Biography

May Noble was born on 11 May 1878 in Iowa.2 She married John Renslow on 1897 in Deloit, Crawford County, Iowa.3,4 She died in July 1967 in Rocky County Osteopathic Hospital, Denver, Denver County, Colorado, at age 89 An unknown, probably Denver, CO, newspaper carried the following obituary:

Mrs. May Renslow

Services were held Tuesday at Olinger Mortuary, 16th and Boulder Sts., for Mrs. May Renslow, 87, of 4304 Winona Court. Burial was in Riverside.
Mrs. Renslow, a Denver resident for more than 51 years, died Saturday at Rocky County Osteopathic Hospital.
She was born May 11, 1880, in Iowa and married John Renslow at Deloit, Iowa, in 1897. The couple moved to Denver in 1915. Renslow died 12 years later [in 1927].
Mrs. Renslow was a member of the Fort Lupton, Colo., Church of the Nazarene.
Survivors include a daughter, Mrs. Lola Hall, Las Vegas, Nev., two sons, Cecil and Russell, both of Denver; a brother, Ray Noble, Baldwin Park, Calif., and five grandchildren.5


May Noble appeared on the census of 1880 in Elkhorn Township, Plymouth County, Iowa. May was born on 11 May 1880 in Iowa.4,3,6,5

May Renslow and John Renslow appeared on the census of 21 June 1900 in Precinct 28, Weld County, Colorado, which lists:

Renslow, John; head; white; male; born Sept 1866 in Illinois; age 33; married 2 years; father born in New York; mother born in New York; farm laborer; can read; can write; can speak English; rents home.

May; wife; female; born May 1880 in Iowa; age 20; married 2 years; father born in Illinois; mother born in Illinois; can read; can write; can speak English.

Bevin; son; white; male; born July 1899 in Colorado; age 10 months; single; father born in Illinois; mother born in Iowa.

Notes:
1. Bevin's age written as fraction, 10/12.



She and John Renslow appeared on the census of 1920 in Longmont, Boulder County, Colorado, which lists:

Renslow, John; head; owned home free; male; white; age 48; married; can read; can write; born in Illinois; father born in Pennsylvania; mother born in New York; speaks English; teamster; employee.

------- May; wife; female; white; age 39; married; can read; can write; born in Iowa; father born in Illinois; mother born in Iowa; speaks English; trade, none.

------- Cecil; son; male; white; age 10; single; attended school; born in Nebraska; father born in Illinois; mother born in Iowa; trade, none.

------- Russell; son; male; white; age 9; single; attended school; born in Nebraska; father born in Illinois; mother born in Iowa; trade, none.

------- Lola; daughter; female; white; age 7; single; born in Nebraska; father born in Illinois; mother born in Iowa; trade, none.

------- Donald; son; male; white; age 10 months; single; born in Colorado; father born in Illinois; mother born in Iowa; trade, none.

Notes:
1. Street name (Pratt Street) was difficult reading.
2. On John's line, the numerals 612 appeared in right margin.
3. Donald's age was expressed as a fraction, 10/12.
4. John's father's birthplace given as Pennsylvania. John's father was Horace Renslow, who was born in New York. Or was he? This branch of the family seems to have a tradition of being "from" Pennsylvania. I'd bet there are records in Pennsylvania just waiting for us to find them.7

Her Social Security Number was 521-32-2248 before 1951 in Colorado.5 She lived in 1967 in Denver, Denver County, Colorado.5

Thank you for your message. Following this reply is some info about May Noble O'Conner Renslow that cousin Larry Renslow provided from the 1920 Colorado Census.
According to the Social Security Death Index (SSN 521-32-2248), she was born on 11 May 1880 and died in July 1967.
I am also sending a copy of this message to a group of Renslow cousins, so perhaps someone else will have more information for us.
Yes, I would be glad to receive any other info that you have, especially relating to the Renslow line. I gather from your message that May Noble was married to an O'Conner before marrying John Renslow (my second cousin, three times removed)?

I don't know if she was married or changed her name. Her mother was in a mental hospital from 1902 till she died in 1957. May was the next of kin with a Denver Colorado address.

She was born May 11 1878 and had a twin brother Ray who died in 1973. He also changed his birth date. I have census records and Ray's son (my grandfather) birth certificate and Ray's social security app that lists his birth date.

May and her siblings never lived with their mother. They lived with relatives in Curtis and Stockville, Nebraska.

The last contact with May would have been in the 50's when she came to CA to visit my mom and her dad. I think the picture I have of her is with her twin Ray.

