Liz:since I last sent you a post I have been doing some digging into the Rutherfords in Canada and may have a tidbit for you.
There is another Rutherford/Oliver connection other than my line and though I haven't a lot of info on it here is what I do know.
Thomas Rutherford (1808 - 1899) married Robina Knox (??? - 1901)both are buried in Mountview Cemetery in Galt Ontario as are most of their children as follows...
1. Janet 1842 - 1915 married George Oliver 1828 - 1917
2. John K. 1846 - 1920 married Elizabeth Henderson 1850 - 1914
3. Thomas 1845 - 1886 married Robena Henderson 1846 - 1935
4. William 1849 - 1917 married Anne Murray 1853 - 1936
5. ??????? (no dates) married Edward Henderson - no dates
6. Ellen 1853 - 1928 married Robert Rae - 1838 - 1900
Other Olivers buried near Janet Rutherford and George Oliver are
> Thomas Oliver 1869 - 1924 & wife Cecelia J. Burnett 1871 - 1950
> Edward Oliver 1822 - 1894
> Robert Oliver 1842 - 1900
> Alexander Oliver 1880 - 1949
> Edward Sr. Oliver 1801 - 1845 & wife Mary Middlemus 1801 - 1888
It is very possible that Janet Rutherford and George Oliver had a daughter named Helen and maybe that is your connection.
Possibly?????
My Oliver line includes a Thomas Oliver married to Margaret Rutherford - completely different Rutherford family. In the 1871 census for Brant County, Burford Township,Thomas Oliver is listed as 45, born in the United States (1826) a farmer of Scotish origin, rel. CP.He died in 1907 and is buried in Mountview Cemetery in Galt, Ontario.They had 8 children;
1. Janet
2. Thomas
3. Adam - married Helen Hunt
4. Elizabeth - married Alfred Brown
5. Jane - married Sylvester Doran
6. Cassie - married Joseph Lowden
7. Margareta - married J.B. Moore
8. Mary - married John Reid
Would love to know if you have info on either of these two Oliver lines
My best always, Dale
