Family Ancestry Notes:
Isaiah was born March 10, 1810 (or February 11, 1808) near Rheatown, in Greene County, Tennessee to   as the eighth child of Samuel McNeese and Lydia Marsh. He was a Quaker as was his father. On March 13, 1826 he married Mary "Polly" Keller in Greene County the service was performed by Thomas McLain a Baptist minister. Mary must not have been a Quaker because as per the April 29, 1828, New Hope Monthly Meeting records Isaiah was disowned by the Meeting for marrying contrary to discipline

When Isaiah's father, Samuel, died in 1838, he willed his home and 177 acres of land to Isaiah on the condition that he would come on the plantation and take care of his mother, Lydia.Isaiah sold this property to Abraham Crumley for $300 on March 21, 1839 on the stipulation that Abraham had to take care of his mother as he was supposed to have done. Abraham was the husband of Isaiah's sister Jane. Abraham kept the land for almost 20 years and on may 11, 1859 he deeds it to Gravener and Rachel J. McNeese for $350 on the
condition that they provide firewood, care for, and maintain Lydia, mother of Isaiah, Jane, and Gravener as mentioned in Samuel's will.

In 1840, Isaiah was living in Greene County with Mary and 7 children.

Isaiah and Mary had 10 children, nine of which were born in Greene County, and the last in Illinois.

Isaiah McNeese took his family and left Tennessee about 1844 moving westward passing through Kentucky and ended up in Shelby County, Illinois in the area of Strawsburg and Stewardson. Strawsburg and Stewardson are due South of Sullivan on Route 32. There is a cemetery in Stewardson where many of the family members are buried.

Isaiah's brother William Ledra also moved to Illinois, but we do not know if they came at the same time.

His son, George Washington McNeese's, obituary indicates they moved from Greene County when George was 5, (1850) and settled near Stewardson.

In 1850 he is in list the Shelby County, Illinois census living with Mary and 8 children Lucy, Jane, Orleans, Rachel, Lucinda, James, George W., and Alabama.

Isaiah died on October 16, 1856 and Mary died thirteen years later on August 8, 1869. They are buried a short distance apart in the Spain Cemetery in Shelby County, Illinois. Isaiah headstone reads McNees and Mary's reads McNeese. -- Information give to me by William "Bill" McNeese
