When Jonathan Hager built his home and founded Elizabethtown, Maryland in 1742, Jews were living in the western portion of Maryland. A number of Jewish traders from Philadelphian Jewish families were active here already. The best known to us were Levi Cohen and his partner Henry Lazarus who were conducting business in Frederick and Elizabethtown, Maryland. Western Maryland was then part of the farthest outreach of the Philadelphia trading network.
