Good Morning & Thank You
Right now I am just trying to help place your James RUTHERFORD, b 1791 Va., on the ground in an area around Knoxville, Knox Co., TN.
You know he is married with 3 Children i. e., Mahaley, William and Mary "Polly" RUTHERFORD, b March 1813, 7 months before a James RUTHERFORD enlisted in the War of 1812 in Knoxville, Knox Co., TN.As a "Father" he probably is not out roaming the countryside with 5 mouths to feed but rather working the countryside for food and in a Family Living Arrangement.
There are RUTHERFORD Families in 3 locations in the general area and in that time frame:Greene {Elliott RUTHERFORD}, Cocke {John RUTHERFORD}, Knox County {William & Absolom RUTHERFORD}.
It is going to take awhile for me anyhow as the necessary information is not at my fingertips so I need to order in the films.Then too your Library may have a Lending Agreement with the Tennessee State Library.
The last resort is a "Letter Listing The Circumstantial Evidence That Proves Beyond A Reasonable Doubt Your James RUTHERFORD, b ca 1791 VA Is The Son Of".
