  • Judith Solomon Cohen (December 21, 1766 – April 5, 1837) was the matriarch of one of the earliest Jewish families in Baltimore, Maryland. She married Israel I. Cohen, originally from Oberdorf Germany, on December 21, 1787 in England. The couple had emigrated to Richmond, Virginia by 1784, where Israel worked temporarily as a constable. He was one of the founders of the Congregation Beth Shalome as well as a subscriber for shares of the Academy of Arts and Sciences of the United States of America. The couple had nine children: Joshua (1788-1788); Jacob Jr. (1789-1869); Solomon (b. 1791); Philip (1793-1852); Maria (1794-1834); Mendes (1796-1879); Benjamin (1797-1845); David (1800-1847); Joshua (1801-1870); and Edward (1802-1803). When Israel died on July 29, 1803, his house and belongings were auctioned off because at that time women could not own property. Cohen moved her seven children to Baltimore, Maryland and initially became a boarder of Shinah Solomon Etting. Later her son Benjamin would marry Etting's daughter Kitty and the couple became part of Baltimore's elite social circle. Cohen's sons worked at Cohen's Lottery and Exchange which they opened in 1813, and later at Jacob I. Cohen, Jr. and Brothers Banking House which opened in 1831. The lottery was very successful and the brothers opened five branch offices in other cities. It published its own four-page newspaper, Cohen's Gazette and Lottery Register from 1814 until 1830, containing lottery as well as financial news. The Cohen family lived in a large house on North Charles Street where they kept kosher and held daily services. They were the sponsors of the short-lived Sephardic Congregation in the 1850s. Judith Solomon Cohen died on April 5th 1837, in Baltimore. The family purchased a tract for her burial on Saratoga Street which was used for family burials until the 1970s when the family was reinterred at Baltimore Hebrew Cemetery. (en)
