Those record books contain the following information on the village of Magyar-Izsép in 1689. Landowners at Magyar-Izsép: György and Mihály Isépy, sons of András, they own 4 units of land held in villeinage and 1/2 puszta lot. Further: Zsigmond Fekete, Ference Horváth and Ferenc Balogh, are inheritors of the Isépy property through the female line. Among these, Zsigmond Fekete owns 6 units of land (held in villeinage) and 5 puszta lots.¹ In 1690 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary, the Treasury started an investigation against András Isépy, Péter Dely and János Posta, among whom Dely owned lands at Kolbása (half of that was leased by András Isépy, the other half by György Sepsi) to determine if they had worked with rebels. András Isépy owned a country seat and lands at Magyar-Izsép; it was now his son, György, who was running it. The Treasury confiscated András Isépy's property at Magyar-Izsep. A group investigation was started by the magistrates and jury of the County of Zemplén; György Isépy appeared before them and declared in their presence that his father had never had any contact, whatsoever, with the rebellious Tököly. His brother Mihály turned, at the same time, to the Chamber of Szepes so that based on the proofs he presented they could urge the release of the seized property. The Chamber of Szepes, in 1690, ordered the release of the property, because they themselves realized that András Isépy, who in the meantime had died, could not have been a rebel as he was around 90 years old and had lost his eyesight by then. He was certainly unsuitable for warfare. He could not have been in contact with Tököly; instead he remained peacefully at home where he passed quietly away, in very old age.³
György Isépy and Mihály Isépy appear on the census of between 1709 and 1711 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary. In the nobles' registration in 1709, among those who were on the list registered as nobles, were György and Mihály Isépy, registered at Magyar-Izsép, another Mihály Isépy at Tarcal. Further, in the County of Zemplén documents of investigation, dated 1711, a note of noble origin (potior nobilitas) of Mihály Isépy de Eadem was verified without a doubt by the appointed country judge and jurors. They do not mention his brother, György, so he could not have been alive at the time. His inheritors divided up his estate in 1713; and his widow, Mária Petróczy was then already married to the nobleman János Villám.⁴ György Isépy died in 1711 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary. He is not mentioned in the census of 1711.¹ György's will was probated in 1713 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary.

Biography In the State Archives a record, dated 1671, lists 222 noblemen from Szatmár, Bereg, Zemplén, Ung and Ugocsa as participants in secret gatherings. These were suspected of disloyalty or were considered open rebels; furthermore, their names were kept on file by both the treasury and the Chapter of Eger, as Calvinist and Lutheran heretics. Ferenc Isépy's name is on the copy of the list attached here. And his name also appears in a treasury's investigative letter issued in 1672, in which he and 19 others were suspected of being confirmed Calvinists; using abusive language at the royal dignity, the Catholic religion, and generally at Catholics and their priests. On the basis of such events, Ferenc Isépy was arrested and imprisoned.¹ Ferenc daughter, Anna Isépy (wife of Bálint Hadry) turned every stone to have his father released and she offered a high ransom in exchange for his freedom. Having lived in Sirokán, in the County of Sáros, she sought support among the relatives of her husband, and finally she received a loan of 1000 forints from Gábor Kapy, lord of Kapivár, for the release of her father. She also pledged her father's lands at Izsép in exchange for his freedom.² Anna Isépy and Mária Isépy appear on the census of 1689 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary; Lien holders: Gábor Kapy owns 6 total and 7 puszta units of land, which were Ferenc Isépy's serfs and pusztas. Ferenc Isépy's beneficiaries were his two daughters, Ferenc(né) Bano and the other Ferenc(né) Frido. (The latter name is hardly legible and it is incorrect in any case because Anna Isépy's first husband was Bálint Hedry, and after his death, János Paxy.).¹ Circa 1690 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary, Anna Isépy married János Paxy Pakosi.
After the death of her first husband, Balint Hedry, Anna Isépy came to very difficult circumstances. Her husband's relatives drove her out of her home in Siroka. She was forced to flee from their persecution and harassment. She herself complains that deprived of all her possession, she was forced to take shelter with strangers; and as she did not have sufficient money to redeem her goods and chattels, she had to secure a permanent lodging somehow for herself. She turned to her relatives, Márton Izdenczy and his wife, Borbála Horváth - who owned a 1/2 serfs lot on their puszta at Siroka and she requested that they would pass that to her for her use, which they agreed to do.³ Anna Isépy died after 1702 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary.
