Hello to all I can't remember who it was, possibly Chas... who was asking about the Isbell family, awhile back. Anyway, I've put some energy into the family, as my great grandmother was Edith Isbell of Eaton. What I have done with this project is used Edna Warren Mason's work: "The Descendants of Robert Isbell in America" along with quite a few other sources, but concentrated on the family as it is related to Madison County. There are 10 generations of the family at: http://pear.4t.com Eventually I will have Mason's book online somewhere but, for now, will offer to do some lookups and be glad to amend this work, if any of you can be of help.
