Wytheville #4 - descendants you may know.

    Looking at lists of names is interesting if you are curious about your ancestors. Otherwise lists of names can bore you to tears. Unfortunately this is one of those blogs which will be very interesting to a few folks but just names to others. 
     For those who think they may be related to the Wytheville Wisely group here are some names of descendants who you may have heard of. They are mostly from the mid 1900's and may be your grandfather, Uncle etc.  If you find a name here that you recognize please get in touch with me and I can give you the entire family tree from Frederick Wisely on down.
    OK at the risk of boring most of you to tears lets start.
           **********************************************    
 One of the family trees i have starts with Frederick and follows the line through his son Peter. Scanning over the information it appears that they stayed in the Wytheville area until the mid 1800's. Here are the names of those who made it into the 1900's.
    Joel Soloman Wisely died in Indianapolis, IN 1937 (This date seems suspicious as it would make him 110 when he died.)
     George W Wisely died in 1961 in Jackson Co, IL
      He married Ruby May Holt who died in 1964

      Harvey H Wisely (son of George) died 1977 (Jackson Co, IL) in  Carbondale, IL looks like the county seat of Jackson Co.
      One of Harvey H Wisely's sons , Harvey E Wisely made it to Texas and died in 1983 in Kerville, TX.  Harvey E and his wife Elsie had some kids - Barbara Ann, Wanda Lee and James E Wisely - who may still be living. 
       Barbara married Joseph Hidlebaugh in Indiana.
       Wanda Lee married Doug Snyder and had children in Kerrville, TX
        James E married Carol Ann Wise and had a bunch of kids.
There are many more names and dates in this family tree. Hopefully you may recognize a relative named here. Or you may have a relative who lives near Carbondale, IN or Kerrville, TX. (Kerrville is about 50 miles North west of San Antonio)
          **************************************************

Another family tree follows more children and contains more information but only lists people into the mid 1800's. The geographical locations may help you decide if there is some connection geographically with the Wisely's listed in that family tree. Again just contact me and I will gladly share whatever information i have. 
     It seems a number of Peters children left early for Indiana. (Peter was brother to the Daniel in Wytheville 3) Several children moved to Monroe Co, IN in the Bloomfield area.  There are numerous entries for Monroe County, IN. That is where Michael Wiseley headed in 1887 after being arrested for stabbing a guy and was nearly lynched.
     One of Daniels kids  (Daniel Jr) wound up in central Missouri, Howard Co. 
     One of Daniels nephews (also named Daniel) died in Lamar County,TX. 
     And we have a James Wisely (Grandson of Peter-old Daniels Brother) who moved to Ray County, MO-(about 30 miles northeast of Kansas city) He had a bunch of kids and gave them unique names.  Wythe, Virginia, George Washington, Hatfield, McCullough, Elkanah, Joseph, Leftridge, Minnie, Flora and Grover.  Yep all first names. The youngest died about 1953, so you may have heard of one of thse old timers.
      If you know kinfolk who lived near Bloomfield, IN, Liberty, MO,  Carbondale, IL, Kerrville and Paris, TX. you may just be part of this family line.  Hope a few people have been helped with this tedious reading blog.  The next blog will be more fun. We will start tracing a new line of Wiseley's and learn more about the Scotch-Irish people.
