After looking a bit further at the lineage of Eleazer Isbell’s wife Elizabeth Bishop, her great-grandfather Deacon George Bartlett is NOT accepted as a grandson of Richard Warren of the Mayflower. That is shown in Bucks County (PA.) QUAKERS by David Eyre but it is not correct. There are just a few references to Deacon George Bartlett possibly being or not being the son of Robert Bartlett and wife Mary Warren, but it does not appear to be correct. And descendants of Eleazer Isbell Jr. are not accepted into the Mayflower Society on this line of his mother's. I regret I copied that and posted it without studying it further and hope it doesn't lead anyone astray. The gedcom cited on Rootsweb looks correct as far as the Isbell lineage and it cites the normal sources for the Isbells (Hist. of the Isbell Family, 1929, by Mary I. Scott, Descendants of Robert Isbell, 1944, by Edna Warren Mason, etc.) A number of other members of the family of Robert Isbell of New England did marry into Mayflower families and are accepted into the Mayflower Society, and some are members, but on other lines. Eleazer Isbell is mentioned on page 626 of A Catalogue of the Names of the Puritan Settlers (1852) by Royal Ralph Hinman. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/177141664/direct/01/

Yes, He did. Great guy, willing to share. I know Bob is overjoyed. I really didn't know how anxious he was to learn of his family. He's the last in his line, so it matters even more to him. It's all printed and in a binder divided by subject, set for him to review and explain to him. I believe I can answer most of it, if not, I'll ask more questions. (Which there likely shall be.)

Hi, Wayne, Yes, I've been trying to be a genealogist for many years. Trying, because I'm dead-ended, primarily with Irish records. I find that trying. Other records have been found. I'm so glad the internet information systems have improved. Scrolling through films was so hard. Yes, I will explain your information to him as best I can. Thank you from both Bob and myself. Joyce Stevens Bob is the widower of a very dear friend. He was vague about his ancestry and did not express an active interest until recently. -----Original Message----- From: isbell-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:isbell-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of waygin@sprynet.com Sent: Tuesday, December 29, 2009 1:53 AM To: isbell@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ISBELL] New Member request info for a friend, please?

Thank you so very much. I've shared your work with Bob Isbell who is elate d with the information and very surprised to say the least. He gave me more information than he initially provided. My next step is to write to the Mayflower Society, which I strongly believe must have been the recipient of someone's wish to become a member. I will also ask the DAR for their information on Eleazer Isbell, Jr. Bob has information, not verification, that Eleazer Jr. was killed in 1777 while fighting "for the good guys." (my own family were Loyalists with one Patriot). Bob holds a booklet with Isbell information going back many years. He has promised to copy his information and give that to me. It is my intention to scan it and then offer to send it online to whoever might have use for it. I also think the library there would use a copy of it as well. Again, thank you. You made Bob's day and me too.

Everything here is documented. There is more and another generation, If I'm right with my thinking. Anyway, let me know what to do from here. I'll move this to MSWord so if I need to organize it, I can easily. If you can, great as I'm not home. I'm in Bardstown KY working on finding an elusive 4ggrandmother. We hve to be in AR by 5 Jan so I'm limited on time. I could do it when we get to AR. I know he wants it asap.

Richard L. Isbell, graphic artist and typographer, died December 3rd in or near Detroit, Michigan, at age 85. The December 10th issue of the Detroit News carried an informative article on this distant cousin that tells us a lot about him. http://detnews.com/article/20091210/OBITUARIES/912100413/Graphic-designer-thrived-on-the-ABCs-of-art Until reading this, about all I knew was his name and that he had designed the ITC Isbell font. Someone had given me a neat little booklet on ITC Isbell a few years ago which gave very little personal information about the man himself but had always piqued my curiosity. Chances are that there probably are quite a few Isbells driving around in cars with this man's design logos on them, too. Here are a few other links that may be of interest: http://new.myfonts.com/person/Richard_Isbell/ http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/itc-isbell/isbell-book/ http://www.searchfreefonts.com/font/cg-isbell-volume.htm Here is his ancestry: Benjamin Isbell + Lettice Hickman Jason Livingston is bell b.1754 + Jinsey Cox Paschal H. Isbell + Clarissa Sears Lewis/Louis Isbell 1848-1939 + Cornelia Ann York Roy Floyd Isbell b 11 JUN 1890 + Catherine B. Richard L. Isbell, born June 9, 1924, in Kingsville, Ontario, died Dec. 3, 1909. _________________________________________________________________ Get gifts for them and cashback for you.

Here's a story about cemetery recognition and preservation which just happens to mention the Isbell Construction Company of Nevada. The video is as interesting in pictorial and other aspects as the text version though it doesn't name the construction company, only briefly referring to that incident. http://www.kolotv.com/news/headlines/66720222.html Before the horrified gaze of neighbors and young children, the big drag line used by Isbell Construction tore into the earth ripping bodies and coffins in half. "I still remember it," says Cassinelli. "You don't forget something like that."
