The children reported by the above genealogy is questionable. There shoud be at least 4 children from the marriage from about 10 to 16 years old still in Isaac's household when he marries widow Elizabeth J Gentry Fosler in about 1877. But there are none.
The Lovett genealogy has some basic information about Isaac and Elizabeth.

In the 1860 census, Isaac is enumerated as J H Sorey. His wife is Elizabeth J Gentry. The oldest child is named Mary Fosler or Foster. It appears that Isaac and Elizabeth married about 1856-57. Note that Elizabeth's husband's intial's are written here as J H, but other sources report his name as Isaac Henry. He is reported in 1870 as Isaac H. His gravestone is somewhat illegible due to discoloration of the stone, but apepars to say I H.
