It is definitely not this George Wise. The ones I am sending mail on are documented to be descendants of Adam Wise who came over from Germany in 1748, he changed his name to Wise when he signed the oath of allegiance when he got off the boat. The allegiance of course was to the King of England as he was coming to colony of that country. I wish I knew more about the later arrivals but I don't.
