-p.40 of The Chronicles of the Clark Family, Vol. 1, 1882

1830 Land Deed (attached):
Edward Rutledge, with son Thomas, sells all property in Ballymagirril to a Thomas Johnston, in April 1830. The deed says the property was formerly occupied by Edward's father "Robert Rutledge, deceased". We know, based on other land records from the 1820s in Ballymagirril, that there were very few Rutledge landowners.
