First I want to thank Craig and Dianne for the excellent history lesson of our family.Second, when my aunt visited Scotland several years ago, going to the area where the family originated, she was told that the family belonged to the Clan Hume which was a political clan as opposed to a family clan.When John Rutherford and family came to the colonies on the Warwicke in 1621 they were listed as Jacobites and I understand their way was paid by the English government.
I did subscribe to the Hume Family Newsletter but found nothing of interest so dropped it.
