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.

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. "Description of lands belonging to the heirs of John Issum. The 77th lot, bounded southerly by the 76th lot, westerly by the said Issum's land and partly by Ebenezer Goodspeed's land, by a swamp to a stake No. 72, and thence northerly straight through said swamp to a pine tree marked by the side of the swamp, then sets East Northeast about 68 rods to a stake by Lovell's millway. This the abovesaid Issums accepted of as ye full of his two acre right in the first and second divisions" (Barnstable Proprietors' Records, Vol. I, p. 152). The region where John Isham dwelt was also known as (*)A portion of the vital records has been printed in The Mayflower Descendant. "South Sea." In 1696-97 the owners of the salt marshes around Oyster Island were Thomas Macy; John, Benjamin and Ebenezer Goodspeed, sons of Roger Goodspeed; John Lovell and his sons John, James and Andrew; John Issum; Thomas Bumpas; Dolor Davis; Thomas Lewis; Joshua Lumbert; John Linnel; John Phinney, Jr.; Edward Lewis; Joseph Lothrop, Jr.; JohnLewis; and Edward Coleman. Soon after this date the Hallett, Crowell,Bearse and Claghorne families settled at South Sea. At least some of these men were Isham's neighbors and personally acquainted with him. Some of their descendants intermarried with Isham's descendants.(*) John Isham left a will which was admitted to probate Oct. 10, 1713. The personal estate only, amounting to oe159, 16s, 6d, was returned in the inventory, the real estate being divided to the three sons in the will. The will of Jane Isham, wife of John, was admitted to probate Feb. 24, 1719-20. Full copies of these wills are here given. Of the witnesses to these wills, Jonathan Russell was the minister ofthe Barnstable church, and probably wrote the wills, as clergyman often did in those times, John Jenkins was Mrs. Isham's brother-in-law, having married her sister Mary Parker. John Phinion (Phinney or Finney)was a neighbor and Daniel Parker was Mrs. Isham's brother. 1. JOHN ISHAM, born Mar. 31, 1654; died at Barnstable, Mass. Sept. 3,1713; married Dec. 16, 1687, at Barnstable, Jane Parker, born at Barnstable Mar. 21, 1664, died there in Feb. 1719-20 (exact date unknown),daughter of Robert and Sarah (James) Parker of Barnstable. 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. It cannot be, if not correct, very far from the true date. Barnstable records give the date of the marriage of John and Jane as Dec. 16, 1677. The original record has been lost, and the record of the marriage exists onlyin 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.

(Research):«u»«b»Where does the name ISHAM come from? <http://www.io.com/%7Egopper/isham.html>«/u»«/b» The surname «b»Isham«/b» has it origins in 11th century England, specifically in Northamptonshire in Central England along the River Ise. The name is derived from the Saxon word «i»'Ham«/i»', meaning a small village and the River Ise, a tributary of the Nene. The name basically means '«i»from a small village on the River Ise.«/i»' The first decendants to use the name Isham are those of «b»Azo«/b», who was born in Northamptonshire in 1049. There have been reports that the name '«i»Azo«/i»' is also derived from the River Ise. The is also a village of Isham three miles south of Kettering, Northamptonshire, whose name has the same derivative. Several spellings have come about in the last several centuries, commonly due to phonetic spellings of the name. In alphabetical order theyare: d'Eassem, d'Easum, d'Essum, d'Isham, deIsham, Eassem, Easum, Essum, Eston, Isom, and Ison in addition to Isham. The '«i»d«/i»' and '«i»de«/i»' at the beginning of the name were apparently dropped about 1494, for convenience. A genealogy report by Leonard d'Eason stated: "Royal College of Heraldry, London, England pointed out slight differences in spelling of what was the same family name frequently, indeed even in adjoining villages. The same family name was spelled differentlybecause initially spelling seemingly being of little importance." The first direct ancestor of mine on official record in the United States is «b»John Isham«/b» of Barnstable, Massachusetts (born: 03/31/1654 - died: 09/13/1713) . He was born in either England or Virginia, but he is first recorded in Barnstable in 1670. On 12/16/1687 John married Jane Parker (b: 03/21/1664 - d: 02/??/1720) and had 8 children: Jane (b:10/07/1689), John (b: 08/25/1691), Isaac (b: 02/07/1693) , Sarah(b: 12/??/1694) , Mary (b: 06/??/1697), Patience (b: 1699), Hannah (b: 1701), and Thankful (b: 1706). «b»Lamport Hall, «/b»the ancestral home of the Isham family over 400 years from 1560, when John Isham, the fourth son of «b»Euseby Isham«/b» of Pytchley acquired the manor there, and until the death of Sir Gyles Isham, the twelfth baronet, in 1976. Sir Gyles bequeathed Lamport Hall and its contents to a charitable trust, the 'Lamport Hall Preservation Trust', which now administers the estate.

