Since there are more connections than originally suspected , I am sending the List what I've deduced to this point. It appears Mary Hallman married her Uncle Frederick!, as one put it "she probably caught the eye of some young dandy at Thanksgiving dinner and he waited for her to grow up a bit" Generation No. 1 1. Frederick1 Isett was born Aft. 1716, and died Abt. 1802. He married Rebecca Markley, daughter of Jacob Merckle and Barbara Dotterer. Notes for Frederick Isett: Frederick and his brother Jacob, both under 16, came over on the ship Pennsylvania with a little colony from Rotterdam, including their Lutheran pastor. and arrived at Philadelphia 9-11-1732. It is said their father died on the voyage and their mother married here afterwards. (Name also appears as Isacc) She came over with a large sum of gold and bought farms for both of her sons. Jacob's farm is now included within the Philadelphia city limits with Girard College standing on part of the farm. Frederick's farm was near Trappe and is now known as "Warner Farm" (circa 1923) Children of Frederick Isett and Rebecca Markley are: 2 i. Barbara M2 Isett, born 1757; died June 19, 1835. 3 ii.
