We keep circling the wagons, but find no answers. I am sure there is a connection. William's fourth son was Joseph b. 13 Dec. 1767 who married a Ruth Chase 29 Apr. 1793. My Rutherford's also lived in Newburyport. I have contacted DAR but so far they have no information even though I have who he served under and his return date. It gets discouraging. I was led to believe that my William came from N.H. Sorry to disappoint you, but perhaps we will solve this someday. Thanks for the answer.
