Mary, I found your inquiry about Uriah WISE on the GenForum for Juniata Co. I have the following WISE family in my SULOUFF AND SULOFF FAMILY HISTORY (5th printing December 1999) _______________________________________________ 1 Emanuel WISE, Sr. b. estimated 1790-1800 d. after 1840 m. 18 Feb 1824 Susannah ZULAUF>SULOUFF (Susannah bore only one son before her death at age 33) 2 Emanuel WISE, Jr. b. 01 APR 1826 d. 06 Jan 1880 m. 01 Apr 1846 Elizabeth RICE (no children of record) m. 29 Apr 1850 Lucinda ALBRIGHT b. 1828 3 Jane WISE b. 1853 3 William WISE b. 1859 3 Catharine 'Cassie' WISE b. 1859 3 Emanuel WISE, III b. 1863 3 Anna 'Annie' WISE b. 1865 3 Sherman WISE b. 04 Sep 1867 3 Josiah WISE b. 27 Sep 1868 3 Barton WISE b. 1869 3 Samuel WISE b.27 Sep 1870 3 David WISE b. 27 Sep 1875 _____________________________________________ I realize there is no "Uriah WISE" among the above, but this WISE family might provide you some leads to investigate. The frequent use of Old Tesament names for the children of Emanuel, Jr. points to a similarity with the name Uriah, which is an Old Testament name. I regret I have not had time to investigate the ancestors of Emanuel WISE, Sr., nor to research the descendants of his grandchildren who are listed above. I would hope to include more WISE ancestors and descendants in the next printing of my book. Emanual, Sr. shows up in Juniata County's Fermanagh Twp. tax records for 1830. The Civil War File for Emanuel, Jr. is found in National Archives File #277337; and the Pension Claim made by his second wife, Ludinda, is found in National Archives File No. 277337, Can No. 607, Bundle No. 27). Please let me know if any of this helps you find your Uriah WISE. Happy hunting, Nelson R. Sulouff