May's parents were William Noble and Dorcas Cole. She also had another brother William Noble born 1876. He was born in Illinois, but Ray and May were born in Iowa, around Dixon.

Instead of sending you all the info my tree is on Ancesory and gene circles. I know you are also.

I have goten the info for Mary Jane Shepard from it. The Coles, Bullingtons, Shepards, and Nobles seem to have married into each other.

I am also trying to find out about Mary Jane Shepard and her sister Elizabeth Shepard who married John Cole.

I just discovered another relative May Noble apparently married a Renslow and had a son Jack or Jock? Do you know anything about this?

Thought I would let you know that May Noble's twin brother Ray and his son can be found living with Rodger O'Conner and his wife Minnie Renslow in the 1930 census in Lincoln, Nebraska, Hall Precinct, District 17.

This is were someone has apparently come up with the name May O'Conner for her. She was never married to an O'Conner. It is more than likely that she lived with the O'Conner family too at some point. According to all the documentation I have on her twin Ray, her birth date is May 11, 1878. I have traced her and the remainder of my family (the Nobles) back to 1880. In the 1880 census May was 2, making it impossible for her to be born after 1880. Even her twin Ray's social security application states that he was born in 1877.

On one more age note: Her brother Ray also changed his birthdate, sometimes by as much as 10 years on census, marriage, and birth documents.

Hope this helps clear up the O'Conner and age items.

Kassie.

The following William Renslow obit, provided by David Eitzen, is from The Guthrian on 5 February 1925, complete with typos and mistakes verbatim.

William Renslow

      William Renslow, born in New York state April 29, 1852, died at his home in the Fansler [Guthrie County, Iowa] community Jan 24, 1925 at the ripe old age of 72 years, 9 months, 25 days. He came form [sic] New York state to Illinois and into Iowa with his parents and for many years had lived in the neighborhood of Fansler.
      He was married in Iowa in 1874 to Janett Green to which union one son was born, and in 1886 was again married to Rebecca Bunts [sic; actually Bunce], to which union three sons and two daughters were born, one son passing away at 8 years.
      Two [sic, actually three] sons and two daughters survive him, Will, Walter Myrl [sic], Emie and Ora.
      Funeral Services were held at Union church Wednesday Jan 28, at 11 a.m. and burial at cemetery near by.

David Eitzen further observed: Unless the Vedette [another newspaper in Iowa] ran some version of this (which I did not see one in the Vedette when I searched for obits), this was the way it appeared in the Guthrian on 5 February 1925. Obviously it wasn't edited ("form" Illinois?) very well, and the misspelling of "Bunce" is pretty bad, considering there are a bunch of unrelated Bunce families living in and around the area. Then there is the combination of Walter and Willis Merle; guess they wanted to stick to just 2 boys instead of 3 so they made Siamese twins out of them!6

Biography

William was born on 10 March 1869 in Illinois.1,2 He married Maggie Byington on 25 July 1925 in Mcminn County, Tennessee.1 William died on 10 July 1940, in Lamontville, Mcminn County, Tennessee, at age 71.1
William Renslow appeared on the census of 1870 in the household of Horace Renslow and Mary Jane Renslow in Fenton, Whiteside County, Illinois, which lists Horace Renslow, 30, born in New York; his wife Mary, 29, also born in New York; Viola Renslow [actually Cole], 5, born in Illinois; Johm, 3, and William, 1, both both in Illinois.2 William Renslow appeared on the census of 1880 in the household of Horace Renslow and Mary Jane Renslow in Elkhorn Township, Plymouth County, Iowa, which lists:
Renslow, Horace; white; male; age 35; married; farmer; born in Illinois; father born in New York; mother born in Vermont.
Mary; white; female; age 32; wife; keeping house; born in Illinois; father born in Penn; mother born in Penn.
John; white; male; age 14; son; single; at school; born in Illinois; father born in Illinois; mother born in Illinois.
Wm; white; male; age 12; son; single; at school; born in Illinois; father born in Illinois; mother born in Illinois.
Mira; white; female; age 9; daughter; single; at school; born in Illinois; father born in Illinois; mother born in Illinois.
Nathaniel; white; male; age 6; son; single; at school; born in Illinois; father born in Illinois; mother born in Illinois.
Minnie; white; female; age 3; daughter; single; born in Iowa; father born in Illinois; mother born in Illinois.
Cora; white; female; age 5 months; Jan; daughter; single; born in Iowa; father born in Illinois; mother born in Illinois.

