Anyone have any WISE connections? They came out of Georgia. ".... About "10" of his (James WISE & Permelia MILLER) sons came over to Webster Parish and settled at Wiseville, about two miles south of what is now Shongaloo, Louisiana. One son, J. G. WISE was a doctor, Dover (?) WISE was a preacher, the others were merchants and farmers. The Civil War scattered and took its toll in this family. Two died in service. Dr. G. J. WISE lost his home and slaves while away in war. After returning from fighting, he took his wife and two small children and went over to the present site of Shongaloo, Louisiana and continued practice. At this time, the place was an Indian village, whose highways were cow-trails and deer trails. Later he moved onto a homestead a mile west of town and retired from practice."
