He died at Hamilton Parish, Prince William, VA which is now in Fauquier County, VA. Their first home was in King George Co., VA. In 1742 he moved with his family to what is now Fauquier Co.; his home there was on a 370 acre tract that was on Barrow's Run; it was granted to him in 1742 by Thomas, Lord Fairfax, Proprietor of the Northern Neck of VA. He died there in 1752. This old home place was held by his son, George, until 1806 when he came to Buck Creek, Warren (now Barren) Co., KY.

Isaac Settle, son of John, No. 2, and Mary (Strother) Settle, was born in Richmond Co., VA, ca 1695; he died in Hamilton Parish, Prince William (now Fauquier) Co., VA, 1752 (Minute Book, 1752-53, pages 68-9, Prince William Co., VA).
His marriage to Charity Browne is recorded in St. Pauls' Church Register, King George Co., VA, 24 September 1726 (St. Paul's Church Register, page 43, St. Paul's Parish, King George Co., VA). Her father, Maxfield Browne, was a son of William Browne, Sr., and wife Elizabeth _____ Browne. William Browne, Sr., in will, dated 12 March 1676 (Wills of Rappahannock Co., VA, 1656-1692, William M. Sweeney, J.P. Bell Co., Lynchburg, Virginia, 1947, page 57), probated 4 July 1677, names "friend Evan Morgan"
Executor and wife Elizabeth Executrix. Elizabeth Browne, the widow of William Browne, Sr., later married (2d) Evan Morgan and (3d) James Taylor. These later marriages are established by the will (Wills of Rappahannock Co., VA, 1656-1692, William M. Sweeney, J.P. Bell Co., Lynchburg, Virginia, 1947, page 31) of her second husband, by a deed (Old Rappahannock Deeds 1682-88, page 280; Old Rappahannock County Wills & Deeds 4, page 69) of her son, William Browne, Jr., and by a judgment against Henry Askell, 6 Nov 1684, in favor of James Taylor, who married the Executrix of Evan Morgan. In the will of Evan Morgan, dated 24 Aug 1683, probated 5 May 1684, he mentions ". . . my godson Maxfield Browne my wife's youngest son." And in a deed, William Browne, Jr., deeds to James Taylor and Elizabeth his wife dower appertaining to Elizabeth Taylor mother of the said William Browne.
By deed dated 29 Oct 1734, Isaac Settle purchased from his father-in-law, Maxfield Browne, ". . . all that tract of land whereon he (Maxfield Browne) now liveth, . . . lying and being in Parish of Hanover in the County of King George." The consideration was 3,200 pounds of tobacco. This tract of land containing 100 acres, ". . . with all houses, outhouses, tobacco houses, barns, buildings and edifiros, whatsoever, Gardens, Orchards, woods, underwoods, ways, water and water courses. . . ", was bound by the lands of John Settle, Sr., Joseph Settle, Joseph Dodd and Captain Benjamin Strother. The deed was witnessed by Joseph Settle and Sid Lightburn [NOTE: his name was probably STAFFORD LIGHTBURNE, and he was Charity Browne's brother-in-law, husband of her sister SIBELLA BROWNE.] (Deed Book 1-A, pages 314-315, King George Co., VA).
As noted already in the case of John Settle, Sr., upon the death of William Browne, Sr., his share of the original joint land grant was divided between his three sons, William, Junior, Maxfield and John. William, Jr., sold his share to John Settle, Sr., and now Maxfield sells his adjoining share, or at least a portion thereof, to his son-in-law, Isaac, son of John Settle.
Isaac Settle appears to have made his home on this tract of land some fourteen years. On 31 July 1742 (Northern Neck Index, page 162, Book E, page 491, Fauquier Co., VA), he received a grant of 370 acres of land from The Right Honorable Thomas Lord Fairfax "Proprietor of the Northern Neck of Virginia." This land was located in Prince William (now Fauquier) Co. on the east bank of the North Branch of the Rappahannock River, "... and on both sides of the river known by the name of Barrows Run." Adjoining landowners were Major Murdock, George Williams and William Settle, son of Isaac's elder brother Francis Settle. Nearby land owners were Thomas Jordan, Charles Morgan, Sr., Charles Morgan, Jr., Thomas Welch and Thomas Aires.
