BIRTH Isaac was born circa 1634, probably in England[4]
DEATH Isaac died in Hull, Plymouth co., MA on 26 April 1718; he was 84[8].
FREEMANSHIP He was made Freeman on 7 May 1673[4].
RESIDENCE & REAL ESTATE Like his father, his migration information is lost to the ages. However, he settled in Hull, Plymouth co., MA[13], where he lived on Town Hill on the original Samuel Ward lot, between Richard Stubbs and John Benson[4]. On 12 May 1670 he and his wife sold to John Lobdell a single lot located at their home lot for £39[4,14]. On 15 March 1702 Isaac Lobdell of Hull, yeoman, and wife Martha for love and affection deeded to their son Joseph of Boston, mariner, a messuage in Hull with the balance of a lease for 18 years on Bumpus Island, a Negro slave, Sambo, and other items, in consideration of support for life and sundry payments of yearly rent[4,15].

The rent from the island referred to the following item from Samuel Ward's (Mary Ward Lobdell's father) will:

"I give the Island laying betwixt Hingham and Hull, called Bomkin [Bumpkin] Island, unto the College [Harvard] and my mind is that it be called Ward's Island".

He later endorsed the back of the will with a codicil stating that:

"the island that I have given the College, my mind is that it shall remain forever to Harvard College in New England, the rent of it to be for the easement of the charges of the Diatte [diet] of the students that are in the Commons."

Use of the island fell to Isaac Lobdell who later re-leased it in March 1699 for 20 years at £4 yearly, payable annually on March first. His son Isaac later took over the lease from March 1707/8 for a period of twenty years[4,11].
