  • Notes 
    • Humphrey Wise, the immigrant, was living in Ipswich, Massachusetts in 1635, although we do not know just when he came to America. He had a one acre house lot on the south side of the river, and apparently owned other property. His wife's name was Susanna (Susan), but her surname is not known. Humphrey lived in New England for a short time as he died in 1638; subsequently little information is available about him. He did not leave a will.

      After Humphrey's death Susanna married secondly in 1639, Samuel Greenfield of Salem, who was later accused by the court of having taken into his possession without legal order, the property which had belonged to Humphrey. On Jan. 13, 1639, the General Court of Boston ordered the Court at Ipswich "to examine and settle all things belonging to the estate of Humfrey Wisse, including all the land sold and unsold." The Ipswich Court on Jan. 26, 1639, asked for an inventory of the estate which amounted to about 140 lbs. Mr. Greenfield must have been able to convince the court of his honesty, as it approved the sale of the house and land and such other sales as had already been made, and appointed him as administrator of the estate. He gave bond to handle the money and to bring up the five minor children until the boys were 21 and the girls 18 years of age, at which time each was to receive a cretain portion of the estate.

      The court further agreed that with the consent of Samuel Greenfield and Susan, his wife, that Benjamin the oldest boy, should be apprenticed to his brother-in-law, Abraham Perkins, for seven years from Sept. 29, 1638. Since the apprenticeship was dated back it is probable that Benjamin had been living with his sister, Mary, since that date.

      Humphrey and Susanna had eight children, all or most of whom must have been born in England. We do not have their birthdates or order of their births, except that the last five named were minors at the time of their father's death. The three oldest were apparently married and had received their share of the estate before Humphrey's death.
