Thanks again, Joe Wise jwise89025@aol.com

People listed in some records of Colquitt Baptist Church, Claiborne Parish, Louisiana Genealogical excerpts are from handwritten church records in bound ledger in possession of James Cortez Wise, Jr. , of Colquitt, Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, May 1, 1999, by Dot Wise Wirth. These records follow records of State Line Church, Claiborne Parish, Louisiana. Variations in handwriting and spelling caused some difficulty. J. N. WISE was clerk of State Line Church and then apparently treasurer(?) of Colquitt Baptist Church. "The Baptist Church at Colquitt met in conference and after sermon by the moderator H. T. B. conference met in order. …B. BRAS???, moderator; J. F. WISE, church clerk" Loose pages, by dates apparently for Baptist Church at Colquitt beginning abt 1886. By the fact that most names are entered only once, it may be that these are records of donations for and expenses of the construction of Colquitt Baptist Church, Claiborne Parish, LA. That church, unfortunately, had to be torn down only a few years ago due to extensive damage by a falling tree. A granite marker stands on the site where the church once stood. Dwindling membership, caused by the loss of population in the Colquitt area, has the Colquitt Baptist and Colquitt Methodist churches alternating Sunday services in the Colquitt Community Center (formerly the Colquitt Methodist Church). Names mentioned (all have associated monetary amounts from fifty cents and up). Some are obviously members making donations. Others are amounts paid to persons who may or may not be members, in many cases marked as construction expense for Church. Most notable of these is the following: Barrow V. LSNG (?) Lumber Lumber for church $118. 43 To Barrow G. (H?) GRAY A. M. JARRELL paid for matching Church Lumber $5. 64 And for provisions . 50 J. N. WISE for matching lumber 3. 00 Also for shingles 22. 00 John E. GRAY paid for building purposes up to date $159. 00 Collected $160. 00 Balance down 1. 00 June 18th 1887 J. N. WISE paid for building up to date $165. 00 Received 163. 40 Over 1. 60 June 18th 1887 Another entry, which may indicate a death: JONES, Capt. A. C. , family of, was paid $20 on 27th Dec.

