Henry III (October 1, 1207 – November 16, 1272) was the son and successor of John as King of England, reigning for 56 years from 1216 until his death. His contemporaries knew him as Henry of Winchester. He was the first child king in England since the reign of Æthelred the Unready. England prospered during his reign and his greatest monument is Westminster, which he made the seat of his government and where he expanded the abbey as a shrine to Edward the Confessor. He is the first of only five monarchs to reign in the Kingdom of England or its successor states for 50 years or more, the others being Edward III (1327–1377), George III (1760–1820), Victoria (1837–1901) and Elizabeth II (1952–present).[1]

It was not until September 24, that Edward left Acre. Arriving in Sicily, he was met with the news that his father had died on November 16.[56] Edward was deeply saddened by this news, but rather than hurrying home at once, he made a leisurely journey northwards. This was partly due to his health still being poor, but also due to a lack of urgency.[57] The political situation in England was stable after the mid-century upheavals, and Edward was proclaimed king at his father's death, rather than at his own coronation, as had until then been customary.[58] In Edward's absence, the country was governed by a royal council, led by Robert Burnell.[59] The new king embarked on an overland journey through Italy and France, where among other things he visited the pope in Rome and suppressed a rebellion in Gascony.[60] Only on August 2,1274 did he return to England, and was crowned on August 19.[61][4]
November 16, 1491 : On November 15, 1491, six weeks before the fall of Granada and two months and two months before Columbus was given his authority, an auto-de-fe was held outside Avila. The condemnation of Benito Garcia and his Jewish co-conspirators, Torquemada insisted, must be read from the pulpits of churches throughout Spain, accompanied by a warning to conversos not to associate with Jews, lest their minds be contaminated again by Jewish superstitions.[5]

November 16, 1758
Daniel McKinnon placed the following advertisement in the November 16 1758 Maryland Gazette:
"Whereas I've lately begun to keep School at London Town, I give Public Notice, That I will Teach Grammer at four Guineas per Annm and all Gentlemaen who may be pleased to favour me with their Custom, may depend upon being served with Condour and Fidelity by Their most Jumble Servant
Daniel M'Kinnon[8]
(Londontown is in All Hallows Parish, Anne Arundel County and is located on the south shore of South River about halfway between the Chesapeake Bay and the head of the river.) [9]
Educational facilities in earlier days were very meagre, hence, the Rev. Daniel McKinnon had to rely upon his own ingenuity to supply missing needs. Mrs George Rogers, of Morgantown, West Virgina, has a valued relic, much faded and worn, a text book, prepared by the Rev. Daniel McKinnon, containing arithmetic tables, grammar rules, hymns, prayers, and quotations, in his own writing, for use in teaching his children.
Torrence documents only three female children born to the Rev. Daniel. It is our unproved contention that there were also sons, probably at least Joseph, Daniel, and Benjamin.[10]

November 16, 1770; Directing the canoe at the mouth of the creek I set out with Capt. Crawford on foot to take a view of the land.[11][12]
November 16, 1776:
District of Columbia, Washington County, ss:
At an Orphans Court held in and for said county, on this twenty eighth day of October 1845 (October 28, 1845). On motion of Henry Northop, it was proven on open court to the satisfaction of the Court by the deposition of Captain Bedinger and a certificate from the Register of the Law Office at Richmond, Virginia line of the Army of the Revolution and was killed at the surrender of Fort Washington on the 16th day of Nov. 1776. (November 16, 1776) And it was further proven by the letter of Battle Harrison from Columbus, Ohio, and by the deposition of Crawford and Ann Springer that William Harrison who was killed in Crawford’s defeat was the eldest brother of Lt. Battle Harrison and that John Harrison now living is the eldest son of the said William Harrison, all of which is ordered to be certified.

