Barry
and all
I have gotten land deed records from North Carolina, and the
Carruthers are all over the place. So I'm running this buy. I do believe
there were two Rochlannah one the daughter of William and Joanne
Carruthers and the other the daughter of John and Content Carruthers
because March 20 1738 it states that William Carruthers brother of
Rochlannah gave his sister Widow of John Martin a tract of 200
acres on north side of lower Broad Creek near the mouth of Neuse
River where she lives now Near green creek. this was witness by Sarah
Martin and Jacob Hoover. Now William and Joanne also had a son
name William. So could it be that The First Rochlannah was married
to John Martin and the Second Rochlannah was married to John
Witherington . And Dec 13 1730 I have John Martin of Bay River
sells to Benjamin Rice 235 Acres ofn the south side of Bay River on the
west side Trent Creek, patented by Martin March 1 1722. Witness by
John Carruthers, John Witherton and Francis Delamare. Now Ive link
that this Carruthers branch is mine. I have a lot more if you would like
them.
