In Reply to: Re: ROUTLEDGE, Whitehaven,Cumb, Eng Port William, Wigtownshire,
Scotland by: Ernest Routledge
My grandfather, William Lynn Routledge, was also born in Carlisle, Cumbria,
but in 1888, son of Mary Alice Lynn and John Routledge. He came to America
(Ohio) when he was 21, telling his mother if he liked it he was going to
stay. He stayed and married a Mary Jane Cottrell (nee Johns) who was born in
Wales but met him in Ohio. I haven't found out much about the rest of his
family members, siblings etc. but the family had a bakery on the corner of
Brooke Street (I can't read the cross street on the photograph) not too far
from St Mary's Church, I think. Wherever they lived you can see the Castle
in the background on a picture of their street. My father took the pictures
when he was there during WWII and a friend of mine visited the bakery,
taking a picture of it, about 11 years ago. I think Mary Alice died and John
remarried (? ) a Nellie/Nettie Barstow/Barlow or something close to that.
The bakery obviously continued and they had possibly 3 sons, one being named
Gordon. I have been told of another Routledge bakery at another location but
not sure how, or if, this even fits into my family. I would be overjoyed if
anyone recognized any of this information. If I can be of help to anyone
researching Routledges I will be happy to.

I came Accross a Thomas Routledge B abt 1831 Ireland Living 10 Fletcher St
Newcastle Under Lyme Staffs Eng More Info if Relavent
Tom Routledge B abt 1837 Allonby Cumb
From the Wigtonshire website:
BEWCASTLE (BORDERS)
LANERCOST SCOTLAND
My ancestor Thomas Routledge and his wife Elizabeth Routledge (possibly
second cousins) were married at Bewcastle in 1785 and their nine children
were born in Bewcastle (Mary a twin was born in 1804 and was my 2x great
grandmother).
Thomas Routledge's parents were Henry Routledge and Margaret Tweedle and
they were married at Lanercost in 1759. Henry's parents are possibly
William Routledge and Grissel Routledge (possibly cousins) and they were
married at Bewcastle in 1704 (possibly). Margaret's parents were Thomas
Tweedle and Margaret Robson who married at Lanercost in 1721. The parents
of this couple are known to me as well.
Elizabeth Routledge's parents were George Routledge and Grace Routledge (I
do not know if they were cousins). George's father was possibly George
with mother unknown. Grace's parents were possibly Robert Routledge and
Mary Mawers who were married at Lanercost in 1737. Robert's parents were
possibly Archibald Routledge and Jane Nixon in 1716 at Bewcastle. Mary's
parents were James Mawers and unknown (likely married at Arthuret as Mary
was baptized there). The likely parents of Archibald and Jane Nixon could
also be noted.
Any connections? Thank you.

Hi Linda,
I have this in my files:
Source) Joseph Waddell's Annals of Augusta Co., VA., 1902. in Witchers
Sullivan Co., TN.:
Kin Nellie's father is identified as William Gamble, chief of one of the
Highland Clans. Goes on to say that George Rutledge was in possesion of a
large
estate in Ireland as well as his wife's interest as daughter of William
Gamble's. The information from this book does not give it's Source.
Father: William GAMBLE

While searching for information on the above I ran across
Gamble section in book "The Descendants of John Grier" it starts with David
Gamble of Graan b. 1679 son of Solomon Gamble and ?. He 5 children one of
which was William of Duross. He in turn had a daughter Magdalen who was
born near Enniskillen, County Fermanagh who married James Rutledge. I am
sure that this family is related to Nelly. Does anyone have any information
that will help me. I show Nelly's father as William but have no proof. If
anyone would like this chapter on the Gamble I mentioned let me know and
will send it as an attachment, it is in PDF format.

