Had there been another Eva Cohen and Meijer Rintel from Amsterdam? Or did her children not know of this marriage? to:

D.E. Cohen, in his Geschiedenis van de familie Cohen mentions she married her brother in law Moses Joseph de Jong after her first husband died. No further details. As children with Meijer Joseph he only lists Ezechiel, Izak, Pierette and Lion .
It is very clear in the testament of.Meijers parents (Notaris Geniets, 1758, act 92) that they only had one son, Meijer, and one daughter, Pes.
When daughter Sara married in Nov 1770 and son Ezechiel in Sep 1771 Eva was living in Metz. On 16 Nov 1769 an Eve Cahen, widow of Mayer Rintel from Amsterdam married Jacob Elie Terquem.
However, in the notarial acts between 1764 and 1772 concerning her children receiving their fathers inheritance, Eva is described as "Eva Ezechiel Cohen formerly widow of Meijer Joseph de Jonge, now wife of MOSES JOSEPH". On 11 Nov 1772 a not e in the margin of one of those documents states that she had died by then.
