"Taken from Confederate Soldiers of Louisiana, Library of Congress, 1976. Applied in 1915 for pension, widow applied in Nevada Co. AR after death, 16 Jan 1916. "Index to Ark. Confederate Pension Applications".


Looks like Dr. Wren filed for a Confederate Pension in Arkansas in 1915 and Georgia Wren applied as a widow in 1916.

Birth:
Tooke History records his birth as 15 Feb 1846.

Census:
In this census, it appears that there is an Augustus Wren, age 16, as well as a William A.D. Wren. Looks like W.A.D. Wren is him, but not sure who Augustus is. Perhaps, the confusion on the A.D. Wren later is really around this "Augustus".

Military:
Dr. A.D. Wren applied for a pension on 19 Aug 1915 (along with John W. Hudson and John W. Gann). Veteran # 24686. Georgia Wren applied for a widow's pension on 18 Jan 1916. It seems unlikely that she received her pension, not being indigent.

Residence:
Deed from James J Vickers Jr notes that A D Wren was a resident of Bienville when he purchased the land. This must have been the precursor for his move into Arkansas and the genesis of his old homeplace.

Another Fire
Prescott, October 28 -
The barn of Dr. A.D. Wren, a prominent citizen of Albany Township living eight or ten miles south of Prescott, was burned yesterday together with all his corn (500 bushels) and between 4,000 and 5,000 bundles of fodder.

The fire is believed to have been incendiary in origin. The Doctor and all his family were in Prescott except his son Willard who went to the neighboring Postoffice after dinner leaving no one at home. There was no insurance.

Dr. Wren lives near the edge of the cyclone district that had all its crop prospect destroyed last spring and he was very active at that time in efforts to relieve the sufferers. He is a foremost citizen, a prominent Democrat, and wields an influence in his neighborhood.

Respectfully, E.R.A.

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.

NOTE:This census Lists James Vickers as 60 with Nancy 49, Bettie 24, Sam 20 and M.J. 15. These names don't reflect other census records so doubt it is the same James Vickers.

NOTE: Although James J.Vickers, Sr. was living in Arkansas in 1880's he may be buried in LA. TOOKE HISTORY, p. 190 alludes to this fact. A Vickers cemetery is reported to have been west of Ringold, LA. The cemetery is now over grown & no attempt was made to search it. A Librarian at Ringold, LA said she had been to it at one time. A search of Hempstead Co., AR cemeteries was made with no results. His sister Eliza Vickers Snell is buried at cemetery in Emmet, AR,SE of HWY 67.

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

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

Possessions:
Herod Bridges is taxed for 8 1/2 polls, 520 acres 3rd class land along Rocky Creek. Tax due $1.65

Herod married Margaret Ware in 1812 in Greene, Georgia, United States. Margaret (daughter of Thomas Ware and Mary Sarah Jimerson) was born about 1797 in Lincoln, Georgia, United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

From at least 1809 until his move to Florida, Hardy Vickers lived in Wilkinson County, Georgia, the part of which became Pulaski County. It looks like he still owned land in Georgia even at the time of his death.

Birth:
Some sources say that Hardy Nixon Vickers was born in North Carolina and moved to Georgia at an early age. Other sources say he was born in Georgia. I am tempted to believe that he was born in North Carolina only because of the extensive migration into newly opened areas of northeast Georgia around that time.

Name:
Some researchers, including Betty Wren, have suggested that Hardy Vickers had a middle name, Nixon. I am less inclined to believe this at present, since this was actually a name in his wife's family rather than his.

Probate:
Probate was opened 27 Nov 1833. It would take 25 years to complete. The probate file exceeds 220 pages.

James J. Vickers, Sarah Hart, and Wm. W. Hart are listed as executors.

One early document is an inventory account dated 1833 that starts 11 Feb 1833. This would hint that Hardy died prior to this. Then, there is an accounting that is dated 1832 that includes dates throughout that year as well.

But there are signed receipts from 1833 by Hardy Vickers. So, maybe the accounting is a list of debts and tabs with vendors that were open.

