West Virginia
Hi!
My name is Kristen and I'm sorry for not posting this sooner-been very busy
researching and other stuff. I do have some information on my family but not a
lot. My maternal great-grandmother was Edna Ernestine Rutledge, born 1/25/1892
in WV, died 6/12/1972. She married Ottmer Childers, born 7/11/1890. Edna's
parents were Charles Lloyd Rutledge, died 1/31/1945 and Victoria Catherine
Proctor, born 3/17/1872, died 12/6/1925.
I know we have relatives in Charleston/Bluefield, WV. We have our
Childers/Rutledge reunion there every year in August.
I've just learned that there may be some conflict within my
immediate family
as to our Rutledge lineage. It seems that one family member has traced our
line to North Carolina. However, others in the family say that our line is
from a plantation in Wheeling, West Virigina. My grandpa says that he was
even taken there to see the homestead a long time ago (grandpa's 85). I may
have the spelling wrong because I haven't had a chance to look into this on
the internet yet. Just thought I would post to see if anyone else knows of
Rutlege's in that area.
Jump in and add to the fray.

Hi, There are so many named William I may not live long enough to sort
this
out. Family stories say his parents came from "the Carolinas" but I never
believe that source without real proof. Family ledgend said I had a gr gr
grandmother named Elizabeth.. She proved to be Sarah Ann and called Sally
only
thing that was right was her maiden name but that was a help. Thanks for
checking. I do appreciate it. Ginny
http://www.rutledgehistory.homestead.com/
On that page above is my family line. I don't have what paperwork/evidence the
researchers have that indicates that James Rutledge, Sr. was born in North
Carolina? How was that information gleaned? That is puzzling me, as well as
how it differs from what Grandpa said about the family having a plantation in
Wheeling, West Virginia, and him being taken there to visit it. I sure wish I
could get John D. to communicate with me, but I understand his health is not
good. Sigh.
What would you suggest I do now to get more information on this family as listed
on the below information which I found on the internet today?
******************************
You will see on this page that an early Rutledge Family was in West Virigina.
https://sites.rootsweb.com/~wvwags/settle.txt
The page states:
"In 1735 the first settlement was made on the South Branch of the Potomac by
four families of the names of Coburn, Howard, Walker, and Rutledge."
So, next question is where is the South Branch of the Potomac? LOL Please not
that this page is for the area around Wheeling, though.
So, Rutleges were some of the earliest settlers in Wheeling.
**********************************
And this page has a William Rutledge in Wheeling, West Virigina in 1810
https://sites.rootsweb.com/~wvwags/1810cen.htm
So, is William a brother or father of our James? Where did the rest of the
family go to by then? We know that our James was probably in Missouri in 1810,
did the rest of the family come too? Our James must have married in Missouri
because his wife was born in Missouri, so he probably came here at a fairly
young age.
Good Morning All,
Thank you Pat.
You may have helped shatter a wall.
The following story was told to me by Earl D. Rutledge on August
31, 1965.
Per Menter Pinkley Rutledge (Earl's Grandfather) was born on a
farm near
Bushnell Ill, Sept 24 1869. He was the son of Josiah
Rutledge and Christina
Mullneaux.
Josaoh had five brothers, and was brought to Illinois when he was
six years
old. He left two bachlor uncles back in West Virginia.
When P.M.P. (commonly call M.P.) was about 5 years old, the
Bushnell farm
was sold and the receipts deposited in the bank which soon
failed.. The
proceeds from the sale of the farm being thus lost, the Rutledge
family
visited relatives in Iowa, and finally movedto Missouri where
they bought
160 acre farm from the railroad for about $5.00an acre.
This farm was
located between Nettleton and Hamilton.
SN Charles Thorne
September 15, 1965
M.P married Aura Etta Dewolfe 8-27-1902 at nettelton MO.
M.P. is my grandfather.
More fill if there is interest.

Dear Jan, Good idea. Let me get my name near the top of the list!
Looking for Thomas Rutledge, born c 1802 in VA/WV, lived in
Hawkins Co, TN in 1830 & 1840 then in Bledsoe Co, TN from
1850-1870+. He died between 1870-1880 census, presumably in
Bledsoe Co, TN as his widow and youngest sons were still there in
1880. My line goes down through his son, Stephen W. Rutledge who
married Mary Massey in Bledsoe Co, TN in Dec. 1850. Kathye Hyde
now living in Florida but, first and always, a Missouri girl!

Will add more sheets later. Regards; Jack
I'm new to the mailing list. I have enjoyed reading
all the info about the
Rutledges. I am trying to find info on McHenry Rutledge. I
believe his
father was also named McHenry Rutledge. The info that I have
comes from
family members so I'm not sure it's reliable. My grandmother was
Edna
Ernestine Rutledge born Jan. 25,1892 at Pond Gap, WV. and her
father (my
great grandfather) was Charles Lloyd Rutledge born Oct. 17, 1869
at Pond Gap,
WV. His father (my g-g grandfather) was McHenry Rutledge who was
born Dec.
1837 in Giles County, Va. In my notes Mchenry was married to
Lucinda Jane
Caldwell b.Dec.26,1839 in Giles County, Va. I have a copy of
Lucinda's death
certificate. She died Jan. 8,1924 from pneumonia in WV. and is
buried at
Cedar Grove WV. I have Rutledge relatives everywhere but mostly
in WV ,
Ohio, Pa, and Va. I would appreciate any help anyone could give
me.
Thanks a bunch,
Shelia
I recently received from aunt who is 80 a number of family
group sheets for the following Franklin Rutledge and Malinda
Agnes Humphreys, John Rutledge and Margaret Williams, William
Richard Rutledge and Elizabeth Williams, James Enos Rutledge and
Eleanor Ralston, Edward Rutledge and Sarah Armstrong, Thomas
Rutledge and Jean Armstrong, George Rutledge and Nelly Gamble,
Edward Thomas Rutledge and Elizabeth Graem, John Rutledge, George
Rutledge, and Cavan Rutledge, Places are Scotland, Ireland,
Augusta Co. Va., Christchurch, S.C., Sullivan Co. Tn., White Co.,
Tn.,Washington Co., Tn., Montgomery Co. Tn., Spencer Co., Ind.,
Flagg Springs, Va., Table Grove, Ill, Fulton Co., Ill, and
McDonough Co., Ill.
I asked her where she got them and she couldn't remember all of
where she got them. I think a lot of it was when my Mother was
living her and my Aunt made a trip east for family information,
also he cousin Clifford Wilson who lives in McDonough Co., Ill.
is a devout Morman so a lot probably came from the LDS church,
and lastly my Grandmother had a very sharp mind and was a big
letter writer and very inquizitive, she died at the young age of
99 years 10 months. I was born and raised in McDonough County and
also spent time in Fulton County it is all very rich farm land.
Also I notice the Rutledge's belived in large familys. So I can
understand how they populated the United States far and wide. So
to all who are sick or going for an operation remember Rutledges'
live a long and proporus life. Regards; Jack

Jane:I only copied the outline, not the documentation as it is a very long list. William Richard Rutledge married Elizabeth William is Greenbriar Co., WV. the family migrated to Fulton Co., ILL. this is one of my Brick Walls. I believe that they came from Maryland but no proof. I have all kinds of documentation after they went to ILL. Part of the family went to McDonough Co., ILL. This is another reason I believe they came from Maryland. About the same time that William went to Fulton Co., ILL, another family, Peter Rutledge and wife Laura moved there from OH. Peter and Laura and some of their children moved to McDonough Co., ILL and that is where Peter died.