State Line Church, State of Louisiana, Parish of Claiborne. Abstracted from handwritten Church records in the possession of James Cortez WISE, Jr. of Colquitt, Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, May 1999, by Dot WISE WIRTH. As is usual for records of this era, spelling and handwriting create difficulties and the same people may be listed in various ways during the years. It is to be hoped that I have chosen the correct spelling. The Constitution and membership list for the Church are on one loose ledger page. The bound pages start Saturday before the 2nd Sabbath in May 1862 and the next entry on the same page is July 1862, but the third entry on the same page is September 1868. It is said that the church was formed in December 1861 but held no conferences between July 1862 and September 1868, possibly due to the War Between the States. Church members received letters of dismissal by act of dissolution on August 13, 1880 or 1881 although the Church apparently became inactive somewhat earlier. Formed as the State Line Church, the name appears in conference minutes as Church of Christ at State Line in August 1869 and the Baptis Church at State Line in April 1875. The letters of dismissal name the church as the Missionary Baptist Church of Christ at State Line Church or the Missionary Baptist Church at State Line Church. The last letters of dismissal were written following a conference of the Baptist Church at Colquitt with a sermon by H. T. B. where R. BRAS?? was the moderator and J. F. WISE the church clerk. The church petitioned the Columbia Association for admission in 1868 and the Liberty Association in April 1875. Brother Hillery PHILLIPS was called as pastor in September 1868. He left sometime prior to August 1869 when Bro. J. T. H. GRIFFIN was named pastor. The next pastor called to the church was Henry T. BRITT in May 1871, brother G.G. WISE having given at least one sermon in the interim. The Rev. George SAWYERS offered the sermon in June 1872 and was called to be pastor in July 1874. J. B. WISE offered the sermon in October 1875 and was given a letter of recommendation by the church in conference to the Mississippi Clinton? (Christian?) College in 1878. Robert TOMLIN was called to be pastor in September 1876. In September 1878, Bro. G.G. WISE was called as pastor but could not serve. T. B. MONK preached in January 1878 and again in April 1879. "Constitution of State Line Church, State of Louisiana, Parish of Claiborne. We the undersigned do hereby convenant and agree to establish a Church at J. R. BISHOP's House to conform to all the requirement of the Scriptures to live … maintain Ordinances and to attend the Meetings Regularly unless Providentially hindered. Names of Members, Dec. ?." Founding members of the church were as follows: Steven CULPEPPER; Joseph WISE (also listed in minutes as Joseph WISE, Sr.); Joseph L. CULPEPPER; Carnelius LUDLUM; Mrs. Elisebeth HAYNES; Mrs. Martha C. WISE; Mrs. Rebecca LUDLUM; Mrs. Caroline WISE; Mrs. Dealia A.(H?) CULPEPPER; Joseph WISE (also listed as Joseph WISE Jnr., J.B. WISE and J.B. WISE, Jnr.); Mis Amarintha CULPEPPER. Although J. R. BISHOP is not listed, church minutes indicate that he was one of the founding members - perhaps it was to be understood by the fact that the church was formed in his house. Members who joined later were as follows: (August 1871) Redie PRICE; Mrs. Martha PRICE; Miss Josephine MILLICAN; C.W. C. OWENS; Mrs. E. J. OWENS; J. W. OWENS; Mrs. S. J. OWENS; Mrs. Eliza WISE; (August 1872) Leroy BISHOP, Jnr.; Malissa PEAVEY; (April 1872) James CLOWERS; Mrs. P. J. CLOWERS; (May 1868) Miss Martha A. PUCKETT; (August 1872) Mr. Isaac LEE; Mrs. Jane COLEMAN; Mrs. Mary L. MULLINS; Martha CULPEPPER; Eliza Jane BISHOP; Albert PUCKETT; (October 1874) J. N. WISE (Jasper N. WISE); John MILLS; Malissa LEE; Oatas MULLENS; William TEAGUE; Mrs. Elizabeth CULPEPPER; Miss Nancy CULPEPPER; Mrs. Fannie TEAGUE; Mrs. GARNER; (October 1875) A. H. HAYNES; Mary HUDSON; (no membership date is listed in the existing minutes for the following although at least one page of the minutes is missing) George MILLICAN; Manerva MILLICAN; Fannie GARNER; Sallie GARNER; Vinson GARNER; Mary GOODWIN; William CUBBAGE; Josaphine WISE; and Bell WISE. There were two cemeteries at State Line (aka Mineral Springs), Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, Sec. 6 Twp 23 Range 5 about 2 miles southeast of LA Hwy. #61 at the Arkansas State line. According to "Cemetery Inscriptions of Claiborne Parish, Louisiana Volume III" compiled by Elinor McCalman Seward and Wanda Volentine Head, published by J & W Enterprises, 2838 Jody Lane, Shreveport, Louisiana 71118, these were surveyed on February 16, 1985 with only a few graves located. In one cemetery identified as the State Line Baptist Cemetery, the only marker located was for John M. BROWN 1814-1898. In the other, which they called State Line Methodist Cemetery, they identified three markers. Only one of these was intact in May 1999 when the site was visited by Dot WISE WIRTH and Levelle HAYNES: a four-sided ceramic-coated metal spire with the word WISE on one side and the name of one of three children of Jasper Newton and Martha Caroline HAYNES WISE on each of the other sides: Leona Leoti WISE b. 26 MAY 1879 d. 5 JUL 1884; A. (Alexander) MILO WISE b. 10 MAR 1871 d. 18 OCT 1885; and P. (Philander) Hazellow WISE b. 14 NOV 1873 d. 30 APR 1886. Mattie (Martha Caroline) HAYNES WISE, wife of Jasper Newton WISE, is also buried here although no marker has been found. It is possible the fourth side of the above marker serves as her marker. A granite marker for Benjamin F. HAYNES b. 22 - 1817 (father of Martha Caroline) is broken but still at his gravesite about 20 feet north northwest of the WISE marker. The bottom portion of a marker showing the death date of Robert F. HAYNES (4 AUG 1878) along with some other marker fragments is piled with the B. F. HAYNES marker. Apparently the Robert F. HAYNES marker was complete in 1985 as his marker was said to read, Robert F. HAYNES b. 03 SEP 1871 d. 04 AUG 1878. Robert was the son of R. B. HAYNES. As Jasper N. and Mattie WISE were members of the State Line Church which is identified as Baptist and Benj. F. HAYNES was Methodist it seems as if the Baptist and Methodist chose to share a cemetery at State Line just as they did (and do) at Colquitt.

