Archibald Wiseman (1813-1853)

Archibald Wiseman (1813-1853) was from Ballywatermoy Townland in County Antrim. He left there in 1835, 'bound for America', and in 1836 shipped over from Liverpool to NY City. He soon after came to Newburgh NY to join his married brother James, who was operating a grocery. In 1838, on Christmas Day, he married Susan Clyde (181?-188?), a daughter of David Clyde, at the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in Newburgh. (In 1840, he was censused as "Achabad" Wiseman in Newburgh.) They became the parents of Elizabeth Wiseman (1842-1875), Samuel Dunlap Wiseman (1844-1917) and at least two other male siblings who grew to adulthood. In 1850, Archibald was censused as a "brewer", but in 1853, aboard ship somewhere, he "died at sea on May 9th.
