In theearly 1980’s we did much Renick research before the advent of computers and theInternet. We published a booklet atthat time, and what follows is a portion of that book. There is still confusionon the early (1700’s) Renick ancestors, and I am not sure there will ever beenough evidence to draw absolute conclusions. In the past 20 years, some have made theclaim of a link to an older ancestor, but to date, I am no more certain of theearlier generational lines than I was at the time of our originalresearch.
THERENICK FAMILY HISTORY
By: Tom &Betty Renick
HISTORY OF THE RENICK NAME
European family names came into being around the twelfthcentury as the population increased, and it has been suggested that a family'slast name came from a man's occupation, a physical characteristic such as Short,a combination of father's first name and relationship such as Johnson, or alocation or area.
The RENICK name -- which has been spelled as Renwick,Rennick, Rennock, Rennicks, Renix and Reynick -- comes most recently from alocation in the Cumberland County area in England near the Scotland bordercalled Renwick. Around themid-to-southern part of Scotland or the "lowlands, " many towns bear the suffixof "wick" such as Berwick, Ainwick and Harwick.
In pronouncing Renwick, (in the British Isles) the “w”is silent, and by the time the Scotch Irish Renicks came to America in the early1700's, the "w" had already been dropped. Some Renwicks who came directly fromScotland retained the spelling of Renwick, at least in thebeginning. Someimmigrants from Ireland in the 1800’s were spelling the nameRennick.
The variety of spellings of the Renick name seems to beprimarily a result of poor spelling by record keepers and censustakers.
Recorded coats-of -arms which were painted on shieldswere used in Europe in the middle ages to identify families, but no old recordof a coat-of -arms has been located for Renwick.
Two recent coats-of-arms for English families have beenlocated. One family is in the southern part of England, and the other is fromthe Northumberland area (near the Renwick area). This Renwick family operates asuccessful shipping business, and their coat-of -arms has a horse galloping on afield at the bottom; two sailing ships on top with a raised hand between; abovethe shield is a griffin-type head; the motto reads: For TrueLiberty.
HISTORICAL MIGRATION PRIOR TO1600
It appears fairly certain that the Renwicks wereliving in the lowlands of Scotland, at least 400 to 500 years ago. As mentionedby several ancestors, word-of -mouth has suggested the Renicks were once theWicks of Germany and that when they moved to the Rhine River area, they becamethe Reinwicks. They later migrated to England or Scotland because of religiouspersecution. This German ancestry suggestion seems fairly consistent among manyRenicks. One relative mentioned that there is a Rennick castle on the RhineRiver in Germany today.
POLITICAL / RELIGIOUS CLIMATE OF THE 1600'S INSCOTLAND
In Scotland the reformation began in the 1500's withJohn Knox, founder of the Presbyterian faith, as the most outspoken leaderagainst the Catholic faith. The kings of England then tried to force the Scotreformers to conform to worship practices of the Church of England (Anglican orEpiscopal) in order to have a uniform church. In 1625, Charles I tried to imposeuniform worship practices which fueled much discontent, and in 1637, when hetried to impose a new liturgy, a riot broke out at the St. Giles Cathedral. OnFebruary 28, 1638, the National Covenant was signed, pledging the signers tomaintain their chosen forms of worship and church government (Presbyterian).These people became known as Covenanters. A period of Civil wars ensued andPresb3terians were tortured, imprisoned or killed.
RENICK ANCESTORS IN SCOTLAND
Probably the most famous Renick ancestor in Scotland wasJames Renwick who lead the Covenanters who disowned the authority of the king toimpose the Church of England on the Scots. His followers wereoften called "Renwickites.
He was captured and executed in 1688. There is amonument with an inscription bearing his name at the Greyfriers Church Yard atEdinburgh where he is buried.
