December 29, 584 BCE (10 Tevet 3175): The Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, began his siege of Jerusalem leading to the destruction of the first Temple. This day is commemorated as one of the "minor" fasts, lasting from sunrise to sunset. Of course, the tenth of Tevet floats when it appears on the secular calendar.

December 29, 1170: Pope Alexander III forces England to receive Becket. Becket publishes papal letters voiding Constitutions of Clarendon. Becket is killed at Canterbury Cathedral December 29 . Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, is assassinated inside Canterbury Cathedral by four Norman knights, followers of King Henry II. The reign of Henry II was a good period for the Jews of England. Thomas Becket (also known as Saint Thomas of Canterbury, Thomas of London,[1] and later Thomas à Becket;[note 1] circa 1118 – 29 December 1170) was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 until his murder in 1170. He is venerated as a saint and martyr by both the Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion. He engaged in conflict with Henry II of England over the rights and privileges of the Church and was murdered by followers of the king in Canterbury Cathedral. Soon after his death he was canonised by Pope Alexander III.
The main sources for the life of Becket are a number of biographies that were written by contemporaries. A few of these documents are by unknown writers, although traditional historiography has given them names. The known biographers are John of Salisbury, Edward Grim, Benedict of Peterborough, William of Canterbury, William fitz Stephen, Guernes of Pont-Sainte-Maxence, Robert of Cricklade, Alan of Tewkesbury, Benet of St Albans, and Herbert of Bosham. The other biographers, who remain anonymous, are generally given the pseudonyms of Anonymous I, Anonymous II (or Anonymous of Lambeth), and Anonymous III (or Lansdowne Anonymous). Besides these accounts, there are also two other accounts that are likely contemporary that appear in the Quadrilogus II and the Thomas Saga Erkibyskups. Besides these biographies, there is also the mention of the events of Becket's life in the chroniclers of the time. These include Robert of Torigni's work, Roger of Howden's Gesta Regis Henrici Secundi and Chronica, Ralph Diceto's works, William of Newburgh's Historia Rerum, and Gervase of Canterbury's works.[3]

Whatever Henry said, it was interpreted as a royal command, and four knights,[9] Reginald fitzUrse, Hugh de Morville, William de Tracy, and Richard le Breton,[1] set out to confront the Archbishop of Canterbury.
On December 29, 1170 they arrived at Canterbury. According to accounts left by the monk Gervase of Canterbury and eyewitness Edward Grim, they placed their weapons under a tree outside the cathedral and hid their mail armour under cloaks before entering to challenge Becket. The knights informed Becket he was to go to Winchester to give an account of his actions, but Becket refused. It was not until Becket refused their demands to submit to the king's will that they retrieved their weapons and rushed back inside for the killing.[13] Becket, meanwhile, proceeded to the main hall for vespers. The four knights, wielding drawn swords, caught up with him in a spot near a door to the monastic cloister, the stairs into the crypt, and the stairs leading up into the quire of the cathedral, where the monks were chanting vespers.[1]


Altar marking the spot of Thomas Becket's martyrdom, Canterbury Cathedral.
Several contemporary accounts of what happened next exist; of particular note is that of Edward Grim, who was himself wounded in the attack. This is part of the account from Edward Grim:
...The wicked knight leapt suddenly upon him, cutting off the top of the crown which the unction of sacred chrism had dedicated to God. Next he received a second blow on the head, but still he stood firm and immovable. At the third blow he fell on his knees and elbows, offering himself a living sacrifice, and saying in a low voice, 'For the name of Jesus and the protection of the Church, I am ready to embrace death.' But the third knight inflicted a terrible wound as he lay prostrate. By this stroke, the crown of his head was separated from the head in such a way that the blood white with the brain, and the brain no less red from the blood, dyed the floor of the cathedral. The same clerk who had entered with the knights placed his foot on the neck of the holy priest and precious martyr, and, horrible to relate, scattered the brains and blood about the pavements, crying to the others, 'Let us away, knights; this fellow will arise no more.[14]

December 29, 1709: Birthdate of Empress Elizabeth of Russia. The daughter of Peter the Great was an enemy of the Jews. She reiterated and reinforced the decrees already in existence banning Jews from the Russian Empire. Despite requests from some of her advisors that Jewish merchants be allowed to visit the kingdom since it would enrich Russia, Elizabeth held firm. This is yet another example of Religious zeal over-ruling all other considerations. According to one account, at least 35,000 Jews were forced to leave Russia because of her. Her legacy was a Jew Free Russia – something that would not last because of Russian greed for the land of others.

