James Winbern/Wynbourne Routh was a surgeon. He married Margaret Ferguson October 1, 1839.
He died at Willkens Bend, Louisiana on August 19, 1863. He died during the Civil War of tuberculosis that he had acquired at Andersonville while in service. This information was found in the Routh family bible that his wife Margaret kept. Her grandson, Dr. James St Clair Vance made copies of the bible’s entries in 1941.
Note: “Willkens Bend” might have actually been Milliken’s Bend, Louisiana. A battle that was part of the Vicksburg Campaign was fought here on June 7, 1863 .

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Battle of Milliken's Bend, fought June 7, 1863, was part of the Vicksburg Campaign of the American Civil War. Confederate Lt. Gen. John C. Pemberton and his army were besieged in Vicksburg, Mississippi, by Union commander Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the Tennessee.
In an effort to cut Grant's supply line and relieve the city, the Confederates attacked the Union supply area at Milliken's Bend up the Mississippi. The Milliken's Bend area, 15 miles to the northwest of Vicksburg, had until recently served as a staging area for Grant's Vicksburg Campaign. It was a site of supply depots and hospitals, many of which were manned and guarded by US Colored Troops, some of whom were recently recruited freedmen.
Although a relatively small battle, it was distinguished by the prominent role played by the United States Colored Troops who, despite lacking much military training, fought bravely with inferior weaponry and finally drove off the Confederates with help from gunboats. Confederate President Jefferson Davis was under heavy political pressure to come to the aid of the besieged Pemberton and his 30,000 troops, bottled up in Vicksburg by Grant's 60,000 troops. Under the belief that Grant's supply lines were vulnerable on the west bank of the Mississippi, on the Louisiana side across from Vicksburg, Davis instructed Trans-Mississippi Department Commander Lt. Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith to send troops to break up that supply line. Unknown to either Smith or Jefferson Davis, Grant had recently shifted his supply lines to the east bank of the Mississippi above Vicksburg.
