I'm interested in learning more about the RUTLEDGES in Botetourt Co. VA and WVA. In the 1785 Botetourt Co. census, the following are listed:
Gratton & RUTLEDGE
RUTLEDGE, Geo.
RUTLEDGE, Jno.
RUTLEDGE, James
RUTLEDGE, Thos.

In the 1786 Botetourt Co. WV tax list we have the same individual RUTLEDGE individuals.

John RUTLEDGE enlisted from Botetourt Co. VA in the Rev. War & served under Lt. H. Waterson. He is supposedly the same individual buried in the McCord Cemetery in Montgomery Co. Illinois (no dates on this interment record)who has been linked to this RW service record. My RUTLEDGE family is buried in this small cemetery and I am trying to establish a connection. Help greatly appreciated.