No. 20.—William CRAWFORD TO George WASHINGTON
SPRING GARDEN, December 29, 1773.
SIR:—Some people, about ten or twelve in number, have gone on your Chartier’s land within these few days; and there is no getting them off except by force of arms. They are encouraged by Major Ward, brother to Colonel Croghan, who claims the land, and says he has a grant of it from the Crown. He will indemnify them, if they will move in any house where no person is living. He also offers the land for sale, warranting the purchaser a lawful title. He further adds that Colonel Croghan says you and I have used his brother very ill, in pretending to buy his land and did not, but went and took the best of it, and would not agree to pay him. That was the reason offered for selling the land to any person who should choose to buy.
I think such proceedings as these, if not stopped, will soon bring the whole country to ruin. Those men have not bought of him, but took your land, and say they will keep it. I could drive them away, but they will come back immediately—as soon as my back is turned. The man I put on the land, they have driven away, and built a house so close to his that he can not get in at the door. -
Inclosed you have a faint draft, made by guess, of the way his land has been claimed and run, amid the way his deed from the Indians is : one in the fork of time two rivers, and one at the mouth of Sewickley on Youghiogheny. The grant he makes so much noise about is the one on the Ohio amid Raccoon creek, first run by Captain William Thompson. The limits of his grant, as I have found since, by a copy of the whole three from Philadelphia, are as follows:
The line run by Mr. Campbell to the month of Peter’s creek is over and above his grant; much more, the line run by Mr. Hooper to the Little Redstone, which is nearly four times as much as his Indian deed calls for. What pretention he can have for the other land I am at a loss to know. Your land is two miles and better from the utmost limits of his land, as you will see by the way it is laid down on the stream called Miller’s Run. -
When Thompson run the land and made out the draft and delivered it to him, Colonel Croghan said it was not run right. Then he employed Mr. Campbell and told him that the river must be twisted up to the mouth of Peter’s creek, as that was the bounds of his lands. When Mr. Campbell had run the line as marked, and delivered the draft to him, Colonel Croghan said he had not run the land right ; he should have allowed him ten degrees for variation of the compass. Then he got Mr. Hooper and run this last line, as you see marked, He then employed Mr. Pentecost to run thirty thousand acres on the head of Chartier’s creek and Cross creek. This still left you out; but since then, Major Ward takes you and myself, and Lund Washington in, and says Colonel Croghan has a grant from the Crown for the land, and has given him that part, as low as the mouth of Wheeling. He has had a surveyor laying off tracts of land till they have been stopped by the People. How he will proceed now I know not.
I can recover the land by law of this Province, or, at least, a great part of it; as it is as well improved as any in the country, where no person lives; but this will be costly and troublesome. I shall await your answer before I proceed; as probably, you may fall on some other way; as some late accounts from Philadelphia say the new prietary government has fallen through, and that the government is to remain in the hands of Lord Dunmore; which I hope will put us on a better footing than we are likely to be under the present state of matters.
When Lord Dunmore was at my house he gave me the promise he would intercede for a district of surveying out the Ohio for me; and now he will have it in his power, if he pleases to give me one, and I have written to him on that head. I should be glad if you would help me in that; as it is, or will be, in your power so to do should matters fall in that channel. Should I get anything of the sort, I should be glad to have one adjoining me, as it would be near me and suit me much the best. Under the present circumstances, what lies between me and the surveys I have made, will not be much; all the land worth anything is already surveyed. - But if you can do anything for me, pray do; as it will then be in my power to be of service to you, and myself too, and our friends.
You probably may get your land on Chartier’s creek patented; that would put an end to further trouble; but this I will leave to your own judgment. I am, etc.
In 1773 Washington placed an ad in The Pennsylvania Gazette offering 20,000 acres of his land on the Ohio and Great Kanawha for lease to people willing to clear and till it.

1774: Daniel Boone camped in 1760 in Abingdon Virginia he was on a hunting trip with Nathanial Gist while camped wolves emerged from a cave and attacked their dogs. Boone then gave Abingdon it's first name "Wolf Hills" . Abingdon carried the name until 1774 when Joseph Black erected a fort in the area, and gave it the name "Blacks Fort". Does anyone know the wife and children of Joseph Black? I need the parent of Mary Mercer Black,who in 1781 married Ebenezer Fain. They lived Washington Co Tenn, Buncombe Co. NC, Habersham Co. Georgia, also Fannin, Union and Gilmer Cos of Georgia. Jeanette.

In Reply to: Joseph Black "Black's Fort" 1774 Abingdon Virginia by Jeanette Fain Cornelius of 9568



Back in 1982 I received a letter with the following information which came from an Inez Burns, a historian for Blount County:

John Black's will in Frederick Co. VA Will Book I p. 157 (1747)shows he married Elizabeth Colville. Children of John Black and Elizabeth Colville are Joseph Black who married Jane ? before 1769, Jane Black (my ancestor) who was born Feb 4, 1741 and married John Vance, also Christian Black (daughter), Martha Black, Elizabeth Black (born after her father's will) who married Lt. William Blackburn.

Also information from David Evans of Houston, Texas was:
Joseph Colville (1691-1757) m. 1720 to Elizabeth ?. Their children:
Joseph II 1721-1816,married 1743 to Mary Poe & 1765 to Martha Colville (a cousin)
William Colville 1723-1746
Martha Colville 1725- ? married 1745 to Robert Colville (a cousin)
Sarah Colville 1727 - ?. Married William Vance
Elizabeth Colville 1729 to 1756 married John Black and then Samuel Newell (1723-1778)
Capt. Andrew Colville 1731-1797 m. 1760 to Mary Craig
Samuel Colville 1733-1807 m 1756 Agnes Colville.

Joseph Colville came to Virginia via Philadelphia from Ireland about 1735. He had cousins James, John and George who arrived inAugusta Co. VA about 1738-40. James and Joseph moved to Frederick Co. His son, Joseph II, migrated to Washington Co VA and James III, son of Joseph II moved to Knox County Ohio.

According to the information in the letter the family Bible record is given in Kentucky Historical Register, vol 27, p 650.

I have never verified any of this. Hope it helps you, though. If you find out Joseph Black's birth, death and marriage dates and what his wife's last name is, I'd certainly be interested.

Despite the moderate success and freedoms enjoyed by many American Jews, by 1820 the Jewish population of the United States had reached only 4,000. The overwhelming majority of Jews chose to remain in European communities where they could be assured of the resources necessary for living a religious Jewish life, and travel to the United Sates from the interior of the European continent was difficult and expensive in any case.

