Hello Carol, There is a fragmented thought in one of these sentences in the first paragraph. I will type this as it is written, plus the second paragraph: II JOHN AND NANCY REED RENSHAW "This family has no record of their North Carolina forebears. Reed RENSHAW, the eldest son, left a record in which he said that his parents were married in Rowan County but the names of their parents. Was Nancy of the family of Capt. REED in whose District Thomas RENSHAW lived?" "John RENSHAW paid taxes in Christain County, KY in 1810. Relatives of his wife, Nancy, were eager for them to move on wiht them to Madison County, MO. John made a trip there and planned to take his family in 1822 but he died before he reached his home in Kentucky. Nancy took her family to Missouri as they had planned and the eldest daughter Matilda, married there and remained but Nancy and the other children returned to Kentucky where she and her sons engaged in farming in Hamby District, Christain County. Nancy died in 1824 leaving a family that would be a credit to that community for several genrations." There are 5 pages on this family. If you wish to give me your snail mail address, I can mail them to you. There is information on Frances B. and Nancy E. RENSHAW and other family of yours in this section.
