A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

From the lands of Carruthers in the parish of Middlebie, Dumfriesshire, in local speech pronounced Cridders. Henderson (N. I., p. 202) renders the place name "fort of Rydderch, the King Roderc of Adamnan," but Watson more cautiously says "the second part is probably a personal name" (I, p. 368). The family of Carruthers were in the thirteenth century stewards of Annandale under the Bruces. Simon Carruthers, parson of Middlebie, swore fealty to Edward I (HMC., 6 Rep., App., p. 709). About 1320 Thomas, son of John de Carutherys received a charter of the whole lands of Musfald and Appiltretwayt with pertinents (RMS., I, 92). Sir Nigel de Karrutheris, a cleric, who obtained the rectory of Rivel (Ruthwell) in 1330 (Pap. Left., II, p. 307) is mentioned again in 1337 and 1351 as Nigel de Carrothorys, canon of Glasgow (ibid., p. 540; RMP., p. 140). In 1340 we find Sir Nigel de Karuther high chamberlain to the Regent (ER., I, p. 458,462), and in 1344, as Sir Nigel de Carother, he is named as chancellor of Robert Steward of Scotland (Laing, 39). A charter was granted at Moysfald in 1361 in favor of John de Carotheris (HMC., 6. Rep., App., p. 710), Simon de Carrutheris witnessed a deed in 1394 (RMP., p. 108), and John of Carrutheris was one of the 'borowis' for the earl of Douglas's bounds of the West March in 1398 (Bain, IV, 512). Sym of Carruthers was commissioner for the West Marches in 1429 (ibid., 404), and John Carruthers was keeper of Louchmabane Castle in 1446 (ER., V, p. 284,521). Alexander Caruderis had sasine of the lands of Glengapp and Gerartgill (Garragill) in 1468 (PSAS., XXIII, p. 38). William de Carrutheris, presbyter of Glasgow in 1460 is probably Schyr Wylyame of Carruderys, persoun of Daltone (LCD., p. 198,254). The Carruthers were included in the roll of unruly clans In the West Marches in 1587 (APS., III, p. 466). Carrotheris 1361 Carrutheris 1375, Carruderes 1572, Carruderis 1537, Carrothyris (in Wyntoun), Carrutheriis 1330, Carruthirs 1398, Carrutheres 1628, Carruthoris 1405, Caruderis 1468, Caruders 1673, Carutheris 1370, Caruthuys a, 1329, Caruthris 1370, Caruyeris 1452.
