General Notes: Husband - John L. Wise

---

The name of Wise is one which has been familiar in America for many generations. For many years the family belonged to what was known as the "Pennsylvania Dutch," and it is but natural to assume that the earliest bearers of this name came to America from Germany, where the name is spelled Weis and Weiss.

The Wise family was of German extraction and it was established in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, by his father.

He was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, there married and then moved to a farm in Beaver County, where he died, aged fifty years. His widow lived to be eighty-eight years old.

He was born in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Abraham Zigler, an early settler, had purchased one thousand acres of land belonging to the Economites, and these he was selling in smaller parcels. From him Mr. Wise bought one hundred acres in Franklin township, [Beaver County,] and resided there until his death. He was also a weaver by trade, and when his sons were old enough to perform the labors of the farm, Mr. Wise left them to manage the farm alone while he devoted his entire time and attention to his weaving business. [GPHBC, 616]
