November 5, 1577: To THE Archbishop of Glasgow. [3]
From Sheffield, the 5th Nov. [1577.]
My Lord of Glasgow, — In consequence of information which I have lately received of the designs of this queen to get possession of the person of my son, I let you know briefly, according as the opportunity requires it, and the conveyance hastily procured presses me, the determination which I have taken to anticipate these designs, if possible, and to effect, with all the expedition in my power, the removal of my son out of Scotland. Whereupon, I hope that you will not fail, ^[4]according to my letters, to communicate with the gentlemen, my relations, to make proposals to the king and queen-mother, and to provide for it in the best manner which you together shall resolve, leaving it entirely to their good friendship towards me, and your duty and diligence. I shall, therefore, say nothing more on this, except that, by the new regulation of my son's household, DrumquhassiP has been appointed his master thereof, which is a great advantage for the execution of this design, if the said Drumquhassil remains faithful,
according to his promises. I know that he depends entirely on the Countess of Lennox, my mother-in-law; but, from what she has lately led me to understand, she is no less desirous of this removal than I am, and is extremely displeased and irritated against Morton for a letter which he has written to her, and which has been shewn to me, the most insolent and disdainful which ever a king wrote to the meanest lord
of his subjects. I thank God that she daily learns the insincerity and evil dispositions of those who were formerly assisted with her name against myself ; their aim having always been against our whole race, as at present they make it evidently to appear. Therefore we both dread so much the dangers into which my son's person may fall, whom this wicked traitor wished, in that last assembly of which I wrote to you, to persuade to take henceforward more liberty, and to go to the chase or the hawking about Stirling ; which the little fellow smartly refused, replying to him that he had only two years to be at full liberty, and that in the meanwhile he would content himself with reading his books, where he had been brought up and was accustomed. Whereupon, the said Morton answering that he was ready to divest himself of the regency to do him service in such way as seemed good to
him, whenever he ordered him, he added very sharply that he had accepted and administered the said regency without his order, and that so without him he should quit it when the time arrived ; but, in the meanwhile, that he advised him to behave himself in such a manner that he might be able to render a good account both of his conduct and of the state to those to whom it appertained. If these proposals have been
entertained, as they have led me to believe, they proceed from some previous instruction. Write frequently, and cause the king and the gentlemen my relations to write very favourably to Alexander Erskine, George Douglas, Drumquhassil, and others whom you shall consider capable of being employed, to persuade them to this removal, so that with all speed it may be executed according to my intention. If, to
work upon them by presents, or satisfy the necessary expenditure, there is need of an advance of money, you will urgently intreat the Cardinal of Guise not to abandon me in this strait, and use therein a part of the sum which you have heretofore been charged by him to offer to me, as I am sure that on his credit it will produce more. Extract also from
Dolu what you can, making him thoroughly comprehend that it is to be used on an occasion of great importance. In short, leave no stone unturned until my son is safely delivered in France ; and for his maintenance, when he shall arrive there, follow up actively with the Pope the execution of that which you formerly proposed to him on this same point, in order that the gentlemen my relations may not find them-
selves overburdened, if the king, pressed as he is by the necessity of his affairs, should happen to fail him. I doubt not that Spain is jealous of it ; but in time I shall be able to remove it, when they know that necessity alone has led me to this point, and that all has passed without engaging me or my son with France more than usual. I must in this manner maintain myself with those two kings, until one or other has particularly obliged me by their support or assistance in
the restoration of my affairs.
I wait for your former despatch to know what success has attended your negotiations, both at Kome and by my Lord Ogilvy, regarding the overture which you formerly made on the part of Morton, although from this latter I do not expect much success in it ; for I have been informed that this traitor aifects more than ever the faction here, designing to advance their fortune, as he is sure that they will uphold his tyranny. He has lately received very gracious letters from this queen, who, having been informed by him of some changes which
were hatching in Scotland, has written, since the return of the Marshal of Berwick, by Killigrew, to several noblemen, and chiefly to Atholl, who is said to be their head, that, if they in anything disturbed the authority of the said Morton, under whom matters went on peaceably, she would interfere so far that the power should remain in him, as even to threaten them with chastisement. I have been informed that she gives the said Morton a pension of ten thousand pounds, and has lately granted to him the sale of a forest in Scotland, on the borders of this kingdom, from which he will derive a large sum of money. He has hired five thousand Scots to send as auxiliaries to the states of the Low Countries ; and, in thus stripping the country of its natural inhabitants, he has promised to receive and support the troops of this country, which are kept ready near Berwick, to assist him if needs be,
the report being that a part has already entered Scotland to occupy the strongest places ; so that, if the king has not an eye there, it is much to be feared that he and I may lose what still remains of my good and faithful subjects friends to the alliance with France.
