GAR PENNSYLVANIA MILITIA

Isaac was the son of Jeremiah Klee of Berks County, Pennsylvania.
When Isaac was about 24 and around 1810, the family settled in Centre County, Pennsylvania for a few years. We know that he and his brother Benjamin and his father, Jeremiah were with him in Trumbull County before 1820. Father Jeremiah appears in the 1820 and 1821 tax records for Trumbull County, Ohio. Isaac and Benjamin stayed in Trumbull County for several years after Jeremiah's death, most likely to settle their father’s estate. Isaac was an administrator for his father's estate. By 1835, Isaac purchased land in Seneca County, Ohio.

In 1860, Isaac Sr. is in Seneca County with his son, Samuel, and his wife, Emily, and children: Alton and Polly. His wife, Elizabeth, is not there but there is a Lafayette Clay (1841). In 1870, Isaac is still in Seneca County with his son, Samuel. After 1870 and the death of his wife, Isaac went to live with his son in Wood County, Ohio where he died on August 14, 1874.

From Isaac's will:

"Item Second, I give and devise to my son Samuel W. Clay the sum of five hundred dollars to be paid to him out of my estate provided he shall furnish me a home and provide for me for the balance of my lifetime and shall make no change there for against my estate, and I ?? ?? to give him the said sum of five hundred in addition to sums which I have paid for him and I have fully took into consideration a ??? which I paid for him to Charles Green which was assigned to me and which I have this day released.

Item third: It is my will that the residue of my estate shall be equally divided share and share alike among the following named of my children to wit, to my son Isaac Clay one fourth part of said residue, to my son Daniel one fourth part of said residue, to my daughter Betsy Heater one fourth part of such residue and to my daughter May Beard one fourth part of such residue. I have heretofore advanced to my sons John W. and David all that I desire them to have of my estate, they having had enough of my estate taking into consideration the date when they received it to make them nearly or about equal with the others of my children except Samuel, to whom I have given more because I am living with him in my old age and expect to have a home in his family during the balance of my life.

Item fourth, I hereby nominate and appoint my son Samuel W Clay executor of this, my last will and testament.

Item fifth, I give and devise to my son Samuel W Clay in addition to the legacy above devised to him all of my beds and bedding and other clothing which I may leave at my decease. My other children having heretofore received from my beloved wife and myself beds and bedding which I consider their full share. I do hereby revoke all former wills by me made in testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this second day of May 1874.
