There is a muster list of Captain Samuel Cotten's company in Northampton Co, NC labeled after 1748. I date it to be
1755. Thos. Cotten is the Lieutentant on this list; in 1754 he was the
ensign. Sam Cotten was promoted to Lieut. Colonel by 1763. The names
of James Rutland and James Rutland Jr are both on the list. It appears that
James Rutland
died shortly after this muster as a son-in law Thomas Beaney is deeding on 14 May 1755
land given to him by James's will.
14 May 1755 NH co Deed Bk II, p. 216 - Thomas Beaney of Bertie Co to
William Rutland of Northampton Co 15 pounds current money of VA. 150 acres on the
head of A Hoskey, on the south side of the swamp part of the tract granted to
James
Rutland Jr for 600 acres in 1723 which land was given to me by James Rutland in his last
will and testament. Wit: John Cooper, Cader Powell, Patie Turner. Reg NH co Aug ct 1755.
1759 James Rutland's farm was where Northampton,
Bertie, & Hertford
Counties meet--was used as a land mark in the formation of Hertford county in 1759.
"About the Rutlands: Cousin Jack Tyler of Roxobel owns the farm where the three
counties meet. He told me last summer that when he was a boy there was a cemetery there. It
had no stones but was surrounded with an iron fence with "Rutland" on the gate.
At some point, it was plowed under. E-mail from James E Moore 5 Aug 98
