A deed dated 28 July 1735 mentions 3304Isaac passingly and suggests that he lived (or at least owned land) in Isle of Wight County, Virginia along/near the Nansemond River at Indian Creek. Today this is the Lake Prince area a few miles north of Suffolk, Virginia.

Interestingly, an earlier draft of the same text is on page 7 of the same minutes book. The writer scratched out what he had written on page 7, then started over on page 13. Notice, though, that at the bottom of page 7 is written, "ffriends Booke of Records per Mee Isaac Rickesis in the year 1700." This statement suggests that 6608Isaac himself was the writer, and that he wrote this entry in the year 1700. The penmanship on pages 7 and 13 looks the same.

After a short list of births, the next record in the book is a religious text (It seems to be the text of a sermon.) dated 23 December 1707. Therefore, the births were probably recorded within a few years after they had occurred.
