Isaac was the son of Enoch Straw, Jr and Betsy Welch. They are buried in Nevada, Story County, Iowa.
Isaac married 5-12-1853 Dodge County, Wisconsin to Ellen Atkins. Born July 1834 Vermont. Ellen died 10-20-1901 Hamburg, Fremont Co. Iowa. Their granddaughter Floy Ellen Straw was born at Hamburg on 9-17-1901 per her official birth record. Granddaughter Enda Grace Willoughby was born there on 2-2-1903 per her record. Isaac and other family members returned from Missouri between late 1900 and early 1901.

Isaac and Ellen had 10 children per the 1900 census. I have connected 4 of these children to his and Ellen's memorial so far.
Some researchers report Enoch Straw born in 1865 was Isaac's son but his marriage record on 11-1-1888 Sioux City, Woodbury Co. Iowa to Hattie Eliza Mattison daughter of Charles W. Mattison and Eliza Maria Beebe is the proof he was Henry Burton Straw's son.

Children as follows:

# 1. UKNOWN CHILDREN. I believe these would of been the first born because the next born child wasn't born until 1859. Could have been three born between 1853 and 1859. Could have children born between 1860 and 1865.
