What happened to his sister and brother in law Hudspeth has never been traced. Elizabeth Elsberry and her husband Alexander Latham went with or followed her father to Ashe County"
Vol. 2 page 239 "It would seem that every man not a Tory in the State capable of bearing arms was at one time or another called into active service, although it might be for one tour of duty" "Zachariah Riley son of Gerard and Frances ( Wright) Riley was born 1791 on a farm adjoining Isaac's in Surry Co." "Zachariah Riley was a son of Gerard and Frances ( Wright) Riley of Surry County, North Carolina. Frances was a daughter of Capt.John Wright and Ann ( Williams) Wright and a sister to Isaac Elsberrys's wife, Agatha Wright.

Hedspath was warned of his damger and fled for refuge into one of those dismal swamps, being hard pressed one moonlight night by Isaac and his little squad of patriots, he law down on his back in shallow wateer simply leaving his nose above the water.After the war was over he told of the night of terror and his narrow escape. He said he saw Isaac and his party pass within a few feet of him and he was so frightened that his black hair turned gray" "Isaac Elsberry married Agaha Wright( dau. of John Wright who had married Ann Williams"
