In about 1803, Isaac moved to Brooklyn, PA (Susquehanna Co.) with his sons Jacob and Sergent. He and his wife, Judith are buried in the Methodist Cemetery. [1] The family moved to PA from VT (possibly Windsor Co, Blackman isn't clear). Orlando Bagley moved at the same time. [per Blackman]
Isaac and his son Jacob set up a saw mill shortly after moving to PA.

Tewksbury-145 (aka Jacob Tewksbury of Amesbury, MA) may be his father, based on some other trees I've see around the net. Clearly, this will need more data to confirm or deny, but it is a possible lead.
