  • Notes 
    • John wisdom, whose will was probated 26 Aug. 1762 in Orange Co., VA; leaving his large Estate to his widow, Ann Collins Wisdom (c. 1718-1799) for the duration of her widowhood or lifetime. John Wisdom came to Orange Co., Va in year 1733, either from England or from King & Queen Co., Va. Circumstantial evidence suggests that John along with a William & two Francis Wisdoms, and a Nancy Ann (Nan) Wisdom White were close kin. (Probably, issue of the elder Francis Wisdom of the group, who had lived in both King & Queen, and Glouster Counties; and of most significance, that the elder Francis Wisdom, may have been one of the sons of the immigrant, Thomas Wisdom, who first settled in Petsoe parish, Glouster co., FA in or before year 1665).
