In 1749 James, along with his brothers Peter of Hollymount (i.e. Cornfield/Carrowkillen. see B above) and Andrew of Foxford (see D below) were among 70 Jurors named in the trial of John Brown of the Neale. 170 Around 1755 he was buying the lands of Barnacogill. in the barony of Tyeragh, Co.Sligo from one of the unrelated Ruttledges of Culleens. 171 The date of James' death and that of his wife are unknown. but he seems to have been alive in 1766 when his brother, Peter, made his will.

DAVID RUTTLEDGE. In 1766 David was under-sheriff to his first cousin, William Ruttledge. High Sheriff of Dublin. 175 (see D below) About 1789 David returned to Co. Mayo and lived with a Catholic woman, Bridget Howley. by whom he had a large family. In these years David was variously styled 'the attorney' 'of Dublin' 176 and of 'Tawnaghmore'. in later years he was 'of Newcastle 177 and finally 'of 'Togher'. 178 Newcastle House is five miles due east of Strade and Togher House two miles north of Cornfield. David had remote expectations under the will of his late uncle, Peter Ruttledge of Cornfield/Carrowkillen (see B above) but because of a series of deaths without male issue. it became evident around 1800 that if David had legitimate sons, they would succeed to some of the estates of the late Peter Ruttledge. So on 23 January 1803 David married Bridget Howley at St. Michael's Church. Ardnaree. 179 Their children were:
