unproductive and backward element, and they were as least in part blamed for the general decline of the country.[88]

October 1793: Prince Edward was promoted to the rank of major-general in October 1793 and the next year served successfully in the West Indies campaign being mentioned in dispatches and receiving the thanks of parliament.
After 1794, Prince Edward lived at the headquarters of the Royal Navy's North American Station which was Halifax, Nova Scotia. He was instrumental in shaping that settlement's military defences, protecting its important Royal Navy base, as well as influencing the city's and colony's socio-political and economic institutions. Edward was responsible for the construction of Halifax's iconic Garrison Clock, as well as numerous other civic projects (St. George's Round Church). Lieutenant Governor Sir John Wentworth and Lady Francis Wentworth provided their country residence for the use of Prince Edward and Julie St. Laurent. Extensively renovated, the estate became known as "Prince's Lodge" as the couple hosted numerous dignitaries, including Louis-Phillippe of Orléans (the future King of the French). The only remains of the residence is a small rotunda built by Edward for his regimental band to play music. [92]

October 17, 1862: The guerrillas disbanded and faded away into the night by twos and threes. By morning, there was no one left for the Federals to chase.
On October 17, Quantrill decided to attack Shawneetown, Kansas in
hopes of recouping some of the plunder lost during the pursuit by Burris’
militia. Before reaching Shawneetown they came across a group of about thirty
Union soldiers on the Santa Fe Trail escorting a supply wagon train. The Union
soldiers were taking a break and had no guards posted. Quantrill’s men
attacked and in a few minutes, half the soldiers were dead with the rest on the
run. The raiders then rode into Shawneetown and sacked it much as they had
Olathe, but this time they killed a number of civilians. The guerrillas put the
town to the torch and left it a ruin. For the second time in a few weeks
Quantrill’s Raiders had invaded and sacked a Kansas border town and the
citizens of eastern Kansas were in a panic. Many fled to the interior of the
state while others left Kansas altogether.[97]

October 17, 1945: Operation Magic Carpet
Restored to peak condition, Enterprise voyaged to Pearl Harbor, returning to the States with some 1,100 servicemen due for discharge, then sailed on to New York, arriving on October 17, 1945. Two weeks later, she proceeded to Boston for installation of additional berthing facilities, then began a series of Operation Magic Carpet voyages to Europe, bringing more than 10,000 veterans home in her final service to her country. During the Enterprise’s last Magic Carpet voyage, the ship was caught in a severe gale in the Atlantic. The crew came close to abandoning ship and the carrier was forced to return to New York.
On one trip to Europe, she was boarded by the British First Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Albert Alexander, who presented Enterprise with a British Admiralty Pennant that was hoisted when a majority of the Admiralty Board members were present. The pennant was given to the Big E as a token of respect from an ally. Thus, Enterprise is the only ship outside the Royal Navy to receive the honor in the more than 400 years since its creation.[105]

[28] Appalachian Mountains. Mountain range extending from southern Quebec Province south to the region of northern Alabama and Georgia. The ridge of this range forms the eastern continental divide with rivers and streams on the east side flowing to the Atlantic and those on the western slope flowing to the Gulf of Mexico or the St. Lawrence. The English colonies in eastern North America of the 1600-1750 period were limited in their western expansion by this ridge. Several river valleys and passes connected the two sides of the ridge, but until the end of the French and Indian War (1763) France was the more dominant political power in the Mississippi Valley.
Due to the continuing ridges and valleys in PA of the Appalachians, early settlers described this obstacle to westward expansion as the "Endless Mountains." Two waterways led deep into, but not through, the mountains—they were the West Branch of the Susquehanna River and the Juniata River.
In Choctaw the word “a’palachi” translates as “people on the other side.” The Choctaw lived in the area east of the Mississippi River in what is now Mississippi and Alabama. Their language is a variant of the Muskhogean tongue. The Chickasaws and Creeks spoke dialects in this same family. Some point to “Appalachia” (also Apalachee) being the name ascribed to a small tribe that lived in the area from South Carolina down to Florida.

[36] GW had arrived at Fort Pitt.
[37] The Widow Myers’s tavern was probably at Sycamore and Sixth streets within the boundaries of present-day Pittsburgh. It frequently served as a rallying point for frontier militia and was still operating in the17??s. GW spent 3S. gd. at the tavern.