Witness my hand and seal of office, this 29th day of October in the year 1845. (October 29, 1845) Ed. N. Roach, Register.[13]
November 16, 1776: The large vignette of Fort Knyphausen on this map would have had particular relevance to Gironcourt and his fellow-countrymen, as it marks a decisive British/Hessian victory at The Battle of Fort Washington. On November 16, 1776, Hessian Lieutenant General Wilhelm von Knyphausen (1716-1800) and a force of 3,000 Hessian troops and 5,000 Redcoats lay siege to Fort Washington at the northern end and highest point of Manhattan Island. The main attack on Lt. Col. Moses Rawlings' position by the Hessian troops, commanded by General Von Knyphausen, was met with fierce resistance, but ultimately the entire garrison of Fort Washington was forced to surrender. Nearly 3,000 Patriots were taken prisoner, and valuable ammunition and supplies were lost to the Hessians. The British renamed the garrison Fort Knyphausen in recognition of his role. [14]
November 16, 1776: Colonel Johann Gottlieb Rail was born in June, 1725, and
when quite a young man entered on the study of a military life. During the Seven Years' War he gained considerable experience in his profession under the Duke of Brunswick, and he served for glory as a \'olunteer under Orloff against the Turks. In 1764 he is recorded in the Hessian State and Court Calendar as lieutenant-colonel in the garrison regiment Stein. In the following year, and until the year 1771, he held the same position in the garrison regiment Heldring. In 1772 the name of the grenadier regiment Muller
was changed to the grenadier regiment Rail, and he was appointed its colonel and commandant. As such he landed in America, at New Utrecht, Long Island, August 25, 1776, with Lieutenant-General de Heister's first division of Hes-
sian troops. Two days afterward he took part in the battle of Long Island. He fought well at Fort Washington November 16, 1776, and was then placed in charge of the brigade which was afterward assigned to the post at Trenton. [15]
November 16, 1776
November 16, 1776
2,900 Americans stood against a massive force of more than 30 regiments, including the renowned Black Watch and Coldstream Guards, Welsh Fusileers, and Hessians, supported by Light Dragoons and Royal Artillery. Lt. Battaile Harrison was killed on the second day of the assault, November 16, 1776, when Fort Washington was overrun. [1]
Lt. Battaile Harrison, was the compilers 6th great granduncle.[16]
Battle Harrison (Lawrence, Andrew,2 Andrew1), was doubtless christened Battaile, the family name, but as it was pronounced Battle he probably adopted this manner of spelling. He is listed a Lieutenant Battle Harrison, of Rawling ‘s Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment killed at Fort Washington, November 16, 1776.f The Muster Roll of Captain Hugh Stephenson’s Company of Riflemen of 1775-76, included Battle Harrison as a private In the battle of Fort Washington, Lieutenent Battle Harrison was the only officer killed, November 16, 1776. Lieutenant Battle Harrison commanded William Brady‘s Company of Riflemen at the Battle of King’s Bridge, or Fort Washington, November 16, 1776. The Harrison’s were prominent landowners in Berkeley County, Virginia, before the Revolutionary War. [1][2][17]

