Isaiah Ilence Youngblood was born in Georgia, probably near Miledgeville in Baldwin County. Little has been proven about Isaiah's ancestry except that his parents were identified in an early letter to a descendant as William Youngblood and Sarah Lewis.

When still a teenager Isaiah marched off to serve in the last days of the War of 1812. Isaiah served as a Private in Capt. James Saffold's Volunteer Company of Artillery, attached to Lt. Col William Jones' Battalion, 4th Regiment, Georgia Militia. According to his service record, he appeared on the company payroll from 21 Nov 1814 through 6 May 1815, 5 mo 15 d,for which he was paid $43.87.

According to family lore, besides his $43.87, he received a near-fatal case of smallpox while serving in or near Mobile, Alabama. On the Company Muster Roll to 10 Dec 1814: he is Present. On the Company Muster Roll 10 Dec to 3 Mar 1815, dated 3 Mar 1815: he is Present sick. On the Company Muster Roll 3 Mar to 6 May, dated 6 May: he is Present. Perhaps this "sickness" tends to corroborate the smallpox story. It is said that his state of health was made worse by the swampy gulf environment, so he moved north to southern Illinois. It is believed he was one of the early pioneers in Franklin County, Illinois, arriving in 1816, at the age of 22.

On 5 Feb 1818, he married Electa Jones near Old Frankfort in Franklin County. Electa was born in New York and is believed to be the daughter of Edmund Phillip Jones and Cassandra Phelps Jones. The 1820 US Census shows Isaiah lived in Franklin County with his wife and a young daughter under age 10 (Susan, born 1819). At some point after his marriage, the family moved briefly to Tennessee, but returned after about two years to take up residence in Perry County, Illinois, just north of his original Franklin County home. He was to remain in Perry County throughout the remainder of his life, and became a successful farmer and landholder.

By the date of the 1830 Census, Isaiah's Perry County family now included five young daughters. The 1840 US Census in Perry County enumerated the family of Isaac [sic] Youngblood, with Isaiah, wife Electa, three sons and the three youngest daughters. In 1850, the Perry County household consisted of the three sons and one daughter, along with the widower Isaiah, who is, unfortunately, indexed by ancestry.com as "Sarah."

During his many years of residence in southern Illinois, Isaiah served as a Primitive Baptist Minister. The Primitive Baptist faith was widespread throughout the sparsely settled areas of the Appalachians during the 19th Century, in part because the church did not require that its ministers attend a seminary. It is probable that Isaiah served simply from faith and practice rather than education.

County histories state that Isaiah died 1 Aug 1850. I had some question about the date based on an entry in the 1860 Census, but the estate papers of Isaiah in Perry County confirm the 1850 date of death.

Isaiah and his wife Electa were the parents of ten children:
1. Susan Beckum married Daniel Ward
2. Emily Carson married William Wilson
3. Corrina Florence married George Washington Sturdevant, Jr.
4. Louisa Hardin married John Phelps Ford
5. Lavina Corder married Marcus (Marquis) Clay Hawkins
6. Sarah Ann Jones married John Randolph Hawkins
7. William Jasper married Emeline Hillen; served as a Union sergeant in the Civil War
8. Francis Marion married Narcissa Eaton; was a prominent lawyer and judge in southern Illinois
9. Edmund Dekalb married Eunice M. Kinney; was also a prominent lawyer and judge
10. Rachel Cassandra married William W. Robertson.

Of note, many of the children have middle names that resemble surnames, but we have not yet found any family connection with any of them except Jones. Also of note, if the Youngbloods named their children for their parents, as was the common practice of the day, then the names of some of their children may indeed help to confirm the names of those parents. William, Sarah, Edmund and Cassandra and Jones are all represented.

I welcome further additions and/or corrections to the above information or requests for sources. Also feel free to contact me for a further information I have about Isaiah's children, etc.