A contemporary of and possibly a relative of JamesRenwick was John Renwick who refused to take an oath of allegiance to the kingand was imprisoned. He was also a Covenanter. He was among 100 "prisoners" whosailed on the 'Henry & Francis' in 1685 to New Jersey. After arriving, these"prisoners' refused to become indentured servants, and after winning a courtcase, were sent into Pennsylvania, New York andConnecticut
RENICKS IN IRELAND
In 1609, prior to the religious wars and persecutions inScotland, England had established the Ulster Plantation in northern Ireland inorder to bring over a strong Protestant element to Catholic Ireland. The landswere taken away from the Irish and given to Scottish or English people, and sobegan the protestant/Catholic problems of Northern Ireland which continuetoday.
Although the Scots and Irish lived together for severalgenerations, they neither mingled nor intermarried. However, in 1704, Englandpassed legislation aimed at Catholics, but also, because of a sacramental test,excluded Presbyterians from holding public office. There were also cropfailures, suppression of trade and escalation of rents.
The Scotch-Irish immigration to America (1714 -1750)began at this time. Scots who had left Scotland for Ireland found that they werenot welcome in Ireland and began another exodus to the NewWorld.
The first traceable Renick ancestor (George) came in1719 from Enniskillen, Ulster, Ireland toPennsylvania.
SCOTCH-IRISH MIGRATION TO AMERICA
The migration from Ireland took most to the shores ofNew Jersey or Delaware where they were not particularlywelcomed.
Scotch-Irish migrants havebeen described as "Bible-believing tradesmen who liked their whiskey. " Themigratory pattern was from the Atlantic Coast into western Pennsylvania and thenalong the eastern part of the Allegheny Mountains into Virginia. They thenpushed westward into Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio in the early days of settlement(1740's to 1820's).
Ohio and Kentucky lands were given for various reasonssuch as payment for military service or a willingness to provide a line ofdefense from the Indians. The Scotch-Irish were tough fighters who were willingto tackle the settling of un-cleared lands. These early Scotch-Irish settlershave been described by Marcus Wilson Jernegan in his Epochs of AmericanHistory "The PresbyterianScotch Irish . . . were militant, political minded and jealous of theirpolitical rights. Their clergy generally were educated, promoters of educationand of civil and religious liberty . . The Scotch-Irish element, owing to itsnumbers, its inherited antagonism, and attitude, toward England; because of itsreligion, settlement on the frontier, militancy, love of liberty, and thecharacter of its clergy, was one ofthe most important in the colonies. From the Scotch-Irish came some famouspolitical leaders, east and west, such as Patrick Henry and AndrewJackson.”
RENICKS IN AMERICA
Family tradition which was recorded by William Renick(born 1804) in his "Memoirs, Correspondence and Reminiscences of William Renick"(Circleville, Ohio, 1880) reveals the early migration of the Renick Family toAmerica. He said that the Renicks migrated from Germany to Scotland to escapereligious persecution and that the name changed from Rinewicke to Renwick. Partof the family moved from Scotland to Colerain County, Ireland. At thattime there was a father and three brothers; one brother was created a peer ofthe realm and agreed to purchase the land of the other two. The father and twobrothers sailed to America, It is believed that the two sons were George andThomas Renick who settled in Pennsylvania in the early 1700's (however, it seemsthat George came over in 1719 and Thomas in 1733, so there is adiscrepancy).
It is known for sure that George was inPennsylvania about 1719 because in a record of a land grant dated January 25,1730-1731, it is reported that "George Renick, late of Inniskillen having abouteleven years since arrived in this province . . . which would make his arrivalaround 1719.
Thomas' arrival date is believed to be 1733; thiswould be substantiated by the fact that his sons born in 1725 and 1730 were bornin Ireland. At any rate, there were two Renicks (George and Thomas) inPennsylvania by 1733, believed to be brothers, and we do know their children'snames and other information about them.
George Renick was probably born in the late 1600's inIreland. He had three sons and one
daughter -- Robert, Thomas, William and Elizabeth.George and his family owned 1000 acres
in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on the Susquehanna,Sohataroe and Paxtang Rivers in 1730.
George was active in a Presbyterian congregation in 1734and helped secure the services of a
minister who served the Derry and Paxtang congregationsfor awhile.
There is a date of death (1737) for a George Renick inLancaster County, Pennsylvania.
