| 1451 | David G. Seixas, 1788-March 19, 1864. Son of Gershom Mendes Seixas. Born in New York, David G. Seixas moved to Philadelphia where by 1811 he owned a small crockery store. When English imports of crockery were banned during the War of 1812, David G. Seixas manufactured crockery and has been credited as father of this art in the U.S. He also served in the military during the War of 1812. In 1819, he began bringing deaf children into his home to care and teach them. In May 1820, he established the Deaf and Dumb Institute in Philadelphia and served as the Principal until he retired in 1821. He established a brewery in New York in 1834, and in 1840 he was among the first to introduce daguerreotypes in the United States. He also discovered ways of burning anthracite coal, and manufactured sealing wax, printer's ink, and enamel-surfaced visiting cards. He joined his brother Theodore J. Seixas in South Bend, Indiana, where he died unmarried. Anne Joseph: David Seixas, the oldest son of Hannah Judah Manuel and Gershom Mendes Seixas, was a pioneer educator of the deaf. He founded the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf, which still serves the public. Seixas was driven from the school after accusations of child abuse that seem contrived. Instead of marrying and having a family, David devoted his energies as a merchant, manufacturer, and inventor to improving the quality of life around him. In 1811, David Seixas became an agent in Philadelphia for Harmon Hendricks (a pioneer in the American copper business), then served in the War of 1812. Seixas was a successful pioneer manufacturer of English-style crockery and is credited with producing a better sealing wax, inexpensive printer's ink, and laminated visiting cards. John Carlin, painter of Seixas's portrait, was himself a graduate of the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf. Source: Loeb Portrait Database - painting and bio | Seixas, David G. (I3926)

| 1452 | David Hays birth date (according to Malcolm Stern) is 19 February 1732, but for some reason FTM refuses to accept this date. Hence the family group sheet shows simply 1732. David Hays was a farmer, and a member of Shearith Israel in New York. Records indicate that he left in his estate one bay horse, one colt, eight cows, one bull, one yoke of oxen, one heifer, one fat steer, three calves, ten sheep, fourteen hogs, half a field of rye, one and a half fields of corn, one field of wheat, and all the other paraphernalia of a farm. David Hays' grave in the St. James Place (Chatham Square) Cemetery in New York is one of those decorated on Memorial Day, since he is counted among the soldiers and patriots of the American Revolution. He is described in the records as "Merchant. Born in New Rochelle, N.Y., in March 1732, son of Jacob Hays. Associator. His house and store were destroyed by Tories in July 1779, while he was away in Long Island with colonial troops. He also served in the New York Militia at Braddock's Field in the French and Indian War. Died at Mount Pleasant, N.Y ., October 18, 1812."

| 1453 | David Pereira Mendes' father may have been Samuel Pereira Mendes, who apparently became a Jamaican national in February 1749. If this is so, it makes one wonder whether the young eight or nine year old David was also in Jamaica at that time, but there does not appear to be any proof of this one way or the other. This particular Samuel's wife's name is thought to have been Leah, who is reported by Stern to have died in Kingston, Jamaica in November 1796. There is no tombstone inscription to support this, but such lack does not necessarily preclude the possibility. | Mendes, Samuel Pereira (I2076)

| 1454 | David Solis Hays was for many years treasurer of the College of Pharmacy of the City of New York.

He was born in the city, October 14, 1772, and received a thorough business education. He engaged in mercantile employments, and in 1812 entered the army, rendering efficient service. He was afterward appointed to a place in the Custom House which he held almost forty years. He was also the publisher of the Evening Star, edited by Major Noah, for several years. He was serious religionist, of the orthordox [sic] persuasion, and sustained his profession with much persistency. --Ex." | Phillips, Naphtali (I2116)

| 1500 | Emigrated from Pyrmont, Waldeck Germany (near Hamburg)to Kalamazoo, Michigan, in 1855 to work for his cousin, Mannes Israel, in M. Israel Dry Goods...a large variety store that Mannes Israel owned and operated there. The business was dissolved 1 February 1890, when "Joseph dropped out" (?); it went on as Rosenbaum & Speyer. The "Rosenbaum" was Simon; the Speyers, Joseph and Sigmund. It is not known what brought Mannes Israel to Kalamazoo in 1844(?), but he was definitely an EARLY settler...,"the first Jew to arrive in Kalamazoo". Mannes was much admired and loved by the Rosenbaums (a "first cousin" of Simon and Samuel, ,although precise nature of the relationship is not established.) Simon married Rieckchen Romberg of Berlin, Prussia, and had one daughter, Emma. ====================================================================== == Database: Full Context of Michigan Biographies, 1878 American Biographical History of Eminent and Self-Made Men with Portrait Illustrations on Steel, Volumes I-II Name: Simon Rosenbaum Dry-Goods Merchant, Kalamazoo, Michigan, is a son of Susman and Caroline (Bermann) Rosenbaum. He was born in Pyrmont, Waldeck, Germany, April 13, 1832. His early educational advantages were confined to the common schools of his native place. After leaving school, where he was distinguished for his rapid progress in learning, he continued his self-education by careful study of German literature, devoting his attention to the works of its most eminent authors, with an interest bordering on enthusiasm. At the age of fourteen, he entered the dry-goods store of his father, in which he continued, as clerk, for nine years; and, by his untiring industry, contributed greatly to its financial success. At the end of this time, he received from a friend an urgent invitation to come to America, where be arrived in 1855, and found a situation awaiting him in the dry-goods store of Mr. Israel, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Here, by his business talent, energy, and fidelity, he soon won for himself the confidence and friendship of his employer. In 1865 he was admitted as a partner; and, at the death of Mr. Israel, in 1868, took the entire charge of the business. He has conducted it ever since, giving, by his untiring zeal and sterling integrity, full satisfaction to all. He is noted for the salutary influence he exerts upon the young men in his employment. He is frugal in his habits, strict towards himself, but lenient in his judgment of others. He has been several times to Europe, and has visited all the important cities on this continent. He worships with the Israelites, but evinces no prejudice towards those of a different faith. Since he became a citizen of the United States, he has always voted with the Republican party. He married, February 27, 1865, Rieckchen Romberg, a lady of superior intellectual culture, having received her education in the most celebrated schools of Berlin, Prussia. They have one child,--a daughter. Mr. Rosenbaum is unassuming in his manners, and shrinks from parade of any kind. The late financial depression has left him unharmed, and he is now in a more prosperous condition than ever before.
