Anthony Wren

Anthony Wren
Born abt 1540 probably in England. I think he had brother's named William, Ralph, Roland, Francis, and Thomas because they show up in the IGI with children of their own in the same place/time. However, they could also be cousins
Married: UNKNOWN abt 1563. It is likely but not positive that one of their little girls was named after her so she could be Mary, Frances, or Jane

Charles Wren 1564-1621 Gertrude Thornhaugh abt 1570

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Binchester like this:

BINCHESTER, a township in St. Andrew-Auckland parish, Durham: on the river Wear, adjacent to the Weardale railway, 2 miles N by E of Bishop-Auckland. Acres, 500. Real property, with Newfield, £3,473,-of which £2,294 are in mines. Pop., 33. Houses, 5. The manor has belonged to the Wren family since the time of James I and their mansion on it, a venerable building with wings, appears to have been built about the beginning of that King's reign. A spot on the brow of an eminence, commanding an extensive view, and now enclosed and cultivated, was the Roman station Binovium or Vinovium, and has yielded a great variety of Roman relics. The extent of the station was probably about 30 acres. The Roman Watling-street passed either through it, or close on its western side.

In the Book: North Country Diaries by John Crawford Hodgson there is a reference to the family as the "Wrathful Wrens" by the Bishopric and that there was difficulty with the pedigree which was cleared up by a Mr. Farnham Burke (who had access to the original records preserved at Heralds College) and solves a problem caused by a book, Visitation of Durham, published in 1887 written by Mr. Joseph Foster.  However, the problem has not been solved.  I'm still unsure about Gertrude.  According to Foster, Gertrude daughter of Sir Charles Wren became a nun.  I originally gathered this information from Ancestral File.

George Trotter 1607 Gertrude Wren 1611

Here we go with controversy.  I found the original information for George's and Gertrude's christening in the Auckland St Andrew parish.  However, according to the Book North Country Diaries by JC Hodgson, Charles Wren's daughter Gertrude was a nun. 

Gertude Wren listed below might not be the right woman.  I need to find the original marriage record.  The fact I found both George and Gertrude together in the same Parish is a good and bad thing.  This information came from a Family Group Sheet if I remember right, so there is a likelihood that it is not correct.

William Trotter
Born Jun 1695 Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Married Hanna Maurle abt 1720 Pennsylvania
Children:  Rebecca, John, Esther, Lydia, Margaret, Joseph
Occupation: Farmer (they called it husbandman) in White Marsh, Philadelphia county, Minister
Died 19 Dec 1748 Plymouth, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“William Trotter was the son of William Trotter, and was born in the neighbourhood of Abington, fourth month, 1695. His memorial says: ‘Of religious parents, and amongst Friends was educated. As he grew in years, he was blessed in that he grew in grace, and in the fear and knowledge of our blessed Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. About the twenty-first year of his age, he received a gift in the ministry, in which he as frequently exercised during the course of his life. His ministry was sound and savoury, attended with a good degree of that life and power by which the dead are raised, and without which preaching is vain. He was not tedious or burthensome, but often very reaching and edifying to her hearers.’

“He removed to the neighbourhood of Plymouth, towards the close of 1721, taking a certificate from Abington to Gwynedd Monthly Meeting in the first month following. Here he soon became extensively useful in religious Society, and continued active and laborious for the good of others until within a short time of his death.

“His friends thus characterize him: ‘in his life and conversation he was grave, yet innocent, cheerful, and, we think, strictly just in his dealings; also a lover and promoter of peace and unity and brotherly love amongst Friends, of which he was himself a good pattern. He was generally beloved during his life, and at his death left a good savour behind him. His removal from time to a happy eternity, though certainly his great gain was a considerable loss to the meeting where he belonged. He departed this life on the 19th day of Tenth month, 1749; aged about 53 years and 6 months, and was decently interred on the 21st day of the same month, in Friends’ burying-ground at Plymouth. We believe he is gone from his laborious service, to receive an heavenly reward “where the wicked shall cease from troubling, and the weary soul shall be at rest.”’

Note:  there are several sources that claim she married John Ingles in 1737, inlcuding the book mentioned below, but there is a chance they are confusing her with her granddaughter.  Ruth Harmer, daughter of William, who married James Henry Ingles in 1737 and had children.  This Ruth would be 70 years old in 1737 - so, a marriage is possible but children aren't.  Perhaps John is the grandfather of James...more research is needed.

Abraham Browne 1730 Mary Trotter 1734

Abraham Browne
Born 23 Apr 1730 Plumstead, Bucks, Pennsylvania
Parents Joseph Browne and Ann Dawson
Religion:  Quaker
Note:  Abraham was disowned by the Quakers in 1756 when they charged him with "bearing arms in the war"  When a member's offense came to the attention of the Monthly Meeting which was not supposed to happen before one or more Friends had already admonished the offender without success, the meeting would appoint a committee (usually of two solid Friends) to ascertain the facts about the matter reported, and (if the member complained of was guilty) to learn whether he or she was repentant. It the individual did not seem contrite the visiting Friends would labor with him or her in meekness and brotherly compassion, hoping to bring the offender to sincere repentance. If this was successful the Friend would offer a written apology (often called an acknowledgment ) expressing that what he or she had done was contrary to the principles of Friends, that s/he was sorry for it and intended with God's help to behave better in the future. This was also referred to as condemning one's action. There was no shunning involved in disownment; familial and secular relationships continued as before. http://www.quaker.org/disown.html
