James Wren was a notable architect and Justice of the Fairfax County Court in Virginia. He is often thought to be the great-grandson of English architect Christopher Wren, who designed St Paul's Cathedral in London. At various times in his life, James Wren was not only an architect, but also a builder, planter, sheriff and innkeeper. - AsNotedIn
