Middletown, Frederick County, Maryland. First known ancestors were Philip Wise (b. 1766-1774, d. 1823) and his wife, Barbara (Becker) Wise. They had many children. Also interested in Valentine Wise and his descendants since he lived in the same area and is believed to be related. I have some knowledge of almost every other Wise in Frederick County from mid 1700's to mid 1850's. Who are ancestors? Kevin
