In 1816 moved to Crawford County IN.

An "Isaac Landiss" is listed in the Washington County, Indiana census of1820. The spelling of his name, and the information concerning children,are consistent with this Isaac. Since the name was spelled "Landers" inthe War of 1812 records, the family must have adopted the spelling changebetween 1812 and 1820 - possibly about 1816 when they moved to Indiana.

In 1827 moved to Carrollton, Greene County, IL.

In 1835 granted 40 acres of land by President Andrew Jackson.
