Amasyalıdır. Receb Mahallesi eşrâfından el-Hâc Mehmed Ağa bin [142] Ebûbekir Ağa’nın oğludur. Amasya eşrâfından olup üç defa şehir kethüdâsı, 1069’da Tokat Voyvadası ve Amasya Beytü’l-mâl emîni ve 1071’de ma’zûl oldu.
Ba’dehû Köprülüzâde Fâzıl Ahmed Paşa’nın sâye-i ikbâlinde kapıcıbaşı olarak devr-i hidemât ederek 1087 hudûdunda vefât etdi. Birâderi el-Hâc Halil Ağazâde Ebûbekir Paşa’nın tercemesi yazıldı.
He was from Amasya. He was the son of Hacı Mehmed Ağa, one of the notables of the Receb quarter; Hacı Mehmed Ağa was the son of Ebûbekir Ağa. One of the eşrâf of Amasya, he was city kethüda three times; in 1069 [1658-59] he became Voivode of Tokat and beytülmâl emini of Amasya, and in 1071 [1660-61] he was dismissed.
Afterwards, in the fortunate days of Köprülüzâde Fâzıl Ahmed Pasha and under his patronage, he served as kapıcıbaşı and died around 1087 [1676-77]. The biography of his brother Hacı Halil Ağazâde Ebûbekir Pasha has been written.
Köprülüzâde Fâzıl Ahmed Pasha, under whom İsmâil Ağa became kapıcıbaşı, was born in 1635-36 in the town of Köprü (Vezirköprü), attached to Amasya, and was grand vizier for more than fifteen years. That is, the grand vizier who raised a notable of Amasya had himself been raised in the same region. Hüsameddin's statement that he rose under his patronage after his dismissal in 1071 fits this regional connection; but no record showing how the relationship was formed was found in the sources read.
No information was found in other sources on İsmâil Ağa, his father Hacı Mehmed Ağa, his grandfather Ebûbekir Ağa or his brother Hacı Halil Ağazâde Ebûbekir Pasha. No details were found on his Tokat voivodeship, his post as beytülmâl emini of Amasya or his kapıcıbaşı service. The location of the Receb quarter is not given in the sources read.
