    Routen vs Routon
    Ray,

    ----- I'm not sure if I've ever sent this or not, but I'm sending my Routon/Anderson info. This is the Benjamin Routon (sometimes spelled Routon -- or other ways-- in records, but it has been Routon since Benjamin). Benjamin m. Eliza Anderson, daughter of Thomas Anderson and Mary Payne. If you do post some of this on your site, hopefully someone will see the Routon info and may make a contact. I, along with Leah Routien, (who is NOT from Benjamin but may be connected with the father of Benjamin) have been searching for so long for a Benjamin father. This info is considered to be (more or less) correct, using census records, marriage records, and much info from my grandmother who m. my Routon, which grandmother, by the way, was the "historian" of the family before she died in 1990. My father is deceased, but his brother, 80 yrs, is still living and has a good memory about these things also. I must tell you that I have seen apparently 2 Benjamin Franklin Routon men in the same area, but I'm pretty sure that the one that I have listed (m. Maria Haley) is my g grandfather's brother.
    -----By the way, I have e-mailed with you before and may have sent this info, but some of the info is updated. The way I found out about Benjamin and Mary Payne was through Carol Notovini, after I had found Benjamin in an 1860 census with my
    grandfather on it. If you see any errors with info you have, please let me know.

    Hi Ray, in researching the Routons in KY (with many different spellings) I have contact with some descendants of Benjamin and Eliza Anderson Routon. I received some info from a friend concerning Grantor/Grantee indexes from Garrard Coutny. Benjamin and Eliza sold land in Garrard Co. in 1843, which apparently they  hadn't purchased, so perhaps it was inherited land from either her family or his, or they sold it on behalf of a relative. Again, in 1858, Eliza appears to sell the same parcel of land. Also, it appears Benjamin and Eliza lived in Russell Co. KY in 1850, before returning to Lincoln. In 1870, their son Timothy is listed as a Dry Goods Merchant in the census for Lincoln Co. Timothy and wife Caroline eventually end up in Junction City KY when they are older, with an unmarried daughter Malynda, age 36, living with them.It appears Malynda dies at age 41, still ummarried. Many people have kindly shared infor with me, and it is my  habit to pass on anything I find to whomever might be able to use it. I am sure Benjamin and Eliza are closely related to my line of Routons, just can't find parents for Benjamin. Leah Routien leahinwa@yahoo.com

  • Hi, I just visited your Anderson family website. My husband is the great-grandson of John and Margaret Ends Routon. On your website, you have John listed as the son of Benjamin and Eliza. Although they did have a son John W. Routon, we do not believe him to be the John Routon who married Margaret Ends. The John Routon who married Margaret Ends was born in Lincoln Co. on October 3, 1843 and died in Lawrencville, IL in 1920. He was a Civil War veteran and received a pension. We believe he was the son of John Routon Sr. also of Lincoln Co. The son of Benjamin and Eliza Anderson Routon, John W. Routon, was only 10 years old in the 1860 census, making him not old enough to have been in the Army during the Civil War. Regards, Leah Routien Omak, WA leahinwa@yahoo.com
