There can be
little doubt that James Boulware who married Agatha Rutherford was a descendant
of James Boulware who married Margory Gray. The question is his exact
descent. There were a number of descendants of James Boulware bearing the
name James who lived in the correct area during the early-mid 1700's. It
can be inferred that our James Boulware was probably the one living adjacent to
his future father-in-law John Rutherford. The fact that James Boulware was
probably a good bit older than his bride fits the age of John Rutherford's
neighbor James Boulware. What is known is that Agatha Rutherford married
James Boulware between the writing of her father's will and its probate.
The family is thought to have followed her brothers to South Carolina some time
during the Revolutionary War. Other stories of the migration path have
also been circulated. What is known is that James Boulware was an old man
when he died. His son Spencer's obituary indicated that his father
furnished 3 sons to the Cause of Independence. Proving the identity of
those sons may help solve the questions of his ancestry. The only children
of James Boulware listed below are those who survived him and were listed in his
Last Will & Testament. It is not known if he had a wife prior to his
marriage to Agatha Rutherford.

The Boulware family moved with Col. Robert
Rutherford first to North Carolina, then to South Carolina. In the skirmishes of
the Revolutionary Period, Agatha shouldered a musket and followed her husband in
pursuit of the Tories who had molested their home. (Genealogical History Of The
Rutherford Family) This commentary on the family's timing and migration pattern
to SC may be incorrect. It appears that a different Rutherford/Boulware family
was in the NC area described by this book. Descendants of the Towles/Goggans
family indicate the migration was made with those families and that no NC
sojourn was involved.
Agatha Rutherford was named as a daughter in
the will of her mother, Mary (Atkinson) Rutherford, which the latter dated 9
September 1749, and Agatha was appointed sole executrix. James Boulware and
Agatha, his wife, presented the will for probate at Tappahannock, 20 March 1753,
in Essex County, Virginia. (Essex County Wills, Book 9, p. 216, Courthouse,
Tappahannock, VA)
"Rutherfords In North Carolina, South
Carolina, Alabama and Georgia" indicates that James Boulware and Agatha
Rutherford left Essex County, VA in 1780 for South Carolina.

From the HISTORY OF EDGEFIELD COUNTY
FROM THE EARLIEST SETTLEMENT TO 1897: "...This friend was James
Boulware of Big Creek, whom I knew well in my boyhood and early manhood.
He moved to Alabama, and long afterwards I met him once at Edgefield
Court House when he had passed the meridian of life; but he stood
straight as an arrow and his step was firm. His beard was white, as
white as snow, whiter than my own is now, and hung down upon his breast.
His eyes were bright, his face was ruddy and full of health, and I
thought him the finest looking man I had ever seen. Mr. William P.
Butler of Edgefield, when I saw him last, a long while ago, was a very
handsome man, but Mr. Boulware was larger, and there was a strength and
vigor in his appearance, that impressed me so much that I still bear him
in mind as the finest looking man I have ever yet seen. His brother
Humphrey Boulware, was Sheriff of Edgefield for some years. His
grandmother was a Rutherford, of the patriotic family of Colonel
Rutherford of the Revolution. She sleeps her last sleep at Red Bank
Baptist Church, of which she was a member."
