Here's a puzzle for you:. Harris JOHNSON (age 18, 1850 census, Claiborne Parish, LA) would have been born about 1832. Polly WISE JOHNSON b. 1821 would have been about 29 which means she can't be Harris's mother. Polly can't be a daughter of James & Permelia WISE, but she could be a daughter of James B. and Nancy WISE. 3/17/1998 - Bernice Andrews Wise spoke with a JOHNSON family in Claiborne Parish, LA. The Johnsons have a picture of Polly WISE b. 9 MAR 1812 d. 27 JUN 1874 who married Buck JOHNSON in Mississippi. The Johnsons have a land abstract that shows Polly and Buck receiving 50 acres of land from James WISE before he died. Mrs. Johnson says the only reason they were able to get it was because they were related to James Wise. Polly's birthdate is too close to Jasper N.'s birthday for them to be brother and sister. Possibly Polly was a niece of James WISE. The JOHNSON family has a reunion (3rd Sunday in April) in Morton, Miss on Hwy 80 - just off I-20 - about 30 miles the other side of Jackson going toward Meridian.
