    1. [RENSHAW-L] Kentucky Renshaw's
    2. Hi Everyone, I am visiting my daughter in Louisville Kentucky. In this city is Cave hill Cemetery, established in 1848. I had a lead on another family line, that a possible ancestor was buried in this Cemetery. So off we went to investigate. Being a die hard RENSHAW researcher, while in the cemetery office I asked if any RENSHAW'S were buried here. Well, there are seven in two plots, but all are related. So here is the info and I also have photo's of the grave sites and the hard copies of the cemetery records. If any of these belong to you please contact me at mylhasa@softcom.net. I am temporarily using AOL while here in Kentucky, when I get home 3/27/00 will be glad to scan hard copies and photo's to anyone interested. I also have had the opportunity to visit Louisville Public Lib. They have a wonderful collection of birth & death records in book form. I copied several pages from various years. Will post later. Hope to get back to the lib. Before the week ends and get the rest. To the gentlemen in Southern Ca, who had asked me for a look up at Sutro. I am sorry I have forgotten your name. Louisville Lib, has a collection of books from Indiana, please forward your original request to me at mylhasa40@aol.com , they may have this book. The following is the cemetery records and I am including birth dates as shown on the stones. Miss Elizabeth Renshaw b. 1895 d. 1918 buried (bu.)10/18/1918 Homer S. Renshaw b. 1863 d. 1928 bu. 5/22/1928 Mrs. Metta Renshaw Brinke b. 1901 d. 1931 bu. 6/9/1931 Mrs . Lettie Quast Renshaw b. 1871 d. 1931 bu. 10/4/1961 Miss Marguerite m. Renshaw b. 1893 d. 1979 bu. 5/18/1979 Homer Q. Renshaw b. 1905 d. 1982 bu. 9/27/1982 All of the above are buried in the same plot. In a separate plot is buried this lady, however the cemetery record states this is the wife of Homer Q. Renshaw: Mrs. Sarah Bohan Renshaw b. 6-18-1904 d. Nov 4 1960 Directly behind the grave of this lady is the grave of one William Potter Bohan b. 2/!5/!903 d. 8/31/1955 Believe good chance these two are related. BTW Louisville is in Jefferson County. I hope this helps some of you KY researchers. I also hope if anyone connects they would let me know. Later posts will have Renshaws from these counties: Hopkins Henderson Christian Green Grayson Gwen Renshaw Maurer