They forward very much the preparations of the army which is shortly to set out for Flanders under the command of Leicester, as lieutenant-general. He is so bold as to make this his first attempt against so strong a party, and in his advanced years. I long for this evertheless, hoping that by this means, wishing to meddle in the government of all
Christendom, they may at length draw upon them the storm which has so long threatened them, and I assure you that I am constrained, by the treatment which I receive, to follow it up as far as in me lies. Wherefore, if, upon the offers and proposals of him who recently accompanied Arnaud to France (I conclude that this is the cause of your recent journey to Flanders), the king has any intention of attending to matters here for the security of his own, urge the gentlemen my elations to maintain and confirm him in this good will, and secretly promote it as vigilantly as you can, until I inform you particularly of my resolution, which will be as soon as I receive the dispatches of Arnaud, and thereby have learned the state of affairs in France, as I hope to be informed of that of Scotland by the report which will be conveyed to you of it by Lord Seton, to whom I beg that you will make my commendations, and assure him of my good will towards him, accord-
ing to his fidelity and good behaviour in my service. The desire which I had of uniting you by the marriage of your brother, causes me to regret his death more than even the loss which I have thereby sustained in a faithful subject and servant.*[5] See that you profit in this misfortune by a firm conviction that length of days comes after all to the weakest, and resolve to continue with your sovereign, during the course of her adversities, as constantly as you have persevered therein
till the present time. I pray God that He may give you all necessary fortitude, and may have you in His holy keeping. I think that you will be fully informed by another conveyance of the prosecution raised, in consequence of the interception of some letters from the Pope, against several Catholics ; among others, a gentleman of distinction, of great
wealth and reputation, named Arundel, related to the old earls of that name, who is condemned to perpetual imprisonment. It is believed, also, that the Spanish ambassador here has been arrested, both for the above cause and for the detention of some ships by the king his master, who is well in formed of what is planned against him here. The sister of
the Prince of Orange resides with this queen, and pretends to act as envoy from her brother, with little honour, if what is said of her is true. Now, that you may not be uneasy by the rumours which may have reached you of these prosecutions, I must not forget to assure you that nothing of these applies to mine, except suspicion, having never written anything which approaches the foundation of such changes, and
from which they can extract any evidence.
Written at Sheffield, this 5th of November.
JP.S. — My Lord of Glasgow, — I have received the bed which you have sent to me ; but, inasmuch as Shrewsbury's people had refused it, as he himself has admitted to me, I have not pressed him much to accept it, the more that he has not made any great request for it, I have retained it for my own use, when I am obliged to change by reason of my own infirmities. I must, on the earliest opportunity, fulfil my promise by another bed of finer stuff. In the meanwhile, I am requested to pro-
cure half-a-dozen great hall-candlesticks, which are made at Crotelles. I beg that you will obtain for me the largest, finest, richest, and best made that you can, and send them to me, carefully packed, through the medium of M. de Mauvissiere, directing them to Nau, as if it were some things wanted in the name of some one of his brother-servants, so that they may create no suspicion, and may pass, if possible, as things of no consequence, without being seen at court. Write to me what you shall have paid, in order that I may reimburse you. I commit you once more to God's keeping. 5th Nov. 1577.
Postscript hy Nau. — Sir, — I have been almost constantly ill for three weeks to the present hour, and still feel myself so unwell that I cannot, as I ought and desire, discharge my duty, which makes me request you to excuse me for not having heard so frequently from me. I shall only say that matters here appear to be in great confusion and danger, to which her majesty exposes herself more, if I must say it, than her safety requires. It vexes me exceedingly to see that she
wants here men of experience and judgment to assist her in advising in such urgency of her affairs, which much exceed my abilities. Every one here deeply regrets the death of your late brother, and I for your sake, more than any other ; and, deferring to write to you of it by the ordinary conveyance, I shall cease to remind you at present of a loss so severe, praying God that He may repair it by the blessing and pros-
perity which I wish you.

