Isaac was probably born in Rowan Co. NC.  He's believed to be one
of the sons of Francis Marbury on the 1790 Rowan Co. NC Census.
 He first shows up in Rowan Co. Marriages Records.
 Birth estimated by Census records.

Isaac Marbury/Marberry
b 1774 - 1775 NC
d aft 1820
m (1) 1792 - 1795 Rowan Co. NC
Rebecca Biles
b
d bef 24 Oct 1797
Rowan Co. NC?

(2) 24 Oct 1797 Rowan Co. NC
Presay "Priscilla"? Moore
b 1774 - 1784
d 1830 - 1840?

This marriage bond is not dated.  Richard D. Speight, Sr. was Governor of
North Carolina 1792 - 1795.  Thus we know that Isaac & Rebecca
were married during this time period.

In 1800 Montgomery Co. NC, Isaac & Presay
had one male under 10 years old.
In 1811 Bedford Co. TN, Isaac was commissioned
a Captain of the Militia Regiment, Capt. James Yell's Company.
In 1812, Isaac Marberry, along with John Marberry, is listed
on the Bedford Co. TN Tax List.
(Bedford Co. was created from Rutherford Co. TN 1807.  Bedford's
court houses have been destroyed by fire and a tornado.  Loss of
records makes it more difficult, but not impossible, to prove residence.  )
(Did Isaac & Presay migrate to Bedford Co. abt 1810 with
John & Eleanor Marbury Moore?  It seems probable.)

How Many Children?
We don't know, nor can we identify any!

On the 1820 Stewart Co. TN Census, Isaac had in his household,
1 male under 10, 2 males 16 - 26, 1 male over 45 (himself),
1 female under 10, 2 females 10 - 16, 1 female 16 - 26,
and 1 female over 45 (wife).  It's possible that some of
these young children were grandchildren.

We cannot establish Isaac's residence after the 1820
Stewart Co. TN Census.  Did he migrate to Anderson
Co. TN?  There's an Isaac on the 1830 & 1840
Anderson Co. Census in the right age group.
