Hello Bob and Cherie,

Israel/Isreal Wise can be traced in virtually all census records.
His wife, called Caroline L., Carrie L., and Cary L. was born in Illinois.

1920--Macomb County, Michigan
1910--Marion County, West Virginia
1900--Marion County, West Virginia
1880--Greene County, Pennsylvania
1870--Monongalia County, West Virginia
1860--Monongalia County, West Virginia
This census shows that Israel Wise was the son of John and Rebecca Wise. Rebecca was born in Pennsylvania. Israel Wise had 2 older brothers Isaac (age 21) and Thomas (age 20). The Wise brothers may have served in a Pennsylvania or Ohio unit...since both states recruited in northern W. Va. counties. Perhaps some research in Monongalia County is in order.
