George, My Wise ancestors were in N.C. This was James and Joseph Wise. Joseph had at least one son Herren,who was born in N.C. Joseph was born circa 1770. He came with his family to the area of Wilkes and Wilkerson Counties in Georgia. Joseph moved with his family to what is today Coffee County, Alabama circa 1823. At the time of the early days of their living in Alabama, ithe area was known as Houston County and then Dale County. I have written and published a 350 page book recently about the descendants of Joseph Wise and his four sons :Daniel, Herren, McKinney and Levy Wise. Many of these decendants still live in Coffee County, but others live in Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, Michigan and other states.I would like to learn more information about the ancestors of Joseph Wise who was born circa 1770 and died after 1830 in Alabama.. I have no idea when this family came to America. I would be so grateful for any information about this family. Mary Agnes Wise