Franz Gottlop’s regiment was at the Battle of Fort Washington
The following two sources list the engagements of the von Mirbach regiment. More analysis of the engagements is needed. JG.
November 16, 1776: REGIMENT VON MIRBACH
(MIR plus company number)
The Regiment V. Mirbach departed on March 1, 1776 from Melsungen. It embarked from Breznerlehe on May 12, 1776 and reached New York on August 14, 1776. The regiment was part of the Hessian First Division and took part in the following major engagements:
-- Long Island (NY, August 27, 1776)
-- Fort Washington (upper Manhattan, NY, November 16, 1776)
-- Brandywine (PA, September 11, 1777)
-- Redbank (Gloucester County, NJ, also known as Fort Mercer, October 22-November 21, 1777)
The regiment departed from New York on 21 November
1783 and arrived at Breznerlehe on April 20, 1784.
They returned to their quarters in Melsungen on May 30, 1784.
Musketeer Regiment von Mirbach, to 1780: Musketeer Regiment Jung von Lossburg, 1780 to war’s end (Hesse Cassel) Arrived at New York August 1776 Sent on the 1777 Philadelphia campaign fighting at Brandywine and Red Bank, N.J. Returned to New York, December, 1777, and stationed there until returned to Germany, 1783. Uniform: Red facings trimmed with plain white lace, white small clothes, red stocks; officers’ lace, silver.
CHIEF: Major General W. von Mirbach, to 1780
Major General W. von Lossburg, 1780 to war’s end
COMMANDER: Colonel J.A. von Loos, to 1777 Colonel von Block, 1777-1779
Colonel C.C. von Romrod, 1777 to war’s end
FIELD COMMANDER: Lieutenant Colonel von Schieck, to October, 1777
Lieutenant Colonel H. von Borck, October, 1777 to war’s end.[20]
November 16, 1776
Their first contact with the enemy occurred at Fort Washington on November 16 and resulted in seven killed and 13 wounded. Following the battle the regiment marched back to New York. After a short short stay in
Perth Amboy it was quartered in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. On January 9, 1777 it returned to Perth Amboy. It was then moved to a camp on Staten Island when it was ordered to cover the right flank against American units positioned near Morristown. The unit remained in camp until October 20, 1778 when it boarded ship and sailed for Pensacola, Florida. Five ships of the line, 12 frigates and about 110 transport ships set sail on 3 November (November 3), stopping once en route at Kingston, Jamaica. The armada arrived at Pensacola on January 17, 1779. The first Waldeckers to be taken prisoner fell into the hands of the Spaniards on Lake Pontchartrain because they were ignorant of the state of war between Spain and
England. When Baton-Rouge capitulated, the first 53 prisoriers were joined by nearly half of the 1400-man garrison. The rest of the Waldeckers were sent to New York after the fall of Pensacola, having pledged never to fight the Spaniards again (May 1781). The Waldeckers encamped during September 1781 in Newtown, Long Island, in October 1782 in New York and on November went into winter quarters in Flatbush. A transport of recruits stayed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. On January 21, 1783 the regiment received new flags. The Waldeckers remained in Flatbush until the summer of 1783 and the return voyage from New York began on 25 July 1783 (July 25). [21]

FROM THE DELAWARES
[Rev. David Zeisberger to General Hand. 3NN81-84—
Transcript.]
COOKING,[24] November 16, 1777.
Dr. SIR—As Capt. White Eyes is going to the fort, I will not omit to acquaint you how matters are here now with us. Since my last we have been quiet, & not any warriors have passed by here except a small party of Mohickons & now 8 days ago, 14 Wyandotts & two white men with them who came from Detroit; & as much as we know went to Weelunk [Wheeling], John Montour being in their company.
Some time ago, as we heard, 50 Frenchmen came over the Lake to Cuyahoga[25], & gave the Delawares and Muncys who live there the tomahawk, & desired them to go with them to Ligonier.[26] Capt. Pipe not being at home, they consented, & 40 men went with the French, but Pipe met them on the road, reproved the French for deceiving his people in his absence, & told them that they were only servants, & had no power to hand the tomahawk to them: Nobody could force him neither to take it—whereupon the greater part of the Indians turned back.
Capt. John Kilibuck & Pipe are gone to Detroit— upon what business Capt. White Eyes can tell you better. They did not desire me to write for them, so I suppose they did not approve of what you proposed to them.
The Shawanese—Cornstalk’s people, perhaps, will move from their place & come to Cuchachunk this winter. They lately sent messengers who consulted with the chiefs here about that matter; & as no messengers from hence are on their way thither, we shall soon hear what they are resolved to do.
Of the Mingoes we have heard nothing since the Half King [27]was here; & it seems as if they were tired of going to war, or rather frightened. We heard that after their last ret’1. they went over the Lake & asked the Wyandott Chief’s counsel & advice what they should do, because the Virginians would soon be upon them. The Wyandot Chief answered them, that they had begun the war, & had always encouraged others to go to war; they had now brought it to pass what they always had wished for; he therefore could give them no other advice than to be strong & fight as men.
Capt. White Eyes intends to stay at the fort two or three days, & wish you would let him return again as soon as possible, for none of the Counsellors are at home to do business, if any thing should happen; but if occasion should require to detain him longer, please to let the people here know of it that they may not be uneasy about him, for some apprehend because the Cornstalk is taken fast at the Kanhawa, White Eyes may be served so too: If he therefore stays out above the time he has appointed them, they will surely think so. The letter Gen’. Hand had sent to me last, the messenger lost. I suppose you will by this time have some news from before—if you can favor me with any you will much oblige Sir, Your Hble. Servt.
D. ZEISBERGER[28]
November 16, 1777: Now the warships that lay at Mud Island used their crews to clear from the river the chevaux-de-frise that had hindered the passage on the Delaware to Philadelphia. However, this could not be accomplished before the capture of Fort Red Bank.[29][30]

