I am not related to the Renner line, but may have some info you might find interesting.
I am researching possible connections between my Knoth lineage and the Groh and Kirschner families of Clay and Platte Co., Missouri.
Valentine Renner's mother-in-law, Eva Katherine Groh, was born in Minfeld, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany (which was Bavaria). She was christened at the Evangelische Church in Rheingoenheim, Bavaria.

Two Groh brothers, Christoph (Eva's father) and Johann Peter Groh immigrated to the USA via New York on 27 June 1843. On the same boat (the Baltimore) were several other German families that settled in Clay and Platte Co in the fall of 1843. Those families were.......Henry Brenner, Joseph Kirschner, John Kirschner, and your ADAM Renner!
When I was researching the church records in Rheingoenheim, I remember seeing the family names of Renner and Klamm as well.
I hope that some of this is helpful in your research as you try to trace them back to Bavaria.
Kind regards,

Thank you very much Kimberly!!
I am always happy to get new insights into my ancestors! I will happily add this data to my file and more importantly it gives me new target in old Germany to research my direct lineage!
Thank you

Have you done any research or know where the Adam Renner farm was?--

I am not related to this line but a historian for the township west of what was called the Adam Renner farm.--

I represent the township called Monticello--

The town of Monticello was along the Oregon-California-Utah Trail of the 1840-1870 and was the wagon stop west of Chillicothe.--

Chillicothe was a council house for the Shawnee Indians and was describe as being connected to the Adam Renner farm.
It was also described as being 3 1/2 miles west of Gum Springs (downtown Shawnee, Kansas)--

Renner Road and Ogg Road are streets in now central Shawnee, Kansas.--

Actually Ogg Road is the eastern border of the Monticello Township.--

Any information will be useful.--

Thank you,--

I am not aware of any research that has been done on the Adam Renner Farm in the area of Shawnee, KS. However, the details regarding the location of this farm could easily be researched in the County Property/Land Records at the County Courthouse.
