Hi, I'm new to this list and looking for Rutherfords. Specifically those who
may have moved to Bucks or Phila counties. Here is what I have:

Hannah Rutherford, b. 1832, marr Achilleas Morgan 1848. Her mother was
Elizabeth ???. b. 1808, d. 1885. Elizabeth lived with Hannah at the end of
her life and all are buried in Bucks county. No other children listed in
Elizabeth's will.

Possible husband for Elizabeth is John Rutherford, no dates. A John
Rutherford and wife Elizabeth had a dau Rebecca who marr William S Bailey who
lived in Phila but died before 1870. Looks like grandma Elizabeth was living
in this household in 1870. Two other children of John and Elizabeth G
Rutherford were Esther Stewart Rutherford who d at age 11 in 1846 and William
John Bell Rutherford who also d at age 11 in 1844. At the time they died all
were living in Phila Co.

Cannot find Elizabeth or John anywhere in PA in 1850 census unless they split
up.

Perhaps they came from Chester County.

Does anyone have any information or leads at all? Sure would be wonderful to
break down this brick wall.

Thanks in advance for any help.
