Earl and the rest of the Carruthers List,
It occurs to me that you might not have seen the JOHN CARRUTHERS WILL
(1751), Craven Co., NC, altho it was earlier posted to the Carruthers List.
As an accomodation and to jumpstart the list, which is developing slowly at
best, I will include with this message and following messages, refs to some
other Gen posted and/or available Carruthers Gen. Maybe a single
informationally rich Digest will provide enough Gen to help someone else
with a breakthrough or two.
JOHN CARRUTHERS WILL (1751), Craven Co., NC
In the name of God Amen. I, John Carruthers, of the County of Craven, and
Province of North Carolina, . . . . . .

My great-grandmother was Sarah Cornelia Carothers b. 1/2/1851 Charlotte,
North Carolina d. 11/25/1911 Georgetown, Williamson County Texas. I don't
have a clue as to when the spelling changed, although it seem as though it
was when the family came to America. Bible records etc. spell it as
"Carothers" since 1750.
This is her line, from Bible records and State Records. I do not have this
in any kind of program yet. I will have to provide this information as it
was written and provided through letters and records. The reader will have
to be diligent to keep some of this straight.

I have the lineage of Sarah Cornelia Carothers and John Henry Hodges down
to the present - by direct line to myself.
For those who have an interest in DAR, James Carothers served as a private
in the Continental Line under Captain William Lytle. This is verified under
North Carolina State Records - Vol. XVII page 198, and DAR national numbers
264900, 271089, 232029, and 259776. I have too many pages of typed data on
this line if someone has an interest in this line, I could scan these pages
into JPEG files for viewing. Regards, Earl Hodges Liberty Hill, Texas