This was before most English had a surname. This is a reason I think Isham is a surname derived from a place name. http://www.domesdaybook.co.uk/northamptonshire.html More about surnames and gene --ealogy http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/beyond/factsheets/surnames/surnames_prog2.shtml Have fun searching ~Paula/~ ------------------------------------------- Family Finder: «tab»«tab»«tab» A family in England bearing the name of de Isham or Isham has existed over a period of eight hundred and fifty years. For about three hundred and forty years the line is somewhat uncertain, but from the year 1424 to the present time the family may be definitely traced in its ancient home in Northamptonshire, England. In the sixteenth century the fortunes of the family began to improve and in 1627 the then representative of the family was made a baronet, a title which has continued to the present time, although not in the direct line. Information regarding this ancient family has been mainly obtained from the Victoria History of the Counties of England and from a large work upon Northamptonshire Families, edited by Oswell Barron. The account of the Isham family, which fills about a third of the large volume, is based upon the researches of the Rev. Henry Isham Longden, who was born at Lamport, the seat of the baronets Isham, and who had the use of the very extensive archives and family papers there preserved. Other families bearing the name are found in Shropshire and Somersetshire. Their connection with the ancient stock is unknown. Individual Ishams are found in London and elsewhere at an early date. The task of tracing all these to the Northamptonshire stock is very great and perhaps an impossible one. It has not been attempted. Henry Isham of the ancient house of Pitchley emigrated to Virginia. He had no surviving son, but through his daughters the Isham blood was continued in the Randolph and Eppes families. Other Ishams came to Virginia, some of them probably of the Somerset family. Families who write their name Isom--the ancient pronunciation--are common in some parts of the southern States. No attempt has been made to trace them. The greater portion of the book has to do with John Isham of Barnstable, Massachusetts, and his descendants. He or his father came from England to America, perhaps through Virginia, but when and how has not been proved. He appears in Barnstable about 1677 and then was a young man in his twenties. His English home and his connection with the ancient house in Northamptonshire has not been discovered. It is probably remote andis certainly not with the baronets of Lamport directly. The compiler began collecting information upon the New England Ishams, from one line of which he is proud to be descended, more than forty-five years ago, and he has continued it with intermissions ever since. His mother then told him that her grandmother was Lydia Isham of Colchester, Connecticut. This stirred his desire to know more about Lydia, her relatives and ancestry. He began the search for them which has continued to the present time. The Genealogy here printed is not fullycomplete in all lines. This is due to the failure of some to reply tohis inquiries and in a few cases to his inability to discover lost branches. He believes that enough has been given to enable any descendant of John Isham of Barnstable to trace his line back to this John. Families of Isham women have been included wherever possible. Thanks are due to the many who have aided by replying to the questionnaires sent out from 1895 to 1937. During that long period in which the work has been going on, many of them have joined the great majority. Special help was given by Mr. Henry Heyward Isham, then of New YorkCity, who loaned the book of Isham records gathered by his brother Ralph who met death by accident in 1874. His book, kept in a faultless hand, contained only names and dates, but was of very great assistance.The late Mrs. Almeda (Isham) Potter of Monson, Massachusetts, contributed a manuscript genealogy written by her father John Isham of Bolton, Connecticut, from the recollection of his father, Timothy Isham, who was born in Barnstable and lived in Bolton to a very advanced age. This genealogy was quite complete and shows that Timothy and John knewall the Ishams from the first John down to their contemporaries. The compiler by personal visits obtained information from the recordsof Plymouth and Barnstable, and from the towns in Connecticut where Ishams lived. Much was obtained from Colchester, Connecticut, and from the State Archives of Connecticut and the manuscripts belonging to theConnecticut Historical Society at Hartford. A large number of printedsources have been consulted, for which this mention ISHAMS IN AMERICA 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, havecirculated 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. There were no Ishams in Virginia other than Henry Isham of Henrico county, who left descendants in the female line and possibly other sons ISHAMS IN VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND (Contributed by Norman M. Isham) "The Virginians themselves are inclined to suspect that Henry had more children than his son's will mentions by an earlier wife. Philip Alexander Bruce goes so far as to assume a possible daughter who marrieda Cherstain--otherwise he cannot account for an Isham Cherstain, except as a fancy name. An earlier Phoebe Isham married Robert Belcher and has no other accounting other than to be Henry's daughter. She was living in Henrico County when she married and no other Ishams were there except Henry and his family. Several sons are reputed to have been born to Henry as well. There are other Ishams in Virginia, George in King and Queen county, north of Richmond in 1776; in Revolutionary army; John in Henry countyon line with Nansemond, further west toward Kentucky--he very likely from Edward; Ann Isham Gordon as late as 1796 (will) of Prince George county, near Bermuda Hundred. ISHAMS IN MARYLAND Roger Isham son of Roger Isham of Bradon, in or near Isle Brewers, county Somerset, Had brothers Amos and Cyprian who were among the Clerkenwell clan. He was clerk of the Assembly in Maryland 1659 and signed the statement by the Lower House which was the first public appearance of Fendall's Rebellion (Archives of Md., I). In 1657 he witnessed the will of Philip Land, quite an important man, sometime sheriff of St. Mary's county, but dating his will in Charles county. The overseer of this will was Philip Calvert. There is thus little doubt that this man was a Romanist (Calendar of Md. Wills, I). In 1652 he and William Brelton or Brilton who appears as clerk of the Assembly both before and after Roger's solitary performance, appear as witnesses to a note. James Isham quite a landowner, his patents dating from 1709 or earlier. His earliest was called Hereford and the next Homar. Near the city of Hereford in England is a village See Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 3, pages 262-3); died Dec. 26, 1723. ================================================ Bowe by . . . ., Mr. Thomas Lodge alderman and Walter (?) m'lar his godfathers and my sister Isham his godmother and they named him Thomas God make him his servant and send him lyffe to his pleasure.

