Research Notes

Please note many of the grand children of Isaac have been added as children or just don't belong to him. This needs to be corrected before they can be added. It's highly unlikely he and his wife had children passed their 50's some of the suggested children would have put them passed 70.

Issac's birth date is an estimate, as he had to be at least 21 when he purchased estate October 25, 1745 from Thomas Smith (p 45-459). The court order to record said estate is dated June 17, 1746. So his birth is before October 25, 1724. Others suggest the date of birth to be about 1717.