I am giving the Obit for my cousin Mal because his brother
Richard
Armstrong Rutledge III (who many of you know from this list, he was the
one who got us the Rutledge Tartan) is having computer problems. I will
try and give you additional Genealogical information about Mal, rhe
best that I can.
His Father was Richard Armstrong Rutledge II, his Mother Elizabeth
McKinlay, both parents were born in Scotland. His Grandfather was
Richard Armstong Rutledge and his grandmother Agnes Aitken, both of
them born in Scotland. His Great Grandfather Andrew Rutledge was born
in Ireland in 1846, his Great Grandmother was Jane Black, born in
Scotland. His Great Great Grandfather was also an Andrew Rutledge in
Ireland. We have a wall at that point. Cousin Richard participated in
the DNA test and to my knowledge we are still a branch on the Rutledge
Tree by ourselves. My cousin, my father and I all have the first name
of Malcolm, but my father was known outside the family as Scotty and
inside the family as Malcolm so I have always been called John.

NOTES:
In some cases you will find that the order is reversed with the first and
second children, i.e. the First-born son being named after the Mother's
father and the Second-born son after the Father's father. If this is the
case then the daughters are also usually reversed.
You will also find instances where a child is named 'out of pattern', after
an Aunt or Uncle who has died, or after an admired other relative or friend
of the parent.
These are only general guidelines and were certainly not always followed.

Greetings fellow researchers,
For many years I have shared my genealogical research with the folks on
the COWAN, WIGTON-WALKER, and SCOTCH-IRISH rootsweb lists. The trail
leads from Sterling, in Scotland, to Londonderry-Donegal in Ulster, to
Pennsylvania, the valley of Virginia, east Tennessee and points west. If
your
ancestors followed a similar path then some of these documents might be of
interest. I have searched for rare, out of print source materials as both
a
hobby and an obsession and have offered to make copies for people from time
to
time. Because of a busy schedule I will only be able to do so once a
year. I have added two new items since last time and they are described with
the
others below beginning with the most recent history first:
Castle's Woods: Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799, a thesis
presented to the Faculty of the Department of History, East Tennessee
State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree
of
Master of Arts, by James W. Hagy, 1966, 150 pages.
This covers the families who settled in Russell and Scott
counties, Virginia when it was considered the frontier. Contains
information on specific families as well as the farmers, speculators,
artisans, and
preachers who resided there. Lots on the Indian battles that were a daily
feature of life on the frontier.
Tthe Tinkling Spring: Headwater of Freedom, A Study of the Church
and Her People, 1732-1952, by Howard McKnight Wilson, 1954, Fisherville,
Virginia, 542 pages.
The BEST source of information on the Scotch-Irish of
Augusta/Rockbridge Counties in Virginia. Includes the Baptismal Records
of
the Rev. Craig. In-depth study of the early families of the Shenandoah
Valley.
Rockbridge County, Virginia Notebook, Compiled from articles by Dr.
George W. Diehl as published in the News-Gazette, Lexington, Virginia.
Compiled by A. Maxim Coppage, McDowell Publications, 1982, 242 pages.
"In many instances information may be found showing where
families originated in Scotland or Ireland, the places lived before settling
in Rockbridge County, Virginia area and relationships between the various
clans
or as Mr. Diehl so aptly named this phase of pioneering, "A ROCKBRIDGE
SEED-BOX"
