General Notes: Husband - Frederick Wise

---

He founded the town of Fredericktown, Pennsylvania, situated on the Monongahela river, on land patented and owned by him, and named it after its founder. The survey was made March 8, 1790. He seems to have been a Prohibitionist, a rare distinction probably in his day, for among other things he stipulated in his deed to purchasers of lots “that no distillery for the destruction of grain or fruits shall be at any time erected on the premises.”
