Isaac Dunn Judge

From the "History of Dearborn & Ohio Counties, Indiana," pg. 697-698:

Judge Isaac Dunn was truly a self-made man, having no opportunity for a scholastic education he became a fair scholar, read much, was a good scribe and a ready reckoner. In 1804 he was married to Miss Frances Piatt, daughter of Capt. Jacob Piatt, of Boone County, Kentucky. She died in 1840. In 1806 he commenced the mercantile business in Lawrenceburgh, with John R. Beaty and Stephen Ludlow. In a few years Beaty removed to Brookville, and Dunn & Ludlow continued in the business at Lawrenceburgh until 1819. In 1812 he was appointed by the governor a judge of the Court of Dearborn County, [Indiana], and served in that capacity until 1817. He was also elected an associate judge under the State Government and served in that office for over sixteen years. He was elected a member of the fourth Territorial Legislature, and served as Speaker of the House in that body. In 1820 he became president of the Branch of the Farmers and Mechanics Bank of Indiana. In company with others he started, at New Lawrenceburgh, the first woolen factory in the state. He made several trips to New Orleans, sometimes coming home on foot through Indian nations. He made several trips to Philadelphia on horseback, to purchase goods for his store. He was commissioned postmaster of Lawrenceburgh in 1813 and held that position for sixteen years. In 1843 he was married to his second wife, Mrs. Harriet Hunter, widow of Major James W. Hunter. He joined the Methodist Church in 1811. In politics he was an old line Whig, and afterward a Republican. Finally, after a long, active and useful life, he died, July 17, 1870, in the eighty-eighth year of his age.
