• Notes

  (Research):AJLLJ Portraits Database 5 Aug 2011 Son of Abraham Rodriguez Brandon and Sarah Esther Lopez Brandon, Isaac was born in Barbados. His family, as with nearly all Jewish families in the thriving British island colony, was involved in slave-based sugar production and trade. Though both parents were also Barbados born, the Brandon family maintained strong ties throughout the Caribbean and to New York, where they often traveled. His father, in addition to serving as parnas of Nideh Israel in Bridgetown, Barbados, made donations, including a brass chandelier, to Shearith Israel in New York.      In 1817 Brandon's sister Sarah married Joshua Moses, the son of distinguished New York merchant Isaac Moses and Reyna Levy Moses. Seven years later, Isaac Brandon married another of Isaac Moses' children, Lavinia. Theirs was to be a tragically short union. Lavinia died giving birth to their second child, a daughter who would in turn bear her mother's name. The younger Lavinia only lived to the age of two, and Brandon never remarried. [4]
