He married 1st Mary Leonard about 1781.
When his father made the move to the 96th District SC in 1795, Isaac also moved his family. On 30 Dec 1797, he bought land on Buck Creek from Isaac Young for 70 pounds. This was part of a grant to William Jordon in 1788. In 1800, Isaac and his wife, both listed as 26-45 years of age, were recorded in Spartanburg District SC. In 1810, he was again listed as the head of household and he was a widower. He was a farmer with one slave.
He married 2nd Charlotte Forrester, 1811, Spartanburg County, South Carolina.
On 7 August 1811, he sold 70 acres of land on Buck Creek to Elijah Cantrell for $102. This was the same land he had purchased in 1797. The deed was signed by both Isaac and Charlotte and was witnessed by Archibald Nelson, Ely Cantrell and Leonard Adcock J.P.
This young family started their migration west stopping first in Jefferson county, Tennessee. We find a record in the Dumplin Batist Church minutes 1797-1860 (page 61) 8 Feb 1817 where Brother Isaac Cantrell was received by letter. On page 90 12 Dec 1818, Isaac Cantrell requests a letter of dismission. It was granted.
It is believed they made several moves into Kentucky and Indiana before returning to Tennessee where they settled in Gibson County.
Charlote was a widow in 1830. In 1840, she was again recorded in Gibson county and the two youngest children were at home. She remarried Charles J. Lawrence 3 Nov 1842 in Gibson County.
By 1850 "Lottie" was a widow again and still residing in Gibson County. In 1860 she was recorded as 70 years old.
