Subject: Edward and Deborah Hammer Routh
"Edward Routh’s family was probably not from Wales, although his wife’s mother was and perhaps his own mother as well, but had lived in the Welsh Quaker Tract in Pennsylvania before migrating to Virginia and then North Carolina. Edward Routh was the brother of Zaccheus (or Zachariah) Routh who moved from North Carolina to Mississippi. They are perhaps the sons of Lawrence Routh.
"Edward’s wife, Deborah, was probably the daughter of John or Johannes Hammer (born about 1683 Palatinate, Germany) and Jane UNKNOWN (born 1689 in Wales). Deborah was born in Plymouth Township, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. The Hammers were Quakers. Deborah’s brother, Abraham Hammer, signed the 1785 Petition in Randolph County, North Carolina, to have the Court moved. He was in the southern part of the county and clustered in a group comprised of Isaac Redfern, Jacob Routh, Joseph Routh, and Edward Routh.
"In 1754 Edward Routh and his wife Deborah sold property in Frederick County, Virginia, and moved to Randolph County, North Carolina".
