SCHUYLER M. RENFRO, the third of the eight sons and four daughters of
Joseph and Sarah (Ralston) Renfro, was born December 4, 1824, in the
south part of Barren County. Joseph Renfro was born in North Carolina,
June 1, 1801, and was brought to Kentucky when but one year old; he was
a farmer and a son of John and Esther (Peak) Renfro, both natives of
Virginia.  John Renfro was of Scotch-Irish descent and a soldier in the
Revolution.  In an early day he set out for Kentucky, stopping at North
Carolina on his way; then continued his journey through the wilderness
to Barren County, and settled on Skagg's Creek; there he purchased and
improved a farm and became the owner of a few slaves.  Mrs. Sarah Renfro
was born and reared in Barren County, a daughter of Joseph and Sarah
(Wallace) Ralston, who were among the early settlers of Barren County,
and were of Irish descent. Her father was an extensive farmer and slave
owner.  Schuyler M. Renfro was reared on a farm.  At the age of nineteen
he commenced teaching, which he followed for about twelve years, and was
ranked among the best of that profession.  He was united in marriage,
January, 1853, with Sarah Peden, of Barren County, a daughter of
Thompson and Sarah (Wilkinson) Peden. One child was born to their union
- Alice Smith, who died in 1882; her mother died in 1855. Mr. Renfro's
second marriage took place December 25, 1856, with Susan B. Young,
daughter of John and Mary (Bowling) Young; she died April 8, 1875, a
member of the Christian Church, and the mother of three children:
Schuyler E., G. Y. and Mary Y. In August, 1880, Mr. Renfro married Mary
Wilkinson, a daughter of Lewis and Sarah (McPherson) Wilkinson. After
his first marriage Mr. Renfro continued teaching for several years; then
resided on Skagg's Creek for four years in mercantile business; then
moved to Roseville, where for three years he was engaged in the
mercantile business. He then returned to the farm, where he was
successfully engaged until 1875.  He then located at Glasgow Junction,
where he has since been successfully engaged in the goods business.  He
and wife are members of the Christian Church; in politics he is a
Democrat, but cast his first presidential vote for Gen. Scott.
