Renfros/ Tn. toTexas
Looking for Renfros that went from East Tn. (Grainger Co., near Knoxville) to Texas, possibly the Brownsville area. My grandfather Albert H. Renfro Sr. told the tale that one or two brothers of his father went to Texas never to be heard from after; at least one becoming a lawyer, possibly for the King's Ranch in Brownsville. There is currently a Renfro law firm in that area. The names would have been Samuel S. Renfro, b. 1854 Grainger Co., Tn. and James R. Renfro, b. bet. 1854-1880 Grainger Co. (Wife Minnie Nance). They were sons of James H. Renfro and Nancy Jane Mitchell. Their brother George Washington Renfro was my great grandfather. The family farm is located outside Blaine, on Rutledge Pike, Grainger Co., Tn. and has been in the Mitchell/Renfro family since about 1806. It is still farmed by a cousin today. I have been unable to find anything on these two brothers. Does any one have any info on these lines?
