New Castle News 4 March 1891 page 11

Martin Reno, of Shenango township, died Thursday morning at 8 o'clock. He attended the local election on Tuesday, February 17th, and took a slight cold that quickly developed into a violent attack of pneumonia. The strong physique that had borne the burden of 72 years was unable to resist the disease. Wednesday night it was realized that the end was near and the following morning he died.

Mr. Reno's long life has been passed in the vicinity of New Castle. Almost 50 years ago he married Miss Hannah Iddings. The old people talked recently of their half century of married life and were planning to celebrate their golden wedding. These conversations are now remembered with sadness.

The deceased was a man of wonderful physical and mental energy, and his massive frame was accompanied by a wonderful largeness of heart that endeared him to all. In connection with his many personal interest he always had time to devote to public and religious duties and was ever active in the affairs of his county and township. He was a deacon of the First Baptist church, of this city and for many years treasurer of the Baptist Association. In the erection of the beautiful new building now used by the congregation, he was the largest contributor and his perseverance added to the success of the work.

At the time of the dedication Mr. and Mrs. Reno entertained the congregation at the church with a sumptuous feast. A marked characteristic of his life was that he always accomplished whatever he undertook, and in this the determination of his true hearted wife was his support.

Some years ago Mr. Reno gave to each of his sons, $4,000, but the family estate is large. The heirs are Lafayette and Samuel P. Reno, of Shenango township, Joseph Reno, of Edinboro, Pa., and his daughter Josephine, now the wife of Prof. Charles Swift of Erie county.

The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Henry Madtes, of this city. Services will be held at the house at 10 o'clock Sunday morning and the remains taken to the Harmony Baptist church, where further ceremonies will be observed and the interment will take place.



He lived in days when entertainment and recreation was scarce and tough. Wrestling with no holds barred was a favorite. Han and another were hard at it when hw was in danger of losing an eye, so he bit the man's thumb off. The neighbor took it to court which was against the rules and Gr-grandfather was incensed over it. When the judge awarded the neighbor $5.00 to be baid then and there, gr-grandfather rolled off two bills, the judge said "no, Mr. Reno, I said $5.00", and gr-grandfather said, "that's for the other one, and I'll get it when I can."

He was the son of Lewis de Reynaud and Anne (Unknown). John married Susannah Thorn, daughter of William Thorn and Mary Peck, on 7-Nov-1737. John married Susannah Thorn, daughter of William Thorn and Mary Peck, on 17-Nov-1737 at Virgina. John Reno died on 21-Aug-1771 at age 56. He died in 1790. He died in 1806 at Washington County, Tennessee. He died on 14-Jun-1806 at Elizabethton, Carter County, Tennessee, at age 91.
      Family bible, as described in letter from I. A. Reneau (appendix in Guy Reno 1972) has name spelled as Reneau.

Born on the Patent of 1710 obtained by Lewis Reno from Clermont Chevalle, at the confluence of the Occoquain River with Broad Run in Prince William Co., VA. Was living there when Faquier Co. was formed out of Prince William Co. in 1749. Records of him living in Frederick Co. (NJ) in 1758 and 1760. (Reno Family Tree by Marshall H. Reno). On Mar. 5, 1764, he and wife Susannah "of Frederick County" sold land in Prince William Co. to William French, except 1/2 acre for the graveyard described as land left him by his father Lewis Reno (Prince William Co. Deed Book Q, pp. 147, 165). In 1764, John Reneau also transferred 600 acres on Patterson's Creek, Hampshire Co., VA with other transfers listed in 1769, 1770, and 1771.

Between 1784 and 1787, John Reno and nine of his children moved to Washington Co., which later became Carter Co., TN, and where he died. Family is described in detail in manuscripts on Reno family by Guy Reno and Sherman Reno.

