Welcome, I am semi-retired also, my big box store closed last year, and have been working on honey-do list, and keeping house house and yard in order. My Wise's are from Pennsylvaina - Ohio - and settled in Michigan.

In Robinsons "History of Green Co. Ohio" page 31, Bath Twp. an enumeration of all white males over 21 was made. My Richard Wise was on the list. On page 399, a list of Greene Co. Pioneers from 1803-1840 listed Joseph Wise [born between 1810 and 1820 } Jacob Wise [born 1790-1800]. I lost them after that. I believe that they were sons or grandsons of my Richard Wise born about 1760 in St Marys Co. Md. Richard Wise had a son Thomas who died in 1867 in Shelby Co. Ohio. Thomas's will mentioned William, Joseph, John and Daniel receiving 1/4 of 1/13 each. Daniel born 1802 died in Shelby Co. Ohio . But who wereWilliam, Joseph, and John and Jacob???? Richard Wise born 1760 in Md. married Elizabeth Betsy Bodkin in Clark Co. Kentucky in 1799.Richrd died 1814 in Greene Co. Ohio but there was an Elizabeth Wise on the 1830 census of Greene Co. Bath Twp. 50-60 years of age who could have been Betsy Bodkin. Betsy was the daughter of James Bodkin Sr. and Delilah Hicklin. Can anyone help me figure out where William, Joseph, John nd Jacob went ????

Hi Billie My WISE ancestors originated in Kent County England;the earliest ancestors identified in the early 1730s. Six ancestors immigrated to Canada between 1834 and 1872 ( WISE, LOFFT, REDPATH & MIDDLETON). I cannot identify earlier immigrants. Most of the Canadian WISE are still in Ontario but some immigrated to Michigan (two) and Ohio (two - WISE & MCCULLAGH) and Manitoba (one - PLUMMER).
