Much research was done on the Renfro (all spellings) by Dr. D.O. Manshardt of Peoria, IL. He spent all his vacations for 25-30 years traveling to many States and Counties recording information regarding ALL Renfro's. The last several years he was going blind. His research consists of approximately 150-17 5 typewritten pages of court records regarding Renfro's. He published his finding in 1970, "Renfro Family Records in Kentucky" and placed a copy with the Kentucky Historical Society, Filson Library in Louisville, Ky and Grayson County Public Library in Leitchfield, KY. Many current day researchers refer to his work and some note that there were errors. Let's face it folks, we make mistakes today using the latest technology.

Robert Rentfree, ten acres of land; no wife nor negro slaves mentioned, and 1680;
"Parish Register of Christ's Church", 22 Dec. 1679 also mentions this Robert Rentfree
Next is Robert's marriage to Mary Evans on Aug. 28, 1667 at the Barbados Christ Church.
It is highly possible this Robert is the son of Symon who researchers believe to be the son of Baron James Rentfro.
