Tracy: I, too, was fortunate to receive a response from Alan 3-1-1999 regarding the Wise family which migrated from Newbury, Mass. to Hebron, NH, and on to Illinois. Unfortunately, I only have the same email address as you. I don't have anything on Miss Atwood or Thomas Wise. My connection remains at a standstill: James Wise who before 1700 married at Newbury Elizabeth Toppan Clarke. If any of this is along your lines, or if you have any clues on Alan, I would appreciate a response. Thank you. Chris
