Relation to other Rutledge family in Augusta County, VA

Edward Rutledge's parentage is unproven. He is apparently not related to another Rutledge family that was in Augusta County, Virginia during the mid-1700's. Although the other Rutledge family is listed in many records in Augusta County Court records, Edward Rutledge is not listed in any of that family's records. More research is necessary to determine Edward Rutledge's parents, most likely in Ireland. His family had a close relationship with the Armstrong, Kerr, Allison, McNeely and Erwin families of Augusta County.
