Haym Salomon (ca. 1740 - 1785)
Haym Salomon (also Solomon April 7, 1740 – January 6, 1785) was a Polish-born American Jewish businessman and political financial broker who immigrated to New York from Poland during the period of the American Revolution. He helped convert the French loans into ready cash by selling bills of exchange forRobert Morris, the Superintendent of Finance. In this way he aided the Continental Army and was possibly, along with Morris, the prime financier of the American side during the American Revolutionary War against Great Britain.[1]

Possibly as a result of his purchases of government debt, Salomon died penniless in 1785.
