Early Settlers to Carroll County - Samuel Wise

Samuel Wise is mentioned on page 96 of the Recollections of the Early Settlement of Carroll County by J H Stewart:

page 95
Number VIII.
James Alldridge came from Knox County, Tennessee, to Carroll County, in November, 1828. At that time,

page 96
General Milroy, Daniel M'Cain, John Carey, George Diffendaffer, John Little, Thomas Stirlin, Samuel Wise, and John Odell, were residing on the road between the points now known as Delphi and Camden. At that time, Elisha Brown, Moses Alldridge, Jeremiah and John Ballard, were all residing on the land they had previously purchased, on the south side of Deer Creek; and being all of them unmarried, they were "going it alone," or, in other words, keeping "bachelors' hall." It was this circumstance that gave the name to that beautifull little creek wich empties into Deer Creek at Wise's saw-mill, "Bachelors' Run." ...


In addition I have found where he purchased 1440 acres of land in Carroll County starting in 1826 on the Bureau of Land Management web site:
