Bill, my dad's elderly cousin went into the DAR on that WISE line...but now I understand from another cousin that the DAR has since not approved any more connections with that Accomac Co. VA line for our line of James Wise [1784-1858] m Permelia Miller in SC and migrated through Copiah Co. MS and on to Claiborne Parish, LA. Interesting reading, though, for us folks who don't get to libraries often. Thanks for sharing. Ann Harper Bonner in north LA [gm was a WISE]
