181825466<p>Elaborate receipt for Newport Rhode Island sale of land from estate of Benjamin Seixas 1747-1817 signed by numerous members of his family and members of the Spanish-Portuguese Jewish Congregation who were heirs to the property known now as the Buliod-Perry House at 29 Touro Street to Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry the great naval hero of the Battle of Lake Erie in 1813.</p> <b>EARLY AMERICAN JUDAICA. NAPHTALI PHILLIPS.</b>Manuscript Document Signed 1p folio 14½ x 21½ in. November 30 1818.<p><br /></p><p>This most important historic American Jewish document is signed by the following:</p><p><b>Jachebed Seixas</b> 1746-1828 wife of Moses Mendes Mendes.</p><p><b>Naphtali Phillips</b> 1773-1870. In 1796 Phillips took the first copy of George Washington's farewell address that came off the press of <i>the American Advertiser</i> a leading Philadelphia newspaper. In 1848 this document was placed in the cornerstone of the Washington Monument. On July 5 1797 Phillips married Rachel Hannah daughter of Moses Mendez Seixas a prominent Newport merchant and banker and a brother of Gershom Mendez Seixas known as "the patriotic Jewish minister of the American Revolution." Phillips was elected the first American born <i>parnass</i> of Mikveh Israel at the age of 25; he also helped to draft the new constitution of the synagogue. He soon returned to New York where he became <i>parnass</i>president of Shearith Israel the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue by 1816 and served for 14 terms. He was prominent in the affairs of the Democratic Party in New York City.</p><p><b>Rachel Phillips</b> 1798-1861 daughter of Benjamin M.

Morris who has recorded the instrument of property transfer.</p><p><b>Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry</b> 1785-1819 was an American naval commander the older brother of Commodore Matthew C. Perry. Perry served in the West Indies during the Quasi War of 1798-1800 against France in the Mediterranean during the Barbary Wars of 1801-1815 and in the Caribbean fighting piracy and the slave trade; but he is most remembered for his heroic role in the War of 1812 during the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie. Supervising the building of a fleet at Erie Pennsylvania against the British he earned the title "Hero of Lake Erie" for leading the American forces in a decisive victory at the Battle of Lake Erie for which he received a gold medal from Congress. His leadership materially aided the successful outcomes of all nine Lake Erie military campaign victories and the victory was the turning point in the battle for the West in the War. His famous words "Don't Give Up the Ship" were emblazoned on his battle flag and his message to General William Henry Harrison; "We have met the enemy and they are ours…" are two of the most famous military quotes in American history.</p><p>Perry bought the property at 29 Touro Street delineated in this document with the idea of eventually retiring there. Unfortunately in 1819 while commanding the frigate <i>John Adams</i> sailing for the Oronoco River in Venezuela in an attempt to once again discourage piracy in the Americas he contracted yellow fever and died on August 24th 1819 on his 34th birthday. His family continued to occupy the Newport property until 1865 when it became headquarters for a naval training ship aptly named <i>the Oliver Hazard Perry</i>. His body was brought back to Newport and he was buried in the Island Cemetery where his brother Matthew C. Perry is also interred.</p><p>A most important unique and historic Newport document linking one of America's greatest naval heroes and a major Jewish American family.</p><p>Ex-collection: Justin Turner; Dr. William Coleman; By descent to heirs of Dr. Coleman; Bruce Gimelson</p><b>Partial Transcript:</b><p>"<i>Know all men by these Presents that Jachebed Seixas of Newport in the County of Newport and State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations Widow and Devisee of Moses Seixas late of said Newport deceased Naphtali Phillips of the City County and State of New York Gentleman and Rachel Phillips wife of said Naphtali Samuel Lopez of said New York Merchant and Judith Lopez wife of the said Samuel Bilhah Seixas Abigail Seixas Grace Seixas & Hetty Seixas all of said Newport single women and Stephen T.

He single-handedly provided American Jews with many of the basic religious texts institutions and conceptual tools they needed to construct the cultural foundation of what would later emerge as the largest Jewish community in the history of the Jewish people. Printed in 1845 this edition of the Pentateuch in five volumes included a vocalized Hebrew text of each of the Five Books of Moses together with an English translation and notes as well as the haftarot prophetic readings. Leeser actually began working on The Law of God in 1838. Among the factors involved in his decision to begin systematically working on a translation was the recent opening of Rebecca Gratz's Sunday School which met for the first time in March 1838 in Philadelphia and was desperately in need of appropriate study material. Students were compelled to use the King James Bible for want of a Jewish alternative. Religiously objectionable passages in other texts provided by Protestant organizations were either pasted over or torn out by Gratz's staff. Leeser who supported the Sunday School and was its chief academic resource person felt compelled to find more suitable texts for the students. The impetus for Leeser throughout was always his desire to provide the Jews of America with an English text of the Bible that was produced by one of their own and was not tainted by conversionist motivations.
