There is apparently reason to believe that it is 10 years off- see explanation under parents marriage citation (from June E. Dodd);93,89 married Abigail Lumbert, daughter of Joshua Lumbert and Hopestill Bullock, 3 May 1716;90 died 1771;93 his estate was probated 5 Aug 1771.94 He "Isaac Isham received one-half of his father's estate and when hisbrother John went to the Vineyard and later to Connecticut, Isaac assumed or purchased the other half. He lived quietly upon the farm near Osterville (South Sea) during his entire life. He is not mentioned in the town or church records and probably held no civil or military office. The site of the first John Isham's dwelling was upon Isham's Island, south of Osterville. Mr. Norman N. Isham believed he had discovered the site upon his visit there some years ago. The island is now connected with the mainland. This may be the old house mentioned in the inventory. Some distance inland was a later house, but still old, where perhaps this Isaac Isham or his sons dwelt. It may be inferred from the inventory that Isaac was a considerable owner of not very valuable land, and that as a farmer he was entirely independent of outside sources. It is clear that he produced his own tobacco, pork and beef upon the farm and that spinning and weaving went on in the house and that shoes for the family were made there. Spinning was the work of the wife and daughters, but weaving was men's work. Probably the seven boys, asthey became old and strong enough, were taught to operate the looms. Two saddles seem to imply at least two horses, upon which the parents and perhaps the daughter rode to meetings or elsewhere, while the boyswalked. Their house was a long way from the First and Second Meeting Houses in Barnstable, and it is not certain that they attended either of these. "89 He "4. ISAAC ISHAM (John), born in Barnstable, Mass. Feb. 7, 1692-93 (Barnstable record Feb. 7, 1682-83); died there in July or Aug. 1771, aged about 78 years; married May 3, 1716, Abigail Lumbert, born in Barnstable Jan. 20, 1692, date of her death unknown, daughter of Joshua and Hopestill (Bullock) Lumbert of Barnstable. A correction is necessary in the Barnstable record, which states thatIsaac Isham married Thankful Lumbert. It must be remembered that thisrecord is a copy of the original record, made about 1736, in which other errors have been discovered. The emendation is supported by the following facts. Barnstable records have the marriage Sept. 16, 1715, ofEdward Coleman and Thankful Lumbert and reveal no other Thankful Lumbert save that one. The will of Joshua Lumbert, proved Nov. 2, 1724, names daughter Abigail Isham. The will of Isaac Isham, dated Mar. 11, 1754, mentions wife Abigail. The emendation therefore seems to be justified. Isaac Isham received one-half of his father's estate and when his brother John went to the Vineyard and later to Connecticut, Isaac assumedor purchased the other half.

In presence of the subscribers James Colemon Solomon Hamblin Lemuel Bean Barnstable County Probate Registry, Vol. XII. An Inventory of the estate of Mr. Isaac Isham late of Barnstable, yeoman, Deceased, taken by us the subscribers under oath this 9th Day of August A.D. 1771, as shown to us by the Executor to said Estate. The site of the first John Isham's dwelling was upon Isham's Island, south of Osterville. Mr. Norman M. Isham believed he had discovered the site upon his visit there some years ago. The island is now connected with the mainland. This may be the old house mentioned in the inventory. Some distance inland was a later house, but still old, where perhaps this Isaac Isham or his sons dwelt. It may be inferred from the inventory that Isaac was a considerable owner of not very valuable land, and that as a farmer he was entirely independent of outside sources. It is clear that he produced his own tobacco, pork and beef upon the farm and that spinning and weaving went on in the house and that shoes for the family were made there. Spinning was the work of the wife and daughters, but weaving was men's work. Probably the seven boys, asthey became old and strong enough, were taught to operate the looms. Two saddles seem to imply at least two horses, upon which the parents and perhaps the daughter rode to meeting or elsewhere, while the boys walked. Their house was a long way from the First and Second Meeting Houses in Barnstable, and it is not certain that they attended either of these. CHILDREN Born in Barnstable: 18. Isaac, b.

