Mrs.Helen Renwick 1930

lastonestanding — 2011-08-24 04:17:14Z

Claremont,California Courier newspaper of Thursday July 31 1930
SERVICES FOR MRS.RENWICK HELD MONDAY
Philanthropist had been resident her since year of 1895
Funeral services for Mrs. Helen Goodwin Renwick who passed away at her home at 211 College avenue last Friday were held in Claremont Church on Monday afternoon with Rev A D Stauffacher officiating.
The story of Mrs.Renwick's early years is quickly told but the achievements of her spirit will endure forever, said Mr.Stauffacher. She was born in Akron,Ohio on March 1845 and there she grew to young womanhood. When she graduated from Akron High School she was the sole member of her class.
From Akron she went to Oberlin college, graduating in the class of 1868. She pursued her studies in music until the following November when she went back to Akron to teach music for a time and then to assume a position in the high school, where she taught for 6 years.
Following a romance of unusual charm she was married to William Renwick in 1879 and together they enjoyed their home and a companionship in Davenport, Iowa for 10 years. One son was born to them, William Renwick who now lives in Boston.
In 1895 following the death of her husband she and the young son came to Claremont,making their home first at 161 West Sixth St. and since 1901 in her house on College avenue. Mrs.Renwick traveled a great deal, took an active interest in eery good enterprise for Claremont community, and up to the day of her death in a host of local and world wide interests.
Very early in life she became interested in missions at home and abroad.Such world leaders as John R Mott and Sherwood Eddy knew well the pathway to her resources and they trod it often and never in vain.They kept her informed ahead of the newspaper and magazine accounts, of significant world movements. The American board of foreign missions and all other benevolent societies counted her as a special friend................

Renwicks of Sheffield 1770

jeanhoulton — 2011-01-19 14:48:24Z

Adam Renwick 1748 = Hannah Ward 1/04/1748

Hannah Ward was baptised on 1/04/1748 at the Cathedral, Sheffield. She married Adam Renwick on 4/11/1769 and they were the parents of Jeremiah. The name seems consistent with a non conformist family. To succeed in life it was important to be baptised and married in the Anglican Church. Jeremiah was baptised on 12/07/1784 at Upper Independent Chapel, Norfolk Street, Sheffield. He married Elizabeth Radford on 27/04/1806 at the Cathedral St. Peter, Sheffield. He was buried at St Philip’s Church of England on 12/10/1845 aged 61. Information about these families would be appreciated.

Henry married Alison Renwick in 1873 and they has a son Thomas in 1877. Thomas married Mary Jane Speir Mills in 1903 and had at least two daughters, Elizabeth (in 1914) and Ella. Elizabeth was my maternal grandmother.

Re: James Renwick born 1771 Dumfries

drdrenwick — 2010-05-12 19:05:17Z

I'm taking a shot in the dark on this but the name James is a recurring name in my Renwick line and I'm just looking for possibilities. My line currently ends with Reverend John Renwick b. 1735 in Dervock Antrim Ireland d. 20 Aug 1806 in Newberry County South Carolina USA. John was a minister in the Anti-Burgher Church (Presbyterian)who supposedly was schooled at Glasglow University and was also supposedly a relative of James Renwick "The Last of The Covenent Martyrs". Another possible contact for you maybe Donna Duren who has the recurrent name of "James" running in her line..she comes from the Edinburgh area. Donn Renwick

Yes, my father is David and I am his daughter Christine. We were just going through a few old photographs the other day and I was thinking I wanted to learn a bit more about the family tree. Do you have any information on this?

Re: Renwicks from Durham, UK

mg198 — 2009-08-28 07:17:31Z

In that case your father must be either David or Doug who visited us a few years back during their trip around England

Re: Renwicks from Durham, UK

cpizzey — 2009-08-28 04:38:34Z

Yes, after further research, my great-grandparents are Mary (Minnie) Renwick and John (Jack) Renwick. Both born 1873. I found another website that has more of the family tree. My grandfather is Henry Hall Renwick, who came to Canada in the 1920's.

Re: Renwicks from Durham, UK

Reverend John Renwick is buried in Cannons Creek A.R.P. Church Cementary with his wife and daughter MaryAnn. Stan Renwick, who lives and works in Newberry, gave me the directions to get there. It's down a dirt road, but it is and impressive monument. We were in Newberry in 2006 and found the town to be very friendly. The library there has a good size heritary section with lots of documentation on the Renwick family. If you visit my Renwick-Ziegler Tree there is a picture of the monument.

Re: James Wrenwick/Renwick

keikel22 — 2009-01-20 08:38:32Z

I figured they are of the same line, just no proof. I didn't know there was a monument in Newberry. That is where I live.

Re: James Wrenwick/Renwick

drdrenwick — 2009-01-18 22:28:30Z

Reverend John Renwick's daughter Agnes (my ggggrandmother) actually signed her will and a bill of sale with the spelling of "wrenwick", but the monument to Rev. John in Newberry says "renwick". The settlers on this era and the next couple of generations were constantly changing the spelling whether by accident, training or design. Donn

Re: James Wrenwick/Renwick

I have a little info on this John Renwick from Ireland, coming to Newberry. But my line of James is spelled Wrenwick, comes from S.C. then onto White County, Illinois. I can find no other Wrenwicks in S.C. but the Renwick spelling. I am sure they tie into together. But I am looking for the facts to prove it , can You Help.

Re: James Wrenwick/Renwick

Renwick/Burns familial relationship

richb888 — 2008-11-22 13:30:42Z

David Renwick Burns was my gtgtgrandfather (b. NYC 1800;d.NYC 1877). He married first on 12 May 1825 to Ann Maria Grant (b. Albany NY 17 March 1805, d. NYC 19 Sep 1832). He married second on Oct 19, 1837 in NYC to Helen A. Day (1814-1890).

DRB's parents were Robert Burns (b. Scotland, d. West Indies, 1804) & Agnes Dillon(b. Newey,Ireland,d. NYC 20 July 1848). Ann Maria Grant's parents were John Grant (b. Grant Town, Scotland 1764, d. Johnstown NY 1852 & Ann Mills. John Grant's parents were Wm & Mary (McGregor) Grant

DRB's middle name suggests a familial relationship between the Burns family and the Renwick family. I am seeking any information bearing on such a relationship. Dick Burns
