  • Notes 
    • Moses Mendes Seixas, March 28, 1744-November 29, 1809.
      Son of Isaac Mendes Seixas, brother of Gershom. He was one of the organizers and first cashier of the Bank of Rhode Island. The bank conducted its business in his house until 1818. After the British occupied Newport during the Revolutionary War, Moses M. Seixas remained in Newport and was among the signers of a document pledging loyalty to the patriot cause. In 1790 he was president of the congregation in Newport, Jeshuat Israel and addressed George Washington in an historic letter of welcome. He was a charter member and in 1802 became first grand master of St. John's Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Newport. Moses Mendes Seixas married Jochebed Levy in 1770 and they had eight children: Rachel (1773-1822), Benjamin (1775-1843), Judith (1777-1829), Isaac (1779-1786), Bella (1781-1860), Abigail (1782-1854), Gershom (died in infancy), Grace (1786-1865), and Hetty (1790-1854).
