Birth: ABT. 1678

Note: The birth order of Isaac's children is unknown. There are estimated dates on a few.
His will mentions wife Elizabeth, and sons John, Isaac, Thomas, Henry, Benjamin, Gilbert, and James -- no Charles, no Edward, and no daughters !!!!! (These names are usually included in any listing of Issac & Elizabeth's children. The daughters could have been excluded on the assumption that their husband's would provide for them, but it would be unusual to exclude living sons without mentioning why.