In 1738, the original land tract in Pennsylvaniawas divided among Thomas, Robert and Thomas
(perhaps George's brother or it could be an error and itshould read William). George's daughter, Elizabeth, married Robert Polke at thePresbyterian Church in Abington, Pennsylvania on January 2, 1724. They went toAugusta County, Virginia around 1738 and had a family of ninechildren.
W hen the Renick brothers sold the Pennsylvania land in1740, they apparently all went to Virginia.
Thomas had at least two sons, Samuel and George andothers.
On August 14, 1748, Thomas Renick obtained 270 acres inFrederick County Virginia on the
Wappacomo or Great Southern Branch of the PotomacRiver. In 1766, 200 acres of landin
Hampshire County, Virginia, previously owned by Thomaswas deeded to George Renick (believed
to be Thomas’ son). It is believed that his son George(grandson to Thomas's father George) is the
father to William of Hampshire County who was the fatherto George who went to Clark County,
Kentucky.
Little information is available about the brotherWilliam (son of first George) probably because
there were so many Williams existing at the sametime. The Pennsylvania Gazette ofOctober 4,
1739, reports that a William Renick was anassessor for Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. This
William could be the ancestor of the Renicks of Ohio whocame from Hampshire County
(two brothers, John and William) but there is no proofof this.
The third son (of the first George), Robert, and hisdescendents are the Greenbrier County, (W)VA
Renicks. Robert was married to Elizabeth Archer, and they went to Virginiaaround 1740.
Robert Renick was in the Virginia militia and quicklyadvanced through the ranks. He was granted
300 acres in the part of Orange County, Virginia,designated Augusq on June 15, 1745.
As a Captain of Horse he was active in "Indian troublesand in 1757, he was killed by
a party of Shawnees. His pregnant wife and children,William, Joshua, Nancy, Thomas,
Betsy, Margaret and Robert, were captured by theIndians. Two children, Betsy and Robert,
died in captivity and one child (RobertII) was born incaptivity. The family was finally
released in1767 as part of Boquet's treaty with the Ohio Indians.
Two of the boyscaptured by the Indians, William and Thomas were among the first settlers of
Greenbrier County,(W) Va. where there is a small town named Renick.
William had no children, but Thomas' son, Robert, movedto Ohio in 1803 and settled in the
Clark Gounty (Springfield) Ohioarea.
Many of the other Greenbrier Renicks joined thewestward movement and intermarried with other
branches of Renicks.
The other first generation Renick believed to be thebrother to the first George,
Thomas, came to America in 1733, and not as much isknown about the descendants of Thomas.
It is known that he owned 326 acres on the SusquehannaRiver in Pennsylvania and a 28 acre
island in the river. He operated a ferry to the island.We only know of one son, William, who was
born in Ireland in 1704 and who died in 1762 (willprobated 1-5-1763) in Paxtang, Pa.
There are some missing pieces to the Renick puzzle andsome questions unanswered. Onoccasion, where indicated, we have suggested lineage because of otherinformation available, but all information is based on personal statements orexisting documents we have examined or received from otherresearchers.

