As I said, there is confusion and disagreement about the lineage of Livingston Isbell (born 1825 KY). There are a couple of other versions online, one of which gives: James Isbell + Frances T. Livingston James Isbell + Caroline Childs/Chiles Livingston Isbell 1785-1850 + Mary Jane Colvin Livingston Isbell 1825-1883 + Sarah Myers I don't know that this one is correct either, though. > To: isbell@rootsweb.com > Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 15:47:03 +0000 > Subject: [ISBELL] Richard A.

Curtis 1926 – 2012 > > As I say, I'm just assuming they are correct. > Because I often see confusion about the various Livingston Isbells. Some are descended from James and Frances Tompkins Livingston Isbell, but many others are descended from Benjamin Isbell and Jason Livingston Isbell yet they are often mixed up with the descendants of James and Frances. > > Did your paper trail end?
