(Ref. 83) Isaac born 14 Feb. 1777 died 18 July 1834 (Ref. 83 letter 1248) 7, Isaac generally went by just Isaac but his son, 38, Isaac, in court record is referred to as Isaac Koontz, Jr. whose middle name is known to be Newton, thus it is believed 7, Isaac's full name was Isaac Newton Koontz, Sr. Susannah born 14 Mar. 1777 died 4 Jan. 1846. (Ref. 83) It is not certain where Isaac, Sr and his wife were buried but as he owned 146 acres which he willed to his son Isaac, Jr. and called the "home farm" in his wlll, then he and his wife must be buried in Koontz and Shuler Cemetery 73 with only a limestone rock as a marker. Isaac and his bro. John were baptized in 1811. (Ref. 18) Isaac Kuntz and his wife deeded another tract of land to John Giblinger sic. (Kiblinger) their part of the land of Daniel Giblinger to John Giblinger.
