While the first actual record of him living in Baltimore was found in 1835, his wife and eldest child (born circa 1830) were born in MD.

Starting in 1833 and through the rest of his life, he is shown to be a piano or piano forte maker. By 1842, he partnered with his brother John J. in his business (John J. Wise & Brother). This partnership was still in tact as of 1856. McKeel continued this trade until very late in life after he moved to Brooklyn. The value of his personal estate as listed in the 1860 Census was sizeable ($20,000). This is far greater than that of his older brother ($4,000), who shared the same occupation.

Wise, Tully R. Wise, Tabitha L. Wise & Elizabeth A. Wise orphans of McKeel Wise.³ He married Lucinda Wells on 18 November 1832 at Baltimore, MD. The connection was made that he was the father of Elizabeth Wells Wise, based on the contents of 1850 Census, listing Elizabeth as age 16, which matches her age based on her birth date contained in the Bible of McKeel Wise. Another pair of documents supporting this connection are from county court and church records stating that Tully R. Wise married Lucinda Wells at the Methodist Episcopal Church (Baltimore City Station). This is the same denomination as was seen on the 2 prayer cards found in the Bible of McKeel Wise for Elizabeth Wells Wise. Also, supporting this connection is the match of Elizabeth's middle name with the maiden name of Tully's wife (Wells).
.² Tully died after 1850 at Baltimore, MD.²
