My Notes On This Group: The Roman Empire was the first to use troops all over the world they left blood groups ever where they went from Countries of Africa to England: The Roman Empire was one of the VAST spreading Empires in the World to first use troops of other Countries it conquered. The use of using other troops from Conquered Countries spread with each developing Empire.

Teal is being used for Quaker dates, these are not the same as the Julian Calender for all the other information, these need to be transcribed to be used in a Julian Calender.
Quaker dates have not been translated Before the 1752 calendar change, the first month of the year was March. From: Mary E. Stewart
In 1752 the new year began to be counted from Jan 1. Before that it ran from March 26-March 25, Julian Calender changed. So a date in July 1750 would be earlier in the same "year" as one in Feb 1750 (which once 1752 rolled around, would be thought of as the next year). From: Barbara Schenck

1776-1883 ERA GIDEON JOHNSON Served From Anson Co NC
On this 2nd day of October 1832 personally appeared in open Court before the Worshipful Wright Stanley Joseph Crockett and Jabez Owen and George Shannon Esquires composing the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions of Williamson County now sitting at Franklin, Tennessee, Giddeon [sic] Johnson aged seventy eight years 7th November 1832 who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of an Act of Congress passed
June 7th, 1832.
That I enlisted in the army of the United States some time in the last of the month of July 1776 for the term of twelve months under Capt. John Armstrong from Surry County, Lieutenant Joseph Tate from Guilford County in North Carolina. I resided in Guilford County N.C. at that time and joined the army in the County at a place called Spring Garden. Capt. Armstrong's company joined the Second Regiment of the Continental line at Salisbury shortly after my enlistment, as well as I can recollect, which regiment was commanded by Col. Alexander Martin. We lay at Salisbury about three months
when we marched thence to a place near Hollisworth [sic, Hollingsworth?] mills on Duncan's Creek which I think is a branch of the Catawba River. Receiving information that there was a body of Tories collected either on Rabin's Creek or Duncan's Creek about fifteen miles distant. We were marched thither in the night and surrounded them near day break when we were fired on by their sentinels and our men closed in upon them and took, as was reported, 100 prisoners whom we marked to headquarters on Duncan's Creek where we guarded them two days when they were sent to Charlestown
[sic, Charleston], South Carolina. Shortly after that we rendezvoused at Salisbury, I going by home by furlow [sic, furlough] whence I, in the company of Capt. Samuel Martin who had recruited a company of 50 men with some delinquents, marched to Charleston, S.C., where we joined the main army the latter part of the summer 1777. I in the meantime having been employed in assisting Capt. Samuel Martin in recruiting men, he being a recruiting officer of the U.S. army, and in scouting after the Tories
in N.C. On account of the sickness of the troops in Charleston we left that place, where I took sick, and was hauled to Campden [sic, Camden] in a wagon, where we lay 8 or 10 days. From that place the army marched towards Salisbury, N.C., and I being too sick to travel further was left at the Widow Sutton's on Seven Mile Creek under the care of Sergeant Reuben Curtis. At the end of ten days I went to Charlotte, N.C., where I met with Capt. Samuel Martin with whom I traveled to Salisbury where I arrived about the last of October 1777 where I think I received a discharge signed by Col. Alexander
Martin, which I have lost not thinking it would ever be important to me.
Some years after this when Col. Alexander Martin was chosen Governor of North Carolina, the year I cannot recollect, it being necessary for him to have a life guard, I was chosen by him as one of his life guard and became such in Guilford County and marched with him thence to a place called Nutbush in Granville County where we, after remaining some time, were dismissed and returned home after an absence of about four weeks. Captain Josiah Gates commanded this company of Life Guards. It was represented to us when acting as his guard that that tour should answer as a three months' tour but
whether I got a discharge for the same I do not now recollect.
In Dec. 1778 or winter of 1779, I carried an express from Col. James Martin of the County of Guilford to the western part of the state into Birk [sic, Burke], Burkum [sic, Buncombe], and Wilks [sic, Wilkes] counties and delivered the same to Col. and Maj. Ervin, Col. and Maj. McDowell and to Mr. Greenlea of Buncombe County. In this expedition I underwent much hardship on account of inclement weather and high waters and returned home after having been absent about four weeks.
