Isaac Salomon Cohen, died ± 16 Dec 1706 Amsterdam, Itzek Zalman kohen buried at Muiderberg on 11 te 5467, Impost: 16 Dec 1706 Isaacq Salomon Cohijn 3.-, son of Salomon Eljakum Cohen and Egla Jacob Norden
Was part of the tobacco company of his father Salomon and his brothers Ezechiel and Jacob.

According to D.E. Cohen, De geschiedenis van de familie Cohen Isaac was active in Wageningen. He married Hester van Bentem, and had children Moses, Salomon, Godert, Judith and an unnamed daughter. The three sons sold their late father's seat in th e synagogue to their uncle Ezechiel. Both Judith and the other daughter received a marriage gift of 350 gld from their uncle and guardian Ezechiel when they married.

D.E. Cohen also devotes a large, detailed chapter to the "English Cohens". This is what he writes:
Isaacs son Salomon married abt 1718 and was the father of Barend, who married abt 1740. His sons Salomon and Levy Barent Cohen went to England around 1770. Levy Barent Cohen first married Fanny Diamantschleifer, later her sister Lydia (Liebe), dau ghters of Joseph Diamantschleifer, merchant from Amsterdam. One of his daughters (Hannah) married Nathan Mayer Rothschild, another daughter (Judith) married Sir Moses Montefiore.
In the book "Nathan Mayer Rothschild And The Creation Of A Dynasty: The Critical Years ..." by Herbert H. Kaplan, Benjamin Cohen from Amersfoort (Benjamin Jonas Cohen) is mentioned as "an older cousin". If they were related, he would have bee n a second cousin once removed ....
Akevoth's Ashkenazi Amsterdam in the Eighteenth Century shows different facts, and no relationship at all: Levi Barent's brother Chaim (he and his wife Sjeine in Amsterdam are mentioned in Levy's will) was born in 1734, too early to be this Isaac' s gt grandson.