Robert Parker of Barnstable. The start of the Isham line in America John Isham, the ancestor of the Ishams of New England, appeared firstat Barnstable, Massachusetts about 1670. He was born either in England or Virginia on March 31, 1654. All attempts to trace this date to it's source have been futile, but it cannot be far fromm the true date. The names of his parents or their place of residence have not as yet been discovered. There are three traditions regarding his orgin, quitedefinite in the form that have been circulated amoung his decendants.The first two have been disproven to the satisfaction of most historians, and the third being the most probable is set forth here: John Isham when a boy, ran away from home and worked as a cabin boy in a ship bound for Virginia. From there He made his way to BarnstableMass. In 1670, the authorities of Virginia demanded from the authorities of Plymouth Mass, the extradition of James Percival, accused of having run away fromm Virginia with a boat. This boat must have been of some size, for Percival reached Cape Cod in her. It is manifest he could not have navigated her alone. Records do not mention any of Pericvals companions in the voyage, but it is possible that John Isham was one of them. It may well be that John Isham was the son or grandson of some Virginia planter named Ishamm, and that he went with James Percival to Cape Cod in his runaway vessel. About 1670 times were very hard in Virginia and ghere were in addition political difficulties and antagonisms. James Percival was not compelled to return to Virginia, and he was allowed to settle in Barnstabel or Sandwich, where he married a prominant widow, Mrs. Mary Bassett. James Percival was by virtue of his two sons the founder of the Percival family in New England. Once in Massachusetts, John Isham leased the home of Thomas Ewer in the northern part of town between East and West Barnstable. In 1696 he removed to south shore near the present village of Osterville. He he acquired the rights of propprietor, for he shared in the land division as shown by existing records. John Isham's house was on an island thatbore his name. Time has since connected the island to the mainland. John Isham remained there for a time and then removed to Martha's Vineyard. the date or time he spent there is not known. In 1696-97 John Isham was one of the owners of the salt marines around Oyster Island bythe South Sea. John Isham married Jane Parker at Barnstable on December 16, 1687. She was born in Barnstable on March 21, 1664. the children of John and Jane Parker Isham were: Jane, b. 7 Oct 1689 John, b. 25 Aug 1691 *Isaac, b. 7 Feb 1692-3...m.

He died on 2 Mar 1802 in Westchester Parish of Colechester Connecticut. He was 81. He had two wives. He married first, Dorothy Foote, in Colechester on 19 Dec 1751. She was born 23 Apr 1733. She died 2 Nov 1790. She was a decendant of Nathaniel Foote and Elizabeth Deming who were two of the first settlers of Wethersfield Connecticut.

She died at Maldon, New York on 11 May 1818. She was the daughter of Benjamin and Eunice (Rockwell) Adams of Westchester Parish. Samual Isham married his second wife, Mary Crocker, on 22 Feb 1819. She was born about 1765. She died at Marlborough, Connecticut on 1 Jan 1854 at the age of 89. Descendants of John Isham Generation One 147. John1 Isham;; John Isham or Isum - no record of where or when hewas born;88 born 31 Mar 1654; "The date of John Isham's birth was furnished by the late George H. Loveland, formerly of New Haven, Conn, The source from which Mr. Loveland obtained it he did not reveal. It was probably from Freeman's "Annals of Cape Cod", but the source Mr. Freeman used is unknown;"89 married Jane Parker, daughter of Robert Parker and Sarah James, 16 Dec 1687 at Barnstable, MA; A lot of discrepency about the birth date. Have gone with a recnet interpretation from June Dodd's Genealogy: "Barnstable records give the date of the marriage of John and Jane asDec 16, 1677. The original record has been lost, and the record of the marriage exists only in a copy of Barnstable vital records made about 1736. Errors have been detected in this copy. Some one wrote opposite the record in the copy "Ten year too ould." Other considerations appear to verify this statement. Accordingly the date of marriage and the dates of the children's births have been set ahead ten years; "90,91,89 died 3 Sep 1713 at Barnstable, MA, at age 59.88,89 He "He appears first in the extant records for Barnstable, Mass., which date from 1685, as a lessee of the home of Thomas Ewer. By 1696, heacquired the rights of aproprietor of land on the South Shore, not far from the present village of Osterville. Hyannis lies a few miles away. The site was called "Isham's Island" but changesin the shoreline over the intervening three centuries have made it a part of the mainland today. Here the Ishams were to dwell until later generations were to move to Martha's Vineyard and to Connecticut. (Isham's Point is thought to be the site of the home of his son, John Isham. b 1691) " in 1685.89 He "JOHN ISHAM, the ancestor