Some information has Wren as having married twice. The absence of marriage records to help me identify Rebecca Betsy Owens and/or Rebecca Neeley wives of Wren Grayson is a mystery.

In submitted, Family Data Collection Individual Records, her name is listed as Betsey Owens wife of Wren Grayson. In Tipton County, Indiana "Her Land and People" lists Betsy Owens as the wife of Wren Grayson and the mother of eight children. Her son Joseph's death certificate lists her name as Matilda Owens. Her son John Wren Grayson in his obituary states his mothers maiden name was Betsy Owens. In the 1850 Sandcreek, Decatur, Indiana census she is listed as Rebecca, wife of Wren.

Matilda Rebecca "Betsy" Owens married Wren Grayson in 1804 in Farm, Scott County, Kentucky. They had eight known children.
