I Get Email!
In a message dated 12/21/2010 8:13:38 A.M. Central Standard Time,
Jeff:
I saw the letter from Tim Godlove in This Day....
A couple of years ago Tim wrote to me about the Godlove family. Before I could respond, my computer got an unset stomach and disposed of all my recent mail.
If you are still in contact with Tim, would you mind sending him my current e-mail address and telling him I'd be happy to hear from him again? I don't want to ask you for his address; since he initiated the first contact, it would be better to let him decide if he wants to try again.
Thanks!
Jim
Jim, I forwarded your email to Tim. Jeff

This Day…
December 27, 175 BCE (Tevet 3585): This day marked the completion of the Septuagint translation of the Bible into the Greek language. According to a letter from Aristeas to Philocrates, 72 sages, (six from each Israelite tribe) were brought to by Ptolemy II Alexandria to translate the Bible into Greek. Based on the legend, each sage was isolated and wrote a separate translation, but when all 72 were compared, they were all identical. The text of the Septuagint and the Tanach are not the same. Some viewed this translation as a positive event because it showed an interest of Greek intellectuals in Jewish thought and philosophy. Others contend that this translation was necessary because the Jews of Alexandria had such limited knowledge of Hebrew that they could no longer read the text in the original.[1]
December 27, 1351: Birthdate of King Juan I of Aragon. In 1392, Juan granted amnesty to those who had attacked the Jews of Majorca and the Christians who sheltered them in 1391. At least 300 Jews were murdered. Juan granted the amnesty “because they had done it for the welfare of king and state; and he further declared all debts of the Christians to the Jews to be null and void.”[2]
December 27, 1459: Birthdate of John I Albert the Polish monarch also known as King Jan I Olbracht. In 1495, he transferred the Jews Cracow to the nearby royal city of Kazimierz, which helped to create a major European center for Diaspora Jewry. “With time it turned into a virtually separate and self-governed 34-acre Jewish Town, a model of every East European shtetl, within the limits of the gentile city of Kazimierz. As it developed into a safe haven for European Jewry, its population increased reaching a total of 4,500 Jews by 1630.[3]
December 27, 1480: In Spain, a second royal decree was issued directing the Mayor and other officials of Seville to assist the inquisitors in their work since they had shown an inclination to protect the converted Jews with to whom they were drawn either because of reasons of kinships or friendship.[4]
December 27, 1503: Followers of Zechariah of Kiev were burned in Moscow, on charges of Judaizing. This term refers to helping non-Jews convert to Judaism.[5]
December 27, 1504: "Proselytizing" Jews in Moscow and Kiev were expelled after a few high officials converted to Judaism.[6]
December 27, 1657: Three years after the first Jews arrived in New Amsterdam and dealt with the bigotry of Peter Stuyvesant, a group Englishman living in the Dutch colony submitted a petition to the Governor-General requesting the lifting of the ban on Quaker worship. Known as the Flushing Remonstrance, they were greeted with even greater hostility by Stuyvesant than he had shown to the Jews.[7]

John Crawford, William Crawford’s first son, was born December 27, 1744.[9] John was born in the northern part of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, in the same year his father and mother were married, (January 5, 1744).[10]

" Let the Clan of gray Fingon, whose offspring has given Such heroes to earth and such martyrs to Heaven, Unite with the race of renowned Rorri More, To launch the long galley, and stretch to the oar."
Song–”Gathering of the Clans” (at Glenfinnan, A.D. 1745) [11]
1745
The MacKinnons supported in force Bonnie Prince Charlie during the 1745 rising and accompanied him throughout his campaigns. The bulk of the MacKinnon army was not at the Battle of Culloden and instead stationed near Inverness. They were among the last to remain at arms.[12] The MacKinnons have been throughout the majority of their history a small clan with a strong sense of honor, even to a fault as as evidenced with their conviction to the Jacobite cause in 1715 and 1745 after which they were dispossed of their lands. [13]
THE country (now parish) of Strath is known to have been the property of the MacKinnons as far back as five hundred and fifty years. when however, the clan took a prominent part in the turbulent Proceedings of 17I5 and 1745 (which will be elsewhere recorded in detail), the chief at the latter period was taken prisoner and confined in the Tower and Tilbury Fort for nearly twelve months, when, in consideration of his advancing years, he was set at liberty.[14]

December 27, 1774:Joseph Howard Sr. is reported to have had four children: Margaret born April 4, 1746, Joseph Jr. born March 13, 1749, Magery born March 17, 1752/3, and Benjamin born August 26, 1761.[17]
Joseph Howard Jr. is himself listed on Page 9 in the 1776 Census. Margery married Henry Hll on December 27, 1774 and they are listed on Page 4 of the 1776 Census. Joseph Howard Sr.s wife Margaret Williams died about 1762 shortly after the birth of their youngest son Benjamin. Based on the foregoing the 1776 Census should only show three individuals for Joseph Howard Sr. (Joseph Sr., Benjamin, and Margaret) instead of the five that are listed. No data can be found which explain these additional persons in the 1776 Census for Joseph Howard Sr. Could the additional male and female listings be Eleanor and her half-brother Daniel (who married in Anne Arundel County in 1777? [18]
December 27, 1776
Head Quarters, Newton, December 27, 1776.
I have the pleasure of Congratulating you upon the success of an enterprize which I had formed against a Detachment of the Enemy lying in Trenton, and which was executed yesterday Morning. The Evening of the 25th. I ordered the troops intended for this service to parade back of McKonkey’s Ferry, that they might begin to pass as soon as it grew dark, imagining we should be able to throw them all over, with the necessary Artillery, by 12 O’Clock, and that we might easily arrive at Trenton by five in the Morning, the distance being about nine miles. But the Quantity of Ice, made that Night, impeded the passage of the Boats so much, that it was three o’clock before the Artillery could all be got over, & near four, before the troops took up their line of march.
This made me despair of surprizing the Town, as I well knew we could not reach it before the day was fairly broke, but as I was certain there was no making a retreat without being discovered, and harassed on repassing the river, I determined to push on at all Events. I formed my detachments into two divisions one to March by the lower or river road, the other by the upper or Pennington Road. As the divisions had nearly the same distance to march, I ordered each of them, immediately upon forcing the out guards, to push directly into the Town, that they might charge the enemy before they had time to form. The upper division arrived at the enemy’s advanced post, exactly at eight oclock, and in three minutes after I found from the fire on the lower road that, that division had also got up. The Out guards made but small opposition tho’ for their numbers, they behaved very well, keeping up a constant retreating fire from behind houses. We presently saw their main body formed, but from their motions, they seemed undetermined how to act.
Being hard pressed by our troops, who had already got possession of part of their Artillery, they attempted to file off by a road on their right leading to Princeton, but perceiving their intention, I threw a body of troops in their way which immediately checked them. Finding from our disposition that they were surrounded, and that they must inevitably be cut to pieces if they made any further resistance, they agreed to lay down their arms. The number, that submitted in this manner, was 23 Officers and 886 Men. Col. Rall the commanding officer with seven others Were found wounded in the town. I dont exactly know how many they had killed, but I fancy not above twenty or thirty, as they never made any regular stand. Our loss is very trifling indeed, only two officers and one or two privates wounded.
I find, that the detachment of the enemy consisted of the three Hessian Regiments of Lanspatch, Kniphausen and Rohl amounting to about 1500 Men, and a troop of British light horse, but immediately upon the begining of the attack, all those who were not killed or taken, pushed directly down the Road towards Burdentown. These would likewise have fallen into our hands, could my plan have been compleatly carried into execution. Genl. Ewing was to have crossed before day at Trenton ferry, and taken possession of the bridge leading out of town but the quantity of Ice was so great, that tho he did every thing in his Power to effect it, he could not get over.
This difficulty also hindered General Cadwallader from crossing with the Pennsylvania militia, from Bristol, he got part of his foot over, but finding it impossible to embark his artillery, he was obliged to desist. I am fully confident, that could the troops under Generals Ewing and Cadwallader have passed the river, I should have been able, with their assistance, to have driven the enemy from all their posts below Trenton. But the number I had with me, being inferior to theirs below me, and a strong battalion of light infantry at Princeton above me I thought it most prudent to return the same evening with my prisoners and the artillery we had taken. We found no stores of any consequence in the Town. In justice to the officers and men, I must add, that their behaviour upon this occasion, reflects the highest honor upon them. The difficulty of passing the river in a very severe night, and their march thro’ a violent storm of snow and hail, did not in the least abate their ardour. But when they came to the charge, each seemed to vie with the other in pressing forward, and were I to give a preference to any particular corps, I should do great injustice to the others.
Colonel Baylor, my first Aid de Camp, will have the honor of delivering this to you, and from him you may be made acquainted with many other particulars; his spirited behaviour upon every occasion, requires me to recommend him to your particular notice. I have
the honor to be with great respect Sir your most Obedt. Servt.
G. WASHINGTON
P.S. Inclosed you have a particular list of the prisoners,
artillery and other stores.
The effect on both civilian and Army morale was electric. Men whose terms of enlistment were to have expired at the end of the year agreed to stay on for another six weeks to see the campaign through.[19]
December 27, 1776: Sources include a report from Washington to John Hancock, December 27, 1776:
“I ordered the troops intended for this service which were about 2400 to parade back of McConkey’s Ferry.” GW, 7:454. Henry Knox’s estimate was a little higher: “a part of the army consisting of about 2500 or three thousand pass’d the River on Christmas night with almost infinite difficulty, with eighteen field pieces.” The source is a letter from Henry Knox to Lucy Knox, December 28, 1776, in William S. Stryker, The Battles of Trenton and Princeton (Boston, 1898), 371. Cadwalader wrote to Washington, probably on December 27, “we had about 1800 rank and file including artillery.” Cadwalader had first written 1,700, then crossed it out and wrote 1,800. GW, 7:445. In another letter dated December 26 at nine o’clock he wrote that “General Putnam was to cross at Philada to day, if the weather permitted. with 1000 men; 300 went over yesterday & 500 Jersey militia are now there as Col. Griffin informs me to day.” The source is a letter from Cadwalader to Washington, 2[7?] Dec. 1776. The date of this letter is mutilated in manuscript; editors of the Washington Papers believe that it was sent on December 26; I think that it would have been December 27, 1776. GW, 7:442. [20]
December 27, 1777
[3NN8.J
A general return of troops stationed at Fort Pitt under the command of General Hand, Dec. 27, 1777:
One colonel; Captain Harrison and company, 46; Captain Sullivan and company, 54; Captain Heath and company, 67; Captain O’Hara’ and company, 40—total 208. Captain Sullivan appears to have been absent. Included in the number were two fifers and one drummer.[21]
December 27, 1779: St. John the Evangelist Day – George Washington Celebrated with American Union Military Lodge at Morristown, NJ[22]
1780
It would appear from a fragmentary record, that as early as 1780, Protestant Episcopal Church services were held in Dunbar Township and the neighborhood, by the Reverend Mr. Mitchel, and further, that he preached in the vicinity from 1780 to 1790, as an Episcopal Missionary. Who Mr. Mitchel was, or where he came from, or just where he preached, are matters upon which the recorder is silent. At some time previous to the Revolutionary War, the Reverend Daniel McKinnon, as Englishman and an Episcopalian., preached in the neighborhood of Connellsville. Upon the outbreak of hostilities he sailed for England, and was subsequently reported to have been lost at sea. One of his daughters married Thomas Rogers, one of Dunbar’s early settlers. The first meetings (Trinity Church) were held in a log building that stood upon the site now occupied by the Connellsville Public School. Services were held on that side of the river until 1832, when a house of worship was built in New Haven. That house is still used. Mrs. Daniel Rogers donated the ground; and beyond that, liberal aid towards the building enterprise was given by Daniel Rogers. A handsome memorial window in the church, commemorates the grateful spirit with which the kindly deeps of Mrs. Rogers are cherished. To the gifts mentioned, James McIlvaine, brother of Robert McIlvaine, added later, those of a church bell and parsonage.[23]
1780
…The currency of the land was almost worthless, five years afterit was issued a Continental dollar was worth about a penny. In Philadelphia, beef cost fifteen times what it had a year earlier. A horse sold for twenty thousand dollars. “A wagon load of money”, wrote George Washington “will scarcely purchase a wagon load of previsions.” [24]

December 27, 1792: St. John the Evangelist Day – George Washington Celebrated with Solomon's Lodge No. 1, Poughkeepsie, NY.[28]
December 27, 1817
Ancestor and future President, General Andrew Jackson, takes command of American troops during the First Seminole War.[29]
1817: The opening of the Erie Canal in 1817.[30]
1818: Francis Godlove signed consent for daughter’s marriage as “Francis Gotlob” [31]
1818: In the Recorder’s Office in Fairfield County, Ohio, in 1818, a lease under the name of Moses McCormick has been discovered. Book M, page 42. Moses McCormick is reputed to be a descendant of William and Effie (Crawford) McCormick. He is possibly a grandson to the couple mentioned above, since he is not mentioned in the above mentioned will.
Note: Since many of the soldiers and officers of the American Revolutionary War were unable to procure their bounty lands, for a number of reasons, an assignee or Power of Attorney was hired or appointed. This usually happened when the soildier or officder died or was killed. Then, the heirs would necessarily, be represented in this order. Perhaps several branches ofr one family were represented; each with a different and separate Power of Attorney. This creates complications in tracing family records, due to the fact, each separate assignee and Power of Attorney, must be traced as well as the family in question.[32]
1818
Death of George Rogers Clark in a small cabin near present day Louiville, KY, seemingly forgotten. [33]
1818: The Bank of Cyntiana was chartered, Wm. C. Moore, Pres.: Henry Brown, Cashier; Capital $25,000.00 its office was in a frame houise on the McMillen lot, where, later, the Faerber House was built. The bank closed in 1820, and finally paid off 80% in 1830. From 1830 umntil 1857 there were no banks in Cynthiana.[34]
December 27, 1842: Dr. Milton Reader Hunter, William Harrison Goodlove’s brother in law, born March 14, 1817, on his fathers farm, Catawba, Clark County, Ohio; died 1884 in Pleasant Tsp., Clark County Ohio. He was the son of Jonathan Hunter and Mary Shaw. He married Nancy Jane Goodlove, William Harrison Goodlove’s sister, December 27, 1842 in Clark Co. Ohio by Reverend Reuben Miller. She was born January 16, 1826, in Moorefield Twp. Clark Co. Ohio. She was the daughter of Conrad Goodlove and Catherine “Katie” McKinnon. He married (2) Sarah Skillman, November 6, 1860 in Pleasant Twp. Clark County, Ohio. She was the daughter of D. C. Skillman. [35]
December 27, 1884: Henny Gottlieb, Henny-Klara , nee Silber born December 27,1884 in Mainstockheim. Resided Braunshweig . Deportation: to Gelsenkirchen-Munster-Hannover, March 31,1942. Missing.[36]
December 27, 1906
In the issue of December 27, 1906 is stated that the newspaper will be published as “The Central City Herald”. The Herald has absorbed the business of the “Prairieburg News” and henceforth will be the sole representative of “Central City, Prairieburg, Alburnette and that portion of the county between the Wapsie and the Buffalo on the east, the county line on the north and the Cedar River on the West. Article in Book of photocopies in…year 1906.[37]
December 27, 2007: Former Pakistan prime minister Benedir Bhutto is waiving to the crowd when gunshots and an explosion killing Bhutto and at least 20 others. Bhutto had just returned to Pakistan after an eight year exile.[38] An amatuer video show that she appears to have been hit on the head from behind prior to the bomb going off. Scotland Yard denies this. No autopsy was ever done. [39]

