   ISAIAH BISSEY farmer, P.O. Point Pleasant, was born in 
the place where he has always lived. His father, Jacob 
Bissey, also lived here. He was born July 28, 1768, and died 
in April, 1833. He was a weaver as well as a farmer, and was 
an industrious man, highly spoken of by those who remember 
him. He was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal 
church. His wife was Mary Weisel, who was born August 19, 
1780, and died October 15, 1872. Their children were 
Susanna, Catherine, Isaiah, Amos, Julian, Jonas, Elias, 
Mahlon, Charlotte and Silas. Those living are Charlotte, 
wife of Bauer Nonamaker, of Plumstead township; and Isaiah, 
who was born March 1, 1812. The others are deceased. Isaiah 
married Lidy, daughter of Michael Walter, who was born in 
Bedminster township. She died leaving three children:  
Hannah, widow of Jacob Long, in Doylestown; Rachel, wife of 
Josiah Worman, living with her father; and Catherine, also 
at home. Mr. Bissey married for his second wife the widow of 
Moses Fox, who had been a Miss Mills. To this union two 
children were born:  Isabella, who died in infancy; and 
Emma, wife of Isaac R. Lear, of Plumstead. Mr. Bissey, by 
industry and careful habits, has acquired a well-earned 
competence and the esteem of his fellow-men.
