General Notes: Husband - John Renfrew

---

The Renfrews date their ancestry back to Scotland, from which country John Renfrew came to America in 1774, being then a young man, aged seventeen years. He settled on the banks of the Connocochigue Creek, in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and there built one of the first gristmills in that section, having purchased the land on which it was located in 1778. John Renfrew was a Revolutionary War soldier.
He died in 1844 at the advanced age of ninety-six years. [HBC 1883, 273]

He came to America about 1768, and served in the Continental army throughout the Revolution. After the War of Independence had closed, he settled near Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, erected a grist and saw mill, and carried on the milling and lumbering business the remainder of his life. He was a member of the Covenanter church, and died in that faith. He was the father of four sons and four daughters. [HBC 1895, 918]
