NOTE:  In Rebecca J. Closs Lake's pension application of May 1895, there
is an affidavit from John Isaac saying that he is Daniel's brother and he
has known Daniel's wife Rebecca since she was 2 or 3 years old. John states
that he is 64 years old and a resident of Macomb, NY.

NOTE:  A census record for John Isaac for the year 1850 has not been found yet
in the state of New York.  There is one or two possibilities in the California
census (gold miners) but the information is too vague to be of any certainty.
