Are you sure Isaac was born in Alabama? I checked the census in 1910 I did find an Isaac
born Illinois in 1910 census Vigo County Ind. He was 54 yrs old. making his birthyear
about 1856.Maybe he didn't have a birthday yet before the census was taken, so he
would have been 55 yrs and born 1857 of 1910 then..
Wife was Mary he had 3 children and on it Pearl which is listed as son.At that time he was
living with Ernest Purk
his last name was hard to read so not sure. His wife Bessie.
Then Isaac and Mary and children listed. So he was in their household.I don't know if
this is yours or not.
Sometimes the census lists the place of birth wrong or the age is off a little.
I also found in the 1920 census Isaac alone in Vigo County Ind 63 yrs old. Making birth
year about 1857..
In 1910 it lists Parents born in Illinois.. In 1920 it lists his father born in Pa.
Mother Ohio
So sometimes the census isn't exact. Let me know if you think this is your Isaac and
Mary..
