History

John Frederick Isaacson was born in 1801. He was the second son of Reverend John Isaacson, the Rector of Lydgate, Suffolk and a fellow Johnian. Isaacson was educated at Norwich school, and then matriculated at St John’s in 1821. He graduated BA Senior Classic in 1825, also receiving the 1st Chancellor’s medal, before achieving the Bachelor of Divinity in 1835. In the same year that he achieved his BA, Isaacson was ordained deacon in Ely, and priest the following year. Around this time, he was also elected Fellow and Tutor of the college. As well as this, he also received the remarkable compliment of the post as a Lecturer of King’s College from 1829-1839.
In 1838, Isaacson became the rector of Freshwater, Isle of Wight, where he spent the rest of his life. He married Rebecca Stokes in 1840, and had two sons.
Isaacson died on the 19th August, 1886.
