Register Report - 28 May 2000

First Generation

1. James Rutledge. Born Circa 1770/1780.

There is some evidence that Jmaes had at least 4 sons James A b 1802 NC.;

John b. 1810 Atkins NC; Wilson b. about 1803 NC; and Thomas b. about

1809-10. I can find no proof at this time where James came from before

moving to Cherokee Co. AL. John and Wilson both moved to Independence Co.

AR in about 1857-59. Their families were in Cherokee County AL and are

listed in the 1840 and 1850 census records.

James wife may have been Sarah Willis also from NC. The family records of

John b.1810 states that his father was James Rutledge d. 7 Dec, 1848 and

Sarah Willis d. 14 Feb, 1846 was his mother. Other Rutledge family members

in Cherokee Co. AL in 1840's and 1850's are buried at Oak Bowery Methodist

Church. This cemt. does not have markers with dats of death in the 1840's,

but there are some sandstone markers there which are unreadable.

I did find two sand stone markers at the site of James Rutledge's (b. 1802)

land which he was living on in 1837. There are no readable markings on the

stones. I have visited the Drake family several times over the years as

they now reside on the farm where James onced lived. Mrs. Drake showed me

the markers.

He married unknown Rutledge. Born Circa 1765.

They had the following children:

2 i. James A. Rutledge

3 ii. Thomas Rutledge

Second Generation

2. James A. Rutledge. Born 11 Nov 1802 in NC. Died Nov 1875 in Cherokee Co.

AL. Occupation farmer. Education read & write.

On census records for James I found in 1850 a Thomas Rutledge born 1810 was

living in the same household.

In the 1860 census I found a Simpson A. P. Rutledge age 80 living in the

same household. The 1860 census records I looked at were in the Gadsden

Libary. The card appeared to have Simpson as age 80. I checked the State

Archives in Montgomery in April, 2000. The archives had Simpson listed as a

child age 8. This could be correct as all the birth dates of the children

would be correct. BUT Simpson was not listed in the family Bible as a

child.

In the 1840 census records for Cherokee Co James was listed at house/land #

124 there was also a James at 124 that apeared to be his father and a woman

that was his mother. They were listed with birth dates between 1780 and

1770. Also listed at #132 was Wilson Rutledge and his family who later

moved to Ark.

Another brother appeares to be John Rutledge who also moved to Ark. I have

no direct proof of the relationships of what I belive to be 4 brothers and

their father and mother living in Cherokee Co in the 1840 census.(James,

Thomas, John, and Wilson with their father James and mother Sarah)

In the 1850 census records for Cherokee Co AL I found Thomas Rutledge living

in the same household with James b. 1802. I can only conclude that he was a

brother of James due to the ages. Thomas was listed as 40 years old so his

date of birth would have been cira 1810. In the 1870 census I found a TJ

Rutledge living in Cherokee Co with Fannie Dykes, female age 30 born in AL.

This TJ list his pace of birt as TN. The ages match with Thomas found in the

1850 census living with James. There is some evidence that the father of

James and Thomas was living in TN before coming to AL. The Dykes family

received land ajoining James Rutledge when they arrived in Cherokee Co in

1838.

He married Mary A.??? Rutledge Born 22 Apr 1818 in NC. Died 31 Aug 1901 in

Chattooga Co, GA. Religion Baptist.

"Death of Mrs. Rutledge" from the Summerville News Sept. 4, 1901.

Mrs. Rutledge, an aged lady of Chattoogaville died at the home of her son at

that place last Saturday afternoon. Rev. J.H. Glazner, her pastor conducted

the funeral services. Mrs. Rutledge was the mother of our esteemed friend,

T.B. Rutledge, and we extend to him and other relatives our sympathy in

their bereavement.

I was told by Sue Hooper gg-granddaughter of Mary A. that she spoke German

and never learned to speak English. Sue said her father told her this story

as he heard it as a child. The 1900 census does state that both her parents

were born in Germany. I have not as yet been able to verify this, nor to

determine what Mary's last name was before marring James 1802. I did find

a will for GERHARD WILL of Tryon Co. NC dated 3 July, 1778 with James

Routledge as a witness. The will had German signatures. The Rutledge name

is spelled a number of different ways within the same family lines. This

could be a leed. Gerhard was born in Germany, but I do not know about his

children who WOULD/COULD be one of the parents of my Mary.

been in the hospital for what was thought to be sugsr diabetees.

Osborn lived in Cherokee CO AL and took the son of Thomas Burton Rutledge,

Lonnie after Thomas and wife Etta Carroll both died.

According to Paul Tucker, of Lyerly GA, who was the son-n-law of Bell

Rutledge Baker, James A. Rutledge b. 1802, was sitting on the front porch

of their home in 1865 at just about dark. He saw a man walking up the road

and thought he recognized the manner in which he walked. James then

recognized the man as his son James b.1844, He ran from the porch to the

road jumped the fence and ran down the road to hug his son whom he believed

to be dead. I later found Civil War records to verify (James b. 1844) had

been a member of John Hart's 6th GA Cal.( I have most of the war files on

James and his brother John, both served together) service he was captured

and sent to prison in Rock Island Illinois, He was released in March 1865
