 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

                 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
