Stephen Renfro, I

Notes

• One highly respected Renfro family researcher mentioned that Stephen Renfro, Sr. was probably the son of William Renfro (b. 1678) and wife Jane. She also noted that Stephen, Sr. had brothers James (b. 1703), Peter (b. 1705), and Joseph (b. 1709). This information apparently is from 1992 LDS microfiche found in Virginia; efforts are ongoing to find further documentation to confirm this hypothesis. My thanks to cousin Richard and Theresa for providing their input on this subject. (1)
