In 1546 his father had given him a legacy of five marks, doubtless the foundation of his capital of future years. About 1551, like his brother Gregory, he became a citizen and freeman of the mercers, of whose company he was warden in 1567 and 1577, and a merchant adventurer of London. He must have prospered from the first, for he joined with his brother Robert, the parson of Pytchley, in the purchase from Sir William Cecil of the manor and advowson of Lamport on Jan. 13, 1559-60 for oe610, a purchase recorded in the remembrance book of Sir John Isham his grandson.

His will of Sept. 22, 1594, orders that there should be laid upon his grave a fair plain stone with a scutcheon of copper or brass in each corner, on which scutcheons should be graven the arms of the city of London, the arms of the merchant adventurers of Flanders, the arms of the mercers of London, and the arms of the Ishams, "with such other arms, superscriptions, verses and posies as my son Thomas Isham and other sonnes and friends shall devise and allow of to testifie to posteritie of what house I descend bothe of my father and mothers side, that I was a merchant adventurer of the cittie of London and free of the company of the mercers, and by that meanes with the blessing and favoure of God receyved my preferrment and was enhabled to purchase the manor of Langporte and patronage of the church. --- According to the family tree John Isham had 6 sons and two daughters, Anne and Elizabeth. John the 1st Baronet had 1 son and two daughters, Elizabeth and Judith. Justinian the 4th Baronet had a daughter Susanna born 1696 and died 1726, we believe unmarried as there is no mention of a marriage on the family tree.
