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.
