Background note

Simon Gratz (1773-1839) a merchant, with his business partner and brother Hyman, took over their

father's and uncle's business, B & M Gratz, in 1798. The firm continued trading with the Indians and

speculating lands westward, particularly along the Ohio River and in Kentucky. With lands inherited

from Aaron Levy, Simon laid out the town of Gratz, Pennsylvania in 1805. He speculated in coal-rich

land in Bear Gap in 1825. An active philanthropist, he was one of the founders of the Pennsylvania

Academy of Fine Arts, a director of the Pennsylvania Botanical Garden, and a trustee of Congregation

Mikveh Israel. Married to Mary Smith, they had eight children, four lived to adulthood.

Hyman Gratz (1776-1857), merchant and philanthropist, started his business career in 1798 as a partner

with his brother Simon in the family firm. He later turned his attention to the insurance business and

banking. Also with his brother Simon, he was one of founders of the Pennsylvania Academy of the

Fine Arts. He was the manager of the Jewish Publication Society and treasurer (1824-1856) of the

Congregation Mikveh Israel in Philadelphia. His deed of trust in 1856, later established a Hebrew

teaching school which became Gratz College. He remained unmarried.

Joseph Gratz (1785-1858) and his brother Jacob Gratz (1789-1856) continued the management of the

family business of land speculating, coastal shipping, and dry good supplies as their older brothers,

Simon and Hyman, took to other business ventures. Each brother also served on the board of directors

of the Philadelphia Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb. Joseph and his sister Rebecca

were particular friends of the author Washington Irving. These brothers remained unmarried.

Benjamin Gratz (1792-1884), the youngest of Michael and Miriam Gratz children, was one of the first

Jewish settlers in Kentucky. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, his knowledge of the law

helped protect his family's business interests. He was a close friend of Henry Clay into whose family

his daughter Anna married. His first wife was Maria Cecil Gist. They had six children, three lived to

adulthood. Benjamin's second wife was Anna Maria Boswell Shelby. They had three children, two lived

to adulthood.