December 26, 1776: Fifth Regiment General Stevens Brigade, William Crawford was promoted to lieutenant-colonel. He served until August 14, 1776. He was promoted to colonel at Trenton, NJ, December 26, 1776, of the Seventh Regiment which he headed 1776-1778. It was raised largely by William Crawford in the district of West Augusta. It was accepted by Congress February 29, 1776 and was taken on the Continental Establishment June 17, 1776. It seems to have been attached to General Woodford’s Brigade during its entire term of service. The Regiment was nearly cut to pieces in the defeat at Brandywine. Evidently it was largely recruited after that date, as the rearrangement in September 1776. The Seventh Regiment alone of the first nine regiments maintained its separate existence, not being combined with any other. It was renumbered the Fifth Regiment under the following commands. Colonel William Dangerfleld, February 19, 1776 - August 13, 1776, resigned. Colonel William Crawford, August 14, 1776 - March 4, 1777, resigned. Colonel Alexander McClenhan, October 7, 1776 - May 13, 1778, resigned. Thirteenth Regiment 1776-1778. This was the fourth of the six regiments of October 1776. It was raised in West Augusta District, largely through the efforts of Colonel William Crawford of the Seventh Regiment. It formed part of Muhlenberg’s Brigade in September 1778, it was renumbered the Ninth Regiment.[2]

Battle of Trenton - December 26, 1776[13]
December 26, 1776
Sketch of the engagement at Trenton, given on the 26th of December (December 26) 1776 betwixt the American troops under command of General Washington, and three Hessian regiments under command of Colonell Rall, in which the latter a part surrendered themselves prisoner of war. [By] Wiederhold Lieut: from the Hessian Rgmt of Knÿphauss. (Below)
PLAN of the affair which took place on the 26th of December, 1776, at Trenton, between a corps of six thousand rebels, commanded by General Washington, and a brigade of Hessians, commanded by Colonel Rall.
A. Trenton.
B. Picket of an officer and twenty-four men. (Wiederhold.)
C. Captain Aitenbocum’s company of the Lossberg regiment, which was quartered in the neighborhood, and which formed in front of the captain’s quarters, while the picket occupied the enemy.
D. Picket of one captain, one officer, and seventy-five men.
E. One officer and fifty Jagers, who immediately withdrew over the bridge. (Grothausen.)
F. Detachment of one officer and thirty men, which joined Donop’s corps.
G. Place where the regiments stopped after leaving the town, and where Colonel Rall attempted to make an attack on the town with his own regiment and that of Lossberg, but was violently driven back to
I. and taken prisoner with the regiments; meanwhile the Regiment von Knyphausen should have covered the flank.
K. Place where the Regiment von Knyphausen had likewise to surrender, after trying to reach the bridge. The cannon of the Lossberg regiment were with the Knyphausen regiment, and unfortunately stuck in the marsh; and while they were being extricated the moment for gaining the bridge was lost, and the bridge strongly occupied by the enemy.
L. Cannon of the Lossberg regiment.
M. Cannon of the Knyphausen regiment, which were not with the regiment during the affair.
N. Cannon of Rall’s regiment, dismounted in the beginning.
0. Attack of the enemy from the wood.
P. The enemy advance and surround the town.
Q. Two battalions of the enemy following the Knyphausen regiment.
R. Last manceuvre and attack upon the Knyphausen regiment.
S. Cannon of the rebels.
T. Place where General Washington posted himself and gave his orders.
Christmas Eve 1776 to January 3, 1777
Another verification which Butterfield made on page 104 of Chapter 5 is that “He (Crawford) was one of the heroic band that crossed the Delaware with Washington on Christmas Day (1776), participating in the Victory at Trenton on the next day, and at Princeton on the third of January, 1777.”[14]
December 26, 1776
December 26 1776 - In Jersey (New Jersey), part of the British and Hessian units have posts at Amboy (Perth?), Elizabethtown, Bergen, Powles Hook, Princeton, Bordentown, Pennington, Burlington, Maidenhead, and Trenton. The Hessian Battalions including the Von Minnigerode, Von Linsing Battalions and Hessian Jägers are at Bordentown. General Washington and his American troops cross the Delaware River, surpising and capturing three Hessian regiments at Trenton, New Jersey. Colonel Rall, commanding the three regiments is killed in the attack. In Cassel it was reported that of the 8,000 men, only 800 had escaped, and the whole of Germany was stirred up by the news.(False report, about 900 were captured at Trenton). [15]
Strength Estimates of American Forces
December 26, 1776: committed to the Delaware Crossing, 6,500 men
About 2,400 officers and men crossed the Delaware River at McConkey’s Ferry. Three other forces were ordered to cross the river: 8oo men under General James Ewing at the South Trenton Ferry, 1,8oo men under Colonel John Cadwalader at Bristol Ferry, and 1,ooo men under General Israel Putnam at Philadelphia. Putnam’s men were to join 500 militia who had been under Colonel Griffin in South Jersey. All three forces were unable to get across to NewJersey on Christmas night, except a few light infantry under Cadwalader and 300 men from Philadelphia who had crossed earlier. The total number of men committed to the operation was 6,500, of which only 2,400 were able to cross the river and engage at Trenton.[16]
“December 26, 1777- The (Hessian) regiment still spent this day aboard ship.”[17]
On December 26th, 1779: the fleet sailed right into the teeth of a storm which made the poor soldiers very wretched, and soon scattered the ships, which met a succession of storms, and finally reached a harbor only on the 28th of January, and the point fixed for disembarkation on the 3ist. There, at Tybee Island, lay the transport “Polly,” with two companies of the Grenadier battalion v. Linsingen, which had been safely landed for two weeks, and were comfortably encamped on the shore.[18]
On the morning of the 26th at eight o’clock the signal was given to weigh anchor. The fleet set sail under a favorable northwest wind and passed the Hook and the Middle Ground where the men-of-war were anchored, under whose escort the entire fleet under Admiral Arbuthnot’1 sailed to the east in the following formation.
Perseus frigate, 32 guns, Captain Elphinstone,’2 an excellent and celebrated naval officer who was very familiar with the southern coast of North America.

The entire fleet consisted of one hundred and thirty-three sail, among which were a number of one-masters which had on board the horses for the dragoons, the mounted of the Legion, and the artillery.
On the morning of the 27th we lost sight of the coast and sailed SSE. Toward noon the wind turned NE and became stronger hour by hour, so that a very severe storm arose which continued until the 30th. The wind turned SE and the fleet had to tack about.[19]
December 26, 1812
The British announce a naval blockade of Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, during the War of 1812.[20]
December 26-28, 1862: At the age of 15 years[21], Dr. William McKinnon Goodlove (1st cousin, 3 times removed) enlisted as a soldier in the 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The 57th was at Sherman’s Yazoo Expedition December 20, 1862, to January 3, 1863. Chickasaw Bayou December 26-28, 1862. [22]
Sunday Morning, December 26, 1915
Dr. William Goodlove, about seventy years of age, Civil war veteran and a man well known in Logan county, died Sunday morning at his home in Washington, D.C., after an illness of some months duration of kidney trouble. Dr. Goodlove was at one time located in Rushylvania and engaged in the practice of medicine. Although he had been away from this community for many years, he cherished a love for the people here that was often manifested. Not long ago he sent a collection of valuable books to the Bellefontaine Public Library and he also sent some rose bushes to be planted in the Library lawn.
For some years Dr. Goodlove has held a good position in the treasury department at Washington, D.C. and was so engaged when illness overtook him.
Among the staunch friends of Dr. Goodlove in this community are General Robert P. Kennedy and Walter S. Roebuck
Mrs. Goodlove, who survives, is a sister on Hon. Benj. Lefevre, who is prominent in this section of Ohio and who resides near Sidney.
The body of Dr. Goodlove will be brought to Sidney where funeral service will be held Tuesday. General Kennedy and Mr. Roebuck will attend the service. Interment in Port Jefferson cemetery.
Dr. Goodlove was the son of John Goodlove who died at Quincy in 1856. Dr. Goodlove’s mother later married D. H. McKinnon, then of Logan county, but they later moved to Clay county, Illinois. Dr. Goodlove was born October 15, 1846, near Springfield, O. At the age of fifteen he enlisted in the Civil war in the 57th O. V. I. and served until the close of the war in the Fifteen Army corps. Under General John A. Logan, “Sherman’s Army,” and was discharged at Little Rock, Ark. In the fall of 1865 entered Medical College at Cincinnati, where he took a progressive course and graduated the same year. He began practice in Montra, Shelby county, O. In 1874 he became a member of the State Medical Society at Toledo, and also of the National Medical Society at Detroit in the same year. On May 23, 1869, Dr Goodlove married Miss Mary L. Lefevre…(missing section).[23]

[16] Sources include a report from Washington to John Hancock, December 27, 1776:
“I ordered the troops intended for this service which were about 2400 to parade back of McConkey’s Ferry.” GW, 7:454. Henry Knox’s estimate was a little higher: “a part of the army consisting of about 2500 or three thousand pass’d the River on Christmas night with almost infinite difficulty, with eighteen field pieces.” The source is a letter from Henry Knox to Lucy Knox, 28 Dec. 1776, in William S. Stryker, The Battles of Trenton and Princeton (Boston, 1898), 371. Cadwalader wrote to Washington, probably on December 27, “we had about 1800 rank and file including artillery.” Cadwalader had first written 1,700, then crossed it out and wrote 1,800. GW, 7:445. In another letter dated December 26 at nine o’clock he wrote that “General Putnam was to cross at Philada to day, if the weather permitted. with 1000 men; 300 went over yesterday & 500 Jersey militia are now there as Col. Griffin informs me to day.” The source is a letter from Cadwalader to Washington, 2[7?] Dec. 1776. The date of this letter is mutilated in manuscript; editors of the Washington Papers believe that it was sent on December 26; I think that it would have been December 27, 1776. GW, 7:442.

Battle of Trenton - December 26, 1776[13]
December 26, 1776
Sketch of the engagement at Trenton, given on the 26th of December (December 26) 1776 betwixt the American troops under command of General Washington, and three Hessian regiments under command of Colonell Rall, in which the latter a part surrendered themselves prisoner of war. [By] Wiederhold Lieut: from the Hessian Rgmt of Knÿphauss. (Below)
PLAN of the affair which took place on the 26th of December, 1776, at Trenton, between a corps of six thousand rebels, commanded by General Washington, and a brigade of Hessians, commanded by Colonel Rall.
A. Trenton.
B. Picket of an officer and twenty-four men. (Wiederhold.)
C. Captain Aitenbocum’s company of the Lossberg regiment, which was quartered in the neighborhood, and which formed in front of the captain’s quarters, while the picket occupied the enemy.
D. Picket of one captain, one officer, and seventy-five men.
E. One officer and fifty Jagers, who immediately withdrew over the bridge. (Grothausen.)
F. Detachment of one officer and thirty men, which joined Donop’s corps.
G. Place where the regiments stopped after leaving the town, and where Colonel Rall attempted to make an attack on the town with his own regiment and that of Lossberg, but was violently driven back to
I. and taken prisoner with the regiments; meanwhile the Regiment von Knyphausen should have covered the flank.
K. Place where the Regiment von Knyphausen had likewise to surrender, after trying to reach the bridge. The cannon of the Lossberg regiment were with the Knyphausen regiment, and unfortunately stuck in the marsh; and while they were being extricated the moment for gaining the bridge was lost, and the bridge strongly occupied by the enemy.
L. Cannon of the Lossberg regiment.
M. Cannon of the Knyphausen regiment, which were not with the regiment during the affair.
N. Cannon of Rall’s regiment, dismounted in the beginning.
0. Attack of the enemy from the wood.
P. The enemy advance and surround the town.
Q. Two battalions of the enemy following the Knyphausen regiment.
R. Last manceuvre and attack upon the Knyphausen regiment.
S. Cannon of the rebels.
T. Place where General Washington posted himself and gave his orders.
Christmas Eve 1776 to January 3, 1777
Another verification which Butterfield made on page 104 of Chapter 5 is that “He (Crawford) was one of the heroic band that crossed the Delaware with Washington on Christmas Day (1776), participating in the Victory at Trenton on the next day, and at Princeton on the third of January, 1777.”[14]
December 26, 1776
December 26 1776 - In Jersey (New Jersey), part of the British and Hessian units have posts at Amboy (Perth?), Elizabethtown, Bergen, Powles Hook, Princeton, Bordentown, Pennington, Burlington, Maidenhead, and Trenton. The Hessian Battalions including the Von Minnigerode, Von Linsing Battalions and Hessian Jägers are at Bordentown. General Washington and his American troops cross the Delaware River, surpising and capturing three Hessian regiments at Trenton, New Jersey. Colonel Rall, commanding the three regiments is killed in the attack. In Cassel it was reported that of the 8,000 men, only 800 had escaped, and the whole of Germany was stirred up by the news.(False report, about 900 were captured at Trenton). [15]
Strength Estimates of American Forces
December 26, 1776: committed to the Delaware Crossing, 6,500 men
About 2,400 officers and men crossed the Delaware River at McConkey’s Ferry. Three other forces were ordered to cross the river: 8oo men under General James Ewing at the South Trenton Ferry, 1,8oo men under Colonel John Cadwalader at Bristol Ferry, and 1,ooo men under General Israel Putnam at Philadelphia. Putnam’s men were to join 500 militia who had been under Colonel Griffin in South Jersey. All three forces were unable to get across to NewJersey on Christmas night, except a few light infantry under Cadwalader and 300 men from Philadelphia who had crossed earlier. The total number of men committed to the operation was 6,500, of which only 2,400 were able to cross the river and engage at Trenton.[16]
“December 26, 1777- The (Hessian) regiment still spent this day aboard ship.”[17]
On December 26th, 1779: the fleet sailed right into the teeth of a storm which made the poor soldiers very wretched, and soon scattered the ships, which met a succession of storms, and finally reached a harbor only on the 28th of January, and the point fixed for disembarkation on the 3ist. There, at Tybee Island, lay the transport “Polly,” with two companies of the Grenadier battalion v. Linsingen, which had been safely landed for two weeks, and were comfortably encamped on the shore.[18]
On the morning of the 26th at eight o’clock the signal was given to weigh anchor. The fleet set sail under a favorable northwest wind and passed the Hook and the Middle Ground where the men-of-war were anchored, under whose escort the entire fleet under Admiral Arbuthnot’1 sailed to the east in the following formation.
Perseus frigate, 32 guns, Captain Elphinstone,’2 an excellent and celebrated naval officer who was very familiar with the southern coast of North America.

