He married in England Elizabeth Whtlock, who pre-
viously became convert to the Jewish faith, which
she ever afterwards adhered to in the strictest man
ner They removed to America, to the city Of Phila
delphia where three were born to them. Jacob
was the eldest and was born April IL, 1852, and by
the time he was old enough to take an interest IN
public matters the oppressive acts of George Ills
government were filling all minds with APP
prehenson In 1774 being then IL years old, he was
sent to large school kept by Captain Joseph Stiles,
who had been an officer in the Britshnavy, and who,
we learn preserved in his school very rigid disci
pine such as in these days would be considered
tremely yet he seldom had occasion to the
rod or ferrule, though both made conspicuous fig
ure at his side" Very early in the Revolution hewas
appointed commssary of military stores. After the
early troubles in Boston and Saem the addresses
to the King, the people throughout the towns and
country formed military associations and Jacob
Mordecai was soon member of one OF them. He,
states in of his letters that "ther uniform gen.
orally was hunting shirt, dyed fancy pointed
and the youths of the schools and colleges in Phla
dephia formed themselves in accompanies distinguished
by different colors armed with guns and trained to
military exercises In the month of September, 1774
these companies were all collected and in the of
the rifle or frock marched to Frankford, about
five miles from Philadelphia for the purpose of escort
ing the delegates to town. They were on horseback,
two and two and with their military escort formed
a long procession. The road lined with people
and resounded with huzzas, drums, etc., and exhib-
tied lively scene In the humble Office of sergeant
had thus the honor of escortng into Philadelphia the
first American Congress-.
From this school Jacob removed by his father
to the office of his friend David Franks, Esq, who
early in the war appointed commissary for Brit
ish prisoners, and probably kind of fairy god
father to all the bright Jewish boys of his time and
city He mentions that it was at Mr.. Franks house
that he met Major Andre, then a paroled prisoner,
who was passing his idle hours and exercising his
talents in the most agreeable way by taking a mini
allure likeness of the beautiful Miss Franks Ito whom
he presented it, accompanied by few beautiful lines
of poetry"
Moses Mordecai died in 1871, and in the following
year his widow married Jacob Cohen, of Richmond,

then in New York city, then in Goochland county,
Virginia; then in Richmond, then in Petersburg and
finally in Warrenton, small town in North Caro-
lna whchwas destined to be the home Of the family
for some twenty five years. andwhere his calling was
that of country merchant" which included at that
time or less extensive trade ntobacco, cotton
and the cereals well the greater variety OF the
country store of the present day.
Judith Mordecai always delicate and with a fast
increasing family, died on the birth of the seventh
Child and twas perhaps that Rebecca Myers,
the younger hafsister of his first wife should be his
choice in giving mother to his children Probably
it was after the second marriage that he decided on
new vocation. Commercial life did not greatly IN
terest him. 1t is not mentioned where he obtained
his excellent knowledge of the Hebrew language and
literature, but he was always studious and devoted
to literary and especially Biblical research, OF winch
he left great masses of manuscript. He must have
felt that spite of his early imperfect education the
work in Life for him must be intellectual, andthe most
available field that of imparting his hardearned
knowledge. Reverses In fortune made it necessaryto
give up his business and not deferred by the disad
vantages he abored under account of his race hs
own being the only Jewish family in the place; and,
indeed within large circuit) he established in War
renton boarding school for girls, which IN few
years grew in fame and consequence numbering over
eighty boarders each year. To quote from the mem
DIR of Rachel the oldest daughter:
"A proposal was made to my father by several
gentlemen of influence and standing to establish
boarding school for young ladies, nnstructing whom
he might be assisted by his family. After some de-
liberation he decided making the attempt, and,
with tmid, anxious JOY, found my ardent wish to
assist my parents the point Of being gratifed In
this was assisted by my brother Solomon, then
student at Georges Academy, in Warrenton, and
who, though four years younger than myself was
very capable of improving Arniable in youth
and in manhood, he took delight in bestowing the
time allotted for recreation to mpart to his sisters
the lessons he had been receiving and l, with the
strongest motives to sustain to exertion found
nothing too difficult to be attempted for the acqui-
tition of knowledge.
"The first of January, 1902 found ready to
commence our new avocation My father had rented
the house where we formerly resided; the store
