General Notes: Husband - Frederick Wise
He was joint owner with his brother Joseph of the Wise mill property, and in addition he owned about 120 acres of the original “Fishery” tract, having purchased it from his father.
He and his wife were both members of the German Baptist Church, of which he was an elder or deacon. He was of a quiet, peaceable disposition, and was pre-eminently a peacemaker. He was frequently called upon to settle disputes among his neighbors, and especially among the membership of his church, and so great was the confidence reposed in his wisdom, justice and impartiality, that his arbitrament generally proved satisfactory, and the blessing promised to the peacemaker by the Divine Master rested upon him, even during his life on earth.
General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Burson
She was a Quakeress by birth, and could trace her lineage through a long line of Quaker ancestry back to Joseph Burson, who came from London, England, to Philadelphia with William Penn's first colony of Quakers in 1681. Her great-great-grandmother was Mary Potts, an aunt of Isaac Potts, at whose house near Valley Forge Washington had his headquarters in the Revolution.