1820

Images of the Promised Land remain central to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), the Christian-like religion founded in 1820 by Joseph Smith, who had been a Methodist farmer. Smith claimed that God had carved the religion’s seminal text, The Book of Mormon, on gold tablets, which he found at God’s direction but which then mysteriously disappeared. According to LDS theology, after the Tower of Babel was destroyed, the brother of Jared led his people to the land “where never had man been,” which Smith maintained was the Americas. Around 600 BCE shortly before the Assyrians began dismembering the northern kingdom, a wealthy Hebrew merchant from the northern tribe of Menasseh named Lehi fled with his friend Ishmael and their families south, into the Arabian Peninsula, until they reached a fertile coastal region called Bountiful. They soon built a ship and sailed across the eastern oceans to the Americas, where Lehi’s son Nephi and Laman, were said to have founded rival tribes: the Newphites and Lamanites. After centuries of peaceful coexistence, the Lamanites turned on their sibling nation, all but wiping them out.

The former Mormon bishop Simon Southerton, a devout believer but also an Australian molecular biologist, quit the church over the dispute and after his research found no evidence that “supported migration of Jewish people before Columbus.” “The truth,” he wrote, is that “there is no reliable scientific evidence supporting migrations from the Middle East to the New World.”

William Tecumseh Sherman was born in Lancaster, Ohio.
1820 – Ataluntiski was succeeded as principal chief of the Cherokee Nation West, by his brother John Jolly.
The National Council (in Cherokee Nation East) established eight judicial districts with courts in each to handle civil disputes. The districts also served for elections and legislative matters.
December 29, 1835 – After a week of negotiations, the price for the land of the Cherokee Nation was brought up to (1) five million dollars, to be disbursed on a per capita basis, (2) an additional half-million dollars for educational funds, (3) title in perpetuity to an equal amount of land in Indian Territory to that given up, (4) full compensation for all property left in the East, and (5) provision for the Cherokee who so desire to remain and become citizens of the states in which they reside on 160 acres (0.65 km2). The negotiating committee reported the results to the full council (all persons present) gathered at New Echota, which approved the treaty unanimously. The Treaty of New Echota specifying terms and conditions for Cherokee removal to the west of the Mississippi River was then signed by Major Ridge, Elias Boudinot, James Foster, Testaesky, Charles Moore, George Chambers, Tahyeske, Archilla Smith, Andrew Ross, William Lassley, Caetehee, Tegaheske, Robert Rogers, John Gunter, John A. Bell, Charles Foreman, William Rogers, George W. Adair, James Starr, and Jesse Halfbreed. After Shermerhorn returned to Washington City with the signed treaty, John Ridge and Elias Boudinot add their names. John Ross refused to sign, returned to the Cherokee Nation, and implied to his supporters that he worked out a deal with the government that if the Cherokee follow him, they will not have to be displaced. The clause in the treaty as signed allowing Cherokee who so desired to remain was stricken out by President Jackson. (Brown, p. 498–499)

1836
Joseph Colville Vance was one of the early Governors of State of Ohio in 1836. Joseph Coleville Vance is the compilers 2nd cousin, 7 times removed.
In 1836 Robert Lucas was succeeded as governor of Ohio by Joseph Vance, who became the state’s thirteenth executive. Vance was born in Catfish, now Washington, Pennsylvania, on March 21, 1786.
In 1836 Vance accepted the nomination for governor and was elected in the first Whig victory in the state. As governor, Vance gave substantial support to the public school system, advocating that federal surplus funds be used for the schools, and he urged the completion of the canals then under construction. He favored the recharter of the United States Bank, and he urged the abolition of capital punishment. Governor Vance was a forceful and capable executive, but he lost his popularity with the antislavery people of the state by the extradition of John B. Mahan, wanted in Kentucky for aiding the escape of two slaves. This action probably contributed more than any other one cause to his defeat for reelection in 1838, when he lost to the Democratic candidate, Wilson Shannon.
During Vances administration there occurred an abortive rebellion in Canada in which a number of Ohioans, gathered in so-called Hunters’, or Patrots’, Lodges, attempted to take part. Though severely critical of their actions, Vance did not believe that he had any authority to interfere, though he promised the secretary of state and the army commander at Detroit to do all in his power to prevent the removal of arms belonging to the state militia.

In 1836, Gottlober continued his wandering,

1836-1837
Then, in 1836, Andrew Jackson (1st Cousin, 9 times removed) issued the Specie Circular, which required buyers of government lands to pay in "specie" (gold or silver coins). The result was a great demand for specie, which many banks did not have enough of to exchange for their notes. These banks collapsed.[27] This was a direct cause of the Panic of 1837, which threw the national economy into a deep depression. It took years for the economy to recover from the damage.

Joseph Vance4, David3, William2, Andrew1. Crumrine notes that a Joseph Vance was a member of Congress from Urbana, Ohio, and Governor of Ohio in 1836-1838. Gov. Vance was a grandson of Maj. William Vance, but Crumrine does not give the father, so it may be this Joseph, or another. RC Smith has Joseph Vance married to Nancy ?.

1836-1851
Gottlober was a prolific writer and one of the foremost of Neo-Hebrew poets. The first collection of his poems, which was entitled "Pir?e ha-Abib," appeared in Yozefov in 1836. Abraham Baer Gottlober traveled and taught from 1836 to 1851, when he went to Jitomir and passed the teachers' examinations at the rabbinical school. After teaching for three years at a government school for Jewish boys in Kamenetz-Podolsk, he was transferred to a similar position in his native city, where he remained for about eleven years.

