Notes - !NOTE:no hard evidence James is Isom's son, but he fits on several levels. Isom had an unknown son 1820/25 per 1830 census. His 1837 and 1838 tax entries show 2 males over 16, so this child had to be born ca 1820-21, and James was on his own in 1839, by then Isom still had 2 males over 16, but his son Michael was then 16, so it works all around, and James and Isom were neighors in 1850;
