Isaac Pauley was the son of John Pauley and Elizabeth Powell. He was born in 1789 according to the inscription on his gravestone but that date is in conflict with that of his brother Abraham. Nicholas County, Kentucky, tax records indicate Isaac was born c. 1785, not 1789. He died in middle age in 1833 in Monroe County, Indiana.
Isaac's wife was Sarah Paugh whom he married in Nicholas County, Kentucky, in 1811. Around 1818 they moved to Monroe County, Indiana, where they are found in the federal census of 1820 with his brother Abraham.
Sarah did not remarry after Isaac's death. She appears in the 1850 census heading a household with four adult children.
James B M Pauley, b. 1822
Garrison Pauley, b. 1826
Arabella J Pauley, b. 1830
Marisa E Pauley, b. 1832
Another likely son Hiram, b. 1810-20, is found living next to Sarah in 1840.
