Pam Shelton-'Anderson to CMB 3/06:
Since it is obvious that Samuel and Elizabeth were in Ohio after Virginia
and prior to Indiana, I started looking there. As you know there is no
extant 1810 census for Ohio, so I started with all of the Samuel Wises
in the 1820. Parker would have been born about 1809 in Ohio, Charles in
1819 and Tully in 1822. They would have had daughters born here too, but
since they were out of the household by 1850, I have not been able to place
some of the Wise females who married in Ripley co IN prior to 1850 with this
family-needs more research.

In 1820 Ohio there were these Samuel Wises:
1) Montgomery co OH: Deed records there show he had a wife Elizabeth
but after quite a bit of research, I found that this Samuel Wise and his wife Elizabeth Wolf were from Pennsylvania and ended up in Carroll co IN (I
actually found this by accident researching another family of mine that
was in Carroll co IN).
2) Belmont co OH: In 1820 had no young sons in his household in 1820.
There is a land patent in Belmont co OH in 1825 for an Elizabeth Wise
who was probably his widow.
3) Gallia co OH: Also no young sons on 1820
4) Cheshire co OH: No young sons in 1820
5) Clermont co OH: Had this enumeration: Samuel Wise 2-1-0-0-1-0 1-1-0-1-0, which makes him very possible as our Samuel. By 1830, our Samuel was in Franklin County, Indiana. The Montgomery co
Samuel was enumeration both still in Mont co OH and also in Carroll co
IN.

Of the Clermont co records:
From the Court of Common Pleas, p 104: Letters of administration were issued to Henry Wise for the estate of William Wise, late of this county deceased. Widow of said deceased has relinquished her right in open
court to administer said estate. Henry Wise paid bond of 1200 dollars
with Wyatt Circus and William Ritchey as his securities. Estate to be
appraised by Wiatt Owens, David Miller and William Richey.

Clermont County Ohio Pioneers 1798-1812 by Alice Whitt has a Henry
Wise on the tax lists in 1810.

Clermont co OH Deeds: Thomas Wise, 1845; No Wises in the 1800-1830
indexes.

Clermont co OH Marriages: Henry Wise to Elizabeth Vandike 13 April
1816 (probably the same Henry as in the 1810 tax list)

Charles Burgess to Peggy Wise 27 Dec 1820. I find this one very
interesting in light of the Job Burgess aged 27 who was living in the
household of Charles B Wise in Ripley co IN in 1850 and could have been
a son of the couple above. This is also a possibly link between the
Clermont co Samuel and the Ripley.

Clermont co OH Probate, have a William Wise 18 Nov 1823 but I have
not been able to find the actual records here in SLC. Obviously hoping
for some mention of his children or siblings.

Clermont co OH tax records: Samuel Wise and Charles Wise are found
1820 to 1824. Then Samuel 1825 and not found after. Our Samuel is found in Fayette co IN in 1825 and his sons George and Jonathan were born there.
