Dear Mr. Hill:
		Your letter received and I am very sorry
indeed that I am very little able to give you much infor-
mation on the subject asked for.
						My grandmother
Anderson's father was Robert Renfroe, he was mustering officer
of Roane County, his wife was Catherine Coulter.  The
Renfroe's always claimed, through the ancient Scotch
baronetcy of Renfroe, kinship with the Royal Family of Eng-
land, and one of the titles of the Prince of Wales is
Earl of Renfroe, when the Prince Albert of Wales
traveled in America he traveled under that title, the Earl
of Renfroe.  My D.A.R. membership comes through the
Browns and McElwees and not through the Renfroes.  Aunt Sallie
Patton can give you the kinship to Mrs. Tarwater.  Mrs.
Howard, Mrs. Tarwater's mother, was a cousin of my grand
mother.  I can remember my grandmother telling us when we
were children of the noble ancestry of her house and
she knew the line of descent but do not know now whether
any one has kept it, would like very much to have it.

I am sorry I cannot give you more definite information.

	Very sincerely
		Amanda Neal Wheelock
