• Notes

  (Research):AJLLJ Portrait Database 5 Aug 2011 Cornelia Cohen was the second oldest of the children born to Leah Lazarus and Mordecai Cohen. Her older sister, Eliza, died at age eleven. Cornelia's mother came from a well established, though financially troubled, Sephardic family in Charleston, and her father, a Polish emigrant and peddler, had made a fortune. The family owned a plantation on the Ashley River, and Cornelia was brought up in a three and half story brick house on Broad Street in Charleston.      In 1840 she married her uncle, her mother's younger brother Benjamin, though he was only five years her senior. They remained in Charleston and had six children. [4]
