Research Notes

From this will, it is clear that his daughter Anna had died without issue. (Essex Co. Probate).3 ...This leaves us with the conclusion that Isaiah did marry 14 Feb. 1762 Glocester, RI, ANNE WOOD, b. 16 Feb. 1742 Glocester; dau. of William and Anna (Collins) Wood of Warwick and Glocester, RI. Ann's brother John Wood is also listed in the 1770 Sackville census. The following deeds make it appear that they left for NS about the summer of 1763. ..." ^[5]
