Estate Documents of Isaac Eliezer Israel: Appointment of Administrators and Account of Assets and Debts, 1818-1819

Two estate documents pertaining to Isaac Eliezer Israel. The first document, dated June 18, 1818, is an appointment of administrators for Israel's estate, naming Michael E. Cohen, Abram L. Hart, and Richard Roe as administrators. The appointment was requested by Michael E. Cohen, brother of the deceased. The second document, dated December 15, 1819, is a two-sided ledger sheet detailing the assets, debts, and expenses of the estate, including burial expenses. The documents indicate that Isaac Israel's debts were settled at 20 cents on the dollar. Note: Some confusion arises in names; Michael Eliezer Cohen is the brother of Isaac Eliezer Israel; his grandfather was a Cohen, and he adopted that surname. (See Malcolm Stern, pg. 128).
