Searching for family genealogical information on the below listed WISE/WYSE/WYS/WYSE/WACE ancestors/relatives whose roots trace back to old Kincardineshire, Scotland. Ancestors from Scotland link to the LOW, DOLLACE, YOUNG, TAIT, and COLLEY families of Kincardinshire, Scotland. Due to the closeness of MARYCULTER to the county line, these families could also be from Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Alexander Wise (b.c1620), George Wise (b.1648), David Wise (b.1681), and John Wise [Sr.] (1721-1780), as listed below, are now believed (with few exceptions) to be the ancestors of the Wise families concentrated in present day Effingham, Bulloch, Tattnall, Bryan, and Chatham Counties, Georgia, USA.
