My grandmother was Ada Wise. She lived with her family in Pontotoc County during the 1920s. Her parents were James Preston Wise and Ether Linda Wise. They had 9 children...Henry, Lonny, Hilry, Emmitt, Press, George, Alma, Ether, and Ada. James Preston also had a brother, Billy Wise. The family was originally from Georgia, and moved to Texas in the 1890s. They were tennant farmers and lived in Pontatoc County for a few years in the 1920s. I have more information on this Wise family that goes back to the late 1700s if you are interested. You can email me at JanicePPowell@aol.com.
