Isaac was wounded in the Battle of Point Pleasant, on October 10, 1774, he died about 30 hours later, making his actual death date as October 11, 1774. He was buried beside Colonel Charles Lewis, & later moved, along with others, that were killed in the battle, to a nearby resting place.

For a long-time the Battle was not considered the beginning of the Revolutionary War but many years later, Congress decreed that it definitely was.
