Sarah - There is a mention of the Rennick family and their origin from Inniskillen (County Fermanagh) in an action by James Logan in Pennsylvania, transcribed in Egle's Notes and Queries, Annual Volume, 1899, p.83, as follows: "Whereas George Rennick, late of Inniskillen, having about eleven years since arrived in this province with the first settlers of Donegal, yet has never obtained leave to settle on any of the proprietor's lands, without which leave he would never presume to attempt it, and being now desirous that himself and three sons, William, Thomas and Robert, and his son-in-law Robert Polke, might be allowed to settle down on some tract together in one neighborhood, I therefore think it advisable that persuant to his request he and his said sons and son-in-law be suffered to enter on the quantity of one thousand acres, near Susquehanna, betwen Sohatroe and Pextan, and that the same may be marked out to him and his said sons in a regular tract by the surveyor of Lancaster county or his order at the said George's charge, upon this express condition, that he and his said sons and son-in-law shall comply with such terms as shall be proposed by the proprietors or their agents, when lands in those parts shall be granted, or other wise shall quietly quitt the same. Dated at Stenton, the 25th day of January, 1730-1. JAMES LOGAN Lett him begin on Susquehanna at least two miles above Sohatroe, running a proper distance back, and he may take in any settlement that is only begun and not actually inhabited. J. L." This would place his arrival in the area at 1719-20. Is this the Robert Rennick that married Mary Boyd Walker as mentioned your note? Do you know when and where he died?
