Hannah Jane YORK is the firstborn of ten children of Jeremiah YORK I and his second wife Sara Ann WILSON. At age sixteen Hannah Jane YORK married Zachariah ROUTH, Sr age twenty in 1738 most likely at her parent's home on beautiful Terrapin Neck, Frederick County, Virginia overlooking the Potomac River.
This couple is believed to have migrated down the Great Philadelphia Wagon Road into colonial Orange County (now Randolph), North Carolina by about 1758.
The children of Hannah Jane YORK and Zachariah ROUTH, Sr. are believed to be:
1. Jeremiah ROUTH, Sr. b. 1738 VA; d. 1791 MS
2. Zachariah ROUTH, Jr b. ca 1742 VA; d. 1792 MS
3. Jacob ROUTH, b. 1749 VA; d. 1830 NC
4. Captain William ROUTH, b. 1756 NC; d. 1803 NC, Rev. War Veteran
5. Joel ROUTH, b. 1760 NC; d. 1816 NC
Confirmation of the source of the unusual and unique name of "Jeremiah ROUTH" in the descendants of the ROUTH family comes from Hannah YORK's father Jeremiah YORK I. Hannah's brother in law, Edward ROUTH and his wife Deborah HAMMER are found in the 1790 U.S. Census of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina west of Randolph County, North Carolina.
Note: Previously the wife of Jacob ROUTH has been connected to a Hannah HAMMER in error. In October 2016 Quaker records including a will of Hannah HAMMER, the family has been brought forward by researcher Anne Baker that indicates Hannah HAMMER married John SUPPLE; NOT Jacob ROUTH.
Her gravesite is in row 9 which was discovered behind a large deteriorate soapstone marker in 2016 by Franklin Allred and Dennis York. Both men were trained by the North Carolina State Archeologist how to respectfully use archeological probes to determine colonial-era gravesites. After review of the discovery and research, a new tombstone was authorized by the Sandy Creek Baptist Church in 2018. The key to the name "Jeremiah" is Hannah Jane YORK named her first son Jeremiah ROUTH after her father Jeremiah YORK I buried in the next row 10/11.
