THOMAS B. RUTHERFORD.  One of the very earliest to locate in Todd County
was John Rutherford, the father of the gentleman who name introduces
this sketch.  He was born January 7, 1802, and in early life located on
land that now forms a part of the farm owned and occupied by Thomas B.
He afterward moved into the house where the latter now lives, where he
spent many years and where, on the 3d of March, 1857, he died.  He was
married, December 24, 1822, to Miss Jane Morrow, and reared a family of
eight children, viz.: James H. now of Logan County; Thomas B., the subject
of this sketch; Carrol B. (deceased); Ellen O., wife of H. H. Gordon;
Martina, wife of J. P. Kennedy; John W. (deceased); Emeline, deceased
wife of William Cheatham.  The mother of this family, Jane Rutherford
(nee Morrow), was born in Logan County, Ky., on the 12th day of December,
1797, and died in June, 1859.  Thomas B. was born January 4, 1825, where
he now lives, and on the farm that has ever been his home.  He has
devoted his life to the farm, and is now the owner of 600 acres of land.
He was first married in 1844, to Miss J. H. Knight, who died, leaving
two children: John B., and Phillip T. Rutherford.  He then contracted a
marriage with Miss Agnes Johnson, of Todd County, who soon after died
without issue.  His present wife was Miss Jane E. Gordon, which union
has resulted in the birth of three children, viz.: Elizabeth, deceased
wife of Edward Curd; William T. and Benjamin F. Rutherford.  Mr.
Rutherford is an enterprising man, of advanced views, and a member of
Daysville Lodge, No. 587, A.F. & A.M.
