discovered your web page. I am great great grandson of father Schoonover, which appears to be the same Joseph J. Schoonover you have. The dates, places etc. match exactly. I have some of the decendents if you want them. I was so delighted to find your information. It is so nice of you to go to all this work. I have original pictures, obituaries and letters written by J. Schoonover and others.

!Charlemagne began his career as King of the Franks but ended it as Emperor of the entire Roman Empire of the West. As king of France, he gained victory over the Lombards of Italy, the Saxons of Northwestern Germany, and a number of other neighbors. He followed a policy of friendship and cooperation with the Roman Catholic Church and was crowned emperor by the pope on Christmas Day of 800. Charlemagne's views were liberal and enlightened. Although he reigned supreme, he recognized civil reights for his subjects and a limitation on monarchic power. He possessed an unusual amount of learning and vigorously promoted education. He invited learned men to his court and established a Palace School where noble's sons and clergy were educated. His great dream was the union of all the nations he had conquered into one great empire where the power and learning of Rome could be united with the religion of Christ. His motivation for war seemed to be the converstion of the heathens to Christianity. His last words were, "Now, Lord, into thy hand I commit my spirit."

His motivation for war seemed to be the converstion of the heathens to Christianity. He is considered the greatest figure of the Dark ages. He died after four years of failing health, from an attack of plurisy.His last words were, "Now, Lord, into thy hand I commit my spirit." He nominated Louis the Pious as his successor in the empire, at the same time assigning Italy to Bernhard the son of Pippin.

!Colonial and Revolutionary Lineages of America (973 D2ah) Vol. 2 In the early part of his reign, invaded Northern Italy, putting an end to the Lombard kingdom. From 774 to 799 he was at war with the Saxons, at that time a heathen race east of the Rhine. In 785, Widukind, Saxon leader, submitted and was baptized a Christian, but resistance continued in the outlying portions of the region. Bavaria was next annexed and this brought Charlemagne in conflict with the Avars whose Khan became a Christian in 805. Expeditions were also sent against the Arabs of North Spain. In 800, while in Rome, Charlemagne was crowned Emperor by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day, thus reviving the Roman Empire. After a naval war in the Adriatic, in which he surrendered some disputed territory, Charlemagne was saluted by the Greek envoys as Basileus, the equality of the two empires being thus recognized. The reign of Charlemagne witnessed a revival of arts and letters, a revision of Frankish law and the writing of the laws of Saxons, Thuringians, and Frisians.
