From Wayne the family removed into Morgan County in 1822, and located upon land entered from the United States Government in Brown Township, and here the father and mother, William and Nancy (Saffell) Rooker, spent the remainder of their lives. They were natives of England and Old Virginia respectively, and lived to a very old age, being each about eighty four years when they departed this life. They were married in Virginia, and lived together as man and wife about sixty five years, rearing a family of eleven children, five sons and six daughters, of which number Isaac W. was tenth. He was reared as a farmer, and had the benefit of about nine months' schooling in Brown Township, but seems, however, to have improved his opportunities for learning, for he was employed several months at teaching the young children in his neighborhood. On April 6, 1826, Mr. Rooker was married in Morgan County to Polly Ballard, a native of Ohio, by whom he had born to him nine children, Elizabeth J., Nancy A. (deceased), Bachael E. (deceased), Mary Ann, Calvin F., Bufus B. (deceased), John W., 'William A. (deceased), and Catharine L. William A. died in the United States Army, and the mother of these children died October 8, 1883, at the age of about seventy six years. Mr. and Mrs. Rooker both became members of the Methodist Episcopal Church when young, and Mrs. Rooker lived and died as a Christian should. His property, aside from a small inheritance from the estate of his father, has been acquired by his own industry, and like most of the pioneers of a new country, he learned lessons of hardship and privation, and has eaten of the bread earned by the sweat of the brow. He has always been of a somewhat retiring disposition, and to attend strictly to his own business and allow other people to do the same, has been the rule of his actions through life. His declining years are being spent peacefully upon his old homestead, where his wants are administered to by his daughter and her husband, who live with him, and who spare no efforts to make his old age comfortable and happy.
