Compiled by Boyd W Venable of 2312 Branner Avenue, Jefferson City, Tennessee, 3760, a Wiseman descendant. Thomas B. Wiseman was the oldest child of Abner and Isabell Wiseman, born in 1800 in Monroe County, Virginia (before it became a part ot West Virginia). He died at age 59 on 9/30, 1859 in Estill County, Kentucky. As a small child he accompanied his father Abner and mother Isabell on the relocation trek in 1801/1802 from the Greenbrier Valley of Monroe County over the mountains on the Kanawha trail to Calloways Crossing in what later became Estill County, Kentucky. Thomas B. married late at the age of 37, May 3, 1838 in Perry County, Kentucky, to Lavina (or Lavinia) Barnett, who was 16 years old at the time (born 1822). Also in 1838, as executor, he finished the 15-year chore of liquidating his father Abner's estate. On 9/14, 1847 Thomas B obtained, from the Commonwealth of Kentucky, land grants totalling 300 acres at Quicksand in nearby Breathitt County, and he and Lavina moved there to raise their family. Some time after 1850 they moved back to Estill County. Thomas B was a County Commissioner in Estill in 1855. Thomas B Wiseman and his wife Lavina had ten children, as follows: 1. Nancy Ann, born 1839. 2. A male child born 1835-40, who must have died. 3. David, born 1843 in Breathitt County, Ky; married Amanda Barnett 10/8, 1861. Amanda remarried to John Bryant later. Her children in 1880 were: Henry Wiseman,17, David Wiseman, 14, Mary Wiseman,13, Eliza Wiseman,8, Andrew J Bryant,4(born 10/8, 1861), and Serilda Bryant,l. From these ages, I conclude that David died between 1872 and 1876, at age 29-33. Amanda was born in 1840. 4. Henry, born 1843. 5. Abner, born 1847, married Sarah E and had children Sophia A born 1869, and George W born 2/1870. 6. Thomas, born 10/1849. 7. Benjamin, born 1851. 8. Isabell, born 1854; (In 1880, a tenant in Estill County known as “Bell” Wiseman, age 28, a pauper, seems to have been this person). 9. Mary Elizabeth, born 1856. 10. Jefferson, born May,1860. Jefferson survived to have descendants including J W Wiseman of Norman, Oklahoma. The census of 1870 lists another child, Charles, born 1861, but this child must have been from another family since no other reference to him was found. Thomas's two older sons, David and Abner, were in the American Civil War. They enlisted as privates in the 8th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry (Union) in 1861. After a 7 month illness, Thomas B Wiseman died of dropsy Sept. 30, 1859 at the age of 59. Lavinia was 37 at the time. She was still there in Estill County in 1870, with her four youngest children. Her date of death is not known.