The entire fleet consisted of one hundred and thirty-three sail, among which were a number of one-masters which had on board the horses for the dragoons, the mounted of the Legion, and the artillery.
On the morning of the 27th we lost sight of the coast and sailed SSE. Toward noon the wind turned NE and became stronger hour by hour, so that a very severe storm arose which continued until the 30th. The wind turned SE and the fleet had to tack about.[19]
December 26, 1812
The British announce a naval blockade of Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, during the War of 1812.[20]
December 26-28, 1862: At the age of 15 years[21], Dr. William McKinnon Goodlove (1st cousin, 3 times removed) enlisted as a soldier in the 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The 57th was at Sherman’s Yazoo Expedition December 20, 1862, to January 3, 1863. Chickasaw Bayou December 26-28, 1862. [22]
Sunday Morning, December 26, 1915
Dr. William Goodlove, about seventy years of age, Civil war veteran and a man well known in Logan county, died Sunday morning at his home in Washington, D.C., after an illness of some months duration of kidney trouble. Dr. Goodlove was at one time located in Rushylvania and engaged in the practice of medicine. Although he had been away from this community for many years, he cherished a love for the people here that was often manifested. Not long ago he sent a collection of valuable books to the Bellefontaine Public Library and he also sent some rose bushes to be planted in the Library lawn.
For some years Dr. Goodlove has held a good position in the treasury department at Washington, D.C. and was so engaged when illness overtook him.
Among the staunch friends of Dr. Goodlove in this community are General Robert P. Kennedy and Walter S. Roebuck
Mrs. Goodlove, who survives, is a sister on Hon. Benj. Lefevre, who is prominent in this section of Ohio and who resides near Sidney.
The body of Dr. Goodlove will be brought to Sidney where funeral service will be held Tuesday. General Kennedy and Mr. Roebuck will attend the service. Interment in Port Jefferson cemetery.
Dr. Goodlove was the son of John Goodlove who died at Quincy in 1856. Dr. Goodlove’s mother later married D. H. McKinnon, then of Logan county, but they later moved to Clay county, Illinois. Dr. Goodlove was born October 15, 1846, near Springfield, O. At the age of fifteen he enlisted in the Civil war in the 57th O. V. I. and served until the close of the war in the Fifteen Army corps. Under General John A. Logan, “Sherman’s Army,” and was discharged at Little Rock, Ark. In the fall of 1865 entered Medical College at Cincinnati, where he took a progressive course and graduated the same year. He began practice in Montra, Shelby county, O. In 1874 he became a member of the State Medical Society at Toledo, and also of the National Medical Society at Detroit in the same year. On May 23, 1869, Dr Goodlove married Miss Mary L. Lefevre…(missing section).[23]

[16] Sources include a report from Washington to John Hancock, December 27, 1776:
“I ordered the troops intended for this service which were about 2400 to parade back of McConkey’s Ferry.” GW, 7:454. Henry Knox’s estimate was a little higher: “a part of the army consisting of about 2500 or three thousand pass’d the River on Christmas night with almost infinite difficulty, with eighteen field pieces.” The source is a letter from Henry Knox to Lucy Knox, 28 Dec. 1776, in William S. Stryker, The Battles of Trenton and Princeton (Boston, 1898), 371. Cadwalader wrote to Washington, probably on December 27, “we had about 1800 rank and file including artillery.” Cadwalader had first written 1,700, then crossed it out and wrote 1,800. GW, 7:445. In another letter dated December 26 at nine o’clock he wrote that “General Putnam was to cross at Philada to day, if the weather permitted. with 1000 men; 300 went over yesterday & 500 Jersey militia are now there as Col. Griffin informs me to day.” The source is a letter from Cadwalader to Washington, 2[7?] Dec. 1776. The date of this letter is mutilated in manuscript; editors of the Washington Papers believe that it was sent on December 26; I think that it would have been December 27, 1776. GW, 7:442.

Jeff:
You wrote in This Day...Dec. 20
"Gary Goodlove wants to compare the Conrad signatures on Moorefield deposition to later signatures to verify a match."
I wrote in e-mail Dec. 11:
"Just in case we eventually identify Conrad Godlove of Hardy Co. with Conrad Goodlove of Clark Co. it is worth noting that in his 1805 deposition in the Linedecker case Conrad Godlove signed with a mark." He could not write.
"In the 1824 signature almost every letter is separate...that suggests to me a signer who was new at writing, taking care to form each letter." Jim
Jim, Merry Christmas. I was thinking how interesting it would be to get a handwriting analysis done on the signatures to see if there is something we are missing. You touched on that perhaps they did not know how to write, early on, and perhaps we can learn more about them through their signatures.
I was just thinking that this family history research is a lonely business but it is nice to have others to write to that are interested in the same thing. It reminds me of the freemasons and how there is a connection between them. Recently I inquired about my grandfathers involvement with the freemasons and discovered that my great grandfather was not a mason. But I wonder if Conrad was. I know that McKinnons were because I saw a very old picture of one wearing a shrine Fez. It makes me wonder if I should be checking the Ohio Grand lodge for information on this. Which also makes me wonder if their was a lodge in Moorefield. Do you know anything about this? Jeff
This Day…
600 years before Christ…
The Persian God Mithra, 600 years before Christ, was born December 25, performed miracles, resurrected on the third day, known as the lamb, the way, the truth, the light, the savior, the Messiah.[1]
600 B.C. Bysantium was a Greek City-State founded around 600 B.C. named after its King Bysantus. They settled where a thin strip of water connected Asia to Europe and the Black Sea to eventually the Mediteranium. This strip of water is called the straight of Bosphorus.[2]
599 B.C.: Jeremiah may have spoken these prophecies against Ammon, Edom, Damascus, Kedar and Hazor after 599 B.C. Evidence for dating these prophecies is found in verse 49:28. Here Jeremiah refers to Nebuchadnezzar’s attack on Kedar and Hazor, which occurred in 599. B.C. Jeremiah 49:1-33.[3]
598 B.C. : Jehoiakim died in 598 B.C. 2 Kings 24:5-6.[4]
598 B.C.: Jehoiachin became king of Judah in 598 B.C. 2 kings 24:8-9.[5]
598 B.C.: The gold image that Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to worship was probably set up by Nebuchadnezzar around 598 B.C. Daniel 3:1-30.[6]
598 B.C.: In 598 B.C., Nebuchadnezzar attacked Jerusalem again and exiled many of its leaders. Jeremiah spoke the following prophecies on the eve of this invasion. Jeremiah 9:16-21.[7]
598 B.C.: About three months after Jehoiachin became king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzr captured Jerusalem and took him, his family and most of Jerusalem’s citizens captive to Babylon.[8]
598 B.C.: Obadiah prophesied against Edom because the Edomites watched happily as Jerusalem was attacked. The exact time of Obadiah’s prophecy is unknown, but one possible date is 598 B.C., the year Nebuchadnezzar attacked Jerusalem. Obadiah 1:1-21.[9]
598-586 B.C.: Jeremiah’s ministry continued into the reign of Zedekiah. The following prophecies fit into the period between the second and third deportations of Israelites to Babylon (598 and 586 B.C.). Jeremiah 14:1-15:9.[10]
597 BC: When Nebuchadnezzar deported the Judaeans in 597 and 586 BC, he allowed them to remain in a unified community in Babylon. Another group of Judaeans fled to Egypt, where they settled in the Nile delta. So from 597 onwards, there were three distinct groups of Hebrews: a group in Babylon and other parts of the Middle East, a group in Judaea, and another group in Egypt. Thus, 597 is considered the beginning date of the Jewish Diaspora.[11]
596-525: Amasis. Egypt became a sea power in the Eastern Mediterranean and entertained relations with the Greek islands and the Greek colonies in Cyrenaica. Defensive alliances with Croesus of Lydia and Polycrates of Samos against the Persians failed. Amases son Psamtik III was defeated by the Persian king Cambyses at Pelusium in 525.[12]
595 B.C.: Jeremiah dated these prophecies against Babylon to Zedekiah’s fourth year as King. (595 B.C.)Jeremiah 50:1-46.[13]
594 B.C.: Jeremiah preached the following sermons around the time that the false prophet Hananiah plotted against Jeremiah. This happened during Zedekiah’s reign in 594 B.C.[14]
December 25, 0337(14th of Tevet, 4098): Earliest possible date on which Christmas was reported to have been celebrated on December 25th.[15]
December 25, 800: Coronation of Charlemagne as Holy Roman Emperor, in Rome. Charlemagne supported most of the policies and edicts Pope Gregory the Great and Pope Stephen IV. However, he ignored their edicts concerning Jews. For the most part, Jews were allowed to participate in the economic and social life of the Empire within the limits of Medieval Society. The Jews of Narbonne (France) supported Charlemagne’s father Pepin in his war with the Moslems and Charlemagne remembered this. Unfortunately, Charlemagne’s policies toward the Jews died with him in 814.[16]
December 25, 1000: At the start of the 11th century, Hungary was established as a Christian kingdom by Stephen I of Hungary. In this case, Christian means Roman Catholic. Religious belief aside, Stephen used Catholicism as an instrument of national unification as he established his rule over pagans and those of his subjects who sought support from the Byzantine (Eastern Orthodox) Empire. Based on archeological evidence Jews had probably been living in what was now Hungary since the third century. The first written mention of Jews living in Hungary is found in a letter from the end of 10th century written by the famous Sephard, Hasdai ibn Shaprut. There were enough Jews living in Hungary by the end of the 11th century that at the council of Szabolcs, the Church prohibited marriages between Jews and Christians, work on Christian festivals, and the purchase of slaves. At the same time, the Hungarian King Kolman took measures to protect Hungarian Jews from Crusaders passing through the kingdom.[17]
December 25, 1066: Coronation of William the Conqueror as king of England. There is no record of a Jewish community in England before Norman conquests. A group of Jews arrived from Rouen (France) in London at the start of William’s reign. There is no record as to why William allowed this and his immediate successors followed policies that were inimical to Jewish interests.[18]
December 25, 1100: Baldwin of Boulogne is crowned as the first King of Jerusalem in the Church of the Nativity. This is one of those events loaded with subtle irony. This coronation was the culmination of the First Crusade, during which the Christian warriors drove the Jews from the City of David.[19]
December 25, 1312: Anti-Jewish riots broke out in different parts of Austria.[20]
December 25, 1369: The King of Sicily required Jews to wear a special badge.[21]
December 25, 1599: Portuguese settlers establish the village of Natal in Brazil. At this time, the only Jews living in Brazil were New Christians or Conversos. Dutch forces would occupy Natal from1633 to 1654, a period during which Jewish communities flourished under the religious toleration brought from Holland.[22]
December 25, 1740: George Washington’s correspondence hints that a fire struck his home in Fredricksburg, Virginia, December 25th, 1740, destroying much of the living quarters. He is only eight years old and life has already struck him a severe blow.[23]
December 25, 1772 David Lindsay/Lindsey signs Dec. 25, 1772 Petition to employ peacher David McClure along with two other Bedford County communities. David's Signature is different from that of the one found on the 1788 Ruddle's Mill petition. Stewarts Crossing. Bedford, PA.[24]
December 25, 1775: Gravestone Inscriptions as copied in old Crawford Cemetery by H, Margorie Crawford, 4 Sep 1949:
1. All on one big stone which has fallen over:
Jno. Crawford, died September 22, 1816. Aged 66 1/3 years.

