WISE. I believe he was born around 1835 in Ohio. His wife's name was Augusta [_?_] and they had three sons: 1. Edward P. WISE, born around 1867 in Lee County, Iowa. 2. Frederick Taylor WISE, born 4 Jan 1870 in Ft. Madison, Iowa; married Catharine Anna PETERSON on 1 Feb 1893; died 11 July 1914 in Kankakee, Illinois. 3. Gustas M. WISE, born around 1874 in Missouri; married Leona [_?_]; died after 1930, possibly in Nebraska. Gus & Leona had three sons: Frederick T. WISE (born around 1905), John M. WISE (born around 1910), and Frank? WISE (born around 1912). In 1857, Bayard T. WISE was one of the founders of my town, Beatrice, Nebraska. This summer marks the 150th anniversary of Beatrice, and the community is planning a celebration. The festivities would be even more special if descendants of the founders could attend. If you are a descendant of this family, or know where I can contact one, please contact me at: [email protected]

Wayne: that after a faithful, dangerous and active service, he was honorably discharged (see original disc! harge, signed by General Anthony Wayne 19 May 1795) and is now old, infirm and in great poverty, with a constitution seriously and permanently injured by the exposure and hardship of said service. The undersigned submits the annexed papers and proofs the favorable consideration of congress, with the hope and belief that such relief will be afforded to an aged, ___ and helpless soldier, as may be deemed fit and proper Washington December 22nd 1845 John Carroll Brent Attorney for pensioner State of Ohio Coshocton County On this 15th day of December A. D. 1845 personally appeared before me the subscriber an acting Justice of the peace in and for said county of Coshocton - Christian Wise a resident of Tuscarawas county in the state of Ohio, aged seventy five years who being duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain relief from a generous county. I was born in the year A. D. 1770 in the state of ! Delaware and in the year 1792 I enlisted in the United States service as a private under Capt. Stepheson, Lieutenant James Glen and Ensign Patrick Shirtee recruiting officer under Gen. Anthony Wayne, and I served three years in the campaign against the Indians under Captain Steveson first, then under Capt. Henry De Butts -- I enlisted in Frederick County Virginia and joined the troops at Pittsburgh and was marched to Cincinnati and from there to Greenville on S. W. branch of the big Miami and there remained until we were marched out on the campaign to the Oglaze River where we had an engagement with the enemy in which I took an active part - after the battle we were marched to Fort Defiance at the mouth of the Maumee River. I there built the Fort in which I was much exposed - from there we were marched to the mouth of St. Joseph's and St. Mary's River and there built Fort Wayne - Before building fort Wayne we had to construct a bridge some 40 rods long to enable the army and baggage to pass over, in constructing such bridge, I took my regular turn, I had to be in the mud and water from a few inches, to 4 or 5 feet deep, where my health suffered severely and from which I have never since recovered my health. In building Fort Wayne I was again much exposed and constitution ruined. We were allowed only half rations, had to work exceedingly hard in very rainy weather, with only linen tents and slept on the ground for some 2 or 3 weeks - until the Fort was built. My health gave way so much whilst building fort Wayne that I was exempted from duty until I recovered a little and again performed duty as before - There in building the Fort I was attacked with a violent pain in my left shoulder for some 8 weeks or two months and my left shoulder is now much shriveled and reduce! d in size and power so as to disable me from labor and frequently so bad as to prevent raising my arm to my head - for the last 25 years I have at no time been able to lay on my left side to sleep even the shortest time. From Fort Wayne we were marched back to Greenville then headquarters and there I was honorably discharged in May 1795, but not receiving my pay then due me I was compelled to tarry until the fall of the year and then started for home, east of the mountains - from Marietta I had to take to the wilderness, through the Indiana country and aimed for Clarksburgh in the mountains, during which time I was alone and suffered beyond my power now to narrate. Without provisions after a few days travel I dared not fire a gun for game, or kindle a fire at night (though very cold weather) lest the Indians should perceive me - from the time I left Marriott in Ohio until I reached home I had to wade middle Island creek, elk River, Stony River, North B! ranch and ___ some thirty times - some of which were frozen over and much ice in most of them and now on the ground - The money I received for my services was not sufficient to carry me home and I had to sell my gun for half price to enable me to reach home. I also being too week to carry it further. During most of the three years I was in the campaign I acted as a regular spy or wood ranger, frequently alone and sometimes 2 or 3 days out at a time and not infrequently without food for 2 or 3 days at a time except what beechnuts I could find - lie bedding on the ground at night not daring to make a light for fear of the Indians. Acting in the capacity of a regular Spy is probably the most dangerous duty in the Indian war and in that capacity I suffered much. I am and have been for many years very poor and unable to maintain myself and had not the charities of my friends - acquaintance administer to my necessities I ___ have suffered more then I have - but they too are in limited circumstances and cannot in justice to themselves aid me further.