Notesfor George Renick:
"An Early Settler on the Susquehanna:Whereas George Renick, late of Iniskillen, having about eleven years sincearrived in the province with the first settlers of Donegal, yet has neverobtained leave to settle on any of the proprietor's lands, without which leavehe never would presume to attempt it, and being now desirous that himself andthree sons, William, Thomas, and Robert and his son-in-law, Robert Polke, mightbe allowed to settle down on some tract together in one neighbourhood, Itherefore think it advisable that pursuant to his request he and his said sonsand son-in-law be suffered to enter on the quantity of one thousand acres, nearSusquehanna, between Sohataroe and Pextan, and that the same may be marked outto him and his said sons in a regular tract by the surveyor of Lancaster countyor his order at the said George's charge, upon this express condition, that heand his said sons and son-in-law shall comply with such terms as shall beproposed by the proprietors or their agents, when lands in those parts shall begranted, or other wise shall quietly quitt the same. Dated at Stenton, the 25thday of January, 1730-1. JAMES LOGAN

Notesfor Robert Renick:
pp.89-91 in "Chronicles of Border Warfare" by Alexander Scott Withers ('A
NewEdition' edited & annotated by Reuben Gold Thwaites, Secretary of the
WisconsinHistorical Society 1895)
"Inthe summer of 1761, about sixty Shawnee warriors penetrated the
settlementson James river. To avoid the fortat the mouth of Looney's
creek,on this river, they passed through Bowen's gap in Purgatory mountain,
inthe night; and ascending Purgatory creek, killed Thomas Perry, Joseph
Dennisand his child and made prisoner his wife, Hannah Dennis. They then
proceededto the house of Robert Renix, where they captured Mrs. Renix, (a
daughterof Sampson Archer) and her five children, William, Robert, Thomas,
Joshuaand Betsy -- Mr. Renix not being at home. They then went to the
houseof Thomas Smith, where Renix was; and shot and scalped him and Smith;
andtook with them, Mrs. Smith and Sally Jew, a white servant girl. (There
isa footnote added at this point by Lyman Copeland Draper): Thename is
Renick. Robert Renick, who was killed on theoccasion referred to, was a
manof character and influence in his day. His name appears on Capt. John
Smith'scompany roll of Augusta militia as early as 1742; and four years
later,he was lieutenant of a mounted company of August militia. Instead of
1761,the captivity of the Renick family occurred July 25, 1757, as shown by
thePreston Register, which states that Renick and another were killed on
thatday -- Mrs. Renick and seven children, and a Mrs. Dennis captured; and
thesame day, at Craig's Creek, one man was killed and two wounded. The
Renicktraditions state that Mrs. Renick had only five children when taken;
andone born after reaching the Indian towns; and corrects some other
statementsnot properly related in Wither's narrative of the affair.)
Wither'snarrative continues: William andAudley Maxwell, and George
Matthews,(afterwards governor of Georgia,) were then going to Smith's
house;and hearing the report of the guns, supposed that there was a
shootingmatch. But when they rode to thefront of the house and saw the
deadbodies of Smith and Renix lying in the yard, they discovered their
mistake;and contemplating for a moment the awful spectacle, wheeled to ride
back. At this instant several guns were firedat them; fortunately without
doingany execution except the cutting off the club of Mr. Matthews' cue.
Thedoor of the house was then suddenly opened; the Indians rushed out and
raisingthe war cry, several of them fired -- Audley Maxwell was slightly
woundedin the arm. It appeared afterwards,that the Indians had seen
Matthewsand the Maxwells coming; and that some of them had crowded into the
house,while the others with the prisoners went to the north side of it, and
concealedthemselves behind some fallen timber. Mrs. Renix, after she was
restoredto her friends in 1766, stated that she was sitting tied, in the
midstof four Indians, who laying their guns on a log, took deliberate aim
atMatthews; the others firing at the Maxwells -- The sudden wheeling of
theirhorses no doubt saved the lives of all three. The Indians divided,
andtwenty of them taking the prisoners, the plunder and some horses which
theyhad stolen, set off by the way of Jackson's river, for the Ohio; the
remainderstarted towards Cedar creek, with the ostensible view of
committingfurther depredations. But Matthewsand the Maxwells had sounded
thealarm, and the whole settlement were soon collected at Paul's stockade
fort,at the Big spring near to Springfield. Here the women and children
wereleft to be defended by Audley Maxwell and five other men; while the
others,forming a party of twenty-two, with George Matthews at their head,
setout in quest of the enemy. TheIndians were soon overtaken, and after a
severeengagement, were forced to give ground. Matthews and his party
