Early life


Henry Weston Cardozo was born in September 1830. Cardozo's mother, Lydia Weston, was a former slave of African American and Native American ancestry. His father, Isaac Nunez Cardozo, was Sephardic Jewish of Portuguese descent. He was the eldest sibling and had two sisters, Lydia and Eslander. His younger brothers, Francis Lewis Cardozo and Thomas W. Cardozo, were educators and also became politicians during the Reconstruction era. Their father, Isaac Cardozo, died in 1855. Henry was working as a shoemaker by age 14. He also worked as a carpenter and shipbuilder. He apprenticed with a manufacturer of threshing machines.
In 1855, he married Catherine F. McKinney in Charleston, South Carolina. His sister Eslander married Catherine's brother Christopher McKinney. In June 1858, he and his family (wife, son, mother, two sisters, brother-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, nephew) left Charleston aboard the steamship Nashville on the way to New York. According to the 1860 census, his mother and sisters were living together in Cleveland, Ohio, and Henry worked as a tailor in that city while living with his wife and their sons Isaac (age 4) and William (age 1).