[40] This was, no doubt, the first George Washington looked upon this locality, since the fall of Fort Duquesne, when he and his V8irginia Regulars, piercing through the southwestern Pennsylvania wilderness, fell upon the ruins of Fort Duquesne; after the retreating French. Here we have a picture through the eyes of George Washington, concerning the changes taking place, from the first time he saw it in the autumn of 1753 until the autumn of 1770. This was, in all probability, the third time he visitged this place. 1st, the bearer of letters from Gov. Dinwiddie to the French Commandant; 2nd, the conquering hero of Fort Duquesne; 3rd, in this year of 1770, he entered the Youghiogheny Valley again with plans, to satisfy several great demands of the future. Plans for himself as well as the American generations to follow.

October 17, 1771
Colonel Washington acquired a measure of title to the Fort Necessity plantinat Great Meadows on October 17, when he purchased the interest of William Brooks in a survey dated February 14, 1771, based on an earlier application to the land Office of Pennsylvania, June 13, 1769. He did not perfect this title until after the Revolution, when on February 28, 1782 he secured a patent for tract called “Mt Washington, situate on the east side of Laurel Hill where Braddock’s Road crosses the Great Meadows, formerly Bedford County, now in the county of Westmoreland, containing 234 ½ acres.” This patent is recorded in Fayette
Countyl Pennsylvania, in “Deed book 507,” page 458 and shows a consideration of ₤33 15s. 6d. He purchased the right fo William Athel on February 12, 1782, in an application filed by Athel on April 3, 1769, and had this title perfected by a patent from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, February 8, 1782. For a consideration of ₤48 3s. 5d., Pennsylvania granted to him called “Spring Run.” On the south side of Youghiogheny, on the waters of said river, formerly in Cumberland, now in Westmoreland County, containing three hundred thirty-one acres, one hundred forty-seven perches, and bounded bye lands of Thomas Jones John Patty, John Pearsall, and Washington’s other lands. These other lands were those which Washinton had personally applied for on April 3, 1769, when the land office was opened, and which the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania granted to him February 8, 1782, for a consideration of ₤48 7d., and described as the “Meadow,” situate on the south side of “Youghogeni” on the waters of said river, formerly in Cumberland County, now in Westmorelamnd County, bounded by John Darsall’s (Pearsall’s, William Athel’s, John Patty’s and John Bishop’s. The deeds for these two tracts are recorded in Fayette County in “Deed Book 180,” pages 294, 296, respectively.
George Washington owned the Great Meadows tract at the time of his death on December 14, 1799, and under the authority containede in his will, William A. Washington, George S. Washington, Samuel Washington, and George W. P. Custis, his executors, by Bushrod Washington and Lawrence Lewis, their attorneys, conveyed the Great Meadows to Andrew Parks of the town of Baltimore. By later conveyances this historic shrine has come under the control of the Pennsyvania Department of Forests and Waters, with the actual fort site deeded to the United States of America.[43] [43] Diaries of George Washington, University Press of Virginia, 1978

[46] Canonsburg. Early settlers were from Virginia. A member of the Virginia assembly, John Canon, operated a gristmill dating from 1781—Canonsburg Milling Company. Canon was a militia officer and laid-out the city of Canonsburg, on Chartiers Creek, in 1787. In 1785, Dr. John McMillan started the log school which became Jefferson College in 1794.

[59] 1 Lachlan Mclntosh, Jr., was son of General Mclntosh and served as First Lieutenant
in the First Georgia Regiment from January 7, 1776; Captain and Brigade
Inspector from October of the same year. General Washington's letter of
May 27, 1778, directs him "to attend Brigadier General Mclntosh in the
Western Department . .. and while he remains with the General he is to
act as Brigade inspector to the Troops under his command." At the first
opportunity, at Fort Pitt, his father appointed him a Major and Deputy
Adjutant General, to fare as a Lieutenant Colonel. Heitman, 371; Fitzpatrick,
Writings of Washington, XI,461. At the war's end he died while returning
his mother from North Carolina. Georgia Historical Quarterly, XXXVIII,
133. He kept the Scottish spelling of his first name as his brother John had
with Mackintosh, Ibid., 109 n21.

