Isaac was born near Keswick in the Lakes District of Cumberland, England. I don' know if his mother ever married. Isaac lived with his mother and two brothers for most of his early life in Cockermouth. Then in 1871, they went to live with his mother's father outside of Aspatria.
Isaac had been a coal miner most of his life, but when he came to the US in 1887, he turned to farming. He was also a barber for a time. He emigrated with his wife, Annie, their two children, and his sister-in-law, Jane. After meeting up with his in-laws already in Dodge County, NE, they lived in the area for several years having four more children. One died before they moved on to Dixon County where they eventually settled.
He's buried with his wife in Concord Cemetery. Three of their children - Margaret, Andrew, and Joseph - are buried near-by, as well as grandchildren and other relation.
