Notes for Isaac WAYNE
Captain Isaac Wayne, third son of Captain Anthony Wayne, who was born in Ireland in 1699, acquired the home plantation from his father and spent his life there, naming the estate "Waynesborough." He was a captain in the provincial forces during the Indian troubles of 1755, raising a company for the defense of the frontier after Braddock’s defeat. He was stationed at De Puy’s, now Monroe County, until January, 1756, when he was ordered to Nazareth, Northampton County. He recruited another company when trouble was renewed in 1757-58, and served on the frontier. He was elected to the Colonial Assembly in 1757, and was annually reelected thereafter until 1764. Captain Isaac Wayne was a prominent member of the vestry of St. David’s Church, and accumulated a large estate. He greatly improved the mansion at Waynesborough, which descended, at his death in 1774, to his eldest surviving son, General Anthony Wayne.
Captain Isaac Wayne married, in 1738, Elizabeth, daughter of Richard and Margaret (Phillips) Iddings, of Chester County. She lived many years after his death, dying at "Waynesborough" in May, 1793, at the age of eighty-four years.
