Married Eliza Fenwick's daughter, Eliza Ann Fenwick in Barbados, but came to Britain to develop a career as an actor (his wife having acted in the Barbadoes). He was the son of Thomas Rutherford, who was a protege of Eliza Fenwick's father Peter Jaco (also a Methodist Minister), and Rutherford came to Britain partly so that his career choice would not embarrass his parents. Rutherford had a reputation as succumbing to the vice of his father-in-law, drunkeness.
