The family came from Clayton, but after Isaac married, he farmed at Allerton, and at the time of his death had accumulated considerable property.
In Isaac's will (Feb 1813) he left his estate to his son William and money in trust for his three grandchildren, John, William and Thomas Smith.
Isaac died at Allerton, but its not clear where his farm was. His Nephew had the farm at Moorside, and Isaac's may have been Ackroyd Farm (near manningham).
