Wren
|
Smith states that the Wren family in county Kerry were descended from a Cromwellian adventurer named Thomas Wren, who settled in Kerry. Leslie Wren was the lessor of several townlands in the parish of Kilcolman, barony of Trughanacmy, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Alicia Wren held townlands in the parish of Aghavallen, barony of Iraghticonnor at the same time. The Ordnance Survey Name Books note that John Wren of Litter was leasing these townlands from the Blacker estate in the 1830s. Leslie Wren's estate in county Kerry amounted to over 2400 acres in the 1870s.
