Robert Carruthers of E. Pennsborough
b. 7 April 1690 Paisley Scotland
d. 1771 Cumberland Co., PA
Will names two children - John Carruthers and Janet/Jannet Carruthers Nailor
I have been told that the land mentioned in this will is the same land John
Carothers (wife Sarah ) left to his children in 1783 (will proved 1783).
Some of the land was left in John's son Andrew's will to his heirs.
I have seen a couple of different John Carothers (what ever spelling) listed as the son
of
Robert of E. Pennsborough, however if this land issue is the case does
anyone know if John who married Sarah Neely is indeed the son of Robert of
E. Pennsborough?
I am currently attempting to get copies of these wills and I hope find someone who knows
of land records in Cumberland Co.
Thanks

Ok, sorry to seem to question so many traditionally held views when I ask if
there is documentation but here I go agian ;-).
Is there documentation that Sarah Neely actually was a Neely? Or was his
wife just Sarah and Neely is assumed?
I'm really not trying to cause trouble just sort out what is documented and
what is speculation.
Thanks
