Similarly, Alfasi writes that he died before 5680 (c. 1920). Vunder also cites as mistaken (with no explanation) the date given byShem ha-gedolim ha-shelishi, 5647 (c. 1887—as inDor va-dor ve-dorshav). However, Rebbe Tovia is mentioned as deceased as early as 1899 (Dor va-dor ve-dorshav) and again in 1905 (Gezaʻ Tarshishim).[24] In addition, in accordance withAshkenazi customs, he must have died before the birth, inc. 1893, of his grandson of the same given name, Rebbe Tovia Horowitz of Sunik.

^Apparently of his mother; see dates of death given for his father
^Both sources cited name him "Asher Yeshaya", but in all three of his works (which he published himself), and in his approbations (e.g.Ṭaʻame mitsṿot (טעמי מצות), Przemyśl, 1888), and in his facsimile autograph signature,[29] he signs his name as "Asher" only.
^Son of Rabbi Yisrael Asher Frankel of Bnei Brak,[33] whose mother, Chava, was Rebbe Tzvi Chaim's daughter.[31]
^Not to be confused with his cousin, Rebbe Avraham Simcha Horowitz of Melitz, son of Rebbe Yisrael of Melitz-Dzikov (see theMelitz branch), who also lived in Jerusalem.
^About a week before his father, and not in 1874 [as inha-Ḥasidut mi-dor le-dor].[70]
^According to Vunder,[70] he was the son of Rebbe Yaakov Yosef's second wife; according to his entry inOhole Shem (Pinsk, 1912), his maternal grandfather was Rebbe Leibush Neuhaus, his father's first father-in-law.[72]
^Alfasi[39] and Vunder[76] write that his first wife was Sosha, daughter of Rebbe Naftali Horowitz of Melitz, Rebbe Yisrael's brother. However, this contradicts Rebbe Yosef David's own testimony as cited. Also, Sosha, daughter of Rebbe Naftali of Melitz, is known to have been the wife of a different Rebbe Yosef David of Sassov—Rebbe Yosef David Majer (a cousin of the former);[78] furthermore, Sosha, her husband and children died in the Holocaust,[78] while Rebbe Yosef David Rubin died in 1983, as mentioned above.
^Alfasi[39] and Vunder[51] enumerate among Rebbe Mendel of Glogov's sons a Rebbe Yehoshua of Chirov, whose existence has been described as "according toMeʼore Galitsyah".[81] Even Vunder[82] mentions Rebbe Yehoshua only in reference to his son, Rebbe Avraham Yitzchak, therebbe of Chirov, who died in the Holocaust. In his later works,[83] however, Vunder writes (citing Rebbe Avraham Yitzchak's descendants) that Rebbe Avraham Yitzchak of Chirov was the son of Rebbe Asher Yeshaya of Stashov. (So too in the pages of testimony submitted by his descendants toYad Vashem.)[84] Thus, unless there were tworebbes in Chirov named Avraham Yitzchak Rubin who died in the Holocaust, "Rebbe Yehoshua of Chirov" did not exist.
