William Isbell/Mary V. Cryer

BettyCarey81 — 2009-10-27 14:59:06Z

I am looking for information on William Isbell and Mary V. Cryer. Mary is the d/o Aaron Cryer & Sarah Jane Duncan. Aaron is a half brother to my ggg-grandfather Ferguson Cryer. William Isbell and Mary V. Cryer married in Giles Co, TN 12-30-1873.In 1880 Census in giles Co, TN Mary is known as Mary Isbell and her son George Isbell. On the 1900 Census Giles Go, TN she is listed as Mary Cryer and so is George and her other children Pleasant, Andrew, Robert & Babe. There is also a Sally Cryer age 70 in house with this family. Why did she and the children go back to the Cryer name, or did she actually ever get married to William??

Rueben Melvin("Melly")Isbell was born in Todd County, Kentucky. He came to Tarrant county, Texas in 1856 with Paul, his father, Jane Amanda (Grady) his mother and brother George Rufus along with several negro slaves.

They settled on a farm of several hundred acres where Carswell AFB was located.

He is my great uncle, his brother Rufus being the father of my father's mother.

Most of the rest of the family is burried in Fort Worth's Pioneer's Rest cemetery on Samuels Avenue in the Baldwin Samuel's plot.

Susan Isbell married Meridith Tyree 1855 in Collin County, Texas

KarnesWandaSloan — 2009-08-12 17:47:06Z

Who is Susan Isbell who married Meridith Tyree in Collin County, Texas in 1855? Census records indicate she was born in Kentucky in 1823. I think she is the Susan Tyree who is buried in Van Alstyne Cemetery in Grayson County, Texas. Susan and Meridith Tyree are in the Collin McKinney household in 1860. Susan is found in later census records living with other McKinney families. She died May 15, 1904 at the Jno. W. McKinney home.
Who were the parents of Susan?

Thank you, Wanda Sloan Karnes

Hello from an Isbell in Virginia.
Any current interest?
Searching for any info on Virginia
Isbell's, that is, any info on Isbell's
in VA.
My ancestors were from Louisa County Va and
their farm dated back to the 1800's I believe
maybe longer than that.
I don't know of any Isbell's in Louisa now.

Susannah Isbell and William Foster, Caroline County, VA

wsbsmith — 2008-12-29 18:02:46Z

Hello,

I'm looking for information on Susannah Isbell and her husband William Foster who lived in Caroline County in the 18th century. I believe that William may have died before 1787, and Susannah may have died circa 1794.

I'm especially interested if anyone has information on any of their land holdings, particularly a 325 acre tract in the southern portion of the county that may have been acquired from Duncan Graham.

This is off subject but I might have a picture. I am the son of John P Isbell of Albertville, Al
About four years ago I found a awesome web site for the Birdwell family. Many of my family pictures I have, are posted there. I would sure like to have that web site again. I could see then if the picture I have with my grandfather and bothers are what you are looking for.

Re: John Gibson Isbell

tomisbell — 2008-12-26 18:02:20Z

Confirming birth and death dates depends on the years of the events. If they were before vital records were kept you may have to rely on Bible records or compiled genealogies. If the dates are from the late 1800's to early 1900's there may be vital records in the county where they lived. Other than that a calculated guess can be made if you can trace them in the census.

Re: Pocahontas

dreamersrose — 2009-02-09 04:28:28Z

That legend came down in my Isbell family, too, through Elizabeth Branch, who married James Isbell. I tracked it down, and it appears that Elizabeth had some cousins that actually were descendants of Pocahontas, and since they all lived in the same county, Elizabeth must have assumed she was, too. But her cousins were related through their mother, an Eldridge, and Elizabeth was not related.

There was also a link established for the Isbells through a Susanna Fleming, but it came from faulty research of a hundred years ago, and is false.

grahamj007 — 2009-02-20 17:34:08Z

I read your posting and I am interested in any additional info you may have. There are a number of coincidences or my story and yours are intertwined. My Great Grandmother was Callie Donnie Isabell/Isbell. She born on 3/201860 in Mobile, Alabama. On 11/28/1878 she married James R. Hunt (Great Grandfather). He was born on 8/22/1844 in Georgetown, Williamson Co., TX. I do not know anything about Callie's parents. I know James' father was Green Hunt. James' older sister was born in Alabama in 1842. The Hunt family must have moved in between the two births. I have always thought that the Isabell/Isbell family went with them. Also, in 1890 James and Callie moved the family to Durant, Oklahoma. If you should have any additional info I would appreciate the help. Please contact me at grahamj@sebastiancorp.net.
Thank You.
Happy Hunting.

I am seeking any information on the parents of Callie Donnie Isbell/Isabell. She was born in Mobile, Alabama in 1860. Her family moved to Texas before she was married to James Hunt in 1878 in Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance and happy hunting.

Re: Phoebe Isbell of Warren County Ky

phylliscox79 — 2009-03-22 20:25:55Z

I have been trying to find info on my own family of Isbell. I'm not sure if Phoebe Isbell is part of it or not, but my grandmother was born in Warren County, KY around 1914 as "Alma Mae Isbell", she later changed her middle name to "Louise". She married "Alvin White". My grandmother's parents were named "Luther or "Luke" and Edna Virginia or "Nettie". My grandmother had three brothers named "Felix", "James Elvis" and Horace Isbell", all of Warren County. I believe they lived on a farm somewhere in "Alvaton" (the spelling may not be right). There was some scandal as her father and brothers also had a "still" for moonshine and there was a murder. I know there are no grave markings for her parents or the brother Felix. James Elvis Isbell does have a stone and is buried in a cemetary in Bowling Green, KY in Warren County. I don't know if this is helpful or not. If you know of any findings on the above mentioned people, please email me, I would appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Phyllis Cox

Re: Seeking info on: Willis Frank Isbell m. Ruth Mary Bodkin 1859 in Shelby County, KY

phylliscox79 — 2009-03-22 20:05:44Z

I am replying as Kentucky mentioned in your posting caught my eye. My grandmother was born Alma Mae Isbell in Warren County, Kentucky. She had three brothers named Felix, James Elvis and Horace Isbell. Their parents were Luther or "Luke" and Edna Virginia or "Nettie" Isbell. Her mother's maiden name was "Miller" and further back the
Cherokee name of "Weatherspoon" or "Witherspoon" on her mother's side. The name Isbell is so unusual, you don't hear of it very often. I don't know if Willis Frank Isbell is any relation or not, but wanted to communicate to you my findings on my own family.

Thank you. Sincerely,
Phyllis Cox
