I believe he died sometime before--perhaps even a few years before--the January 1829 "business" meeting of the Providence Primitive Baptist Church of what is now the community of Fargo in southern Greenfield Township, Orange Co., IN. (The date of death above, 1829, needs the word "before" before it.)
I further believe that his father, Rev. Isom/Isham Gwin I, who had been the first pastor at Providence, returned to Providence from his home in eastern Southeast Township for the purpose of defending Isom/Isham II's widow, Elizabeth ("Betsy"), at that Jan 1829 meeting.
I believe that either he (i.e., the son, Isom/Isham Gwin II) and Betsy had moved, perhaps to Illinois, where he died and that Betsy had returned to Providence to live OR that they never left Orange Co. and he died there, she remaining at Providence. Regardless, when she was (falsely) accused at Providence by Brother Agin, the church allowed her former father-in-law, Rev. Isom/Isham Gwin I, to return and defend her and even to chair the meeting.
Regardless, the records for the meeting show that Brother Agin recanted his accusations, stating that he had wronged both the sisters. The church restored the sisters to full fellowship.
