Correction on which book I researched in Shreveport, LA -- it was THE WISE FAMILY OF LOUISIANA and Related Families of Hunt, Collins, Odom, Zachary, Sweat -- by Erbon W. Wise, Sulphur, LA, 1961. However, on page 1, he quotes from the preface of COL. JOHN WISE OF ENGLAND AND VIRGINIA, HIS ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS, by Jennings Cropper Wise, 1918, The Bell Book and Stationery Co., Inc., Richmond, VA.