followedin pursuit, as far as Purgatory creek; but the night being very
darkin consequence of a continued rain, the fugitives effected an escape;
andovertaking their comrades with the prisoners and plunder, on the next
evening,at the forks of the James and Cowpasture rivers, proceeded to Ohio
withoutfurther molestation. When Matthewsand his men, on the morning
succeedingthe engagement, returned to the field of battle, they found nine
Indiansdead; whom they buried on the spot. Benjamin Smith, Thomas Maury
andthe father of Sally Jew, were the only persons of Matthews' party who
werekilled -- these, together with those who had been murdered on the
precedingday, were buried near the fork of a branch, in (what is now) the
meadowof Thomas Cross, Sr. In Boquet'streaty with the Ohio Indians, it
wasstipulated that the whites detained by them in captivity were to be
broughtin and redeemed. In compliance withthis stipulation, Mrs. Renix
wasbrought to Staunton in 1767 and ransomed, together with two of her sons,
William,the late Col. Renix of Greenbrier, and Robert, also of
Greenbrier-- Betsy, her daughter, had died on the Miami. Thomas returned
in1783, but soon after removed and settled, on the Scioto, near
Chillicothe. Joshua never came back; he took anIndian wife and became a
Chiefamong the Miamies -- he amassed a considerable fortune and died near
Detroitin 1810"

Robert Renick was described as a matureman when he came to Virginia in
1740. He is described as a man of charter andinfluence in his day. In
Chalkey,Vol. 1, page 76, records of Agusta County, is found this entry
illustratedof the repute of Robert Renick: June 17, 1757. This was justa
monthbefore his death. John Smith's willpresented. Robert Renick, the
remainingwitness proved it, and the cout, knowing the signature of testator
andwitness, it is recorded. His nameappears on Capt. John Smith's roll of
AugstaMilitia as early as 1742, and four years later, Feb. 19, 1746, he was
commissionedLieutent of Horse, and on Aug. 19, 1752, Capt. of Troops. He
waswounded at Braddock's defeat July 9, 1756.
The Virginia records show that on June10, 1740, Robert Renick received a
patentto 400 acers of land on the Buffalo Lick Branch in Augusta County,
Va. and on Nov. 10, 1757, Robert Renickobtained a patent to 90 acers on
PuratoryCreek, a branch of the James River.
Therecords of Agusta County show that the grantee wrote his name Renick.
Thissignature is attached to a conveyance of May 25, 1747, to James Miles
for201 acers on the Buffalo Branch, "being part of the land Robert Renick
nowlives on; and to one Feb. 14, 1748, to Silas Hart for 199 acers, part of
400acers granted to Robert Renick by patent dated June 10, 1740' amd to one
ofNov. 25, 1751, to --- (name illegiable ) for 300 acers on 'a head branch
ofCedar Creek, a branch of James River at a place called the timber plain.
"Nov. 6,1751, John Harrison conveyed to this Renick 241 acers of land in
AgustaCounty.
Thisis the Robert Renick of whose massacre in 1757 Withers gives an
accountin his Border Warfare, tho he spells the name as Renix.
ROBERTwas shown as a member of Captian John Smith's Company of Militia,
1742( Chalkey 11 page 508 ) On February19, 1746 he was commissioned
Lt. of Horse ( Ibid 1 - 53 ) In a serial article in the Kanawha
Register,commencing on September 4, 1829, I find the statement that Capt.
RobertRenick was wonded at Braddock's defeat , and a letter is quoted from
Col.John Stuart, in the Lexington, Virginia Intelligencer, January 13,
1826,in regard to the Bouquet treaty, that Mrs. Renick and children
wererestored in 1764, and that Thomas Renick ( should have read Joshua ) ,
sonof Robert , settled in Chillicothe, Ohio. On July 25, 1757, the Indians
madea raid on the Jackson's River settlement, in which Captian Robert
Renickwas killed, and his family taken captive ( Chalkey Ohio ) One of his
sonsJoshua, remained with the Indians, and died on Lake Earie about 1810, a

Notesfor Felix Renick:
Fromseveral sources & family papers:
FelixRenick, Ohio pioneer, cattleman, was born in Hardy County, VA a son of WilliamRenick who emigrated from Ireland to America and who became a deputy under LordFairfax in the survey of counties in southern Virginia. His ancestors, according to familytradition, were German. As a youthRenick with two friends made a trip of exploration into Ohio and investigatedthe region lying between the Scioto and Licking rivers. In 1801 he returned to Ohio to settle,purchasing of the government at Chillicothe a large tract of land in Ross Countyat $2.50 per an acre. About 1795 hehad married Hannah See of Virginia; they were the parents of nine children. He was interested in children anderected at his own expense on his farm by the turnpike what was long known asthe Felix Renick school house. Hewas also one of the founders and the first president of the Logan HistoricalSociety and contributed several articles to its magazine, the AmericanPioneer.
