Phebe Yates was one of eight children born to Samuel and Martha Yates of Liverpool, England. The Yates family was very prominent in trade and Jewish life in Liverpool, and her uncle, Benjamin, served as the head of the Jewish community there.
In 1817 two young American men from Charleston, South Carolina, came through Liverpool. Both of them— Joshua Lazarus and Jacob Clavius Levy— fell in love, not with Phebe, but with her younger sister, Fanny. Levy ended up marrying her, and the couple moved back to Charleston. It would be nearly twenty years before Phebe was married, and, indeed, to Joshua Lazarus.
At forty-one she moved with her new husband to South Carolina. They were very active in Jewish life in Charleston and were very close to Joshua's sister Emma. They had one child, Edgar Marks. [4]
