Fellow Rooters,
This is the first time I'm posting to this list. My CARRUTHERS line is as
follows:
Robert M. CRUTHERS born abt 1817 in Ireland, married Jemima McKEEN July 16, 1845
in Clinton Co., Iowa. In the 1856 Iowa State census, he indicated he had been
in Iowa since 1837. We found him in Clinton Co., Iowa in the 1849, 1851, 1852
Iowa State census reports then 1850 Federal Census and 1860 in Clinton County,
Iowa.
We then found him in Wyandotte Co., Kansas Fed census for 1870 and lost track of
him.
Robert M. CRUTHERS & Jemima McKEEN had the following children:
Angus CRUTHERS b Feb 1848 d Apr 1, 1855 Clinton Co., Iowa
Matthew CRUTHERS b May 1848 md Margaret ? & lived in Wisconsin (6 children)
Caroline CRUTHERS b abt 1849 md DeWitt C. STAFFORD Nov 30, 1871 (Iowa)
Eulis CRUTHERS b abt 1849 (died as infant?)
Agnis CRUTHERS b abt 1850 (died as infant?)
John CRUTHERS b abt 1851
Adam William CARRUTHERS b Jan 1853 md Margaret HASKINS abt 1881 & lived in
Butte, Montana (my line)
Jane CRUTHERS b abt 1854
Samuel CRUTHERS b abt 1856 md Maggie CROWLEY Apr 23, 1884 Eau Claire, Wi
Robert CRUTHERS b Aug 1858 d Sept 13, 1858 Clinton Co., Iowa
The earliest land purchase we found for Robert M. CRUTHERS was for 160 acres Dec
4, 1848 and quite a few add'l parcels of land over the next 14 years, ending
with an apparent forclosure on a parcel in 1862.
I have a letter to Robert M. CRUTHERS from a friend in Ireland, dated May 30,
1849 with reference to the potato famine and reference to several of Robert's
brothers & sisters.
Those names (siblings of Robert CRUTHERS) were: Matthew, James, Charles, John,
and sisters, Margarett & Sashel.
Hoping to find someone researching this same CRUTHERS/CARRUTHERS line.
