Cristãos-novos na colonização de Savannah, USA
Boa noite,
Um dos problemas que a comunidade judaica enfrentou no Séc. XVIII era a imensa pobreza de seus membros. A Comunidade de Amsterdã tida como rica, numa população de 2800 sefaradis sustentava a metade porque estes eram pobres (dos 20304 ashkenases, 17500 eram mendigos). Em Londres não era diferente. Uma solução encontrada pela elite dirigente foi pagar a passagem dos "industrious" poor que tinham potencial de ganhar a vida, para outros locais em desenvolvimento.
Nesta política, Amsterdã mandou muita gente para o Caribe.
Em 1773 soube-se da colonização do futuro estado da Geórgia. Aceitava-se voluntários, menos “papistas” e “escravos”. Assim os membros mais ricos da sinagoga de Londres, Moses da Costa, Joseph Rodrigues de Siqueira e Jacob Israel Suasso, pagaram o transporte dos judeus londrinos abaixo nomeados, recém expatriados de Portugal, para irem viver na América.
O começo foi difícil. Mas graças ao talento e esforço eles tornaram-se a elite do Judaísmo americano até o século XX – o segundo judeu a chegar a Suprema Corte foi descendente deste grupo: Benjamin Nathan Cardozo (1870-1938).
Eis a lista dos imigrantes de 1733 (cf. Third to None. The saga of Savannah Jewry. 1733-1983, do Rabino Saul Jacob Rubin):
· Dr. Samuel Nunez (Diogo Nunes Ribeiro, * Penamacor, 1668. Processo Inquisitorial nº 2367, 1704)
· Zipporah Nunez (mãe)
· Moses Nunez (Manuel Nunes Ribeiro, 1700-1787). Filho do Dr. Nunez. Tenente e interprete do governo junto as tribos locais. Há dele uma descendência mulata.
· Daniel Nunez (André Nunes Ribeiro, 1710-1789). Filho do Dr. Nunez. Oficial da alfândega e interprete do governo (1736)
· Sipra, corruptela de Zipporah Nunez (Maria Caetana da Veiga, 1714-1799). Filha do Dr. Nunez. Casada com o Rabino David Mendes Machado (1695-1747), português de nascimento. O casal tem como bisnetos: o Comodore Uriah Phillips Levy (1792-1862) e Mordecai Manuel Noah (1785-1851), considerado pelos especialista como o judeu mais importante do Século XIX.
· Abraham de Lyon (Leão). Português de nascimento. Casado com a filha do Dr. Nunez. Introduziu a uva na agricultura americana.

Caro P. Valadares:
Uma pergunta somente (ou duas):
O apelido "Delmonte" que repetidamente aparece na sua lista não será por acaso uma corruptela de "Belmonte"?
Do mesmo, "de Pass" não será "de Passos"?

Cara Lecticia:
De facto "de Passos" é apelido de muitas famílias cristãs-novas e judaicas da diáspora e consequentemente também de muitas pessoas que foram perseguidas pelo Santo Ofício. É um apelido de origem toponímica derivado da freguesia de Passos, concelho de Mirandela. A sua adopção por famílias judaicas e cristãs-novas não é de estranhar dada a entrada em Portugal, em fins do século XV, de grande número de judeus espanhois pelas fronteeiras de Miranda e Bragança.

Cara Lecticia:
A hipótese que eu lhe sugiro é que o apelido "de Passis" seja na realidade o apelido "de Passos" tendo alguém em algum momento confundido e trocado um "o" por um "i".
Já agora, até onde vão os meus conhecimentos, "Lopes" é também apelido de uma bisavó minha, do lado materno, e também de uma sétima avó, esta pelo lado paterno, ambas do distrito de Bragança, a primeira do concelho de Alfândega da Fé e a segunda do concelho de Mirandela.
