Hi All, Want to clear up a few things regarding Tina's post. This is Eleanor Gordon & Anne Renshaw's, and I believe it is already in our archives. Eleanor will need to address the rest of the questions Tina has asked in connection to this line. Note to Tina & all: The Richard Renshaw, Tina, mentioned in connection to governor McKean IS NOT my ancestor. I have been trying to prove a connection between my line and his, but have not yet been successful. This Richard Renshaw, is the grandson of John Renshaw B. 1685 & Elizabeth Newcomb also b.1685. I have done much research on this line and have extensive data on many branches. Among his the more noted descendants of John Renshaw are Three great grandsons, who were civil war Naval officers. Lt. Commander, William Bainbridge Renshaw b.OCT. 11, 1816 served for the Union, D.1 Jan 1863 in the Battle of Galveston Bay,Texas. Rather than surrender his ship to the confederates, He set charges to his ship and they accidentally went off before he could vacate, he was lost in the explosion. His half brother Captain Richard T. Renshaw b.1822 d.22 MAR 1879. Portsmouth, VA. (Union) LT. Commander, Francis Bostick Renshaw b. SEPT.1815 in Phila., PA , served as a confederate naval officer. Died 1867. William Bainbidge Renshaw & Francis Bostick Renshaw were actually engaged in a naval battle against one another. This was a classic example of families divided by the "Battle of the Rebellion". Gwen