Probably no family in England has more ample and minute materials forits history than that of Isham of Lamport in Northamptonshire. From the time they purchased the manor in 1559 to the present date it is hardly an exaggeration to say that not only have no family documents suchas letters, deeds, etc. been destroyed, but that every incident of the least consequence in the family history has been made the subject of a careful note. The first owner--John Isham--carefully copied all his deeds into a thick folio volume, which he styled the Book of his Evidence, and jotted down ample memoranda as to his family, an example which was followed by his blind son and his grandson, Sir John Isham, the first baronet. Others of the family took notes of the inscriptions and coats of arms of all of their name, and there are several volumes of MS. family history extant in the Library at Lamport. Their inscriptions have already been printed privately and one of the numerous Diaries kept by different members of the family, viz. the Diary of Thomas Isham--a boy of 14 in 1671--was published in 1875. The memoranda printed below are those which will be of the most general interest. Copy of a Paper endorsed "Remembrances of Sr. John Isham First Baronet enter'd May 30, 1627." REMEMBRANCES 1. Sir William Cecill of Burghley, Knight, purchased this mannour of Lamport and the patronage of the church there of John Earle of Oxford for the sum of 530 pounds on the 7th day of May 1559 and in the first yeare of Queene Elizabeth's Reigne. 2. John Isham my grandfather purchased the said mannour of Lamport with the patronage of the Church &c of the said Sir William Cecill for the sume of 610 pounds on the 13th day of January 1559 and in the second yeare of Queene Eliza Reigne. (i. e. Jan. 13, 1559-60, which was subsequent to the purchase by Sir William Cecill on May 7, 1559). 3. The Lease of the Tythes of Lamport, Houghton and Faxton was made by John White parson of Lamport &c. on the 7th day of September in the10th yeare of the Reigne of Queene Elizabeth and in the yeare of our Lord 1568 to continue for 99 yeares paieing ye rent of 48 po a yeare to ye parson of Lamport within 21 daies after our Lady Day and Michaellmas. Their are 62 yeares of this Lease expired now at Mychaelmas 1630 and 37 yeares now to come. The Deede of feofment for the dwelling house was likewise sealed at the same tyme by ye said Parson White. Ostento. The form of the arms has been changed, the portrait of the first Isham of Lamport bearing a shield with a plain fesse athwart those three wavy piles in which we may see icicles which play upon the name of the house, formerly pronounced Isam. The motto may be translated: 'I show, I sham not,' again a punning reference to the name of Isham. Isham of Shropshire. Shield green, three wedges in chief, silver, meeting at the base of the shield. A fleur de lys for distinction upon the middle wedge or pile. Isham of Somerset. No arms discovered. John Isham, the founder of Lamport line, was apprenticed to Otwell Hill June 29, 1542. In 1546 his father had given him a legacy of five marks, doubtless the foundation of his capital of future years. About 1551, like his brother Gregory, he became a citizen and freeman of the mercers, of whose company he was warden in 1567 and 1577, and a merchant adventurer of London. He must have prospered from the first, for hejoined with his brother Robert, the parson of Pytchley, in the purchase from Sir William Cecil of the manor and advowson of Lamport on Jan.13, 1559-60 for 610, a purchase recorded in the remembrance book of Sir John Isham his grandson. He built the greater part of the house ofLamport in the year 1568 and in 1581-82 he served as high sheriff of Northamptonshire, having settled at Lamport in 1572. His will of Sept. 22, 1594, orders that there should be laid upon hisgrave a fair plain stone with a scutcheon of copper or brass in each corner, on which scutcheons should be graven the arms of the city of London, the arms of the merchant adventurers of Flanders, the arms of the mercers of London, and the arms of the Ishams, "with such other arms, superscriptions, verses and posies as my son Thomas Isham and othersonnes and friends shall devise and allow of to testifie to posteritie of what house I descend bothe of my father and mothers side, that Iwas a merchant adventurer of the cittie of London and free of the company of the mercers, and by that meanes with the blessing and favoure of God receyved my preferrment and was enhabled to purchase the manor of Langporte and patronage of the church Page 4.

