Yitzchok of Volozhin, the son of R. Chaim of Volozhin. His second wife was his niece, a daughter of his brother-in-law, R. Yechiel Michel Epstein, the author of the Aruch HaShulchan. His son, R. Chaim Berlin, became the Rav of Moscow and a daughter married R. Refoel Shapiro later Rosh Yeshiva in Volozhin. R. Meir Berlin (later Bar-Ilan) was his son from his second marriage.
