Jeremy has Panamanian, German, English, Scottish, Swedish, and Irish ancestry. His maternal grandmother was born in Panama, with roots in Jamaica, and was of at least part black ancestry. He has a daughter with his former wife, Canadian model Sonni Pacheco. A picture of Jeremy with his mother can be seen here.
Jeremy’s paternal grandfather was named Oscar H. “Art” Renner (the son of Levi “Lee” Renner and Lucy E.). Oscar was born in New Jersey. Levi was the son of John F. Renner and Cecelia C. Godfrey.
Jeremy’s paternal grandmother was Ruth Ann Simpson (the daughter of John Shapley Simpson and Lillian/Lillie Mae Scheflen/Sheflen/Schleflen). Ruth was born in New Jersey. John was the son of John Simpson and Annie/Anne F. Rough. Lillian was born in Pennsylvania, to German parents, Sebastian Schoepflin/Sheflen/Scheflen and Marie/Mary Poinzar/Ponser/Poncer/Ponsar.
Jeremy’s maternal grandfather was Elmer Edward Tague (the son of Eldridge/Elbridge/Elmer Albert Tague and Ruth Eva Peterson). Elmer was born in Washington. Eldridge was the son of George Washington Tague, Jr. and Eliza Anne/Ann Cuppy, and had English and Scottish ancestry. Eva was born in Minnesota, to Swedish parents, Peter Person Peterson, from Hoerby, Skane, and Amanda Josephina Carlson, from Velinge, Vastergotland Province.
Jeremy’s maternal grandmother was Eleanor Adele Warren, later Warnock (the daughter of Frank Warren and Mavis Eleanor/Eleanore Hawkins). Jeremy’s grandmother Eleanor was born in Colón, Panama, to a father born in either New York City or Panama, and to a mother born in Colón. Jeremy’s great-grandfather Frank appears to have his “race” described as “Panama” in one record. Jeremy’s great-grandmother Mavis was the daughter of Frederick Hawting/Hawkins and Alrilla, who were from Jamaica. The 1920 U.S. Census taken in Cristobal, Panama Canal Zone lists Mavis and her parents as “black.” Mavis re-married to Samuel A. Warnock.
Jeremy is a fifth cousin, once removed, of actress Jennifer Lawrence. Jeremy’s four times great-grandparents, Robert Tague and Sarah/Sallie Caplinger, were also Jennifer’s five times great-grandparents.
