Johann Heinrich Iskam, son of Friedrich Izkam, married Cornelia. They have at least one son Johann Georg who was baptized 25 June 1747 in Vonhausen. Cornelia evidently died because Johann Heinrich is recorded marrying again in Vonhausen on 26 November 1761 to Catharina Dörr, daughter of Johannes Dörr. Catharina had been baptized in Hüttengesas on 25 June 1727.
The baptism of a daughter born to Johann Heinrich Iskam & Catharina Dörr is recorded in the parish register of Vonhausen: Anna Dorothea, baptized 16 April 1765.
