THANKS and the sharp-eyes award to Karen, Drew and Cindy, who all said

>> 1900 census, Pompey Town, Onondaga, NY. Page 112 (stamped number).
>> Ancestry "image 9 of 14."

>> Ancestry indexed it as KMARRY. The 2nd & 3rd letters seem clear, MA.

>> Also looked at Heritage Quest by searching for Abraham Wise, elsewhere
