Small original sheet of paper that appears to have been attached to another document that is not in the folder. The back of the document has the words 'Moses Seixas, B. entry Ship Three Sisters 20 May 99'. The shipment came from Havanna (sic), to New York on May 20, 1799 and contained four trunks of clothes, two beds and bedding, and one small box of sea stories.

Note: AMDigital Reference:P60/3/2/11 , David G. Seixas (1788-1864, son of Gershom Mendes Seixas) This folder contains a series of letters from various people who are attempting to locate the information of David's birth date and other events in his life. Letter 1: February 16, 1824. There is another document in the folder that is difficult to read due to the handwriting. It is a legal document written in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on February 16, 1824. It appears to be regarding a court settlement that involved David Seixas and Hyman Marks and concerns the amount of fifty thousand dollars. Letter 2: January 15, 1911. Dr. Barnett A. Elzas to the Honorable N. Taylor Phillips. The Deaf Mutes of Philadelphia wish to construct a memorial to honor David for his founding of the Philadelphia Institution and request the dates of David's birth and death. Letter 3: March 1, 1911. H. Van Allen to the Honorable N. Taylor Phillips. Asking for details about David's origins and career to be the subject of a magazine article. Van Allen has information from South Bend, Indiana that places David's birth at July 2, 1788 and his death on March 19, 1864. This data does not correspond with previous information that places the marriage of David's parents Gershom Mendes Seixas (second marriage) to Hannah Emanuel on November 1, 1789. He also requests the information regarding David's movements after he left Philadelphia. Letter 4: March 3, 1911. Honorable N. Taylor Phillips to H. Van Allen. Response to Allen's March 1st letter. Phillips has found that all authorities agree that the marriage between Gershom Mendes Seixas to Hannah Manuel, not Emanuel, took place on November 1, 1789. He also supplies the additional information that David was a member of the Washington Lodge No. 21 F. and A.M. of New York City in 1807 and a soldier in the War of 1812. He states that he will attempt to obtain additional information about David. Letter 5: March 7, 1911. Dr. Reid to the Honorable N. Taylor Phillips. Reid does not know the date of David's birth but maybe Manuel does. Letter 6: April 12, 1911. Manuel A. Kursheedt to the Honorable N. Taylor Phillips. David was his grand uncle. Manuel's sister Serena has a Bible with recordings of significant dates for the family. David was born in the Hebrew month of Sivan, 1788. He figures out that Sivan is July and there appears to be a number seven before 'July.' Letter 7: April 26, 1911. Manuel A. Kursheedt to the Honorable N. Taylor Phillips. The Bible has a recording of the death of Gershom's first wife on October 30, 1785. It also has the birth dates of several children but there is no data for Gershom's second marriage. Letter 8: May 3, 1911. Honorable N. Taylor Phillips to Manuel A. Kursheedt. Wants to know how they can get the date of Gershom's second marriage. Letter 9: May 15, 1911. M. Engel, President of Indiana Mirror Manufacturing Company to the Honorable N. Taylor Phillips. Engel writes that he has enclosed a copy of an inscription that Phillips requested. (The copy does not appear in the folder). Letter 10: May 18, 1911. Honorable N. Taylor Phillips to H. Van Allen. Phillips writes that he has the Bible from Gershom's great granddaughter and that the information regarding his second marriage is not there. He states that the information received from South Bend, which placed David's birth on July 2, 1788 and the marriage on November 1, 1789 to be wrong. Phillips also found out that David was Master Mason in the Washington Lodge in December of 1808. He says that he will try to gain information about the marriage from Philadelphia. Letter #11: May 18, 1911. Honorable N. Taylor Phillips to Dr. Barnett A. Elzas. The dates of July 2, 1788; March 19, 1864; and March 21, 1864 as David's birth, death, and burial respectively, have been confirmed by the Society of Brotherly Love in South Bend, Indiana. Letter 12: May 18, 1911. Honorable N. Taylor Phillips to M. Engel. Phillips thanks Engel for the copy of the record that he sent and asks for a copy of the tombstone as well , Seixas Family Papers , Reproduction of David G. Seixas 1824, 1911 , American Jewish Historical Society

