Tennessee in 1785) who married SARAH K. WILSON in Amite County, Miss. on 11 Nov 1824. All of their children were born in Amite County. The family immigrated to Jasper/Newton County in Texas after the birth of the last child, my great-grandfather. The children were JAMES MONROE RUTLEDGE, b. 1827, WILLIAM ELLISON RUTLEDGE, b. 1829, JOHN RUTLEDGE, b. 1831, IVERSON G. RUTLEDGE, b. 1836, ELIZA JANE RUTLEDGE, b. 1838, LETHA ANN RUTLEDGE, b. 1840, OLIVER CAULDFIELD RUTLEDGE, b. 1843. SARAH K. WILSON was born in South Carolina in 1805 to WILLIAM W. WILSON (1766-1825) and ELIZABETH COTTEN (1780-1860). I am particularly interested in the family's time in Amite County and in when they left for Texas. -- John E Cain; 1211 Maritime Ln; Wylie, TX 75098 http://amite.msgenweb.org/ -----Amite County MS http://www.theusgenweb.org/ms/amite/ ----Cain/Ware list and My Website.
