We know Godfrey Isaacs Sr. served in the Revolutionary War because he was mentioned in a declaration given by Matthew Sparks. There are records of the service of Godfrey's older brother Col. Elijah Isaacs (who was captured at the battle of Camden, SC in August 1780), as well as records of the service of Elijah's son Samuel Isaacs who received a pension in Tennessee in the 1800's. But the only known record of Godfrey's service is found in the Matthew Sparks declaration. Godfrey Sr. is believed to have died in Wilkes Co., North Carolina before the state census of 1787.
The very first trial in Frederick County (February 1744) was a case against someone named Dooues for assault and battery on one Samuel Isaacs. Samuel Isaacs also served on jury duty of the new court (April 1744).
