His death certificate (vol. 52, #25779) states Isaac Quisenberry, age 71 years 2 months 12 days, born 26 June 1865 in Virginia, died 8 Sep 1936 in Rowan Co., Ky, farmer, married, father Oliver Quisenberry, mother’s maiden name Mahala Slusher, both born in Virginia, cause of death intestinal obstruction and chronic myocarditis, informant Ollie Quisenberry, burial in Quesenberry Cemetery.

Liddie (Hall) Quesinberry was wet nurse to Uncle Earl McBrayer (husband of Truby Petitt's sister Martha.)

Rowan County Marriage Register, Book A, p. 71, records marriage of Isaac Quesinberry to Lida A. Hall, 7 Jan 1886, at G. M. Hall's, by W. T. Hall, witnesses Wm M. Caudill, Nancy Quesinberry. (Jean Burchett has that they were married 7 June 1886. One of us must have misread the date.)

The Isaac Quesinberry farm was located three miles from Morehead on the old Flemingsburg Road (Rt. 32). The property now belongs to the J.C. Wells Lumber Company (it is across the highway from the shopping center that has the WalMart.) There is a small cemetery adjacent to the property which is sometimes called Johnson Cemetery and sometimes the Old Quesinberry cemetery.

Most information on this family from Anna Lewman, 406 E. Warrick St., Knightstown, IN 46148, a daughter of Ida Quesenberry & Charles Caudill.

Isaac’s children split pretty much 50-50 on whether they used the spelling Quesenberry or Quesinberry.

1890 Tax Rolls of Hogtown Prec., Rowan Co., KY, lists on p. 36, line 19:
Isaac Quesinberry, no land, 1 male over 21, no children 6-20. (People in other categories are not enumerated. I did not record other property as there were 100 columns for each line in this register!)

1900 census of Rowan Co., KY, Hoggtown twp, prec. #4, district #116, sheet #16, lists family #278:

1910 census of Rowan Co., KY, Christy Creek prec., lists on page 20A, family #348 (next door to his brother Lawson):
Quesinberry, Isaac, 44, farmer, VA VA VA; (w) Lyda A., 47, KY KY KY; married 23 years, 10 children, 9 living. (s) Ollie, 17; (d) Effie, 14; (d) Ida, 12; (s) Irvin, 10; (s) Wesley, 16; (d) Maude, 7/12.
The age for Wesley is off by 10 years. Since he is listed in the correct order for a six-yr-old, probably what happened is that the enumerator started to write a "teen" year like all the preceding children, then entered the 6 without marking out the 1.

1920 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Morehead precinct, lists on p. 158A, family #6:
