Mary Ann,
I can't remember just now where I got the birth date of Isaac. It's here
somewhere, but it was Jul 1787. Isaac is on the 1850 census of Perry Co. IL
and listed as age 63. I know that ages are not always exact on the census
but surprisingly his and his wife's are. She is listed as 64 and her birth
date is in her father's Pension Record. It fits.
Isaac is also on the 1840 census of Perry Co. IL.
Isaac also gave a one page statement in his father-in-law's Pension Record
on 4th of July 1844. I was very excited because it has his signature on it.
I do not know just when he died but it was after 1850. In 1860 his wife
Sarah is living with one of her daughters and family. Isaac died before
1860. By the way the death date of 2 Sep 1840 is when Isaac's father-in-law
died. Isaac gave that information in his statement in the Pension Records.
Hope this clears things up. I am posting this to the list in case others
have these dates mixed up.
Millie
