Bob - But You Are Trying And That Is Important!!!
Yes - I agree Mary RUTHERFORD shown along with William RUTHERFORD in the 1850 Blount Co., Alabama Census Records could be a daughter-in-law.Usually the Census Taker would put in Wife or Daughter-in-law on a Census Form.In checking several pages of the documents it does not appear this one made that delineation.
ITEM:Mary {?} RUTHERFORD was 25 years younger than William RUTHERFORD, b ca 1795, as shown in the 1850 Census.
ITEM:Mary {?} RUTHERFORD shows in 3 different Census Records i. e., 1850 as 30, 1870 as 51, 1880 as 62.All 3 records show b South Carolina.
ITEM:Genealogists accept that as a "Proof" one is dealing with the same individual.
NOTE:The fact Mary RUTHERFORD, Age 30, appears before James, Age 19, indicates she had a more personal relationship with William RUTHERFORD, Age 55, as James is listed along with the other youngsters.
The fact the Blount Co., Alabama Marriage Records for 1844-1853 have been lost takes away one Verification Source.
ITEM:The designations of "Mother" {Mary RUTHERFORD, b SC} & "Brother" {Mace RUTHERFORD,b ALA} to William RUTHERFORD in the 1880 Census is important as it establishes a Family Connection.
The designation of "Uncle" {Mary RUTHERFORD, Male} in the 1910 St. Francis Co., Arkansas Federal Census is also important as it too establishes a Family Connection to Malinda RUTHERFORD m WALTERS.Your research of 3 Census records indicates Malinda could well have been b ca 1850.
NOTE:For the record the name on the 1850 Federal Census of the month's old girl was transcribed MATHERLDA by Ancestry.com and I transcribed it as MAHALDA.That we will never know what the Census Taker heard is for certain.It is to your own choice.
ITEM:Mary {?} RUTHERFORD, b ca 1818/20 in SC {"Proof" - 3 Census Tabulations} continued to have children i. e., Sarah L. RUTHERFORD b ca 1854 and Mace/Macy RUTHERFORD, b ca 1857 after the 1850 Census.

Are you suggesting she married another RUTHERFORD man?
Are you suggesting there was not a "Family Relationship" between William RUTHERFORD, b ca 1795 and Mary RUTHERFORD, b South Carolina of the 1850 Blount co., Alabama Census Record?

As I stated Genealogists no longer accept "Preponderance of the Evidence" and have done away with "Circumstantial Evidence" in the acceptance of Lineage Data.
But both entities are acceptable to use in further research as Guide Points.
Only if the Lineage Data meets the criteria of "Proven Beyond A Reasonable Doubt" is it accepted.
The Blount Co., Alabama Courthouse, as I mentioned should have a Administration on the Death of William RUTHERFORD, b ca 1795, if he died in the County, and other data that may well tell the story.
I've been in a lot of Courthouses and have dug thru their dusty environs.I can tell you for sure Genealogy is Expensive.
