George Isbell was in Wise County, Texas at the 1860 census, and in Tarrant County at the 1870 census.
A number of family trees online show his birth incorrectly as 1810.
Claudia Rentrope said: "There are two cemeteries located on the same hilltop: Tannahill Cemetery and Isbell Cemetery, which is not accessible by a vehicle. Due to the washing of guleys and vegetation one can only get there by foot and it is almost at a 45 degree angle. George Isbell got the land through a land grant when he came to Texas and he deeded most of the property to the White Settlement School District except enough for his home place a church and a cemetery."
The Tannahills "were relatives of the Isbells. There are some Tannahills buried at Truscott and probably came to Knox County with the Coody family.
We found the burial places for both George Isbell and Pernecia Ann Prince Isbell a few years ago after looking for them for twenty years. Juanita Dunlap from Fort Worth told me where George Isbell was buried and a friend of Sue Clayton's found the gravesite of Pernecia Ann for us. He looks for lost graves as a hobby, so we have these two people to thank for EVER finding those two gravesites.
...George Isbell (was) the father of T. D. Isbell who was the first Sheriff and first County Judge of Knox County and the father of our Granny Coody (Corra). Granny also has a brother buried in the Benjamin Cemetery who is Jim Isbell's grandfather."
Cemetery description: "The Isbell Cemetery is just to the west of an active sand quarry in the northeast corner of a 12 acre rectangular lot (Live Oak School land) inside the George Isbell Survey (A-838). The transcription data is from H. Oscar Lochridge from 1994 and the photographs are by Mike Fisher in 2003 and Jim Isbell in 2007. This cemetery is near the Tannahill Cemetery which is actually inside the sand quarry remaining on a pedestal."