November 5, 1688: Believing that his own army would be adequate, James refused the assistance of Louis XIV, fearing that the English would oppose French intervention.[108] When William arrived on November 5, 1688, many Protestant officers, including Churchill, defected and joined William, as did James's own daughter, Princess Anne.[109] James lost his nerve and declined to attack the invading army, despite his army's numerical superiority.[110] [9]In 1688 they were invited by the parliamentary opposition to Mary’s father James II to take the crown on England and were assured of English support. William landed at Torbay on November 5, 1688, in 463 ships unopposed by the Royal Navy, and with an army of 14,000 troops which gathering local support grew to over 20,000 and advanced on London in what became known as ‘The Glorious
Revolution’. James fled to France. [10]
November 5, 1754: Governor Sharpe’s letters to Lord Bury and John Sharpe
In a November 5, 1754 letter to Lord Bury, Governor Sharpe of Maryland states that Washington
had been opening a road ―toward‖ Fort Duquesne earlier in 1754. He was right that
Washington‘s intended destination was Fort Duquesne. Washington intended to take the cannon
(and probably other equipment and supplies) by water. If Washington‘s contemplated offensive
action against Fort Duquesne had actually happened, he would have probably taken the
necessary horses and wagons by road. Governor Sharpe wrote:
With the Force however above numbred & about 300 Men that were to be sent out from
N Carolina to join them Govr Denwiddie hoped to be able at least to act defensively & to
proceed to erect a Fort or two on Ohio till He should receive farther Instructions from
home for his Conduct. while He was about to order this Scheme into Execution
Intelligence was brought him that a Body of about 200 French Regulars had on the 17th
of April come down on the small Party who had been ordered out to prepare Materials
for a Fort & had obliged them to relinquish what materials they had collected for that
purpose & to return again to Virginia. This Information was too soon confirmed to us &
the Enemy immediately begun & have now compleated a Fort considerably strong &
large near the Spot on which our People had begun to build & have mounted therein
several swivels & some Carriage Guns. At the time that Ensign Ward & His Detachment
made the Surrendry above mentioned the Rest of the Virginia Corps & the South
Carolina Company under the Command of one Mr Washington were advancing to
support them & fortify themselves on the River but on being acquainted with the cause of
this their unexpected Return as soon as the Party met him He declined proceeding till He
should be reinforced by the other Troops who were now in motion toward him & in the
mean time employed himself in opening a Road from the Frontiers of this Province
toward the Enemy‘s Fort. while He was in this situation about Midway between the
English Settlements & the Enemy a Party of His Men fell in with Monsieur Jumonville a
Lieutenant & about 30 Men from the Fort (who were sent as twas supposed to intercept a
Convoy of Provisions designed for our men) & having killed Jumonville & 7 or 8 of his
Detachment they took the rest Prisoners & sent them under a Guard to the Governor of
Virginia where they yet remain.[11]

The Virginia Gazette made its first appearance August, 1736, — the first newspaper published in Virginia. John Eaten Cooke describes it as a “small dingy sheet, containing a few items of foreign news; the advertisements of the Williamsburg shopkeepers; notices of the arrival and departure of ships; a few chance particulars relating to persons or events in the colony, and poetical effusions celebrating the charms of Myrtilla, Florella, or other belles of the period.”[12]
November 5, 1768
On November 5, 1768, the Treaty of Fort Stanwix was signed, by which this immense tract of land was purchased from ‘the Indians. Shortly thereafter, land offices were established to distribute the tract to the settlers. [13] Southwestern New York, western Pennsylvania, and parts of West Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky are sold by the League of Iroquois.[14]

The Treaty of Fort Stanwix was an important treaty between North American Indians and the British Empire. It was signed in 1768 at Fort Stanwix, located in present-day Rome, New York. It was negotiated between Sir William Johnson and representatives of the Six Nations (the Iroquois).
The purpose of the conference was to adjust the boundary line between Indian lands and British colonial settlements set forth in the Royal Proclamation of 1763. The British government hoped a new boundary line might bring an end to the rampant frontier violence which had become costly and troublesome. Indians hoped a new, permanent line might hold back British colonial expansion.
The final treaty was signed on November 5 with one signatory for each of the Six Nations and in the presence of representatives from New Jersey, Virginia and Pennsylvania as well as Johnson. The Native American nations present received gifts and cash totaling £10,460 7s. 3d. sterling, the highest payment ever made from colonists to American Indians.[1] The treaty established a Line of Property which extended the earlier proclamation line of the Alleghenies (the divide between the Ohio and coastal watersheds), much farther to the west. The line ran near Fort Pitt and followed the Ohio River as far as the Tennessee River, effectively ceding the Kentucky portion of the Colony of Virginia to the British, as well as most of what is now West Virginia.[1]
Although the Six Nations of New York had previously recognised English rights southeast of the Ohio River at the 1752 Treaty of Logstown, they continued to claim ownership (by conquest) over all land as far south as the Tennessee River — which they still considered their boundary with the Cherokee and other "Southern" tribes. Although representatives of the Indian nations who actually occupied these lands, primarily the Shawnee and Lenape, were present at the negotiations in 1768, they were not signatories and had no real role in the Iroquois' sale of their homeland. Rather than secure peace, the Fort Stanwix treaty helped set the stage for the next round of hostilities along the Ohio River, which would culminate in Dunmore's War.