The exact date that Isaac Settle moved to Prince William County is not known but it was prior to 6 May 1752, for on that date Isaac and Charity (Browne) Settle ". . . of the Parish of Hamilton in the County of Prince William...", sold to Edward Dixon of Caroline County, 274 acres in Hanover Parish, King George County, adjoining the lands of his brothers, Joseph and Benjamin Settle, Captain Benjamin Strother and Thomas Wilkinson (Deed Book 3, page 474, King George Co., VA ). Prior to that date there are several records in King George County in which Isaac Settle is mentioned as a juror. In a Court held for King George Co., VA 1 June 1744 (Orders 2, Part 2, 1735-1751, page 403, King George Co., VA), it was "Ordered that Matthew Mooney Serve Isaac Settle or his Assigns for three days Runaway time and two Hundred & Eighty Pounds of Tobacco Expended in taking him up "According to Law." Again, in a Court held for King George Co., 1 May 1747 (Orders 2, Part 2, 1735-1751, page 513, King George Co., VA), "Isaac Settle being Summoned as Evidence by Wm. Marshall against Thomas Bartlett & having attended Seven days on the said Suit it is ordered . . . " that he be paid the usual witness fees. Also, in a Court held for King George Co., 4 September 1747 (Orders 2, Part 2, 1735-1751, page 545, King George Co., VA), William Rose, son of Maxfield Rose, was ordered to serve Isaac Settle ". . . till he Arrive to Twenty one years of Age, & the sd. Isaac is to Learn him to Read & to write & Learn him the trade of a Turner & at the Expiration of his time to give him Lawful freedom." Finally, in a Court held 5 February 1748 (Orders 2, Part 2, 1735-1751, page 609, King George Co., VA), the will of William Marshall, decd., was presented by Ann Marshall, one of the Executors named therein, and was proved by Sarah Dixon, late Sarah Turner, and admitted to record. John Boddington, Benjamin Strother, Isaac Settle and William Harrison, were named by the Court as appraisers. This is the last
record found in King George Co., VA, pertaining to Isaac Settle.
Isaac Settle died in 1752 (Minute Book 1752-53, pages 68,69, Prince William Co., VA ) and in his last will and testament his sons Joseph Settle and Isaac Settle, Jr. were named Executors. At a Court held for Prince William Co., VA, 23 Oct 1752, the will was presented by the Executors and proved by the oaths of the witnesses thereto and admitted to record. The names of the witnesses apparently are not a matter of record. At the same time, Joseph Settle, Isaac Settle, Benjamin Settle and John Arnold acknowledged a bond for the faithful administration of the estate. Further, the Court ordered that Joseph Hudnell, John Garner, William Morgan and Vincent Garner appraise the estate and return an inventory to the next court (Minute Book
1752-53, pages 108-109, Prince William Co., VA ). At a Court held for Prince William County, 24 June 1754, it was ordered that the executors be summoned to appear at the next court and ". . render an account of their Executorship (Order Book 1754-55, pages 108-109, Prince William Co., VA)." At a Court held for Prince William County, 22 July 1754, "The Inventory and Appraisment of the Estate of Isaac Suttle deceased was returned and ordered to be recorded (Order Book 1754-55, page 119, Prince William Co., VA)."
The will of Isaac Settle is missing in the records of Prince William Co. Fortunately, however, the names of his surviving children are set forth in two court orders. The first of these orders (Order Book 1754-55, page 130, Prince William Co., VA),
issued by Justices John Wright, Benjamin Grayson, John Crump, Henry Peyton and Elias Edmonds, at a Court held for Prince William Co. 26 Aug 1754, provided:
"Benjamin Morgan is appointed guardian to Jemima Suttle orphan of Isaac Suttle deceased who with Charles Morgan enter into bond for faithful performance thereof.
"Joseph Suttle is appointed Guardian to George and William Suttles orphans of Isaac Suttle deceased who with Thomas Garner and John Marr enter into bond for faithful performance thereof.
"Ordered that Jarret Wilkinson be summoned to appear at next court, to declare whether he will take upon himself the guardianship of Francis Suttle orphan of Isaac Suttle deceased."
The second court order (Order Book 1759-63, page 33, Fauquier Co., VA ), addressed to the Sheriff of Fauquier Co., 28 Sep 1759, commands that he summon:
". . . Joseph Suttle Executor & c. of Isaac Suttle Dec'd George Suttle Francis Suttle William Suttle Martha Suttle Alice Suttle and Jemima Suttle to appear before our Justices of our said County Court at the Courthouse of the said County on the fourth Thursday in next month to answer a Bill in Chancery exhibited against them by Gerrard Wilkinson & Elizabeth his wife Taylor Wilkinson & Mary his wife, Benjamin Morgan and Phoebe his wife and have them there this Writ.

In 1796 Daniel Bradford deposed that Charles Morgan, Joseph's father bought land about 40 years ago, when Joseph was under age, and Joseph went to George Hardin & made second purchase of the land, having been informed that his father had omitted having his deed recorded. Daniel Bradford was acting for Thornton J. Morgan, a minor, since Joseph was now dead. Joseph had died without a will in 1785 and Daniel Bradford and others helped make inventory of the estate.
