In trying to sort out the Wren’s of Fairfax, Col. James and Co. Thomas are giving me problems.

From the records in Fairfax and Loundon Counties we find the following people:

Col Thomas Wren b.1703 d.1768 mar. Jean or Jane ????? Lancaster County

Ch. Nicholas b.1831 d.1809 mar. Elizabeth Jenkins

William Carter b.1735 d.1817 mar Mary Tomlinson

John b. 1737 d.1815 mar.Elizabeth

Traverse(Travis) b.1739

Isaac b.1741 d. 1773

Winfred b.1730 d.? mar. John Ethel(Athill)

Ann(Betty) b.1739 d.after 1768 mar. John Talbert

Mary b.? d. after 1768



Col. James Wren b.1728 d. 1815 mar. Catherine Brent

Ch. Catherine b. 1760 d. 1835 Simon Adams

Elizabeth b. 1746 d. 1800

Hannah b.1759 d. 1823

John b.?? d.1815

James Nicholas b.1758 d.1820 mar. Elizabeth Gunnell

John S. b.1766 d. 1821 mar. Sarah s, Hite

Sarah b.1768 d. 1832 mar. Nathaniel Talbott

Mary b. 1814 d. 1814



Now in adjacent Loudon County we find in deed records

James Wren witness deed in 1773. This would make hin only 15yre. old. Too young to wit. A deed

Thomas of Fairfax leased 200 ac. 1774. Col. Thomas died in 1768, with no son Thomas.

Isaac witness deed in Loudon in 1776, but we think he died in 1773.

A Thomas and Susanna Wren of Loudon leased 188 ac. In 1778. WHO ARE THEY

John and Hannah purchased 61 ac. in Loudon in 1790 WHO ARE THEY

John and Thomas are listed as merchants in 1794 WHO ARE THEY
