There is a Michigan State Census record of 1894 which shows the following:

1894 Michigan State Census
Page 327, Family 132
Superior Township, Washtenaw County, Michigan, United States
19 Jun 1894
Robert Renton..Husband..34..Farmer

Florence Renton..Daughter..2
Elsie Renton..Daughter..7m
Judith Warner..Mother-In-Law..59..Widowed..3/1

What is interesting is that the name of Robert Laurence Renton who is believed to have been born in 1892 is not included with the family. Instead there is the name of Florence Renton, born about 1892. It is known that Robert L. Renton lived well into his adulthood but if the name of Florence indicates that she was the same age, then either they were twins, or contrary to various source citations, Robert was born much later, or even perhaps, Robert belonged to a different family.
