Isaac Leabo was the son of Noah Leabo and Eunice Gillette. He was the grandson of a French soldier, Francois Isaac LeBas, who served in the Soissonais Regiment of General Rochambeau's French Expeditionary Army at the Seige of Yorktown during the Revolutionary War. He married Mary "Polly" Lewis, the daughter of William Martin Lewis and Hannah Louise Snethen, on July 21, 1836, in Boone County, Indiana. They had thirteen children: William P. E., Noah, Hannah, John, Isaac, Unicy, Walter, Mary, Emily, Joseph, Sarah, William E., and Thomas. They were pioneers who moved first to Missouri and then to Oregon in 1846. They were in the first wagon train to travel over the Applegate Trail into southern Oregon. When their oxen became too weak to pull their wagons near modern-day Eugene, they made a dugout cannoe and floated down the Willamette River to Salem. Isaac was visiting his daughter and son-in-law, Hannah and Charles Phar, in Larene, Washington when he died. He is buried without a tombstone in the Mountain View Cemetery next to Charles Phar.
