Ezekiel ISBELL was born about 1837 in Jackson County, Alabama. He died on 31 Dec 1864 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. [Fields2.FTW]

Ezekiel was in the 29th Alabama Infantry Regiment. He enlisted at Wilsonville (Shelby County) Jan. 22, 1862. He was a patient in Ross Hospital at Mobile, Alabama September 20-24, 1863 with fever. He was captured at Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia on July 3, 1864 and imprisoned at camp Douglas, Illinois where he died of Chronic Diarrhea December 3, 1864. He was buried in Grave # 360, Block 2, Chicago City Cemetery. Parents: Ezekiel ISBELL and Francis UNKNOWN.

He was married to Unknown UNKNOWN about 1860. Children were: Ezekiel R. ISBELL.

Ezekiel ISBELL was born about 1857. Parents: William M. ISBELL and Mary Ann RABURN.

Ezekiel ISBELL was born about 1801 in (probably) Warren County, Kentucky. He died after 1880 in Saint Clair County, Alabama. [Fields2.FTW]

The name of Ezekiel's father is not documented. However there is circumstantial evidence that Ezekiel was either the son or the grandson of Jason and Polly Isbell. Ezekiel's first two children are named Polly and Jesse and his third is named Hugh Gentry Isbell after his father-in-law, Hugh Gentry. Repeatedly in the Isbell family it is found that individual's named Jason go by the name Jesse, the two names being used interchangeably. So Ezekiel did have a son who carried Jason's name. Probably Ezekiel was either a son or grandson of Jason and he may have been raised by Polly in either case.

Ezekiel's age on both the 1830 and 1840 census indicate Ezekiel was born between 1800-1801. Since his eldest child, Polly was born 7 April 1820, the year of 1801 is realistic. For his birthplace, he gives TN in 1850 and 1860. Then in 1870 and 1880 he gives KY. Parents: Jason ISBELL and Polly UNKNOWN.

He was married to Nancy GENTRY in 1819 in (probably) Jackson County, Alabama. Children were: Polly ISBELL, Jesse ISBELL , Hugh G. ISBELL.

Frances married Peter Gray Basden at the age of 14. She was married at her father's house and had her father's consent on her marriage license. Some time after that they settled in Baylor Co., TX. She was a housewife and the family lived on a farm.
The 1900 census indicates that she could read but couldn't write, so she must have had some schooling when she was young. Sometime after Peter had built their new house, Frances's brother Rob visited the family for about a week. From this visit, it is obvious that she corresponded with her family.
When the family lived on a farm near Post Oak in Clay Co., Frances would often send one of the children with food left over from their meals to families camped nearby. She went to the fields one day with Peter where they were harvesting hay. On the way back the wagon was stacked high with hay bales and they were riding on top of the bales. The wagon hit a ravine and she fell off injuring herself. She may have been pregnant with her last daughter, or it may have happened after her daughter's birth and death. At any rate it was probably this injury that caused her death.--Dan Yaklin "Isbell Family History" Parents: George Washington ISBELL and Lucy Ann BARKER.

She was married to Peter Gray BASDEN on 10 Sep 1891 in George Washington Isbell's Home; Colbert Co., Alabama.⁽⁸³⁴⁶⁾ Children were: Oliver Plasant BASDEN, Nannie Lee BASDEN, Nelley Gray BASDEN, Clyde Julian BASDEN, Marvin BASDEN, Stella Mae BASDEN, Mammie BASDEN, Ernest BASDEN.
