Children of Philip Isley and Unknown are:
ii. Jacob Isley, born Abt. 1782 in Orange County, North Carolina; died Abt. 1853 in Alamance County, North Carolina; married Elizabeth Councilman June 20, 1809 in Orange County, North Carolina (marriage bond) with Peter Boggs as bondsman.
Information from Rex Isley: We do not know when he and his wife (wives) died or where they are buried. There is a Jacob Isley listed in the 1820 Census but the age range does not match. The 1840 Census lists a Jacob Isley in the correct age range and an adult female in the correct range for his wife. The 1850 Census lists a Jacob Isley, age 60. On 14 March 1853, Jacob wrote his last Will and Testament (copy and transcript are at Appendix 3, The Malachi Isley Story). In his will, Jacob writes that his land is on "the waters of Stinking Quarter". He also writes of "I will and desire that my sons Joel and Elias heirs do not come in unless the rest of the heirs come in for a part of the land that I got by my wife. If they do come in I will and desire that my sons Joel and Elias heirs be made holes out of my Estate.". Additionally, he identifies his children as Joel, Elias, Molly, Sally, Anna, Delilah, and Emily. Extracts of his will are provided below:
. I give and bequeath to my Daughter Molly, wife of Henry Isely a equal share of my Estate after reducting one hundred dollars for a horse heretofore given her.
. I give and bequeath to my Daughter Sally, wife of Tippo Johnston a equal share of my Estate after reducting seventy five dollars for a horse heretofore given her.
. I give and bequeath to my Daughter Anna, wife of John Iseley a equal part of my Estate. . . . My will and desire is that John Iseley is hereby appointed guardian for Delilas Children.
. I give and bequeath to the body of heirs of my Daughter, Delilah, an equal share of my Estate.
. I give and bequeath to my Daughter, Emily, wife of Jeramiah Boggs an equal share of my Estate to be held in the hands of the Executor to be paid to her as needing.
iii. George Isley, born Bet. 1783 - 1786 in Orange County, North Carolina; died Abt. 1864 in Johnson County, Missouri; married Martha "Patsy" Atkinson September 19, 1814 in Orange County, North Carolina; born Abt. 1785 in North Carolina; died Abt. 1864 in Johnson County, Missouri.
Notes for George Isley from Rex Isley:
George moved from NC to Gwinnett County, GA in 1822. He then moved from GA to Jackson County, AL and was enumerated in the 1850 census in Alabama, and then to Johnson County, MO around 1853.
iv. Sally Polly Isley, married William Isley March 24, 1823 in Orange County, North Carolina (marriage bond); born Abt. 1796 in Orange County, North Carolina; died Bet. 1870 - 1880 in Rockingham County, North Carolina.
Notes for Sally Polly Isley:
I have seen information that Sally Polly died before the move the Rockingham County. I do not have any proof in this. Roberta Isley posted a message on RootsWeb that Sally died in 1834.
Notes for William Isley from Rex Isley:
William and Sally Polly eventually settled in Rockingham County. William inherited the Helton track of land and a Negro man named Jim from his father, George. In 1850, William, Jordan, and Dennis were living next to each other in Rockingham County. In 1870, William was living with only his daughter, Margaret Cornelia Isley. He was not listed in the 1880 census.
Sandra�s note: Have seen other information that one of William's unknown sons may have been a Laban/Labern Isley. He married a Frances J. Godsey. Other information that was provided is that he died June 2, 1864 in Gettysburg.

Notes for Daniel Apple, all information on the Apple�s comes from the website of http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~monticue/Apple_history.htm: He states in his pension record that he was born about 50 miles north of Philadelphia, which could be Nazareth or Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Daniel was a member of the Guilford Militia (Book by Fred Hughes, pg. 111, op. cit). Guilford County Historians claim that Guilford County represented the beginning and the end of the Revolutionary War ("The History of Guilford County, North Carolina", by Sallie W. Stockard, 1902. Republished by the Guilford County Genealogical Society, 1983.) It is also speculated that Daniel and his father, Johan Adam Apple, were also members of "The Regulators", see below.
"The Regulators [of Guilford County] were the first company of men banded together in the interest of home rule, or government by the American people in matters relating to their own business, and opposed to Great Britain. Hence their movement was the beginning of the Revolutionary War." Dr. Caldwell and his successor, Dr. Caruthers, both pastors and teachers, led them. A large proportion of men in their congregations were Regulators. LIVES OF CHRISTIAN MINISTERS, by P.J. Kernodle, page 154: "...Adam Apple was reared and married in Germany. He immigrated to America and settled first in Pennsylvania, but afterwards removed to Guilford County, North Carolina. He belonged to the Regulators and took part in the Battle of Alamance." (See below). It is also believed, Daniel, son of Johan, was also part of the "Regulators".
Daniel participated in the Revolutionary War and the information below is from his pension application.
