Hello Everyone, A branch of this Renfro family being discussed eventually wound up in Dade County Missouri, where they moved right in and in some cases intermarried with my Bird, Choate, Simmons & other families (and their fellow travelers) who had origins in Franklin County...via Robertson County TN (area around Cross Plains and east almost to White House on the Sumner County border -- deeds refer to Sulphur Fork of the Red River). The connections with the Renfros are found in many places in between and beyond, following various branches of these families hither and yon. The patriarch of this Dade County branch was Absalom Renfro, and wife Mary Penn. He is said to be the son of Lewis Renfro and Sarah Absalom, son of James Renfro and Lydia Harris, son of William Renfro and Elizabeth Cheney. I got this information from the following WorldConnect website which has an awful lot of documentation, though I have problems with the Quaker Pennsylvanians ending up in James City County VA (wayy over on the Chesapeake Bay), as is indicated. Maybe some of you can enlight me on this, though it makes sense with the Turpin connection. The following link is to Moses Renfro and (a) Hannah Rentfro and (b) Elizabeth Turpin. _http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=deloreswilley&id=I12882_ (http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=deloreswilley&id=I12882) I have separate connections with the Turpin family, via my Bentleys in Powhatan Co. VA in the late 1700s, early 1800s. I have not researched any of the above Renfros, but thought you all might like all the information hidden in the above website (regardless of accuracy to which I can't attest).

Interesting as my Renfro's are also married into the Choate and the Byrd-Bird families in Dickson and Humphreys County Tn. I descend from the below Choate-Renfro connections. Then they marry into the Bird families of Humphreys County Tn. Eleanor Renfro born aby 1775 married to John R. Choate born abt 1770 Lunenburg County Va. John Choate died 1835 in Dickson Co. Tn. John R. Choate is the son of Squire Choat and his wife Elizabeth Keith. ( My line of descent) Eleanor Renfro had a sister named Elizabeth Renfro and a brother named Robert Renfro Elizabeth Renfro was married to Thomas Kyle Choate ( a cousin to John R. Choate) As Thomas Kyle Choate comes off Thomas Choate and Elizabeth Ann Keith of Halifax County Va.
