The Civil War CSA cavalry sword in the Isbell family probably belonged to this man (it has been passed down and now belongs to Billy M. Day, Jr.). George Washington Isbell (or "Wash") was probably in the Confederate army along with some cousins and his brother Marion (who went by "Shug"). He may have helped get a relative fighting for the Union released from a Confederate prison. Various information has him (or someone of the same name) as having enlisted as a Private in the 29th Alabama Infantry, a Private in Company D of the 11th Alabama Cavalry, or less likely, a Captain in Company G, 2nd Mississippi State Cavalry in Houston, Mississippi at age 21. May have been a battlefield acquisition, as the 29th Alabama Infantry fought at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, where "sabers were lying around thicker than dead and wounded."-Source: Mary Lu Johnson, letter from January 12, 1995

In the 1880 census it states that both of George's parents were born in Alabama. In the 1900 census it states that both were born in Tennessee.
On his daughter's marriage certificate to Peter Gray Basden he marks his signature with an "X", but in the 1900 census it states that George can read and write. The "X" may have been some form of protest, but this is not clear since he allowed the marriage to take place in his home. After Mark moved to Oklahoma and Newt followed him (after a fight in which Newt thought he killed a man), George decided to move his family to Oklahoma 1894. As Thomas Washington Isbell recalled many years later, they passed through Hartshorne, Oklahoma on Thanksgiving Day 1894 after a long, grueling wagon trip.
When they arrived in Pittsburgh Co., George decided to settle his family near a spring with a natural arch formed in rock. It was later to become a popular place for picnickers and young people. In those days in Indian Territory you just found a spot you liked and settled down and started farming it. George and his family lived in a log cabin near the spring, but it is not certain if he built it or if it was already there when he arrived. He farmed the land in the valley near his cabin. The 1900 census also indicates that George did not own the property he was living on. Also four of his sons were living with him. His other two sons were living next door. His youngest son, Charles, was living with his older son Mark and his wife. Parents: William ISBELL and Martha STANFIELD.
