Am new to this internet stuff. Am seeking information on the Wises of Rockingham County, VA. My 4th great grandfather was John Wise born in either 1761 or 1765, buried on "Wiseland" in Rockingham County. Have not been able to find out who his parents or siblings were. Potentially, originated in Accomack County, VA. As everyone at this internet address is probably in some way related to a Wise and as we all know as a Wise........we are WISE (I think), therefore, I have every confidence that somebody out there can solve my dilemma. If this family can't solve this riddle for me, I'm thinking of changing my name to Smith. Help needed in Maryland. Larry M. Wise (or Smith)
