Isaac Shirley born 19 June 1785; Isaac first appears in extant records in 1811 Washington Co Kentucky at the time of his marriage to Catherine Hendricks; He was next enumerated in the 1812 Washington Co KY tax list, as over the age of 21, with no slaves and 3 horses; During this period Isaac served in the War of 1812 in Capt.

Isaac appears in a very intriguing marriage record as a witness in 1821 in nearby Mercer Co KY. The marriage was between William Richardson and Elizabeth Moore. The father of Elizabeth was Joseph Moore who had earlier married a Mary Shirley in 1794 in Washington Co KY, daughter of an unknown Adam Shirley (Note: the name Adam is common in Germanic Shirley families). Moreover, two of Isaac Shirleys children married into the Moore family. The family of Joseph Moore intermarried with the Hendrickson family, the same family of Catherine Hendrickson, wife of Isaac Shirley.

By 1830, Isaac had moved his family north of the Ohio River to Decatur Co Indiana where he was next enumerated in the US census; The biography of his son Lunenberg Shirley suggests the family moved to Decatur Indiana about 1825; By 1840, Isaac and h is family along with his married son Lunenberg Shirley had all moved to Livingston Co Missouri; Isaac was listed as age 60-70; In 1841, Grundy County was formed from land in Livingston County and the Shirleys found themselves enumerated in that county in the 1850 census; Isaac was said to be age 63 (born 1787 Illinois) with wife Catherine age 61 and daughter Quintella in the household age 18 (born SC); Isaac Shirley died 20 September 1859 back in Tipton IN age 71; He was buried at Richardson Cem, Sharpsville, Tipton Co IN