December 29, 1860: Sarah married John Buchanan Floyd (b. 1806 / d. 1863) on June 1, 1830 in Washington Co. VA. John was the Governor of Virginia from 1849 – 1852. . He married Sarah Buchanan Preston, his cousin. They had no children, but adopted their orphaned cousin Eliza Mary Johnston. Although a strong opponent of secession, he was in 1860 involved in incidents which gave rise to controversy, particularly over the sending of arms to the southern states in excess of their requirements. He resigned a Secretary of War on December 29, 1860 on Buchanan's refusal to order Maj. Robert Anderson back from Fort Sumter to Fort Moultrie. He was also involved in troubles which occurred when fraud in connection with Indian trust funds was discovered. After Virginia seceded he was appointed Colonel of Volunteers in the Provisional Army of Virginia may 17, 1861 and having raised a brigade of volunteers for the Confederate army was appointed Brigadier General May 23, 1861. He was in command of forces in West Virginia in 1861 and then was sent to reinforce Albert Sydney Johnston, who sent him to Fort Donelson. Before the surrender of that fort he withdrew his troops, pursuant to an agreement with Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner to whom he turned over the command. President Davis removed him from command without a Court of Inquiry for failure to ask for reinforcements, for not evacuating sooner, and for abandoning command to Buckner and escaping. Two months later, however, he was made a Major General by the Virginia State Line with responsibility for defending the salt mines near Saltville. His death resulted from exposure in the field.

MOORE TO IRVINE.


IN Council, December 29, 1781.
Sir:—Our assembly rose last night, having spent most of their time about a contested election; and, I am sorry to add, have done but little in regard to supplies for carrying on the war this year. However, they have adjourned to the second Monday in February, when, I hope, their attention will be turned from party disputes to the public service.
I have sent; you under care of Messrs. Meason and Proctor, representatives for Westmoreland and Washington counties, the sum of five hundred pounds, specie, for the purpose of recruiting the Pennsylvania troops under your command. Nine pounds specie are allowed for each recruit, to serve dur¬ing the war, now raising here; six pounds specie are allowed to each recruit to be raised in the ranging companies, to serve during the war. The council repose confidence in you to raise the men on the best terms you can; and when this money is expended, your orders on us will be met with due honor, for any number of recruits you may engage.
The gentlemen are just going off, and I have only time to add that I wish you health and happiness, and success in the recruiting business.

End quote. (Recorded after the decease of Hannah, his wife).


December 29, 1900: On board Convoy 5 was Chaim Gotlib, born December 29, 1900 from Mordi, France. His nationality is indicated as Polish.

This convoy left from Beaune-la-Roland. It was composed mainly of Jews from the Greater Paris area, arrested during the operations of May and August, 1941.

Among the 965 persons whom the Germans listed according to nationality were: 752 Poles; 53 French; 41 Czechs; 12 Romanians,; 10 Austrians; 6 Russians; 3 Germans; 2 Dutch; 2 Belgians; 10 stateless; and 73 undetermined.

There were 1004 men and 34 women, as indicated in the telex dated June 29 (XXVb-102) addressed by the Kommando of the SiPo-SD of Orleans to the anti-Jewish section of the Paris Gestapo. This document states further that : 34 Jewish women and 73 Jewish men were arrested in the Orleans region by the French police in order to fill the quota; the Prefect Martin-Sane took steps in favor of the French Jews; and Dr. Cremieux, form Paris, was part of this convoy which left Beaun-la-Roland at 5:20 AM.

Ten days earlier, on June 19, this departure time was indicated in the document #XXVI-35, which noted that the train would stop at Pithiviers at 6:08 to 6:15 AM.

The routine telex to Berlin, Oranienburg and Auschwitz was sent on June 28. Composed by SS Ahnert, it was signed by Dannecker, the head of the anti-Jewish section , who stated that the head of the convoy was Lieut. Kleinschmidt.

Other documents concerning this convoy are XXVb-36, 37, and 38 of June 17 and 18 (see also Convoysw 3 and 4).

The list has not deteriorated with time. It is arranged as follow:

1) List of the 34 Jewish women, the majority from Orleans, Blois andBorges. Twenty-three of the 34 are French. The oldest was 47; three of them were barely sixteen; and youngest, Jeannin Stickgold, was a schoolgirl of 15, leaving with her mother, Celine. Both were French, born in Paris.
2) “Sonderaktion” list (June 25, 1942). This “special action” specifies the arrest, in the Orleans region, of the 34 Jewish women and 30 Jewish men who together comprise this second list. One name, the 29th is crossed out: Ziffer, Adolphe, born May 5, 1904, in Belsetz, Polish, a painter, living in Paris, 5 Burenton Street, married, one child. Next to this name, it says in German, “Tot bei Fluchversuch,” or “perished while attempting to escape.” In fact, it has been verified that Ziffer survived.
The names are listed alphabetically. Some of the thiry men were the husbands of the deported women. The oldest was 58; the youngest, Bernard Jedwab, was 16. He was French, as were 15 others from this group.

3) List of 43 Jews, also arrest in the Orleans region. There were several fathers with the adolescent sons. The youngest, Maurice Cytrynowiez, was 15 years old; hes breother Guy was 17. Both were born in Paris.
4) List of 932 men departing from Beaune. They are listed alphabetically and include 68 names (the last 68) which were crossed out. Details include: camp number in Beaune, family name, first name, jplace and date of birth, family status, profession, nationality and residence.

Some 800 of the men on this list were between ages 32 and 42.

December 29, 1961 Press reports that JFK today accepts the resignation of Gen.
Charles P. Cabell as deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Cabell has been deputy
director since 1953. (During JFK’s ill-fated motorcade in Dallas, Gen. Cabell’s brother is mayor of that city.)
JFK wires Khrushchev from Palm Beach that 1961 has been a “troubled” year: “It is my
earnest hope that the coming year will strengthen the foundations of world peace and will bring an
improvement in the relations between our countries, upon which so much depends.”

