25 Iyer 5561 death #280 from ref 61 www.barrow-lousada.org which also gives an analysis of conflicting data about the life and death of Simon Barrow of Barbados
His will was 'entered' on 21 May 1801 in Barbados (see Frank Cheesman's notes on www.barrow-lousada.org). Though this death date precedes the entry of the will by 13 days, this is - as today - a very short time to have probate proven but perhaps there were no challenges.
A probable red herring is that geni.com gives Judith Lumbroso de Matos Mocatta #65 as his wife - and certainly this reference gives the same parents (of the two brothers Abraham and Jacob Lumbroso de Matos Mocatta plus the 2 daughters Judith and Gracia Lumbroso de Matos Mocatta) as the two parents of Abraham and Jacob as nominated by manfamily.org ie Moses Lambroso de Mattos and Rebecca Sarah Mocatta. However, geni.com also gives the Judith's husband's lifespan as 1705-59 and geni.com also gives the husband of Judith Lumbroso de Matos Mocatta as an Ashkenazi Jew emigrating to the US in the 1800s and so we should probably dismiss this particular candidate for the first wife of our Simon Barrow.
spelling from family records (rear of image of Simon Barrow of Bath held by Peter Barrow) see www.barrow-lousada.org - go to image of Simon Barrow of Bath. Peerage.com has Isabel Montefiore as the wife of Simon Barrow 1 and so does the Barrow family tree.
death of Bella from ref 61 www.barrow-lousada.org #281
We are seeking confirmation for our conjecture that she was a sister of the first English Montefiore!
Edgar Samuel provided the following information on her gravestone inscription:
Simon's wife Bella died (281) on 1st October 1773 aged 53. They are buried side by side in Bridgetown, Barbados cemetery.
In the Hebrew epitaph on her tombstone, which he obviously drafted, his name is given as Shimon bar Baruch, which is the Ashkenasi form for 'Simon son of Baruch'.
