Re: Bosque County Isenhours (Isenhowers)

My great-great-great grandfather was Moses Isenhour. There is a compilation of the descendants of Hans Nicholas Eisenhauer by Fannie Belle Taylor-Richardson, completed about 1956, tracing the family to their immigration to Pennsylvania in 1741. Moses was the brother of Conrad (or Coonrad), born 1823, died 1906. According to that account, Moses moved from Cocke County, Tennessee to Indiana in 1852, then to Fannin County, Texas in 1856, and Bosque County, Texas in 1860. He was a Bosque County judge for two terms. It is reported that he served under General Magruder on Galveston Island, but there was no identifiable enlistment record found by the author. Moses's oldest son, was Simeon, born 1846, with no record reported of military service. Moses and Simeon moved to Barton County, Missouri after the war, where they were successful landowners and Simeon served as county judge during the 1880s. Some of their paperwork survives, and I took items to the Barton County Historical Society in Lamar, MO about a year ago.
