Solomon family

Samuel Moss Solomon (c. 1769 – 13 May 1842) was an early Jewish settler in Australia, amongst whose descendants many achieved a degree of notability. The relationship between these descendants is complicated by three factors: the duplication of names, not only within a family line but across lines; the number of intra-family marriages; and marriages to people with the same surname but not closely related. This list is not exhaustive but includes most family members likely to be found in Wikipedia and Australian newspapers.

History

Samuel Moss Solomon had a business in London manufacturing pencils, though reports of him being an inventor or even major manufacturer are unsupportable. He married Elizabeth Moses (c. 1772–c. 1814) and had four sons: Moss Samuel, Emanuel, Vaiben and Phillip, and four daughters: Susan, Hannah, Sarah and Esther. After the death of Elizabeth he married Esther Davis (31 December 1774 – 13 July 1875), with whom he had another two children, Isaac and Elizabeth "Betsy". Their home was at 30 Wentworth Street, Spitalfields, London.

Two sons, Vaiben and Emanuel, fell foul of the law, and were transported to Sydney in 1818 on the Lady Castlereagh as convicts. Fifteen years later Samuel Moss Solomon and his wife Esther and many of their family emigrated to Australia in the Enchantress, arriving in Sydney in April or May 1833. Sons Moss Samuel Solomon and Isaac Solomon emigrated, also several children of Susan Benjamin, née Solomon, and later Susan herself. Hannah (1801 – 1 September 1849), Sarah (1806 – 14 March 1893) and Phillip (1806 – September 1876) were married and remained in England.

Samuel Moss Solomon died in Sydney in 1842. Ten years after the death of her husband, Esther moved to the home of her son Isaac in Adelaide, where she died some 23 years later.
