Career

Isaac Finch was born about a month after the end of the Revolutionary War in Stillwater in Saratoga County. The family moved in 1787 to Peru in Clinton County. He attended public schools. Then he studied law, but was not extensive as a lawyer working. He then sat down with Jay in Essex County, where he worked in agriculture. During the British - American War he served as a Major in the 26th Infantry Regiment. Between 1822 and 1824 he sat in the New York State Assembly.

As a result of fragmentation of the Democratic-Republican Party before and during the presidency of John Quincy Adams (1825-1829), he joined the anti - Jacksonian Group. In the congressional elections of 1828 for the 21th Congress Finch was in the 19th electoral district of New York in the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington DC chosen, where he became the successor of Richard Keese on March 4, 1829. Since he gave up for reelection in 1830, he retired after March 3, 1831 from the Congress.

After his conference time he was again engaged in farming. On June 23, 1845, he died in Jay and was then buried in the Central Cemetery.