The treaty also settled land claims between the Six Nations and the Penn family, the proprietors of Pennsylvania, where the lands acquired in 1768 were called the "New Purchase." Due to disputes about the physical boundaries of the settlement, however, the final treaty line would not be fully agreed upon for another five years.

Map showing the "New Purchase" of 1768 in Pennsylvania
The final portion of the Line of Property in Pennsylvania, called the Purchase line in that State, was fixed in 1773 by representatives from the Six Nations and Pennsylvania who met at a spot called Canoe Place[15] at the confluence of West Branch of the Susquehanna River and Cush Cushion Creek in what is now Cherry Tree, Pennsylvania.
The reason for the Treaty of Fort Stanwix was that the press of population growth and economic development turned the attention of investors and land speculators to the area west of the Appalachians. In response to demands by settlers and speculators, British authorities were soon pressing the Iroquois and Cherokees for cessions of land in Indian country. The Treaty of Lochaber with the Cherokee followed in 1770 adjusting boundaries established in the Treaty of Hard Labour, whereby the Cherokee withdrew their claim to part of the same country, encompassing the south part of present-day West Virginia. No longer able to play off rival colonial powers following the British victory in the French and Indian War, Indians were reduced to a choice between compliance and resistance. Weakened by the recent war, they negotiated away parcels of land in exchange for promises of protection from further encroachments. So in 1768, the Iroquois gave up their claim south of the Ohio, hoping thereby to deflect English settlement away from their own homeland.[16]
November 5th, 1770: (GW)—I sent off the canoe with our baggage, and walked across the neck on foot, with Captain Crawford[17]; the distance, according to our walking, about eight miles, as we kept a straight course under time feot of the hills, which run about south-east, amid we were two hours and a half in walkimlg it. ‘This is a good neck, the soil being generally good, and in places rich. There is a large proportion of m~iad~w gm’ound, and the land as high, dry, and level as one could wish ; the growth in most places, beech intermixed with walnut, but more (?) with poplar, of which there are numbers very large. The land towards the upper end is black oak, and very good. Upon the whole, a valuable tract might be hail here, and I judge the quantity to be about four thousand acres. After passing this bottom and the rapid, as also some hills, which jut pretty close to the river, we came to that bottom before remarked on the 29th ultimo. A little above this bottom we encamped; the afternoon being rainy, and the night wet.

Led by John Hancock, Bostonians held the first of the Tea Meetings to discuss the fate of that “baneful weed”. [18]
November 5, 1774
An important meeting was held by West Virginians in which they clearly indicated under which banner they would be found fighting, if Great Britain persited in her course of oppression. This was the first meeting of the kind west of the Alleghanies, and few similar meetings had then been held anywhere. It occurred during the return of Dunmore’s Army from Ohio, twenty-five days after the battle of Point Pleasant. The soldiers hgad heard of the danger of war with England; and, although they were not afraid to let the country know that neither a royal Governor nor any one else could swerve them from their duty as patriots and lovers of liberty. The meeting was at Fort Gower, north of the Ohio River. The soldiers passed resolutions which had the right ring. They recited that they were willing and able to bear all hardships of the woods; to get along for weeks without bread or salt, if necessary; to sleep in the open air; to dress in skins if nothing else could be had; to march further in a day than any other men in the world; to use the rifle with skill and with bravery. They affirmed their zeal in the cause of right, and promised continued allegiance to the King of England, provided he would reign over them as a brave and free people. “But,” they continued, “as attachment to the real interests and just rights of America out weigh every other consideration, we resolve that we will exert every power within us for the defence of American, when regularly called forth by the unanimous voice of our country men.” [19]
To BRIGADIER GENERAL JAMES POTTER
Head Quarters, November 5, 1777. Sir: I have received your Letter of this morning and am sorry find that your orders respecting the Mills have not been carried into execution. it is my desire that the Officer employed this business should be put under Arrest and tried for disodience of orders. the parts of the machinery which he has noved may be very easily replaced, whereas had he followed the directions given him, the end in view would have bc effectually answered.
