Isaiah Brand is Dead
At the family burial ground of the Brand family, near Loganville, Ga., last Monday, was laid away the last remains of the oldest member of their long-lived family, Isaiah C. Brand. He was born October 3, 1809, in Oglethorpe County, this state. His father, William Brand, moved to Walton County, the place where the deceased died, in 1826, and died at the old homestead where his son Isaiah also died, never moving there from since 1826.
He had born unto him eleven children, one, J. T. at Lithonia; N. V., at Lawrenceville; and E. W. and B. T. Brand at Loganville. the daughters are living in different states. At the time of his death he had eighty-three grandchildren, making a family of 113. His father had 22 children and their descendants are centered from ocean to ocean. One of the brothers of the deceased, Cashuel Brand, died with 190 children, grand and great-grand and another, Jonas Brand, about 250.
The grandfather of the deceased settled in Virginia and one of his sons was for a long time editor of the Richmond Whig, but the deceased was always a true and tried democrat. He occupied an humble sphere in this life, but he was a man of strong native intellect and took great interest in all the political fights and revolutions of his day, and was a leader of men in his own immediate bailiwick. He was a justice of the peace for many years, and he administered law, not as it was read to him from books, if it did not coincide with his ideas of justice. He disregarded technicalities to do unto others as they would have others do unto them. He was a generous-hearted man, tender as a woman, but fearless as a lion. His death removed from earth the last direct offspring of one of the most numerous families and oldest settlers of either Gwinnett or Walton Counties.
