Joseph Simon marries Rosa Bunn; their daughter married Michael Gratz, Michael Gratz's daughter Richea married Samuel Hays, their daughter Sara married Alfred Mordecai. Joseph Simon = Rosa Bunn.

In B. F. Heitman's Historical Register of the Officers of the Continental Army during the War of the Revolution, April, 1775, to December, 1783, (Washington, D. C., 1893), there occurs on p. 262 the mention of Asher Levy (N. J.), who was an Ensign in the 1st New Jersey Regiment, appointed September 12, 1778, and resigned June 14, 1779. To judge from the name, he was a Jew. Perhaps by a publication of this notice, further information about him can be obtained.

Heitman's book, p. 238, speaks of Isaacs, a Colonel in the North Carolina militia, and who was wounded and taken prisoner at Camden on August 16, 1780, and on the same page Isaac Israel is spoken of as a Lieutenant in the 8th Virginia Regiment. A careful scrutiny of the book might bring out further references that are worthy of being looked up.

MORRIS JASTROW, JR.

Mr. Friedenwald gives the middle name of David S. Franks as Solebury, while according to Mr. Joseph it is Salesby. It would be interesting to have the correct spelling of this name settled.

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTE TO "JEWS OF PHILADELPHIA,” p. 53.

Since writing my article, I have ascertained that the Israel Israel referred to by Mr. Rosenbach was not a Jew but a Quaker. It appears that after the Revolution he moved to Philadelphia and became deeply interested among other things, in a Masonic lodge. A picture of Mr. Israel may be seen at present in the Masonic Temple of Philadelphia, and the cast of features as well as the dress sufficiently indicate his Quaker origin and proclivities. I have not yet been able to determine whether this Israel Israel is identical with the proprietor of the Cross Keys Tavern who bore the same MORRIS JASTROW, JR.

name.
