Subject: [CARUTHERS-L] Johnstone/Caruthers
I found the references to Johnstone Parish in Scotland of interest.
The
Caruthers lived in the Annandale and Dumfrieshire region of Scotland--this
is on the borderland with England, also referred to as the Lowlands or the
Moors. I also research the Johnstone surname. The Johnstones were a rather
prominent border clan well known for raiding. Sir Walter Scott wrote a good
deal about the Johnstone's. Since the Johnstone's and Caruthers were in the
same area of Scotland at the same time---and also many transplanted to
North Ireland at the same time (1600's) their history is also intermingled.
I am interested in any information on Johnstone's, Caruthers, Annandale,
Dumfries, or the North Ireland counties where many moved (especially county
Fermanagh).
