Lincoln for th Defense by Norman Rockwell - Clarissa was born on 1809/1810
Abraham Lincoln came to Peoria in 1844 to get involved in her sensational divorce case.
Her first husband Aquilla Wren, former county commissioner,
merchant and real estate owner was granted a decree after a finding by a jury that his wife
Clarissa (Jones) Wren had been guilty of misconduct.
Lincoln seems to have come into the case late in the term of court when he assisted
Elihu H. Powell and William F. Bryan in their efforts to obtain a new trial.
