      38. William Washington Wise, born September 23, 1831 in Hardin Co., Kentucky; died October 07, 1888 in Bulitt Co., Kentucky. He was the son of 76. Henry Walter Wise and 77. Ann. He married 39. Catherine Ann Hargan October 04, 1853 in St. Clare's Catholic Church, Colesburg, Hardin Co., Kentucky.

      39. Catherine Ann Hargan, born March 07, 1832 in Hardin Co., Kentucky; died September 11, 1899 in Bulitt Co., Kentucky. She was the daughter of 78. James Hargan and 79. Sarah Fagan.

Notes for William Washington Wise:
William W. Wise's gravestone reflects Sept 23, 1832 as his birthdate.
Church records at St. Clare's lists William W. Wise's birthdate as Dec 31, 1831, and his baptismal date as Jan. 12, 1832. Sponsor - Susanna Wise.

I still believe these are one and the same person for two reasons:
There are no records of another William W. Wise, other than the one that married Catherine Hargan.

The marriage record of Leo Casburg Wise (g-g-grandson of Thomas Hatton Wise) and Mary Edith Wooldridge (I believe to be g-g grandaughter of Henry Walter Wise) states "after obtaining dispensation for three banns and disparity of cult." which means they were 3rd cousins. Thomas Hatton Wise and Henry Walter Wise were both sons of Adam Wise and Susanna Bryan. This would make Leo Casburg and Mary Edith 3rd cousins. Even if I'm wrong in attaching William W. Wise as son of Henry Walter Wise, he must belong to one of Thomas Hatton's brothers for Leo and Mary to be 3rd cousins.