This document is almost 100% pure family history and genealogy.
The Rev. Samuel Houston, V.D.M., by George West Diehl, 1970, McClure
Publishing Co. 125 pages
History of the early Virginia Presbyterians through the life of the
Rev. Samuel Houston, kin to Sam Houston of Texas fame.
A Tribute to the Principles, Virtues, Habits and Public Usefulness of
the Irish and Scotch Early Settlers of Pennsylvania, Chambersburg, Pa.
Printed
by M. Kiefer & Co. 1856, 171 pages.
From the preface the following: "The writer of the
Tribute contained in this work, had long desired to see from the Historical
publications in Pennsylvania, a vindication of the character and principles
of the
Irish and Scotch early settlers of this great state and their descendants
against reproach, as well as aspersion, cast upon them in some modern
publications having pretensions to Historical accuracy...
The Scotch-Irish in the Colonies: 1750-1790: A Thesis Presented
for the Degree of Master of Arts, by Kathryn R. Aiken, A.B., The Ohio State
University, 1933, 91 pages
Chapters include: By way of Introduction, Early
Settlements, Daily Life on the Frontier, Educational and Religious
Activities, Military
Pursuits, Political Participation and Conclusion. Like Hagy's Castle
Woods thesis it has a wonderful bibliography, the most important part of any
research document.
The Laggan and its Presbyterianism and In the Days of the Laggan
Presbytery, 1905, 1908, by the Rev. Alexander Lecky, B.A., member of the
Royal
Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson and McCormack, 54 Kings
St.
211 pages
On our recent trip to Donegal we met J.B. Shannon, age 90,
who assisted in the 1975 reprinting of this book. He is the last living
person who had anything to do with these books and he says they are still
the
BEST source for Ulster Presbyterian research. From Lecky the
following: "The lists of names of former generations of Lagganeers, and
their places
of abode, that are given in the Appendixes, and which NEVER before appeared
in
print, whilst they may of necessity prove dull reading to those who have no
acquaintance with the locality, will not, I hope, be altogether
uninteresting
to those who bear the same name, or live in the same places....
A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defense of Enniskellen in
1688
and 1689, with Historical Poetry and Biographical notes, by the Rev. John
Graham, M.A. Rector of Magilligan in the Diocese of Derry. Includes the
Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim and the siege and Capitulation of
Limmerick by Lord McCaulay, Toronto, 1869
The historical poems are family genealogies about those
who were at Derry and where they came from. Along with "Fighters of
Derry"
these two sources contain more actual genealogical information than any
others
I have seen.
Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, being a Chronicle of
Events in Ireland during the Revolutionary period, 1688-1691, by William
Young,
Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, 350 pages.
One of the most difficult sources to locate. (WorldCat
Inter-Library lists seven known copies) Months worth of reading and
packed
with great genealogy. Contains the following biographical sketches:
1. The leaders of the County Associations who, with
their levies, took part in the preliminary operations and contributed much
of
the man power for the Defence.
2. The Apprentice Boys and those responsible for shutting the
gates on the 8th Dec. 1688.
3. The actual Defenders during the 105 day siege ((over 12000
genealogical sketches)
4. Those engaged in the relief of the city.
Three Hundred Years in Innishowen, Being More Particularly an Account
of
the Family of Young of Culdaff with Short Accounts of Many Other Families

