Abstract:
Examines the lives of Jacob Mordecai (1762-1838), his two wives, and three of his thirteen children during the late 18th-19th centuries, in North Carolina and Virginia, based on archival material. Deals extensively with Jewish vs. Christian belief among the offspring, Jewish identity, Southern (Confederate) identity, and issues of marriage and community with which the family was entangled.
