Isaac Ayers was born 12 January 1742 and died 5 June 1795 (according to his headstone; and 7 June 1794 according to Men from Morris County, NJ, who Served in the Revolutionary War, page 12, by Mrs. Hoskins). He was a private in the Morris County Militia of New Jersey. He was married to (first) Joannah Coe and (second) to Mary Cooper. He was laid to rest at the cemetery of the Morristown Presbyterian Church in Morristown, New Jersey. The cemetery is located in the rear of the church on the north side of Park Place in the center of Morristown. Isaac’s headstone is the ninth stone from the fifth land from the left side of the cemetery and in the second row from the crosspath.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