The following was contributed by Daniel Seelye, [email protected]: JOHN RENO/RENEAU, removed to Tennessee Country with a number of his children and, during the State of Franklin controversy there between Colonel JOHN TIPTON and Colonel JOHN SEVIER, we find the following: "I hereby give public notice that there will be an election held the 3rd Friday in August next at JOHN RENNOE's near Sickamore Sholes where Charles Robertson formerly lived to choose members to represent Washington County in General Assembly of North Carolina...'." Colonel Tipton was, by his oath as representative of the North Carolina law in the Washington District of North Carolina, opposed to the treasonable act of establishing the State of Franklin which was being organized under Colonel, later General, John Sevier. As JOHN RENO had both Sevier and Tipton daughter- in-laws and this conflict had broken out into an armed one, John's situation must have been acute. However, as we see by the advertisement dated July 19,
1786, quoted above from Ramsey's "Annals of Tennessee", page 338, JOHN RENO must have sided with Colonel John Tipton, whose sister (or niece) was married to Reno's son Charles. "Sicamore Scholes" was on the Watauga River, near the site where the first cabin built by white men in Tennessee Country was erected in 1768. From 1787, John and Charles Reno/Reneau are found in the tax lists for Washington County, Tennessee (North Carolina). (East Tennessee Genealogical Magazine, Vols. 34, p. 126, and 35, p. 108, et seq.)

On 14 June 1806, John Reno made his will, witnessed by JOHN DUNLAP, WILLIAM LACEY, and SAMUEL TIPTON (son of Colonel John Tipton and husband of Susannah Reneau, daughter of the Reverend William Reneau, see above). In this will, he mentions his sons WILLIAM RENO, BENJAMIN RENO, JOHN RENO, GEORGE RENO, LEWIS RENO, FRANCIS RENO, THOMAS RENO, and CHARLES, who was residuary legatee, and daughters SARAH RODGERS, MARY CALVIN, MARGARET VANCE; CHARLES is named executor, (Original Wills, File No. 2, Office of County Court Clerk, Elizabethton, Carter County, Tennessee; Virginia Magazine of History, vol. 9, p. 12; Tyler's Quarterly, vol. 4.).

Some of John and Susannah's children moved into Pennsylvania and settled there.

He was also known as John Reneau. He was also known as John Renault. He was also known as Jean Reno.
John Reno purchased 293 acres of Land in Hampshire County, VA in 1761.

John Reno purchased 160 acres in Hampshire County, VA in 1762.
He sold land 600 acres on Paterson's creek, Hampshire County, VA.
Other transfers occuredin 1769, 1771, and 1771 in 1764. He resided at at Frederick County, Virgina, on 5-Mar-1764. He sold land to William French land which was bequeathe to said John Reno by his father Lewis Reno deceased except one-half acred which is the family grave yard. Recorded in Prince William County, VA on 5-Mar-1764.

      The Reneaus/Renos were French Hugenots who fled from the persecutions of the Roman Catholic Church after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes by King
Louis XIV of France, in 1685. We do not know exactly the section of France where the Reneaus lived prior to their emigration to England, but there is some evidence that the family of the Reneau emigre had lived in Paris at some time before they escaped from France. The name is found in early records spelled Renaud, Reynoud, Renoe, Renno, etc.

He was also known as Peter Raynaud. He was also known as Peter de Reynaud. He was also known as Pierre Raynaud. On between 1685 and 1687 Pobably went to England with his brothers Louis and Benjamin. His wife Sarah and their children probably joined him in the spring of 1688, having left France by the normal channels which required emmigrants to abjure Protestantism and take mass as Catholics.
On 19-Aug-1688 Peter Reynaud and his family were granted a Letter of Denization

These are the only Renauds/Reynauds listed as naturalized or receiving
denization in London in October 1688.
By the Act of 1708, all prior prerogative denizations were converted into
parliamentary naturalizations, retrospectively [Blackstone], and repel of this
Act in 1711 did not disturb the validity of these naturalizations which had
already vested under the previous Act.
