I don't know if this information is connected in any way but I will share it with you. I found a WISE during my family research, this is what I have: 1880 Mississippi Census John Wise / b abt. 1870 Virginia Mandy Wise / b abt. 1851 Mississippi 9 children - Penny, Rebecca, Billy, John, Lucien, Chas.H., Alex, Palestine (g-grandmother), Palestina I've concluded that Becky Morgan is the mother of Mandy Wise since she lived with the son Lucien.
