Two recent instances of egregious folly based upon this singular tenet have induced me to republish my letter of 1829 which if read by those laboring under this delusion cannot fail to shake their belief.

EARLY AMERICAN JUDAICA. NAPHTALI PHILLIPS.Manuscript Document Signed 1p folio 14Â½ x 21Â½ in. November 30 1818. This most important historic American Jewish document is signed by the following:Jachebed Seixas 1746-1828 wife of Moses Mendes Mendes.Naphtali Phillips 1773-1870. In 1796 Phillips took the first copy of George Washington's farewell address that came off the press of the American Advertiser 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 parnass 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 parnasspresident 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.Rachel Phillips 1798-1861 daughter of Benjamin M. Seixas; wife of Naphtali Phillips.Samuel Lopez probably the son of David Lopez died 1822.Judy Judith Lopez wife of Samuel Lopez.Abby Seixas 1784-1860 the second child of Benjamin Seixas to be named Abigail the first died in 1782.Grace Seixas 1794-1866 daughter of Benjamin M.

Morris who has recorded the instrument of property transfer.Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry 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 oursâ€¦" are two of the most famous military quotes in American history.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 John Adams 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 the Oliver Hazard Perry. His body was brought back to Newport and he was buried in the Island Cemetery where his brother Matthew C. Perry is also interred.A most important unique and historic Newport document linking one of America's greatest naval heroes and a major Jewish American family.Ex-collection: Justin Turner; Dr. William Coleman; By descent to heirs of Dr. Coleman; Bruce GimelsonPartial Transcript:"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.