December 29, 1962 JFK and Jacqueline are driven in an open white car onto the
Orange Bowl field in Miami before a crowd of forty thousand Americans and Cuban exiles
gathered to welcome the surviving veterans of the Bay of Pigs from Cuban jails. Dean Rusk and
McGeorge Bundy have advised the President not to attend the rally. Ken O’Donnell has
warned JFK that “It will look as though you’re planning to back them in another invasion of Cuba.” But
RFK says his brother’s presence will help to soften his sense of guilt over the Bay of Pigs. During
the course of the ceremony, JFK is presented the brigade’s banner by Pepe San Roman, the
Brigade commander. The banner had flown over the invasion site for three days. “I can assure
you, “ say JFK, pausing for effect, “that this flag will be returned to this brigade in a free Havana.” The
applause is rapturous, but JFK’s advisers are worried. JFK’s last remarks are not in the script,
and they imply a commitment to the exile cause which is simply not there any more. (In 1975,
bitter members of the Brigade who feel betrayed by Kennedy and his successors will demand and obtain the
flag’s return from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library.) After hearing about the remark JFK has
made concerning the banner, Fidel Castro complains to a crowd that Kennedy had had too much
to drink.
December 29, 1978 :In Iran, Dr. Gholam Hossein Sadiqi announced he had failed to form a government. The Shah asked Shapour Bakhtiar to attempt the task.

December 28, 1235: A ritual murder massacre at Fulda resulted in the death of 32 Jews. The Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire established an investigation at Hagenau (located in modern Alsac) to confirm or disprove the charges. After hearing various experts he declared that since Jews are prohibited from eating animal blood, they would surely be banned from using human blood. He forbade anyone from accusing Jews of this charge.[1] The Jews of Fulda, Germany were accused of ritual murder. Jewish converts to Christianity were questioned about Jewish ritual practice. Letters inviting prominent individuals to the conference still survive. At the conference, the converts stated unequivocally that Jews do not harm Christian children or require blood for any rituals.[2]

•

1236: Pope Gregory IX in 1236 ordered the confiscation of Hebrew books.[3] Crusaders attack Jewish communities of Anjou and Poitou and attempt to baptize all the Jews. Those who resisted (Est. 3,000) were slaughtered.[4] The Emperor published findings of investigation into blood libel.[5] Alexander Nevski named Grand Duke of Novgorod, Arabs lose Cordoba to Castile, death of Bavarian minnesinger Neidhardt von Reuenthal, Pope Gregory IX excommunicates Frederick II, Theodoric of Luca pioneers anesthesias, Alexander Nevski becomes Prince of Novgorod to 1263, Henry marries Eleanor of Provence. [6]

December 28, 1503: Little is known about Thomas Cromwell's early life. It is believed he was born at the top of Putney Hill, on the edge of Putney Heath. In 1878, his birthplace was still of note: "The site of Cromwell's birthplace is still pointed out by tradition, and is in some measure confirmed by the survey of Wimbledon Manor, quoted above, for it describes on that spot 'an ancient cottage called the smith's shop, lying west of the highway from Richmond to Wandsworth, being the sign of the Anchor.' The plot of ground here referred to is now covered by the Green Man public house."[2] Putney Heath was a noted haunt of highwaymen, and only a few brave souls ventured across it at night.

Cromwell made a declaration to Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer that he had been a "ruffian...in his young days".[1] As a youth, he left his family in Putney and crossed the Channel to the continent. Accounts of his activities in France, Italy, and the Low Countries are sketchy and contradictory. It is alleged that he first became a mercenary and marched with the French army to Italy, where he fought in the battle of Garigliano on December 28, 1503. While in Italy, he entered the household of the Florentine merchant banker Francesco Frescobaldi.[7]

December 28, 1703: Mustafa II, Ottoman Sultan passed away. During his reign, the Turks conquered Belgrade and the Jews returned to the city. Mustafa continue the practice of his predecessors and employed Jews a court physicians including Doctor Tobias Cohen and Doctor Israel Koenigland.[8]



1. ANDREW1 HARRISON, was in the Rappahannock Valley as early as 1704; re­sided in St. Mary’s Parish, Essex County, Virginia, where he died in 1718. His wife was Eleanor (surname unknown) [9]



1704

“He married a daughter of Colonel Lawrence Smith, of Gloucester County. A deed on record in Essex, dated 1704, mentions that Lawrence Smith gave to his son-in-law, John Battaile, a power of Attorney to sell certain lands in Essex, February, 1701-8, recorded in a book chiefly deeds, in Essex, 1701-1708.[10]



1704
In 1704, Andrew1 Harrison, Richard Long, and Samuel Elliot (possibly the father or brother of Eleanor?) received a land grant of 813 acres in the Golden Vale for the purpose of bringing headrights from England. Nothing is known specifically as to their success in this venture, but subsequently they received patents for nearly 2,000 acres.[11] In 1704 he was granted land southwest of Golden Vale on the Mattaponi River in King and Queen Co. VA.[12]


1704
In the 1704 Quit Rent Roll for Essex he (Andrew1 Harrison, Sr.) owned 300 acres. [13]

December 28, 1764

Richard Stephenson of the foregoing will, may have discovered the inevitable death knell as he began making his final arrangements, before March 21st, 1765. Three days after Christmas, in December of 1764, he deeded to his son, Richard Stephenson, Jr., a tract of land, which is recorded in Frederick County Court of Virginia. The witnesses were: John Slayton, William Crawford, Joseph Beeler, William McCormick and Hugh Stephenson. The will of Richard Stephenson, Jr., is recorded in present Berkely County, West Virginia, therefore the land deed to him by his father, may be located in that area. (Berkeley County was once a part of old Frederick County, Virginia).[19]



Richard Stephenson (son of John? Stephenson)49, 50, 51 was born 1716 in Virginia52, and died 1765 in Jefferson County, WV. He married Honoria Grimes Crawford.

