Can confirm that the following served during the American Revolution with Francis Marion:

William Wise (who seemed to receive land and move to Beaufort District)

James Wise

John Wise (who had grants up and down the Pee Dee, it seems)

Jonathon Wise.

Thomas Wise applied for a pension. More research is needed on his file, but indications are that he served in some capacity in some war.

Only two Wise family members have been documented in DAR

Jacob Wise https://services.dar.org/public/dar_research/search_adb/?action=ful...

and

Jacob Wise https://services.dar.org/public/dar_research/search_adb/?action=ful...

both of Edgefield District across the state from the Pee Dee.
