Isaac Kauffman was one of a group of Anabaptist ministers involved in the Amish division in the late 17th Century. He sided with minister Jacob Amman, which is the source of the term 'Amish'. Isaac also spent time in prison in Switzerland for being an Anabaptist preacher. "Amish & Amish Mennonite Genealogies" has the Kauffman family line that includes Isaac going back to the time of Christopher Columbus.
