Notes:

Your Renfro family information is about the best on the www. Thank you for
tak ing time to post it.
But, I have a question regarding Nancy d/o William b 1734 (s/o William b
1703). You list her as born 1787, 17 years after next older si bling. Is
this
correct? What is/are your source(s)?
Reason I ask is: I am l ooking for "Anna" Renfro who married John Kennedy
bef
1792, probably VA, and had children who lived Wayne and Pulaski Co KY
1810-1840+. Children included Jesse R Kennedy and Joshua Kennedy. Your
Nancy
who married Mr Kennedy and ha d brothers Jesse and Joshua would be top of
my
"possibly Anna" list if she h ad been born abt 1771-1774, not 1787, So, any
help appreciated.
Thanks, Marth a Peterson
