Surname: Carruth, Caruth, Carrouth, Carouth, Corruth
-------------------------
Hello,
My name is Harvey Carrouth and I am researching my Carruth family ancestry.
I hope to make contact with many others who are also researching these
same family lines. I have a few books showing information on the Carruth
family and will help anyone else however I can with their research. I have
a web page where I have posted various records as well as links to web
sites showing Carruth family related information I have found. This web
site is found at:
http://hometown.aol.com/harvey33/Page1.html
There are links on page one of this web site to our family Carruth E-Mail
list from Listbot with 77 members as of this date. Also found on page one
is a link to my own site at
FamilyTreeMaker.Com and several other links
to web sites that include information from others who are researching the
Carruth family. On page two of this web site are links to other web sites
that include the Carruth surname and on page three of this website are
some of the records I've posted. I look forward to hearing from you and
wish you the best of luck in your genealogy research. Below is a little
bit of information I've found and submitted as part of the origin/history
for our Carruth surname at:
http://www.surnameweb.org/registry/c/a/r/carruth.shtml
"Carruth Origin"
Walter Carroth was found as a witness to a charter at Doune Castle, Perthshire,
in 1540. Directly quoting the book, "Carruth Family," written by Harold
B. Carruth and published in 1952, the next line after noting Walter's witnessing
the charter says, "who he was, from whence he came and what brought him
to Doune, we may never know." Alexander Corruich was found witnessing and
Instrument of Sasine in 1575 while residing as a tenant on the lands of
carruth. This area known as "lands of Carruth" was found in Renfrewshire
and there were Carruths living in Dumbartonshire at about the same time.
By all available accounts the Carruth family were tenant farmers or craftsmen,
hard working, honest, conservative, and religious individuals, in no way
related to gentry. G. F. Black's book published in 1946, "Surnames of
Scotland"
says, CARRUTH, CARUTH, CURRUTH, of local origin from the lands of Carruth
in the parish of Kilmacolm, (in 1359 Carreth) Renfrewshire. The surname
is mainly confined to the Shire. Several persons named Corruith were named
burgesses of Dumbartonshire the 17th century. ---Found in Ulster since
the 17th century as CARUTH. On some of the websites that sell coats of
arms and similar information, Carruth is often confused as being the same
as Carruthers, which I've I found nothing to support at this time.
