Confederate service record of John Q. Isbell, son of Ezekiel Isbell (courtesy of Pat Brown). He was actually born 20 Apr 1835 (or Nov. 1832 according to other researchers), rather than 1814 as the replacement headstone shows. Some Isbell genealogy researchers give his name as John Quincey Isbell. He married 8/16/1853 in Shelby Co., AL Margarette M. Brasher, born 1840 (not 1815). She was the same age as John and Dicy Brasher's daughter Margaret, who was shown in their household in 1850 in Mississippi, although she was still shown at home in the 1860 census which indicates she was not their daughter unless something odd occurred listing her in two households.
