Morning Dale and Vera Thanks for the info Still after the family of great grandma Sophronia Davenport ( Wiseman ) Montgomery. We have two direction we are going right now. One of the directions we are going is she may be the grand daughter of Martin Thomas Wiseman, Sr born about 1797 and Ann Ennis. That would make her the daughter of one of the below. We are going to build a tree with all the info we have and can get on each of them. So as to take them out of the running one at a time. With the info you have sent here some what takes William Wallace Wiseman out because he has a daughter Sarah / Sophronia Francis WISEMAN born February 08, 1856 in Gold Run, Placer County, California. Died November 09, 1936 in Kaweah, Tulare County, California. Married John Abbott EMERY born Abt. 1848 in Mass. Married: Abt. 1875. We know ours was born February 24, 1851. Died May 08, 1904. Married to James Ferguson Montgomery. He also has a son Richard Bell Wiseman born September 04, 1851. That would have him being born only 6 Months after our Sophronia. The other direction is that she may be the grand daughter of Glover Davenport Wiseman. In a E-mail from Harriett Beach to Judy dated 4 January 2001. She has: I've never come across Sophonia Davenport Wiseman. she isn't Martin's daughter unless he married again after the 1850 census. By 1850 he was 53 and his twins were 16. Martin's sons have been pretty well researched and she doesn't seem to fit with any of them. On the Fulton County 1850 census there are three Wiseman couples that could be the parents of a child born the next year. They are all in Union Township on page 158 of the census, Thomas and Mary, Absolem and Nancy, and Davenport and Matilda. I don't know whether these men were brothers or cousins or what. I've done a pretty thorough job of documenting Martin's sons William Wallace Wiseman and Jonathon Tipton Wiseman and the daughter Elizabeth. There is evidence that Elizabeth and the twins, Jonathon and Absolem were' not the children of Ann Ennis. There mother was probably Sarah Moore. I don't know when Martin's first wife died nor do I know when he married Sarah. There is no evidence of Jonathon twin, Absolem after 1850 but family lore says he was killed in a horse racing accident as a teenager. William W., his wife Frances Morris, their infant son and Johnathon came west in 1852. I think by that time Martin and Absolem were both dead and Jonathon's sisters were both married. Don't give a lot of credence to the fact that the censuses say that Sophonia's parents were born in Arkansas. They may or may not have been. All of Martin's kids were born in Tennessee.