December 25, (William Crawford) crossed the Delaware River with Washington.[25]
WILLIAM CRAWFORD, my 5th Great Grandfather
*Crossed the Delaware in retreat and again in victory on Christmas Day, 1776. [26]
Christmas Eve, 1776
We do not know how long he remained in England, nor how long the voyage lasted, but history tells us that on Christmas eve, 1776, the Hessians under Col. Rahl were keeping the vigil of the Nativity in their customary manner at Trenton, N.J., when General Washington with a handful of troops crossed the Delaware River amidst floating ice, surprised the hilarious (intoxicated) Hessians, killed a few and captured more than a thousand and fled back to Philadelphia. [27]
“December 25, 1777 - (Hessian Regiment) Toward evening we arrived at New York. Lieutenant Schotten, Ensign [Hieronymus] Berner, Ship Surgeon [Regimental Surgeon?] Gechter, Auditor [Johannes] Heinemann, and I at once debarked and took lodgings at Grimm’s Tavern.[28]
December 25, 1779:
(Hessian Regiment) On the 25th all the commanders of the troops and the ships’ captains received their instructions concerning the signals. The call was “59” and the reply “Lord Hawke,” which were assigned so that in case a ship should drift away from the fleet and encounter another ship at night they could recognize each other. In the event they met in the daytime, a certain flag was to be hoisted and answered by another designated one. Moreover, each commander of troops on a ship received a sealed letter which he might open if he had been driven off course and was twice twenty-four hours distant from the fleet, in which he finds the rendezvous of the fleet. Should his ship face the danger of falling into enemy hands, it is his responsibility to destroy these instructions, including the signals and the sealed letter.[29]
THOMAS JEFFERSON TO George Rogers CLARK, DECEMBER 25, 1780 [30]
[Letter Book of Thomas Jefferson, 1781, p. 10, Va. State Archives To COLO GEORGE ROGERS CLARKE,
RICHMOND December 25th. 1780
A powerful army forming by our enemies in the south renders it necessary for us to reserve as much of our militia as possible free to act in that quarter. at the same time we have reason to believe that a very extensive combination of british and indian savages is preparing to invest our western frontier to prevent the cruel murders and devastations which attend the latter species of war and at the same time to prevent its producing a powerful diversion of our force from the southern quarter in which they mean to make their principal effort and where alone success can be decisive of their ultimate object. it becomes necessary that we aim the first stroke in the western country and throw the enemy under the embarrassments of a defensive war rather than labour under them ourselves, we have therefore determined that an expedition shall be under taken under your command in a very early season of the approaching year into the hostile country beyond the Ohio, the principal object of which is to be the reduction of the British post at Detroit, and incidental to it the acquire possession of Lake Erie. the force destined for this enterprise is the Ilinois battalion. Colo. Crocket’s battalion, major Slaughter’s corps, with detachments of militia from the counties of Fayette, Lincoln militia, Jefferson, Ohio, Monongalia, Hampshire, Berkeley Frederic and Greenbrier making in the whole 2000 men. necessary garrisons only to be deducted our desire is that the execution of this may be so timed as that you may have the advantage of that interval of time, which intervenes between the breaking up of the ice in the wabache, and in the lake so as that you may avail yourself of the navigation of the former the moment it is open for the transportation of your Men and baggage and still find the latter blocked up and the vessels of the Enemy therein of course liable to be destroyed.

Proper instructions are prepared for such persons as each of the County Lieutenants of Frederick Berkley and Hampshire shall appoint to act in the joint offices of Commissary and Quarter Master to Pittsburg where their Offices determine and Money is sent to each for the purpose of subsistence and transportation.
The County Lieutenants of Monongalia and Ohio are ordered to rendezvous one fourth of their Militia at Pittsburg by the first day of March. All these Militia are ordered to go under proper Officers well armed with Arms suitable to western service and to serve during the continuance of the expedition as herein described. Colo. Crocket is ordered to be with his battalion at Pittsburg by the same day, and Money to enable him to proceed is sent to him.
An Agent is sent to Baltimore and Philadelphia to purchase four tons of Canon powder and to send it to Pittsburg by the first day of March.
Application is made to Gen’ Washington to lend us of the Continental Stores at Pittsburg, 4 Cannon, six pounders mounted on field Carriages with ball suitable, a mortar with Shells, 2 Howitz, grape shot and other necessary furnitures, 1000 Spades, 200 pick axes, 500 axes, a travelling Forge, Ship Carpenter’s tools, and Boats for transportation down the river should we fail in having a sufficient number in readiness and to send us skilful persons to manage the Mortars.
John Francis Moore who was sometime ago sent to purchase in the vicinities of Fort Pitt provisions for the Western Posts, is now ordered to extend his purchases to 200000 rations of Beef & Flour, and to provide 100 light Barges fit for transporting Men and Stores either down or up stream. These to be all in readiness by the 1st of March as we are not certain whether he may not be gone down the river, these powers were directed to himself, or in case of his absence to any Agent he should have appointed and if he appointed none, then to Mr William Harrison of Monongalia.
At Pittsburg we depend on orders to be given by you for the removal of Men and Stores to the Falls of Ohio by the 15 of March.
The County Lieutenants of Fayette, Lincoln and Jefferson are ordered to rendezvous at the Falls of Ohio by the 15 March 500 of their Militia, to be furnished between those Counties in proportion to their numbers, & to have ready at the same place and by the same day 50 Canoes each: Money is sent to pay for these. In those Counties you inform us you expect 100000 rations will be provided for you, you will of course order them to the falls of Ohio.
All the preceeding orders (except as to the numbers of Men from each County) are submitted to any alterations you may think necessary, and you are authorized to supply any deficiencies in them. The Staff Officers are submitted absolutely to you, and on removal of any of them by you or their death, resignation or declining to act you are to appoint others. The County Lieutenants are desired to keep up a constant correspondence with you, & the Staff Officers to inform you from time to time of their progress and to receive your orders. Thus you will perceive that we expect all to be in readiness at the Falls of Ohio by the 15 of March.
What number of Men and whether of Regulars or Militia you shall leave to garrison the Posts at the falls & Mouth of the Ohio, is left to yourself. As the latter however is exposed to attack from an Enemy against whom this expedition will be no diversion of force, and as it is distant from succour, it is recommended to you to leave it surely garrisoned, and to take measures for its being supported from the Spanish side of the Missisipi should it be necessary.
You will then with such part of your force as you shall not leave in garrison proceed down the Ohio and up the Wabache or along such other route as you shall think best against Detroit. By the construction of a fort or forts for retreat at such place or places as you shall think best, and by such other cautions as you find necessary, you will provide for the ultimate safety of your men in case of a repulse. Should you succeed in the reduction of fort Detroit, and a hopeful prospect open to you of acquiring possession of Lake Erie, or should such prospect open during the investiture of the fort you are to pursue it. As soon as you shall have accomplished both Objects of the fort and Lake, or shall have accomplished the one and find the other impracticable; or as soon • as you shall find that neither is practicable you are to consider your expedition as ended, and to withdraw your whole force if you attain neither Object, or, if you acquire one or both of them, to retain for a Garrison at Detroit so many of the Illinois & Crochets battalions as you may think necessary and to send the rest back accross the Ohio; in the event indeed of declining to attempt the reduction of Detroit YOU are at liberty to consider whether some cnterprize against the hostile Nations of Indians may not he undertaken with your force, and if you think it can, and that it will be expedient for the public good and eligible on view of all circumstances you will undertake it and detain your force ‘till you shall have finished it. In every event, the Militia on their return are to be marched back to their
• Counties under their own Officers and there to be discharged.
Should you succeed in the reduction of the Post, you are to
• promise protection to the Persons and property of the French and American Inhabitants, or of such at least as shall not on tender refuse to take the Oath of fidelity to this Commonwealth. You are to permit them to continue under the laws and form of Goverment under which they at present live, only substituting the authority of this Commonwealth in all instances in lieu of that of his Britannic Majesty, and exercising yourself under that authority till further order those powers which the British Commandant of the post, or his Principal in Canada hath used regularly to exercise: To the Indian Neighbors you will hold out either fear or friendship as their disposition. and your actual situation may render most expedient.
Finally, our distance from the scene of action, the impossibility of foreseeing the many circumstances which may render proper a change of plan or direliction of object, and above all our full confidence in your bravery, discretion, and abilities induce us to submit the whole of our instructions to your own Judgment, to be altered or abandoned whenever any event shall turn up which may appear to you to render such alteration or abandonment necessary; remembering that we confide to you the persons of our Troops and Citizens which we think it a duty to risque as long as no longer than t.he object and prospect of attaining it may seem worthy of risque. If that Post be reduced we shall be quiet in future on our frontiers, and thereby immense Treasures of blood and Money be saved, we shall be at leisure to know our whole force to the rescue of our eastern Country from subjugation, we shall divert through our own Country a branch of commerce which the European States have thought worthy of the most important struggles and sacrifices, and in the event of peace on terms which have been contemplated by some powers we shall form to the American union a barrier against the dangerous extension of the British Province of Canada and add to the Empire of liberty an extensive and fertile Country, thereby converting dangerous Enemies into valuable Friends.

December 25, 1817: THE ERECTION OF CLARK COUNTY
"The Senate received a message from the House of Representatives, by Mr. Hawkins:" Mr. Speaker, the House of Representatives have passed the bill entitled an act to erect the county of Clark." Thursday, December 25, 1817, the bill was signed by the Speakers of both branches of the Legislature, as being duly enrolled; Mr. Lucas from the joint committee of enrollment deposited it with the Secretary of State, and took his receipt therefore.
And so the long fight was ended. Ohio had gleaned another wisp for the sheaf on her escutcheon, and had added one more dart to its bundle of arrows. As a "Christmas gift" she had granted the right of local representation and self-government to the plucky pioneers of "Little Clark," and made them a community by themselves with a "local habitation and a name," the retrospect of which confirms even the brightest visions of those who struggled for this conclusion.
The creation of Clark County was the most bitterly contested of any of the early counties of Ohio. The nominal objection urged was that the territory proposed did not fill the constitutional requirements of 400 square miles. The real trouble seems to have been personal dislike and jealousy, between the leading citizens of the principal settlements in Green and the proposed county of Clark. It is unfortunate that the names of the principal actors in the controversy cannot be learned from the journals of the Legislature of that day, for, names excepted, the records furnish, to an active mind, a detailed history of the long struggle.
Perhaps more Governors of Ohio participated, in one way or another, in the passage of this bill than in that erecting any other county in the State; they were Thomas Kirker, Othniel Looker, Thomas Worthington, Jeremiah Morrow,. Duncan McArthur, Robert Lucas and Joseph Vance. The passage of the bill and its excellent management throughout the unequal contest was more directly attributable to Daniel McKinnon, Senator from Champaign County, and one of the first Associate Judges of Clark County; Joseph Tatman also did good work, as a Representative, and was made one of the first Associate Judges. At the time of its erection, the taxable acreage of the county was 229,624 acres, then valued at $528,644, or an average price of less than $2 per acre.
The whole number of voters was 4,648, and the total population amounted to 8065.
"When the news of the passage of the bill reached Springfield, the citizens assembled at the tavern kept by my father (Cooper Ludlow), on the northwest corner of Main and Factory streets, and celebrated the occasion by the burning of tar barrels in the street, and a free use of apple toddy and the other accompaniments belonging to a great jollification of that day."*
Of the authors of the petition, or those who signed it, or any of the details, there is no known evidence, except that of hearsay. At this late day it would be interesting to know who first suggested the name of Clark, who circulated the petition, and some of the incidents concerning its rise and progress at home, as well as in the Legislature.

