I do not know whether this is of use or how common the name "Casper" was, but during the mid 1700 - late 1800's, there is a family of Wise's in the York/Adams County area of Pennsylvania which began with a "Casper" and the name repeats each generation that I observed. They were of German descent and were probably Catholic. If this is worth investigating, let me know and I will look for that material. Kevin D. Wise

Wise an E-mail, but she has not replied. Also, I am a "Barbour County" Wise, and not a "Coffee County" Wise. Apparently, this Mary Wise now lives in Dothan but is from Coffee County. I am expecting to get a reply from her soon; it has been only four or five days since I found out about her. In case you don't remember your Alabama geography, Barbour is on the border with Georgia. Eufaula (where I was born) is the largest city (about 12,000). Lake Eufaula was made by the Walter F. George Lock and Dam built near Abbeville. Tourism, fishing, fishing electronics, and American Builders (make panels etc. for all-steel buildings) are the principal products. Peanuts are the principal farm product, along with pulp. Due South of Barbour is Henry and Dale Counties. Dale borders Coffee. >From my parents home, it is about 50 miles to Enterprise, 25 miles to Ozark, 25 miles to Eufaula, and 45 miles to Dothan. Jeff

Hello Jim....I also am searching for an Indiana Wise. My GGrandfather, George Wise (middle name unknown) Was born in Indiana but I have no idea where, birth date is also unknown but believed to be abt. 1845. Married Mary Ragen and had a son, Casper George Wise in 1863. The family later moved to Wapello co. Iowa. Could your George Washington Wise possibly be the same as my George?

I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds here, but I would like to hear about the various Wise migrations across the US. I'm vaguely aware of the group that pushed through Colorado to Oregon & Washington, but I've heard very little of the others. Happy Hunting, Frank W.

To Mitch Wise: My Charles Wise died 21 Mar 1897 in Sullivan Co Indiana (at least thats whats on his tombstone). Thats about all I know. Thanks

A Mitch Wise had asked about Wise people in Indiana. My gg-grandfather Charles Wise was born in Harrison Co Indiana, was later found living in Clay Co Indiana. He was born in 1829, was mar to Deniza McMonigle, their children were: Martha, Sherman, George Washington, Daniel Webster, America D. (Jenny), and Rosella ( very patriotic names). I know little of him before that. Could there be a connection ?

Jeff, Would this Lemuel Wise been born about 1805? I have beeen searching for a Luvert (maybe a bad decipher job on my part) for quite some time and have no luck.

My theory is that our lines will meet in North Carolina. So, with that in mind, let me ask you to be on the watch for the parents of Ephraim (spelling?), Ezekiel, Richard, or Lemuel H. Wise. If we can make the connection to the Col. John Wise family, they have been traced to 1066 in England. If you're interested in working backwards and forwards on this, see www.espl.org, which is the Eastern Shore Public Library. See the "Mears collection". Unfortunately, this data stays with the Wises that stayed in Accomack County Virginia and not the ones that moved on. But we have two or three generations there, so there is only (PROBABLY) three or four missing generations. Good luck and keep in touch. Jeff Wise

Jeff, Have you connected with the line? Given that you are in Coffee County I can only assume that you have. However, I haven't seen enough information yet to make the connection. Have you contacted Mary Agnes to confirm the connection. I always watch the Wise lines, so I'll continue to watch out for Richard, etc. Thanks, Kay

Listmembers, I have been approved by Rootsweb to start a WISE surname query board as a part of the GenConnect system. It is up and ready to accept your WISE queries. One nice thing about this board is that it will be part of the GenConnect system. When anyone uses the GenConnect global search utility all boards will be searched including all GenWeb (county, state and country) and surname boards (query, biographies, wills, obits, etc.). At this time I have only set up a query board but if there is enough interest I can set up boards where we can post wills, obits, etc. Feel free to go to this board and post your WISE query. PLEASE follow the instructions on the page. Give your query a good subject line. Remember you are trying to catch the eye of that person or persons who have the information you need. In the surname box list only the surnames you mentioned in the query (not all your surnames). My WISE board is at the following URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Wise If you want to go to the surname index to see what other surname boards are available in association with the GenConnect system go to: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/indx/FamAssoc.html If you want to do a global search for a surname there is a link on each GenConnect page. Just click on it and go. Jim Wise listowner - WISE mailing list

George Wise --Margaret Sinclair-- MD 1808 Does anyone have info on this George?? I only have these names and marriage 04-09-1808. Mitch Wise

In the Abstracts of the Wills of Onslow County, Thomas Wise's will (30 March 1807 - June 1807) mentions wife Mary: sons Matthew, Selby H., Thomas and Ezekuel; daughters Hannah Bell, Elizabeth Wise, Sarah Tanner. Executors were wife Mary Wise and son Selby H. Elizabeth couldn't have been Thomas' daughter, but could easily be the daughter of one of his sons. This line of Wises often named children after siblings. If you do find this to be the case, please let me know. We may be distantly related. I'm currently researching this line. I have a poor quality photocopy of Thomas' will, if you need it.
