As with most COAs, different related families have different designs around a similar theme. |

This version is displayed by John Rutledge and adopted by most
Rutledge families in America. Instead of three clovers this one displays three stars, and the stag at the bottom of the battle shield. The accoutrements around the shield of both versions are unknown, but match engraved tombstones of Rutledges buried at St. Cuthbert's Chapel Cemetery near Bewcastle in Scotland, and near the ancient homelands of Routledge. |
Between Middle and East Marchs on the south side of the border find Routledge Bern, home of our Rutledge ancestors. North and south on both sides of the border find Armstrong. East find Gray and west find a couple of clans of Graham. These families were apparently neighbors for hundreds of years. |
