From Faubion and Allied Families, page 490:
John Wesley and his twin sister, Elizabeth Jane, were born in Tennessee in February before the family moved to Clay County, Missouri later the same year - 1832. Isabella's family came to Clay County in the Fall of 1829, and she was the first of their children to be born in Missouri. Early in the 1830's the part of Clay County where they settled was still mostly wilderness- at first it was one of the Barry neighborhoods, then it was refered to as the Faubion Chapel neighborhood, and later it was called Linden. John Wesley was the eldest son in his family, and probably was assisting on the farm as soon as he was able.
John W. and Isabelle were married by J. W.'s grandfather, Jacob Faubian, Minister of the Gospel on March 6, 1851. On March 10, 1851 William and Sylvania bought a piece of land in Clay County which was right on the border of Platte County. (Book M, page 80). Then, on June 18, 1851, William and Sylvania "in consideration of the affection they entertains for the party of the second part (their son) . . ." gave to J. W. Faubion the Sw1/4 of Section 15, Township 51, Range 33 containing 111 acres (Book N, page 337). This was not far from the other Faubion and Broadhurst families. It was on this farm that most of John and Isabella's children were born.
J. W. and Marion Faubion, the sons of William seem to have had a close relationship. Marion married Isabella's sister, Nancy. J. W. and Marion were listed together among those who had taken the Loyalty Oath and gave Bond since August 28 in the September 5, 1862 issue of the Liberty Tribune. They joined the Rising Sun Lodge, State of Missouri, Ancient Order of Free and Accepted Masons, located at Barry, Missouri together. They were initiated on May 10, 1865, passed on May 13, 1865, and raised on August 5, 1865. This lodge is the one to which their cousin, Judge John M. Broadhurst, belonged. After "Uncle May" moved to Barton County, they wrote each other when there was news.
On September 17, 1868, John W. bought from Joseph and Dianah Broadhurst the W1/2 of SW1/4, Section 13, Township 51, Range 33 - 80 acres for $2,400 (Book 27, page 262). This is the land directly across from Faubion Chapel. The family must have moved to the new farm right away, because John W. seems to have sold the land in Section 15 on November 14, 1868 (Book 29, page 452). J. W. still owned the land in section 13 at the time of his death, calling it his "Homestead." This is the farm where their last two children, and many of their grandchildren, were born, and where both J. W. and Isabella died.
When Joseph Broadhurst died and the land had to be sold at auction to settle the estate, J. W. Faubion bought the SW1/4 of NW1/4, Section 18, Township 51, Range 32 for $200 on September 22, 1873. This 40 acres was the land that Joseph had entered on February 18, 1839, and it may have been where Joseph and Dianah lived. On March 6, 1884, J. W. bought 40 acres of land next to that parcel for $316 - - N1/4 of NW1/4, Section 18, Township 51, Range 32 (Book 664, page 44). When he sold that 80 acres in Section 18 is unknown.
John W., Sr. was an active member of the Faubion Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and he served in a number of capacities over the years. It is unknown where Rev. William lived after Sylvania died - but it is possible that he lived with J. W. and Isabella and their family since they are the only ones that remained in the area.
In 1897 John W. Sr. died and was buried in Faubion Cemetery. At that time John Jr. seems to have had an unusual position in the family. He was the youngest surviving son, and the last of the children to be married. Nevertheless, when there was business to be done, or if there was any problem, they always went to John, Jr. It is not surprising then that John, Jr. was named Executorof John Senior's Estate. It was agreed that since John was Executor he should live on the farm until the Estate was settled; on the appointed day John and Ida switched houses/farms with Lena and Harvey Johnson.
Isabella was still living in the house on the Home Place. When she became ill is unknown, and what the illness was is unknown, but at some point she was so ill she had to remain in bed. Her grandson, Joseph Wesley Faubion, remembers that as a very small child he was allowed to play on her bed sometimes - - he was born in October, 1898. Isabella died in February 1901/1902, and is buried in Faubion Cemetery with J. W. and the children, and their parents. 339,505
