I am looking for the following family of my great-great grandmother, mary Weiss/ Wise, who married John Dehart in Dauphin County in 1861 or 1862. They lived in Highspire, Dauphin County, PA (near Harrisburg), where her father, Jacob Weiss/ Wise, wove rugs on his loom in the office of the railway station in Highspire, where he worked as a ticket agent. The family called themselves both Weiss and Wise, according to our family records, and while the following census record has her 10 in 1850, family records have Mary Ann Weiss born in 1841 or 1842. The following is from the 1850 census: Dauphin Co., Highspire Twp., p. 185, household 16, family 16. Jacob Wise, 44M (b abt 1806), Weaver, $400 (worth of his property), b Switzerland Joanna S. (Johanna Susanna on family records), 41 F (b abt 1809), b Germany Sarah Elizabeth, 15F (b abt 1835), b PA, attending school. Harriet C., 12F, " " Mary Ann, 10F, " " Barbara Anna, 7F, " " Amanda R., 4F, b PA Jason, 1M, b PA There may have been more children born after 1850 census enumeration, it is possible there were also children born before 1850 and not still livingin 1850. If Jason was the only boy, any descendants bearing name Weiss or Wise are descended from him. IT is a relatively unusual name. There was no "Weiss"in Dauphin Co in 1850 census, prob enumerator couldn't spell "Weiss". I gather this is the one Weiss found. I'd appreciate any info or clues anyone has on this family, and would like to correspond with other descendants. Yours, Dora Smith
