Born in the British colony of Grenada, Joshua Isaacs was named for his father who died just two months preceding his birth. His mother, Hannah Levy Isaacs, was a daughter of New York merchant Moses Raphael Levy and his second wife, Grace Mears Levy.
Having made his way to America, Isaacs supported the American cause during the Revolution, joining a militia in Lancaster County in 1780. He soon met and married Justina Brandly Lazarus, who had come with her father to the bustling outpost of Lancaster in search of a Jewish husband. After their first two children, Joseph and Frances, were born, the young couple moved to New York. They would have three more surviving children, including Solomon.
Isaacs became a prominent member of the Jewish community. He served as parnas of Shearith Israel, and was a consistent contributor to the synagogue. In his will he endowed fifty pounds to Shearith Israel for the purpose of providing poor children with an education in Hebrew. He also asked that his resting place be "in our Jews' burying ground in New York among my relatives and friends."
