Isaac was the son of Jacob Grater Hunsicker and Anna Ziegler. He married Magdalena Bricker Erb on 21 May 1839. He and Magdalena had five children, Mary Ann, Lydia, Charlotte, Jacob and John.
"In the early 19th century a young Montg. Co. school teacher named Isaac Ziegler Hunsicker (1803-1870) left PA to settle in Waterloo Co., ON. He was a skilled caliigrapher and produced hand-lettered documents of various kinds for people in Waterloo region for about three decades, from 1830's through the 1860's. "He produced' a wide range from birth records to house blessings to bookplates. Some were more elaborate than others but all were examples of fine penmanship. He signed most of them either with his full name (Isaac Z. Hunsicker) or simply his initials "I H" or "I Z H" (his middle name was Ziegler). Some of the most common examples of his work are found in family bibles, where he inscribed hand-lettered family registers on a page or two located between the Old and New testament sections. He also inscribed many smaller German Books such as hymnbooks, schoolbooks and the like. In some cases he made small drawings of birds or flowers, some of which were given to pupils when he was a schoolteacher in the 1830's and 1840's."
