Note

Simon is definitely part of the family, because his sons are cousins(Vetter) of Benedikt Senior. But his father's name is not mentionedanywhere. Cohen (1996, p. 489) thinks that he is a son of Herz Kassel(IIIa). This hypothesis is supported by the name of Simon's daughter,Buna, who was probably named after her paternal grandmother Bunla. Ifthis is correct then Simon was named after his grandfather and born after1658. However, there is one difficulty: his son Benedict junior ismentioned as a cousin of Benedikt Senior instead of his nephew. However,in the past 'Vetter' could also be a distant relative.

In 1680 Simon Goldschmidt was OberVorsteher. In 1690, when Herz wasappointed (again) as Leader of the Jews in Hessen-Kassel, Simon wasappointed as collector (goveh). In 1711/14 he is again mentioned as acollector (CAHJP, notes of Daniel Cohen). In 1694 Simon Kassel wasappointed colector of charity for the Holy Land in all of Hessen (Cohen1996, p. 487-89). In 1706 Simon was in Amsterdam for his son's wedding(Prijs 1936). In 1722 Simon Goldschmidt's widow had a private teacherliving in (Schnee 1954, p. 326). Simon probably died in 1714. ToDay histombstone only mentions his first name and the date of death, but next tohim lie the wife of Shimon Segal and Jecheskiyahu (=Hesse) ben Shimonha-Levi.
