| Name |
HALSTEAD, Isaac |
| Birth |
2 May 1763 |
Rockland, Sullivan County, New York, USA  [2, 3, 4, 5, 6] |
- S#363 - poss. born New York City, see p.1 of "350 Years of Halsteads..."
LaDonna: Reference gr-gr-gr-grandpa Isaac b.date you had given me below:
Isaac HALSTEAD Sr #1[2May1763 prob. Kakiac - Orange NY to 2Apr1863 Penline PA];
*#1-Hester Halstead Pier. A; N p.8
it appears that contrary to the date "1763" shown by Wardwell in his May 23, 1936 letter, and the information in Seversmith's 1944 manuscript, that in fact in his notes on the same page of the 3-ring note paper mentioned above, he also noted that #363 is "1768 not 1763" so I would suppose this also needs changed [unless you have discovered documentation otherwise in the sources, i.e. Dutch Reformed, etc.]. OR NOT? You know, Wardwell also gave us the date of 4 August 1768 for the birth of #365 Phebe. At this point, I am hesitant to change the birth date of Isaac - - - until there comes to me some indication regarding a change of the birth date of Phebe S#365, and a more credible verification [i.e. birth/death certificate, etc.] of the "1768" date for Isaac.
Do you have any other sources substantiating the b.date? Gary

Notes from Sandy Hagern: "The 1850 census states Isaac’s age as 83 and Caroline as 80. Both the 1850 & 1860 census were enumerated in August & Sept., so if you use those ages you come up with a birth year of 1767 which would fit for Isaac #2 below. I remember seeing somewhere a discussion on Isaac’s birth year???? If Isaac #2 below is our Isaac it would be consistent with the 1850 & 1860 census, since he is listed in the 26-44 yr range. The 1810 census enumeration date was August 10, 1810. Unfortunately, the 1810 census for Ohio was lost."

Cousin LaDonna shares: "Gary, Re: Isaac Halstead That is precisely why I haven't changed the birthdate from 1763 to 1768. Unless sister Phoebe is wrong & we have no information about them being twins. I left it 1763. A carelessly written '3' can look like an'8' very easily & vice-versa. My sources remain the same. Other than Wardwell & Hester (wonder if she is still with us) I have two LDS sources entered that I put very little stock in.
You know there is an Isaac Halstead (#414) b- 17 Jul 1768 m-Mary Jane Jones b-10 Feb 1773. He was the son of Jacob Halstead & Rachel Smith.
Source:
Hester (letter)
Early Orange Co NY Will p243
Halstead Bible Records (LI Hist. Soc.)
Maybe that is the source of the confusion of year dates?? I still go with a poorly written '3'.

"Bible & Family Records Trumball Co, Ohio"; HALSTEAD pgs.341-347 - p.342 "Halstead of the New Paltz N.Y. and Johnston County, Ohio Family" cites "Bible record dates" and lists Isaac's birth as 2 May 1763.

- Cousin Sandy Hagen write: "With this listing of children, it makes the case for the 1810 census of Isaac in Warwick, Orange Co., New York. Remember, there was a missing daughter, but his age was under 44. Which make 3 censuses in agreement with the 1768 birth year." which references two [2] quandaries regarding Isaac Halsted. The 1st being that all census data points to a 1768 vs 1763 date of birth for Isaac, and the 2nd addressing Isaac's where about in 1810, bearing in mind the comment of Art Wardwell in his 1936 letter to Ernest Wileder Halstead where Wardwell states Isaac was in the 1810 census for Johnston township, Trumbull Co., OH - - - I believe that cousin Sandy is correct in her conclusion that Isaac and Caroline were in Warwick for that year's census count.

In a message to cousin Sandy I proposed: "I believe that it is fairly well established that Isaac was at Warwick probably from 1780 to 1810 when we feel we have placed him with the census. And Isaac and Carolyn had moved to New Paltz where they "were made members of the church at New Paltz, Ulster County, NY 12 Apr 1811." We are then told "Isaac and Caroline Halsted received their letter of formal dismissal from the Dutch Reformed Church at New Paltz 20 May 1816, when they removed to Ohio" - per Grace Wiinagle I believe it possible that further research may reveal that "Hulsted, Isaac" showing on the 1820 may actually be 22 year old Isaac Halsted Jr. And sister Hannah may even have been living with her brother Isaac at that time...What do you think?"

Gary ~ Hi, how are you? Are you feeling better? I hope so. I was entering the discrepancies for Grdpa Isaac in my database and have discovered that I will have to eat crow concerning Isaac’s immigration to Ohio. I rechecked the census records from 1800-1830. There are three Isaac Halsteads listed in the 1800 census, one in Newburgh, one in Cheesecoches (later named Monroe) and one in Warwick. These three Isaac’s are listed in the 1810 census in the same places. Then in the 1820 census the Isaac in Warwick disappears, but the other two remain in Newburgh and Monroe. By 1830 the only one remaining is the Isaac of Newburgh.
Remember it was the 1820 census for Monroe that I kept thinking was our Isaac and you said he might not have ever been in Monroe, well now I think that Isaac was probably the one in the 1800 and 1810 census for Monroe. I went back and checked the census for Johnston Twp, Trumbull County, Ohio for 1820. I kept passing over the Isaac Hadsel listed below, because I thought our Isaac was still in New York.
I checked the transcription of the last names with ancestry.com and genealogy.com and they had the same transcriptions. These were also transcribed in the order they were found on the page. I would like to know if you think that Isaac Hadsel is indeed our Isaac Halstead. Isaac Hadsel only turns up in this one census record at genealogy.com. Since I think you will come to the same conclusion I did I will go find a crow to have for lunch and apologize for my pig-headness. But………..of course this leaves me with another question. Was the Hannah Halstead who married Abraham Forshee really the daughter of our Isaac or the Isaac who was in Monroe from 1800-1820, he does have a daughter that would fit Hannah and the families are on the same census page in the 1810 census. If she isn’t (our Isaac’s daughter) it would explain why there was a daughter missing in the 1810 census for our Isaac, why Grace Winnagle had no listing in her book for Hannah and why Martha Charlotte’s statement mentions only one Aunt.
Do you have an Isaac Halstead who settled in Monroe from about 1800-1820, I haven’t found one yet. In the 1800 census the oldest male is listed in the 26-44 age range, then another male 16-25 (maybe a brother?!?!?). Let me know if you want the rest of the years. Thanks and take care of yourself. ~ Sandy

- Gary ~ I have been searching for Grandpa’s Isaac, David D. and Philetus in the 1840 census for months and finally hit pay dirt today. I believe I found all three ;~) ! The trouble with the census from 1840 back is they list only the heads of households so it is difficult to be sure. I found them all in Johnston Twp, Trumbull Co., Ohio. Anyway, I came up with another puzzler for you ;~)
I have always thought it was odd that Betsy & David that they did not have their first child sooner than they did. All the information I have says they had 10 children. Here’s the puzzler:
1840 Census lists in David’s household:
20-30yrs – 1male (probably David)
70-80yrs - 1 male (possibly Isaac as I found him nowhere else)
Under 5yrs – 3 females (fits with his first three children)
5-10yrs – 1 female (puzzler)
20-30yrs – 1 female (probably Betsy)
60-70yrs – 1 female (possibly Caroline)
