Isaac appears to have moved in and out of TrencinCity several times between the years 1814 and 1828: he was not there when the 1818, 1821, and 1828 censuses were taken, yet was residing in Trencin City when children were born to him and his wife in 1814, 1823, 1824, and 1829.From the 1830s until his death in 1847, he resided in Trencin City.
