Hi, I'm especially concerned with the Peter Rentfro you speak of. I believe, if I interpret what you wrote correctly, that Peter, along with Moses, Isaac, James, Joseph & 2 Williams w ent to the Cumberland Area in 1780. Is that correct? When was Peter Renfro ki lled? You say he was
killed near present day Nashville.There is a Davidson Co ., TN (really N.C.) deeded 840 acres of land on Cumberland to George Pirtle d ated 9 Sept. 1780 - proven by oath of William Fletcher in Davidson Co. July term, 1790.Then there is a deed/grant - land surveyed Nov. 26, 1785 for Pete r Rentfro - warrant No. 581- 640 acres in Davidson Co. on Cumberland to Peter Rentfro. Grant signed by Samuel Johnston dated July 13, 1788.On a 1798 Prope rty tax list for Montgomery Co., TN Peter Rentfro heirs is listed. There was also a James Rentfro on the list.Peter Rentfro witnessed the will of Wm. McCl ish in Robertson Co., TN dated 13 Nov. 1802. Peter Rentfro was listed on a pe tition to general assembly of TN 1803 from Robertson & Montgomery Counties to make new county - son of Wm. McClish, John McClish, was also on the list. (D ickson County was formed from Motgomery & Robertson Counties in 1803.) In 180 5 Dickson County (court minutes) James Rentfro was on a jury. Peter Rentfro is
mentioned often between 1804 & 1810.26 Nov 1808 in Dickson Co., TN Nathaniel Johnson deeded land on Barton's Creek to Peter Rentfro. 14 Feb 1810 Dicks on Co. John McClish gave to Peter Rentfro property (horses, cattle, etc. - pr operty willed to Jane McClish, now Jane Rentfro, wife of Peter Rentfro by Jan es deceased husband, William McClish. Jane Johnston married William McClish i n Davidson Co. 10 Nov. 1794.) 7 June 1810 Peter Rentfro of Dickson Co. sold l and to Henry Grimes - land where Peter now lives. 11 Sept. 1810 Dickson Co. P eter & Jane Rentfro of "Murry? Co. (Maury Co., TN)sold land to John McClish o n Barton's Creek. (They moved
to Maury Co., TN from Dickson Co., TN)By 1817 Peter & wife were in Wayne Co., TN, as were various others who had previously lived in Dickson Co. He was listed there on the 1820, 1830 & 1840 census. This Peter Rentfro was born between 1760-1770 somewhere - per 1840 Wayne Co. cen sus. He must have died before 1850 because there are no Rentfros on the census. It's believed he had no kids - none were listed on any of the census.
