Joan, Your GeorgeWise (son of Adam) was born Abt. 1780. I was inquiring about another George, oddly enough is also the son of an Adam Wise. This George was born November 13, 1791 in Washington PA. . He was the son of Adam Wise and Barbara Zollars Wise. I'm running out of George Wises in Maryland and now have started on PA.:) Actually, I came across this George Wise's info at Ancestry.Com and his birthdate is very close to my George Wise. This Adam Wise is actually Adam Wise II and his father Adam Sr. was born in Germany in 1718. I do have a census report that states that my George was born in Maryland but I thought I'd check this one out anyway because of the birthdate. Sorry for the confusion. Mitch
