Jeremiah ROUTH, Sr. is the son of Zachariah "Zacheus" ROUTH, Sr., and his wife Hannah Jane YORK.
By 1758 the Zachariah "Zacheus" ROUTH, Sr. (1717 PA - 1771 NC) family migrated down the Shenandoah Valley on the Great Wagon Road into the eastern section of colonial Rowan County (now Guilford and Randolph), North Carolina into the Millboro/Sandy Creek Community. Zachariah ROUTH, Sr., and his oldest son Jeremiah ROUTH, Sr. (1738 VA - 1791 MS) are found listed on the 1759 Tax List of Rowan County, North Carolina. This 1759 Tax List is the oldest known Tax List of Rowan County, North Carolina that represented the western 66.6% of present-day Guilford and Randolph County up to the time these counties were created later. In 1771 Guilford County was created and in 1779 Randolph County was created. This 1759 Roman County Tax List which included large portions of present-day Randolph and Guilford Counties gives proof the Zachariah ROUTH family and children were among the first Pioneer Settlers of Colonial North Carolina.
Zachariah "Zacheus" ROUTH, Sr., and his wife Hannah Jane YORK were believed to be lifelong members of Sandy Creek Baptist Church.
