(14)   Underneath this stone lies interred the body of Mrs. Esther deCordova who departed this life 23rd May, 1794.  Aged 40 years.

Hebrew followed by Portuguese, viz:-Aquy Jaze o Revezendisimo Insigne and Venerado SR. H.H.A.M.V.R.  Jeofush Hisquiau deCordova Haham de K.K. Shehar Ashamaim em Kingston de K.K. Neve Shalom em Spanish Town and de K.K.

S.B.A.G.D.E.G.

(Sua Bendita Alma Goze Dia Eterna Gloria).
The Century Dictionary, 1914 Edition, gives the spelling as Outubre).
The translation in English is as follows: -(S .. a ve Sepultura--Tomb). Here lies the Very Reverend, distinguished and Venerater Mr. H. H.A.M.V.R. Jeosuah Hisquian deCordova, Haham of the K.K. Shehar Ashamaim in Kingston of the K.K. Neve Shalom in Spanish Town and of the K.K. Neve Sedek in Port Royal in the Island of Jamaica.  He served these three Congregations (Kehelot) 44 years.  Died in the second feast (Seyra), being the 12th of Tishree in the year 5558, which corresponds to the 2nd October, 1797, at the age of seventy-seven years and seven months.

S.B.A.G.D.E.G.

The tomb is adjacent to the northern boundary of the wall. It was in splendid condition (December 1934), only one brick being loose.

Note:- The letters S . . a at the head possibly mean "Sepultura" i.e. tomb-- For the first lines begin with the genitive Do Of the.
It is a Portuguese custom to call or address and person of standing as "Excellency."
The letters K.K. no doubt mean Kehelot and are doubled as a sign of the plural, i.e. Congregation.
In the last instance the letters are equivalent to:- "Sua Alma Goze Dia Gloria."
These Portuguese words mean "May His Soul enjoy divine Glory." The interpretation in the two other instances is probably much the same. This form (i.e. the third instance) is used on graves in the ancient cemetery of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews of London; and on graves in Holland and Barbados. I am indebted to the kindness of the Very Revd. Dr. J. H. Hertz, the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregation of the British Empire, for the foregoing information.
The word "Haham" (lit. wise), is the term applied by the Oriental Jews, and the Sephardim or Spanish and Portuguese Jews to their Chief Rabbi. It is variously spelt when transcribed into English or other languages, as, e.g., Chacham, Ccahkam, Cacam, Jaxam (old Spanish). It is a title at least eighteen hundred years old.

Note:- There are also many tombstones at Spanish Town and in other Jewish Cemeteries in Jamaica with the initial letters S.A.G.D.E.G. and S.A.G.D.G. respectively at the foot of the inscriptions. The Haham's only son was buried in the Orange Street Cemetery Kingston).

How love valued once, avails (thee not)

A heap of dust, alone remains of thee
'Tis all thou art, and all the Proud shall be

(21)   In memory of Aaron Baruch Lousada.  Died February 1803. Aged 25 years and 6 months. (See note relating to this family below):-

NOTE:-- The Lousada Family of Peak House held for many generations large possessions in Jamaica.  A Member of the Family was created Duke de Lousada and Marquis di San Miniato.  It is the only Jewish Family that has held so exalted a title until Lord Reading was created Marquis in 1926.  Its members claim to be descendants of the original Spanish Grandees of that name.  In 1843 Emanuel Baruch Lousada, was made High Sheriff of Devon: He subscribed to two copied of the first edition of the Dr. D. A. DeSolas' "Book of Prayer and Order of Service."
The Lousada family inter-married in the Macatta family. Although the latter named family have no Jamaican connection, it may be of interest to state that it is one of the earliest of the re-settlers in England.
