Isham married 1, 2 (1) Martha Nolen in Aug 1873. Martha was born about 1845 in Tennessee.

The 1880 Census reflects that Isham and Martha are divorced. Martha and Jessie were living with her sister, Sarah Ozburn. In 1910, Martha was living with her daughter, Jessie Howse.

W. K. Matthews says she died young but other family records show she married Peay Waller and had 3 children.

Emily married Peay Waller 1 on 6 Jun 1844 in Williamson Co., Tennessee. Peay was born 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 on 25 Oct 1820 in Williamson Co., Tennessee. He died 8 on 8 Jan 1901 in Davidson Co., Tennessee. He was buried 9 in Binkley-Steele Cemetery, Davidson Co., Tennessee.

The 1900 Census of Davidson Co., Tennessee reflects the couple have been married for 56 years. They have had 3 children and 2 are living. Apparently Mary is deceased since James and Josh are living in the home. Josh shows that he is single and James reflects that he is a widow. However, this may be in error since we do find a marriage license for Josh but none for James. Naturally it is possible that they obtained a marriage record and then did not marry. In any event, he is at home and shown as single on the 1880 Census.

They had the following children:

4966 M i James P. Waller was born on 6 Nov 1845. He died on 11 Nov 1922.
