He is listed as "Isaac Vermilie," an 81-year-old farmer in the Town of Greenburgh, New York, in the 1850 United States Census. His surname is spelled Vermillya, Vermilia and Vermilye in the Westchester County Land Records (Westchester County Land Records Liber Z, p. 288; 32, p.177; 83, p.286).

He himself spelled his surname Vermillya in his will (New York County Wills Liber 111, p.224-225). The tombstone of "Isaac Vermillya" in Saint John's Cemetery in Yonkers, New York, indicates that he was born on July 14, 1769, and died on December 11, 1854 (WCHS Book #40, p.149).
