Ann Bonner, I saw your email and SC Wise family connection and wondered if you have any information or connections with the Wises shown below - perhaps they are related since they are all originally from the Marion County, SC area. Our Wise family group stopped in Bulloch County, Georgia. I suspect there were others who may have moved further west. We, too have disconneted ourselves from the James Wise in Virginia and have redirected our attention to NC and SC. My cousin John Wise in Montgomery, Alabama has much more about the Wise family on his home page. You can reach it at <A HREF="http://www.mindspring.com/~jfwise">John Wise Homepage</A> . Thank you for any information you can offer.
