Isaiah wrote his will on September 8th, 1849. He left to his wife Sally, "my Island whereon I now reside & all my personal property". He instructed that when Sally died or married that the Island be sold to the highest bidder among his children and the proceeds be divided between the other children; "William Justice, Tabitha Mason, John Justice, Samuel Justice, Revell Justice, Sally Barnes & Polly Justice." He signed his will by making a mark.
In the 1850 census Isaiah is listed as age 60, a farmer with real estate valued at $500. Sarah is listed as 55 and being unable to read or write. No children are living with them.
Isaiah's will was probated on February 25th, 1856 in Accomack County court.
