i think you need to read this book it lists both richard sisemore and john Sisemore
This List, which is reprinted in P.F. Campbell's "Some Early Barbadian History", published Barbados, 1993, appears to be part of an old publication which Campbell reproduces in its entirety, and which is entitled: "Memoirs of the First Settlement of the Island of Barbados and other the Carribbee Islands, with the Succession of the Governors and Commanders in Chief of Barbados to the Year 1742, extracted from Ancient Records, Papers and Accounts taken from Mr. William Arnold, Mr. Samuel Bulkly, and Mr. John Summers, some of the First Settlers, the last of whom was alive in 1688, aged 82. Also some Remarks on the Laws and Constitution of Barbados." by William DUKE, the clerk of the House of Assembly, who first published the 100 page book in Barbados in 1741.

Second edition London 1743. Reprinted in Bdos 1891. For more details, see Handler's "Guide to Source Materials for the study of Barbados History", page 30.London, Printed for E. Owen near Chancery Lane, Holborn, MDCCXLII.

Brian; You have your books confused. Go here:

http://www.geocities.com/ourmelungeons/hotten1.html

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.

Janet Crain

its no proof they werent Jewish either! You said they werent even there in your previous statement.

Hi, Message Board Readers!
Maybe the following information from Jewish Genealogy (http://www.jewishgen.org) will help.

So anyone with eyes can see there are actually several Jewish Sizemores (and one Jewish CIZMAR) living today.

Disclaimer: The mere appearance of your surname in this database does not mean that the family was Jewish. But its listing, particularly from multiple sources, and if the submitter was Jewish, and if the individual is living, is strongly presumptive.

Donald Panther-Yates

I don't see why anyone would think a Sizemore member of the Jewish faith today is *proof* of a very early Jewish heritage. Besides, the list you gave is for people inquiring about Jewish genealogy!

Now I do find this very interesting:

Using Sizemore & Sisemore you get absolutely nothing that starts with an S!

Dear Mr.Donald-Yates,

In researching the Luna name, I found your reference in the "Sisemore in Barbaros found (but not in Hotten's Book") subject posting.

Do you have any more information on the Luna surname? I have just found out that my maternal grandfather's maternal grandfather was named Benito ALVARES y Luna, although in the past I had read his name in the 1910 and 1930 U.S. Censuses of Puerto Rico as Benito ALVARES y ALVARES. I know that both of his parents came from Spain and that he arrived in Puerto Rico in 1969. I know that his wife, Antonia ESCRIBANO, came from a marrano family from the South of Spain, originally. The ESCRIBANOs have been in Puerto Rico for some time, since the early 16th Century.

There are quite a few LUNAs in Puerto Rico, and I am still in the planning process of this research. My grandfather was Jose Alejandro OBEN y ALVARES and his mother was Juana ALVARES y ESCRIBANO, whose parents were Benito ALVARES y ESCRIBANO and Antonia ESCRIBANO, all living in Ponce, Puerto Rico in 1910.

My grandfather would mention that his father had come "by way of St. Martin" to Puerto Rico and there are OBENs in St. Thomas in the 1917 U.S. Census: Gustus, Lodrick, Emanuel and Maria. Emanuel was "foreign" and spoke French, while Gustus, Lodrick and Maria were from St. Thomas and from St. Baths.

The OBENs are said to be from the Virgin Islands and have moved to Haiti, Santo Domingo where it is written in a book "Bani: Raices Historicas: that they lived during the 17th Century and, sometime in the 19th Century, Puerto Rico.

I did find the Luna surname is listed as a Sephardic surname meaning "moon" in Spanish.

Cordially,
Ines Diaz-Oben