Pennsylvania Archives, 5th ser., Ill,335. On April 1, 1779, he was appointed
First Lieutenant in place of Basil Prather, who then resigned. Heitman,
225, gives his record thus: Ensign 5th Pennsylvania Btn. Aug. 9, 1776;
2nd Lieutenant, 8th Penna. Regt. July 13, 1777; 1st Lieutenant 8th Penna.

[61] Daniel Brodhead was born in Ulster County, New York, in 1736 (not in 1725
as in Pennsylvania Archives) and was brought, while very young, to (now)
East Stroudsburg, Monroe County, Pa., by his pioneering father. The Delaware
and Lehigh Valleys were ravaged by Indians in 1755, when the Brodhead
house was successfully defended by the settlers.
In 1771, Daniel was appointed Deputy Surveyor under John Lukens,
Surveyor General of Pennsylvania, and moved to Reading. In 1775, he was
delegate to the Provincial Convention and, early in 1776, was appointed
colonel of Miles' Rifle Battalion, which saw service during the British attack
on the Delaware, and at the Battle of Long Island, where the Battalion was
decimated, later reformed as the State Regiment of Foot. Brodhead received
the colonelcy of the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment, March 1, 1777, and was at
Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Paoli, Germantown, and part of the winter
at Valley Forge. In the Spring of 1778, he was ordered to Fort Pitt, making
a detour to the Susquehanna Valley to rout ravaging Indians. He commanded
a brigade in Mclntosh's army on the Fort Laurens Campaign and succeeded
to the command of the Western Department after Mclntosh's recall, from
May 1779, to September 1781. During that time he led expeditions to
Coshocton and up the Allegheny against the Indian towns. On September 30,
1783, he was brevetted Brigadier General.
After the war Brodhead served in the Pennsylvania Assembly and, 1789-
1800, was Surveyor General. He married (his second marriage) the widow
of Governor Mifflin and spent the remainder of his life in Milford, Pike
County, Pa., where he died November 5, 1809. Pennsylvania Archives, 2nd ser. X,
661-662; Ibid., 5th ser., Ill,310; Kellogg, Frontier Advance, 58; Heitman, 122;
Dictionary of American Biography, III,62 (hereinafter noted as DAB).
[62] 4 Daniel Leet, son of Isaac Leet, was born in Bordertown, New Jersey, 1748.
(There is some doubt as to the date of his birth.) The family moved to
Prince William County, Virginia, and Daniel attended William and Mary
College, where he received a diploma in surveying. He assisted William
Crawford (note 5, below) in surveying Washington Lands as early as 1773.
In 1776, he was appointed Deputy Surveyor in Augusta County. Boyd
Crumrine, History of Washington County, Penna., Philadelphia (1882), 226,
797. About 1773 Leet moved to (now) Washington County and settled near
the headwaters of Chartiers Creek, south of (present) Washington, Pa.
Leet joined the army as Regimental Quartermaster in the 13th Virginia Regiment,
Jan. 1, 1777; Regimental Paymaster, Oct. 1, 1777; retired Sept. 30,
1778. He became Brigade Major of a Virginia brigade, Dec. 21, 1778 to the
close of the War. Heitman, 346. As here stated, in the orders of October 17,
he was appointed to that office. He was Brigade Major in Crawford's expe1960
AN ORDERLY BOOK OF MCINTOSH's EXPEDITION, 1778 171
dition in 1782, and succeeded to the command of the regiment after Major
Brinton (note 14) was wounded.
One of Leet's most important services was performed when, in 1783, he
was appointed one of the surveyors of the Depreciation Lands, including
parts of Allegheny, Beaver and Lawrence Counties. He continued to live in
his homestead tract near Washington until late in life, when he moved to the
"Sewickley Bottoms" estate of his daughter, Mrs. David Shields (Shields,
Pa.), in 1829. There he died, June 18, 1830. Pennsylvania Archives, 3rd
ser., Ill,766ff (map fol. p. 758). C. W. Butterfield, An Historical Account of
the Expedition Against Sandusky Under Colonel William Crawford, 1782,
Cincinnati (1873), 77, 124, 207, 219, 296 (hereinafter noted as Butterfield,
Crawford's Expedition, 1782); Daniel Agnew, A History of Pennsylvania
North of the Ohio and West of the Allegheny River, Philadelphia (1887),
22-29 (hereinafter noted as Agnew, History of North Western Pennsylvania) .