And Hoback, Dinges, Blew barroes, Redgwas and Parkes were enclosed by him in the 18th yeare of Queene Elizabeth's Reigne, being the yeare of our Lord 1576. 6. John Isham my grandfather was High Sherife of Northamptonshire from the 27th November 1581 unto the 5th day of December 1582 beinge ye 24th and 25th yeares of Queene Elizabethe's Reigne. 7.

The picture of John Isham, Esq. who bought Lamport has on it Aetatis suae 44 and on the uppermost part of the frame, which was broken, was the date of ye year viz 1589. On ye uppermost part of the Frame of John Isham's Picture is this: In Respect of Things Etarnal Life is Vayne and Mortal. ARMS OF ISHAM "Arms of Isham and related families were brought from Pitchley and put up in ye Hall Windows at Lamport." Some of them are still in existence there, in the windows over the large staircase. Isham. Gules a fesse, three piles in chief, all wavy argent. Isham of Lamport, baronets. Gules a wave silver with three piles waved silver in the chief. The colors are red and silver. Crest is a demi-swan raising its wings. Motto is Ostendo, non thereof." This monument was duly made. He directed his son Thomas to furnish and set out the parsonage of Lamport "to make yt more decent,"causing a chamber to be made in the hall and a pretty stone window into the street towards the churchyard, with another window in the hall,both glazed in some seemly manner. Furthermore he asks pardon of his sisters, nephews, nieces and friends for striking out of a former will, many legacies, as he had met losses because of a great suit at law,by death of cattle and of late by fire.

