General Notes: Husband - Henry Isenberg

---

He and his brothers, Gabriel, Enoch and Nicholas, removed from Maryland to Pennsylvania. They came to Huntingdon County, in 1802, accompanied by a brother-in-law, Mr. Schively, to arrange for the purchase of land. Mr. Schively went to Rock Hill, now Orbisonia, to work at the furnace. The Isenberg brothers went to the vicinity of Alexandria. They returned to Maryland, but the failure of some financial enterprises delayed the bringing of their families until 1804. They came by way of Chambersburg and the Black Log mountains. The difficulties of travel in those days were enormous. There was scarcely a decent wagon road, and the only means of travel was on foot or by heavy road wagons resembling the prairie schooner of the west. The purchase of the land was completed when they reached their destination, and that they were people of means is proved by the fact that the payments were made in cash. They were prominent in the religious life of the community, took part in the erection of the union church at Shafersville, the erection of Keller's and the Alexandria Reformed church.

He lived near Alexandria, Pennsylvania, in 1804, and came to Huntingdon about 1820. He was a blacksmith about twelve years.
