Notes:

A Feb 1806 deed references Alexander Wren and a tract of land owned by Winnyfred Wren adjacent to George Wren. It seems like Alexander is likely another son. Also that Winnyfred is another daughter. The fact that she owns land on her own would imply that (a) she is of legal age (at least 14, I expect) and (b) her father likely has died and willed the land to her. Not sure how to square that with Betty's notes on the 1800 census.

Notes for William Wren (Betty Wren)

NOTE: William Wren was from the Cattail-Fountain Creek area of that part of Brunswick Co. VA that fell into Greensville Co. VA. No definitive evidence has been found to place him in a family. Wrens were in Brunswick in the early 1700's.

Wit: Jon Vinson, John Tomlinson & Richard Renn p 614. DB 6. NOTE:On p.616, DB 6,28 Jan 1761, Richard Renn buys from Nath. Perry of Granville Co NC.Wit: Jon Vinson, John Tomlinson & William Renn.

1776 DEED:Brunswicke Co VA, DB-12-197, John Dobie of SC sells land on Cattail Cr. Wit: Wm. Robinson Jr, Wm. Advent, William Wren. Proven 26 May 1777 by oaths of Wm. Robinson & William Wren.

NOTE:Those people noted as witnesses in Brunswick deeds were later found in Lancaster Co SC. This would lead one to believe that the William Wren in Brunswick Co VA was the same as one in Lancaster Co SC.

1780 DEED:Brunswick Co VA, DB 14, 21 Feb 1780, p8, William Wren & Mary his wife of Brunswick Co & Meherrin Pr. to Henry Mangum for 7,000 pounds 371 ac. Wit: Briggs Goodrich, William Robinson, John Camp & John Woodroof. Proved 27 Mar 1780. Land was on Carter's Creek bounded by Massey, Soloman, William Robinson Littleberry Robinson,William Peebles, John Collier.

1780 REV WAR: Wm Wren supplied 7 beef cattle for the troops of Gen Sumter. Recieved compensation 26 May 1788. NOTE: This would indicate that Wm Wren was in Lancaster by 1780 but no record of deeds for this time period exist. The first 54 pages of Lancaster DB-A are missing.

!1781 WITNESS: Greensville Co VA, WB-1-8, 6 Aug 1781-24 Jan 1782, will of John Tomlinson II, Wit: Wm. Sykes, Wm Tomlinson, Wm Wren. NOTE: Many of the people of Lancaster Co SC during the Rev War returned to their former homes in VA because of the terrible fighting in the Waxhaw area. [THE WAXHAWS, Pettus, p52.] This would account for Wm Wren having been in Greensville Co VA to witness the will of brother-in-law John Tomlinson II and account for Wm Wren to be on the 1783 tax list in Greensville Co VA.

1783 CENSUS: Greensville Co VA, State Census, William Wren , Susuanna Tomlinson, Catoe, Robinson, Massey, Vincents all citizens of Lancaster Co SC have returned to VA. Above.
