General Notes (Husband)

---

Richard had George A., b. ca 1803 in Va., Jane S., John Alexander, Thomas B., William, and Eliza. George A. is our ancestor. He was a lawyer in Sumner. He either married or did not marry Margaret Caruthers, but can be found living with her and their three sons on Sumner Co. censuses. We first heard from Thomas B.'s descendants that George adopted the three boys of Margaret Caruthers, whose names were John A. aged about 22, Thomas about 19, and Richard H. L, abt 14. Thomas is our ancestor. We later found a court record dated 1857 in the Archives in Sumner Co. (where you can also see Patrick Hamilton Baskervill's book), stating that the three boys were George's illegitimate children by Peggy Caruthers and he wanted to legitimize them. We have no idea what the problem was with marrying Margaret, but possibly one or the other was married to someone else. That is all we can figure.
