General Notes: Husband - Jakob Cohn

---

Merchant. HIs birth and death dates are taken from the book Szkize genealogiczne by Kazimierz Reychman. According to this book "Jakob Kon" was a participant in the 1863-64 January Uprising. He was in the cavalry and won the French military meda l for bravery, the "Madaille Militaire." It also describes him as a "Marymontczyk" presumably meaning he was a graduate of the school of agronomy at Marymont, near Warsaw. He was married to Eliza Rozental, daughter of Doctor Dawid Rosental, wh o was himself a professor at the school of agronomy. They were married on January 27, 1857. Jakob Kon and Eliza Rozental are listed in Reychman's book under the Rozental family, and he does not give the names of Jakob Kon's parents.

After the Uprising Jakob Cohn went to Paris. On May 10, 1865 he was granted the right to reside in Paris and to enjoy civil rights whole residing there [source: Belletin des lois de l'empire francais, vol. 26, page 887]. There he is called "Jac ques Cohn, merchant, born in Varsovie, living in Paris (Seine)" and his date of birth is geven as Dec. 3, 1832. This is the same day as that given by Reychman but the year is different. HIs brother Stanislaw Cohn also went to Paris and was grant ed the right to live in Paris at the same time.

On October 4, 1868, Jakob (Jacques) Cohn was granted the rights of a French citizen.

According to the book Wolnomularze polscy i w kraju na swiecie, 1821-1999; Slownik biograficzny by Ludwik Hass - a biographical dictionary about Poles who belonged to the Freemasons - Jakob Cohn applied as a candidate for admission to the Mount Si nai Lodge of the Freemasons in Paris "before Jan. 13, 1864 during a short-lived [or transient or passing] arrival" in the city. This seems to imply he didn't stay in Paris permanently at this early date. Hass gives Jakob Cohn's birth date as Apr il 4, 1831.