Henry Isham was sent to London to be bound apprentice to his brother Gregory Isham, and became like him a citizen and mercer. Towards this apprenticeship his father gave him a legacy of 5 in 1546. In 1558 he was one of the executors of the will of his brother Gregory, and ten years later was an executor of the will of his brother Robert the parson, under which he received lands in Doddington and Little Harrowden. Vincent's pedigree of 1564 describes him as controller of the customs to Queen Elizabeth, and in 1587 his son-in-law, Francis Sturtivant, bequeathed him a ring of gold of an ounce weight. On May 12, 1595 he was willing to yield the controllership of the port of London to Robert Hervey. CHILDREN 11. GREGORY, of Barby, m. Elizabeth Catelyne.

"Through this period, 1550-1626, the Ishams could not be said to be actually living on the primary soil of their family, yet they still possessed land and influence at Isham. The lands at Isham, their originalproperty, passed away through an heiress, Elizabeth de Isham, daughter of William de Isham, marrying William Bernake of Bernake. But the family, apparently, immediately make their home at Pytchley, within twomiles of their original settlement, on higher and more advantageous ground, still retaining small portions of land in Isham. Certainly, just after the birth of Sir Euseby, Robert Isham his uncle, the squire parson of Pytchley, sells some land in Isham, and I have the deed of sale, which I bought in London a few years ago, in my possession." (Rev.Henry Isham Longden.) "In 1583 Sir Euseby is found furnishing his share to the Northamptonshire Militia. On May 11, 1603 he was knighted, and on June 11, 1626 hedied, and was buried the following day at Pytchley. "Sir Euseby lived to a good old age, but had made no will, and so during his last hours he calls together his friends, Harold Kynnesman of Pytchley, Sir Fleetwood Dormer, his son-in-law, and others, and, in their presence, declares his will (P. C. C. 100 Hele); desiring Harold Kynnesman to write down particulars 'verbatim as he spake it without any word altering,' adding his own signature. His one anxiety was for his wife, 'not long before his death Sr Euseby said to mee he could notlive longe and that his wife should have all to wch I will depose, ffleetwood Dormer; to divers others that his wife should have all, and that Anne should have all.' Mention is made of his sons John, Euseby, William and Thomas; of the other two Anthony died in infancy, and I cannot do otherwise than conclude that Gregory was also dead, though I can produce no evidence at all on the point. And so Sir Euseby died andwas buried at Pytchley, as his wife also desired to be, and I supposewas. But there is not a 8.

Gregory Isham, esquire, was of Barby, county Northampton. He bought the manor and advowson of Barby from Edward, the eleventh Lord Zouche of Harringworth. He was living in 1624 when Augustine Vincent made hispedigree of the Ishams. By indenture of June 26, 1632 he conveyed thefee simple of lands in Barby for the benefit of John Pey of Westminster, gentleman, his daughter Anne's husband.

Henry, to whom his grandfather, Robert Catelyne gave a legacy of five marks. At the making of Vincent's pedigree in 1624 he was living at La Laguna in the Canaries. Being an acquaintance of Samuel Pepys he makes many appearances in the "Diary" as "Captain Isham," an old and disappointed man who was disappointed of his hopes of preferment at the hands of his kinsman the Earl of Sandwich. From the deck of the Swiftsure in Deal harbor on May 13, 1660, Pepys saw Captain Isham go on shore "nobody showing of him any respect, so the old man very fairly took leave of my lord, and my lord very coldly bid him God be with you, which was very strange, but that I hear he keeps a great deal of prating and talking on shore, on board, and at the king's court, what command he had with my lord." In the same month of May 1660 he petitioned for some place of reputation, as purveyor of wines for the household or victualler of the navy. When in Spain and Portugal he had assisted the princes Rupert and Maurice and Sir Henry Compton the ambassador there, and returning in his old age, at the invitation of his nephew, Admiral Montague, to end his days in his native country, found his patrimony gone. He afterwards obtained the post of groom of the privy chamber to the Queen, and was employed on journeys to Portugal.
