CARUTHERS, BARTON, FAULKENBERRY<\/strong><\/span>
\n In a court record dated 1891, a deposition was given by William Barton of Cannon Co., Tn. He states that Edmond and Mary Lucretia Stacy Caruthers had 4 children. They were: Lucretia who md. James Ready, Maxwell who md. Mary Faulkenberry, and two other sons Tom (Thomnas) and Ed (Edmond). He states in 1891 that Tom and Ed have been gone for a long time. Tom was hired by his (William Barton’s) brother to help him take a “drove of horses” . They never came back and were never heard of again.
