452	A 3 year old child, Jackson Ware, is enumerated with this family. Could be a late in life son or a grandson.	McClosky, Nancy A. (I4524)
453	A D Wren to Arkansas Finance Co 25 Feb 1889, filed 27 Feb 1889 Trust Deed, Book 32, p. 9 Sec 33, T 12, R 22	Wren, Alonzo Dossey (I6659)
454	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. 1760 DEED: Brunswick Co VA, 23 May 1760, Thomas Tomlinson to Wm. Ezell. Wit: William Wren, Wm.

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.

458	A lot of Wren family notes say he died as an infant. However, Find a Grave shows a tombstone with a death date of 1867. Can't see a good image of it to tell one way or another.

485	According to a deed dated 8 Feb 1828, Solomon Bridges was already deceased and had been living in Oglethorpe County. A piece of land he owned in Putnam County was sold at auction to John Dupree. Notice was published in November 1824 in the Georgia Journal announcing the sale. He must have been dead before that. Another sale happened in 1827. Possibly that could be for his widow. "Agreeable to an order of the Court of Ordinary of Oglethorpe County, will be sold at the courthouse in Putnam County, on the 1st Tuesday in January next, one tract of land, No. 325, situated in the 2d district formerly Baldwin now Putnam County.

486	According to Bible records collected by Merritt Graves from Alex Cooper Cason III, Alexander Vincent and Sophia/Saffira had 8 children. The DAR papers for Juanita Martha Alexander Hunter indicate that Alexander Vincent was born about 1744 and died in 1808 in Murfreesboro, Rutherford Co., TN. Alexander Vincent signed the Oath of Allegiance in 1778 in Granville Co., NC. He received 9 pounds specie according to report number 84 (undated, report no. 83 was dated July 1873, report no. 85 was dated 1 May 1784). Alexander Vincent is shows holding 640 acres in Granville Co., NC on page 32 of A. Pruitt's Abstracts of Land Entries, Granville County, NC 1778-1877 Alexander was call Sander in the family Bible. Alexander and Seffira had four sons whose names are known, plus an unknown son and five daughters. All of their children were born in Granville Co, NC according to the family Bible.	Vincent, Alexander (I6261)
487	According to Bible records, John emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1738. Moved to Maryland and then to North Carolina before his death. "Colonel John Dickson, born in Ireland, came to America about the year 1736 and located in Chester Co., Pennsylvania, where he lived for a few years. He then lived for a short time in Maryland and located permanently in Duplin (then New Hanover) Co., North Carolina, about the year 1744. [James O. Carr published this same information in 1901 and 1933.] His home place was on Elder, a branch of Maxwell Creek, and was purchased by him in two or more tracts from Captain Archibald Douglass, of the Kingdom of Great Britain and others. His land on Goshen, where he had lived for a short time, was sold to Capt. Joseph Grimes. Colonel Dickson was a merchant. He was well educated. His handwriting among the old records is a model of excellence. " When the county of Duplin was formed from New Hanover in the year 1749, Colonel John Sampson became the first Register (now Register of Deeds), but on account of the excellence of Colonel Dickson's handwriting, the duties of that office were performed by him as the deputy Register. During the year 1751 he became Clerk of the County Court and served through the year 1762. At the same time he served as county Register from 1753 to 1762. He was a member of the Colonial Assembly in the year 1762 and a militia officer for many years. "Colonel Dickson died at his home on Elder, Christmas Day 1774, leaving a large and prominent family. . . The maiden name of his wife, or wives cannot now be given. Apparently, he was married twice. Two children were born in Ireland and the third child was born in Chester Co., Pennsylvania several years later than the first and second. Evidently two children born in Ireland were by a first wife and all others by a second wife. "	Dickson, Col. John Sr. (I8183)
