I don't match you, but I do match your father at 5.2 cM (my Gedmatch number is BP2045450). I am a 6th generation descendant from Robert Rutherford, who emigrated to Toronto (then York) in 1820. Various documents mention Manorhamilton, Killasnet, and Cornastauk (or Cornstaulk) as his place of origin, but I don't know the names of his parents. I also have a distant DNA match on Ancestry DNA to a descendant of the Justus Rutherford from Killasnet, who settled in Southern Ontario in the early 1800's. They were likely close relatives to George Shaw Rutherford as well, based on the Manorhamilton location.
