• Notes

  (Research):AJLLJ Portrait Database 5 Aug 2011 Born at the dawn of the nineteenth century, Kitty Etting Cohen spent her brief life amidst the bustle of the shaping of Baltimore. One of the youngest children of Solomon and Rachel Gratz Etting, Kitty had sisters Richea and Miriam to look up to as a child. Hers was one of Baltimore's leading Jewish families in business and civic life. The only family that rivaled the Ettings for place of prominence was the Cohens. Indeed it was her father and Jacob I. Cohen who led the fight for Jewish liberties in Maryland and served as the first Jewish members of the city council.      On December 15, 1819, when Kitty married Jacob's younger brother Benjamin I. Cohen, these two families established their first link. Benjamin was a banker and a founder of the Baltimore Stock Exchange. Together they had eleven children before Kitty's death at thirty-seven.
