Benjamin Wesley Wise

Information from Frank Wise's book:

Benjamin Wise was left at the doorstep of William Cuthbertson as an infant. He was raised by William and eventually married William's daughter Sarah. He was given the name Wise because William was supposed to have said, "It is a wise man that doesn't know his father.". (family legend.)

This was an orphaned child who may have been born in England? or may Mecklenburg VA, but he does not belong to this family so I am going to disconnect him (26 Nov 2023)