of the Ishams of New England, appears first at Barnstable, Mass., about 1670. He was born either in England, or possibly in Virginia, Mar. 31, 1654. All attempts to trace this date to its source have proved futile, but it can not be far from the true date. The names of his parents and their home have not yet been discovered. Three traditions regarding his origin, quite definite in form, have circulated among his descendants: 1. "Three brothers, sons of Gregory Isham, baronet of Northamptonshire, England, arrived at Cape Cod, Mass., on or about the year 1660. After living there some time, two of them settled in Connecticut, and Henry, the other brother, settled in Virginia, at Turkey Bottom, twenty miles south of Richmond, Va." 2. "John Isham, son of Thomas Isham of Pitchley, Northamptonshire, who was captain in a Cromwellian regiment of Ironsides, refused allegiance on the Restoration of the Stuarts, and set out in the Lion of London for Newburyport, Mass. with James Sumner and John Satterlee. He subsequently settled in Barnstable, Mass., and wrote letters to friends in England, including Lord Leigh of Leamington and other noblemen. John Isham's wife, Jane Hyde Parker, seems to have been a relative of the latter, Lord Bradford of Bromwick. These letters are said to have been found by Mr. Thorpe of Huddeston Hall, Birmingham, and by him deposited in the archives of the old borough Library in the year 1830." 3. "John Isham, when a boy, ran away from home and shipped as a cabinboy in a ship bound for Virginia. From there he made his way to Cape Cod and settled at Barnstable." The first tradition has no sound historical basis to support it. No persons named Isham ever settled in Connecticut before 1740. Henry Isham of Henrico county, Va., was the only one of the Pitchley Ishams known to have crossed to America. He died in Virginia about 1676, perhapsa victim of Governor Berkeley, whom he opposed. Gregory Isham died Sept. 4, 1558 and was not a baronet. (See the chapter on the Ishams of England.) This tradition is involved in a tangle of impossibilities andis worthless. The second tradition is a constructed story, concocted by some unscrupulous genealogist for consumption by credulous and trusting Americans. The Reverend Henry Isham Longden, a descendant of the Isham baronets of Lamport, and a very careful historical investigator, has for years studied the Lamport Isham family, using the rich material of letters and documents in the family archives. His conclusions have been printed in Barron's great work upon Northamptonshire Families and are of the highest value. In correspondence with the compiler Mr. Longden demonstrated that in all respects this second tradition was a stupid forgery, wholly in conflict with historical fact, although it mentions real persons. He also assured me that although his knowledge of the Ishams of Pitchley, Braughton and Lamport was virtually complete in all their branches, he could find no place therein for our John Isham of Barnstable, and that he was unable to suggest any origin for him other than that he might possibly have come from the Ishams "on the other sideof the county, in the vicinity of Lutterworth." In this parish and round about there were Ishams of unknown origin, humble farmers, from whom John of Barnstable may possibly have come. Their origin and historyhe had never studied. There were also Ishams in Shropshire, bearing similar arms and havingthe same Christian names as those of Northamptonshire. It has not been possible to connect John Isham of Barnstable with them. The third tradition may have some basis of fact. In 1670 the authorities of Virginia demanded from the authorities of Plymouth, Mass. the extradition of James Percival, accused of having run away from Virginiawith a boat. This boat must have been of some size, for Percival reached Cape Cod in her. It is manifest he could not have navigated her alone. Records do not mention any of Percival's companions in the voyage, but it is possible that John Isham was one of them. There were Ishams in Virginia other than Henry Isham of Henrico county, who left descendants in the female line only, among the Randolph and Eppes families. It may well be that John Isham was the son or grandson of some Virginia planter named Isham, and that he went with James Percival to CapeCod in his runaway vessel. About 1670 times were very hard in Virginia and there were in addition political difficulties and antagonisms. These unfortunate conditions led some to escape from the colony and a few succeeded. It should be stated that James Percival was not compelled to return to Virginia, and was allowed to settle in Barnstable or Sandwich, where he married a prominent widow, Mrs. Mary Bassett, and was by two sons, the founder of the Percival family in New England. John Isham appears first to have leased the homestead of Thomas Ewer in the northern part of the town, between East and West Barnstable. How long he resided there is not known, but before 1696 he had removed to the South Shore, near the present village of Osterville. Here he acquired