Includes NotesNotes for Richard Stephenson:
From "The Frontiersman" by A Allen Eckhers (Richard Stephenson) was an indentured servant bought by my GGrandfather (your G Uncle) Valentine Crawford on the docks of Philadelphia and raised in the family home etc. until he worked out his obligation. !Son of Honora Grimes 2nd mar to Richard STEPHENSON (1st mar. to Col. Wm. Crawford)

All sons were leaders in the Rev. War except Marcus who ended as a private.

BEERS: WASHINGTON COUNTY: Page 791
Richard Stevenson was married in early manhood to Mrs Honora Crawford (widow of Hugh Crawford, an old Indian trader, by whom she had two sons, William and Valentine). William Crawford was colonel of the Fifth Virginia Regulars, commissioned in 1781. The circumstances of his death, which occurred June 11, 1782, in Sandusky, Ohio, are recorded in nearly every U. S. history. He was burned at the stake by Indians (who had captured him) for the evident purpose of wreaking vengeance on their victim in return for the historic massacre at Gnadenhutten, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, many Indians having been there slaughtered by the whites. At the time of his capture Col. Crawford was conducting a campaign against the Wyandotts and Moravian tribes. To the union of Richard and Honora (Crawford) Stevenson children were born as follows: John, Hugh, Richard, James, Marcus and one daughter. Mrs. Stevenson possessed great physical strength, and was a kind and affectionate mother; she died in 1776. Gen. George Washington was a frequent visitor at this home, often taking part in athletic contests with the sons. The early friendship ripened with the passing years, and when Gen. Washington rose to prominence in military life, James Stevenson was yet his dearest friend and constant companion.

History of Berkeley County, West Virginia
Welcome to historic Berkeley County,WV, one of the first settled areas of the State of West Virginia. Many Quakers and Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, along with the English and Dutch, became residents here in the early 1700s. They were followed by the Germans who built many present farm complexes. The
County has a wealth of historic, architecturally important buildings dating from the 1740s into the 20th century. Many of these buildings, including several districts and villages, have been researched and placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Berkeley County was formed from Frederick County, Virginia, in 1772 and named for Lord Norborne Berkeley. The County seat was established in the
colonial village of Martinsburg, named for Thomas Bryan Martin, Lord Fairfax's nephew, and was incorporated in 1778. The arrival of the B&O Railroad in the 1840s gave Martinsburg and Berkeley County a big boost. During the Civil War, Martinsburg and Berkeley County, still a part of Virginia, experienced conflict and much destruction. Many families had divided allegiances. In June1861 Stonewall Jackson destroyed the railroad cars at the Martinsburg B&O Railroad complex and commandeered the engines, dragging them through Winchester to Strasburg. The Roundhouse and machine shops were completely stripped. The first major conflict in the area occurred on July 2, 1861, when the North's General Robert Patterson crossed the Potomac River at Williamsport and defeated the South's General Joseph E. Johnston and General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. On October 18 and 19,1862 the Martinsburg B&O Railroad complex and Roundhouses were burned. After November 1863, Berkeley County became a part of the new state of West Virginia that supported the North. In 1872 the Pennsylvania Railroad came to the area, and it, along with the B&O Railroad, gave the area an excellent transportation base. In early times, a major source of the area's income came from selling flour produced by the area's water-powered mills to the Alexandria and Baltimore markets. Electricity, replacing water power, soon followed and the area became a large textile milling center. Martinsburg continues to be the focus of the business area of Berkeley County. Many of Martinsburg's historic and architecturally important buildings were included in seven historic districts placed on the NationalRegister of Historic Places in December 1980. Two more districts were placed on the National Register in December 2002.

Jefferson County, West Virginia
Jefferson County was established on October 26, 1801, from a portion of Berkeley County by an act of the Virginia General Assembly. It was named after Thomas Jefferson, vice-president of the United States and president elect. Years earlier, Jefferson had stood on a rock high above the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers at Harpers Ferry. In his Notes on the State of Virginia, he remarked that this view was "worth a trip across the Atlantic." The view is still breathtaking, and Jefferson County is still worth the trip. Located in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, Jefferson is the easternmost county in the state, being bounded by the Potomac River and Maryland on the north, the Blue Ridge Mountains and Loudoun County, Virginia, on the east, Clarke County, Virginia, on the south, and Opecquon Creek and Berkeley County, West Virginia, on the West. The county occupies 212.41 square miles, being 24 miles from north to south and 12 miles from east to west. Municipalities include Charles Town, the county seat (established in 1789 by George Washington's brother, Charles), Ranson (1910), Harpers Ferry (1851), Bolivar (1825), and Shepherdstown (1762). Two other municipalities, Virginius (1827) and Smithfield or Middleway (1798), were not rechartered after the Civil War.

September 2002, I was fortunate to make a trip to Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia, with my mom, Sara Stephenson Varner and my aunt, Mid Stephenson Maize. Several years ago, I had gotten in contact with an elderly lady, Mrs. John Porter Burns, as I was told by the local Jefferson County Museum that they owned the original Stephenson house. I never made it there. This summer, I contacted her again, but was replied by her daughter, Patricia Dicks. Her mother was still living in the home, but she was 87 years old now. Patricia, as did her mother several years ago, graciously invited us to see the home. We made reservations in the Antiquated Hilltop Inn at Harper’s Ferry. It is situated on a cliff overlooking the merge of the Shenandoah and the Potomac Rivers.
Patricia Dicks, who is a local school teacher in Shepherdstown, came to let us follow her to the farm the next day which is located off of Rt. 340 between Charles Town, WV and Ripon, WV. They showed us around inside and out, describing stories of their childhood, family, and the land.