Colonel Crawford’s party was ordered to join you only: the particular purpose of distressing the Enemy by cutti their Banks; If this Service can be done without them, or found impracticable altogether, I have no motive for detaining them. I am etc.
P. S. As the Corps under your Command will probably an object for the Enemy, you cannot be too vigilant nor guard yourself by too many precautions against surprise; I mention this, in consequence of hints given me of their intentions, a: hope therefore it will have its proper effect.[20][21]

John Parke Custis (November 27, 1754 – November 5, 1781) was a Virginia planter, the son of Martha Washington and stepson of George Washington.
Childhood
The son of Daniel Parke Custis, a wealthy planter, and Martha Dandridge Custis, he was most likely born at White House, his parents' plantation on the Pamunkey River in New Kent County, Virginia.[1][2]
Following his father's death in 1757, almost 18,000 acres (73 km²) of land and about 285 enslaved Africans were held in trust for him.[1] In January 1759, his mother married George Washington. The Washingtons then raised him and his younger sister Martha (Patsy) Parke Custis (1756–1773) at Mount Vernon.[2] Washington became his legal guardian, and administrator of the Custis Estate. Upon his sister's death in 1773 at the age of seventeen, Custis became the sole heir of the Custis estate.[2] Jacky also was a lazy, difficult and "free-willed" child. He took little to no interest in his studies.
Family
In 1773, at the age of eighteen, "Jacky", as he was known by his family, announced to the Washingtons his engagement to Eleanor Calvert, a daughter of Benedict Swingate Calvert and granddaughter of Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore.[2] George and Martha were greatly surprised by the marriage choice due to the couple's youth.[2][3] During that year, Custis began to attend King's College (later Columbia University) in New York City, but left soon afterwards when his sister died.[2]
On February 3, 1774, Custis married Eleanor at her family's home at the Mount Airy estate, whose restored mansion is now in Rosaryville State Park in Prince George's County, Maryland.[2][4][5] After their marriage, the couple settled at the White House plantation.[2] After the couple had lived at the White House for more than two years, John Parke Custis purchased the Abingdon plantation in Fairfax County, Virginia (now in Arlington County, Virginia), into which the couple settled during the winter of 1778-1779.[2][6]
According to one account, Custis served on Washington's staff during the Siege of Boston in 1775-1776 and served as an emissary to the British forces there.[7] He became the friend of a young British officer who gave him a weeping willow (Salix babylonica) twig that he planted at Abingdon.[7] The tree that grew from the twig reportedly became the parent of all weeping willows in the United States.[7]
In 1778, Custis was elected to the Virginia General Assembly as a delegate from Fairfax County.[8] Washington was apparently not pleased with Custis' reported performance in the legislature. Washington wrote to Custis: “I do not suppose that so young a senator as you are, so little versed in political disquisition, can yet have much influence in a popular assembly, composed of various talents and different views, but it is in your power to be punctual in attendance.”[9]
The terms of Abingdon's purchase were extremely unfavorable to Custis. His behavior in this and other matters prompted Washington to write: "I am afraid Jack Custis, in spite of all of the admonition and advice I gave him about selling faster than he brought, is making a ruinous hand of his Estate."[2] By 1781, the financial strains of the Abingdon purchase had almost bankrupted Custis.[2]
John and Eleanor had seven children, four of whom lived to maturity:[1][2]
•Elizabeth Parke Custis (1776–1831), married Thomas Law
•Martha Parke Custis (1777–1854), married Thomas Peter
•Eleanor (Nelly) Parke Custis (1779–1852) (born at Abingdon), married Lawrence Lewis
•George Washington Parke Custis (1781–1857) (born at Mount Airy), married Mary Lee Fitzhugh.
Death
Custis served as a civilian aide-de-camp to Washington during the siege of Yorktown. However, Custis contracted "camp fever" there.[2] Shortly after the surrender of Cornwallis, Custis died on November 5, 1781, in New Kent County at Eltham, the home of Colonel and Mrs. Burwell Bassett, brother-in-law and sister of Martha Washington.[1][2] He was buried at his family's plot near Queen's Creek in York County, near Williamsburg, Virginia.[1][2]
With Custis's premature death at age 26, his widow left their two youngest children (Eleanor and George) at Mount Vernon to be raised by the Washingtons.[2] In 1783, she married Dr. David Stuart of Alexandria, Virginia, with whom she had 16 more children.[10]
Custis died intestate, so his estate was not fully liquidated until the 1811 death of his widow; his four children inherited more than 600 slaves.
