Drawing from a wide range of sources, this work is a continuation of one line of the Bulkeley family, focusing on the ancestors and descendants of Moses Bulkley (1727-1812) last presented in The Bulkeley Genealogy by Donald Lines Jacobus in 1933. The relationship between the earliest American ancestors on this line, Reverend Peter Bulkeley and Reverend John Jones, founders of the First Parish Church in Concord, Massachusetts in 1636, is re-examined. New evidence revealing critical errors made by Concord historians since 1835 will re-characterize the essential clerical friendship the two men shared and show the true reasons for John Jones's removal to Fairfield, Connecticut in 1644. Using census records, rare newspaper articles, obituaries, wills, surrogate court records, and family stories, this line of the Bulkeleys of Concord and Fairfield is chronicled in a new family history covering the mid-18th century to the present. The Bulkeley/Bulkley/Buckley genealogy is supplemented with genealogies of several families these Bulkeley/Bulkley/Buckleys married with in the 19th and 20th centuries. This work evolved into a "search and rescue mission," and offers a comprehensive on-paper reunion of families that have been documented to the beginning of the 20th century, and a few who have never been documented in a genealogy.

Thomas Rutherfoord (1766-1852) emigrated in 1784 from Scotland to Richmond, Virginia, as representative for the mercantile firm of Hawksley and Rutherfoord of Dublin, Ireland. Thomas sold the goods he brought, returned to Ireland to settle accounts and become a partner, and then returned to Richmond in 1789. In 1790 he married Sarah Winston. Descendants (chiefly spelling the surname Rutherford) and relatives lived in Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, California, Washington and elsewhere. Includes much ancestry and relatives in Scotland, and some in Ireland, England, India and elsewhere in the British empire.
