Moziek Bynard (Morris Binnard), 1809-1878
Mosiek3 Bynard (Jacob2, Lewin1) was born 7 May 1809 at Rypin, Poland.[1] He married Jerochma Wolenberg, daughter of Gedalie and Ruchla Wolenberg, on 15 February 1834 at Rypin. She was born about 1812 in Rypin. Rabbi Lewin Siembrych officiated at the wedding, with Szmul Zylbersztejn and Leyzer Reych signing as witnesses.[2] Moziek was wool cloth maker, as was his brother, Bendek/Bendet.[3]
About 1847, Moziek and his family immigrated to America. It is not known exactly when they left, but their son Abram, born 1834 according to records of Rypin,[4] is said to have been 13 at the time.[5] The family has not been found on the 1850 United States census.
In 1860 the couple was in Buffalo, New York, listed on the census as Maurice and Julia Benard. They were living with their daughter and son-in-law, Jacob and Sarah Barmon. Maurice was working as a tailor, probably for his son-in-law, and had $200 in personal estate and no real estate. The couple’s daughter, called Jenett, age 7, born New York, was living with them.[6] They are probably the same family enumerated on the previous page as James and Julia Binard, born Poland, with children Bernard, 15, and Jennette, age 5.[7] A misunderstanding by the census taker may have led to the listing of James, the couple’s son, as head of household. Bernard was their son Bennett.
The 1865 New York state census shows Morris Binnard living in Buffalo with his wife "Ulia," 11-year-old daughter Jennette, and Benhard Friedman, a boarder whose occupation was clerk. The spelling "Ulia" gives us an idea of how Julia's name was pronounced. Morris's occupation was "dealer." They were living in the same brick building with the family of his son, Abraham Binnard, whose occupation was "ready made clothing," and the family of Levi Lamkoweich, a cabinet maker from Poland. In all, 13 people were living in the building, which was valued at $7,500. Abraham was the only one who had been naturalized.[8] The address of the house was probably 19 Main, which is where Abraham Binnard was living according to the 1865 city directory of Buffalo. Morris is not listed in the directory that year.[9]
Five years later the 1870 census lists "Moses Binard" in Buffalo with $200 in personal estate and no occupation. His wife Julia Binard and daughter Jeanette, age 15, are also living in the household.[10]
Listings for Maurice/Morris or Julia Binnard in Buffalo city directories between 1862 and 1877:
1862 Binnard, Maurice, clothing store, 116 Main, h. 36 Exchange[11]
1863 Binard, Morris, variety store, 397 Main[12]
1866 Binnard, Morris, clerk, h. 19 Main[13]
1868 Binnard, Julia, hoop skirts, 58 Seneca, h. 565 Main[14]
1871 Binnard, Morris, peddler, h. over 39 Main[15]
1872 Binnard, Maurice, h. 39 Main[16]
1873 Binnard, Morris, h. 46 Main[17]
1874 Binnard, Maurice, h. 46 Main[18]
1877 Binnard, Morris, h. 17 Beak[19]
Morris Binnard applied for citizenship at Buffalo on 10 May 1870, renouncing his allegiance to the Emperor of Russia. Caleb Putnam and Gotlieb Rayman appeared as witnesses. He was naturalized on 9 October 1872.[20] On the same day, he applied for a passport. In the application he stated that he had been born in Rypin, Russia, Europe on or about the 25 day of September 1805 and that he was a naturalized citizen. He is described as 67 years old, 5 feet 5 inches tall, with a high forehead, blue eyes, a large nose, a medium mouth, a round chin, dark brown hair, a fair complexion, and an oval face.[21]
Morris is probably the Moses Binard who died 3 April 1878 and is buried in lot 61, grave site 1, Temple Beth El Cemetery in Buffalo. His marker is not legible.[22] In 1990, the Erie County Surrogate’s Court reported that they had no records on file for his estate.[23]
Julia left Buffalo after her husband’s death. In 1880 she lived with her bachelor brother-in-law, Birka Binnard, in the mining town of Mt. Idaho, Idaho. Also living with them were Julia’s daughter and son-in-law, Mark and Jennie (Jeanette) Greenburg and their children, and Julia’s grandson, Aaron S. Binnard.[24] She may also have lived in Detroit. In 1884 the Buffalo newspaper The Evening Republic lists Julia Binnard of Detroit as a creditor in the bankruptcy of Abraham F. Cohen, milliner of Buffalo.[25] She is probably the Mrs. Julia Binnard living at 106 Swan in the 1884 Buffalo city directory.[26]
In 1891 Julia went to Chicago to live with her daughter and son-in-law, Mark and Jennie Greenburg, whose residence was 3551 Cottage Grove Avenue.[27] She died there on 22 April 1892 at the age of 85. Her death was caused by chronic asthma, bronchitis, and heart failure. According to her death certificate she is buried in Waldheim Cemetery in Chicago.[28]
