Hi Billie, I am wondering if you have any info on James Rutherford (c.1736- Dec 1797), who married Drucilla Brooks. They lived in Edgefield, and I have a copy of his Will and only one page of his estate inventory. We know there are more pages, but so far I haven't been able to chase them down. I am trying to prove to DAR that James Rutherford's daughter, Dorothy, married my Paul Collins Abney. I believe DAR records are incorrect, because they have Dorothy married to a Joseph Griffith Abney, and there is no proof of this whatsoever that I can find. Actually, I don't think there was ever a Joseph Griffith Abney. There was a Joseph Abney, but he died in GA unmarried, and his brothers, Paul and Nathaniel inherited Joseph's estate. This Joseph Griffith Abeny is published in several Abney and Rutherford books, but I truly think it is incorrect. I am looking for any information that would link James Rutherford to Paul Collins Abney, and his wife, Dorothy Rutherford Abney. DAR will not accept the Will of James Rutherford as proof that Paul married Dorothy Rutherford, because it does not distingusih which Abney married Dorothy. She is only named as Dorothy Abney in James' Will. I am thinking there would be some land dlocuments which might link Paul Abney with James Rutherford. I have been disappointed every time I have looked for a marriage record in the 1700s in SC. Anyway, do you have access to any of these records, and what is your best advise on my dilemma. Thanks so much for reading this, and I am looking forward to hearing from you. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Davine Roberts Jacksonville, FL
