I am looking for info on an Eliza Wrenn/Renn. I also have her name as Martha Wren, Elizah Weren, and Mary Liza Renn.

She was married to a John H. Faulkner and had several children: Lula, Tellie, Charles Luther, Mary Elizah, Annie Bell, and John Henry. All of the names above are on the children's birth certificates so I am not sure which one is right. I have been given some possible info on her but have not been able to verify it and am hoping someone could.

I have her marriage date to John Faulkner as 14 Feb 1877.
I have her parents as James Henderson Renn from Warren Co. and her mother as Jackey Faulkner and they were married 19 Oct 1854 in Granville Co.

I have a US Census from 1900 for John Faulkner and all of the children are listed but Eliza is not. I am guessing that she passed before 1900.

If anyone could help, I would be greatful.

Thanks,
Farrah

I too am researching the Renn/Wrenn family in NC. I am nearly certain James H. Renn is my grandfather several times removed. As you may already know, he died in a prison camp in MD near the end of the Civil War. Please let me know if you have any information on James' or Jackey's parents. I will let you know if I come across anything on Eliza. By the way, I'm originally from Franklin County and have recently bought my retirement house near Henderson. Currently, I live near DC where I am stationed in the Air Force.

I am looking for the WRENN/WREN families of NC. Person County NC is where most of the WRENN/WRENs were born.

Early WREN/WRENN information is very hard to find.

I will be glad to give you any WRENN/WREN information that I have.

I have a James H Renn in my family line - son of Harmon Renn and Tabitha Beckham. I have James married to Jackey Faulkner.

I am also doing research on the WRENN families. Mine are from North Carolina. This WRENN family were living in Randolph County during the early years.

My Grandfather's parents were Thomas Jefferson WRENN and Mary F. Ryder. They were Living in Randolph County NC. My grandfather, Thomas Arthur WRENN moved his family to Guilford County and that is where they lived until their Deaths in 1948 and 1964. I have the names and birth dates of Grandpa's siblings and the same information about his and Dora's children and grandchildren.

I will be glad to share the information I have with you if we are the same family of Wrenns.

The James H. Renn, son of Harmon Renn and Tabitha Beckham was born c: 1809 in N.C. He was named in Harmons will which was dated 6 Mar 1825. This James H. Renn married Elizabeth "Betsy" Vaughn 6 May 1840 in Warren Co., N.C. The James Henderson Renn that married Jackey Faulkner was born c: 1833.
How are you related to Harmon? Can you give me some additional information and I'll see what I can add.
If you have any other ideas about who James Henderson Renn's parents might be, I sure would like to know. I am at a dead end with him.
