First Generation  

1. John WISE [22612] was born about 1778 in Maidstone Kent England and died in 1837 in France aged about 59.

General Notes: In a Commentary on the Wise Family, Christina Williams says:
When he [John Wise] died in 1837 in France he left money to the children of his second marriage only, thus causing a rift between himself and his children by Ann. (This probably caused John Butler Wise to put a dash where his father's name should have been on his wedding certificate when he married Rosetta Wileman).

• Occupation: Brewer and Paper Mill Owner.
