- CACERES, SIMON (Jacob) DE (d. 1704), English merchant. Born
in Amsterdam, Caceres settled in London before 1656 when professing Jews
were still not officially allowed in England. He apparently made no
secret of his Judaism and urged marranos there to adhere openly to
their religion. His business connections enabled him to advise
cromwell during the conquest of Jamaica. He also suggested a plan
to conquer Chile and offered to raise a Jewish force to fight under
English command. He signed the petition of London Jews asking for
freedom of worship and was responsible with
abraham israel carvajal for the acquisition of the first
congregational cemetery in 1657, but played no further part in the
community's affairs. In 1697, Caceres was among the first 12 Jewish
stockbrokers allowed to trade on the London stock exchange.
