Isaac was 20 years old when he married Sarah nee Warland (18.12.1839-11.05.1906) on September 17th, 1862 in Falmouth, Tasmania (RGD37/1/21 no. 72).

Examiner - Launceston: June 16th, 1906
On Saturday at the residence of his son, at Priory, St. Helen's, died Mr. Isaac Chapple, at the age of 63. Deceased was perhaps more highly respected than any other resident of the north-east coast of Tasmania. His first appearance on the east coast dates back 53 years, when at the age of 10 years he was employed by the late Mr. Treloggen, of St. Helen's. Being an energetic and trustworthy lad, he soon became a great favourite at Marthavale, and at the age of 19 he rented a farm from his old master and married the eldest daughter of Mr. E. Warland, of St. Helen's. Here he cultivated wheat and oats, and succeeded in making enough money to select and open up a farm at Goshen. He was the first settler in this district, and as there was, at that time, no farmer within 10 miles of his home, and only a bush track to St. Helen's, he had much uphill work, more especially as there was no market in the district for grain or dairy produce. This had to be carted to St. Mary's, a distance of 30 miles. At that time farmers knew nothing about scrubbing and sowing on the burnt ground, and owing to expensive methods of farming, followed by bad times and a long illness, as a result of which he had to go under an operation in Melbourne, he lost that splendid farm known as Hope Review, at Goshen. In 1894 deceased left the Goshen district, and went to reside at Springfield, where he rented a farm from the late Mr. W. Lade, of Scottsdale. In the year 1901, some rich ground was discovered near Springfield, and Mr. W. R. Rattray, jun., of Pyengana (deceased's grandson), who was anxious that his grandfather should get a fresh start, selected for him 100 acres of land—the cream of the district. This has since, been scrubbed and grassed. About four weeks ago deceased lost his wife, and the shock, combined with a severe jolting in the coach between Scottsdale and Derby, while journeying to St. Helen's, brought on the illness that terminated his career. he leaves one son and five daughters - Mr. Abel Chapple (Priory, St. Helen's), Mrs. W. A. Rattray (Myrtlevale, Pyengana), Mrs. James Britten (of St. Helen's), Mrs. A. M'Guiness (River Valley, Gould's Country), Mrs. S. Ransom, jun. (Creekside, Springfield), and Mrs. Joseph Ransom, jun. (Pleasant Banks, Springfield); also several grandchildren and great-grand-children. On Sunday he was followed to his last resting place. The funeral procession was the largest that has ever been seen on the East Coast of Tasmania, and was proof of the place deceased occupied in the affections of the people. The warmest sympathy is felt for the children and grandchildren in their sad bereavement.