November 16, 1824: Andrew Jackson attended a ball at Lexington, Kentucky. [35]
1824
Theopolis McKinnon voted for Adams in 1824.[36]
1824
By 1824, the Democratic-Republican Party had become the only functioning national party. Its Presidential candidates had been chosen by an informal Congressional nominating caucus, but this had become unpopular. In 1824, most of the Democratic-Republicans in Congress boycotted the caucus. Those who attended backed Treasury Secretary William H. Crawford for President and Albert Gallatin for Vice President. A Pennsylvanian convention nominated Andrew Jackson (1st cousin 8 times removed) for President a month later, stating that the irregular caucus ignored the "voice of the people" and was a "vain hope that the American people might be thus deceived into a belief that he [Crawford] was the regular democratic candidate." Gallatin criticized Jackson as "an honest man and the idol of the worshippers of military glory, but from incapacity, military habits, and habitual disregard of laws and constitutional provisions, altogether unfit for the office."[17]
Statue of Jackson as General in front of Jackson County Counthouse in Kansas City, Missouri
Besides Jackson and Crawford, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams and House Speaker Henry Clay were also candidates. Jackson received the most popular votes (but not a majority, and four states had no popular ballot). The Electoral votes were split four ways, with Jackson having a plurality. Since no candidate received a majority, the election was decided by the House of Representatives, which chose Adams. Jackson denounced this result as a "corrupt bargain" because Clay gave his support to Adams. Later Adams appointed Clay as Secretary of State. Jackson's defeat burnished his political credentials; however, many voters believed the "man of the people" had been robbed by the "corrupt aristocrats of the East."[37]
In 1824 Joseph Vance (2ND cousin 7 times removed) Won his third term by an overwhelming vote of 4,342 to 16 for his opponent. From then on into the thirties he rarely had an opposing candidate in his district.
In his third term he was made chairman of the committee on military affairs and chairman of the board of visitors of the Military Academy at West Point. He also was instrumental in securing the passage of bills for granting subsidies to the Ohio and the Miami canals. Active in the antislavery movement in these years, Vance allied himself with John Quincy Adams in opposing the so called Gag resolution and in advocating the right of petition. He was defeated for reelection in 1834 in a close race with Samuel Mason.[38]
November 16, 1829
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.
George Tong and his wife, Isabel Crawford Tong, are buried in St. Paul cemetery south of Vanlye, Ohio. (See family records for dayte of birth and death).[39]

