>From SC, James and Permelia (MILLER) WISE are next found in Mississippi where they lived for some time before moving to North central Louisiana abt 1830 so we're not talking about the same James WISE. I have no information on my James' parents or siblings but he probably wouldn't have had a brother of the same name. Maybe a cousin. In or near Baton Rouge covers a lot of territory if you're looking for a burial site. What sources have you checked for your James WISE's grave?

Do you have any information on their children? I am looking for parents of John C. Wise, b. 1828 in Tennessee. His father's name was James and was born in South Carolina, but I'm unsure of his mother's name. I believe this family was in McNairy County from about 1840 - 1870 where James was last recorded living with a Reed family (his daughter and son-in law). Evidently he was widowed by this time. I couldn't find them after that but a distant cousin said she thought he was buried in or near Baton Rouge, but I cannot find any mention there. Other Wise first names found in McNairy County were Henry, William, & John. Thanks for your help. Susan Hensley rhensley@swbell.net >>
