Deeds in Waxhaw Settlement refer to the wagon road there as being the state line. So, Waxhaw abuts the North Carolina line. Likewise, Twelve Mile Creek looks like it quickly flows into Mecklenburg Co., NC

Deeds here include deeds involving Andrew Jackson

!MILITARY:SC REVOLUTIONARY WAR CLAIMS, AUDITED ACCT.

Military:
According to the Audited Accounts of the State of South Carolina, Mr. George Wren received 7 L 14 S 3 P for militia service in 1780 pursuant to an act of the General Assembly passed the 16th of March 1783. He was paid 9 XXXX 1785. He signed for his pay with his mark.

In 1791, he petitioned for his brother Theodore's back pay as well to the House of Representatives.

A committee of the House investigated this and determined that indeed Theodore did die in the service to the state during the Revolution and George Wren should receive his pay. So, this document provides proof of both George & Theodore's service.

Census:
Enumeration: 102, total household 3
This would imply that the family consists of George, Alletha, and a daughter. it also implies that George and Alletha are married by 1790 and that that daughter has likely died since none of the other children is that old.

Additionally, George is listed just a couple of houses away from Jno Tomlinson

Notes:

From Maryland.
Could have been a Dorsey.

Died:
Geo Wren remarried by 1810, Lancaster,SC, Estate of Archiball Kimbal (Betty Wren)

Notes:

Married:
The international marriage index lists this as 1798. Clearly, it has to be by 3 Mar 1798 when the oldest child is born. But since there are 2 women listed in the 1790 census, I feel like this is mostly likely just before that census. Probably around 1788.
