Eula Wren died June 20, 1989 Mrs. James Wren died March 6, 1902. I would bet that your Susan on the 1850 census is John Rameys daughter but should have been listed under the Wren name. Appears she came as a widow to Hugh Wren and stayed with her father. Hope this helps. Chuck ============================================
