Person:Solomon Goldstone (3)

Address: 2343 ---th Mole Ln

Philadelphia PA

from Shary Mitchell Bove: Also, Mother still insists, as Nano also did, that Solomon was Jewish and that the family feud was over his marrying a gentile. The story goes that his family dug up his grave in the Christian graveyard and moved him to a Jewish graveyard which provoked the change from Goldstone to Wetherill by Blanche. I wonder if you might have access to the burial records of the Jewish cemetaries in Phil.? The plot thickens, however, when we discovered that there was a Goldstone who was the prior of Canterbury Cathedral and there is actually his emblem next to the entry into the cathedral with three gold stones in a container engraved in the wall. Of course, it's pretty doubtful that a Jew would hold a high office in Canterbury Cathedral :-)
