  	He built his "Careswell" home in 1699. Isaac served as Probate Judge and Chief Justice in the Court of Common Pleas. On 23 Nov 1712, "Mr Isaac Winslow was taken into this church" (First church in Marshfield), on the same day he was appointed "to assit at the ordination of mr. Lewis in Pembrok." In the "Boston newsletter" of December 28, 1738 is an obituary notice of Col. (Isaac) Winslow. "Marshfield, December 20, 1738. On Thursday, the 14th inst died at his seat in Marshfield (after a short indisposition, and in the sixty-eight year of his age) the Hon. Isaac Winslow, Esquire. His ancestors, for several generations past were the valiant assertors of the interests of the Protestant Religion and the liberties of mankind. He was (the) only son of Josiah Winslow, who was the Beauty and Safety of his Country, the Captain-General of all the forces of the united Colonies, under whose conduct the great and memorable action at Naragansett was performed in (the) King Philips War... "Col. Winslow, while he was yet young, was several years a Representative of the town of Marshfield, in the General Court. In 1703 he was chosen into his Majesty's Council and had a seat at that honorable Board during the term of thirty years, and was President of the same (for) six years. He was created a Justice of the Pleas in 1712, and was President of the Court from the year 1728 (for) ten years. He was also Judge of Probate of Willis from year 1718 until his death; and in the Militia he was Colonel of a Regiment many years. In all which public Offices and Employments, both civil and military, he appeared to have in pursuit what ought to be design of all Government, viz, The Good of Mankind. "He was a worthy Patriot and steady friend to the Establishments of his Country, both civil and ecclesiastical; and with grief observed and greatly lamented any distant approaches toward faction in the State and Schism in the Church. In private life, his conversation was agreeable and facetious; his virtue and religion were grave and substantial, real and without affectation. He was a person of great Integrity, Fortitude and Humanity, Singular Modesty and uncommon Generosity. "In his temper he had a large share of placid. He was respectful and obliging to persons of all ranks and character, tho he knew well how to distinguish, so he became acceptable to all and was universally esteemed. And in his advanced yeas, being more apprehensive of the decays of his own nature, than his friends about him were, notwithstanding their strongest and repeated importunities to the contrary, he resigned several of his public offices, viz, his seat at the Council board in 1734; and in May last, his place of Justice of the Pleas...."
