A Short Bio of Rachel Isaacs and George Harrison

Rachel Isaacs and George Harrison
Rachel Isaacs married George Harrison 3 March 1831 in Clay County.  Rachel was born in April 1813 in Floyd County and was the daughter of Samuel Isaacs and Nancy Baldridge.  George Harrison was born about 1809 in Estill County and was the son of Elisha Harrison and Ipha/Effie Baker. 
A bond for the marriage of George Harrison and Rachel Isaacs was filed in Clay County.  
George Harrison and Rachel Isaacs joined in holy marriage 3 March 1831  -- signed: E.W. Bowman, with Henry Gabbard as bondsman.
Mr. Abner Baker, sir:  Pleas to let George Harrison have marriage lisons for my daughter Rachel Isaacks and her father is dead, and you will much oblig your friend, Nancy Isaacs, given under my hand this 2 March 1831 also signed by Henry Gabbard and James Isaacks.
In 1840 George and Rachel were in Madison County.  According to the 1900 census they had nine children.  I have only been able to identify eight.  However on the 1840 census Rachel and George have a boy and a girl under five, and a boy and a girl between the ages of five and ten.  Then also have a boy in their household between ten and fifteen.  Since they were married in 1831, I would assume the ten to fifteen year old might have been a brother of George or Rachel's or some other family member.  If the other four children in the household were theirs, then it is likely that the missing child would be a daughter born between 1830 and 1835. 
According to the Madison County Vital Records, in September of 1852 both George Harrison and one of his daughter's died.  
Died of flux in September 1852, George Harrison, 40 years old, male, farmer, resided in Clover Bottom.  
Daughter Harrison, no age given, female, resided in Clover Bottom, daughter of George Harrison, died September 1852 of flux. 
The daughter who died was probably Iphy who was born about 1843.  She appeared on the 1850 but not on the 1860 census.  Or the un-named daughter might have been someone who was born after the census was taken.  
On 6 April 1872 this deed was recorded in the Jackson County Land Records:
John B. Harrison, part of the  party bargained and granted, gift and sold to Rachel Harrison a lifetime  in a fifty acre survey, the remainder to Nancy J. Vance, Elija Harrison, him to have Isaac Harrison's undivided share, Manerva Dickson, Joseph Harrison and William Harrison a part of the  party all of the county of Jackson, for the consideration of $60.00 in wit the above named 50 acres of land [described in the text], I [John B. Harrison] bind myself, my heirs and assignees to make unto the said Rachel Harrison, Nancy J. Vance, Elisha Harrison, Manerva Dickson, Joseph Harrison and William Harrison. Signed by John B. Harrison.
John B. Harrison was the brother of Rachel's late husband George.  This land was probably George's share of the family estate, or something like that.  Rachel was given her "dower right" or 1/3rd of the total and the rest was divided among her children.  I am not sure why Elisha received Isaac's share.  Isaac was still alive. Perhaps he was gifted something earlier, or he was out of favor.  Isaac Harrison was the only one of Rachel's living children that didn't benefit from this deed.
Rachel appeared on the 1880 and 1900 censuses of Jackson County.  In 1900 she said she had nine children and five were still living.  She was listed as 87 years old, and a widow.  She did not appear on the 1910 census.

George W. HARRISON and Rachel ISAACS were married on 3 March 1831 in Clay County, Kentucky.^1,4 Rachel ISAACS, daughter of Samuel ISAACS and Nancy BALDRIDGE, was born in 1813 in Madison County, Kentucky.¹³ One set of parents proposed for Rachel was James & Nancy Isaacs - FamilySearch has this couple as Samuel I. Isaacs and Nancy Agnes Baldridge. The latter seems much more likely.

Andrew, age 13, would have been born several years after his father died - perhaps he is not her son but a grandson. He was not with the family in 1860. Nelly is likely Elisha's wife.
