Notes

1. Israel is mentioned (incorrectly under the name of Mordecai Abrahams) in a fairly well known book ob the Franklin family.
2. Israel was a member of the Portsmouth Community but for most of the 1780s and 1790s he lived and traded as a Silversmith in Arundel in Sussex, he retired to live in Portsmouyh around 1800.
3. Israel's name in Hebrew is "Menahem Ezreil ben Abraham", this implies that his father's name was Abraham.
A patronymic shows descent from the father by the addition of (eg. b. = "ben" son of) fter the son's given name followed by the father's given name.
4. Another name such as Ber (bear), Zvi (stag) oe Leib (Lion) is often placed after a given name and is based on the Hebrew name being associated with a scriptural writing somewhere eg. Issachar Ber, Hirsch Zvi or Judah Lehib, anyway the upshot is that when an English version of a Jewish name such as Issachar is used the name "ber-Bear" or Bernard/Barnett is used, hence Issachar (ber) ben Zvi Samuel may appear as Barnett Solomons the son of Henry Samuel Solomon.
