I'm not sure this one is right. He calls himself Isaac sometimes (e.g. 1870 census), but never Joe. And why would he be buried in GR if he lives in Allegan County immediately adjacent to Holland, MI? --pkeegstra 21:59, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Also it seems likely that the wife named in the 1870 and 1880 census is a third wife.
