Rutherfords in Canada
I am looking for connections toAgnes H. Rutherford b. 1885 - 1921. She married George Francis Howard, year unknown. They were my Grandparents.
They had three children: Bruce Rutherford Howard 1905 - 1983 (my father), Isabelle Howard b? - D?, and Dorothy Howard b. ? - 1983.
Agnes Rutherford was my Grandmother. I know that she lived in Toronto with her husband and three children and even have a street address of 171 Argyle Street.
George F. Howard (Agnes' Husband) was a horse trainor in Kentucky (He went back and forth from Kentucky to Canada).He died of appendicitis heading back to Canada.
The children Bruce, Dorothy and Isabelle were then raised by an Aunt and Grandmother in Chicago.
I know that my Rutherfords came from Scotland but I have no idea as to when they immigrated into Canada. I have been told that my family Rutherford has a connection to Rutherford Point/Bruce Peninsula and the establishment of this area, although I don't know the facts. I am told it was a logging area, settled my Rutherford's.
Agnes' Father George Rutherford died in a horse accident (run away horse)in one of the logging camps/Mills in the area.
Any info. would be appreciated.