Note: AMDigital Reference:P60/3/2/10 , Original document, long paper, folded vertically, three and a half pages. Mentions the 30th chapter of Deuteronomy and the discussion of the commandment to walk in G-d's way. Gershom discusses the notion that people choose whether or not to follow in G-d's way, thereby affecting what good or evil shall come upon them. Man is a 'free agent' and is responsible for all the transgressions he may commit. Gershom says that because the ruling powers have declared war, it is their duty to 'act as true and faithfull (sic) citizens, to support and preserve the honor, the dignity, and the independence of the United States of America!' War is an evil and even David, who was a warrior, viewed war as the greatest of all punishments. Gershom calls to the people to pray to G-d for protection and a strengthening of faith and to get rid of the evil that is around them. He discusses the horrible conditions that many people have been faced with and the numerous deaths that have occurred. He calls to his congregants to repent for their sins and to pray. He concludes by announcing several additional prayers that the congregation will say on behalf of their fellow Jews who are in trouble. [Note: This sermon and the prayers mentioned in it are the subject of letter 6 to Sarah, found in the previous folder]. The folder also includes a copy of the cover of Gershom Mendes Seixas' published Thanksgiving Sermon delivered in New York City on November 26, 1789. An article titled "A Fount of American Democracy," by Isidore S. Meyer, published in The Menorah Journal (October-December 1939) discusses this sermon.

Note: AMDigital Reference:P60/1/1/4 , This folder contains six items: Item 1: Photograph of a plaque in honor of Moses Mendes Seixas, 1926. This plaque was erected by his great grandson, Captain N. Taylor Phillips. He is honored for his presidency in Congregation Jeshuat Israel, fighting in the Revolutionary War, being grandmaster of masons in Rhode Island, and founder of the Bank of Rhode Island. The plaque is dated 5686-1926. Item 2: Family Record, 1748-1902, n.d. An original family record, as well as a photocopy. Eleven typed pages and an additional cover page, with various symbols from the typewriter along the top and bottom of the cover. The compiler of the information does not give his name, however he is most likely Hyman Levy Seixas, who was a son of Benjamin and Zipporah Seixas, as he writes 'my Dear Father/Mother.' Dates of births, deaths and marriages of the entire family are recorded. The family records of the compiler's wife, Abigail N. Cardozo, are also recorded. Item 3: Coat of Arms, n.d. A drawing of the family's coat of arms. There is a shield with five birds, each in a different flight position. There is a helmet and leaves, forming arms at the top of the shield and a bird rests upon the helmet. At the bottom of the drawing is the name Seixas. On the back of this sheet of paper is a taped piece of paper, small, with red trim that says 'Coat of Arms family of Gershom Mendes Seixas.' It also appears to say the word 'Rabbi' but it is difficult to make out the other word. Item 4: Coat of Arms, n.d. Photograph of another picture of a coat of arms. The center of the picture contains a circle, with stripes, with three fish-like creatures overlapping each other. There is also some design around the center, in the appearance of leaves and circular objects. On the back of the photograph the words 'Arms, Seixas family of Lisbon Portugal' are written. A section of the photograph is ripped, presumably from the way it was placed in the folder; both pieces are present. Item 5: Photograph of the Seixas Family pedigree, n.d. This family tree shows the parents of the lineage, Isaac Mendes Seixas and Rachel Levy, and all of the subsequent generations of the family. The children are all listed, as well as the names of their spouses, and birth and death dates where known. Item 6: Photograph of Moses Mendes Seixas, n.d. A 8x10inch photograph that contains, in the center, a picture of a painting of Moses' face and shoulders. The picture of him is centered in a dark square frame and is oval. He has dark curly hair and a short beard. He is wearing a white shirt with a high collar , Seixas Family Papers , Reproduction of Seixas Family - Genealogy and coats of arms n.d., 1926 , American Jewish Historical Society