Some of the Six Nations seem to have removed thither at an early date, and probably occupied the village denominated on Evans’s and Hutchins’s maps as “Cuyahoga Town.” It would seem likewise to have been the site of an Ottawa village and a French trading house; and may have been the “Rivière Blanche,” so frequently mentioned in the reports of the French officials, 1742-53. See Charles A. Hanna, Wilderness Trail (New York, 1911), i, pp. 315-339. George Croghan had a trading house in the vicinity in 1747, which seems to have been abandoned by 1750 for one on the Muskingum. During the French and Indian War there was an entire readjustment of Indian villages, but the Cuyahoga town is still shown on later maps. It would seem, however, to have been the abode of Delawares rather than of Mingo, and the inference from this letter is that it was the headquarters of Captain Pipe before his removal in 1778 to the Sandusky region. The Indians reported in the autumn of 1777 that the British were building a storehouse at Cuyahoga to supply the neighboring Indians with goods; but during the later years of the Revolution the region seems to have virtually been deserted. in the late autumn of 1782, Maj. Isaac Craig was ordered out from Fort Pitt on a reconnoissance to the mouth of the Cuyahoga, to discover if the British were there building a post. He reported on his return that there was no sign of occupancy—Washington Irving Correspondence, pp. 137-139; Draper MSS., iNNiii, 4SIo. In 1786 the Moravian Indians lived for a short time at the old Ottawa village, on the east side of the stream, just north of Tinker’s Creek, in Independence township; but the following spring they removed to Sandusky Bay. The preceding year, by the Treaty of Fort Mcintosh, the Cuyahoga had been made the dividing line between white and Indian territory. With the exception of an occasional wandering trader, this locality appears to have been unvisited thereafter until the settlement (in 1796) of the Western Reserve—ED.
[26] Fort Ligonier was built during Forbes’s campaign in 1758, on the site of a well-known Indian town, probably of Shawnee origin, on Loyalhanna Creek, just west of Laurel Hill. While the advance of the army was encamped there, the enemy attacked them, after having inflicted (Sept. 14, 1758) a severe defeat upon Grant’s skirmish line that had penetrated to the neighborhood of Fort Duquesne. The attack upon Ligonier was repulsed, and was the last battle between French and British in this section. A garrison was maintained at this point until after Pontiac’s War, when Fort Ligonier was besieged, and relieved with much difficulty. About 1765 the permanent garrison was withdrawn, and in 1766 Capt. Harry Gordon reported that the fort was much shattered and rotting away. He also mentions some inhabitants clustered about the fort. More would come, he says, if right of possession was secured—Hanna, Wilderness Trail, ii, p. 40. In 1769 a land-office was opened at Ligonier and settlers flocked in rapidly. The land on which the fort stood was patented to Gen. Arthur St. Clair. The ravages of the Revolution did not reach the Ligonier Valley until the summer of 1777, when Col. Archibald Lochry set about establishing a stockade fort at Ligonier, probably on the site of the former British fort. This was officially known as Fort Preservation, but ordinarily received the well-known appellation of Fort Ligonier. From this date until the close of the Revolution, Ligonier Valley was constantly exposed to the Indian ravages. Nov. 7, 1777, it was reported that all of the settlers had fled to a distance forty-two miles from Ligonier—Frontier Forts, ii, p. 245. The party to whom allusion is made in this letter is doubtless the one that attacked Fort Wallace: see ante. Palmer’s Fort, in Ligonier Valley, was likewise attacked and eleven persons killed and scalped, among whom was Ensign Woods; Penna. Archives, v, p. 741.—ED.
[27] In his Narrative, pp. 160, 161, Heckewelder describes a visit of Half King (for whom see Rev. Upper Ohio, p. g,, note 24) to the Delaware towns in August, 1777. The Wyandot having sent to the Delawares the war-belt, which the latter had refused, next dispatched thither their head-chief and a deputation of 200 warriors. The Delawares, especially the Christian Moravian Indians, were much alarmed at their approach; but all ended well, for the Half King made a covenant with the Christian Indians and acknowledged their chiefs as “Fathers”. He likewise agreed to leave the Delawares in peace, and permit them to retain their much-prized neutrality. ED.

journalist calls "another small river, which they crossed about fifty perches

form a narrow defile about seventy perches long." Smith, London ed., 12-13;
