Isham and Mary Jane  would have 4 children; 2 son and 2 daughter before Mary Jane passed away about 1846, most likely due to complication with the birth of their last child James Hinson.

His wife Mary Jane Brock was born abt 1820, a daughter of James L. Brock and Elizabeth Purvis. She most likely was born in Alabama. Her Grandparents James F. Purvis and his brother Gilbert Purvis migrated from Chesterfield County, South Carolina about 1818 moving through Georgia to Clarke County, Alabama and eventually settling in the Hinds/Rankin County are of Mississippi.
