There are issues with the parentage and wife of Humphrey Wise. Some feel that his wife's surname was Pakeman Susanna Wyeth and some think it was Tidd Susanna Greenfield.
I will place here information I have found about Humphrey Wise, other then personal trees. So far I have not found any printed reference that lists the surname of his wife or his parentage.
It may be just as well to list his wife Susanna as Unknown parentage until a valid reference can be found?
