Renwick Family Settlement and Early Life at Rose Bank Farm
The Renwicks settled at Rose Bank Farm after Herbert Renwick bought 100 acres in Clarke Township in 1834 and built the house at Fourth Concession and Gravel Road. The area became Renwick's Corners as Herbert held 355 acres at the intersecting corners. The piece describes local road changes, family ties to the Presbyterian Church, Johnston connections, schooling for Johnston daughters, and farm operations including oxen, sheep, flax, and in-house shoemaker and tailor services.
