Rutherford
   RUTHERFORD, a hamlet, in the parish of Maxton, district of Melrose, county of Roxburgh, 1½ mile (E. by N.) from the village of Maxton; containing 71 inhabitants. This, though now a small and unimportant, was anciently a considerable place, and had a church and hospital. The patronage at one time belonged to the earls of Douglas, and was granted, previously to the year 1483, to James Rutherford of that ilk; but the church being afterwards suffered to go to decay, the parish was united to that of Maxton, and the advowson fell into oblivion. The hospital was dedicated to St. Mary Magdalen, and was appropriated for the reception of strangers and the maintenance of poor and infirm persons. The family of Rutherford had the title of baron, now dormant, from this place.
