Hi Melba, I have done a lot of research and compiling on this Wiseman family as my family settled at about the same time Abraham Wiseman came up to Harrison Co., Indiana from Kentucky.
There are a few statements you made that need addressed. First, Jacob Wiseman, who came to Washington Co., Indiana in 1818, was not Abraham's brother. He came from Rowan Co., NC and I have his family record.
Crawford Co., IN was created from Harrison Co., IN in 1819 and was never a part of KY.
It was John Wiseman, Abraham's father, of Nelson Co., KY, who is believed to be the same John Wiseman captured by the Indians and later released at Fort Pitt. (I have that record)
If you read the biography of Tecumseh and his brother Prophet, you will find the Indian names of their parents and no proof has ever been found to indicate otherwise. It is a nice story, but holds no proof!
BTW, David Wiseman was a son of Abraham Wiseman and he was never captured by the Indians.
As soon as time allows, I will send you more documented history on your Wiseman family.
Bob.
