Census |
15 Sep 1850 |
Putnam, Georgia, United States [13] |
- 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".

- Almost every state exchange we pick up contains one or more notices of this character which we clip from the Prescott Picayune. They are unmistakable evidences that the Democrat is the people's paper: "Dr. A.D. Wren. a practical farmer, and one of the most prominent physicians in Albany Township, favored us with a call Thursday, and left the cash for the Picayune and the Arkansas Weekly Democrat.",

barn was burned |
- 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.