The original home had been made of a cobblestone, (found all around), as the base of the mansion is still standing, but it is now a brick mansion. It is flanked on each side with a smaller cobblestone buildings, assumed to be a school and a kitchen. These 2 smaller buildings are the original Stephenson buildings, and the base of the mansion also. Richard Stephenson willed this property and houses to his youngest son, Richard Stephenson Jr in 1765. It was later owned by the Dr. John Bull, Beverly Whiting (where the current name of the estate came from, the prior name being Kalorama), Matthew Frame, and the current owners of over a century, the John Burns family.

I am attaching pictures of this beautiful farm, which is dunned a historical site, for preservation, and it is still farmed by the Burns family. They continue to restore the home as close as possible to the original condition.

Happy Holidays

1765

Crawford had explored this land prior to 1765 because on Page 522 of the Fayette County History Book it states, “In that affidavit he (Crawford) says he began his improvements in the Yougheogheny in the fall of 1765; and moved his family to his new home in 1766.” The patent for his land was not issued until 1769. For some reason best known to himself, he did not take it out in his own name but caused it to be issued to his son, John. Again I believe the explanation for this is explained in the “deal with Washington” explained in a future chapter. [21]



One of Connellsville's First Veterans

The first white man in what is now Connellsville was William Crawford. He was a farmer/surveyor/soldier who was a friend of George Washington and had served with him in the Virginia militia. In the fall of 1765, he came over the mountains on horseback with his half-brother Hugh Stephenson. When they saw the beautiful meadow lands in the bend of the Youghiogheny River, Crawford decided to build his home there. The two men surveyed a tract of little over 376 acres and put up a log cabin. The next year, he moved his family into the cabin after a very hazardous trip over the mountains. Hannah, his wife, and their four children, had to follow what was little better than a path that was exceedingly rough and dangerous in

places. As they had just pack-horses to carry their possessions, only the essentials could be brought along.[22]





1765 William Crawford begins improvements on lands in western Pennsylvania. Son James was born to Ann Connell.[23]



“That between that time (1758) and the year 1765, a number of settlements were made on the public roads I that country by permission of several commanding officers at Fort Pitt. That in the fall of the year, he made some improvements on the west side of the Allegheny mountains…”[24]



1765[25]

Lyman Draper obtained statements[26] that are useful to this study. Samuel Murphy was reared in the home of William Crawford’s half-brother, John Stephenson. Samuel Murphy remembered that John Stephenson, William Crawford, and the brothers Lawrence Harrison and Charles Harrison, crossed the mountains at the same time. William Crawford later deposedt[27] that he made homestead improvements on Youghiogheny in 1765, and that he brought his family there in the spring of the following year.[28] [29]

The chief and his clan were, however, impoverished through confiscation and expenditure in the Stuart cause, and in 1765 the little property left to them was purchased by a scion of the house of Macdonald.[30]

December 28, 1776: Under the terms of the treaty, the Mi'kmaq and St. John's Tribes (Maliseet and Passamaquoddy) committed to "supply and furnish 600 strong men...or as many as may be" for service in the Continental Army. Three of the six Mi'kmaq delegates who signed the treaty "manfully and generously" volunteered to enlist immediately. The treaty also notes that their pay would commence upon their arrival at Washington's camp in New York. Tribal forces formed an "American Battalion" in the Battle of Fort Cumberland (November 22-December 28, 1776). They also protected the Maine border and launched other attacks against British installations.[2] Since 1995, the town of Watertown, Massachusetts has held an annual Treaty Day celebration.

Mi'kmaw historian Daniel Paul notes many individual Mi'kmaq did indeed volunteer and serve with the Continental army as per the terms of the Treaty. However the Signators who signed on were representing their Districts only; its part of Mi'kmaq Treaty protocol that each District was Sovereign and could sign Nation to Nation agreements; then they would return home to present the agreements to the Mi'kmaq Grand Council, the Council of Women and finally to all citizens, which if consensus occurred, the newly signed Treaty would be ratified District by District. The Watertown Treaty was never fully ratified by all Mi'kmaq First Nation Districts until modern times. What circumvented this process of coming to consensus and ratifying the Watertown Treaty as a whole in 1776 is unknown. (It is also noteworthy that one Mi'kmaq District—in New Brunswick—was pressured by the British into signing a treaty of alliance with them on 22 September 1779.[3])

The Treaty of Watertown is still honoured today : all Mi'kmaq citizens are allowed to join the US Armed Forces, regardless of the Nation of their birth. These warriors who have gone to Iraq and Afghanistan, and many other places around the world are celebrated.[37]

DECEMBER 28, 1776: We cannot avoid mentioning that we dont think it adviseable to exchange your Hessian Prisoners at this time. We think their Capture affords a favourable opportunity of making them acquainted with the Situation & Circumstances of many of their Country men who came here without a farthing of property & have by care & industry acquired plentifull Fortunes which they have enjoyed in perfect Peace & tranquility until these Invaders have thought proper to disturb & destroy those possessions. It will be proper to seperate the Officers from the Men & to Canton the latter in the back Counties which may be done by the Council of Safety untill the Congress are Consulted thereon. Your Excellency will excuse us for troubling you with our Sentiments on these matters & we think it necessary to appologize for doing so as its probable the whole has occurred to yourself. We remain with perfect regard & Esteem, Your Excellencys most Obedt. & most hble servants, Robt Morris Geo Clymer Geo Walton[38]

December 28, 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[39]

“Fort PITT, December 28, 1777.

“DEAR CRAWFORD :—As I expect the pleasure of seeing you in a few days, I shall defer communicating a matter I much wish to set on foot, until that time.

“There are at Cuyahoga, about one hundred miles from here, a magazine of arms and provisions, sent from Detroit, and fifteen batteaux lie there. You may guess the rest.

“Yours, etc.,

“EDWARD HAND[40].

