Isaac Jessup's name is alternately spelled Jesiop and Jessiop. As written in a biography after his death, Isaac was born in Perquimins County, N. C, on Sept. 29, 1805.
He had two wives, Sarah Elliott and then Sophia Moore. He married Sarah Elliott in 1826, according to his obituary, but court records say they were married Jan. 9, 1827. Sarah died in 1870 and he married Sophia on Sept. 10, 1870. I have not confirmed all the data in this Jessup family story, but it talks about Isaac's early life and his first wife.
His obituary says he moved to Darke County, Ohio., in 1829; was converted and "united with the M. E. Church in 1836" He moved to Jackscn Township, Howard County, Indiana, in 1849, where he obtained 400 acres of land and cleared up a farm, and "shared in the rigors of a backwoods life." He provided the land and helped back the building of the Poplar Grove Methodist Church in Poplar Grove, Indiana.
He died January 17, 1883. In his will, he ceded the church he built and the lot enclosing it to the M.P. Church for a house of worship.
He is buried with his first wife, Sarah, in Jerome Cemetery in Union Township, Howard County, Ind. (Note: this Isaac summary says he is buried in Webster cemetery and gives a different birth date)
