Isaac worked with his father David at their cotton mill and on their farm in Oneida County, New York. He helped build the first school in their neighborhood and taught there as well.

Isaac married his first wife Charlotte Morrison in Oneida County, New York, although she died shortly after giving birth to their son Frank Morrison Pixley, in 1825. Isaac then married Ann Butler in Oneida County and moved with her to farm in Le Roy, Genesee County, New York. A few years later she also died, in 1850. Afterward he lived in Wisconsin until moving to California in the mid-1860s.

(Some think that he married a Hannah Curtiss Butler, although according to a Pixley family genealogy he was only married twice.)