Zachariah Connell came here a few years later. (Connellsville, after 1770) For a time he lived with the Crawfords on the New Haven side but in 1778 moved over to the Connellsville side, taking up a tract embracing the old borough limits and designated in the survey as "Mud Island." His first cabin stood a short distance from the river banks but he later built a stone house in West Fairview Avenue and reside there until his death in August 13, 1813. His body is buried just east of the city limits, surrounded by graves of a few relatives.[42]



1777 Capt. Robert Vance stated that William Lindsay was with him in the 13th and 9th VA regiments.[43]



1778: It is difficult to say how the bargains between England and the German princes were regarded by public opinion in Germany at the time. Schlozer's Briefwechsel, the foremost German periodical of the period, was published at Gottingen, in the Hanoverian dominions of George III. It contains many articles on the American war, all written on the English side, with the single exception of a letter from Baron Steuben, who was fighting for the colonies. This letter is, moreover, annotated by the editor in a sense adverse to the Americans. This tone may perhaps have been forced upon Schlozer by circumstances, as the press in Germany was then tolerated rather than free. An interesting little book was published at Wolfenbuttel, near Brunswick, in 1778. It gives an account of America, its products, its geography, and its history, together with an excellent map. The author of the book is decidedly hostile to the colonists. The sending of more than seventeen thousand Germans to America is briefly, one might almost say incidentally, mentioned, though the earlier operations of the war and of these auxiliaries are described at some length. Yet the presence of so many Germans in the New World was undoubtedly the principal reason for the book's existence. It is fair, also, to consider that rebellion was in those days looked on with far sterner eyes than at present, and that, by people of a conservative turn of mind, at least, it was treated not as a political mistake, but as a heinous crime.

Quite different was the style in which the liberals of Europe spoke of the war and of the mercenaries. The principles which were to bring about the French Revolution were at work, and some of the actors of that great drama were already stepping upon the stage. Mirabeau, then a fugitive in Holland, published a pamphlet addressed "To the Hessians and other nations of Germany, sold by their Princes to England." It is an eloquent protest against the rapacity of the princes, a splendid tribute to the patriotism of the Americans. The genius of Mirabeau could look far enough into the future to recognize in the North American continent an asylum for the oppressed of all nations. His blow at the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel struck home. Not only did the latter attempt to buy up the edition of the pamphlet, but he caused an answer to be published, which only had the effect of calling forth a rejoinder, in which the future tribune maintains that an offense against the freedom of nations is the greatest of crimes. In the same spirit wrote Abbe Raynal and others, some of them better known in Europe, at that time, than Mirabeau, and against them a paper warfare was kept up in the Dutch journals, then the most influential, because the freest, on the Continent. [44]

December 28, 1778: The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania held a procession in honor of St. John the Evangelist Day[45] –Some three hundred Brethren marched to Christ Church[46] in Philadelphia to ceremonies in which “His Excellency our Illustrious Brother George Washington, Esq.” participated.[47]



As commander of the Revolutionary army, Washington attended the initiations of his officers into the Brotherhood. Inside his field tent the regimental drum became an alter. Upon it were laid the three great signs of Masonry, the Bible, the compass, and the square. Almost half of all the officers in the American Army became Masons. Masonic Jewels were worn like medals. But being a Mason was more than just conections, Pomp and Circumstance. The Brotherhood was a family away from home, whose lives had been uprooted by war. Masonry also provides the hope that if you fall into the hands of the enemy, you get better treatment. [48]

He was not only one of the youngest but also one of the hardest fighters on Quantrill's roster. After the Battle of Baxter Springs while eating supper and drinking whiskey from captured rations, Riley stepped up to one of the dead soldiers and said, 'Get up you S.O.B....and to everyone's surprise rise the man, having feigned death and thinking he had been discovered, stood up before him.

December 28, 1828

The Tennessee legislature again nominated Jackson for President. Jackson attracted Vice President John C. Calhoun, Martin Van Buren, and Thomas Ritchie into his camp (the latter two previous supporters of Crawford). Van Buren, with help from his friends in Philadelphia and Richmond, revived the old Republican Party, gave it a new name as the Democratic Party, "restored party rivalries", and forged a national organization of durability.[18] The Jackson coalition handily defeated Adams in 1828.

During the election, Jackson's opponents referred to him as a "jackass." Jackson liked the name and used the jackass as a symbol for a while, but it died out. However, it later became the symbol for the Democratic Party when cartoonist Thomas Nast popularized it.[19]

The campaign was very much a personal one. Although neither candidate personally campaigned, their political followers organized many campaign events. Both candidates were rhetorically attacked in the press, which reached a low point when the press accused Jackson's wife Rachel of bigamy. Though the accusation was true, as were most personal attacks leveled against him during the campaign, it was based on events that occurred many years prior (1791 to 1794). Jackson said he would forgive those who insulted him, but he would never forgive the ones who attacked his wife. Rachel died suddenly on December 22, 1828, prior to his inauguration, and was buried on Christmas Eve.[55]

December 28, 1846

Iowa joins the Union as the twenty ninth state.[56]



1847 - The telegraph is invented.[57]

1894: In France, the first country to emancipate the Jews, there was an hysterical surge of anti-Semitism when the Jewish officer Alfred Dreyfus was wrongly convicted of treason in 1894. That same year, Karl Lueger, a notable anti-Semite, was elected Mayor of Vienna. Yet in Germany before Adolf Hitler came to power, Jews still imagined that they were safe. [67]



1894: Working independently, bacteriologists Alexandre Yersin and Shibasaburo Kitasato both isolate the bacterium that causes bubonic Plague. Yersin discovers that rodents are the mode of infection. The bacterium is named Yersinia pestis after Yersin.[68]
