Excerpt from The Jewish Woman in America The dreadful tribunal spared neither age nor sex, and so we find old women, like Dona Catalina Enriquez of Vera Cruz, con demmed as Jewish heretics, at the age of eighty. She died in her cell September 25, 1644. At the trial of Gabriel of Grenada, which took place in the City of Mexico in 1642, no less than thirty-four Jewish women are mentioned, several of these are described as having died in prison, others as tortured by the Inquisition. As several of the fam ily names subsequently appear in the his tory of our thirteen colonies, it may not be amiss to mention a few of the names of such victims: Dona Blanca Mendes de Rivera, Beatrice Henriquez, Clara de Sylva, Maria Gomez, Isabel Nunez and others.
