W. Korn, 1969). It was with Jacob Florence that the famous Judah Benjamin first made his home when he arrived in New Orleans in 1828 after leaving Yale College. Pamphlet itemizes and describes various parcels of land and real estate in New Orleans and environs divided up among seven various Florence heirs (all bearing that same last surname) coming from diverse cities and countries, including Phila., N.Y.
