at the time of my grandfather's death, his brother John Renard was listed as living in Essex, MO. My Greatgrandfather "Chalkie" Renard had children from his first marriage and later married a Minnie May Spradling who first married Albert Riddle, then chalkie, then a man with the last name Sherfield. Much of my Father's family was from Missouri. Any connection??? There was also a Henry Renard who was a brother to John, LT (THED) my grandfather, JR Sherfield-brother, and four sisters. We should compare notes! I find a little more everyday.
