Mary F. (Carter) Rutherford's headstone is located to the front of the monument for John Carter and to the right of the headstone of Susan (Pitman) Carter. Given the grouping of the graves and her apparent maiden name "Carter", it suggests that Mary (Carter) Rutherford was kin, possibly sister, to John Carter.

After some research, It does appear that Mary F (Carter) Rutherford was John's sister. Her husband John Rutherford reportedly passed away a few years after their marriage in 1818 (burial location not known). She apparently never remarried, because she was listed (age 65) in her son James' household in Augusta Co, VA in the 1850 Federal Census.

Mary Carter married John Rutherford in Frederick County, Virginia, 21 January 1818.
