Dear L Wise: I am a direct descendant of Richard Wise of Saint Mary's County (SMC). I have a great deal of information about this line and there is a great deal of information at the St. Mary's County Historical Research Library. I have verified only back to James Clinton Wise (Senior), 1815-1861, my great-great-grandfather. Richard Wise (circa 1647-circa 1731) was believed to have been born in Warwickshire, England, and arrived in SMC at or prior to 1692-93. He had four children: William, Adam, Frances, and Matthew Wise. Does this look like the line your are referring to? -----Original Message----- From: WISE-D-request@rootsweb.com <WISE-D-request@rootsweb.com> To: WISE-D@rootsweb.com <WISE-D@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, October 13, 1998 6:20 AM Subject: WISE-D Digest V98 #107
