Livingston Isbell married Nancy Ann Martin and had two daughters that I know of, Frances L. Isbell and Susana Childs Isbell. Livingston Isbell was born 17 Nov 1751 in Albermarle County, VA and died in Wilkes County NC the son of James Isbell and Frances Livingston.

Frances L. Isbell married Ambrose Parkes. They had a daughter Martha Parkes who was born about 1799. How many other children they had I do not know.

Martha Parkes Isbell was born about 1799 and married Benjamin Isbell about 1818.

Benjamin Isbell was born 19 Oct 1785 the son of Thomas Isbell and Discretion Howard.

Thomas Isbell was the son of James Isbell and Frances Livingston and a brother to Livingston; therefore, Benjamin married his first cousin's daughter.
