Hi List,

Below are the children of Hugh RUTLEDGE, son of Edward and Elizabeth
RUTLEDGE. All the children were born in Kinawley, Fermanagh, Ulster,
Northern Ireland. Most of the children, except Alice, imigrated to Carleton
County, ON, CAN about 1831 with a second group coming between 1836 - 1839.
The combined families settled near North Gower, in Carleton Co, ON. In 1835
most of them moved to near Delta, Leeds Co, ON. In the fall of 1850 some of
them moved to Markham, Grey Co, ON and one went to Thamesville, Kent Co,
ON. Eventually a few dispersed to Kansas, California, Maryland.

I'm particularly interested in Elizabeth RUTLEDGE, my gr gr grandmother,
2nd wife of Henry BURKE. She was born about 1814 and died Oct 1853 at
Carleton Co, ON. She and my Henry had about 10 children.

I've taken this info except for Elizabeth, above, from a tree prepared by
Harry Edward RUTLEDGE in Jul 1966. He was born in Atchison, Kansas in 1885
and lived at San Rafael, CA. Does anyone recognize names on this tree and
can you provide me with names and address of any descendants who would care
to correspond with me?

Thanks for your help,

Ray, in Nanaimo, BC

*** Possibly my Gr gr grandparents. My own records show that Elizabeth
RUTLEDGE is the 2nd wife of Henry BURKE, farmer in Marlborough Twp,
Carleton Co. A letter by a granddaughter used the name Henry John BURKE, so
the John in this tree may be the same person as my Henry BURKE.
