Isaac Shriver, fourth son of David and Rebecca (Ferree) Shriver, born in the old family homestead at Little Pipe Creek, near Westminster, Carroll County, Maryland, received a good academic education and practical home training in business. Soon after his marriage, he settled in Westminster, Carroll County, Maryland, and actively engaged in business. He became the owner of considerable real estate there and was very prominent in public affairs. He was several times elected to the House of Delegates, the legislative body of the state of Maryland; was a member of that body at the time of the formation of the new county of Carroll, formed and organized largely through his influence in the Legislature. He was chosen president of the Westminster bank, in 1826, and served in that capacity until his death in 1856. He also held many minor offices. He joined the Methodist Protestant Church of Westminster in 1834, and was one of its most zealous and devoted members. He died December 22, 1856.