Plenty of Rogues to go around for sure. One
Rutledge in Red Gauntlet was a
night time ship captain who smuggled booze and other contraband,
including
people on the run, to avoid paying duties and taxes.
To balance the smuggler out, one Rutledge was a Sheriff who
arrested an
Englishman named Hepburn for non payment of rent to a Scottish
landlord, but
the all English judges promptly let him go. Guess justice wasn't
so blind
after all, nor equal..
I just heard from Sean who has a current Rutledge in Scotland who
said
families there about pronounced and spelled their names Rutledge.
Appears as
we suspected that the original name was dragged through several
knotholes
until it took it's present form.<grin
You have given us enough to keep us busy quite awhile Richard, if
we were to
track down every review and every instance. From your findings,
it seems
clear they were there in the 1400s, and likely there in the 1200s
or even
much earlier.(Caledonians?)
I agree the name seems more Scots than Anglo, but historians said
they were
neither, so I'll accept either.

Subject: [RUTLEDGE] Rutledge origin
Cousins,
The Book Surnames of Scotland ( 1st printing 1948)
( there origin, meaning, and history)
By George F. Black, Ph.D.
(1866-1948)
Routledge, Rutledge, Bardsley and Harrison say this
name is from
Routledge in Cumberland, But I cannot find the place. It is
not in
Sedgefields place-names of Cumberland and Westmorland. The
surname is
more english than Scottish, though several of the name are
early found
north of the Border. Several early notices of the name in
connection with
Hawick are given in The Scotts of Buccleuch. Symon
Routledge and his son
Mathew were charged with spuilzeit of certain goods in 1494
David Rotheluche was bail to James Douglas of Carver in
1512
Martin De Rotheluche, A Scot was, was procurator of the
Scottish Nation
in the Universityof Orleans in 1537 and again as De
Rotheluge in 1558
Lancelot Rutlitch in Appiltrielews, 1643
Armstrong gives the following
old forms of this name. Routelych, Routleche, 1516
Routlagh, Routlege
1512 Routlisch 1495 Routlouge, Rowlische, Routlug,
Rowtledge, Routluge,
Rutlegs, Rouchligis and Rowteleges
Mr George Black considered it a Scottish Surname. That is
good enough for
me.
I have several references to the fact it is considered a
Scottish name.
Although at this time I can not find them. I can not find
any recorded
dates regarding the name in England. Legend has it that
Symon Routledge
and his Son Mathew were caught stealing sheep.
If you go to the Hall of names on the internet. You will
find that it is
coinsiderd a Scottish name. Also you will find Rutledges
that were
Professors for Edenbourgh University. You will also find
more references
to some of The Rutledges being Thieves. They also describe
the Rutledge
lands in Scotland. Also it indicates that they had a
Scottish Coat of
Arms.
Keep in mind most names can not be tracked any further than
the 11
century. Which is the 1200s The Normans kept track of
familys for tax
purposes after they conquered England. The Rutledge name
can not be found
in these records. The Rutledge name was found in Scottish
court records
of 1494 that is quite a long time ago. Columbus had just
discovered the
new world.The Rutledge's went into England and stole Cattle
and what
ever. The English went into Scotland several times trying
to catch them.
Of course they failed. The Rutledge's had men stationed as
lookouts and
lit fires warning the Rutledge's of the English. I found
this most
interesting. When the Rutledges would escape from the
English they took
there thatched roofs with them. And simply put the thatched
roof on
hidden buildings with walls only. The thatched roof had a
life time of 50
years. I thought they were good for no more than one year.
You can
purchase a thatched roof in this country for avearage home
for $35000 and
up.
Well this E-mail will trigger your brain and you can do
research on your
own.

Hi Don
How's it hanging ?
I'm not sure about this clan thing, it seems we Routledges were
never officially a clan when they were in fashion so why start
now ?
Its also widely reckoned that we were more English than Scotts
Anyway I'm game for a laugh
I had an email today from a Routledge who lives in Haltwhistle
which is very close to where we came from on the border, he
confirms that his name is pronounced Rutledge in the local
dialect and that his grandad told him of the Duke of Cumberlands
rescue of Routledges, instead of being hanged he had them sent to
Ireland and America as long as they remained Protestants.
I hear there are quite a few Routledges in Hawick which is
actually North of the Scotish border, I have a CD with the
current electiral roll on it so I'll look some more up
Hope you are well cousin Don

Hi Cousin Sean. Happy you are setting in.
What do you think about becoming a Clan?
In your opinion, to your knowledge, do we have cousins in
Scotland near the
homelands who might be willing to support this proposed project?
IMHO, all Rutledges by all spellings should not only be included
as members
of the Clan, but also be active participants.
Cousin Don

Subject: Rutledge Society Bylaws
Don Kelly and Cousins,
The bylaws for the formation of the Rutledge Clan Society
have been
created and have been sent to my relatives for glaring
errors. Then I
will submit them to you. For the purpose receiving your
comments. Plus
you will have to determine if we should continue. This will
be a non-
profit organization. Money will be collected so as to run
the Clan
Society. It is my opinion that the Society be formed in the
State where
the treasurer will live. Or in the State that has the most
Rutledge's.
Probably in the Carolinas. I should think that those
leaders of the
current Rutledge list be considered for officers of the new
Rutledge Clan
Society. As far as I know and understand a woman may be
Chief of the
Clan. Although I do believe the world should be run by men.
HA,Ha We
will need a nominating committee to seek volunteers for the
Clan Rutledge
Society offices. These officers should be Americans. We can
have honorary
officers from other Countries Such as Sean Rutledge. We
could use his
experience and suggestions.
Respectfully
Richard Armstrong Rutledge

