Isaac moved to Barry County with his parents in the fall of 1853, and was listed on the 1860 census of Crane Creek, Barry Co. He was living with his mother who had re-married to Dr. Francis LeMaster after the death of her first husband. The census-taker incorrectly transcribed the names of the Neill children, assigning them the surname of their LeMaster step-father.  As far as it is known none of the children took the LeMaster surname.

Both of Louis' parents and many of his siblings are buried in Barry County in Osa Cemetery.

After the Civil War was over, Isaac L. Neill moved to Lawrence Co., MO, where he farmed for the remainder of his life.
