• Notes

  JOSEPH WISE Numerous on-line genealogies have Joseph as the child of John Wise and Abigail Gardner of Ipswich. This is a mistake and the mistake is repeated on-line many hundreds of times. That John Wise did have a son named Joseph Wise born abt 1686. That Joseph married Martha Appleton and later died in 1745. This is not the same person. On-line trees also show birth date for joseph wise of 22 Mar 1695 in Somerville, Somerset, New Jersey. That is not the dob or pob of the Joseph Wise, son of John Wise and Abigail Garner. But I have not been able to find any confirmation of it. Many on-line sources have his death in 1783, which is not the dod of the other Joseph Wise. But I have not been able to find any confirmation of this. Bottom line is that the only record we have of Joseph is the marriage record to Hepzibah and him being listed as the father on all of the childrens birth records. Nothing to indicate, age, place of birth or date or location of death. We suspect that the father of Joseph may be Thomas Wise, a mariner from Ipswich who first bought land in Gloucester in 1704, and who moved from there to Attleboro in 1723, where he died in 1728. His will dated 1728 mentions a son named Joseph. Our Joseph is the only Joseph Wise of the right age who shows up in the records of either Gloucester or Attleboro.