Note: AMDigital Reference:P60/1/1/5 , This folder contains six items: Item 1: Property evaluation, July 2, 1829. Thick, folded over original document from Charleston. On the back of this document are the first two words of the text: "We the subscribers." It seems as though the person who was drafting the document erred in the way he was writing and turned over the paper, and wrote on the other side. The signers of this document had been called upon to examine the conditions of a lot in Champruey's(?) Alley with the ruins of an old building upon it. The property seems to belong to the young children of Isaac M. Seixas, who is deceased. They find the building very destroyed, without a roof, with the lower floor ripped up and falling through. They also certify that the building had been authorized to be demolished because of its state and the likelihood that it would fall on its own. Item 2: Letter from Joshua Seixas to Elizabeth, February 22, 1834. The letter is in response to Elizabeth's letter to Joshua. Elizabeth is Joshua's student. He apologizes for the delay in his response to her. He cites his reasons as 1) being away from home, 2) his eyes were weak at the time he received the letter, and 3) he had been waiting to receive a certain grammar book. He remarks that he was happy to hear that Elizabeth had told him about her love for heavenly things and a newfound religiousness and spirituality. He discusses the fact that it is impossible to love Christ and one's parents. He calls Jesus Christ l-rd, and expresses his wish that his family imitate his ways. He continues by praising Jesus' faith in G-d and the commandment to follow Jesus and his ways. [Note: there is both the use of Hebrew terms and talk about Jesus in this document. Elizabeth's ancestors were religious people, and she has strayed from Judaism.] The next section of the letter expresses Jacob's concern over hearing about Elizabeth's mother's misfortune, although he does not say what the misfortune is. He then goes on to discuss the problems he is having with his eyesight and his compulsion to give up the Concordance he was working on as well as his Hebrew Grammar book for several weeks. He concludes the letter by wishing pleasure to Elizabeth and her entire family and signs it 'your sincere friend, J. Seixas.' Item 3: Account record, circa 1839. Original document. A half sheet of paper, column on the right hand side with a list of numbers, set aside from the words of the document by a double vertical line. The document is a record of money and shares in companies owned by the deceased Moses Seixas. Item 4: Account record, continuation of above, circa 1839. Two separate original pages, containing writing on both sides of the documents. As with the previous document, there are lists of prices on the right column of the page, separated from the main text of the document by a double line on the sheet of paper. Both pages are beginning to tear along the folded crease in the middle of the page. The two pages are detailed accounts listing furniture and other items found in various rooms of a house and their value. These items and their prices reflect the amount of money raised at an auction. Item 5: October 29, 1846. Contract, October 29, 1846. Original document, contract signed by Jacob B. Seixas, Jonas B. Phillips and Richard Lawrence. In the top center of the document is a symbol that contains a man and a woman standing on two sides of a shield. The man is holding a sword and scales of justice; the woman is holding a long rod. In the shield is the image of a sun setting behind a mountain, overlooking a body of water. There are bushes behind the man and woman as well as an eagle with its wings spread on top of the shield. There are three red dots on the lower right hand corner of the paper in a vertical position. This contract is a loan document, wherein the three men promise to return four hundred dollars that they borrowed. Item 6: Estate of H. M. Seixas, April-June, 1867. Four attached pieces of paper about the estate and death of H.M. Seixas. Alfred M. Seixas is the Executor, H.M. Seixas may have been his mother Hannah. His father Abraham Mendes Seixas was known to have died in 1867, yet the deceased initials appear to be H.M. The pages are held together by a straight pin. Page 1: Dated May 17, 1867. On May 22, at noon there will be an inventory of all of H.M. Seixas' belongings, for all who are interested in the deceased estate. Page 2: From the County of New York Surrogate's office, dated June 3, 1867. A statement that everything reported to have been found during the inventory is accurate. Page 3: A statement by witnesses and the appraiser that the articles and objects he found in the deceased's possession were declared honestly. The document is light blue and printed. Page 4: Titled Inventory and Appraisement of the Personal Estate of H.M. Seixas. Handwritten on a lined sheet of paper and signed by the appraiser. It lists possessions and their value. There is also a stamp worth five cents stuck to the paper. On top of the stamp is printing that says 'April 18, 67.' , Seixas Family Papers , Reproduction of Seixas Family papers 1829, 1834, c.1839, 1846, 1867 , American Jewish Historical Society

Note: AMDigital Reference:P60/3/2/15 , Rabbi Isaac Benjamin Seixas (1781-1839, son of Benjamin Mendes Seixas). Eight and a half pages, original document, a discourse from his time as minister of the Spanish Portuguese Congregation in Richmond, Virginia, circa 1828. The document is the eulogy given at the funeral of Isaac Hillel Judah, a member of the congregation. He begins his speech with a quote in Hebrew and English from Job, Chapter 14 'Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.' The speech is based on the concept that Job, although was faced with a tremendous amount of hardship, never lost his faith in G-d. He accepts the bad that happens to him with the good; Rabbi Seixas encourages the mourners to learn from Job. Mr. Judah, the man being eulogized had contributed greatly to the establishment of the congregation and was an honest upright man. The Rabbi stresses that Job and our forefathers suffered difficult times and did not despair; the members of his congregation should do the same , Seixas Family Papers , Reproduction of Rabbi Isaac Benjamin Seixas (1781-1839, son of Benjamin Mendes Seixas) 1828 , American Jewish Historical Society
