Very little is known about this man. Until fAG's "Mom" located his grave we did not even know under which name he was interred, as Massachusetts records list him variously as:
Henry Fienburg
Nesau Finebury
Nisau Finebery
Nisan Finebery, and a census in NY listed him as
Henry Feinbach
His religious name was Nisen ben Yitzhak (Nisen son of Isaac).
He had a short tragic life: marriage, immigration in steerage, worked as a peddler, two daughters born, then a third who died of infantile cholera before she was 2. Then the birth of a son, followed by his own death 2 months later, at 32, of typhoid and pneumonia!
Ironically, his son Joseph also died young at 29, of a ruptured appendix, six months before the birth of his second child. Josephine A Davis. And poor Josephine died at 9 months.
