Heather and Anna Marie I also descend from the Rutherford Family of Lee Co. Finney who died in Lee Co and his son Pierce who left Lee Co Va for KY between the 1850 and 1860 Census. "Genealogical History of the Rutherford Family" states that Finney testified before his son, Pierce L. Rutherford, acting, Justice of Peace for Lee County, VA, august 19, 1852. He stated he was then 79 years of age, and that he was a brother of Julius Rutherford, deceased. He further testified that Julius came home from the war and went into the Nolichucky country, now Tennessee, and returned to Wythe County, with his wife whose maiden names was Rhoda Rutherford. Julius and Rhoda then lived on his father's farm until they moved to Knox County, Tennessee. Footnote at the bottom of the page says: Pension Records, Group A., no. 15A, R9113, General Service Administration, Washington, DC. It also said that Finney had served in the Indian War known as "Wayne's War." Finney was enumerated on the 1810, 1820 and 1830 Wythe Co cunsus. He was enumerated in the 1840 and 1850 Lee Co VA census. In the 1820, he and his wife were over 45 and their were 7 males and 2 females under 26. In 1830 10 children were listed under the age 15 and 1840 4 children were listed under the age of 10. As his wife was between 60 and 70 in 1840, some of these children were apparently grandchildren. His first wife died between 1840 and 1850 as Dorcas, aged 40 in 1850 was enumbered as his wife. Are either of you connected to Finney and Pierce?
