Octavus Cohen (1814-76) was the son a Charleston Jewish family with pre-Revolutionary roots. His grandfather was Moses Cohen (1709-62) of London, a “learned Jew” as his epitaph reads, who acted as the rabbi in Beth Elo-him, Charleston’s first synagogue. Octavus was a commission merchant, selling cotton to the North. During the Civil War he served in the Confederate Army as quartermaster of Georgia troops.