Part of the Abingdon estate is now on the grounds of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport[6] At the time that he purchased Abingdon, Custis also bought a nearby property that after his death became the Arlington Plantation and later, Arlington National Cemetery[6]

A brief history of Moorefield Township where Conrad settled appeared in “The History of Clark County “Ref. 9.4). Reference is made herein to the Newlove’s in Harmony Township which is adjacent to Clark on the South. I find no link to Goodlove at this time. Simon Kenton and George Rogers Clark are the heroes of Clark County and Moorefield Township.
Conrad would have learned from Caty’s brother, Theophylus, of the great Indian-White Council held in 1807 at Springfield (Ref 9.5) which we discovered in an old newspaper article at the Springfield Library. Conrad would have remembered George Washington as he was just seven years old when Jefferson became second president in 1803.[29]
In 1807, two men named Bowyer and Morgan, brothers in law, had settled in the southwestern part of the county, and made a clearing. As the country was open, the Indians, in their hunting expeditions, built lodges near by, which Morgan one day burned. This exasperated the Indians, who sought revenge in shooting Bowyer, whom, by accident, they had mistaken for Morgan. The killing was done in sight of the wives of the two men, who, with their children, fled and hid in a thicket. Five Indians passed close by them and approached the body, and finding thay had shot the wrong man, passed on without carrying off any plunder or committing any depredations. It gave geat alarm to the country. Morgan left the country, and many returned to Kentucky. Henry Weaver, long an old resident of Urbana, then a mere lad, was among the few who refused to leave. A deputatuion from Urbana, among them Joseph Vance, went down to William Lemon’s to make note of matters and bury the body. They reported that the killing indicated a prvate grudge, and that there was no cause for general alarm. Mary Lemon rode to Urbgana on horseback behind Joseph Vance, as was the custom. In December of that year (1807), Joseph Vance and Mary Lemon were married.[30] Joseph(4), Joseph Coleville(3), David(2), Andrew(1).
The killing of Bowyer caused very general alarm, and brought in messages of peace from the Indians. A general meeting of the Indians was held at Springfield, and some of the chiefs stopped at Urbana to talk the matter over. Col. Ward and Simon Kenton were present. Ward exhibited great excitement in talk and manner, while Kenton, throughout, remained composed and silent.[31] His knowledge of the Indian character made him take this course and gave an effectiveness to his words when the time came for him to speak.[32]
1807
Springfield was Scene of Great Indian-White Council Held In 1807
Most import of the historical happening that have occurred in the confines of Springfield and one that may have averted an Indian war that would have blotted Springfield, from the map was the great council held in fall of 1807 on ground at the northwest intersection of Main and Spring st., now occupied by the Springfield Rug and Furniture Co.
Local historians have disputed over this council and there are different accounts of what transpired. It is agreed that Tecumseh and McPherson, the two Indian chiefs of the day met there with leaders in the western part of the state to discuss Indian outrages that had driven the settlers around Springfield into a state of terror, sent families flying southward to Kentucky while others had taken refuge in Springfield and stronger houses like the Foos Tavern and a building at the southeast corner of High and Main sts. Had been fortified as citadels
The cover page of the historical section of this issue depicts the scene of the council with Tecumseh disdainfully rejecting the pipe of Governor Edward Tiffin and using his own tomahawk pipe.
Simon Kenton, noted pioneer of the west, present at the council, wanted to kill Tecumseh, arguing that he would cause trouble in future, but his proposal was rejected, according to the Draper manuscripts.
The outrages referred to included killing of a man named Myers near Urbana, the threatening demeanor of an Indian who had called at the Elliott home west of Springfield, close to what was later the Peter Sintz farm. The Indian driven away from the farm, is supposed to have been the one whom a few days later, fired at Mrs. Elliott, the bullet passing through the front of her sunbonnet and grazing her throat.
All accounts agree that Tecumseh, McPherson, Roundhead, and other Indian chiefs led parties of warriors to the council and were met there by representatives of the whites that after three days, the Indians left, having satisfied the whites that as a people they were not responsible for the outrages.
Local historians differ as to the precise location of the council. The Daughters of the American Revolution have placed the tablet commemorative of the event on the Tuttle Bros. Store, which stood where the double log tavern of Griffith Foos then was.
Dr. John Ludlow in the Ludlow papers written in the 70’s, largely relied upon R.C. Woodward, an historian, who wrote in 1852 when the early settlers were still living, and is said y Albert Slager, curator of the Clark County Historical Society to have supplemented his story by talks with the father of Cooley McCord, great grandson of Simon Kenton, now resident in Springfield. Beers in county history follows Ludlow and places the council in the sugar grove across the street from the Foos Tavern. Old residents locate the sugar grove also on the slope the hill north of Main st.