Notes:

It appears that A.B. Shehee was born in Maryland, but his family moved to middle Georgia before he married (maybe). I had thought that his parents stayed behind and that he moved after he married, but newspaper notices place him and his parents in Washington County by 1817.

I think he was elected to the state General Assembly but only served a couple of years. By 1830, he had moved to south Georgia near Valdosta in Lowndes county. And then shortly moved into north Florida, Jefferson County, near Aucilla.

I have seen an account that he died in Decatur county, GA (Bainbridge). I have not proved that, but he may have owned land there.

Notes from Ancestry - lyrical516

On the road to Ashville, fifteen miles from Monticello, lies one of the beauty spots of Jefferson County. The name, Glendower, was given to this plantation by John Finlayson, whose father was Daniel Finlayson from Scotland, who, when a boy of eighteen years, came to America in 1800. Daniel settled in South Carolina and married Christiana McRae, also a native of Scotland, whose family had emigrated to America. In 1810, his oldest son, John, was born. In 1818, the family moved to Telfair County, Georgia, near Cape Fear River, and Daniel turned his attention to farming, especially stock-raising, and was noted for his neatness in the management of his farm. He died very soon after settling in Georgia. His wife was a religious woman, of great physical energy and intellectual vigor. She was very ambitious to have her three children educated. They attended school in a primitive log structure, and, though the instruction gained there may have contributed to their knowledge, it could not compare to the intellectual acquirements gained at their own fireside. In the planting season, John helped with the labors of the farm, and during the rest of the year, he attended school. He was as full of ambitious plans, as his mother, and at fifteen years of age, he took charge of a small school, which he taught long enough to discover his inaptitude for teaching. His next venture was in the mercantile business. By 1829 he had a business of his own, and in ten years he was worth thirty five thousand dollars. He had always cherished a desire to be a planter, and in 1839 he possessed the requisite amount to purchase a plantation, and chose Florida as his future home.

He bought a fine tract of land, a sufficient number of slaves and implements to do the laborious work, thus beginning to realize the fulfillment of his hopes. In 1842, he married Florida Augusta Shehee, a daughter of a very early settler of Jefferson County, Judge A. B. Shehee. A most attractive home was built, beautified by the wonderful setting of moss-draped live oaks, and other native trees. The interior sheltered graceful pieces of antique furniture and exquisite oil portraits of his five children; John Jr., Augusta, Mary, Virginia and Daniel Aylesbury.

Birth:
US and International Marriage Records says Alyesberry was born in 1795 in Georgia.

Certainly, the family came to Georgia from Maryland, but where was he born? I need to prove them in Maryland and track the migration to Georgia.

Military:
While this is an uncommon name, I need to see where this unit was mustered in and whether this is the right Aylesbury Shehee.

Probate:
The sheriff sells property of the estate of A.B. Shehee to William I Bailey of Jefferson County. A.B. Shehee had entered into a contract to sell the land before he died. Since there was a balance still due, the land had to be sold to pay the balance.

Died:
James J Vickers, John Finlayson, Henry D. Shehee sold land to Louvisa W Shehee and Thomas J Shehee. All apparently heirs of A.B. Shehee deceased.
For $5 and natural love and affection.
Two lots of land lying in the 14th district originally Early Co now Decatur Co
all of lot 201 (250 acres), and north half of fractional lot 242 containing 112 1/2 acres.
Louvisa to enjoy the land during her natural life and at her death, it will fall to the heirs of Thomas J Shehee

A.B. Shehee paid property tax early in 1848 and his property was sold in November, so he likely died in the fall of the year.

Aylesbury married Leovisa W. in 1820. Leovisa was born in 1798 in Georgia, United States; died in 1855–1860 in Decatur, Georgia, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Died:
I am unable to find any census record for any of this family in the 1860 census. That being said, I do find Henry, with whom Leovisa lived, in 1870 without her. Unless she is living with other family in 1860 or 1870, I believe that she died between 1855 and 1860. I also believe that this is around the time that Henry decides to move. He ends up in Louisiana near some of his sister's family.

Notes:

Married:
Marriage is announced in the Southern Christian Advocate.
But, a marriage of 1820 is too late for the children.
