Biography

This profile is part of the Little Britain, Ontario One Place Study.

Isaiah was born in 1849 to James Rodman and Ann Thomas. He was the eldest of seven known children. An 1848 marriage record for James Rodman and Ann Thomas in Mariposa Township suggest Issac and siblings were born in Mariposa. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

Isaiah Rodman married Eliza Ann Culbert in 1872, in Mariposa. They settled at Mariposa where they farmed and had four children. ^{[5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]}

Eliza and Isaiah moved west to farm at Carroll Manitoba, with adult children Sidney (26), Elizabeth (29) and Charles (21). In the 1906 Census of prairie provinces the family is shown working land at 13-7-20-W1 (sec-twp-rge-mer)(census also shows they had 13 horses, 3 cows, 3 pigs). ^[13]

In 1911 the family is found at Humboldt, Saskatchewan; Isaiah and Elizabeth with son Charlie; daughter Elizabeth and her husband Linton Suggitt and daughter Myrtle; Clarence and wife Mabel; and son William with wife Annie Mark and son Floyd; all on adjoining lands (twp 27, Rge 25, W2nd) they applied for a homestead Grant for land located at NW18-27-24-2 (Municipality of Imperial, Saskatchewan). The 1916 Prairie census shows Isaiah and Ann on land at 27-25-2 and their childrens' families on land adjacent. ^{[14] [15] [16]}

Isaiah died in January 1920, age 70, and is buried at Imperial Cemetery with wife Eliza (d.1928). ^{[17] [18]}

Research Notes

FamilySearch profile: Isaiah Rodman KLV6-XVV

Findagrave had 1928 as birth year; headstone looks like 1920, probate records confirm 1920. Contacted Findagrave profile manager to correct (Feb 18 2024)
