Person:Isaac Isham (2)

p. 118 4. ISAAC ISHAM (John), born in Barnstable, Mass. Feb. 7, 1692-93 (Barnstable record Feb. 7, 1682-83); died there in July or Aug. 1771, aged about 78 years; married May 3, 1716, Abigail Lumbert, born in Barnstable Jan. 20, 1692, date of her death unknown, daughter of Joshua and Hopestill (Bullock) Lumbert of Barnstable.

from the brainard book: A correction is necessary in the Barnstable record, which states that Isaac Isham married Thankful Lumbert. It must be remembered that this record is a copy of the original record, made about 1736, in which other errors have been discovered. The emendation is supported by the following facts. Barnstable records have the marriage Sept. 16, 1715, of Edward Coleman and Thankful Lumbert and reveal no other Thankful Lumbert save that one. The will of Joshua Lumbert, proved Nov. 2, 1724, names daughter Abigail Isham. The will of Isaac Isham, dated Mar. 11, 1754, mentions wife Abigail. The emendation therefore seems to be justified.
