I received this letter in July 1982 I not sure if the person is still around. I retyped the letter as I having problem ;when I scanned and try to send ,came out incomplete .so .May be some info will help some one. She (Virginia R.Lawrence) writes: I have considerable data on the Maryland Renshaw's and my father once told me his people came from PA.Both his lines were in PA. The Phillips are everywhere. My line is JOHN PERRY RENSHAW b.1831/32 in Wilson Co.,TN. d 18 July 1863 Lake Providence Regimental Hospital,Lake Providence,LA.Union Army. John Perry was a brother to Elijah Simpson Renshaw which is Charles Dixon Renshaw's line.I can't seen to get out of TN.--Wilson Co. My other lines are Aplin,Alliston/Aliston(part Cherokee?), Carr,psbly Dine/VanDwyne,Cowsert,Newton,Phillips. I am enclosing a copy of an ancestor chart I prepared form the D.A.R. data on Lt.Thomas Renshaw(Rev.War).Since it covers both PA & WV.The data was submitted by Florence L. Renshaw Switzer,wife of James Donald Switzer,200 Euclid Ave.,Clarksburg,WV.This data was submitted prior to Mrs. Switzer's application for membership in the D.A.R. by Florence Renshaw Bowden(Natioal Member #178003), 84"V" St,,NW.Washington,DC. Also I compiled and publish a booklet of material I purchased when I first started my Renshaw medical research,turned out tobe total research as you can't do medical research without knowing who your ancestors were.This particular data was researched by Elizabeth Price Renshaw ,Born 1893 to Alfred Howard Renshaw and Lucy Jennings,probably in NY.state as he was born on Staten Island and her mother was buried at Troy,NY.in 1896.Alfred remarried to Lucy Braxton Hopkins probably of the Stephen Hopkins clan of the Mayflower and signer of the Compact. Don't know where/when Alfred died. I found thisbook of charts and loose notes in a MD genealogy book store. There was John Renshaw b.1798 Washington Co.,PA. married in Chillicothe.OH.-d. Madison Co.,IL. who had a son , John Webster Renshaw,b.in Madison Co.,IL. d.1903,in St.Clair Co.,IL. One was police magistrate in St.Louis(East St.Louis), one aMorrison, was a newspaper man. John Webster's son, John Winstanley Renshaw b 1877,St.Clair Co.,IL. d 1944 St.Louis.. Son of John Winstanley, John W. Renshaw,lives in Palmdale,CA Presently ,I am typing a final draft on an 83 page book about a bunch of Renshaw"s who were in various parts of England, dating back to 1400's .At least one of those mentioned in the book is thought to have migrated to the US and settled at Long Branch,NJ.. Some of this line descendants(Henry and wife Mary) were in New Orleans in 1850. Some went to South America and married into Spanish family,-was Ambassader or Consul General for US in Venezuela.Those Renshaw's were wealthy.-- A book was written by Walter Charles Renshaw of England and published in London in 1898. He gave 40 copies as gifts and did not distribute any others..The Mormon Library at Salt Lake City filmed it.I ordered through the Mormon Genealogy Library. It is very slow ,tedious project as written in Old English,some printed some handwritten. Oh yes here is what he sez,"A WilliamRenshaw who is stated to have been born in London May 1771,emigrated to America in August 8104 and died at Longbranch,USA 14 March 1824. For miscellaneous data,--David Renshaw,M.D.,Psychiatrist,in practice in Santa Barbara,CA.Has a brother Edward.

A Dr.William Renshaw of TN. married Sarah Barnes Worthington,relocated to Texas from TN. ,had passel of kids. Exerpts from the English book.

There were also three daughters . This book goes on and on.. I have a Clarence Renshaw ,son of Hugh and "Aunt Melie" Renshaw who stated with myAunt Rose and Uncle Lester Baker near Golconda,Pope Co.,IL. His parents were living ,I guess,but the father couldn't or wouldn't provide for he and his brother,Burt,. I guess who stayed with a Mrs.McClanahan in that area. Hugh,his father,was said to be a "bad egg" by my informant. Hugh is the son of Elijah Simpson Renshaw and India Virginia Baker. Clarence died in 1970{location unknown). Sincerely,Virginia R.
