From Mary Lu Johnson-letter of 11-1-94:
Margaret and Marshall left Tennessee in the early 70's. The trip took 16 years due to various tragedies that befell them-- babied born and died, husband died etc. Understand they finally went to Mobile and boarded "Immigrant Train" there, along with other Isbells. The train stopped in Texas (which may be how another branch of Isbells came to settle around Waco area). Margaret Emiline Isbell Jones went on to Oklahoma. She became a teacher to support her children who survived the journey. Parents: William ISBELL and Martha STANFIELD.

Mark William ISBELL was born on 15 Jan 1869 in Alabama.⁽⁸³²⁰⁾⁽⁸⁴²⁹⁾ He died on 16 Aug 1946 in Blanco, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma.⁽⁸⁴³⁰⁾ He was buried in Buried in Blanco Cemetary.⁽⁸⁴³¹⁾ [Fields2.FTW]

Mark was raised in Mississippi and Alabama. When he was in his early twenties he took his future wife away from another fellow in Alabama. It is not known if Mary Ann Watson was married to this other fellow or not. But, Mark and Mary Ann left Alabama and moved to Indian Territory.
Mark became a prominent businessman in Blanco, Oklahoma. He owned and ran a general store and was well respected. At the start of the depression in 1929 he had $5000 in the bank in Kiowa, Oklahoma. When banks started failing, Mark went out withdraw his money. The banker told him that the bank was solid as a rock and to leave his money there and go back to Blanco. He did and two days later the bank failed and Mark lost all of his money.
Blanco was a mining and farming community and Mark would extend the miners credit on their purchases and the miners would pay him every two weeks when they got paid. During the depression the mines shut down, and the miners were out of work. Mark continued to extend the miners credit, counting on times to get better and the mines to reopen. They never did.
When it got down to the point that he couldn't keep running his store, he asked his brother Thomas Washington to co-sign a note for him. Tom agreed, knowing that he would probably have to cover the note for Mark. They were on the way to the bank when Mark changed his mind. He realized that Tom would just end up losing the money, so they turned around and went home. Mark's store burned down. Some have the opinion that it was not accidental, but that Mark torched it when it became hopeless. Mark continued to live in Blanco pretty much in poverty. He died of a heart attack while sitting in the front lawn of his house in 1946.---Dan Yaklin "Isbell Family History" Parents: George Washington ISBELL and Lucy Ann BARKER.
