Son of Dugald Malcolm Ruthven and his wife Mary nee Virgo. Baptised in Trelawny, Jamaica, 03/05/1815. He may have been a posthumous baby as his father was buried in Trelawny, 04/12/1814. The family moved to England: when writing her will in 1824, her mother described herself as late of Great Coram Street in Middlesex, now of Brighthelmston in Sussex. Inherited a quarter share in a group of enslaved people in Trelawny from her mother as residuary legatee. Nothing further has been traced of him.
