Mary names Anna Wiseley as her daughter and Freeling as her son in her 1868 will. But the 1850 census shows: Ann Wisley F 33 Virginia, Freeling Wisley M 21 Virginia, Polly Wisley F 19 Virginia. Polly Wisely married in 1854 so she doesn't show up with Peter and Mary Wisely in the 1860 census.
In the 1860 and 1870 census there are 2 children below Ann Wisely and Freeland, so assuming Ann is married to Freeling? Freeling is deceased in 1875 so no 1880 census.
