John Renner
Born: between 1785-1790 in Virginia
Died: about 1848 in Rockcastle County, Kentucky
Of all the early Renners, John was evidently the most successful. Born in VA between 1785 and 1790 to, we believe, Jacob and Mary Renner, John married Martha Linville, sister to William Linville who married Louisa Renner, about 1806. She bore him at least seven children, three boys (Granderson, Joseph, and John) and four girls (Elizabeth Jane, Lucinda, and two others who are unknown at this time).
As an adult, John lived on Skeggs Creek in the general area of the Price-Renner Cemetery on Rank Cromer Road, where he owned as much as 270 acres of land.
John is in the Rockcastle County tax lists from 1812 through 1847. In 1847 he is listed with 200 acres of land; in 1848 he is not listed, but Martha Renner makes her first appearance with 200 acres.
Three land grants, all which joined each other and lay on Skeggs Creek and Long Branch, were issued to John:
1. 120 acres dated 30 Mar 1827
2. 50 acres dated 31 May 1835
3. 100 acres dated 27 Mar 1846
The 1846 grant bordered the 50-acre 1835 survey on the northeast, the Buckner line on the southeast, and the "line of said Renner [John] homeplace" on the south (the 1827 grant, which also joined Buckner). In subsequent years, the 1835 grant was part of Solomon Rowe's land. Westerfield Renner and Leroy Brown were the chainmen for the 1846 survey.
The Renner-Baker land grant (15 Oct 1825), which is mentioned several times in the tax lists, was to John Renner and John Baker. It contained 100 acres, was located on the West Fork of Skeggs Creek and included Spice Lick Hollow (location unknown). Renner and Baker then sold it to John Evans Sr on 28 Mar 1826. The transfer of rights was signed by both Renner and Baker. John's signature is very readable and neat. Sylvester Renner was witness to the transaction.
Shortly after his death (or Martha's, sometime after 1850) John's land was seemingly divided between son Granderson and son-in-law Solomon Rowe, who had married daughter Lucinda--in later years Granderson owned John's land that lay on the south side of Skeggs, while Solomon owned the land on the north side.
While there are no marked graves for John or Martha, it's likely both are buried in the Price-Renner Cemetery as at least two of their children and several of their grandchildren are buried there and he also lived on the adjoining land.
