    Kaufman County, Texas, marriage records record the marriage of Isaac Jefferson Briscoe to Edney H Biggs:

    Death 1919 in Harmony, Parker, Texas
    Parents Isaac Briscoe 1788-1864, Hester Kyle 1796-1867
    Marriage  3 Jun 1854 Kaufmann County, Texas to Edna H Biggs
    Residence Moved to Parker County TX 1857

    It looks like the marriage was actually in 1865, since in the June 1870 census their first child Isaac is already 4 years old.  It appeared that Isaac was the son of Mary Jane rather than Edna, but this is uncertain.  So perhaps Edna died in childbirth with Isaac in 1866 and I J married Mary Jane the same year.  Norton actually reports the birth of Isaac in 1865 as a son of Mary Jane, even though the date he reports for the marriage is 1866.  I would think this is an error, given the era and the situation.

    The 1880 census indicates that Mary Jane has died.  The last child here is 3 years old, indicating she was born before June 1877.  So until I find some further records, we can conclude that Mary Jane died between 1877 and 1880.  The entry for this last child, a daughter, looks like A E, but is actually Alice Azalee.

    1880 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 7 June, Precinct 6 and 8, District 139, page 13, Hse #352, Family #361

    Briscoe, G W  At Home W M 12 TX MO TN [b abt 1868]
    Briscoe, A E (A A?) W F 8 TX MO TN [b abt 1872]

    The age of this J J Briscoe matches Isaac Jefferson, and the children in the family match.  But as in 1870 has JJ rather than IJ.  Also now the birth state is reported as Texas, rather than as Missouri like other censuses for I J.  However, the birthplace of the father of the children is correctly reported as Missouri.

    I note also that the enumerator listed Texas as the place of birth only by using a ditto, following the previous entry of several children of the previous family born in Texas.  He likewise placed a ditto for the relationship, indicating "J J" was a son!  Even though he is the first entry for a new household and family.  This seems to account for the wrong birth state, as an enumerator error.

    The 1900 census records I J and his 3rd wife Hattie R Price in Parker County, Texas.

    Isaac's obituary provides extensive information about his life.  The original source of this is uncertain, but likely it was the Weatherford Democrat.  It has been posted on Ancestry.com by a genealogist, with additional notes on some family members.  Note that the obituary spells the family name Brisco, though most members of the family spell it Briscoe.

    =================================
    Life of Isaac Jefferson Briscoe
    June 3, 1919
    Printed in the Daily Herald of Weatherford, Texas
    Found in the Weatherford Public Library

    I.J. Brisco, age 87 years, died at his home in the Harmony community Monday afternoon [2 June 1919] at 5:30 o'clock.  His death was very sudden and was a severe shock to the family.  He had been in good health until a few days ago, when he complained of feeling badly, but was suddenly stricken Monday afternoon and death followed in a few minutes.

    Mr. Brisco was one of the pioneers of Parker county.  He was born in Missouri and came to Texas with his parents, who settled in Eastern Texas.  In 1850 he came to Parker county and settled in the Harmony community.  In 1866 he improved the home place where he continuously resided until his death.

    Mr. Brisco was a prominent member of the Baptist church and during his younger days was a very active member.  He was also active in politics for a private citizen, being a life long Democrat and a prohibitionist.  In the early days he was a member of the scouting parties and was prominent in the fights against the Indians.  During the Civil War he served as a wagoner in the Southern army and entered the service with the commencement of hostilities.

    Deceased is survived by his wife and seven children:  Mrs. J. Holden, J.T. and R.W. Brisco, of Altus, OK; Mrs. W.J. Seay, Davidson, OK; Mrs. H.A. Wooley, Mineral Wells; George and Henry Brisco of the Harmony community.  Funeral services at Harmony Baptist Church Wednesday morning [4 June 1919] at 10:30, conducted by Rev. Fred Puryear, assisted by Rev. C.H. Ray.  Interment in Harmony cemetery.

    The following notes by shnorton:

    1. Mrs. J. Holden - Alice Ann Briscoe Holden
    2.  J.T. and R.W. Briscoe of Altus OK-Robert Winfield (son of Isaac and Edna) and J.T. could be John Turner (son of John Franklin who was the son of Isaac and Edna)
    3. Mrs. W.J. Seay of Davidson OK - Alpha Azelee Briscoe (daughter of Isaac and Mary Kincaid)
    4. Mrs. H.A. Wooley, Mineral Wells - Sarah Briscoe  (daughter of Isaac and Hettie Price)
    5. George and Henry Briscoe - George, (son of Isaac and Mary Kincaid), Henry, (son of Isaac and Hettie).
