My oldest found RENSHAW ancestor is my gg grandfather William Thomas RENSHAW. Family legend has it that his brother Henry was a minister and William Thomas RENSHAW's son Charles was a minister also. All of these people were born in Maryland. Family legend has it that Henry RENSHAW lived in Baltimore, Maryland. I have found William Thomas and his children in the 1880 census for Wicomico County, Maryland. He married Martha Ann EDWARDS of Virginia. I have an inkling he met her during the Civil War in Virginia. The family all eventually settled in the Petersburg, Virginia area. There are probably 6 or 7 generations living is the same area of Peterburg, although most have moved to many places in the US. This is what I have for the first three generations. Maybe someone will some day recognize these names: Descendants of William Thomas Renshaw 1 William Thomas Renshaw 1834 - .. +Martha Ann Edwards 1844 - ........ 2 Hester Renshaw 1862 - ............ +Samuel Taylor ........ 2 [6] William James Renshaw I 1863 - 1925 ............ +Susan E.
