General Notes: Husband - Adam Wise, Jr.


He became owner of a farm of about 276 acres adjoining the land of his brother Peter. About 1812 he became the owner of the old Wise mill, and of 100 acres of the old homestead. He operated the mill in con­nection with his farms until 1824, when he dis­posed of his property among his children, and re­tired from active business life. He was a member of the German Baptist or Dunkard Church, and so great was his religious zeal, that when he erected his new brick residence, later owned and occupied by James R. Hawkins, he had the second story finished in one compart­ment, so that public religious services could be held therein. His wife, however, was of the Lutheran faith, and was one of the original mem­bers of the Lutheran Church, which was organized there by Rev. Stowe in 1792.
