Lorena, I have a Benjamin Wise that was born about 1772 in NC. Can you make a connection with him? Bobbie

Bertha: Thanks for the response. Are you a descendant? If so I would like to hear more from your family. I am the author of German Speaking People and it's good to know it has such far reaching effect. I am a descendant of David who went to MO.

Bobbie: Are you talking about the Benjamin in Rowan, Rutherford and Burke Counties? If so I have been unable to find any kind of connection between him and our family. Frederick was in Lincoln Co. as early as 1753 or before and married a dau of Daniel Warlick. He didn't make waves in public records so it's been hard digging on this family. Maybe someone on this list will find a connection. Lorena WISE-L-request@rootsweb.com wrote: Lorena, I have a Benjamin Wise that was born about 1772 in NC.

Looking for the descendants of Frederick Wise b. before 1730 d. ca 1809 Lincoln Co., NC. Sons John, Henry, and Jacob remained in the area. Daughters Maria Claira m. Philip Coulter and Barbara m. Thomas Rhyne did likewise. Daughter Maria Elizabetha (Marillis) disappeared from records and nothing more is known about her. Son David moved to Cape Girardeau Co., MO ca 1810 and his children moved into Pike, Greene, Macoupin, and Calhoun Co., IL. Son George moved to Buncombe Co., NC where he died before the 1830 census and his children moved into GA, SE TN and westward.. John had son Daniel who moved to Chester Co. SC. son George who moved to Indiana according to court records, but is disputed by some researchers who say he moved to Blount Co., AL. Henry's son John R. moved to Buncombe Co., NC where he appears on the 1850-60 census. Would like to hear from anyone concerned with these families as their records are needed for a Frederick Wise Family History now well underway.

John Wise are as followed: 1635 Accomac Immigrant 1652 Hungar's Parish (Church of England Episcopal) Near Bridgetown. Upper parish of Northampton County was divided. Hening Act of Assembly Nov 25, 1652. 1) Ocquahannock Parish, later called Accomac Parish divided by law in 1762. a) Lower parish which included Pingoteague (Pengoteague?) was named St. George Parish built between 1652 & 1660. John Wise (4th?) b) Accomac- Upper parish 2) Hungar's Parish - Northampton Accomac & St. George Parish were then divided "by a line to begin at the mouth of Parker's Creek, thence to run up the said creek to the head of Rooty Branch, and thence by a direct line to be run to the head of the branch called Brummond's New Mill Branch, thence down the said Branch to the mouth of Hunting Creek. Act Of Assembly 1762 The presence of the New England Puritains and the Reformed Churchmen of Manhattan and Holland had greatly liberalized established Episcopacy. p. 269 Ye Kingdom of Accomack; Wise, Jenning C. 1911 The author has frequently heard that the first communion set of St. George's church was presented by the immigrant, John Wise, though there is no record to that effect. p. 273 Johannes Wise, Sr. I have in my notes as born 1644 in Accomac, Virginia. Died in Accomac Virginia. Johannes married twice to Frances Parker and Abigail Parker, sisters (d/o John Parker II and Bridget Sacker); no known issue through Abigail Parker. Johannes Wise and Frances Parker had the following children: George 1680-1763 Tabitha 1682-1758 Johannes born abt 1683 Thomas born abt 1684 Matthew born abt 1685 Ezekiel born abt 1685 Joseph born abt 1686 Drummond born abt 1687 I have found that even the best books written have missed children within a generation so I could not say that all the children are inclusive to any Wise marriage written. Hope this helps, Sue Bouchey

Jeff, What part of AL did your Wises settle in. My Wise line settled in Geneva and possibly Coffee County. At the present my Wise line ends with Morgan Wise. All I have is his name, from elderly relatives that remember him. He left his wife Donnie Ellen in Slocomb, AL and remarried. I have no other info on him. Donnie Ellen (I don't have her maiden name.) is buried in Slocomb with her daughter Bessie Lee Wise Hardwick. Bessie Lee died young so her children never knew much about her family. I don't have much time to research at the library, but the census lookups that I have done do not show a Morgan Wise. I'm wondering if this was his middle name. I did a deed search in AL and found a William M. Wise in Coffee County, very near Geneva Co. I'm wondering if this may be the same person. If you have any information, I'd love to hear from you.

My family came to Alabama between 1825 and 1830 from Onslow County, NC. Research by two other relatives believes that we originally came from a Col. John Wise. There is a book (published about 1918, so it is rare) with a title like "Col. John Wise of Virginia". I have seen this book but was looking for some specific information, thus I only scanned it. Now that I have more details, I intend on going back to the library and looking at it again. The connection to you is thus: Col. John Wise emigrated to Virginia in 1635 from England. The family was involved in the shipping business and lived in the Accomack County, Va. area. Some later Wises moved to Maryland for business purposes. Some believe that a group left Maryland for North Carolina because the shipping lanes included the West Indies. They eventually ended up in Onslow County. I can not confirm this part. But it is very certain that Col. John Wise did come to Virginia and some Wises did move to nearby Maryland. I suggest you try to find this book in a library near you. You will probably find it only in "big" libraries, since there were only 275 copies printed, with 15 reserved for the author. I believe his name was John Cropper Wise. The next time I go to the library, I will try to get the full author/title/classification so you may try to locate it. Unfortunately, due to work and family situations, this may be several weeks. I do expect my situation to improve when my welding class (two night per week) and my son's soccer season is over. Good luck. I hope this helps you.

Joan, My George Wise was definitely born in Maryland in Abt. 1791, his son William was born abt. 1819 in Ohio. William was my grt grt grt grandfather. He died in 1895.

Dear Mitch: George Wise was my great-great-great-grandfather. He was the son of Adam and Frances [unknown maiden name] Wise. He was baptized on July 16, 1780 at St. Andrew's Parish in SMC, married Sophia Hammett on 11/24/1813, and died about 1830.

Very excited to see your post on Benjamin Wise b. about 1772 probably in NC. The following Benjamin Wise is my dead-end in my family lineage: BENJAMIN WISE was in Mecklenberg County, NC 1790 census, apparently living alone and probably a minor. He seems to have been bonded to a William Cuthbertson because he was a minor, apparently orphaned, and moved with him to Burke County NC. (But family legend says that Benjamin had 3 brothers, 2 of which moved to Virginia). Benjamin married Sarah Cuthbertson (apparently William's daughter) in the early 1790's and I think lived out his life in Burke County. One of his children was named Josiah. I have more info on the children and their descendents that I can access later if you are interested. (Cuthbertson may be Culbertson - I can check on that). I am looking for all possible information on Benjamin, his parents, immigration, etc. You may e-mail me directly at bmccay@aol.com. Please reply.
