I am helping a friend of mine to trace his ancestors. His deceased family members had told him that they were descended from John, and perhaps Edward, Rutledge, the former governors of SC. Most of my friend's family and ancestors were from SC. I am trying to find out how the Rutledges may be related to him. I have copied a partial list of names that we've been able to track, maybe something in there would be helpful in getting a clue as to where to look. These Kirks lived at Rose Hill Plantation, by the way. Thanks for you r time. Julie Patrick Clark ______________________________________ James W.
