Isaiah served in the war of 1812. Many references to him may be found in the old Cobleskill Lutheran Church Records. Isaiah's tombstone, along with those of 3 Revolutionary War Zeh soldiers were destroyed and lost when parts of the old Zeh cemetery where they all are buried were plowed in by former owners of the property. Isaiah was the son of Asa Dibble of Saybrook, Connecticut and of the eighth generation from Robert Deeble and wife who joined the Dorchester Congreagation in Plymouth, England in 1629.

1. ISAIAH DIBBLE was born 1793 in Saybrook, CT ?, and died Abt. 1850. He married LANY ZEH Abt. 1818, daughter of DAVID ZEE and MARIA SCHAFER. She was born 27 June 1796 in Cobleskill, Schoharie County, NY, and died 28 October 1887.

Children of ISAIAH DIBBLE and LANY ZEH are:
2. i. JOHN NELSON DIBBLE, b. 16 April 1835, Schoharie County, NY; d. 25 November 1910.
3. ii. WILLIAM AUSTIN DIBBLE, b. 2 March 1829, Schoharie County, NY.
4. iii. JAMES WORKMAN DIBBLE, b. 10 November 1823, Richmondville, Schoharie County, NY; d. 1905, Richmondville, Schoharie County, NY.
5. iv. DAVID DIBBLE, b. 30 June 1821, Schoharie County, NY; d. 8 February 1887, Richmondville, Schoharie County, NY.
v. MARTHA DIBBLE.
6. vi. EMELINE DIBBLE.
7. vii. SARAH M. DIBBLE, b. 1820.
8. viii. CATY MARIA DIBBLE, b. 25 July 1819.

Although Isaiah is an old Dibble family name, I have not been able to place this man born about 1790, probably son of some Revolutionary War Soldier who moved from Conn. to upper N.Y. State. Tradition says he came from up Black River Country to Richmondville, N.Y. The death records of his children are conflicting, one claiming he was born in Conn. and another in N.Y.

His wife Lany (Lenah) (Helenah) Zeh (Zee) (Zeah) was from an old Schoharie County family. Her ancestor was given 2,000 acres by the king for services in the French and Indian War. She is buried next to David Zee 1725-1812.",

He married Lany Abt. 1818
Their children were: John Nelson, William Austin, James Workman, David, Martha, Emeline, Sarah M and Caty Maria.

Lany is Magdalena Zeh daughter of David Zee b. 5 October 1755 and Maria Schafer b. 4 March 1760 who were married on 1 October 1780.
