    • Sarah was born on February 6, 1806, probably in Anderson County,
      Tennessee. She was known as Sally. Her father died when she was five
      years old. On April 6, 1825 she married George Washington Rutledge

      January 25, 1798). They lived in Sullivan County, Tennessee on part of
      his father’s 600 or 700 acre estate. Their children were: William
      “Billy” George (born March 1826); Richard Caswell; and Annis Penelope.
      George died December 15, 1840 in Sullivan County. In 1842 Sally
      married John Crockett Rutledge, (born September 22, 1806 (or 1800),

      Sally’s first husband, George. Their children were Catherine Rebecca
      (born 1843), Sarah Buckingham (born 1844) and Barsheba Ellen (born
      1846). As a child John was cripple by a disease called the “white
      swelling,” and walked with a cane the rest of his life. He served as
      Sullivan County Court Clerk from 1836 to 1844 and from 1852 to 1865.
      John and Sally bought a home on Main Street in Blountville on July 4,
      1863. John died November 25, 1868, and is buried in the Blountville
