I, too, am seeking information about Moses Renshaw. However, I am descended from his son William D. Renshaw, Robert Holdane's brother. William caught "Oregon Fever" and came out west in 1852, where he eventually settled in Lane County. His son, Samuel Irenious (1860-1950), was my grandfather. My mother tells many stories her father related to her, particularly during his first 60 years before he married, such as he was the unidentified redhead who rode with Jesse James, he was friends with Belle Starr, he had an Indian wife, but, of course, none of this can be documented. I already know quite a bit about Robert Holdane, but I have not carried the line down much into the 20th Century -- too many dead ends. I hope someone knows something about the parentage of Moses, because there are a few Renshaw lines he might be a member of, but without knowing his parents, or confirmation of his siblings, I am not about to hold my breath.
