Thank You George for you response. There were a lot of related Renicks in Missouri but the Thomas Renick you are referring to was from Lafayette Co. Missouri and fought for the 1st Missouri, not Company H of the 34th Mississippi. Thomas J. Renick of the 34th Mississippi was a citizen of Tippah County Mississippi, not Lafayette Co. Missouri. However these 2 different groups are very distant kin. Thanks, Keith Renick