I was born, as I have been informed by my father, in Amelia County, Virginia, on the 7th day of November 1754. I have a record of my age now with me which I got from my father and in his own handwriting. I lived in Guilford County, North Carolina, when I was called into service. Sometime after the Revolutionary War the County of Rockingham was taken off the north part of Guilford, in Rockingham I resided until 1819, when I removed to Davidson County, Tennessee, where I resided till
the year 1826 when I removed to Williamson County, where I have ever since resided.
I know of no person, except Abner Johnson1 and John W. Crunk, by whom I can prove my services personally, all my other companions in arms whom I have known in this country having departed this life. Neither have I any documentary evidence by which I can prove any said services.
I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declare that my name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.

Sworn to in open Court 2nd October 1832
S/ Thos. Hardeman, Clk.
State of Tennessee, Williamson County: Circuit Court January Term 1840
On this twenty second day of January 1840 personally appeared in open Court before the
Circuit Court of Davidson County now sitting, Gideon Johnson a resident of Davidson County and State of Tennessee; aged eighty six years, who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress passed June 7th, 1832. That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers; and served as herein stated.
He entered the service in the month of June 1775, he thinks in the 7th Regiment of the
Continental line of North Carolina as a regular soldier under the command of Colonel Alexander Martin, in which there were four companies;
First company commanded by Captain John Davidson of Rowan County,
Second company and to which defendant belonged, commanded by Captain John Armstrong of Surry County,
Third company commanded by Captain __ [blank in original] Picket of Anson County,
Fourth company commanded by Captain John Bell of Guilford County, which four companies composed said Regiment.
Defendant states that he first turned out as a volunteer under Lieutenant Joseph Tate; who was Lieutenant under his Captain, John Armstrong, at Spring Garden, Guilford County, North Carolina, for a term of (he thinks) twelve months; rendezvoused in the latter end of the same month at Salisbury and (he thinks) left Salisbury in September following. While at Salisbury a dissatisfaction arose amongst the troops and a second enlistment became necessary and was proposed by Colonel Alexander Martin for a term of eighteen months for which time said defendant volunteered, he thinks about the last of July or first of August 1775.
The troops when leaving Salisbury were ordered south; kept headquarters at Hollingsworth's Mills on Enoree River about four weeks after which the troops were ordered south on a meandering route to the Hickory Camps, he thinks, near the borders of South Carolina. From thence he thinks in the month of January following; they were informed there was a company of Tories collected on Duncan's Creek, to which place the troops were ordered and marched under the guidance of our informants. On
our arrival at said Duncan's Creek we had a small skirmish with the Tories – they fled, save 300 prisoners we took and marched back to Hickory Camp, guarded them there two days and nights, thence they were sent to Charleston, South Carolina, under a guard of militia. From Hickory Camp we marched south in the direction of Ninety Six through the country watered by Tiger [sic, Tyger] river, Congaree, Wateree [River] &c, falling down below Ninety Six. There we bent towards Bell's Mills on Deep river in the direction of Fayetteville in North Carolina; thence we returned to Salisbury where we
stayed five or six weeks, and where many of the troops were furloughed for a small space of time.
We were from there marched to Charleston, through the swamps of Santee River, and arrived at Charleston some time in August just in time to see the British embark, when they evacuated Charleston or Sullivan's Island, near Charleston, where we continued until (I think) the latter end of October following, occupying the old British Barracks, from which place we were then ordered to march in consequence of the bad health of the troops, of whom many had died. On our first or second days marched at night going towards Camden on Goose Creek, deponent for the first time was taken sick
and put in a waggon, he thinks, about twenty miles from Charleston; and hauled from there to Camden, he thinks, 130 or 140 miles – there in consequence of sickness of the troops we lay about three weeks, some two or three men died there. From there we marched to Seven Mile Creek at Widow Suttle's. Deponent was given out for dead and left in the care of Sergeant Reuben Curtis for an attendant. Deponent thinks he lay here about three weeks, from whence defendant started alone, leaving his gun,
shot bag, and belt, not being able to carry them, has never heard of them since. He pursued the army alone (having left Sergeant Curtis sick) to Charlotte in North Carolina; where he stayed with Samuel Martin, about two weeks. From thence by the assistance of the said Samuel Martin, he went to Salisbury, where he joined the remaining fragment of his Regiment, he thinks, some time in the month of November 1776. After remaining at Salisbury a short time defendant, by permission of Colonel Alexander Martin, left for his home in Guilford County, being very weak; arrived there he thinks in November; near the latter end. He afterward saw Colonel Martin who gave him a discharge, his term of
eighteen months being ended.