Felixand his brother George Renick became the outstanding agricultural leaders insouth central Ohio. They fedsuperior cattle for their day and were the first persons to make long overlanddrives of fa cattle to market. In1802 they visited Kentucky and bought a herd of longhorns. In 1833 forty-six men in Ohio and two inKentucky organized "the Ohio Company for importing English Cattle." This company employed Felix Renick to goto England to import some of the best improved cattle of that country. He sailed in January 1834, made acareful inspection of notable herds, and returned to American with nineteen headof shorthorns. This includedseveral animals that later became famous progenitors. In 1835 a second, and again in 1836 athird consignment was brought from England to the Renick farm. On Oct. 29, 1836, an auction sale ofthese cattle was held on the farm south of Chillicothe. Forty-three animals brought$35.540. This was the mostepoch-making cattle sale held in America up to that time. On Jan. 27, 1848, when in hisseventy-eighth year, Renick was killed by a timber falling upon him at the PaintCreek ferry near Chillicothe. Hisremains lie in a little family cemetery overlooking the farm.
Thesmallest State park in Ohio is Renick Memorial State Park, only a few yards inlength and width. The monumentcommemorates Felix Renick (1770-1848), an early Ohio livestock raiser whoinaugurated the overland route to Eastern livestock markets in 1804 by drivinghis herds over Zane's Trace to Baltimore and other cities. Renick was the first American to import(1834) full-blooded Shorthorn cattle from Europe, and held the first public saleof the breed in this country not far from the park site.

“Renicks Who Went fromHampshire Co, VA to Clark Co, KY”
From theinformation available, we believe the ancestry to be as follows: George Renick (who came over in 1719)had a son Thomas, who would have been born in the early 1700’s. Thomas “took up” land in Hampshire Co,VA which was patented to George Renick in 1766. George is noted as the “eldest son ofThomas”. There is a genealogy inthis section that shows William as the ancestor, but we know the father of Johnand William of Ohio was William, so we believe Thomas, son of George, to be theancestor.

“Renicks Who Went from PA to MD, VA, KY, MO & TX”
Thomas Renick came to America from Northern Irelandwith his family around 1733. He istraditionally believed to be the brother of George who came over in 1719. On March 27, 1738, he took out a warrantfor 326 acres in Paxtang Township in PA and also an island in the SusquehannaRiver opposite this land. The onlyknown descendant of this Thomas is William. Thomas was born in Ireland and died inPaxtang after 1744.
William, son of Thomas wasborn in Ireland in 1704. It isbelieved that he married an Ann Hamilton (1716-1806) in 1733, but others haveclaimed that she was Mary Ann Dugan. William died before 1763 since his estate was divided on January 5,1763.

LeonardHALL settled first in Bedford Co., VA then moved on to Kentucky with daughtersRuth and Prudence marrying brothers Henry and Samuel RENICK and helped to foundBarren Co.,KY. About 1819 this RENICK/HALL group moved to Missouri and residedin Ray, Lafayette, and Jackson Counties, MO
From: Mary Miller<[email protected]>
Aboutthe suit over the feather bed--I thought you'd like to know there was more to itthan that. I'm descended fromLeonard Hall, who had a land grant of 1400 acres in Kentucky. He first settled in Bourbon, where someof his children stayed, then moved to Barren with the younger
children,living near Henry Renick. HenryRenick and a younger son, Mahlon Hall, were made executors, and when he died,they sold some land Leonard owned in Clark County and pocketed the proceeds--orso the lawsuit goes. They werebrought to court by Caleb Hall, the elder son
wholived in Bourbon. The rest of the 12 Hall kids sided with one side or the other,and it was a mess. Before it wasall over, they all gave depositions. My Joannah Hall Hardwick finally admitted that a female slave given toher by her father was supposed to be part of her share of his estate. All the papers are on file in BarrenCounty, and it is a fine example of kids squabbling over an estate. Leonard would turn over in hisgrave! Anyhow, I thought you'd findthat of interest--there was more than a feather bed at stake!

