Notes for MAJOR JOHN JAMES ( MAJ.) (5TH) WISE:

A Soldier In the Accomack Virginia Militia.

He was a commissioned Col. of The King. He was a Justice of Peace, an office of great dignity and responsibility under the old judicial system of his time.

Virginia Heraldica: Jan 20, 2000: Major John Wise represented Accomac in the House of Delegates, 1790, and in 1798. And 1799 he was Speaker of the House. He was Commonwealth Attorney in 1805, and Clerk of the court until his death. Record number 6083, Virginia Eastern Shore Pg, 948

(source of death:) Headstone in Wise Cem. Accomack, VA.

Major John Wise was educated to the legal profession, but inheriting a large estate from his father, he combined planting with the practice of law. He was reputed to be one of the ablest lawyers of Virginia, and the fruit of a lucrative practice added to his inheritance made him one of the wealthiest men on the Eastern Shore. He was a man of high character and intelligence, greatly beloved by the people of his native county. He was a Washington Federalist in politics, of the most pronounced type, and represented the County of Accomack in the house of Delegates for about 10 years.

Maj. John Wise after his divorce from Mary Henry and before his marriage to his second wife Sarah Corbin Cropper, moved from his estate on the Chesconnessex, to the village of Drummondtown, the county seat, where he was commonwealth's attorney from Jan 28, 1805 to November 25, 1805. The later date he was appointed Clerk of the Court, and served as an honorable member of that body of old-time Virginia Clerks for seven years, or until his death.

Notes for MARY HENRY:

Direct descendant of Patrick Henry, some records list death between 1794 and 1799.

There are conflicting data about Mary Henry's mother. Some reports say she was Sarah Scarburg hs daughter by Judge James Henry, as her tombstone also states. Another research data repor t states she was daughter of Agnes Mitchell, Judge James Henry's first wife. That same report says Mary Henry remarried after her and John Wise's (divorce ?) She supposedly married Robert Dickey in York Co. SC. about 1780.

Mary Henry went by the name of "Polly" according to the writings of Jennings Cropper Wise.

Notes for SARAH "SALLIE" CORBIN CROPPER:

From the book: Col. John Wise, his ancestors and descendants, by Jennings Cropper Wise, the follwing information is written concerning Sarah Corbin Cropper.

"She is said to have been a handsome blonde, of a high-strung, nervous temperament, and a temper of her own, and received her education at the celebrated school of Mrs. Valerie Fullerton, on Mulberry Street, Philadelphia, where she formed and enjoyed an intimate friendship with Maria Jefferson, her schoolmate. While at school in Philadelphia she had a love affair with Mr. Thomas Sergeant, a nephew of her schoolmistress, and afterwards the distinguished Judge Sergeant of Pennsylvania. This match was broken off on account of some objection raised by her father, and singularly enough, as if by way of illistrating the old saying, that a marriage interferred with between two families in one generation will occur in a succeeding one, and many years afterward, Henry Alexander Wise, the son of Maj. John Wise and Sally Cropper, married the neice of Judge Thomas Sergeant, Miss Sarah Sergeant, daughter of Hon. John Sergeant. It is related of Sarah Corbin Cropper that as she lay upon her deathbed, she turned to a woman attendant, seated by her side, and looking her in the face, asked her if she thought she would ever rise from her bed again, to which query the servant with tears in her eyes, answered, "No"; whereupon the invalid sprang from her bed calling out, "I'll show you, you hussy", and as a result of her exertions died soon after. This good woman is saif to have inherited her fiery temper from her father---General Cropper---and through her, his high spirit was transmitted to her children."

Notes for MAJOR JOHN JAMES ( MAJ.) (5TH) WISE:

A Soldier In the Accomack Virginia Militia.

He was a commissioned Col. of The King. He was a Justice of Peace, an office of great dignity and responsibility under the old judicial system of his time.

Virginia Heraldica: Jan 20, 2000: Major John Wise represented Accomac in the House of Delegates, 1790, and in 1798. And 1799 he was Speaker of the House. He was Commonwealth Attorney in 1805, and Clerk of the court until his death. Record number 6083, Virginia Eastern Shore Pg, 948

(source of death:) Headstone in Wise Cem. Accomack, VA.

Major John Wise was educated to the legal profession, but inheriting a large estate from his father, he combined planting with the practice of law. He was reputed to be one of the ablest lawyers of Virginia, and the fruit of a lucrative practice added to his inheritance made him one of the wealthiest men on the Eastern Shore. He was a man of high character and intelligence, greatly beloved by the people of his native county. He was a Washington Federalist in politics, of the most pronounced type, and represented the County of Accomack in the house of Delegates for about 10 years.

Maj. John Wise after his divorce from Mary Henry and before his marriage to his second wife Sarah Corbin Cropper, moved from his estate on the Chesconnessex, to the village of Drummondtown, the county seat, where he was commonwealth's attorney from Jan 28, 1805 to November 25, 1805. The later date he was appointed Clerk of the Court, and served as an honorable member of that body of old-time Virginia Clerks for seven years, or until his death.
