(info from contributor Hallie Garrison) from the book titled: The Moise Family of South Caroline, An Account of the Life and Descendants of Abraham and Sarah Moise who settled in Charleston, South Carolina, in the year 1791 A.D., by Harold Moise, printed by the R. L. Bryan Company, Columbia, S.C. 1961; copyright by Harold Moise, 1961
"Born in Charleston, July 8, 1810, Cardelia was the younger daughter of Cherry Moise and Esther Moses. She married Dr. Philip Melvin Cohen of Charleston in 1832 and by him had eleven children. She died in Charleston in 1869. She is remembered by her gift for poetry. She wrote a series of hymns for Congregation Beth Elohim which supplemented those of her aunt Penina Moise. Cordelia, keen in wit and repartee, was the center of a brilliant circle of admirers. She suffered bitterly from poverty and anxiety during the War Between the States, her physician husband in the service of the Confederacy, her family scattered. They were in Columbia when that city was burned by Sherman."
