Isaac Veatch died in the cholera epidemic at New Albany in 1833. He was buried in the old city graveyard.

"The Northern Burying ground (Fairview Cemetery) was laid out in the year 1841, and quite a number of graves were removed there from the city graveyard on Lower First Street, between Elm and Oak." Whether his was among the graves actually moved to Northern Burial Ground (now Fairview Cemetery) is unknown, but the old city graveyard was ultimately destroyed.

Isaac Veatch was the son and grandson of Revolutionary War soldiers.

Isaac Veatch grew up on a farm in Tennessee. He then moved (1811-1812) with his family to Harrison County. There he served as pastor of the Old School Baptist Church. After the death of his wife in 1822 he went to Meade County, Kentucky, where he lived for two years. He then settled in Luce Township, Spencer County, Indiana. In the following time he was politically active. In 1827-1828 he was a member of the House of Representatives from Indiana. The last year he ran unsuccessfully for re-election. The 1830 census shows him in Luce, Spencer County. He moved in 1831 to New Albany and then a year later to Clark County. He died in 1833 in New Albany during a cholera epidemic.

Isaac Veatch was married twice. On July 27, 1806 he married Lucinda Ramsey. The couple had eight children together, among them John A. (1808-1880) and James Clifford Veatch (1819-1895). John served as First Lieutenant and later as captain during the Mexican War (1846-1848). He also worked as a surgeon, Surveyor and scientists. James first served as a Colonel and later brigadier general during the American Civil War (1861-1865). He also worked as a lawyer and politician. He began compiling the Veatch family history tracing to his great-great-grandfather James Veitch from Scotland.

On September 29, 1822 Lucinda Ramsey Veatch died in Harrison County. After her death, Isaac Veatch married on April 17, 1823 to Mary Sprigg. The couple had seven children together.

Mary Sprigg was the daughter of Leven Sprigg and wife Mary Fowler. Leven Sprigg was the son of James Sprigg and wife Elizabeth; grandson of Edward Sprigg (1677-1751) and Elizabeth Pile; great-grandson of Thomas Sprigg and Eleanor Nuthall.
