Subject: Isaiah Driver b 1767

Isaiah Driver (b. 1767) (m.) Sarah (?) lived in Rushcreek Twp. in Fairfield Co. Ohio. He had sons James and Noah; daughters Rachel, Margaret, Sophia, Ann/Nancy and others. Margaret married James Staton Collins, Jr.

I was also told there is Indian in our Driver family. Never been able to prove it or find another descendant who could help. I have some old pictures that show very dark people, but who knows. I descend from James Driver d 1810 Washington Co., PA. and his son, Isaiah Driver d 1847 Fairfield Co., O.
