Old Photograph Rutherford Gravestone Kelso Scotland
Old photograph of the Rutherford gravestone in Kelso, Scotland. The Rutherford surname is usually regarded as being of Scottish origin, but can be English. The Clan Rutherford were once a powerful family in the Border Country, and they held an estate known as The lands of Rutherford in Roxburgh. There are a number of spellings including: Rutherford, Rutherfoord, Rutherforde, Rudderford, Riddiford, Ruddiford, Rotherforth, Ruddiforth. Early Scottish recordings include Huwe de Ruwerford, who witnessed a land charter of Philip de Valoniis in the year 1215, whilst Nicolas de Rotherford witnessed a quitclaim by Malcolm de Constabletun and Alicia, his wife, of a carucate of land to the Church of Glasgow in 1260.
