He was buried in the Severns Valley Baptist Church Cemetery, Elizabethtown, Hardin Co., Kentucky. Current name of the cemetery is unknown.
In 1779, Isaac Dye and family migrated from Greene county, Pennsylvania to Kentucky with the Jacob VanMeter party. Minutes of the Court of Yohogania County, March 23, 1779: "John Corbley, Jacob Vanater, Abraham Vanmater, Isaac Dye, John Eastwood, Abraham Hold, John Holt, Robert Tyler, having produced recommendations from the County Court of Monongehala to pass unmolested to the Falls of Ohio."
In September of that year, Isaac Dye received his letter of dismissal from the Goshen Baptist Church at Garrard's Fort: "Met according to appointment on Saturday the 18th of September and proceeded to business... We gave unto our beloved Brother Jacob VanMetre, John Garard, John Ventrees, John Eastwood, Joseph Eastwood, John Gated, Isaac Dye, David Henton, Abraham Vanmetre, Jacob Vanmetre Junior, Rebecca Vantrees, Letitia Vanmetre, Hannah Dye, Mary Underwood, Mary Henton, Bambo and Dinah letters of dismission according to their request."
In the spring of 1779, he applied for permission to take his family and "pass unmolested to the Falls of the Ohio [River]." It was his intent to settle in Kentucky, a virgin territory that lay just to the west of the Appalachian Mountains. The legendary pioneer Daniel Boone had settled there only four years earlier, after passing through the famed Cumberland Gap. Unlike Boone, Van Meter and his family and friends planned to enter Kentucky from the north, by traveling down the Ohio River. Permission was granted on March 23, 1779.
Unfortunately, the Van Meter party was troubled by more than Indians on their journey to Kentucky. As it turned out, they had inadvertently chosen to travel during a period time of severe wintertime weather that was ever afterward known as "the Hard Winter of 1780." In the spring of 1780 the Van Meter party reached the Severns Valley, in what was then Jefferson, later Hardin County, Kentucky. Jefferson County records reveal that Jake Van Meter, Stephen Rawlings, and Edward Rawlings all bought land from John Severns, for whom the valley was named. To protect themselves from Indians, they immediately built wooden "forts" (probably log blockhouses). Van Meter's fort was located, according to one source, "near the big spring at the power house on Leitchfield road, for a long time the source of the Elizabethtown water supply."
The VanMeter party floated down the Monongahela River past Pittsburg and down the Ohio River to the Falls of the Ohio.
According to Lewis Collins' "History of Kentucky", Isaac Dye was a member of William Harrod's militia company in 1780, at the Station near the Falls, in present-day Jefferson and Shelby counties, Kentucky.
Isaac Dye was a founding member of Severn's Valley Baptist Church in Hardin county in 1781.
