Oregon
Good Afternoon,
Several years ago I had contacted the list but at that time I did not match with
any of the existing Rutledge lines. So I am hoping that in the past few years
maybe someone has joined that matches my line.
My Rutledge's start in Missouri, Greene County, Springfield area. David
Rutledge born 1831 location unknown. The Greene County Missouri probate court
minutes ( Feb. 1843) show that David Rutledge and his brother Jamison (sons of
Jane) were bound over to John McElhannon until the age of 21. I have been
unable to find out more about David's mother or father. I have checked early
Missouri marriage books in hopes of finding a male Rutledge who married a Jane
in the late 1820's or early 1830's but so far no luck. I have also been unable
to find anything on a Jamison Rutledge. I was hoping that maybe someone has a
missing male in their family that married a Jane and could be David's father.
David Rutledge married Nancy Ingram Sept 18, 1853 in Greene County, MO. Nancy
was born May 4, 1835 in Tennessee. David died Sept 16, 1911 in Springfield.
Nancy died June 23, 1917 also Springfield. They had 7 children. Here's what I
have so far:
1. Thomas Rutledge, born about 1853. I can't find any information about Thomas.
2. Malinda Jane Rutledge, born May 17, 1856 in MO. She married Grover Fowler
sometime between 1880 and 1900. She died Oct. 31, 1914.
3. Hiram Columbus Rutledge born March 1860 in MO. He married Margaret Andrews
before 1880. They had the following children: Peter Nov. 1876, Thomas Lincoln
Jan. 22, 1881, Albert L. Oct. 1882, Annie E. Aug. 1884, James C. July 3, 1886,
Pansy May Feb. 1, 1888 and Allie P. Jan. 1895. Hiram and family lived in Mt.
Vernon, Lawrence County for a number of years. In 1918 Hiram is living in
Miami, Oklahoma according to Thomas's draft card registration.
4. Amelia Ann Rutledge (my great grandmother) born May 5, 1866. She married
James Edgar Lee May 10, 1885 in Springfield MO. They had the following
children: Lincoln June 6, 1882, Mary Ann Oct. 8, 1886, Ella Clare Jan. 23, 1892,
Asa Clarence June 23, 1895, Archie Roy Apr. 22, 1897, Jessie Marion Aug. 13,
1898, Samantha Harriet Oct. 23, 1902 and Frances May Nov. 26, 1905. All of
these children except Frances were born in MO. Frances was born in CA. The
family moved from MO to CA between 1902 and 1905. They then moved to Salem,
Oregon.
5. Charles Rutledge born about 1868. I haven't found much on Charles either.
6. Sarah C. Rutledge born about 1870. According to her mothers obit. her
married name is Cutberth.
7. James H Rutledge born Oct. 23, 1878. He married Frona A. ? about 1899. They
had the following children: William about 1897, Gertrude about 1899, Nora B
about 1901, Floyd about 1907 and Mable J. about 1912. James lived in
Springfield and in Logan, Wayne County.
So far I haven't been able to trace down the male lines to find someone who
might be able to participate in the DNA tests, but I will keep working on it.

I'm John Rutledge in Eugene, OR... Saw your note to Tina (who
also lives
in Eugene...) and thought I'd jump in... Carole and I have been trying to
get another Rutledge get-together going in Eugene... we used to have them on
quite a regular basis... I promised Tina, Donna (who lives near you in
Brownsville) and Cheryl, (who lives in Oakridge) that I would organize a
meeting soon... but our son and wife had triplets born in December, and
things got hectic... anyway.. I PROMISE, I'll get at it again...
I'm really interested to hear from you... by any chance, do you know Lt
Dale Rutledge of the Oregon State Police..? I retired from the Eugene
Police Dept in 1991.... often heard of him, abut never got to meet him in
person.. I'd like to see if he knows about any of the Oregon Rutledge
lines.. I see Dale on TV from time to time and think he works out of the
Salem Headquarters...
Also.. I've been working on a line of George Rutledge who migrated to
Humbolt Co CA from MI/OH... He then moved to Benton County. I've been able
to track some of his children, found gravesites for seveal of them near
Albany. He married a Sarah Ann Kay in Hillsdale Co MI in 1864. George was
born in 1841 in Ohio. They had children: Arthur R, James Edwin, Estella D.,
and Elnora, Lena R, George Melvin (who died in Roseburg) and Grace.
Anyway.. if any of this rings a bell with you I love to hear... All my
best... John

Oh my gosh.. I am so excited! I'm sitting here entering info on
my mom's
side that my cousin from Alaska sent to me. Cheryl asked me a question
about where my family went to in Oregon, so I finished typing the spouse
and pulled out a book that a relative had done on dad's lines. When I
went to flip thru, would you beleive that the name that I had just typed
popped up! I thought oh well, there are a lot of Micah Saylor's in this
world, but I about had a heart attack when I saw that this Micah Saylor
married Elizabeth Monnett on the same date that I had just entered!!!
Here I have my dad's line intertwined with my mom's line back in 1787!!!
Wow...of course I ran to tell my hubby and he's like into his tv, and
sat there staring at the tv saying yeah, oh, that's nice....
But, much to my surprise, there is also a section about John Boring. He
is the one who brought Edward Rutledge to Md to begin with. So,
evidently I need to check this book out again, as it might be my
connection to the rest of the Rutledge's from Baltimore. I have had this
book for years, but hadn't looked at it for a while.
Well, I will check on this and report what I find. I just had to share
my good news with someone! Jan Rutledge Roggy

From Lane County, OR History:
"Mr. Ellis Parker was born near Dexter, Oregon in 1869. He
spent his
boyhood days living the life of a typical country boy listening to tales
of his father's journey West over the Oregon Trail in 1853. He told of
the dangers of Indian attacks and of a Pawnee chief trying to trade 100
ponies for a pretty young girl in the wagon train. This young girl,
Caroline RUTLEDGE, later became Mr. Parker's wife, and the mother of
young Ellis and his four brothers and sisters".
Any researcher have knowledge of this RUTLEDGE girl?

Kermit,
I had this in my Rutledge notes, thought this might explaine who Caroline
Rutledge's parents were. Blasengim Rutledge came very early to Oregon and
settled in Lane Co.