In a message dated 12/20/2010 7:09:01 A.M. Central Standard Time,
Jeff:
You wrote in This Day...Dec. 20
"Gary Goodlove wants to compare the Conrad signatures on Moorefield deposition to later signatures to verify a match."
I wrote in e-mail Dec. 11:
"Just in case we eventually identify Conrad Godlove of Hardy Co. with Conrad Goodlove of Clark Co. it is worth noting that in his 1805 deposition in the Linedecker case Conrad Godlove signed with a mark." He could not write.
"In the 1824 signature almost every letter is separate...that suggests to me a signer who was new at writing, taking care to form each letter." Jim
Jim, Merry Christmas. I was thinking how interesting it would be to get a handwriting analysis done on the signatures to see if there is something we are missing. You touched on that perhaps they did not know how to write, early on, and perhaps we can learn more about them through their signatures.
I was just thinking that this family history research is a lonely business but it is nice to have others to write to that are interested in the same thing. It reminds me of the freemasons and how there is a connection between them. Recently I inquired about my grandfathers involvement with the freemasons and discovered that my great grandfather was not a mason. But I wonder if Conrad was. I know that McKinnons were because I saw a very old picture of one wearing a shrine Fez. It makes me wonder if I should be checking the Ohio Grand lodge for information on this. Which also makes me wonder if their was a lodge in Moorefield. Do you know anything about this? Jeff
This Day…
600 years before Christ…
The Persian God Mithra, 600 years before Christ, was born December 25, performed miracles, resurrected on the third day, known as the lamb, the way, the truth, the light, the savior, the Messiah.[1]
600 B.C. Bysantium was a Greek City-State founded around 600 B.C. named after its King Bysantus. They settled where a thin strip of water connected Asia to Europe and the Black Sea to eventually the Mediteranium. This strip of water is called the straight of Bosphorus.[2]
599 B.C.: Jeremiah may have spoken these prophecies against Ammon, Edom, Damascus, Kedar and Hazor after 599 B.C. Evidence for dating these prophecies is found in verse 49:28. Here Jeremiah refers to Nebuchadnezzar’s attack on Kedar and Hazor, which occurred in 599. B.C. Jeremiah 49:1-33.[3]
598 B.C. : Jehoiakim died in 598 B.C. 2 Kings 24:5-6.[4]
598 B.C.: Jehoiachin became king of Judah in 598 B.C. 2 kings 24:8-9.[5]
598 B.C.: The gold image that Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to worship was probably set up by Nebuchadnezzar around 598 B.C. Daniel 3:1-30.[6]
598 B.C.: In 598 B.C., Nebuchadnezzar attacked Jerusalem again and exiled many of its leaders. Jeremiah spoke the following prophecies on the eve of this invasion. Jeremiah 9:16-21.[7]
598 B.C.: About three months after Jehoiachin became king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzr captured Jerusalem and took him, his family and most of Jerusalem’s citizens captive to Babylon.[8]
598 B.C.: Obadiah prophesied against Edom because the Edomites watched happily as Jerusalem was attacked. The exact time of Obadiah’s prophecy is unknown, but one possible date is 598 B.C., the year Nebuchadnezzar attacked Jerusalem. Obadiah 1:1-21.[9]
598-586 B.C.: Jeremiah’s ministry continued into the reign of Zedekiah. The following prophecies fit into the period between the second and third deportations of Israelites to Babylon (598 and 586 B.C.). Jeremiah 14:1-15:9.[10]
597 BC: When Nebuchadnezzar deported the Judaeans in 597 and 586 BC, he allowed them to remain in a unified community in Babylon. Another group of Judaeans fled to Egypt, where they settled in the Nile delta. So from 597 onwards, there were three distinct groups of Hebrews: a group in Babylon and other parts of the Middle East, a group in Judaea, and another group in Egypt. Thus, 597 is considered the beginning date of the Jewish Diaspora.[11]
596-525: Amasis. Egypt became a sea power in the Eastern Mediterranean and entertained relations with the Greek islands and the Greek colonies in Cyrenaica. Defensive alliances with Croesus of Lydia and Polycrates of Samos against the Persians failed. Amases son Psamtik III was defeated by the Persian king Cambyses at Pelusium in 525.[12]
595 B.C.: Jeremiah dated these prophecies against Babylon to Zedekiah’s fourth year as King. (595 B.C.)Jeremiah 50:1-46.[13]
594 B.C.: Jeremiah preached the following sermons around the time that the false prophet Hananiah plotted against Jeremiah. This happened during Zedekiah’s reign in 594 B.C.[14]
December 25, 0337(14th of Tevet, 4098): Earliest possible date on which Christmas was reported to have been celebrated on December 25th.[15]
December 25, 800: Coronation of Charlemagne as Holy Roman Emperor, in Rome. Charlemagne supported most of the policies and edicts Pope Gregory the Great and Pope Stephen IV. However, he ignored their edicts concerning Jews. For the most part, Jews were allowed to participate in the economic and social life of the Empire within the limits of Medieval Society. The Jews of Narbonne (France) supported Charlemagne’s father Pepin in his war with the Moslems and Charlemagne remembered this. Unfortunately, Charlemagne’s policies toward the Jews died with him in 814.[16]
December 25, 1000: At the start of the 11th century, Hungary was established as a Christian kingdom by Stephen I of Hungary. In this case, Christian means Roman Catholic. Religious belief aside, Stephen used Catholicism as an instrument of national unification as he established his rule over pagans and those of his subjects who sought support from the Byzantine (Eastern Orthodox) Empire. Based on archeological evidence Jews had probably been living in what was now Hungary since the third century. The first written mention of Jews living in Hungary is found in a letter from the end of 10th century written by the famous Sephard, Hasdai ibn Shaprut. There were enough Jews living in Hungary by the end of the 11th century that at the council of Szabolcs, the Church prohibited marriages between Jews and Christians, work on Christian festivals, and the purchase of slaves. At the same time, the Hungarian King Kolman took measures to protect Hungarian Jews from Crusaders passing through the kingdom.[17]
December 25, 1066: Coronation of William the Conqueror as king of England. There is no record of a Jewish community in England before Norman conquests. A group of Jews arrived from Rouen (France) in London at the start of William’s reign. There is no record as to why William allowed this and his immediate successors followed policies that were inimical to Jewish interests.[18]
December 25, 1100: Baldwin of Boulogne is crowned as the first King of Jerusalem in the Church of the Nativity. This is one of those events loaded with subtle irony. This coronation was the culmination of the First Crusade, during which the Christian warriors drove the Jews from the City of David.[19]
December 25, 1312: Anti-Jewish riots broke out in different parts of Austria.[20]
December 25, 1369: The King of Sicily required Jews to wear a special badge.[21]
December 25, 1599: Portuguese settlers establish the village of Natal in Brazil. At this time, the only Jews living in Brazil were New Christians or Conversos. Dutch forces would occupy Natal from1633 to 1654, a period during which Jewish communities flourished under the religious toleration brought from Holland.[22]
December 25, 1740: George Washington’s correspondence hints that a fire struck his home in Fredricksburg, Virginia, December 25th, 1740, destroying much of the living quarters. He is only eight years old and life has already struck him a severe blow.[23]
December 25, 1772 David Lindsay/Lindsey signs Dec. 25, 1772 Petition to employ peacher David McClure along with two other Bedford County communities. David's Signature is different from that of the one found on the 1788 Ruddle's Mill petition. Stewarts Crossing. Bedford, PA.[24]
December 25, 1775: Gravestone Inscriptions as copied in old Crawford Cemetery by H, Margorie Crawford, 4 Sep 1949:
1. All on one big stone which has fallen over:
Jno. Crawford, died September 22, 1816. Aged 66 1/3 years.

December 25, (William Crawford) crossed the Delaware River with Washington.[25]
WILLIAM CRAWFORD, my 5th Great Grandfather
*Crossed the Delaware in retreat and again in victory on Christmas Day, 1776. [26]
Christmas Eve, 1776
We do not know how long he remained in England, nor how long the voyage lasted, but history tells us that on Christmas eve, 1776, the Hessians under Col. Rahl were keeping the vigil of the Nativity in their customary manner at Trenton, N.J., when General Washington with a handful of troops crossed the Delaware River amidst floating ice, surprised the hilarious (intoxicated) Hessians, killed a few and captured more than a thousand and fled back to Philadelphia. [27]
“December 25, 1777 - (Hessian Regiment) Toward evening we arrived at New York. Lieutenant Schotten, Ensign [Hieronymus] Berner, Ship Surgeon [Regimental Surgeon?] Gechter, Auditor [Johannes] Heinemann, and I at once debarked and took lodgings at Grimm’s Tavern.[28]
December 25, 1779:
(Hessian Regiment) On the 25th all the commanders of the troops and the ships’ captains received their instructions concerning the signals. The call was “59” and the reply “Lord Hawke,” which were assigned so that in case a ship should drift away from the fleet and encounter another ship at night they could recognize each other. In the event they met in the daytime, a certain flag was to be hoisted and answered by another designated one. Moreover, each commander of troops on a ship received a sealed letter which he might open if he had been driven off course and was twice twenty-four hours distant from the fleet, in which he finds the rendezvous of the fleet. Should his ship face the danger of falling into enemy hands, it is his responsibility to destroy these instructions, including the signals and the sealed letter.[29]
THOMAS JEFFERSON TO George Rogers CLARK, DECEMBER 25, 1780 [30]
[Letter Book of Thomas Jefferson, 1781, p. 10, Va. State Archives To COLO GEORGE ROGERS CLARKE,
RICHMOND December 25th. 1780
A powerful army forming by our enemies in the south renders it necessary for us to reserve as much of our militia as possible free to act in that quarter. at the same time we have reason to believe that a very extensive combination of british and indian savages is preparing to invest our western frontier to prevent the cruel murders and devastations which attend the latter species of war and at the same time to prevent its producing a powerful diversion of our force from the southern quarter in which they mean to make their principal effort and where alone success can be decisive of their ultimate object. it becomes necessary that we aim the first stroke in the western country and throw the enemy under the embarrassments of a defensive war rather than labour under them ourselves, we have therefore determined that an expedition shall be under taken under your command in a very early season of the approaching year into the hostile country beyond the Ohio, the principal object of which is to be the reduction of the British post at Detroit, and incidental to it the acquire possession of Lake Erie. the force destined for this enterprise is the Ilinois battalion. Colo. Crocket’s battalion, major Slaughter’s corps, with detachments of militia from the counties of Fayette, Lincoln militia, Jefferson, Ohio, Monongalia, Hampshire, Berkeley Frederic and Greenbrier making in the whole 2000 men. necessary garrisons only to be deducted our desire is that the execution of this may be so timed as that you may have the advantage of that interval of time, which intervenes between the breaking up of the ice in the wabache, and in the lake so as that you may avail yourself of the navigation of the former the moment it is open for the transportation of your Men and baggage and still find the latter blocked up and the vessels of the Enemy therein of course liable to be destroyed. That you may be fully possessed of the means which are to be in your hands for the purposes before mentioned, you are furnished with Copies of the orders given to the Lieutenants Commissaries & Quarter Masters in the Counties before enumerated; the substance of them is as follows Mr Rowland Madison is employed to carry 1000 lb of Rifle powder from New London & 1500 lbs. of lead from the lead Mines to Montgomery Court house, to purchase 300 pack horses with pack Saddles Halters and Bells ready and to lay in subsistence for them and for 137 Militia from Greenbriar County, who, by orders given to the Lieutenant of that County are to rendezvous, at Montgomery Court House by the 20th day of February there to take under their escort the ammunition and packhorses before mentioned and to be with them at the Falls of Ohio by the 15tb day of March Mr Madison is furnished with Money to purchase the horses and furniture and to lay in subsistende and forage from Montgomery Court House to the Falls of Ohio, where his duties cease.
Forty bell tents, 40 common tents, a Chest of Medicine, some Summer clothing will be sent from this place; 1000 lb of Rifle powder from Staunton 400 Camp kettles from Fredericksburg to the County Lieutenant of Frederick who is ordered to send them with 285 of his Militia to Pittsburg at which place they are to be the first day of March.
The County Lieutenants of Berkley and Hampshire are ordered to send the former 275 and the latter 255 of their respective Militias to be at Pittsburg by the first day of March.
Proper instructions are prepared for such persons as each of the County Lieutenants of Frederick Berkley and Hampshire shall appoint to act in the joint offices of Commissary and Quarter Master to Pittsburg where their Offices determine and Money is sent to each for the purpose of subsistence and transportation.
The County Lieutenants of Monongalia and Ohio are ordered to rendezvous one fourth of their Militia at Pittsburg by the first day of March. All these Militia are ordered to go under proper Officers well armed with Arms suitable to western service and to serve during the continuance of the expedition as herein described. Colo. Crocket is ordered to be with his battalion at Pittsburg by the same day, and Money to enable him to proceed is sent to him.
An Agent is sent to Baltimore and Philadelphia to purchase four tons of Canon powder and to send it to Pittsburg by the first day of March.
Application is made to Gen’ Washington to lend us of the Continental Stores at Pittsburg, 4 Cannon, six pounders mounted on field Carriages with ball suitable, a mortar with Shells, 2 Howitz, grape shot and other necessary furnitures, 1000 Spades, 200 pick axes, 500 axes, a travelling Forge, Ship Carpenter’s tools, and Boats for transportation down the river should we fail in having a sufficient number in readiness and to send us skilful persons to manage the Mortars.
John Francis Moore who was sometime ago sent to purchase in the vicinities of Fort Pitt provisions for the Western Posts, is now ordered to extend his purchases to 200000 rations of Beef & Flour, and to provide 100 light Barges fit for transporting Men and Stores either down or up stream. These to be all in readiness by the 1st of March as we are not certain whether he may not be gone down the river, these powers were directed to himself, or in case of his absence to any Agent he should have appointed and if he appointed none, then to Mr William Harrison of Monongalia.
At Pittsburg we depend on orders to be given by you for the removal of Men and Stores to the Falls of Ohio by the 15 of March.
The County Lieutenants of Fayette, Lincoln and Jefferson are ordered to rendezvous at the Falls of Ohio by the 15 March 500 of their Militia, to be furnished between those Counties in proportion to their numbers, & to have ready at the same place and by the same day 50 Canoes each: Money is sent to pay for these. In those Counties you inform us you expect 100000 rations will be provided for you, you will of course order them to the falls of Ohio.
All the preceeding orders (except as to the numbers of Men from each County) are submitted to any alterations you may think necessary, and you are authorized to supply any deficiencies in them. The Staff Officers are submitted absolutely to you, and on removal of any of them by you or their death, resignation or declining to act you are to appoint others. The County Lieutenants are desired to keep up a constant correspondence with you, & the Staff Officers to inform you from time to time of their progress and to receive your orders. Thus you will perceive that we expect all to be in readiness at the Falls of Ohio by the 15 of March.
What number of Men and whether of Regulars or Militia you shall leave to garrison the Posts at the falls & Mouth of the Ohio, is left to yourself. As the latter however is exposed to attack from an Enemy against whom this expedition will be no diversion of force, and as it is distant from succour, it is recommended to you to leave it surely garrisoned, and to take measures for its being supported from the Spanish side of the Missisipi should it be necessary.
You will then with such part of your force as you shall not leave in garrison proceed down the Ohio and up the Wabache or along such other route as you shall think best against Detroit. By the construction of a fort or forts for retreat at such place or places as you shall think best, and by such other cautions as you find necessary, you will provide for the ultimate safety of your men in case of a repulse. Should you succeed in the reduction of fort Detroit, and a hopeful prospect open to you of acquiring possession of Lake Erie, or should such prospect open during the investiture of the fort you are to pursue it. As soon as you shall have accomplished both Objects of the fort and Lake, or shall have accomplished the one and find the other impracticable; or as soon • as you shall find that neither is practicable you are to consider your expedition as ended, and to withdraw your whole force if you attain neither Object, or, if you acquire one or both of them, to retain for a Garrison at Detroit so many of the Illinois & Crochets battalions as you may think necessary and to send the rest back accross the Ohio; in the event indeed of declining to attempt the reduction of Detroit YOU are at liberty to consider whether some cnterprize against the hostile Nations of Indians may not he undertaken with your force, and if you think it can, and that it will be expedient for the public good and eligible on view of all circumstances you will undertake it and detain your force ‘till you shall have finished it. In every event, the Militia on their return are to be marched back to their
• Counties under their own Officers and there to be discharged.
Should you succeed in the reduction of the Post, you are to
• promise protection to the Persons and property of the French and American Inhabitants, or of such at least as shall not on tender refuse to take the Oath of fidelity to this Commonwealth. You are to permit them to continue under the laws and form of Goverment under which they at present live, only substituting the authority of this Commonwealth in all instances in lieu of that of his Britannic Majesty, and exercising yourself under that authority till further order those powers which the British Commandant of the post, or his Principal in Canada hath used regularly to exercise: To the Indian Neighbors you will hold out either fear or friendship as their disposition. and your actual situation may render most expedient.
Finally, our distance from the scene of action, the impossibility of foreseeing the many circumstances which may render proper a change of plan or direliction of object, and above all our full confidence in your bravery, discretion, and abilities induce us to submit the whole of our instructions to your own Judgment, to be altered or abandoned whenever any event shall turn up which may appear to you to render such alteration or abandonment necessary; remembering that we confide to you the persons of our Troops and Citizens which we think it a duty to risque as long as no longer than t.he object and prospect of attaining it may seem worthy of risque. If that Post be reduced we shall be quiet in future on our frontiers, and thereby immense Treasures of blood and Money be saved, we shall be at leisure to know our whole force to the rescue of our eastern Country from subjugation, we shall divert through our own Country a branch of commerce which the European States have thought worthy of the most important struggles and sacrifices, and in the event of peace on terms which have been contemplated by some powers we shall form to the American union a barrier against the dangerous extension of the British Province of Canada and add to the Empire of liberty an extensive and fertile Country, thereby converting dangerous Enemies into valuable Friends.