the rights of proprietor, for he shared in land divisions, as shown by existing records. Mr. Norman M. Isham has located Isham's Island, and the site of John Isham's house, which was not on the Island, but on the mainland. The changes of two centuries or more in the shore line have joined the island to the mainland. Here dwelt all the Ishamsuntil removals to Martha's Vineyard and to Connecticut took place. Samuel Isham of the third generation, after a few years residence in Colchester, returned to Barnstable to care for his aged father, and the family remained there until the death of Thomas Isham, grandson of the aforesaid Samuel, the last male Isham in Barnstable. The brothers of Samuel Isham all settled in or near Colchester, as did John the eldest and Joseph the youngest son of the first John of Barnstable. Connecticut seems to have attracted them, for its soil, even in the rather remote sections of Connecticut, where they settled, was more fertile than that in Barnstable. The streams in the southern part of Barnstable are all short and originated in ponds. There are also a number of ponds without visible inlet or outlet. In this respect the region is well watered, but the soilis light and even sandy. Some portions even now are well wooded. Two of these streams, Bump's River, flowing from Heman's Pond, a small pond about two and a half miles inland and named for Heman Isham, and Trout Brook, both flow into Scudder's Bay. There is a point of land between them known today as Isham's Point, and it was here that the residents think that John Isham had his house. They may be right. Samuel, Heman and Thomas Isham probably lived here. It is not so certain that the first John Isham and his son Isaac dwelt here. The inventory of the estate of Isaac Isham, son of John, mentions "aninterest in an old house," which may have been the house of the firstJohn. Scudder's Bay opens into Centerville River, a long narrow bay or river, probably tidal, which extends some three miles parallel withthe shore line, behind the barrier beach which separates it from saltwater. Centerville River opens into East Bay near Osterville Landing.In its upper end Centerville River receives Herring River, which is the outlet of Great Nine Mile Pond, which is the largest pond in Barnstable. These waters probably offered good opportunity for fishing. Isham's Point is about two miles northeast of Osterville, about a mile west of Centerville and about four miles west of Hyannis. John Isham was admitted freeman Mar. 4, 1691-92, under the new charter which united Plymouth with the Bay Colony. Freemen were not required to be church members at this time. Of John Isham's religious views there is no written evidence. That he did not belong to the Congregational Church at West Barnstable is certain, for his name is not among the extant lists of its members. Neither were the baptisms of his children recorded. That he was tolerant is shown by the fact that he witnessed the will of a prominent Quaker, an act which implies previous acquaintance and perhaps sympathy with the Quakers. Was John Isham himselfa Quaker? If so, the records of the Sandwich Quaker Meeting should perhaps contain evidence, if they are as early as John's time. In the spring of 1692 Ralph Jones died, a member of the Friends Society, leaving a will proved Apr. 20, 1692. Two executors and three witnesses are named in this will. Of these three were Fullers, relatives of the wifeof Ralph Jones, who was a Fuller. Of the two not relatives, one was Edward Perry, the celebrated Quaker of Sandwich, and the other was JohnIsham. Ralph Jones resided some miles from the house of John Isham, who must have been desired as a witness by Jones. Could John Isham havebeen a Quaker? What reliable information we have regarding John Isham, the settler, comes from the public records of the town of Barnstable. The records of Plymouth county do not mention him. The records of the county of Barnstable, dating from 1685, and one volume of the Probate records weredestroyed by fire when the Court House was burned on Oct. 22, 1827. This loss involved records of conveyances of land, and probably recordsof the County Courts. There still remain the proprietors' records, records of births, marriages and deaths, the probate records, except theone volume destroyed, the books of town proceedings, and certain church records. The original vital records of Barnstable do not now exist.A copy made about 1736 is the basis of the existing records. Some errors in the transcript of 1736 have been detected. The record of the marriage of John Isham and the recorded births of his children as they appear in the transcript are all ten years too early. This was discovered long ago, perhaps by the transcriber himself. "Ten year too oulde" is written in the margin opposite the entry.(*) The proprietors' records begin in 1682, although earlier rights are mentioned (See Vol. I, pp. 85, 91, 95). Otis, Barnstable Families, saysthat John Isham was entitled to a share in all of the divisions of common lands and that in the last he had a 20 3/4 acre right.
