Isaac Hartog Schabracq, buried 5 May 1818 London, England, synagoguescribes.com - Gt Synagogue records - Isaac/Eizak Schabracque, buried 5 May 1818. Address Long Alley Moorfields, son of Hartog Isaac Levie and Caatje Ezechiel Cohen 12 Sep 1754 Benjamin and Samuel Sijmons will supply 3000 carat diamonds yearly to be cleaved, cut, polished etc by Isaac Schabracq and Heyman Philips, These two will supervise the work and receive 3000 guilders per year for that, and the wages fo r the workers. Isaac wasn't of age (25) yet, his father signed the contract too, and declared himself liable for any mistakes or wrongdoings by his son (Notary D vd Brink 10462/1320). This contract lasted till Jun 1762 (Ditto 10528/761). From 1768 untill 1776(?) Isaac had a company in diamonds with Samuel Marc. (Geniets 1768 13630/148, 1771 13687/1971, and 1773 13706/876). In a notarial act before notary Wilthuijsen 1 Apr 1772 Isaac is represented by his brother in law Samuel Marc, as he lived in le Havre at the time. In 1777 he buys two plots of land at the Weesperveld along the Nieuwe Keizersgracht. Eighteen month s later he sells them again. Maybe he had meant to build a house and then changed his plans. The Schabracqs and their father had been involved for years in the diamond trade and -industry in Amsterdam. Also they had strong connections with France, partly because of the Homberg family (sisters Judith and Mariane). The diamond trade was mai nly in the hands of the Dutch and the English, and France wanted part of it. Isaac Schabracq was asked by the Duc de Chartres to come to Paris and set up business there. In 1880 Ezechiel and his brothers Isaac and Emanuel received "des lettre s de naturalitÔe", allowing him, his brothers, family and descendants civil rights. For the first years business went very well, he had rough diamonds from Amsterdam processed in his factory and made big profits. In 1785, to extend the business, with rough diamonds to be imported from Brazil, he acquired new, much larger premises , and more machines. Negotiations with the Portuguese concerning the Brazilian diamonds led to nothing. As a result the factory was at a stand-still , he spent his personal fortune paying the workers. Due to the bad financial situation of Franc e he got no support from his earlier financiers. In July 1887 he fled the country (papers seized after the bankruptcy in the archives nationales). http://richardjeanjacques.blogspot.nl/2013/01/la-manufacture-royale-de-taille-de.shtmll Between 1788 and 1790 he is listed in the London Land Tax Records, being taxed for "a dwelling house, outbuildings and part of a shed" on St Thomas's Street, Whitechapel. In the early 1790's both Joseph and Isaac Schabracq are listed as sons of Hartog Isaac Levy Schabracq, brother of Dyfie Simson (Duifje Levie-Schabracq), on a document concerning the Nathan Simson Charity. On 21 June 1791 there had been an adver t in the London Gazette calling up poor relatives. Isaac's occupation was Starch Maker, living in Moorfields, age "sixty-two or thereabouts". Probably his age was mis-judged or mis-understood, it is doubtful he was over 60. Maybe he was fifty-two? His brothers Ezechiel and Leonard had a starch factory in Amsterdam at the same time, untill 1792. 23 December 1789 Insured: Isaac Schabracq, 120 Greyhound Lane, White Chapel Road, starch maker. Other property or occupiers: Whites Row (Records of Sun Fire Office, London metropolitan archives ref code MS 11936/365/564086). 31 March 1794: Insured: Isaac Shabracq, 2 near Rumbolds Court Long Alley Moorfields, chandler grinder and dealer in hazardous goods (Records of Sun Fire Office, London metropolitan archives ref code MS11936/398/626493). , So far I found no marriage before Isaacs marriage in England, and no mention of a wife. to: NN NN |

1) James Schabracq In the London Land Tax Records a James Shabracq is listed 1803-1819 in the Liberty of Norton Folgate Ward (1808 as Jas, other years just J). Close to Long Alley, where Isaac had his business in 1794 and died in 1818. The surname so rare, he must have been a relative. Since he doesn't appear any earlier, and Isaac doesn't seem to be listed anymore, he could have been a son of Isaac, th e father being the main tenant first, later the son. Untill 1816 J Shabracq was the main tenant of two houses, in 1817 one house listed with J Shabracq, the other with "Late Shabracq". In 1818 just one house, listed "Shabracq", in 1819 that same house listed with "Late Shabracq". It's not quite clea r wether "Late" in this case could, besides deceased, mean something like formerly occupied by. I found no other records to prove the existance of a James or Jacob Schabracq. |

2) Salomon Isaac Schabracq, birth ± 1770, died 3 Aug 1820 Amsterdam, Registered on 5 aug 1820, the death of Salomon Isaac Schabracq, on 3 August at the Batavierstraat, aged 50, dealer in clothes, unmarried son of Isaac Gobetz en Schoontje Schabrak (!). The informants were a neighbour and an acquaintance, who ma
y have mixed up the names? The name Schabracq was unusual, but it is only a guess if he was a son of Isaac Hartog Schabracq. If so, would his mothers name be Schoontje Gobetz? |

In Lewin's "Great Synagogue Marriage Registers" Isaacs name is correctly trans cribed as Schabracq, and Catherine Solomons' Hebrew name as Hilla b Shlomo. Was she the same as Saartje Akkerman, or had there been another Isaac Schabracq somewhere? to: Saartje Salomon Akkerman, birth ± 1746 Thalfang, Germany, died 23 Oct 1822 Amsterdam, Saartje Salomon Akkerman, 76 jr, widow of Isaac Schabracq. Born in Daalvange Germany. See also: Akevoth Ashkenazi Amsterdam in the Eighteenth Century. The surname Akkerman was adopted by her sister, Belitje Salomon in 1812. Saartje and another sister used the same name afterwards. Belitje's second marriage in 1812 (R2/93V) show her parents as Salomon Isaak and Saartje Samson. |
