He married Julian Hughes sometime in 1840's (after 1842- I have not been able to locate their marriage info). They had no children together that I know of. I think Isham Sr. died in Russell County ( I have located him on later census's... either in 1870 or 1880 he is living in Jamestown Kentucky "living the retired life"). I personally dont have any info on him other than how he ties into my family; however, there are several records in Russell County that I have seen over the years dealing with Bolin (and its variant spellings). At the KDLA, Kentucky Archives, also has some of the original court & legal records, which I observed while doing research. Again, sorry I dont have specifics but if you get a chance to go to either place you may find some stuff.
