Okay - I have my notes with me now. Here's what I have... Tabitha Beckham marries a Harmon Renn. They marry on 4/3/1806. This is on record with the Warren County Marriage Bonds. This is something that I myself have record of... Harmon's name is spelled Ren in the Warren County Records. Harmon is the son of Joseph and Nancy. For Zachariah Renn (Spelled Wrenn) I have a marriage to Elizabeth Pardue. This marriage took place on 12/28/1813. This is also from the Warren County Marriage Bonds. Zachariah is the son of Joseph and Nancy. I have Zachary Beckham marrying Martha Knight on the 13th of March 1804 - from the Warren County Marriage Bonds. I have a Martha Smith married to Archibald Brown Jr. on 12/15/1830 Green Renn (spelled Wren) is married to a Jane Worrell - Married on Jan 8, 1821. I have Green C. Renn (spelled Wren) married to Winnie Robertson on May 29,1832. Green Renn is the son of Joseph and Nancy, and it's believed that Green C. is the son of Zachariah and Elizabeth Pardue. Joseph Renn (spelled here Wren) is married to Nancey Maddry on 2/2/1782 - and he is at the top of my chart so far... Sally Wren marries John Beckham on 12/4/1818 and she's the daughter of Joseph. another Joseph Renn (also spelled Wren) is married to Clarasa Breedlove 1/16/1810. I believe that this Joseph who married Clarasa was possibly a Jr. I don't have anything to back that up with - but another woman working on my family genealogy says that Joseph Renn who was married to Nancy Maddry left Nancy as a widow when he died. Mentioned in Joseph Wren's will is son Green Wren, daughter Mary, daughter Susannah, wife - assumably Nancy, daughter Polly, son Zachariah, Zachariah's daughter Martha, Zachariahs daughter Ann, it would seem to mention Ann's daughter Elizabeth, Tabitha Ren, Harday Fortner, Mandy Renn, with Green Wren being the executor. Joseph's will mentions his wife several times, but he doesn't call her by name. However, again, someone else researching the family says that Nancy was Joseph's widow. The will was witnessed by Thomas M. Renn (son of Harmon and Tabitha). It was also witnessed by William Pardue (who I think is related to Elizabeth). Also some other names I haven't linked yet (at least I don't think I have) are - Joel Wren m. Cheney Mangrum 7/9/1803 Jas. Brown m. Elizabeth Renn 3/20/1801 Nancy Beckham m. John H. Brown 1/23/1849 Zearell Crowder m. Surphrone Renn 12/29/1857 Hardy Fortner m. Nancy Wren 12/1/1825 Henry Renn m. Elizabeth Robertson 10/3/1837 J. J. Renn m. Susan W. Twisdale 12/21/1865 James Renn m. Elizabeth Vaughan on 5/6/1840 James R. Renn m. Henrietta Alley on 12/19/1848 William G.E.Renn m. Delilah Bowden 2/16/1849 I had no findings for a Eunice Rachel Strong... But I don't have a copy of ALL the records of marriage bonds. I only made copies of those that were of interest to me... All of the records I have are from Warren/Bute counties... I don't have any records that I myself have gotten from Granville or Franklin counties, but I do know that these would probably tie in since the branch from Warren County moved to Granville County at some point... That's what I have, Hope it helps. Linda
