Bio

Paul Belew - Researcher
I am an eight generation descendent of Renney Belue and a descendent of his son Zachariah Belew. Then my Belew line goes to Samuel, Richard Aaron, Samuel, LeRoy, Hershel, and then to myself, Paul Belew. I was born and raised in Woodward, Oklahoma.

I have set up my Virtual Cemeteries by each generations, so you can easily search the generation you may be looking for.

When I became interested in my family history was in 1968, three months before my grandfather, LeRoy Belew, died. What small amount of information he was able to share with me before he died, gave me a start as to where to look next.

In late 2010, I published a book (538 pages), "Our Belew Line," for my family and especially my grandchildren and their children, where they would know about our family heritage. This book shows our family was rich in American History. With it written more as story from the documents and their time line, I feel you will enjoy reading about Renney Belue and his family.

I do not take full credit for all my information I have on my family and do give credit to many other Belue-Belew researchers who have shared their information with me. I thank Naomi Young, Tom and Eleanor Belew, Muriel Barnett, Billy Sherriell, Jere Cox, Jean Benz, Lill Steel, Jean Black, Ron Mitchell, and several more who were the early ones when the Belew/Belue Report, a quarterly newsletter, was started. The purpose of this group was to share our research in hopes of finding my oldest ancestor in the 1730s, Renney Belue's origian, which we labeled "The Renney Belue Mystery."
