Information concerning the family of Isaac and Hannah Jackson Thomas was obtained from the Sesiqui-Centennial gathering of the descendants of Isaac and Ann Jackson at Harmony Grove, Chester County, Pennsylvania 8-25-1875 together with the
family genealogy published by the committee for the family in 1878.
Page 127 refers to (his son-in-law) Jacob Mendenhall completing his studies in Enoch Lewis boarding school and while there was alternately scholar and tutor in the mathematical department. After his marriage and removal to Waterford, Virginia
he established a school and it is said he was one of the most studious hardworking teachers of that day. His close application in promoting the interests of his school in connection with a number of trustworthy offices of the then incorporated
village, caused his health to give way under a rapid decline until his death.
Isaac married Hannah Jackson on 7 Nov 1781. Hannah was born on 15 May 1757 in Ireland; died on 25 Sep 1813. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

grandfather clocks and Caleb Hibbard, son of Benjamin [and son-in-law to Isaac] made some of them in the 19th century. One of Caleb's clocks in the possession of his grandson, Frances W. Hibbard, stated that the case was made of cherry and the
works of brass. The clock stood eight feet high and [was] a good time-keeper. He made it in Chester Co. Pennsylvania before he was married. One of Isaac's clocks was in 1936 in the possession of Mrs. Edward T. Biddle of West Chester,
Pennsylvania. It has a plate in the dial with the name of Isaac Thomas, Willistown, Pennsylvania. Another of these clocks with Isaac's name on it was bought from Isaac by Amos Garrett Thomas (widow of Mordecai Thomas) grandson of mordecai and
