George Shaw Rutherford

[toucksman]

Following up on your note of 2018 about George Shaw Rutherford  who you say was uncle of Francis James Shaw (himself, per your info, born 2821 in Sligo to father Robert Shaw and mother Christian Carroll.  My own family line go back to Shaws of Cornstaulk in Manorhamilton which is same address as various Rutherfords. My GGGrandfather was George Warren Shaw (c1792-1874) (married Isabella Whittaker in 1834 after first wife Margaret died).  Whilst my direct line is through Francis Whittaker Shaw(c1838 - 1887), one of his siblings had the middle name "Rutherford" so there was clearly a close connection to Rutherford family but I've not yet been able to work this out.  GW Shaw's father was George Shaw (c1765 - c1845) who married Margaret Warren (c1759 - 1835) and it is possible that his sister was Mary Shaw who married James Rutherford, with family including your George Shaw Rutherford.  But this would not make GS Rutherford the uncle to your GGGrandfather so I'm trying to see where the connection might be.  You also mention your GGGGrandfather Robert Shaw and his wife (your GGGGrandmother) Christian Carroll but how does that link to G S Rutherford work since I think that G S Rutherford married an Elizabeth Tilden (so not a Shaw) and FJ Shaw's father and mother are not Rutherfords.  All thoughts welcome!

Does anyone from this line of Rutherford - Manorhamilton, Leitrim - have their DNA on any of the websites?  I am T013505 on gedmatch.com and my father is T621117.  We are from the Rutherfords of Cootehill, Cavan, Ireland.  Would like to compare please.

I don't match you,  but I do match your father at 5.2 cM (my Gedmatch number is  BP2045450). I am a 6th generation descendant from Robert Rutherford, who emigrated to Toronto (then York) in 1820. Various documents mention Manorhamilton, Killasnet, and Cornastauk (or Cornstaulk) as his place of origin, but I don't know the names of his parents. I also have a distant DNA match on Ancestry DNA  to a descendant of the Justus Rutherford from Killasnet, who settled in Southern Ontario in the early 1800's. They were likely close relatives to George Shaw Rutherford as well, based on the Manorhamilton location.

Old thread, I know, but did you have any circumstantial evidence that it might have been George Shaw's sister who was the Mary Shaw that married James Rutherford?

You are amazing.  Everything you sent is certainly worth noting and keeping.  Do you know anything about Killroosk, Ireland?  A cousin of George Shaw Rutherford, Major William Henry Rutherford owned a lot of acreage there.  Actually owed it.  If any of the descendants of his are alive, I might be able to trace a lot of the family history I am looking for through them.  He left the land to his brother Adam Montgomery Rutherford (another cousin!).

Wonder if anyone actually has a source that proves Major William Henry Rutherford was a cousin of George Shaw Rutherford? Here's living in hope!
