Lived a while on Blenerhassett Island, then moved to Sterling Bottom, OH. (The first Post office in Lebanon twp, Meigs county, was located at Sterling Bottom, about 3/4 mile north of the present village of Portland) Family grown when he came to VA.
(I assume this indicates that the author of this article Ernestine Price of Portland, believed Isaac was the son of Abel - bb)
