Hello Mr. Shelly,
I noticed that you live in Gate CIty, Scott County.We are in Wise County and my husband's relatives are from Roane County. His grandfather was Samuel Alexander Renfro and he married laura melissa Leffew.They had several children including my husband's father William Henry Renfro.William Henry married Ruth Odessal Graham in Harriman,, Tn.
At that time the ore mines that ran along walden's ridge were how they survived.then the TVA dam (Watt's Bar) took all of their property and had to move graves.
We have found records of Samuel Alexander Renfro (death Cert) and it list the parents as Joseph Renfro b. TN abt 1850 and Lula Miles b.TN about 1853-55.In your searches have you seen any reference to these people?Are any your relatives that you are aware of?
We are unable to track Joseph or Laura.It seem they just are nowhere to be found.Do you have any suggestions as to where I might go to search?
Mary Jane Witt Renfro
All my relatives on the Witt/Stewart side are from Scott County.
Thanks