Ludlow an Beers speak of General Benjamin Whiteman, Maj. Moore, Walter Smallwood, Captain Ward and Simon Kenton, John Daugherty, Dr. Richard Hunt and Griffith Foos as being at the council, but do not mention Governor Tiffin. The Ludlow and Beers accounts say Tecumseh threw away the pipe of Dr Hunt, and Hunt shrank back in consternation before Tecumseh’s fierce disgust at the dirty, cheap looking pipe.
Theophilos McKinnon, a resident of London in 1880 sent to the Piqua Battle a paper stating he came to Springfield in 1803 and that Gov. Tiffin had called the council, and when it was seen the Indians were armed, had asked that they remove their arms. Tecumseh refused to part with his tomahawk, which was later seen to be his pipe also. Then Hunt offered his pipe to Tiffin, who offered it to Tecumseh, with the result that Tecumseh hurled it over his shoulder into the bushes behind him with such a fierce ejaculation of disgust that Hunt retreated hurriedly.
It may have been at this juncture that Simon Kenton advised the killing of Tecumseh on the ground that he would later make trouble. Albert Slager has this information relative to Tecumseh in response to inquiries made of the Wisconsin Historical Society, which quotes the number of the Draper massacre.
McKinnons account upon which the presence of Tiffin is based was published in the Springfield Republic of August 12th 1880 and is a well written article. How the presence of Tiffin, the governor could have escaped mention in the other local historical accounts is a puzzle. It would have seemed to have been from the viewpoint of that day the outstanding feature of the council.
McKinnon’s account seems plausible since outrages would be reported to the governor, would cause him concern and he would e the natural party to call the council and the Indians would respond far more readily to a call from the governor than from a body of citizens. The fact that many of the Indians came from as far as Fort Wayne, show it was taken seriously. The governor having called the council and brought the chiefs that far could hardly disregard either the Indians orthe fears of the whites and his proper place would have been at the council as McKinnon says he was.
How the fact should have slipped the memory of the men who talked to Woodward and those who handed down traditions to Ludlow is a mystery. The latter dwell upon Hunt offering the pipe. Tecumseh seems to have filled the eyes of the assemblage to the exclusion of all else and if Tiffin was there no better measurement of the natural power of Tecumseh can be found than that he obscured Governor Tiffin who was among the most ( ) governors of the state.[33]
November 5, 1809: 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. [34]

November 5, 1830: Isabel, the youngest daughter of Moses Crawford, Sr., was single and living at home when the will was made on November 16, 1829, and when she received her share from the settlement, dated November 5, 1830, she was married to George Tong and living in Hancock County, Ohio. The marriage record of this couple has not beren found.This is according to the abstract belonging to the present owner and Vol. 15, page 46, in the Recorder's Office at Lancaster, Ohio.
Six children were born to this union; are provided in the records in Wyandot County, Ohio at Upper Sandusky. They may not be given in the proper succession; Rebecca, Milton, Leander, Winfield, Rachel and Hosea. They were reared in HaNCOCK cOUNTY AND wYANDOT cOUNTY.

The entrance to the Cherokee Removal Memorial Park near Blythe's Ferry, one of the trail's departure points
The number of people who died as a result of the Trail of Tears has been variously estimated. American doctor and missionary Elizur Butler, who made the journey with the Daniel Colston wagon train, estimated 2,000 deaths in the Army removal and internment camps and perhaps another 2,000 on the trail; his total of 4,000 deaths remains the most cited figure, although he acknowledged these were estimates without having seen government or tribal records. A scholarly demographic study in 1973 estimated 2,000 total deaths; another, in 1984, concluded that a total of 6,000 people died.[4] The 4000 figure or one quarter of the tribe was also used by the Smithsonian anthropologist, James Mooney. Since 16,000 Cherokees were enumerated on the 1835 Census, and about 12,000 emigrated in 1838, ergo 4000 needed accounting for. Note that some 1500 Cherokees remained in North Carolina,many more in South Carolina, and Georgia so the higher fatality numbers are unlikely. In addition, nearly 400 Creek or Muskogee Indians who had avoided being removed earlier, fled into the Cherokee Nation and became part of the latter's Removal.
