summary

A native of Bordeaux, France, Benjamin Nones arrived in Philadelphia about 1777, just in time to take up arms in the Revolutionary War. During the siege of Savannah, he received a certificate for gallant conduct on the field of battle (December 15, 1779). After the war, he entered into a business partnership with Haym Solomon. In 1791, Nones was elected Parnas of Philadelphia's Congregation Mikveh Israel. (See JE, Vol. IX, p. 330)