Some time in the month of January or February in the year 1777 or 1778 declarant was engaged by Colonel James Martin of the Militia of the County of Guilford to bear some expresses, he thinks to Joseph and Charles McDowell living in Wilkes County, North Carolina, both bearing commissions in the United States service, and to Major Alexander Erwin and Major Green Lee living he thinks in Burke County and state aforesaid, for which service Colonel James Martin gave him a discharge for a
term of three months served as a militiaman.
Deponent thinks in the month of May, June, or July 1779 he again volunteered as a life guard to Colonel Alexander Martin, to guard and convey him to Wilmington, he being appointed Governor of the State of North Carolina to fill the place of __ [blank in original] Governor3 who was taken prisoner by the British; in consequence of some express which Col. A. Martin met, we did not escort him quite to Wilmington. Josiah Gates being Captain we marched back to Guilford, for which service declarant
got from (he thinks) Colonel Martin a certificate for a three month term of service as a militiaman.
Deponent further states that he was at home plowing in his field, when he heard the firing of the cannon and plattoons at the battle of Guilford on the 15th of March, he thinks, 1781 or 1782. He immediately took out his horses, seized his gun and hastened hither, though not at that time in service himself he had a substitute (Elise Curray). He met the baggage waggons near Guilford making their way to a safe place out on Dan River. He turned around and led them on till he knew they could not mistake the way. He then hastened to the place of action and joined his country men in that engagement. It having nearly ended, reconnoitered and assisted in burying &c for about nine days. This
service was voluntary for which deponent has no receipt; nor did he expect, demand or wish any.
Deponent had been previous to this summoned as a guard to the Legislature at Salem in North Carolina in which service he was engaged about three or four weeks. The receipt from Colonel James Martin and the lost receipt from Colonel A. Martin making in all a term of two years service. He viewed said documents as being of entirely useless to him and he thinks he destroyed the same in the year 1819 when he left Carolina to remove to Tennessee in Davidson County where he now lives and has lived ever since.
Deponent further states that his name is already on a pension roll of the agency of the State of Tennessee, was placed there on the 20th day of August 1833 and receives a pension of fifty dollars payable semiannually; that said pension is not proportionate to his term of Revolutionary services for the want of living testimony to the facts herein before stated. That he has since making application before found living witnesses of whom he did not know, which accompanies this declaration. Many
things have also come to his own recollection since, which are true and not named in his former declaration.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and he declares that his name is listed on the pension roll of an agency of the state of Tennessee in the amount
stated above. S/ Gideon Johnson

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – A miscalculation at UNCW led to a $3 million shortfall during its fall semester because students who were enrolled in the college didn't take as many classes as the university anticipated.
According to the chancellor's Chief of Staff Max Allen, the school enrolled enough students last fall, but those students (specifically at the graduate level) elected not to take as many credit hours as projected.
With credit hours down, tuition coming into the university was also down by a little more than $3 million. Allen says the university's overall budget is more than $50 million, and that it's rare that UNCW is off by that much, but described enrollment planning as a delicate balance.
"In our case, what happened was graduate students just didn't take as many classes, and so because of that, we had to make that difference up in the spring semester," he said. "So right now, we made up those differences, and everything is going fine."
According to Allen, credit hours are down for grad students are down nationwide due to the economy.
"Bottom line, it was about graduate students needing to work because of income and those kinds of things, and not necessarily taking enough classes for the university's standpoint," said Allen. "But for their own standpoint, they needed to do what they needed to do to pay their bills and make ends meet."
The university didn't have to make any cuts as a result of the miscalculation, and Allen says it had very little impact on students.
In the spring, the college took in more students at graduate and undergraduate level to offset the shortfall.
Allen says a taskforce was put together as a result of the error, and the group is expected to report to the chancellor in a few weeks on ways to improve this process to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Activision's blockbuster shooter is back - but what does the gaming press think?
It's here! Call of Duty: Black Ops II, arguably the biggest game of the year, launched this morning across the globe. Following last night's star-studded London launch party, fans have been queueing up around the UK to get their hands on the latest entry in the best-selling shooter series. But will that enthusiasm be rewarded by the game itself?