Hi Dot, Maybe you have already seen the book, but below is a scanned version of some pages I photocopied from "A History of Butts County, GA." I found this in searching for my ggggrandfather William H. Hancock. Would also like to get in touch with Dennis to discuss Wises in Tallapoosa County, AL. My gggrandmother, Sophia Hancock Bickerstaff, and her husband lived there briefly before her early death, and I have puzzled over whether this young couple was there because of her Wise/Hancock family connection or his Bickerstaffs, both of which came out of Butts County. Cecile Harrrell Gadsden, AL 642 HISTORY OF BUTTS COUNTY, GEORGIA WISE FAMILY The Wise family moved to Georgia from Virginia via the Carolinas before Butts was a county. Heads of families in the 1830 census of Butts County were Augustus, Barney, and Hugh, sons of Joel Wise and his wife Jane Stewart; Isaiah and Riley Wise, sons of Patton Wise and his wife Elizabeth Johnson, both of whom died in Jasper County leaving descendants there and in Butts County; and Jacob Wise.

I need to pull some of my notes together. I did check out Ancestry and WFT a little bit to try and get a feeling for the earlier WISE family Saturday. Lincoln, Rutherford & Buncombe co's in NC and York Co., SC sure fit in with the Dover path. The WISE connection is new to me but I throw out SHARP and PONDER as well as NELSON and POLLARD as possible connections. Cecile, thanks for the Butts Co. history. Dennis

Mitchel: I have no George Wise of that time period that was b. in Lincoln Co. unless he was son of George, son of Frederick who went to Buncombe Co. and then some of his children moved into Georgia. Henry, son of Frederick and brother to the above George could have had a son George, but There is no estate setlement or other records to prove his children and they have only been done by a process of elimination. Henry died in Cleveland Co. (taken from Lincoln and Rutherford). It is understood that Frederick, sr. was married to a daughter for Daniel Warlick as he received land from Daniel at same time and same value as Daniel's other children an son-in-laws. Frederick also had a son Daniel who disappeared during RW after being tried for treason. Where did your George move to? I would like to learn more as I am preparing the Frederick Wise family history and welcome any information....

The current Claiborne Parish, LA is right on the Arkansas border almost dead center between Texas and Mississippi. At one time, it was part of Natchitoches Parish when that parish consisted of the entire western half of North LA. At an earlier time, land deeds, etc. for Claiborne Parish were registered in Monroe, LA which is quite definitely NE LA. My ancestors are from so far north in Claiborne Parish that they once had Arkansas addresses. <<My Wise ancestors are originally descended from the Accomack County Virginia Wise's. Col John Wise, who emigrated to America in 1635, was the first. His descendants (my path at least) migrated first to adjoing Maryland and then to North Carolina, and eventually Onslow County, NC, and then to Barbour County, Alabama. I am a native of Barbour County.>> My family tried and failed (so far) to establish a connection to this same family. One of my father's first cousins got into the DAR on this line but there seems to be some scepticism about the connection. Since we haven't been able to tie him into anyone else either, this is still possible....???
