| Biography |
Isaac de Castro's will is recorded in the Public Record Office of the U.K. National Archives. It recognizes his 4 children by name, wife, and his brothers.Moses, Abram, Samuel, and Daniel. Isaac left money to Abram v.Immanuel Nunes, his gentile servant Leroy, and Rabbi Abram Pinhas.
He on the various trees is said to be of Leghorn and London. This is reflected in his willl.
On one tree it is recorded he had 4 children, an unnamed daughter, Ester, Solomon and Abraham. On the Leo tree it is recorded that in addition to the above children his unnamed daughter was called Rachel.
On the Keith tree there is a comment to the effect that Isac died on his way home from India at Leghorn some time after 1767. It states that:
He left his property to Jacob's and Moses' families who were merchants in Amsterdam, Holland expresly excluding his London brothers from any benefits under his will because they were rich and did not require anything.
This suggests at some time his will has been located. However what is strange from this comment is that he left anything to any brothers as he had children and it seems strange that he did not leave his estate to his children!
Abraham, one son of Isac is mentioned of being of 2 Walbrook and there is reference to the 13th edition of New Complete Guide to London This is the same addres as his uncle Abraham.
Abraham (Son of Isaac)is quoted in Gedalia Yogev's book on pp104 as being a Jewish coral merchant of Leghorn where the London Jewish Diamond merchants obtained their coral for export to India where it was traded for Diamonds The comments are undated but are a direct quote from him where he describes the activity.
"..it is common for the coral fisheries to bring from the islands adjacent to Leghorn from six to eight thousand pounds weight of coral each boatÖabout three hundred of such boats are employed in collecting in each coral fishing season for the market of Leghorn, besides which great quantities of coral are from time to time imported at Leghorn from France..."
The source is later referenced on page 291:-
De Castro was also buying coral from Neapolitan sellers; P.R.O C12/2150.1 (1781) reply ibid., schedule, Abraham de Castro to Mark Gregory, Leghorn, 22 Oct 1779 |
