Richard Allan Isbell of Columbus, Ohio, is the author of a children's book, Blame it on the Monsters: http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/lifestyles/air-force-veteran-publishes-kids-book/nhf3r/ He is a son of Kenneth Will and Jaqueline K. Isbell; grandson of William Livingston Isbell Jr. and his first wife Edith M. Curtis; great-grandson of William Livingston Isbell Sr. and Marie (Shimmel). Assuming that the family trees online are correct, his lineage is: 1 James Isbell (born circa 1720 Virginia) + Frances Tompkins Livingston 2 Thomas Isbell (Revolutionary War soldier), Wilkes Co, NC + Discretion Howard 3 Livingston Isbell + Mary Edwards 4 Livingston Isbell Jr. + Sarah Meyers 5 Edward E. Isbell + Harriett L. Scott 6 William Livingston Isbell 1885-1964 from Terre Haute, Indiana + Marie Shimmel 11 William Livingston Isbell Jr +1Edith M. 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.
