In the Annual Accounts of Bevis Marks for 5537 and 5538 (1776-1778) there are entries for three individuals in the so-called "Strugglers" lists: Judah Eliezer de Susan and Haim Israel Zeeby in Tishry 5538 and Sebatya Samarian (?) in Tamuz 5538. None of the three appear anywhere else in the Bevis Marks records or accounts, and the amounts they received are relatively high, much higher than the usual relief payments of a few shillings: £3/3/0, £2/2/0 and 3/3/0 respectively. This suggests they may have been emissaries on Shaliah or perhaps visiting rabbis from some other congregation. If so, does anyone recognise the names and can they say where they might have come from?