Hi Cousins,
Just reading the proposed bylaws and I agree
we should uphold the
traditions of the Scotch. But... what of those that made their
homes in
Ireland or England before emigrating elsewhere.
For instance, my 8th great grandfather, Andrew Rutledge was b.
either on
28 July 1661 or 12 Dec. 1670 (two different sources state two
different
dates, go figure.) Andrew was b. in Glasgow and m. Elizabeth
Brown (nee
could be Broun.) I have not found when Andrew and Elizabeth might
have
settled in Ireland or any marriage sources. Andrew and Elizabeth
had
five children who were named George (my direct), Andrew R.,
Henry,
Edward and Lelas. The only info I have on the children is my 7th
ggrandfather George who was b. 1690 in Co. Tyrone, Ire. By at
least 1768
my direct line had started a new life in Va.
I uphold to the highest esteem my Scotch roots (someday I will
gather up
enough time to research my Clan Gunn and Clan Graeme/Graham
lineage) but
as I also have many lines that settled in Ireland I had to honor
them as
well.

Michael,

Hi, Karen.
I can't remember whether I ever got back to you! Life
has been hectic for that last few weeks ( we've just packed
out daughter off to Brazil for 6 months so there was a lot of
running around, etc.!)
Anyway, I was doing a bit of "tidying up" in
my email inbox and I came accross your post again. I've been
talking to my aunt who is now in her 80's, and born in
Carlisle, and she says she was related to a John Routledge
and they were bakers - so looking at your references I began
to get a bit interested!!
If I haven't already passed this on, here is the
Routledge geanealogy that I have so far (and apologies if I
HAVE already sent this to you!) :-
William Routledge b. circa 1828, Hayton, Cumberland.
He married (no date or name of wife YET!) and had a
number of children.
He was a Corporal in the Royal Artillery and served
abroad at least once, including a tour of duty in Bermuda.He
retired from the Army and became a railway signalman.
From the 1881 census I have calculated his
children thus:
Mary Jane, b.1855, Gosport, Hants
Amelia (referred to as "Cassie") b.1861,
Bermuda
James, b. 1864, Gosport, Hants
Richard, b.1868, Hayton
Emma, b.1870, Carlisle
Susan, b.1871, Carlisle
Jacob, b 1873, Carlisle
In the 1881 census the family (except Mary Jane) were
living at 2 Howe Street (not a million miles from your ref.
to Brook Street!)
On the 1901 census I have found a reference to William
now living in Caldewgate and a number of the children living
nearby and in the Botchergate area. I'll have to by some
census vouchers and explore more of the documents!
I'm also intending to go back up to Carlisle in the
Spring and go rooting about in the cemetary and the records
office, to see if I can get any more info., perhaps from the
memorial inscriptions.
My connection with the family is through Mary Jane -
she is my G-Grandmother.
I have been in touch with another "Routledge"
hunter, we'd thought there was no connection but it seems my
William may be brother to her "Richard" - if that
pans out I'll let you know!

I'm still trying to find out about my g-g-grandfather William
Routledge, who appears on the 1881 Census as living at 2 Howe
Street, Botchergate, Carlisle. His birthplace is listed as
Hayton, Cumberland and he was probably born around 1828,
calculating from his date given on the census form. In 1881
he was listed as retired from the Royal Artillery, and was
currently working as a railway signalman. No wife is listed
on the census return (deceased or just absent?), but there
are a number of children with various birthplaces: Gosport,
Carlisle and Bermuda!
If this rings bells please get in touch - I can't get back

