ISAAC3 (Isaac2, William1), m., July 23, 1679, Sarah Bigelow, b. Sept. 29, 1659, dau. of John and Mary (Warren) Bigelow, of Watertown, and settled in Framingham, near the beautiful pond of 36 acres, still called from him, Learned's pond. He was a soldier in Capt. Davenport's company, at the Narragansett fight, and was wounded. He was received as an inhabitant of Sherborn, in April, 1679 (Framingham not being then a town). He appears to have been on the committee to procure the act of incorporation for the town in 1699, and signed in that character the answer to the remonstrance from Sherborn, preserved in Barry's Framingham, p. 39.

After the incorporation, it was voted in town meeting, Aug. 21, 1700, that Mr. Joseph Buckminster, Isaac Learned and John Heaver, should be the men to go and discourse with a lawyer about "our aggrieved neighbors" (Barry, p. 44). He was selectman in 1692, 1698, 1706, 1711; fence-viewer in 1681-2. With his brother Benoni and others, he signed a petition, Oct. 13, 1680, in aid of the petition of the inhabitants of Sherborn for the removal of obstructions to the Rev. Mr. Gookins' settling among them; representing that they had taken up lots in the plantation of Sherborn and paid their share of charges thereon, and were only waiting for the settlement of an able minister; some of them being settled there already. (Vol. 112, p. 319, State Records, Boston.) He died Sept. 15, 1737. June 27, 1710, each man taxed to procure a stock of ammunition. Isaac Learned's tax, 3s. 2d., none exceeded his. John Bigelow, the father of Isaac Learned's wife, was a blacksmith, and was selectman in 1665, '70, '71. For his family and for that of Mary Warren, his wife, see Bond's Watertow
