My 3rd gr-grandfather was Edmond Caruthers. We think is middle name was Joseph. He was
born ca. ca. 1768, in N.C. He married to Mary Lucretia Stacy in 1879 in Lincoln Co.,
N.C. They are on the 1890 Census in Mecklenberg Co., N.C. He served in the War of 1812
in the 7th Regmt. (Pearson's) N.C.; He and Lucretia had 5 children (that we know of).
They were Edmond (Ed), Thomas (Tom), Lucretia, who md. James Ready in Rutherford Co., Tn.
, Maxwell (my gr-gr-grandfather) who md. Mary Faulkenberry), and one (maybe 2 according to
census) other daughters. The family went into Rutherford Co., Tn. , then Cannon Co., Tn.
Edmond died ca. 1828 (in Rutherford Co.), and wife Mary Lucretia Stacy Caruthers died in
1850 in Cannon Co., Tn. I have researched this family for years and have found many
Caruthers (various spellings) living in, or close to, the same area that Edmond was
living in, but have never found anyone who says they are related to Edmond.
Also, I am told that Mary Lucretia Stacy was married to Thomas Proctor and had two
children, prior to marrying Edmond Caruthers.
I would like very much to know who the parents and siblings of Edmond Caruthers were.
I know that Mary Lucretia Stacy Caruthers was the d/o Benedict Stacy and Sarah Haskinds
Stacy.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks!