December 25, 1817: THE ERECTION OF CLARK COUNTY
"The Senate received a message from the House of Representatives, by Mr. Hawkins:" Mr. Speaker, the House of Representatives have passed the bill entitled an act to erect the county of Clark." Thursday, December 25, 1817, the bill was signed by the Speakers of both branches of the Legislature, as being duly enrolled; Mr. Lucas from the joint committee of enrollment deposited it with the Secretary of State, and took his receipt therefore.
And so the long fight was ended. Ohio had gleaned another wisp for the sheaf on her escutcheon, and had added one more dart to its bundle of arrows. As a "Christmas gift" she had granted the right of local representation and self-government to the plucky pioneers of "Little Clark," and made them a community by themselves with a "local habitation and a name," the retrospect of which confirms even the brightest visions of those who struggled for this conclusion.
The creation of Clark County was the most bitterly contested of any of the early counties of Ohio. The nominal objection urged was that the territory proposed did not fill the constitutional requirements of 400 square miles. The real trouble seems to have been personal dislike and jealousy, between the leading citizens of the principal settlements in Green and the proposed county of Clark. It is unfortunate that the names of the principal actors in the controversy cannot be learned from the journals of the Legislature of that day, for, names excepted, the records furnish, to an active mind, a detailed history of the long struggle.
Perhaps more Governors of Ohio participated, in one way or another, in the passage of this bill than in that erecting any other county in the State; they were Thomas Kirker, Othniel Looker, Thomas Worthington, Jeremiah Morrow,. Duncan McArthur, Robert Lucas and Joseph Vance. The passage of the bill and its excellent management throughout the unequal contest was more directly attributable to Daniel McKinnon, Senator from Champaign County, and one of the first Associate Judges of Clark County; Joseph Tatman also did good work, as a Representative, and was made one of the first Associate Judges. At the time of its erection, the taxable acreage of the county was 229,624 acres, then valued at $528,644, or an average price of less than $2 per acre.
The whole number of voters was 4,648, and the total population amounted to 8065.
"When the news of the passage of the bill reached Springfield, the citizens assembled at the tavern kept by my father (Cooper Ludlow), on the northwest corner of Main and Factory streets, and celebrated the occasion by the burning of tar barrels in the street, and a free use of apple toddy and the other accompaniments belonging to a great jollification of that day."*
Of the authors of the petition, or those who signed it, or any of the details, there is no known evidence, except that of hearsay. At this late day it would be interesting to know who first suggested the name of Clark, who circulated the petition, and some of the incidents concerning its rise and progress at home, as well as in the Legislature.

DNA Shows Newly Discovered Human Relative Roamed Widely in Asia
Dec 23, 2010 – 8:59 AM
Malcolm Ritter
AP
NEW YORK -- Scientists have recovered the DNA code of a human relative recently discovered in Siberia, and it delivered a surprise: This relative roamed far from the cave that holds its only known remains.
By comparing the DNA to that of modern populations, scientists found evidence that these "Denisovans" from more than 30,000 years ago ranged all across Asia. They apparently interbred with the ancestors of people now living in Melanesia, a group of islands northeast of Australia.
There's no sign that Denisovans mingled with the ancestors of people now living in Eurasia, which made the connection between Siberia and distant Melanesia quite a shock.
David Reich, Nature/AP
This undated photo provided by the journal Nature shows two views of an upper molar tooth found in a Siberian cave from a recently discovered relative of humans that lived more than 30,000 years ago. DNA revealed that this creature is more closely related to Neanderthals than to modern humans. That indicates that both this creature and Neanderthals sprang from a common ancestor on a different branch of the evolutionary family tree than the one leading to modern humans. (David Reich, Nature/AP)
It's the second report in recent months of using a new tool, genomes of ancient human relatives, to illuminate the evolutionary history of humankind. In May, some of the same scientists reported using the Neanderthal genome to show that Neanderthals interbred with ancestors of today's non-African populations. That might have happened in the Middle East after the ancestors left Africa but before they entered Eurasia, researchers said.
As for the Denisovans, the new work is probably just the start of what can be learned from their genome, said one expert familiar with the research. Eventually, it should provide clues to traits like eye and skin color, said Todd Disotell of New York University.
"We're going to be able to piece these people together in the next few years from this genome," he said.
The existence of a new human relative was first revealed just nine months ago from a sampling of DNA recovered from a finger bone discovered in the Denisova Cave in southern Siberia. Researchers proposed the informal name Denisovans for them in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature, where they report the new results.
There's not enough evidence to determine whether Denisovans are a distinct species, the researchers said.
The genome, recovered from the finger bone, showed that Denisovans are more closely related to Neanderthals than to modern humans. That indicates that both they and Neanderthals sprang from a common ancestor on a different branch of the evolutionary family tree than the one leading to modern humans.
Scientists have no idea what Denisovans looked like, said David Reich, a Harvard University researcher and an author of the new paper.
Apart from the genome, the researchers reported finding a Denisovan upper molar in the cave. Its large size and features differ from teeth of Neanderthals or early modern humans, both of which lived in the same area at about the same time as the Denisovans.
Neither the finger bone nor the tooth can be dated directly, but tests of animal bones found nearby show the Denisovan remains are at least 30,000 years old, and maybe more than 50,000 years old, Reich said.
Scientists found evidence that in the genomes of people now living in Melanesia, about 5 percent of their DNA can be traced to Denisovans, a sign of ancient interbreeding that took researchers by surprise.
Did Abe Lincoln's Assassin Escape? DNA May Solve Mystery
Dec 23, 2010 – 2:01 PM
David Lohr Contributor
Descendants of John Wilkes Booth have agreed to exhume his brother's body for DNA testing in an attempt to determine whether the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln escaped capture and eluded justice, as the family has been told.
"I'm absolutely in favor of exhuming Edwin," Joanne Hulme, a Booth family historian, told The Philadelphia Inquirer. "Let's have the truth and put this thing to rest."
Library of Congress
The descendants of John Wilkes Booth hope to answer the question of whether he escaped after assassinating President Abraham Lincoln in 1865.
Booth, an actor from Maryland, shot and killed Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., on April 14, 1865. Most believe he was tracked down 10 days later and shot inside a tobacco barn in rural Virginia by Union soldiers and buried in an unmarked grave in Baltimore's Green Mount Cemetery.
That, however, is not the story that has been passed down in the Booth family. According to family members, Booth escaped capture and lived for 38 more years.
That story was also made popular in the 1907 book "The Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth," written by Finis L. Bates. In the book, Bates suggested a Booth look-alike was mistakenly killed at the farm. Booth then assumed the name John St. Helen and committed suicide in 1903 in Enid, Okla.
In an effort to end the speculation, Hulme and her family want to compare DNA from Booth's brother, Edwin, to that of a bone specimen at the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Washington. The bone is from the man who was gunned down inside the barn.
Before an exhumation of Edwin Booth in a cemetery in Cambridge, Mass., the family wants to get permission from the museum to obtain the DNA sample from the bone specimen. A panel of judges will make the final decision.
The museum's public relations department did not immediately returned a message today to AOL News.
Historian Nate Orlowek is also eager to get to the bottom of the story. He's spent decades investigating the case.
"If the man who killed our greatest president got away, and a giant hoax was perpetrated on the American people, then we should know about it," he told the Inquirer. [1]
This Day…
December 24, 1166: Birthdate of King John of England. King John is known to history as the brother of Richard the Lionhearted whom he followed to the throne in 1199. He is also the monarch who was so rapacious that the English nobles banned together and forced him to sign the Magna Charta, which placed limits on the power of the King. John’s record in dealing with the Jews was uneven, to say the least. Since Jews fell outside of the norms of the feudal world of the Middle Ages, special provisions were needed to deal with them. Two years after coming to power, King John issued a special charter guaranteeing the rights of the Jews while he reigned as long as they conformed to all laws and decrees i.e. provided a steady flow of funds to the royal treasury. In essence, the Jews were “the king’s possession” to do with as he pleased. So this same King John, when he needed more money, imprisoned several wealthy Jews in a castle at Bristol in 1210 and held them until they paid a ransom of 66,000 marks. John’s son followed his father’s pattern of behavior in dealing with the Jews. His grandson would expel the Jews from England after squeezing them of all their financial value.[2] John of Lackland is the compilers 24th great grandfather.
December 24, 1294: Pope Boniface VIII is elected Pope. In 1298, four years after Boniface came to power, 628 Jews are killed after a priest Nuremberg, Germany, spreads a story that Jews drove nails through communion hosts, "thereby crucifying Christ again". There are those who hold Boniface accountable for this murderous act, if for no other reason that it took place during his “undistinguished” papal rule.[3]
December 24, 1491: Birthdate Ignatius of Loyola, Spanish founder of the Jesuit order. Loyola was born one year before the Jewish expulsion from Spain. He lived during a period dominated by the Inquistion and Church sanctioned anti-Semitism. “It is accordingly much to their credit that the Jesuits were firmly opposed (particularly under Ignatius and his first three successors as Superior General of the Jesuits) to ecclesiastical anti-Semitism and to the Inquisition's persecution of suspected Jews. When Ignatius was accused of having partly Jewish ancestry, he replied, ‘If only I did! What could be more glorious than to be of the same blood as the Apostles, the Blessed Virgin, and our Lord Himself?’”[4]

FORT PITT, December 24th. 1777
SIR—When I wrote you last, I acquainted you of my intention of visiting Fort Randolph. You will find by the enclosed letters from Capt. Arbuckle that before my arrival there he had confined some Shawanese Indians, & his reasons for so doing. On the IOth. ulto., the day I left this post to go to Kanawha, three men, one of them an ensign of the Bottetourt Militia. straggled over the Kanawha to hunt. The Ensign was killed & scalped within a small distance of the fort, which exasperated the militia to such a degree that a party of them rushed into the fort, & put the Cornstalk, his son, the Red Hawk’s son, & another Indian to death, notwithstanding Capt. Arbuckle’s endeavors to prevent it. From this event we have little reason to expect a reconciliation with the Shawanese, except fear operates on them; for if we had any friends among them, those unfortunate wretches were so. Though from information brought me from the Seneca country, which Lt. Col. Gibson has already communicated to you, we have little reason to expect that will be the case. * * *
Col. Wm. Crawford has arrived.[5] I hope his activity and influence will have a very good effect. If Major John Stephenson[6] could have any appointment worth his acceptance, I think he also would be a valuable acquisition. I wish much to be permitted to lay my proceedings here before Congress. I assure you that I have fully exerted my poor abilities to accomplish the end fOr whch I was ordered here, yet am sorry to say that little advantage has arisen from it; & unless some other measures can be fallen on, I have little reason to promise myself better success for the time to come.
I think that as it is now winter, & Col. Crawford present, my absence for some time would not be attended with inconvenience. If Congress have no particular objection, would esteem it as a most singular indulgence to be recalled & suffered to join the grand army, with them to share the honors & fatigues of the field. Indeed, unless our affairs will admit of the assistance of a regular force, I had rather resign my office than continue here in command of militia.
Capt. Willing[7] had arrived here a few days before my return from Fort Randolph. I have in the best manner I could supplied him with such things as he wanted, but am afraid the river will be shut up before he gets away. * * *

