"The Wiseman's were settled in Dorchester parish in Westmorland County - in the day a direct road went from Dorchester to Shediac as Dorchester was the county seat at the time, so there was much too and fro - which is no doubt why two Donovans married two Wisemans. Daniel Donovan married Mary Wiseman and his sister, Mary married Mary Wiseman's brother John Wiseman, a shoemaker, in Dorchester parish."
