Married Rachel Mordecai on December 1810 in Charleston, Charleston District, South Carolina by the Rev. Jacob Suares who is the 4th Great grandfather of Sonya Eason.
In the Jewish Encyclopedia, published in 1906, Isaac was described as follows: "Journalist; born 1788; died in New York 1828; studied law, but subsequently opened a school on Edisto Island, S.C. He afterward edited the "Quiver," the "Investigator" (later known as the "Southern Patriot"), the "City Gazette" (1822), and the "Charleston Mercury." He was also distinguished as an author and playwright. His first play, "The Gordian Knot," was written in 1807; it was followed by "Alexander Severus" and by "Alberti" (1819), his best-known play, at the first performance of which President Monroe was present. As a political writer he became widely known by his "Letters on the Presidency" (1824). Harby was the originator of the first Reform movement in the United States. In 1825 he, with others, founded the Reform Society of Israelites, the principal objects of which were abridgment of the liturgy and the introduction of English into the service. An account of his work in this connection may be found in the "North American Review," xxiii. Harby included among his friends Thomas Jefferson, Edward Livingston, and Sir Walter Scott. In 1828 he removed to New York, where he established a school and contributed to the "Evening Post." His remains are interred in the old cemetery on Eleventh street, New York."
