Extract from "Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington County, Pennsylvania," J H Beers & Co., 1893, Chicago:
Isaac Deeds, the youngest son of Andrew Deeds, was born August 12, 1800, on the farm in Donegal township, passing his younger days in assisting his father, and attending the subscription schools. He remained at home until after the death of his father, and took care of his mother.
On November 15, 1832, he was united in marriage with Sarah Rodgers, who was born September 8, 1809, daughter of Francis and Elizabeth (Hupp) Rodgers, the latter being the daughter of John Hupp. They had two children, Belle and Isaac J. Mr. Deeds passed the first years of married life on his father's farm, devoting his time to agriculture, and dealing extensively in stock. He afterward purchased and moved upon the "Abe Miller" tract of land, adjoining the old Deeds farm.
Mr. Deeds was a very successful, sagacious business man, and eventually became one of the largest landholders in Donegal township. Politically, he was originally a Whig, afterward becoming a Republican. He died September 26, 1886, having been preceded by his wife May 12, 1842. Their two children, Isaac J. and Belle, are living on the home farm. Isaac J. is an active member of the Republican party.

He married Sarah Hupp Rodgers 15 Nov 1832 in Washington County, Pennsylvania.
