♥ s/o Francis Pabody / Lydia Perkins born ca1648 Hampton, Essex Co., MA currently known as Hampton, Rockingham Co., NH

A Miller. Lived in Topsfield, where he inherited the family mansion. His father, out of consideration for Isaac's loss of one of his legs, left to him the principal house and mill. Isaac's wooden leg, after his death, apparently became something of a family relic. In a letter dated 22 Nov 1852, and published in the Danvers Centennial Celebration 1852, C. M. Endicott wrote of Francis Peabody's halberd, added: "A wooden leg said to have belonged to the first Isaac was also handed down in the family of Matthew with this halberd, until the generation preceding Joel [1800 1861], when by some means the leg was lost.

Isaac died in 1727. His will, dated 21 Oct 1726 Proved 2 Jan 1726/7 signed Isaac Peabody. He bequeathed to his wife, Elizabeth, sons Francis, Isaac, Matthew, Eastis, and Joseph [to whom he gave his grist-mill], daughter's Mary of Boston, Philadelphia, Sarah, Ann and Hepsibath*.