1811: Conrad could have told his grandchildren how William Henry Harrison with 3000 men had defeated Tecumseh in 1811. [20] Many Indian councils were called in Champagne County and Tecumseh was located was located for a time near Deer Creek.[21]
December 24, 1814
The Treaty of Ghent, signed and sealed on December 24, 1814 a full two weeks before the Battle of New Orleans officially ended the War of 1812. [22] In the Age of Sail, the treaty wasn’t fully ratified until February 17, 1815.[23]
At the age of fourteen Abraham Baer Gottlober married the daughter of a wealthy "Hasid" in Chernigov, and settled there. When his inclination for secular knowledge became known, his father-in-law, on the advice of a ?asidic rabbi, caused the young couple to be divorced, and Gottlober, who had joined the Hasidim after his marriage, now became their bitter enemy.[24]
December 24, 1851: Two thirds of the books at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., are destroyed in a fire.[25]
1852: Theopolis McKinnon voted for Scott for president.[26]
December 24, 1852: The deaths of people badly cared for, undernourished, and exposed to the elements during the rigorous winters of 1940, 1941 and 1942, were in fact deliberate assassinations. The Vichy government, “anti-France”, in the words of Dr. J. Weil, whose work on concentration camps is considered authoritative, has shown itself guilty of these crimes. What other name can be given, for example, to the mortality in the camp of Gurs? There were 15 deaths in October, 1940; 180 in November; 270 in December; 140 in January, 1941…
At Gurs on November 26, 1940, Julius Gottlieb, born December 24, 1852 from Ebernburg, died.
Also at Gurs on March 23, 1941 Johanna Gottlieb born May 24, 1859, from Ebernburg, died.[27]
December 24, 1865: The most adverse criticism of these "Galvanized Yankees" came from a high ranking Confederate source, Lt. Gen. W. J. Hardee. On December 24, 1864 he informed Gen. S. Cooper, Insp. General of the Confederacy, that at Savannah such troops had proved "to be utterly untrustworthy. The men deserted in large numbers and finally mutinied and were narrowly prevented from going over in a body to the enemy. The ring leaders were shot, and the remainder sent back to prison. These men were selected with great care, and were principally foreigners, and this is, therefore, a fair test of of such troops. I recommend that all authority to organize similar commands be revoked." [28]
James Oxley, (Iowa Infantry?) a POW at Salisbury, told of a group of about a hundred prisoners who had gone with the recruiter who had promised them plenty to eat. They were all eventually returned to the prison according to Confederate authorities, because they had failed a physical exam. The real reason may have been that they were about to disavow their oath to the Confederacy and defect to the Union lines at the first opportunity. Upon their return to Salisbury they were greeted by much hostility from their fellow prisoners and , according to Oxley, were all dead within a short time.( Mr and Mrs Donald W. David of Marion, Iowa, provided the excerpts from James Oxley's letters. This is one of Oxley's comments. Some of these men may have been killed outright, but Oxley implied the denial of food by their fellow prisoners was the cause of their death. These POWs were not wearing uniforms when they returned. They presented such a spectacle that Oxley exclaimed that they would "make a dead man laugh." [29]
December 24, 1865: The Klu Klux Klan is founded in Pulaski, Tennessee.[30]
December 24, 1894: Alois Brunner, one of Eichmann’s most effective lieutenants. In June, 1943, he took over the administration of Drancy. Convoy 55 was the first he sent to Auschwitz. He organized a special commando that arrested Jews all over France, but especially in Nice where Jews had been protected by the Italians until September, 1943. Brunner was located in Damscus, Syria and his presence was protested there in June, 1982.[31]
On board Convoy 55 was Albert Gottlieb, born December 24, 1894 from Fridlda, (Stateless), and Aurelie Gottlieb, born June 11, 1892 in Lwow. (Polish for Lviv, a major city in western Ukraine. [32]

I Get Email!
Jeff,
Alas, the descendents I've contacted have not gotten back to me.
I guess the ball is in their court.
I know if it were MY ancestor I would want the
skull reburied and not sitting in a cardboard box
in a Library.
The Count's wishes were to be buried with his men.
I think the skull should be returned to Red Bank
and some sort of monument/marker put up.
But it's not up to me.
Unfortunately, his men have been moved a few times and now reside in unmarked
graves here:

Bob
Bob,
From my experience in DNA research, it required a lot of patience in getting DNA tests. There is a certain amount of apprehension with anything like this. My father took a very direct approach and was successful, but there needs to be a reason for someone to want to do it. Frankly, I don't think it is necessary anyway. If the person or organization that has the skull believes it is Von Donop's then it would be the right of that individual to be reburied as it was stolen in the first place. It may not be anything the family needs to get involved in anyway. The press coverage alone would be a bit of a sensation as the whole Hessian impression is somewhat mythical in its proportion. I know that grave robbing is a crime in this country and this is an unacceptable behavior in our culture. I believe there is a legal precedence that would apply here. This would be I believe a sensible approach that would, with gathering the right people together would come to a sensible conclusion. I would and I believe others would support such an effort. Jeff
Graveyard View of The Old Deptford Strangers Burial Ground - Photograph by J. Brown, September 2005
According to the current caretaker of the Ann Whitall House in National Park, after the "Battle of Red Bank," the Hessian soldiers involved in that battle were buried in the trenches at the site of the battle and they were later moved to the Strangers Burial Ground at Woodbury, New Jersey. She stated that, even later (when their remains were "just bones,") they were removed to this Strangers Burial Ground in Deptford. The site at both Woodbury, and later Deptford, was called "Strangers Burial Ground," because those buried were not members of any of the local religious communities. [Read about Count Donop's grave].
In Glendora, New Jersey, in the Ashbrook Burial Ground are additional Hessian soldiers, who died during their retreat from the "Battle of Red Bank," however they are not the remains of the original soldiers who fell on that battlefield.

October 22, 1777, the battle of Red Bank was fought, and many of the wounded Hessians were brought to Woodbury, and cared for in the old brick school-house on Delaware Street, where many of them died, and were buried in the northerly part of the grounds known as the "Strangers' Burying-Ground."

"The Strangers Burying Ground, which was for more than a century one of the landmarks of Woodbury, occupied about an acre of ground on the south side of Cooper Street west of Broad. In this cemetery many of the Hessians killed at Red Bank were buried. Buttons of uniforms and bayonets were found when the cemetery was vacated. It was condemned about two years ago [about 1915], and a new street known as Lupton Avenue marks the site. The bodies and remaining stones were removed to the Paupers' Burying-Ground, which is located on the old road, now little used, leading from a point near Almonesson to North Woodbury.

[5] 60 For a biographical sketch of Col. William Crawford see Dunmore’.c War, p. 103, note 48; his early Revolutionary service is sketched in Rev. Upper Ohio, p. 250, note 94. After joining the Continental army in August, 1777, Crawford served with efficiency, commanding a detachment of scouts and skirmishing with the British under Howe. November ~q Congress resolved “that General Washington be requested to send Col. William Crawford to Pittsburg to take command under Brigadier General Hand of the Continental troops and militia of the Western department.” In this way Crawford lost his place and rank in the Continental line, and it was never restored to him. He seems to have spent part of the winter of 1777-78 at his own home on the Youghiogheny. In March and April he was present at Yohogania County court, acting as magistrate and commissioner to lay out prison bounds. His subsequent career will be outlined in later documents in this volume.—ED.
[6] 61 Maj. John Stephenson was a half-brother of Col. William Crawford, and was born in Virginia about 1737. He was out in the French and Indian War, and about 1768 removed to the West, settling on Jacob’s Creek, in Fayette County. There in 1770 he was visited by Washington, who was thenreturning from viewing Western lands. In 1774 Stephenson commanded a company under Dunmore, and was active on the Virginia side during the troubles between that state and Pennsylvania. In 1775 Stephenson enlisted a company for the colonial cause, and joined Col. Peter Muhlenberg as captain in the 8th Virginia; this regiment saw service at Charleston and Savannah. In the summer of 1777 Stephenson contracted disease, and returned home that autumn. He did not again enter the Continental army, but served as a volunteer on Hand’s campaign (1778), and that of Mcintosh (1778-79). About ?i~o he removed to Kentucky, where he lived and died on the South fork of the Licking, leaving no children. He was a large, active man, brave, kind, and popular. For Samuel Murphy’s reminiscences of Stephenson, with whom he lived, see Draper MSS., 3S1-10, 5S1-9.—ED.
[7] Capt. James Willing, youngest son of Charles and his wife Anne Shippen Willing, was born in Philadelphia Feb. 9, 1751. The Willing family were prominent in colonial affairs, and James’s oldest brother, Thomas, was a partner of Robert Morris, and aided in financing the new nation. James removed in 1774 to Natchez, where he dissipated his patrimony. In 1777 he returned to Philadelphia, and received from Congress a commission as captain in the navy, with permission to proceed to the Mississippi River to secure the neutrality of the inhabitants along its banks and to bring back provisions to the states. He enlisted a company for this purpose (see roll in Penna. Archives, 2nd series, xv, p. 658), and in an armed boat christened “Rattletrap” left Pittsburgh Jan. 10, 1778. Arrived at Natchez he succeeded in securing a pledge of neutrality from the chief inhabitants (see Almon’s Remembrancer, vi, p. 343), but was accused of having in a wanton manner pillaged and inflicted damages on their property. Having proceeded to New Orleans, Willing captured a small British vessel at Manchac, and used this for further depredations on the property of British sympathizers. In the following year he sent his troops back oup the river under charge of Lieut. Robert George, who placed them under the orders of Gen. George Rogers Clark. Willing himself proceeded to Mobile, where he was captured and narrowly escaped being hung. He was finally shipped as prisoner to New York, and Kept on Long Island, under parole, with other American officers. Having resented an insult offered by a British officer, Willing was incarcerated in New York City and loaded with irons, where he remained for three months . One of his sisters, wife of a British officer, interceded for him with Sir Henry Clinton, who finally permitted him to return to Philadelphia on parole until exchanged. He is said to have been exchanged for Henry Hamilton, governor of Detroit. Willing was never married. He made his home in Philadelphia, where he died Oct. 13, 1801

DNA Shows Newly Discovered Human Relative Roamed Widely in Asia
Dec 23, 2010 – 8:59 AM
Malcolm Ritter
AP
NEW YORK -- Scientists have recovered the DNA code of a human relative recently discovered in Siberia, and it delivered a surprise: This relative roamed far from the cave that holds its only known remains.
By comparing the DNA to that of modern populations, scientists found evidence that these "Denisovans" from more than 30,000 years ago ranged all across Asia. They apparently interbred with the ancestors of people now living in Melanesia, a group of islands northeast of Australia.
There's no sign that Denisovans mingled with the ancestors of people now living in Eurasia, which made the connection between Siberia and distant Melanesia quite a shock.
David Reich, Nature/AP
This undated photo provided by the journal Nature shows two views of an upper molar tooth found in a Siberian cave from a recently discovered relative of humans that lived more than 30,000 years ago. DNA revealed that this creature is more closely related to Neanderthals than to modern humans. That indicates that both this creature and Neanderthals sprang from a common ancestor on a different branch of the evolutionary family tree than the one leading to modern humans. (David Reich, Nature/AP)
It's the second report in recent months of using a new tool, genomes of ancient human relatives, to illuminate the evolutionary history of humankind. In May, some of the same scientists reported using the Neanderthal genome to show that Neanderthals interbred with ancestors of today's non-African populations. That might have happened in the Middle East after the ancestors left Africa but before they entered Eurasia, researchers said.
As for the Denisovans, the new work is probably just the start of what can be learned from their genome, said one expert familiar with the research. Eventually, it should provide clues to traits like eye and skin color, said Todd Disotell of New York University.
"We're going to be able to piece these people together in the next few years from this genome," he said.
The existence of a new human relative was first revealed just nine months ago from a sampling of DNA recovered from a finger bone discovered in the Denisova Cave in southern Siberia. Researchers proposed the informal name Denisovans for them in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature, where they report the new results.
There's not enough evidence to determine whether Denisovans are a distinct species, the researchers said.
The genome, recovered from the finger bone, showed that Denisovans are more closely related to Neanderthals than to modern humans. That indicates that both they and Neanderthals sprang from a common ancestor on a different branch of the evolutionary family tree than the one leading to modern humans.
Scientists have no idea what Denisovans looked like, said David Reich, a Harvard University researcher and an author of the new paper.
Apart from the genome, the researchers reported finding a Denisovan upper molar in the cave. Its large size and features differ from teeth of Neanderthals or early modern humans, both of which lived in the same area at about the same time as the Denisovans.
Neither the finger bone nor the tooth can be dated directly, but tests of animal bones found nearby show the Denisovan remains are at least 30,000 years old, and maybe more than 50,000 years old, Reich said.
Scientists found evidence that in the genomes of people now living in Melanesia, about 5 percent of their DNA can be traced to Denisovans, a sign of ancient interbreeding that took researchers by surprise.
Did Abe Lincoln's Assassin Escape? DNA May Solve Mystery
Dec 23, 2010 – 2:01 PM
David Lohr Contributor
Descendants of John Wilkes Booth have agreed to exhume his brother's body for DNA testing in an attempt to determine whether the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln escaped capture and eluded justice, as the family has been told.
"I'm absolutely in favor of exhuming Edwin," Joanne Hulme, a Booth family historian, told The Philadelphia Inquirer. "Let's have the truth and put this thing to rest."
Library of Congress
The descendants of John Wilkes Booth hope to answer the question of whether he escaped after assassinating President Abraham Lincoln in 1865.
Booth, an actor from Maryland, shot and killed Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., on April 14, 1865. Most believe he was tracked down 10 days later and shot inside a tobacco barn in rural Virginia by Union soldiers and buried in an unmarked grave in Baltimore's Green Mount Cemetery.
That, however, is not the story that has been passed down in the Booth family. According to family members, Booth escaped capture and lived for 38 more years.
That story was also made popular in the 1907 book "The Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth," written by Finis L. Bates. In the book, Bates suggested a Booth look-alike was mistakenly killed at the farm. Booth then assumed the name John St. Helen and committed suicide in 1903 in Enid, Okla.
In an effort to end the speculation, Hulme and her family want to compare DNA from Booth's brother, Edwin, to that of a bone specimen at the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Washington. The bone is from the man who was gunned down inside the barn.
Before an exhumation of Edwin Booth in a cemetery in Cambridge, Mass., the family wants to get permission from the museum to obtain the DNA sample from the bone specimen. A panel of judges will make the final decision.
The museum's public relations department did not immediately returned a message today to AOL News.
Historian Nate Orlowek is also eager to get to the bottom of the story. He's spent decades investigating the case.
"If the man who killed our greatest president got away, and a giant hoax was perpetrated on the American people, then we should know about it," he told the Inquirer. [1]
This Day…
December 24, 1166: Birthdate of King John of England. King John is known to history as the brother of Richard the Lionhearted whom he followed to the throne in 1199. He is also the monarch who was so rapacious that the English nobles banned together and forced him to sign the Magna Charta, which placed limits on the power of the King. John’s record in dealing with the Jews was uneven, to say the least. Since Jews fell outside of the norms of the feudal world of the Middle Ages, special provisions were needed to deal with them. Two years after coming to power, King John issued a special charter guaranteeing the rights of the Jews while he reigned as long as they conformed to all laws and decrees i.e. provided a steady flow of funds to the royal treasury. In essence, the Jews were “the king’s possession” to do with as he pleased. So this same King John, when he needed more money, imprisoned several wealthy Jews in a castle at Bristol in 1210 and held them until they paid a ransom of 66,000 marks. John’s son followed his father’s pattern of behavior in dealing with the Jews. His grandson would expel the Jews from England after squeezing them of all their financial value.[2] John of Lackland is the compilers 24th great grandfather.
December 24, 1294: Pope Boniface VIII is elected Pope. In 1298, four years after Boniface came to power, 628 Jews are killed after a priest Nuremberg, Germany, spreads a story that Jews drove nails through communion hosts, "thereby crucifying Christ again". There are those who hold Boniface accountable for this murderous act, if for no other reason that it took place during his “undistinguished” papal rule.[3]
December 24, 1491: Birthdate Ignatius of Loyola, Spanish founder of the Jesuit order. Loyola was born one year before the Jewish expulsion from Spain. He lived during a period dominated by the Inquistion and Church sanctioned anti-Semitism. “It is accordingly much to their credit that the Jesuits were firmly opposed (particularly under Ignatius and his first three successors as Superior General of the Jesuits) to ecclesiastical anti-Semitism and to the Inquisition's persecution of suspected Jews. When Ignatius was accused of having partly Jewish ancestry, he replied, ‘If only I did! What could be more glorious than to be of the same blood as the Apostles, the Blessed Virgin, and our Lord Himself?’”[4]

