Wren Kin
My goal is to create a Wren/Wrenn/Ren/Renn database and stuff it full of all the vital records, family group sheets, etc. that we can gather.
Until that day comes, we’ll work with this temporary index. At present it only contains marriages from a few counties in Kentucky and Tennessee from the following sources:
- Carroll County, TN marriages, 1860-1873, Byron Sistler, Barbara Sistler, Nashville, Tennessee, 1988.
- Dodd, Jordan. Kentucky Marriages, 1802-1850 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: MyFamily.com, Inc., 1997. Original data: Electronic transcription of marriage records held by the individual counties in Kentucky.
- Marriages of Maury County, Tennessee, 1808-1852, compiled by Edythe Rucker Whitley, with an Index by Judith McGhan, Baltimore, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1982
- Warren County, Kentucky marriages, 1797-1851 : from the original marriage bonds and consents, by Helen Thomas, Mary Rabold, Elizabeth Price, Bowling Green, Ky. c1970.
- Marriages of Gibson County, Tennessee, 1824-1860, compiled by Edythe Johns Rucker Whitley, with an index by Judith McGhan, Baltimore, Genealogical Pub. Co., 1982.
If you have any marriages (or other records) you’d like to add to this database, or if you have family group sheets for any of these families, please contact me or leave a comment.
Thanks!

Hello,
There is a family cemetery not far from my house here in
Bowling Green (Warren county) Ky. The majority of the
headstone bare the name Wren. Some of these are:
Margaret Wren (Daughter of J&J Wren) Born 4/7/1829 Died
8/1/1854
Joseph Wren Born 7/10/1794 Died 7/29/1854
Interesting they died within a few days of each other??
Jane Wren Born 2/29/1796 Died 7/17/1851
Others:
Elizabeth H. Campbell (Wife of WS Campbell) Born Jan 1823 died Sept 1864
Rachel Haans (Consort of A. Haans) Born 1760 Died 1816
If you have any info about these folks feel free to share it. My daughter (11) and myself would enjoy learning more.
Sincerely,
Steve Stinson
Steve, I’m sorry I did not see this earlier.
According to the Kentucky Death Records (available via Ancestry.com), these unfortunate family members all died of the “flux”. Joseph Wren is listed as being born in South Carolina, the son of “S & _ Wren”. Jane was born in Pennsylvania and the daughter of “A & Rachel Evans”.
We have this family listed in our database.
Again, my apologies for not seeing this sooner.
