Samuel Tipton Reneau ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

He graduated from Greens Academy in 1822 and became a school teacher and Methodist minister. His first school was in a log cabin which William Thomas "Hatter Bill" Reneau had constructed as a sort of bunk house for trappers who arrived the last of November and remained until February when furs were no longer prime. Samuel converted it into a church with crude pews and held singings and church services there. It was first named Mountain Chapel but is now Foster's Chapel.
