Terry,
Excellent information. Let me ask - have you been following the
incredible Carruthers recent discussion of the travel to Dumfries et al?

Is there anything in there that touched on your Line? I'm struggling to

More in time.

John Andrews did a little work for me about 10 years ago, but not much new
turned up.
Nathaniel Carruthers apparently went to Perquimans Co., NC about 1721. In
his will, written in 1745, probated 1750, he mentions sons James, Jacob and
John. In another document in 1767 a Nathaniel is mentioned as a grandson of
the first Nathaniel and son of Jacob. I believe the Nathaniel who went to SC
is from this line.
THe SC Nathaniel arrived in Darlington around 1799; he is listed as "Nathan
Cruthers" in the 1800 Census. The settling of his estate mentions wife
Keziah (Gainey), sons Robert, Reddick and George, daughters Sarah, Dicey and
Rachel.
In the 1810 Census Keziah is listed as "Crathers." In 1820 and thereon the
name is "Cruthirds." Both Robert and Reddick went to MS, Robert winding up
on the Gulf Coast and Reddick in what is now Calhoun (see the SC connection)
County. Reddick is my gr-gr-gr-grandfather.
I have corresponded with Tommy, however I'm more confused after than before.
He has a cousin, "Woody," more easily understood.

Hi Terry,
This is the first I've heard of the 1802 name change ["the SC
Carrutherses changed the name to Cruthirds after Nathaniel's death"]. Our
research had determined that Rocksolannah Carruthers d/o John md John
Wetherington was my GG Gm. She lived on Lot # 98 catty-cornered to the Tryon
Palace in New Bern NC. I would like to post this for further comment. Please
send us more if you can - this is important. We have other impor questions
re: 'our' activities in the Darlington District, SC (have you worked w/ John
Andrews there)? I have no good answers to your questions.
Look fwd to more discussion.
Barry

Dear Barry,
In perusing your message re: John C. and Content Carruthers, I wonder how
you have now put together these Carrutherses. I have been mulling over these
families for some time, and I'm still not sure how they fit together.
My gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather was Nathaniel Carruthers, d. 1802, Darlington
District, SC. I feel sure he is a descendant of Nathaniel Carruthers who
died about 1749, Perquimans Co., NC. Surely all these families were related,
but exactly how?
By the way, the SC Carrutherses changed the name to Cruthirds after
Nathaniel's death.
I would like to know how you have these folks now.
Terry Cruthirds
