| Notes |
- John bought land from his brother Samuel in Colchester, Connecticut in 1746, and apparently moved there straight away. 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.
Up to the day of his death, John kept himself busy about his barn. On the final day, feeling a bit ill, he returned to the house and asked for a warm drink. Before it could be prepared,he had expired in his chair.
On his stone is engraved "Sacred to the memory of Mr. John Isham who died March 2nd A.D. 1802 in YE 81st. year of his Age Make Jesus Christ your Friend".
