| 2155 | Solomon Etting was born in York, Pennsylvania, on 28 July 1764, the son of Elijah and Shinah (Solomon) Etting. Solomon Etting married Rachel, daughter of Joseph Simon of Lancaster. There he engaged in business with his wealthy father-in-law as a partner under the name of Simon and Etting. In Lancaster, Etting played an important role in Masonic affairs. After the death of his wife in 1790, he moved to Philadelphia and finally to Baltimore where he married again. The second wife was Rachel Gratz, daughter of Barnard Gratz. Etting was one of the imcorporators of the Baltimore Water Company and a member of the Committee of Vigilance and Safety organized 23 August 1814. In 1826 he was a member of the City Council with Benjamin I. Cohen. He and Mr. Cohen were the first Jews to hold office in the State of Maryland. Etting was also one of the founders of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. He had some correspondence with the inventor Robert Fulton, who was also an artist, regarding the construction of steam vessels of war. He died in Baltimore in 1847. The miniature of Solomon Etting is by an unknown artist, and in 1953 was at the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore. It is a water colour on paper. He is showed wearing a blue suit. His grayish-brown hair is puffed at the top of his head, and he has a ruddy complexion. The neckcloth, how, and pleated ruffle, as well as the frame, are almost identical with another miniature of him by Benjamin Trott, which is in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. The miniature of Solomon's second wife, Rachel (Gratz) Etting, is also by an unknown artist, and in 1953 was also at the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore. She is shown wearing a white dress, loosely frilled along the colar line. Noticeable are her large blue eyes, set far apart, and arched brows. She has a fair complexion, a well-shaped long nose, small mouth and long full chin. Her light brown hair, curling to the shoulders, is fluffed over the middle of her forehead. Source: Hannah R.

|
| 2173 | Stern shows Jacob as the son of his second wife Sarah Rivera. However, Jacob was born in March 1762, two months before Abigail Lopez (Aaron's first wife) died (14 May 1762). Jacob died in September 1762, a few months before Aaron remarried to Sarah Rivera. | Lopez, Jacob (I2105)
|
| 2174 | Stern shows Sarah's date of birth as circa 1780. Since her child, Isaac, was born in 1792, I brought the date forward to circa 1776. Sarah's daughter, Lavinia, had her children between 1855 and 1861: I therefore estimated Lavinia's date of birth at 1817. This would make Sarah 41 when Lavinia was born, and Lavinia 44 when her last child was born. | Lopez, Sarah Esther (I2523)

| 2181 | Sussman Rosenbaum was a very well-to-do velvet and sateen merchant. His LARGE house became a pension after if passed from the family --- it was known as Haus Rosenbaum. He was very orthodox and very strict re law of Kosher and other restrictions and observances. Only his two sons, Simon and Samuel, are known, although he reportedly came from a "large family". His Hebrew name may have been Moses. A grave marker with this name and these birth/death dates was found in the Pyrmont Jewish Cemetery by Ned Rosenbaum...he said there was a Hebrew inscription on the other side of the marker, but he couldn't reach it. But the stone had been vandalized, and he surmised (as the dates would have been correct for Sussman) that the stone marked the head of the Bad Pyrmont clan's final resting place. | Rosenbaum, Susman (I4789)

