Morn-in Ted We have been looking for our GGrandma Sophronia Davenport Wiseman family for a long time. What we are doing now is trying to prove who are not her family. Sure getting a lot of Wiseman info together. See some below. Thank for the info you sent Happy hunt-in Jim and Judy Shuck Montgomery JIM M. As for Daniel and Nelly (Harrison ) Wiseman being in Arkansas don't know As for GGrandma Sophronia Davenport Wiseman family being of Arkansas. We do not have proof that they were in Arkansas. What we do have is that she was there. We are with you on Saphona of the Daniel Wiseman and Nelly Harrison family. See below 1860 Tennessee census. Would you by chance have a 1850 census for Daniel and Nelly ( Harrison ) Wiseman. 1860 Tennessee, Warren County, McMinnville page 471 dated 9 August 1860 WISEMAN Dan'l 39 M Tennessee Nelly 38 F Tennessee Audley 14 M Tennessee Saphona 12 F Tennessee Milly 10 F Tennessee George 9 M Tennessee Nancy 7 F Tennessee Licinda 2 F Tennessee We are working on where this Saphona was in the 1870 census. Want to prove that she is not our Sophronia. Not knowing where she was in 1870 would have let Daniel and Nelly's Saphona go to Arkansas by her self or with some one. For what reason can not tell. We know that our Sophronia Davenport Wiseman was in Arkansas 1870. See below 1870 census. Sophronia is listed in the 1870 Fulton County, Arkansas Census page 109 with the Wiley King family Wiley King 49 Alabama Farmer Mary 50 Alabama Samuel 22 Alabama Albert 20 Arkansas Alfred 15 Arkansas Wiley C. 13 Arkansas Sophronia Wiseman 20 Arkansas We know that she married our GGrandpa on 6 July 1871.
