  • Notes 
    • John bought land from his brother Samuel in Colchester CT in 1746. His home appears to have been located in a neighborhood known as Bull Hill, close to what is now known as East Hampton. John acquired additional lands in Colchester, Middletown, and Chatham. The home stood at a corner of the now abandoned road that led from New London to New Haven and Hartford, and he kept a tavern and general store there. His gravestone reads: Sacred to the memory of John Isham who died March 2nd A.D. 1802 in YE 81st year of his Age.
