    Notes 
    • William Linxwiler, father of Isaac, was born in this County February 12, 1809, being the third white child, and the first male white child born in the county. He was the youngest of thirteen children, one of his older brothers having been a soldier in the war of 1812, and wounded during that war. William Linxwiler was a farmer, his father having been the first to locate a number of farms in different places in the County. He was married February 10, 1833, to Jane Clinton, who was born in Warren, Ohio, January 20, 1815, the daughter of Jonathan and Letitia (McAlree) Clinton, both natives of Ireland, who came from that country to Ohio and settled in Trumbull County. Thence they came to this County in 1831. Mrs. Clinton died August 24, 1874, aged eighty-seven. They were the parents of seven children: Henderson, born March 12, 1835, died January 22, 1839; John D., born July 11, 1837; Margaret E., born September 10, 1839; George H., born January 21, 1842, died September 5, 1858; Mary J., born May 25, 1845; Isaac W., born September 14, 1847; Benjamin L., born October 7, 1849, died January 8, 1867.
