Here is what I have one Isaac that I thought you might like please write to me kolohamorris(a)aol.com ca give you the whole ancestry.
Isaac was born Dec. 17, 1836
in Ashland Ohio. Isaac married Hannah Wright on Jan. 30 1857 Hannah was the daughter of John and Mary Wright. Hannah was born March 22, 1839. Isaac was a blacksmith, wheelwright and wagon maker. He served in the Indiana Infantry 48th regiment company B. during the civil war. He was such a good blacksmith that he was asked to make all the bayonets for his company. He participated in the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863, and Missionery Ridge in TN in 1863 He served from Dec. 26, 1861 to July 15,1865. His war buddy was Clem Studebaker, one of the founders of the Studebaker Automobile Company. They remained good friends all their lives. He was at Missionary Ridge Nov. 24,25, 1863 and Battle of Vicksburg.
As you can see in the Golden Wedding anniv. that Isaacs brother Madison Closson came to the party, and a Mrs. George Michel from Ohio where Isaac was from, married to his sister. Isaac had two brothers who moved to Iowa, one who moved to Oregon and one in Ligionier, IN and a sister Liza who lived with him at one time. I think the name of one brother that lived in IN is Jonas. as he is in a census record He married Margaret Bridenstine May 4, 1873. There is a Mc.Donald mentioned who is the daughter of his sister Liza who married Hiram Mc Donald they lived in South Bend, IN and had a daughter Ethel who married George Bruggner. They also lived in South Bend. Since the writings of Ruth Mollenhour-Unrue, there have been others born that she had not known about. But I am grateful she set so much down about the Clossons to give us a head start on finding the rest of our heritage.Thank you Aunt Ruth! He played a Bass Horn in the Milford Silver Band.He was a Sunday School tea!

If anyone ever gets a bead on the John Closson you mentioned -
born 1783 and died in Jefferson Co., OH in about 1822 - I hope
I hear about it. He is my 4g grandfather also and has been a
brick wall for many years.

Hello, cousin! I know this is an old thread and don't know if you still are
interested in the topic but I have some interesting family stories about
Isaac Closson from Milford, IN. He is my great-great grandfather through his
son Ed Closson and one of the more notorious Clossons of my lineage (because
he lived to such a ripe old age for his time and supposedly had a very
charismatic personality). So my grandfather told me a couple stories about
him when I was a boy, both concerning him being a talented blacksmith:
When Isaac enlisted in the Union Army during the Civil War he was issued a
poor quality bayonet. Being a blacksmith by trade he decided to make his own
much better quality one for himself. When his friends saw his bayonet they
asked him to make some for them as well. He did, which in turn led to more
soldiers asking him to make them bayonets. Eventually the leadership saw
that he could make much better bayonets than they had to issue so they had
him make bayonets for the entire battalion.
Also allegedly Isaac was the first Closson in our lineage to have been an
avid golfer. He took up the game after someone commissioned him to make a
set of golf clubs. He was praised for making such a fine set that then other
players from the surrounding area went to him to get golf clubs made as
well. This led Isaac to become curious about the game and he took it up. He
then decided to pass the game down to his sons and thus started a tradition
that (at least in my lineage) is still carried on to this day of all fathers
teaching their sons golf, traditionally with the son being taken on his
first father-son golf outing to celebrate his tenth birthday.
Of course I don't know if these stories are entirely true, or if my grandpa
just liked to spin a yarn. But I've heard my father tell the stories to my
nephew, and I will probably tell them to my son in a few years when he's a
little older and might appreciate them (maybe on a father-son golf outing).
Thought you might like to hear the alleged family lore. And if you're a
golfer, maybe it can be attributed to our common ancestor Isaac.
