I am attempting to uncover the origins of Levy Hart, parents, siblings, place of birth etc. Published data suggests he immmigrated from England c. 1735, however, it appears more likely that he arrived in New York c. 1755. he applied for naturalization in 1756 as a New York Colony merchant along with his supposed cousin, Jonas Solomon. Hart and Solomon did business with the more well known Jewish merchants in NYC in the 1750's and 1760's, like Uriah Hendricks, Samuel Judah, Benjamin s. Judah, Judah and Rebecca Hays, and Samuel Levy. I cant tell if these were strictly business dealings, or indications of possible family ties. Neither Hart nor Solomon are listed in "First jewish Families". It is presumed they were both German or Dutch, but immigrated from England.

Does anyone have a record of either a Levy Hart or a Jonas Solomon both born around 1730?