An accounting of the exact number of fatalities during the Removal is also related to discrepancies in expense accounts submitted by Chief John Ross after the Removal that the Army considered inflated and possibly fraudulent. Ross claimed rations for 1600 more Cherokees than were counted by an Army officer, Captain Page, at Ross' Landing as Cherokee groups left their homeland and another Army officer, Captain Stephenson, at Fort Gibson counted them as they arrived in Indian Territory. Ross' accounts are consistently higher numbers than that of the Army disbursing agents.[5] The Van Buren administration refused to pay Ross, but the later Tyler administration eventually approved disbursing more than $500,000 to the Principal Chief in 1842.

Another interesting observation which I have made of William Harrison Goodlove is that he told in his Civil War Diary of selling all his grain, livestock and personal property and taking “his family” to Springville. Occasionally in his diary he said he wrote “to Wildcat Grove.” I found no further information on Esther, his first wife. Family records indicate they had no children and that she “died at Springville” on August 7, 1864, while he was in the Civil War. They had married November 5, 1857.[38]
William Harrison Goodlove (Bk. I, F- 114) was born October 22, 1836, in Moorefield Township, Clark County, Ohio, son of Conrad and Catherine (McKinnon) Goodlove. (Bk. II, F.85) William died January 17, 1916 and is buried at Jordan’s Grove Cemetery. William’s first wife was Ester J. Winans, sister of H. W. Winans, who later served with William in Company H, 24th Infantry during two years of the Civil War. Williaim and Ester were married November 5, 1857. Ester was born in 1836 and died August 7, 1864. No children were born to this union.

Mary Anna Custis Lee
Mary Anna Randolph Custis Lee (October 1, 1808 – November 5, 1873) was a third cousin and the wife of Robert E. Lee, the prominent career military officer who subsequently commanded the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia during the American Civil War.[1] They married at her parents' home, Arlington House, in Virginia in 1831, and had seven children together; she survived him by three years.

Mary Anna Custis Lee and her son, Robert E. Lee, Jr., c.1845
Lee was descended from several colonial and Southern families, including the Parke Custises, Fitzhughs, Dandriges, Randolphs, Rolfes, and Gerards. Through her paternal grandmother, Eleanor Calvert, she descended from Lord Baltimore. Through her mother, Mary Lee Fitzhugh Custis, she was a descendant of William Fitzhugh.[2] Mary Anna Custis Lee was the only surviving child of George Washington Parke Custis, George Washington's step-grandson and adopted son and founder of Arlington House, and Mary Lee Fitzhugh Custis, daughter of William Fitzhugh[3] and Ann Bolling Randolph Fitzhugh. Her godmother, Mary Randolph, the first person recorded buried at Arlington, wrote an early book on housekeeping and cooking. Lee's birth year is usually given as 1808, but it appears in the Custis family Bible and in records kept by her mother as 1807, and is also referred to in a letter her mother wrote in the autumn of 1807. She was born at Annefield in Clarke County, Virginia when her mother's coach stopped there during a journey.[4] She was well educated, having learned both Latin and Greek.
She enjoyed discussing politics with her father, and later with her husband. She kept current with the new literature. After her father's death, she edited and published his writings as Recollections and Private Memoirs of Washington, by his Adopted Son George Washington Parke Custis, with a Memoir of this Author by his Daughter[5] in 1859.
Lee was diminutive and vivacious. She had known her third cousin, Robert E. Lee, from childhood; her mother and Robert's mother were second cousins, and Lee's father Henry had delivered the eulogy to a crowd of 4000 at George Washington's 1799 funeral.[6] Among Mary Anna's other suitors was Sam Houston.

November 5, 1863: Virginia State Senator john j. Wicker sent a telegram to President John F. Kennedy taking issue with President Kennedy’s 1962 Presidential Thanksgiving Proclamation, where full credit for Thanksgiving was given to the pilgrims in Massachusetts. Senator Wicker claimed he had already proven to the Governor of Massachusetts the validity of Virginia’s claim by simply displaying the records to him.
In response, Senator Wicker received an apologetic reply from famed Historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. writing on behalf of the president. Mr. Schlesinger attributed the “error to unconquerable New England bias on the part of the White House staff.
The White House amended its ways. President Kennedy’s next Thanksgiving Proclamation, on November 5, 1963, stated that “Over three centuries ago, our forefathers in Virginia and Massachusetts, far from home, in a lonely wilderness set aside a time of Thanksgiving. They gamve thanks for their safety, the health of their children, the fertility of their fields, for the love thich bound them together and for the faith which united them with their God”. Finally, Virginia was given its rightful recognition and place in history! To put this in historical perspective, Kennedy was assassinated, in Dallas, just 18 days later. [51]