[63] 5 William Crawford, patriot and one of the outstanding tragic characters of American
history, was born in Frederick, now Berkeley County, Virginia, in 1732.
He was a brother of Valentine, the trader, and half-brother of the five Stephensons,
among whom were Hugh, John, and Richard (see Introduction to
the Orderly Book). Franklin Ellis in his History of Fayette County, Pa.,
Philadelphia (1882), 522ff, states that Mrs. Stephenson had, in all, seven
stalwart sons of unusual size and vigor, by both marriages. He also states
that Washington stayed at her house while surveying part of the Fairfax
lands and taught William the surveying art.
The first record of Crawford's military service is Washington's order
given at Winchester, Dec. 28, 1755: "Nathaniel Gist is appointed Lieutenant,
and William Crawford Ensign, in a Company of Scouts Commanded by
Christopher Gist." Fitzpatrick, Writings of Washington, I, 261. Ellis may
be right in controverting both DAB and Butterfield in the statement that
he was in Braddock's army; but Crawford's affidavit, made in 1780, upon
which the assertion is made, "that his first acquaintance with the Country
on the Ohio was in the year 1758 ...." does not preclude the fact that he
may well have been on the Monongahela at the time of the battle (1755).
Ellis, Hist, of Fayette Co., 61. He was a lieutenant in the Forbes campaign
in 1758, having been commissioned in Washington's regiment, June 1757.
The Papers of Henry Bouquet, Vol. II,the Forbes Expedition, S. K. Stevens,
Harrisburg (1941), 143-144 (hereinafter noted as Stevens, Bouquet Papers).
Crawford settled at Stewart's Crossing on the Youghiogheny (present Connellsville)
in 1765, bringing his family the next year. The succeeding years
were full of activity as surveyor for George, Samuel, John Augustine, and
Lund Washington, in locating lands and viewing lands for veterans of the
French and Indian War. Washington stayed at his house during one of these
trips (1770), and Crawford accompanied him down the Ohio and up the
Kanawha. C. W. Butterfield, Washington-Crawford Letters, Cincinnati (1877),
the entire work; Eugene E. Prussing, The Estate of George Washington,
Deceased, Boston (1927), 301, 324-327, 341-342. In Dunmore's War Crawford
became a major and, in the jurisdictional controversies in Western
Pennsylvania, was a strong partizan of Virginia.
At the Revolutionary Meeting held at Fort Pitt in May 1775, Crawford
was a leader. Commissioned Lieutenant Colonel of the 5th Virginia Regiment,
February 13, 1776, and Colonel of the 7th, August 14, 1776, he served through the
Battle of Long Island, the retreat through New Jersey, Trenton, Princeton,
Brandywine, Germantown, and the winter at Valley Forge. He resigned
March 22, but Washington recommended him for command of one of the new
Virginia regiments at Fort Pitt, and he commanded a brigade in Mclntosh's
expedition to Ohio in 1778-1779. He continued with Brodhead at Fort Pitt
and through the expeditions to Coshocton and against the Indian towns on
the Allegheny. For a short time he commanded at Fort Pitt.
After the war Colonel Crawford retired to his plantation on the Youghiogheny
but undertook, at the request of General WilliamIrvine, the command
of an expedition against the Indians at Sandusky. This ended disastrously,

June 5, 1782, and Colonel Crawford, with several of his relatives and officers,
was burned at the stake amid horrible tortures. See Dr. McKnight's Narrative,

life are given in Butterfield, Washington-Crawford Letters, p. 11; Butterfield,

Sept. 6, 1775; Captain, March 5, 1776; Major in the 13th Virginia, Feb. 4,

the 2nd Virginia, Dec. 7, 1779; retired, Feb. 12, 1781. He fought at Brandywine,
Germantown and Monmouth. Heitman, 534; J. H. Gwathmey, Historical
Register of Virginians in the Revolution, Richmond (1938), 761. After
the war he moved to the neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, with his
family in 1785. He was a member of the Constitutional and other conventions
and the State Assembly. He also became a judge and U. S. Collector
of Revenue. It is notable that he was the father of the future General
Zachary Taylor, twelfth President of the United States. He died in 1826.