FORT PITT, December 24th. 1777
SIR—When I wrote you last, I acquainted you of my intention of visiting Fort Randolph. You will find by the enclosed letters from Capt. Arbuckle that before my arrival there he had confined some Shawanese Indians, & his reasons for so doing. On the IOth. ulto., the day I left this post to go to Kanawha, three men, one of them an ensign of the Bottetourt Militia. straggled over the Kanawha to hunt. The Ensign was killed & scalped within a small distance of the fort, which exasperated the militia to such a degree that a party of them rushed into the fort, & put the Cornstalk, his son, the Red Hawk’s son, & another Indian to death, notwithstanding Capt. Arbuckle’s endeavors to prevent it. From this event we have little reason to expect a reconciliation with the Shawanese, except fear operates on them; for if we had any friends among them, those unfortunate wretches were so. Though from information brought me from the Seneca country, which Lt. Col. Gibson has already communicated to you, we have little reason to expect that will be the case. * * *
Col. Wm. Crawford has arrived.[5] I hope his activity and influence will have a very good effect. If Major John Stephenson[6] could have any appointment worth his acceptance, I think he also would be a valuable acquisition. I wish much to be permitted to lay my proceedings here before Congress. I assure you that I have fully exerted my poor abilities to accomplish the end fOr whch I was ordered here, yet am sorry to say that little advantage has arisen from it; & unless some other measures can be fallen on, I have little reason to promise myself better success for the time to come.
I think that as it is now winter, & Col. Crawford present, my absence for some time would not be attended with inconvenience. If Congress have no particular objection, would esteem it as a most singular indulgence to be recalled & suffered to join the grand army, with them to share the honors & fatigues of the field. Indeed, unless our affairs will admit of the assistance of a regular force, I had rather resign my office than continue here in command of militia.
Capt. Willing[7] had arrived here a few days before my return from Fort Randolph. I have in the best manner I could supplied him with such things as he wanted, but am afraid the river will be shut up before he gets away. * * *

1811: Conrad could have told his grandchildren how William Henry Harrison with 3000 men had defeated Tecumseh in 1811. [20] Many Indian councils were called in Champagne County and Tecumseh was located was located for a time near Deer Creek.[21]
December 24, 1814
The Treaty of Ghent, signed and sealed on December 24, 1814 a full two weeks before the Battle of New Orleans officially ended the War of 1812. [22] In the Age of Sail, the treaty wasn’t fully ratified until February 17, 1815.[23]
At the age of fourteen Abraham Baer Gottlober married the daughter of a wealthy "Hasid" in Chernigov, and settled there. When his inclination for secular knowledge became known, his father-in-law, on the advice of a ?asidic rabbi, caused the young couple to be divorced, and Gottlober, who had joined the Hasidim after his marriage, now became their bitter enemy.[24]
December 24, 1851: Two thirds of the books at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., are destroyed in a fire.[25]
1852: Theopolis McKinnon voted for Scott for president.[26]
December 24, 1852: The deaths of people badly cared for, undernourished, and exposed to the elements during the rigorous winters of 1940, 1941 and 1942, were in fact deliberate assassinations. The Vichy government, “anti-France”, in the words of Dr. J. Weil, whose work on concentration camps is considered authoritative, has shown itself guilty of these crimes. What other name can be given, for example, to the mortality in the camp of Gurs? There were 15 deaths in October, 1940; 180 in November; 270 in December; 140 in January, 1941…
At Gurs on November 26, 1940, Julius Gottlieb, born December 24, 1852 from Ebernburg, died.
Also at Gurs on March 23, 1941 Johanna Gottlieb born May 24, 1859, from Ebernburg, died.[27]
December 24, 1865: The most adverse criticism of these "Galvanized Yankees" came from a high ranking Confederate source, Lt. Gen. W. J. Hardee. On December 24, 1864 he informed Gen. S. Cooper, Insp. General of the Confederacy, that at Savannah such troops had proved "to be utterly untrustworthy. The men deserted in large numbers and finally mutinied and were narrowly prevented from going over in a body to the enemy. The ring leaders were shot, and the remainder sent back to prison. These men were selected with great care, and were principally foreigners, and this is, therefore, a fair test of of such troops. I recommend that all authority to organize similar commands be revoked." [28]
James Oxley, (Iowa Infantry?) a POW at Salisbury, told of a group of about a hundred prisoners who had gone with the recruiter who had promised them plenty to eat. They were all eventually returned to the prison according to Confederate authorities, because they had failed a physical exam. The real reason may have been that they were about to disavow their oath to the Confederacy and defect to the Union lines at the first opportunity. Upon their return to Salisbury they were greeted by much hostility from their fellow prisoners and , according to Oxley, were all dead within a short time.( Mr and Mrs Donald W. David of Marion, Iowa, provided the excerpts from James Oxley's letters. This is one of Oxley's comments. Some of these men may have been killed outright, but Oxley implied the denial of food by their fellow prisoners was the cause of their death. These POWs were not wearing uniforms when they returned. They presented such a spectacle that Oxley exclaimed that they would "make a dead man laugh." [29]
December 24, 1865: The Klu Klux Klan is founded in Pulaski, Tennessee.[30]
December 24, 1894: Alois Brunner, one of Eichmann’s most effective lieutenants. In June, 1943, he took over the administration of Drancy. Convoy 55 was the first he sent to Auschwitz. He organized a special commando that arrested Jews all over France, but especially in Nice where Jews had been protected by the Italians until September, 1943. Brunner was located in Damscus, Syria and his presence was protested there in June, 1982.[31]
On board Convoy 55 was Albert Gottlieb, born December 24, 1894 from Fridlda, (Stateless), and Aurelie Gottlieb, born June 11, 1892 in Lwow. (Polish for Lviv, a major city in western Ukraine. [32]
• December 24, 1942:
•
•
• Pacelli, Pope Pios XII, broadcasts to the world with Giovanni Montini, the future Paul VI, at his left shoulder. His 1942 Christmas Eve broadcast trivialized and denied the Nazi Final Solution.[33]

Adolf perished in 1943 in Auschwitz, Camp at the age of 55. This information is based on a Page of Testimony (displayed on left) submitted on 15-May-1999 by his niece
• Elsa Gotlob nee Frohlich was born in Wien. She was married to Adolf. Prior to WWII she lived in Wien, Austria. During the war she was in Wien, Austria. Elsa perished in Auschwitz, Camp at the age of 45. This information is based on a Page of Testimony (displayed on left) submitted on 15-May-1999 by her nephew.
• Karl Gottlieb, born March 13, 1898 in Fulda. Resided Frankfurt am Main
• Deportation: from Drancy Marz 1943, Majdanek/Lublin. Declared legally dead.[34]
• 1943: The Catholic Church decides that Moses did not write the bible. It decides it is composed of texts of many different authors.[35]

I Get Email!
Jeff,
Alas, the descendents I've contacted have not gotten back to me.
I guess the ball is in their court.
I know if it were MY ancestor I would want the
skull reburied and not sitting in a cardboard box
in a Library.
The Count's wishes were to be buried with his men.
I think the skull should be returned to Red Bank
and some sort of monument/marker put up.
But it's not up to me.
Unfortunately, his men have been moved a few times and now reside in unmarked
graves here:

Bob,
From my experience in DNA research, it required a lot of patience in getting DNA tests. There is a certain amount of apprehension with anything like this. My father took a very direct approach and was successful, but there needs to be a reason for someone to want to do it. Frankly, I don't think it is necessary anyway. If the person or organization that has the skull believes it is Von Donop's then it would be the right of that individual to be reburied as it was stolen in the first place. It may not be anything the family needs to get involved in anyway. The press coverage alone would be a bit of a sensation as the whole Hessian impression is somewhat mythical in its proportion. I know that grave robbing is a crime in this country and this is an unacceptable behavior in our culture. I believe there is a legal precedence that would apply here. This would be I believe a sensible approach that would, with gathering the right people together would come to a sensible conclusion. I would and I believe others would support such an effort. Jeff
Graveyard View of The Old Deptford Strangers Burial Ground - Photograph by J. Brown, September 2005
According to the current caretaker of the Ann Whitall House in National Park, after the "Battle of Red Bank," the Hessian soldiers involved in that battle were buried in the trenches at the site of the battle and they were later moved to the Strangers Burial Ground at Woodbury, New Jersey. She stated that, even later (when their remains were "just bones,") they were removed to this Strangers Burial Ground in Deptford. The site at both Woodbury, and later Deptford, was called "Strangers Burial Ground," because those buried were not members of any of the local religious communities. [Read about Count Donop's grave].
In Glendora, New Jersey, in the Ashbrook Burial Ground are additional Hessian soldiers, who died during their retreat from the "Battle of Red Bank," however they are not the remains of the original soldiers who fell on that battlefield.

October 22, 1777, the battle of Red Bank was fought, and many of the wounded Hessians were brought to Woodbury, and cared for in the old brick school-house on Delaware Street, where many of them died, and were buried in the northerly part of the grounds known as the "Strangers' Burying-Ground."

"The Strangers Burying Ground, which was for more than a century one of the landmarks of Woodbury, occupied about an acre of ground on the south side of Cooper Street west of Broad. In this cemetery many of the Hessians killed at Red Bank were buried. Buttons of uniforms and bayonets were found when the cemetery was vacated. It was condemned about two years ago [about 1915], and a new street known as Lupton Avenue marks the site. The bodies and remaining stones were removed to the Paupers' Burying-Ground, which is located on the old road, now little used, leading from a point near Almonesson to North Woodbury.

[5] 60 For a biographical sketch of Col. William Crawford see Dunmore’.c War, p. 103, note 48; his early Revolutionary service is sketched in Rev. Upper Ohio, p. 250, note 94. After joining the Continental army in August, 1777, Crawford served with efficiency, commanding a detachment of scouts and skirmishing with the British under Howe. November ~q Congress resolved “that General Washington be requested to send Col. William Crawford to Pittsburg to take command under Brigadier General Hand of the Continental troops and militia of the Western department.” In this way Crawford lost his place and rank in the Continental line, and it was never restored to him. He seems to have spent part of the winter of 1777-78 at his own home on the Youghiogheny. In March and April he was present at Yohogania County court, acting as magistrate and commissioner to lay out prison bounds. His subsequent career will be outlined in later documents in this volume.—ED.
[6] 61 Maj. John Stephenson was a half-brother of Col. William Crawford, and was born in Virginia about 1737. He was out in the French and Indian War, and about 1768 removed to the West, settling on Jacob’s Creek, in Fayette County. There in 1770 he was visited by Washington, who was thenreturning from viewing Western lands. In 1774 Stephenson commanded a company under Dunmore, and was active on the Virginia side during the troubles between that state and Pennsylvania. In 1775 Stephenson enlisted a company for the colonial cause, and joined Col. Peter Muhlenberg as captain in the 8th Virginia; this regiment saw service at Charleston and Savannah. In the summer of 1777 Stephenson contracted disease, and returned home that autumn. He did not again enter the Continental army, but served as a volunteer on Hand’s campaign (1778), and that of Mcintosh (1778-79). About ?i~o he removed to Kentucky, where he lived and died on the South fork of the Licking, leaving no children. He was a large, active man, brave, kind, and popular. For Samuel Murphy’s reminiscences of Stephenson, with whom he lived, see Draper MSS., 3S1-10, 5S1-9.—ED.
[7] Capt. James Willing, youngest son of Charles and his wife Anne Shippen Willing, was born in Philadelphia Feb. 9, 1751. The Willing family were prominent in colonial affairs, and James’s oldest brother, Thomas, was a partner of Robert Morris, and aided in financing the new nation. James removed in 1774 to Natchez, where he dissipated his patrimony. In 1777 he returned to Philadelphia, and received from Congress a commission as captain in the navy, with permission to proceed to the Mississippi River to secure the neutrality of the inhabitants along its banks and to bring back provisions to the states. He enlisted a company for this purpose (see roll in Penna. Archives, 2nd series, xv, p. 658), and in an armed boat christened “Rattletrap” left Pittsburgh Jan. 10, 1778. Arrived at Natchez he succeeded in securing a pledge of neutrality from the chief inhabitants (see Almon’s Remembrancer, vi, p. 343), but was accused of having in a wanton manner pillaged and inflicted damages on their property. Having proceeded to New Orleans, Willing captured a small British vessel at Manchac, and used this for further depredations on the property of British sympathizers. In the following year he sent his troops back oup the river under charge of Lieut. Robert George, who placed them under the orders of Gen. George Rogers Clark. Willing himself proceeded to Mobile, where he was captured and narrowly escaped being hung. He was finally shipped as prisoner to New York, and Kept on Long Island, under parole, with other American officers. Having resented an insult offered by a British officer, Willing was incarcerated in New York City and loaded with irons, where he remained for three months . One of his sisters, wife of a British officer, interceded for him with Sir Henry Clinton, who finally permitted him to return to Philadelphia on parole until exchanged. He is said to have been exchanged for Henry Hamilton, governor of Detroit. Willing was never married. He made his home in Philadelphia, where he died Oct. 13, 1801
