Mr. and Mrs. Charles Tobias

The second child of Tobias Tobias and Rebecca Levy Tobias, Charles was born in Liverpool, England. His father moved to New York around 1816, and Rebecca, Charles and four siblings, including Harriet and Fanny, followed around 1820. Once settled in New York, two more Tobias children would be born, including Isaac.

No records exist of Charles having married, and thus no way to identify the woman here identified only as Mrs. Charles Tobias. One possibility is that she was mis-recorded as Charles’ wife, and, in fact, the woman is his younger sister Sophia, who herself never married, and with whom Charles was very close, the two of them having taken several trips together.

Charles traveled frequently, both for business, as a merchant, and to travel. He died in Geneva, Switzerland.
