Narrative

[byrne.ftw]
!Isaac Robertson, second son, third and youngest child of Donald
Robertson and his wife, Rachel Rogers, was born Aug. 27, 1776 at the
homestead in Drysdale Parish, King and Queen Parish, Virginia. He was
seven years old when his father died, and sixteen at the death of his
mother, at which time he was a student of Nassau hall, Princeton
College, New Jersey. On May 30th 1799 he married Matilda Taylor (born
in Caroline County, Virginia, Dec. 19 1784. Isaac and his family were
boarding at a hotel, and there he had a difficulty or misunderstanding
with a portrait painter named Samuel H. Dearborn, in regard to a room.
Dearborn appears to have been a vindictive and unscrupulous man, and
having secured a dirk, made a cowardly attack upon Mr. Robertson while
he was seated in the garden of the hotel surrounded by his little
children and entirely unarmed, and stabbed him savagely. The wound
proved fatal and death ensued the same day, April 17, 1811 in his
thirty-fifth year.
