James and Tabitha Wiseman, Monroe Co.,TN.
Found on Internet that James Wiseman was James W. Winder, b. 7 March 1837 McMinn Co.,TN. Mother, Mary Carnes. Father, Unkwn. Married Tabitha Lunsford b. 13 May 1851 Monroe Co., TN., d.24 July 1928 Monroe Co.,TN. Buried at Hiwassee Cem. Dau. of George Lunsford of N.C. and Elizabeth Lunsford of TN. CAN ANYONE PROVIDE ANY INFO ON THIS? My grmother was grdau. of James and Tabitha. She said the Wisemans were German, that James received money from the federal gov. because he was part indian. Abt.1950 there was disagreement among the family about whether or not the Wisemans were Jewish. Quite a few Wisemans bur. Hiwassee Cem. I was told, same family. Told it is same family that donated the land for Hiwassee College to be built on.
