| Tax records on ancestry.com for London show many results for a Jacob Aaron in the period between the 1740s and 1780s in Aldgate and Portsoken and vicinity. Someone taxed as an adult in those years is not likely to be the father of Barney born in 1800. These are just lists of names and tax rates with no other identifying information.
There is a Jacob Aaron who appears as a witness on 6 Apr 1785 in the trials of a William Harding for burglary, and Uziel Barrah for receiving the stolen goods. Jacob was a servant of Barrah's, living at his butcher shop on Duke Street in Duke's Place, and was in the shop when the goods were brought in to be pawned. A transaction occurred with Barrah's wife and the goods were subsequently found by the police in Barrah's house. Mr. Barrah wasn't home at the time the goods were brought in. Another servant, 17-year-old Abraham Nathan, also testified, and referred to Jacob as "my fellow servant." Jacob's age is not stated at any time during the proceedings, but at one point he referred to Abraham Nathan as a "little boy", so must have been much older. The two were apparently servants in Barrah's butcher business. Harding was ultimately sentenced to death for the crime, and Barrah was to be transported to Africa for fourteen years.
On 16 Feb 1774 he had been called to testify as a character witness for a Joseph Abraham, someone who was son of a person called "Abraham the green man" because he sold greens. He said about the defendant, "I have known him fell greens; his mother keeps a green-stall in Duke's-Place ; he has bore a good character; I know no harm of him."
Reported in the book "Marriage Records of The Great Synagogue London 1791-1885" by Harold and Miriam Lewis published in Jerusalem in 2004 there is a marriage record between Jacob Aaron(s) and Hannah Levy on 24 Apr 1800. This is the correct time frame to be our Jacob, and thus the parents of Barney, but proof of the connection is presently lacking.
In the records of the King's Bench prison in London there is a Jacob Aaron interred there between 12 Aug 1805 and 19 Aug 1806 charged in a suit by "Samuel Solomons and another" and Stephen Todd Holroyd and another" for the sum of 284 pounds and change.1,2,3,4 |