We've poured through the countless reviews hitting the web today to find out exactly what gaming's biggest sites think of this newest Call of Duty entry. Check out our round-up and don't forget to tell us what YOU think of Black Ops II in the comments below.
Single-player campaign
It might not be the meat of a Call of Duty game anymore - what with the amazing popularity of the game's multiplayer component - but there are still high expectations for the series' single-player campaign. This time around, Treyarch has mixed things up a bit with a renewed focus on storytelling (spanning two distinct eras - the 1980s and 2025), branching story lines that change based on your decisions, plus brand-new strategy-styled Strike Force missions. But what does everyone think?
IGN (awarding the game 9.3) praised the strength of the single-player campaign's writing, particularly in its portrayal of villain Raul Menendez and his motivations, while the Metro (giving the game 8/10) described the action as "pure James Bond". Others weren't quite so convinced, however, with Joystiq (4/5) criticising the story's predictable twists, poor characterisation and "by-the-numbers, action-movie storytelling" - a sentiment supported by OXM (8/10) who bemoaned the campaign's lack of emotional impact.
Single-player missions themselves also appear to be a bit of a mixed bag, with Joystiq noting that, while the campaign has its moments - like a thrilling horseback battle in Afghanistan - Black Ops II "mostly falls flat". OXM noted the wavering mission quality too, citing inconsistent design and production values as the number one cause for the campaign's wobbles.
Newly introduced Strike Force missions - sort of strategic mini-game interludes - seem to be the biggest campaign let-down, with many journalists highlighting insane difficulty levels, shoddy AI and a poorly-implemented interface as reasons to be less then cheerful.
Thankfully, developer Treyarch's decision to offer branching missions throughout the single-player mode has been much more positively received. Metro described the new system as being more nuanced than meets the eye, while the likes of IGN applauded the game's replay value, given that failing or completing objectives can radically alter the trajectory of the game, even leading to multiple endings.
Still, despite IGN's assertion that Black Ops II's single-player campaign offered the same intense, precise shooting action of previous series entries, OXM seemed to sum up most people's thoughts when it called it an "erratic and ultimately underwhelming campaign that, while never awful, just can't match the series highs".
Of course, multiplayer is where it's truly at in Call of Duty and Black Ops II appears to have struck gold here. OXM described the game's online offering as the best Call of Duty multiplayer since 2007. Joystiq agreed, calling it "some of the best multiplayer design the series has seen in years".
So what makes it so special? Well, everything it would seem - with universal praise being given to the game's action, exemplary map design and wholly reimagined load-out system. OXM, for instance, noted that maps are now "far more grounded, and less open to exploits", making for a multiplayer game that's far more accessible when compared to previous offerings.
The Metro, meanwhile, also dug Black Ops II's new map roster, highlighting the game's ability to reward new strategies of play - thanks to an overhauled score streaks system - as you do battle around locations as diverse as a highjacked yacht and an active bullet train station.
There's been equal praise too for the new ten-point loud-out system, offering huge customisation options as you spend those precious points on the perks and gear of your choosing. OXM was particularly impressed, noting that it's a system that should thrill Call of Duty pros in particular, enabling them to go to extremes with their play style.
What else? Joystiq loved the multiplayer mode's occasionally ridiculous future-inspired new weaponry, tipping its hat to the Guardian, capable of microwaving enemies in an instant. Then there's the new League Play mode, which OXM called "an exciting new addition", while Gamespot (awarding the game 8/10) described it as "really shaking things up". According to Gamespot, it's strange at first, with everything unlocked from the start, but that gives League Play games a pure, renewed focus on action which is utterly liberating.
Gaming sites also praised Call of Duty's new social tools - including CODcasting and live YouTube streaming - as having great potential, even if options are limited at launch.
A quick word on the return of Call of Duty's multiplayer undead slaughter shop - Black Ops II's big fat zombies mode. And by big, we mean BIG - so large, in fact, that many have commented it could be a separate game in its own right. This time around, classic zombie Survival is joined by Tranzit mode and Grief, adding a touch of variety to the game's familiar wave-battling action.
