==Early and Family Life==
Although born a Quaker (his grandfather John Lea having emigrated to the New World with William Penn in 1700 and preached at Friends' meetings), Isaac Lea forsook his faith's traditional pacificism and joined the 7th Company of the 24th Pennsylvania Militia and fought in the War of 1812. After hostilities ended, on March 8, 1821, he married Frances Ann Carey (1799-1873), daughter of Irish-American publisher Mathew Carey, based in Philadelphia. Their first son died as an infant, but the following two sons survived, were tutored by leading mathematician Eugenius Nulty, and ultimately achieved distinction in scholarly fields and the family publishing business, as well as married the Jaudon sisters and had children of their own who also joined the family business that business ultimately became Lea & Febinger. Henry Charles Lea (September 19, 1825 - October 24, 1909) was an American historian, civic reformer, and political activist in Philadelphia. Mathew Carey Lea(1823-1897) became a lawyer as well as founder of mechanochemistry and early photographer.
