Notes for Sarah Bridges

NOTE: The following two letters were written by Sarah Bridges Wren when she was in her nineties. The first was written in 1903 to Georgia Vickers Wren the wife of Sarah's son Dr. Alonzo George Wren. The envelope is missing but she writes... To Georgia Wren. Dear Daughter I send you this little history of my life which I have hastely writen,it is short and meager but I don't suppose that anyone would be interested in much that I could tell although I have seen a good deal of this world. with love I remain your mother Sarah Wren. Page 1. I was born in Green County GA the 17th of April 1813. went into Morgan Co where we lived until I was 6 years old, when I was carried to Putnam Co where I grew to womanhood. Was converted and joined the Methodist church in July 1828 was married the 7th Sept the same year to G. W. Wren of South Carolina. We settled in GA where we remained until 1850 when we removed to Louisiana in Jan 1851 where Mr. Wren died in Augt 29th 1884 and where 5 of our 8 children have died. I was Gloriously sanctified at the Rock Springs camp meeting in Putnam Co, GA in 1849 which bless the good Lord I still claim and hold on to____has always been very merciful and good to me and has given special answers to prayer. My blessed Lord has watched over me now for 90 years & 6 months and nere denied me one blessing that was best for me to have..he has given me good friends everywhere I go, and never permitted any serious harm to befall me. I feel that his abiding care has always been with me and in me to help and comfort me and now in my old age and infirmities he has not forsaken me, but gives me abiding witness of his Holy spirit to comfort and sustain me Glory to his name NOTE: The original letter is owned by Scott Dickson, Roswell, GA. The letter passed to him on the death of Norvelle Wren, Sept 1996,Prescott, AR. Scott was Norvelle's gt-nephew and Norvelle was gt-grandaughter of Sarah B. Wren.

The second letter....on envelope Mrs. Atticus Wren, Slaughter,Louisiana...post mark...Uvalde, Tex. Jun 24, 3pm, 1910. 1. Uvalde,Texas, Mrs. Agnes Wren dear grand daughter. I have been wanting to write to you for a long time but have put it off from time to time to feel well enough but I believe I get further from it instead of better and the truth is I am ashamed for anyone to see my writing because I can't read it myself after writing it. All the family think me better at least they talk that way, but I know my own feelings lest I and am not able to get around much have to be helped in and out at doors when I get out and when I..2..and when I ride which I seldom do I have tobe helped in and out of the carriage. all the family except Cecile Myers and myself are gone to plase on the river to give Mattie D. Orndorff and the children a outting while they are here. they have been here since the 9th of this month. Seth did not come with them but sent them with one of their neighbors who coming this way. you would be astonished to see how large Mattie D has grown and fine looking her children are. the oldest one is a little girl named Ruth Allis the boy's large named for this father....3...Seth Beauford Orndorff. Seth is still working and trading and going ahead. I don't know where he will end but he is a stiring man sure roling. Wren has his new house done we are in it comfortably fixed up with lots of ground chickens to eat but Mattie fell down directly we moved here from getting one foot hung in some wire which was both ends buried inthe ground and loose in the middle she was hurt so bad that she has not been able in 3 months but she is a little better now...4..she suffered a sore mouth for a good while..could not do anything to hardly keep up but all is a little better now though not well. Mattie D thinks she will stay only one month if that some of the family will go home with her to help her with the children. I am broke down and must close. I hope you will write soon and give me all the news. I am nearly blind but still scratch a little to my loved ones. I close with many kisses to Atticus and the children from your grandmother Sarah Wren. The original copy of this letter was in the possession of Inez Wren Dupris, daughter of Atticus Wren. It is now owned by Wren Dupris, Port Arthur, TX. Wren is gt-grandson of GLP Wren.

!MARR-2: 17 Mar 1813, Lancaster Co SC, Roll 18, George Wren & wife administrators of Archiball Kimball. George Wren married to widow Elizabeth Kimball & became guardian for her children

!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.

Notes:

Who is Thomas Bridges? A brother, father, other? Found in Greene County at the same time as Herod.


Does not appear in the 1817 Putnam Co., Georgia tax list

Does not appear in the 1820 Putnam Co., Georgia tax list

Does not appear in the 1852 Putnam Co., Georgia tax list - probably moved to Louisiana in 1851

Putnam county tax lists for 1817, 1820, 1824, 1830-1833, 1836-1839, and 1852 checked.

Why do I think that Herod & Margaret were married in Greene County?

Residence:
Interestingly, Herod bridges is just one page away from Lewis Deshazo. And John Tomlinson, clearly a relative of Mary Tomlinson Wren, is the captain.

Misc:
State of Georgia, Putnam County. This is to notify those to whom it may concern that I, Herod Bridges, did on the 12th day of February, 1820, loose from my pocket a book containing the following notes: On Joseph Parks of Morgan County, sixteen $25.00 notes.. one note on Locklin Johnston of Putnam County for $16.00... one on Edward Gallin of Morgan County for $12.00 ... one note on John Ward of Greene County for $17.00 ... one on Sion Hudson of Morgan County for $14.00 ... all persons are forewarned against tradin for the above described notes... (signed) Herod Bridges. Sworn to and subscribed before me, one of the acting Justices of Putnam County. (signed) B. Williams, J.P.

Census:
Enumeration - 10001-301, Slaves 0

Herod Bridges is in the same district as William K Deshazo. Mom's family and Dad's family are neighbors in 1820.

Possessions:
Herod Bridges paid 2 polls, had 105 acres of 2nd quality land in Putnam County on Rocky Creek and 202 1/2 acres of pine land in Houston County in the 14th district, lot number 91. The Houston county land looks like it could be a land lottery lot.

Possessions:
Witnessed by G.W. Wren

Census:
Enumerated as 211001-111101-121-0011-Total 16

Residence:
Herod Bridges is taxed for 5 polls, 300 acres 3rd class land along Rocky Creek. Total Due $1.93 3/4

5 polls indicates that he must have 4 slaves.

Possessions:
This appears to be a case where Herod Bridges sold land to McCarroll Penifoy and then bought it back from the estate of Mc. Penifoy's father William the same day. Perhaps it was a land exchange with the estate - like for like. The descriptions of the property are similar and along the same waterway.

Possessions:
This appears to be the 2nd half of a land exchange.

Residence:
Herod Bridges is taxed for 8 polls, 300 acres 3rd class land along Rocky Creek. Tax due: $2.15 3/4

8 polls indicates that he owned 7 slaves

Residence:
Herod Bridges is taxed for 11 1/2 polls, 300 acres 3rd class land along Rocky Creek. 11 1/2 polls indicates that he owns 10 slaves. I am not sure what the 1/2 poll indicates.

Residence:
Herod Bridges is taxed for 12 1/2 polls, 300 acres 3rd class land along Rocky Creek. Tax due: $2.14

Possessions:
Herod Bridges is taxed for 11 1/2 polls, 700 acres 3rd class land along Harrikin Branch, adjoining Pounds. Tax due: $2.27 1/2