Had a break for a while, but back on the list again!
Still looking for information on Mary Jane ROUTLEDGE. I
visited Carlisle a couple of weeks ago and found out a little
more:
Her headstone in Carlisle Cemetary syas she died 12/Apr/1923
and suggests she was born in 1855. The 1901 census has her
married to Edward MEYERS in Carlisle and lists her place of
birth as Gosport, Hampshire.
Her father was William ROUTLEDGE, who served in the Royal
Artillery. Due to his postings his children have a variety of
birth places: Mary Jane and her brother, James, born in
Gosport; several siblings in and around Carlisle and her
sister Amelia, born in Bermuda!
I'd like to find Mary Jane's exact date of birth and any
details about her mother, who's name I do not know.
If anyone can help I'd be grateful!

When I informed you that
Routledge was first recorded in 1494AD at Hawick
Scotland. I should have informed you how to pronounce
Haywick. If your in

Richard & Julie,
When I first began looking for Rutledges 8-10 years ago I
read anything with
the Rutledge name attached.
One of the books "I think" was called "The
Ulster Plantation System Under
James the First" It was primarily background
information of the Scots move
to Ulster. Good information for genealogist. The
only reason I was
attracted to the title was the mention of a Rutledge as
one the authors or
contributors. I believe the man's name was Paul
Rutledge and he may have
taught at Oxford. My memory may to have slipped.
I'm not positive of the
title, but I think Paul was the Rutledge name. I got
the book through a
local library, but they had to get it from one of the state
research
libraries. Anyway, I'll see if I can find it again and
send the title if
you would like to read it.
The descriptions of the move and treatment of the people
helps me to
understand why the Scots and Irish came to America. I
think the Ulster
Plantations along with the border disagreements in Scotland
had an impact on
why Scots and Irish in America didn't support a strong
central government.
This was never mentioned in any class I took while in school.
The best
educational experience I have had is looking for
Rutledges. My
understanding American/European history and my opinions have
changed. Those
elusive Rutledges gave me an opportunity that I did not
expect. I now enjoy
research. I did not enjoy research when struggling as
undergraduate and
several graduate programs.

The brake up of the Border Clans was tried by the English and
the Scots
with out success. It was very successful under King James The
first. His
mother was Queen Mary. Her son James was the the fifth
King of Scotland
and King James the first of England. He was known as the
united King. It
was he whom tricked Johnie Armstrong into thinking he was
coming for a
visit. Instead the King had a small Army and captured John
Armstrong with
50 of his top men and hung them on the spot. This was the
beginning of
the Border Clans being broke up. As the Armstrongs were the
largest Clan.
King James lured 500,000 protestant Scotsman to go to
northern Ireland.
Although most of the border Clans of that time had no
religion. This is
the same King James that had the bible translated. This took
place during
the 1600s. He was also the one that created the union jack (
the Uk Flag
) If you look closely you can see the St Andrews Cross
I must say you
are correct Queen Elizabeth started the plantations and the
brake up of
the Border Clans

Edward Rutledge & Elizabeth Hillock Bef 1767
I'm not sure how this ties in, but-----
I have Edward Rutledge born circa 1850. One source says in
Scotland, another
says Ireland, near Aughnacloy.He married Elizabeth Hillock,
bornabout 1755.
One of his sons, Hugh (my direct line) was born 30 May 1775 and
died in
Kinawley 27 August 1826. He married Elizabeth
Brompton (Sp ?), they had two
children, Ann and Nancy. Elizabeth died in Kinawley 24
November 1799.
Edward then married Elizabeth Nixon. They had a large
family. My records
say 15. After he died in1826, most of the family, plus a
fewElliotts, moved
to Ontario, Canada.
On the LDS website, a man named Robet Blair, of Mesa, Arizona,
put in a lot
of info about this family, some of it at variance with my

questions: I have banged around quite a bit in Hawkins and
adjacent counties, looking mostly for Owen and Rutledge, but also
scrounging for other related families.
1) I found a bunch of Armstrongs who were slave owners
in VA and TN.....at one point I found an Armstrong cemetery at a
horseshoe bend in the Holsten river. I could again find it on a
map if I had to.
2) Along the way I found the town Rutledge. None of us
know who founded it, but the people in Rutledge say it was
founded by a General Rutledge from Virginia. How does all of this
fit into your records,......or does it fit at all?.

