Renny link to Chism / Howard ?
I ran across this information in a posting on the Chism genforum ... I have no idea if this means anything, but such an early use of "Belew" as a middle name is intriguing for those of stuck with Renny Belue, Sr.

James Thomas Chism, (b.10-15-1754 in VA.; d. 7-7-1819 in Barren Co. Kentucky) married Mary Howard in 1780 in Union Co. S.C. (daughter of Obediah Howard and Priscilla Breed). (James T. Chism was the son of James Chism and Barbara and his siblings were: Adam, John, Edmund, Sarah, Elinor, and Priscilla)
William Belew Chism (b. 4-8-1784 d. 3-11-1867 in Monroe Co.KY) married Priscilla Breed in 1804. (Priscilla Breed is the daughter of Nathan Breed and Mary Harlan. Nathan Breed was the brother of Priscilla Breed, wife of Obediah Howard. William Belew and Priscilla were second cousins.) He was the son of James T. Chism and Mary Howard and had the following siblings: Jacob, Michael, George, John, James T. and Elizabeth.

One of the Paulks (neighbors to Renny Belue, Sr.) is said to have married Jean Howard (parents' names unknown).If memory serves, there was also a man named Harlan who appears with Renny, Sr. in some document.