Page55 -- Henry Renick, who lived nearthe Buck Knob, was the first sheriff of this county. Richard Garnett, from the lawestablishing this county, could not determine whether he ought to give anofficial bond as Clerk of the Quarter Session Court. He consulted with his father, Judge JohnGarnett, and they concluded it would be most prudent to give a bond. Accordingly they prepared and executedone. Renick being a litigious man,and always in debt, concluded he would bring a suit against Garnett to recoverthe penalty of three hundred pounds, which the law gave for failing to execute abond. He brought suit againstGarnett to recover that penalty, thinking no bond had been given; but greatly tohis consternation and disappointment, the court dismissed the suit and made himpay the costs. We have thoughtproper to give this explanation in order that you may understand the followingpoetry, composed by Abner Bowen in the year 1799, a copy of which having beensent to us, we now give you in word and figure.
"Todescribe the pike Buck I mean to do
Keeptruth on my side and modesty too.
Thisstag, I am informed, lives near Buck Knob,
Andhas lately been striving his neighbor to rob.
Ihave sued the Clerk of our County,
Andthree hundred pounds to be my bounty,
Andif that my debts won't pay,
Iwill distance all and run away."

Notesfor Felix Renick:
Fromseveral sources & family papers:
FelixRenick, Ohio pioneer, cattleman, was born in Hardy County, VA a son of WilliamRenick who emigrated from Ireland to America and who became a deputy under LordFairfax in the survey of counties in southern Virginia. His ancestors, according to familytradition, were German. As a youthRenick with two friends made a trip of exploration into Ohio and investigatedthe region lying between the Scioto and Licking rivers. In 1801 he returned to Ohio to settle,purchasing of the government at Chillicothe a large tract of land in Ross Countyat $2.50 per an acre. About 1795 hehad married Hannah See of Virginia; they were the parents of nine children. He was interested in children anderected at his own expense on his farm by the turnpike what was long known asthe Felix Renick school house. Hewas also one of the founders and the first president of the Logan HistoricalSociety and contributed several articles to its magazine, the AmericanPioneer.
Felixand his brother George Renick became the outstanding agricultural leaders insouth central Ohio. They fedsuperior cattle for their day and were the first persons to make long overlanddrives of fa cattle to market. In1802 they visited Kentucky and bought a herd of longhorns. In 1833 forty-six men in Ohio and two inKentucky organized "the Ohio Company for importing English Cattle." This company employed Felix Renick to goto England to import some of the best improved cattle of that country. He sailed in January 1834, made acareful inspection of notable herds, and returned to American with nineteen headof shorthorns. This includedseveral animals that later became famous progenitors. In 1835 a second, and again in 1836 athird consignment was brought from England to the Renick farm. On Oct. 29, 1836, an auction sale ofthese cattle was held on the farm south of Chillicothe. Forty-three animals brought$35.540. This was the mostepoch-making cattle sale held in America up to that time. On Jan. 27, 1848, when in hisseventy-eighth year, Renick was killed by a timber falling upon him at the PaintCreek ferry near Chillicothe. Hisremains lie in a little family cemetery overlooking the farm.
Thesmallest State park in Ohio is Renick Memorial State Park, only a few yards inlength and width. The monumentcommemorates Felix Renick (1770-1848), an early Ohio livestock raiser whoinaugurated the overland route to Eastern livestock markets in 1804 by drivinghis herds over Zane's Trace to Baltimore and other cities. Renick was the first American to import(1834) full-blooded Shorthorn cattle from Europe, and held the first public saleof the breed in this country not far from the park site.
