Notes for [Moshe] Benedikt/ Baruch b’ Jehuda-Leib/ Goldschmidt Shtokkert segal mi Kassel
Shtadlan — “…
Moshe Baruch b’ Moshe Jehuda sg”l…”
®37 — often mentioned as “Bendix Stukart”
— [NB: the first of his ‘given names [Moshe] should be considered as a prepostive (ceremonial) title, thus not as his regular/ordinary name given at his birth — JG]
[NB: acc to Dietz ®28 he was born in Frankfurt, but this is questionable. So far no confirmation found that he has ever been living there]1608/12 Worms: paying “Judenschatzung”
®501610 Worms: on the list of jewish households with wife Rosina and daughter Shönge in the house “Engel”
®501613 december, Worms: postponed payment of the “Einkaufsgeld” he was due as a ‘foreign Jew’
®501617 Petershagen: he seemingly is the same as one “Benedict”, mentioned in a document, as living there and as “Vetter” of Leser Hirsch, the husband of Rosa Wallich [who was a
cousin of Benedict’s wife Rosina]
1618 Witzenhausen: on the list of 6 jewish citizens, paying “Schutzgeld” (protection money) — while most of the others are his possible family members
®35: “Liebman” (seemingly his father), “Schmull Jude” (his uncle?), “Moses
Lewen Sohn” (his brother?) …..
1620 Kassel: paying the highest tax — already mentioned as “Hofjude” (Court Agent) to the Landgraves of Hessen
1625 mentioned as the “Vorsteher” of the Jews in Hessen, being the the successor (after a short interim) of the late Samuel Goldschmidt.
1625 Kassel: his signature
“Bendix Goltschmit Jud” [found in the archives by Dr Rüdiger Kröger] ®351635 in a document
[also found by Kröger] Benedict calls Shmuel Stuckert’s son Jobst Goldschimidt von Stadthagen his “Vetter”.
— NB: this Summary of correct facts has for a great part been gathered and published by Jona Schellekens in several articles ®35, ®50 as well as on the Geni website (last updates 2023 januari) — all with referral to many sources.
1642 or 43 — Benedict died in Kassel and was buried at the Bettenhausen Cemetery
®37 — his wife Rosina died in 1647 and was buried next to him
[on their Tombstone Epitaphs ®37 not all lines are legible, but well enough to conclude that his father’s name was Jehuda-Leib] # children >>
[NB: he must have had more children than followed in this genealogy — about his other daughters is only scarce info, not much more than the names “Gelle” or “Channa”]
