  HIST	Isaac, Jr. was the second son of Isaac and Margaret. Isaac, Jr. settled in St. Mark’s Parish in 1740 and was one of the first settlers in the region known as “East of the Wateree” in the High Hills of Santee, coming there from the lower part of the state, no doubt in search of a more healthful climate as did so many in those early days. He had a “warrant” for a tract of 200 acres. Being a public spirited man, he became involved in the affairs of the community. He was appointed as road commissioner and later was on the commission to build St. Mark’s Church. Isaac, Jr.’s will is recorded in the Sumter County Courthouse. Isaac was a captain in the Militia in 1749. From Isaac, Jr.’s children have sprung all of the Brunsons of Sumter District and most of the South Carolina Brunsons.