Notes by Larry Renslow:
      1. Horace's line has check mark in "months unemployed" column.
      2. Both "single" and "married" columns left blank on Mary's line (or, I neglected to transcribe the mark!).
      3. Cora's age given as fraction, 5/12. "Jan" is month of birth.
      4. It's sometimes fascinating to look at the data and wonder who gave the information to the enumerator. Someone knew that Horace's family was from New York and Vermont, but otherwise couldn't get his parents' birthplaces right. Mary's parents from Pennsylvania? Probably that's the mysterious Renslow connection to Pennsylvania again, rather than Mary's family. This is the only record I know of that shows Nathan's name as "Nathaniel." Our unnamed informant knew that Horace and Mary were "from" Illinois, and thought they had been born there. A neighbor, maybe? I'd bet that the enumerator got all the local gossip, too.


William Renslow appeared on the census of 1885 in Garfield, Plymouth County, Iowa. He appeared on the census of 1900 in the household of Horace Renslow and Mary Jane Renslow in Precinct 28, Weld County, Colorado, Which lists (Extracted from 1900 US Census, population schedule, NARA Microfilm Series T623, Roll 130, E.D. 200; p. 12; House #211; Family #212. Enumeration date 21 June 1900. Colorado. Weld County. Precinct 28):

Renslow Horace; head; white; male; born May 1837 in New York; age 63; married 32 years; father born in New York; mother born in New York; farm laborer; can read; can write; can speak English; rents home.
Mary; wife; white; female; born July 1839 in New York; age 60; 2 children born, 2 living; father born in New York; mother born in Massachusetts; can read; can write; can speak English.
William; son; white; male; born Mar 1870 in Illinois; age 30; single; father born in New York; mother born in New York; farm laborer; can read; can write; can speak English.
Benj; son; white; male; born Oct 1883 in Iowa; age 16; single; father born in New York; mother born in New York; farm laborer; can read; can write; can speak English.

Notes by Larry Renslow:
      1. Mary's "two children, two living" appears to be number of children at home, rather than the expected total children.

Biography

Ward was born on 27 March 1857 in Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York. Note: The 1870 census summary apparently shows Pennsylvania as his birth state.1,2,3 He married Jennie Rachel Black on 1 May 1880 in Pittsville, Wood County, Wisconsin. Note: According to the 1900 census, they had been married for 13 years, which would have made the year of their marriage about 1887.1,4 Ward died on 10 March 1946, in Jamestown, Stutsman County, North Dakota, at age 88.1

Subject: Kelly Renslow, 1860 U.S. Census

Images Online, http://www.ancestry.com.

Enumeration date 18-19 June 1860. New York. Yates County. Starkey. Dundee Post Office.

Kelly Renslow; age 37; male; laborer; born in NY; cannot read or write.
Sarah Renslow; age 40; female; born in NY.
Levi Renslow; age 13; male; born in NY; attended school.
Wesley Renslow; age 11; male; born in NY; attended school.
H. M. Renslow; age 10; female; born in NY; attended school.
Abram Renslow; age 4; male; born in NY; attended school.
Philo Renslow; age 4; male; born in NY.
John C Renslow; age 1; male; born in NY.

Notes.
1. The first six members of the family are listed at the bottom of p. 795, which carried an enumeration date of 18 June 1860. Philo and John were at the top of the following page, which carried an enumeration date of 19 June 1860.
2. There's a tick mark resembling a back slash in the "color" column of each male.
3. In Kelly's "occupation" space, there's a check mark at the extreme right side, extending over the line between columns.
4. H. M.'s age, if accurate, should have resulted in her being present for the 1850 U.S. Census, which she was not, at least not in her parents' home. Her correct age was probably nine rather than ten in 1860.
5. Abram's age is given as four, yet he was shown as having attended school. Philo, also shown as four, apparently didn't attend school. My guess is, Abram was age six, not four, in 1860. This census page was clear and easy to read. I have no doubt that I've correctly read both Abram's and Philo's ages, both four.
6. This census extract, functioning as a "snapshot" of the beginning of the education revolution, shows us how times were changing. Kelly, the father, is illiterate, but all the kids of school age are in school.
7. This family moved a lot. At least five locations in New York before they moved to Illinois, if my data are accurate.

      1. In column for "Employer, employee, or works on own account," Ward and Leonard both have a W.
      2. In the margin after the end of Ward's line is the number 654. I don't know what it means.
      3. Ward is a gatetender at a "ry crossing." I take ry to mean "railroad," or perhaps, "railway."
      4. Could it be that Ward's father (Kelly Renslow 1823-?) was born in Pennsylvania?6
