Born c. 1850[1]
In or near Vilnius, Lithuania
Children Sarah Myrtle Caplan[2]

A document of Nancy Robins' lists Sarah Myrtle Caplan's father as "Reb Harav Yehiel Beinush HaCohen"[3]. "Reb" is sometimes an honorific title, and "Harav" means "the Rabbi". Given that Vilnius was an extremely important center of Jewish culture in the 19th century, Yeheil, being a rabbi there, was likely a well-known and important person.
