Biography

Isaac was born to William and Sarah Vowles Odell in Rye in about 1675, one of twins. ^{[1][2] [3][3]} Some other sources estimate 1665.

Isaac Odell married Anna Tompkins, likely in her hometown of Eastchester where they settled, perhaps 1692.^{[1] [3]} Other sources suggest 1695 but three births before the 1698 census makes 1692 appear more likely.

Isaac and Anna Odell had:^[3][1]

• Isaac, b. 1693
• William, b. 1695
• Tomkins, b. 1697
• Nathaniel, b. 1705
• Jonathan, b. 1705
• Joshua, b. 1707

and, one suspects, a daughter or three.

In the census of 1698, Isaac is listed as head of a household that included his wife Anna and sons Isaac, William, and Tomkins, plus Deborah Tomkins, presumed to be the daughter of the late Nathaniel Tomkins, Anna's youngest sister.^[3]

In a 1710 census of men of military age in Eastchester, Isaac is listed (as Isaac Oadele), age 35^[4] Thus, he died after that, possibly much later. Some genealogies have misinterpreted that 1710 age record as a death notice.
