Brian; You have your books confused. Go here:

as I suggested in the previous post and read the John Camden Hotten list. Hotten has been referenced by several writers and researchers as a source for Sizemores in Barbados. They apparently neglected to check his actual original work. Someone started it and everyone else just cut and pasted.

I am familiar with the passages you have sited. What do they prove? Many Southern genealogy researchers say that a high percentage of South Carolinians were in Barbados before coming to mainland America. It was a place for Englishmen to go by design, chance, or misfortune, depending upon ones circumstances. It certainly is no proof the person was Jewish.

Remember Hotten has been disproven as a scource. This reflects back on the original statements made by other researchers quoting him. Perhaps other errors are there also.

The list of "Jewes" who were there is interesting. I thought it would be of interest to the researchers on this list. It is also of interest that these people were openly acknowledged as Jews and were not in hiding.