RUTLEDGE, THOMAS
Tried for stealing; sentenced to tranportation for 7 years: at
Old Bailey 1770 Dec 18 Pardoned to serve on a ship of war Y-27
(3:158)
But see Coldham, V. 1 (under Thomas Rutlidge)
From Preface page ii
...The researcher should determine whether further volumes of Mr.
Coldham's work (covering areas of England outside London) have
appeared, as they would no doubt include information on the
transportation to America of many other defendants, as well.
For most crimes there was a mandatory sentence of death, but this
sentence was frequently mitigated (commuted) to transportation to
the American colonies either for seven or fourteen years, or for
life.
Ocassionally, young men were forced into military service,
instead. Two reference numbers are given for use of researchers

Dear Donna Smalley,
In November of 1998, Sean Ruttledge, our "cousin" from
England sent to us a
transcript of the Archbishop of Glasgow's infamous curse on the
Reiver
families of the Borders. That includes Rutledges,
Armstrongs, Nixons, and
others.
The Bishops Curse
Since the Bishop was Roman Catholic, Sean suggested
his curse might explain
why most Reiver families became Protestants! (If you are
interested in how
his family came to have two t's in their name, you might check
his home
page.) You also might want to read about the Reivers - it
will help you
understand why the Archbishop was so "ticked
off." The fifth paragraph into
this transcript explains the extent of the curse - which we on
this list
have chuckled about
for the past year. Sean, by the way, actually sent a letter
to the current
archbishop (or his counterpart) and asked to have the curse
rescinded and
that it be replaced with a blessing. So far, nothing!
I guess. We haven't
heard much from Sean lately, so maybe HE has been
rescinded! CBR

The Maledictioun that lichtit apon Olifernus, lieutenant to

God, and
deliveris thaim quyk to the devill of hell, as the Apostill Sanct
Paull

of
baptissing allenerlie (only); and forbiddis all kirkmen to
schriffe or

I forbid all cristin man or woman till have ony company with

messis,
evinsangis, dirigeis or utheris prayeris, on buke or beid; of all
pilgrimagis and almouse deids done or to be done in halykirk or

pepill, enduring this cursing.
And, finally, I condemn thaim perpetualie to the deip pit of
hell, the
remain with Lucifer and all his fallowis, and thair bodeis to the
gallows of
the Burrow Mure, first to be hangit, syne revin and ruggit (then
ripped and
torn) with doggis, swyne, and utheris wyld beists, abhominable to
all the
warld. And their candillis gangis frae your sicht, ast mot their
saulis gang

thai
forbeir thair oppin synnys foirsaidis and ryse frae this
terribill cursing,
and mak satisfaction and pennance."

No George Rutledge from Ireland married Nellie Gamble. Their son
came to NC. If you check the Rutledge page that has one of my
working files on the Rutledge Families I think you will find what
you are looking for. Also John D. Rutledge has a lot on those
lines. Rachel Demaree Clemons
----- Hello, Rachel,
Info I have suggests otherwise. The Bible of Mrs. Nellie Rutledge
Davis of Crawfordsville IN says:
George Rutledge, b. in Scotland was a Presbyterian, a
dissenter from the Episcopal Church. He went from Scotland to
Ireland and there married Nelly Gamble. Their oldest son, William
was born in Ireland in 1728. William m. Elinor Caldwell. They
emigrated from Ireland to Augusta Co. (now Wythe Co.) VA ...
I don't recall whether it states where George was born, but there
is a section on the family in "Notable Southern
Families", vol. 5, pp. 26-31, Crockett family.
Best wishes,
Darryl