|
| 2186 | The following has been extracted from Geoffrey Pinto's contribution to The Moon 2005, on the topic of historical family memoirs from Jamaica. Early in 1848 Eliza deSola, daughter of David Aaron and Rebecca (Meldola) deSola, travelled from England to Jamaica to get married. She travelled on a sailing ship. Her departure was delayed because her chaperone became ill, and eventually Eliza sailed under the personal protection of the ship's captain. When they arrived in Jamaican waters, Eliza was delayed once again. The ship was not allowed to land as the town was in quarantine for yellow fever. When it came to the wedding day itself (19 March 1848) Eliza was unable to wear her heavy brocaded wedding dress as it was too hot. She wore instead 'a light summer dress'. Geoffrey Pinto continued: "All this information came to me as if it was direct from the good lady herself; this is because I was lucky enough to get it first hand from her grand-daughter Elise (Mendes/Tucker) Lightstone, who was brought up by Eliza. Cousin Elise, who was then in her 80's and lived with her daughter Lily Hockman in Montreal, was a charming French lady who had spent most of her life in Paris. Here she had the most terrible times during the war. But she had been brought up by her grandmother Eliza Mendes, so had all these Montego Bay stories first hand with her marvelous memory. "Meeting Elise was a wonderful and warm experience and it is the only time in my life that I have deliberately missed my plane home (to MoBay). I know that Brahm, who was kindly taking me to the airport, enjoyed this special occasion too. "The wedding was in the new Montego Synagogue on the corner of King and Market Streets with three churches on the other corners. It was certainly one of the first weddings held there and the bridegroom was Abraham Pereira Mendes, its Hazan, born Kingston in 1825. He had studied in London under his future father-in-law Hazan deSola. In 1851, after giving Montego Bay a try, they decided to return to London as Eliza could not keep her health in this tropical climate. Apparently she felt the heat terrribly but in spite of this went on to have no less than 14 children (I have identified only 12 children). One was lost during the Montego Bay years. They went on to Britain where Abraham became the Minister in Birmingham and later they started the famous Northwick College in Maida Vale in London, where many of our family were first educated including, some years later, my father Ralph Pinto, who lived round the corner. "Now my most intriguing historic touch - for me anyhow. The handwritten Record Book of The Montego Bay Synagogue, House of Jacob, records the betrothal of Abraham Pereira Mendes to Eliza deSola in March 1848, and there were two members of the Montego Bay Hart family (ancestors of Geoffrey Pinto's wife, Patricia Anne Hart) who were witnesses. I am so pleased about that, for this was the wedding of my great grandmother's sister. My great grandmother, Rosetta (deSola) Pinto, was one of Eliza's older sisters." In the rest of this article, Geoffrey refers to this wedding of Abraham Pereira Mendes to Eliza deSola as being the first of (so far) five family weddings to take place in Jamaica. After Abraham and Eliza were the weddings of Geoffrey Pinto to Patricia Hart in 1956, Kathryn Pinto to Frank May in 1988, Lisa Elkin to Joseph Clement in 1999, and David Pinto to Davina Soleyman in 2001. The 6th wedding between Shalom Elkin and Susana Chandroga is scheduled for April 2005. Source: Geoffrey Pinto, in the 2005 edition of The Moon | de Sola, Eliza Meldola (I3685)

| 2190 | The rather sad love story of Judah Toura and Catherine Hays is told in the notes for Catherine. Hailing as he did from one of the earliest and most prominent Sephardic Jewish families to settle in America, Judah had an ingrained commitment to family and community. He was born in Newport on the same day as the Battle of Bunker Hill. Judah's father, Isaac, died when he was eight and his uncle, Moses Michael Hays, made a home for Judah's widowed mother and her three children. They were raised in Boston. Judah's formative years in the Hays household included his cousin Catherine and their Irish servant girl, Excy Gill. Moses Hays raised his children, nephews and niece as practicing Jews even though theirs was the only Jewish family in all of Boston at the time. The Hays' Boston home also included close association with Thomas Paine, Paul Revere, and future abolitionist leader, Samuel J. May. It is written that the Hays and Touro children were raised in an atmosphere of tolerance and breadth of view. Judah and Catherine would carry this humanitarian view for all their lives. After his uncle's refusal to allow him to marry Catherine, Touro left Boston in 1801 to seek his fortune in New Orleans. He was one of the first Jewish residents and quickly established shipping and trading businesses. Despising the presence of the country's most active slave institutions, Judah would frequently purchase slaves for the sole purpose of freeing them. Judah Touro established the only hospital in the Ante-bellum South to treat slaves and free blacks, together with whites. Touro Infirmary still stands today as one of the leading hospitals in the South. Touro's dedication to the well being of slaves extended to his personal life. He provided for the housing and financial interests of a free woman of colour, Ellen Wilson, for most of her life. Judah demonstrated his commitment to family and community not only through his life's works, but also in his bequests in his will to devoted family members, social service organizations and to the preservation of his Jewish culture. In his 1854 will, he set new philanthropic standards, including contribution to aid poor Jews in Palestine. During Judah's final illness, which culminated in his death on 18 January 1854, he was unaware of Catherine's final illness and death just 16 days before his own. Similarly, Catherine was unaware of Judah's illness. They were buried next to each other in the Hebrew Cemetery in Newport Rhode Island.

| 2192 | The story is that she was Napoleon's translator during his Austrian campaign. He gave her a large emerald, which "Mike" (Sylvan) claimed in 1986 to have "seen before Aunt Carrie lost it. She was a legatee in his will. "Groma" [Caroline's daughter-in-law] ultimately got a few thousand." Caroline's birth and death dates are unknown. However, the Napoleonic Austrian campaign was in 1809. Her sons were born in 1832 and 1840. Assuming she had the first one as late as age 40, she would have been only about 17 in 1809. So, the "folklore" doesn't seem to ring true. | Bermann, Caroline (I4790)
