Elaine mentioned that the above Henry and Margaret were of TN to MO and had a son named James. So I don't think the James Wise I mentioned could be of that family, since ours did not venture to those states. I had queried about Patton WISE of Jasper Co. GA because of a reference I'd seen in a journal. Fred Wise and Jeannette Culbrieth answered. My line James WISE [1781 SC - 1858 LA] went from Marion Co. SC to Copiah Co. MS by 1830 and Claiborne Par. LA by 1840. Many children married LAMBRIGHTs. We're seeking James WISE's parents. Some have surmised Ambrose WISE is his father since one of his sons had that name, but no proof for that. James' children: Joseph F., Archibald, John James, Adah Sarah, Nancy Jane, Ambrose, Ivan, Gilbert, Gideon, Levi, Giles, Obedience, Celia Ann, David Nathan, Delilah. Ann Harper Bonner gbonner@cbt.net
