Some family trees say she was the daughter of John Livingston and Margaret Todd, while others say she was the widow of (their son?) Robert Livingston.
Family records state that Frances Tompkins Livingston Isbell and husband James Isbell were buried at the "Old German Cemetery" (thought to be the same place called Old Dutch Cemetery by others) across the road from Antioch Church, near Wilkesboro, Wilkes Co., N.C.
What George Carlton and others called "Old German" or "Old Dutch Burying Ground" is located on property that first belonged to Thomas Carlton (1756-1845) who married first Mary Land (1759-1796), daughter of Thomas Land and Anna Sumter, and married in 1799 Catherine Livingston (d.1837). Some also call it the Thomas Carlton family cemetery.
Mary Land Carlton's brother Jonathan Land (1758-1820) married Elizabeth Isbell (1762-1820), daughter of James and Frances Tompkins Livingston Isbell.
James Isbell and Frances Tompkins Livingston had just 10 children, named in the family Bible. Because the Livingston name appears handed down in several other branches of the Southern Isbells, some have claimed (based on nothing but speculation) that there were other children not named. There were no sons Benjamin and Jason. James Isbell may have been a Livingston descendant and a cousin of his wife Frances Tompkins Livingston.
