s/o Major Lewis Reno lV and Elizabeth Whitledge
He was born 3 Apr 1757 in Prince William County, Virginia Colony, the son of Lewis Reno and Elizabeth Whiteledge. He grew up on his father's plantation there. Zeley became engages to Mary Lila Chinn, daughter of Charles Chinn and Synthe (Cynthia) "Seth" Davis, in 1774. In the court records of Fauquier County, Virginia is found documentation that each of their parents gave their concent. Zeley's father, for example, wrote, "Sir please to grant marrage lizen between Zeley Reno and Moley Chinn and oblige your humble servant. Lew Reno gargin."Mary's father wrote: Zeley Reno and my daughter Mary Chinn is ingaged. I desire you will grant him licens for them to marrey in so doing you will oblige your humble servant."26 July 1775, Zeley Renoe and his brother Thomas Renoe posted a marriage bond of 50 pounds in Fauquier County for Zeley's marriage to Marry. Zeley had inherited a small portion of his fathers plantation, 140 acres, when his father died in 1774. On 16 March 1784 Zeley sold this land to Simon Luttrell and moved to Kentucky, though at the time the area was a part of Virginia to land he claimed in return for his service during the Revolutionary War. His home was located possibly along the Green River near Cypress Creek. Anyway, we know that he lived near present day Cynthiana in Harrison County, Kentucky though it was then Fayette County which had been formed from Kentucky County, Virginia in 1780 and became Bourbon County in 1785. Thus, the area he moved to was still a part of Virginia. The state of Kentucky was formed from Fayette, Jefferson and Lincoln County, Virginia in 1792. In 1787, they sold their land in Bouron County to Thomas Whiteledge who was undoubtedly a relative through his mother Elizabeth Whiteledge. He evidently obtained other land in the county, because he appears in the 1810 Census of Bourbon County and the tax records of that year state that he owned 50 acres.
