Have you sent a message to the Jewish Genealogical Society? They have been working very hard on Jews in America and their history. You can find them on Cyndi's site of genealogical sources. There is a Jewish cemetery in Savannah. I would suspect your man could be buried there. Also would suggest looking at the Minis family and others who were prominent in Savannah as they would most likely have had contact either socially or in business manner with Joseph. Also in South Carolina there was a Francis Salvador who was Jewish and was a patriot in the American Revolutionary War. They may have had contact also since Savannah and Charleston are near each other and by boat easy travel. If Joseph remained a Jew, the synagogue in Charleston may have him in their records also. The term catechist has thrown me off regarding Joseph. Tree Mother "She is insane, of course. The family history has become a mania for her."

Hi, Sorry i should've mentioned in my previous email, Joseph Ottolenghe converted from his Jewish religion to be a Christian. He instructed/taught Christianity in Georgia (Catechist). So i would be very surprised if he had a Jewish burial or is mentioned in American Jewish records. Thankyou for your thoughts on where i might find information.
