Descendants of Simon Barrow

Notes


4. Joseph Barrow

See will extract on http://synagoguescribes.com/blog/Jewish-will-extracts-18th-19th-century/?value=360

buried at New Cemetery 4568 in BMR6

Joseph and Baruch Barrow of Barbados given power of attorney over the estate of Moses Nunes on 16 Jan 1786 ref 44/162 Barbados Registration Office


Sarah Depeza Massiah

Joseph Barrow's will lists Isaac Depeza Massiah as a brother-in-law. Perhaps he was Sarah's brother - so we take her middle name and surname from this

Sarah's will was entered 31 March 1814 and suggests she died in Barbados

from Shilstone she was 72 at death 19 Mar 1814

from ref 132 www.barrow-lousada.org we see her name was written Sarah daughter of Abraham de Simon Massiah

11. Richard Barrow

http://synagoguescribes.com/blog/Jewish-will-extracts-18th-19th-century/?value=360

The will as shown on this website has a question mark against this name - with this being the only offspring shown. He was also a 'coloured boy' for whom manumission was sought in London.


5. Simha Barrow

Presumably the Simha = Semayeh in Simon Barrow's will

There is a Simha d7 Oct 1789 aged 41 wife of Abraham Berzaglo -  so we can take her to be the daughter of SB1 since even though he died almost 10 years later his will could have been written before 1789 (as he died very old - around 90) and it contemplates his daughter marrying Abraham Berzaglo

As Solomon was born before the marriage, it seems likely that Sarah/Simha was married to another Berzaglo who predeased her - and in accordance with the custom she married his brother


Abraham Berzaglo

in the will of Simon Barrow, this marriage is contemplated yet there is a son Solomon Berzaglo. As Simha/Sarah died a spinster the contemplated marriage did not occur

Abraham's dates from Shilstone


12. Solomon Berzaglo

grandson mentioned in SB1 will and also nephew mentioned in Jacob Barrow will

in his will, with probate 1804, Solomon refers to his uncle Joseph Barrow of Barbados but Solomon's address is Kingston Jamaica

10. Eve Barrow

The Barrow family tree records her as marrying a Jacob Levi whereas  she is named Eve Joseph in the will of her father who died in 1801. On www.barrow-lousada.org we show she must have married Jacob first then Joseph and consider it likely that they were brothers.

The Barrow tree also gives a daughter as Simha who marries Lewis Cohen. Frank Cheesman's notes on the will of Simon Barrow (see www.barrow-lousada.org) confirm this.

There is no indication of a 7th sibling Eve in the wills of Joseph or Jacob Barrow. Some deceased siblings got mentioned (Baruch and Jacob in Joseph's will). Eve could have died much earlier; her daughter Judith married in 1797 and Eve had few probaly just 2 children.

An obvious explanation is that Joseph Levi had a marriage before he married the widow Eve Barrow and that Jacob Joseph Levi was his son.


Jacob Levi


see www.barrow-lousada.org - Barbados page - for a discussion of him and his probable brother Joseph Levi both of whom married Eve


Marriage Notes for Eve Barrow and Jacob Levi

the marriage date can be estimated from the marriage dates of Simha #969 1791 and Judith #454 1797

it must be earlier than 1778 otherwise it would have been recorded in ref 132 of www.barrow-lousada.org and it must be no later than 1770 if Simha was 15 or more at her marriage.


15. Simha Levi

This niece (in Jacob and Joseph Barrow wills) is in the Barrow tree as a daughter of Eve.

She married before her sister Judith and therefore her fathe was probably Jacob.

She pre-deceased her husband Lewis Cohen - not appearing in his will proved 1823.


Judah Cohen

aka Lewis see marriage #20 of ref 133 www.barrow-lousada.org
