Isaac graduated from Princeton University in 1808. He received the degree of MD from College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York in 1812. He continued his medical studies with Dr David Hosack until 1820; however Isaac never actually practiced having the inability to "bear the sight of human suffering." His passion was farming and when his father purchased Mount Hope in Hyde Park, Isaac left New York City to live there permanently.[4]In 1832, Isaac built Rosedale, close to his father's home where he enjoyed country life with his wife and sons. He is the paternal grandfather of U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
