That becomes the sensitive spot in my opinion Ron. The paper trail is only as good as what researchers can reasonably prove. In my case I have a paper trail proving my line back to Robert Sr and many of them are in plenty of legal documents to back up the claims, others there are just a few such as death, census and will documents. Since it is well known that John Rutherford became the heir to Robert Sr's estate it would need to be someone from that line I'd need to try and match. A few years ago Paulyne had a email from a John Rutherford that at the time still lived in Robert Sr's plantation home, however, after the one message to Paulyne he never contacted her again. Also I know of two Rutherfords that did the DNA testing and there was no match to the 12th marker and both can go back to 1800 with their lines.
Just so you and a few others might understand something, some dispute a lack of a marriage document to prove Robert Jr's marriage to Margaret Vawter, they married in 1687 according to a vestry record which is in private ownership ( that means you won't find it in a library ). I have three others in my line that I haven't been able to locate marriage records for either and they are William Sr, Julius and Jacob and all three are father/son family members born and married in Va, SOMEWHERE. My point to this is that I have one with no wifes name one who married a Rutherford, Rhoda< and the last who married a Elizabeth in Va. To be even blunter, these marriages happened after 1747 and I can't find documents on two them that have at least a first name.
