George S. Wren was born Sept. 11, 1819, in Montgomery County, Ky. His parents were Sanford and Eleanor Wren, natives of Virginia. They had a family of ten children, of whom six survive--Enoch S., John R., Thomas S., George S., Sarah A. and Anne R. Those deceased are--Andrew J., Richard W., Eliza and Lucinda. Our subject was reared to manhood in his native State. His father died when he was fifteen years old, and he was then thrown to his own resources. He was married Dec. 9, 1841, to Caroline Davis, who was born in November, 1821, a daughter of Benjamin E. and Nancy Davis, the father a native of Virginia, and the mother of Kentucky. To them have been born six children--Eliza A., Sarah F., William Z.T., Benjamin F., Mary E. and Ida J. In 1852 Mr. Wren came, with his wife and four children, to Eel River Township, this county, and bought 160 acres of land. He has since added forty acres to his original purchase and is now the owner of 200 acres of land, which he has gained by his own exertions. He has served his township as Trustee for two years. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and a true Democrat.
