Slave-owner, attorney and merchant on Tortola, and President of the Council of 1833-1838. With his partner William George Crabb he was a major recipient of compensation in the Virgin Islands. According to an online family tree, William Rogers Isaacs was the son of Francis Robert Isaacs and Elizabeth née Glover. "After the death of Hugh Robertson and his wife Frances, born Pasea, they took in and raised their two children, William Cox Robertson and Frances Robertson. As of 26 May 1828, he was the receiver for Norton’s Valley Estate, with William Richardson as Manager. He was President of Her Majesty’s Council in the BVI from 1833 to April 1838." This same source gives William Rogers Isaacs' brother as Robert Glover Isaacs, who was the father of Robert Mackintosh or Macintosh Isaacs (1814-1876), an Australian barrister and politician.