488	According to Cindy Casey and her extensive research on her web site,John Ussery might have been born around 1718, arrived in Baltimore inthe 1730's and died in 1784.	Ussery, John (I6152)
489	According to Connie Lampallo, Jordaine is pronounced Jordan in thisbranch of the family.	Jordaine, Joan (I4019)
490	According to Ed Dunn, despite extensive research, the identity of the progenitor of this line in America has not been identified. The relationship between his children has been verified, however.	Bressie (I1173)
491	According to Elieen Maynard1 on Familysearch, Ezekiel Biggers, a private in the 27th MS Reg't in the Confederate Army, was captured in Nashville, TN on 16 Dec 1864 and died in prison in 5 Jan 1865 as a prisoner of war.	Biggers, Ezekiel O. (I904)
492	According to Find A Grave, Don had no middle name on his birth certificate, even though he sometimes was called Ray.	Bailey, Donald (I588)
493	According to FindaGrave, his name was Thomas Brace Bailey. This could well be since his grandmother was a Bressie / Bracey.	Bailey, Thomas B. (I690)
494	According to Granddad, married first to a Bailey and then to a Garner,neither related to the rest of the family of Bailey's or Garner's.Mother of Ersie, Ruel, Suel, Lessie. Ruel & Suel are twins. According to her mother's obituary, she is listed as Myrtle Hyatt,indicating an additional marriage. Hames Heritage says she wasmarried to Tom Bailey, then Mack Garner.	Hames, Fannie Myrtle (I3241)
495	According to her birth record, Edna's parents where Charles F and Cora S. Hooper Ross. He was a box maker from Boston and she was a native of Whitman.	Ross, Edna Mae (I5411)
496	According to her daughter's 1910 census enumeration, she was born in Alabama. However the other census records all record her as from Georgia. Perhaps a way to track her down is to find families in 1840 in Cobb or Paulding County, Georgia that she could fit into that are near to Smith families where Thomas would fit. N5 Backtracking with Millie Allen, we know the following: Burial - 1893, Paulding County, Georgia Death - 1893, Paulding County, Georgia Residence - 1860-1893, Paulding County, Georgia Marriage 3 - 1865, Paulding County, Georgia Residence - 1850, Cherokee Co, Alabama Marriage 2 - before 1848 birth of her child, probably AL Birth of Rhoda - 1844 - AL Marriage 1 - before 1843 birth of her child, GA or AL Birth - about 1821, probably GA So, as a hypothesis, Millie was born in GA around 1821. She married Thomas Smith around 1843 in Georgia. I suspect that they moved to Alabama, probably Cherokee County area. He died shortly afterward, probably without a will since he was likely very young and without property. Though having a daughter, there may have been a guardian appointed. But again, without property, perhaps not. Millie likely remarried fairly quickly, being young and with a child, to James Armer. He was a little older and had lost his wife and had young children to raise who needed a mother. He died after only a few years as well. Somehow, she ended up moving back to Paulding County, Georgia. What was the attraction back to Paulding and how did she end up there? Did she come alone? Possibly, Millie and her family moved to Alabama and she married Thomas there, since Rhoda always reports that her father was from Alabama.	Allen, Millie (I158)
497	According to her son, Gill, Lois had five husbands. I have seen records of her death in Hayward CA, as well as San Leandro CA.	Wilson, Lois Rebecca (I6577)
498	According to his daughter, Peter Bailey was awarded a private pension from the US House of Representatives. There is a record that he petitioned to be restored to the pension roll during the 25th Congress (March 1837-March 1839) during its second session. This was referred to the committee on Revolutionary Pensions and is recorded as a Petition on Journal Page 271 for the 25th Congress, 2nd session.	Bailey, Peter Cock (I660)
499	According to his headstone request, Griff enlisted 15 Aug 1917 and was discharged 26 May 1919. He served as a 2nd Lt. in the U.S. Army. 334 FA, 162 FA, 107 FA, 28 Div	Lee, Griff Calicutt (I4255)
500	According to his obituary, Charlie moved to Eunice in 1949 and lived there until his death.	Hudson, Charlie Doyle (I3732)
