Elizabeth SAUNDERS & John RENNIE Family
 Descendants of Elizabeth Saunders and John Rennie

Generation No. 1

1. John1 Rennie was born May 1829 in Scotland. He married Elizabeth Saunders December 31, 1849 in Scotland. She was born January 1829 in Scotland.

Notes for John Rennie:

Arnot is situated on Johnson Creek, four miles southwest from the center of Blossbur, and is the leading mining town in Tioga county and northern Pennsylvania. [Incorporated in 1866] the village of Arnot grew rapidly, school-houses and churches were erected, and soon there was a community with all the facilities in this respect that old villages enjoy. Quite a large proportion of the early inhabitants of Arnot were from Blossburg, Morris Run and Fall Brook; they had been at work at those places, and when Arnot "started up" they accepted positions and places under the new company, as it was then called. The Camerons, Dunsmores, Sullivans, Ryans, Dugans, Herons, Joneses, Davises, Eddings, Coles, Ellisons, Allens, Clearys, Harises and Logans had all worked at Fall Brook and Morris Run, while the ranks were filled by immigration from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Sweden, Germany and Poland, as in other mining regions of the county. To-day it is hard to find a miner who has been in this country twenty years who has not worked in the mines of Tioga, Bradford, Lycoming, Clearfield, Cambria, Blair, Westmoreland, Fayette and Allegheny counties, and in the hard coal region of Luzerne and Schuylkill. They are very fond of social and church organizations, and as a class are good musicians.