There's a whole heap of open world to uncover now too - including classic zombie movie locations such as gas stations, stores and farmhouses - and the scope is simply dazzling. The Metro loved the excitement of exploration, scavenging for items to craft into new weapons, but described the whole endeavour as "poorly paced".
Joystiq wasn't much more enamoured either, noting that zombie mode is still as impenetrable, unforgiving and frustrating as ever - particularly for newcomers. Gamespot agreed, noting that Call of Duty's undead component is beginning to stagnate - despite this beefier offering.
Summing up
So are Call of Duty: Black Ops II's ambitious-but-flawed single-player campaign and disappointing zombie mode the game's undoing, or does Treyarch's sterling work in the multiplayer department make up for all those shortcomings? Ultimately, it seems that the positives won out, with Gamespot concluding that "by reaching forward while remaining rooted in the things it does so well, Black Ops II offers a great shooter experience".
Joystiq was also swayed by the game's eagerness to innovate, signing off by saying that while it "isn't the best or most charming entry in the franchise [...] it takes risks, exploring more than is strictly required for an inevitably annual franchise". If it's unequivocal acclaim you're after though, we leave you with the thoughts of IGN who described the game as "the most ambitious and exciting Call of Duty ever made".
So, that's what the critics think. Now, it's your turn in the comments below....
Calling all FIFA 12 players! It's time to test your skills at this year's annual World Cyber Games.
Fancy yourself as a bit of a FIFA 12 player? Think you could be the best in the world?
This week, just head down to the Samsung stand at the Eurogamer Expo event at Earl's Court and you might just qualify for a slot in the world's largest e-sports festival. Players across the world have been battling it out across five official games in the attempt to win the ultimate prize –$250k. Champions have already been selected for Cross Fire, DOTA 2, FIFA 12, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty and WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne™ - now it's the turn of FIFA players to give it their best shot.
Now in it's 12th year, the four day final for the World Cyber Games will be held in Kunshan, China and feature 450 gamers across 40 nations, 1300 tournament matches, attract over 40,000 visitors with 36 million people watching the event in real time.
Samsung has been the official sponsor of the Games since they began in 2000 and they've certainly been beefing up their association with gaming over the last year. September saw the release of the Series 7 Gamer laptop, a formidable piece of kit that has already been viewed as one the top performers in it's class.
And if you've never heard of the WCGs then that could all change very soon. Although South Korea are really at the forefront of the E-Sports scene (they have TV channels just for gaming!), America is catching them up though with the likes of MLG holding massive gaming events. It's only a matter of time before Europe will be next in line.
As for all you FIFA 12 players out there: Good luck and may the odds forever be ever in your favour.
Apple has finally taken the plunge and joined the battle for your wrist with its own smartwatch.

Coke and Pepsi execs expressed measured satisfaction Monday about the mergers with their big North American bottlers, AJC staffer Jeremiah McWilliams reports.
PepsiCo bought its two largest North American bottlers in February, and Coca-Cola acquired the North American wing of Atlanta-based bottler Coca-Cola Enterprises in October. Both deals were worth billions of dollars and required executives to mesh massive organizations.
At a Beverage Digest conference in Manhattan, PepsiCo chief executive Indra Nooyi said the integration has been done fairly well, McWilliams reports. PepsiCo aims to achieve $400 million in pre-tax savings from the bottling acquisitions by 2012.
But "if I said the integration was going swimmingly well, I'd be lying," Nooyi said Monday. "It's a challenging integration."
In a later presentation, Sandy Douglas, president of Coke North America, said the merged company is "off to a good start," six weeks into Coke's new ownership of a vast U.S. bottling network, McWilliams writes.

Best wishes to both. Hopefully they'll show some compassion when they start laying off. Stock in either should be attractive. And both are offering healthier, more nutritious fare. Win, win.

Here's the challenge for Sandy Douglas and Coca-Cola…in Publix (in Atlanta) a two liter bottle of Coca-Cola is $1.79. A two liter bottle of Publix Cola is $.79. Now, Mr. Douglas would argue that Coke is a premium product and demands a premium price but in this economy where moms and dads are stretching their dollars it's hard to justify a dollars worth of premium for their kids to slug down with pizza. Coke's challenge is to bring that premium margin down to be a little closer to Publix (and other competitors) and thus be more attractive to moms and dads.

The difference in the price is not quality, it's advertising.
