1833-1834 ZACCHEUS ROUTH and JEREMIAH ROUTH were part of the "MISSOURI MIGRATION"
in which a number of interrelated families left East Tennessee in the early
1830's to take advantage of the newly available Public Lands being offered by the
government in Missouri. Those families, some of whom had previously been in
Randolph County, NC with the Routh family were Adamson, Bales, Wilson,
Thornburgh, Douglas and Cates. Their first acquisition of land in Missouri was
in Ray County which at that date encompassed a large area in the North West
portion of the state. Jeremiah Routh had received a land bounty for service
during the War of 1812 and his brother Zaccheus obtained land next to that bounty
land in the Township of Richmond, Ray County, MO. Both men continued to purchase
land. Zaccheus in 1835 and 1836 and Jeremiah in 1837 and 1843. Jeremiah's son JOHN
ROUTH obtained land in 1838 near that of his father. Also in the same area were
Jacob Adamson and William Bales who was married to Elizabeth Adamson, both
Elizabeth and Jacob were children of Eleanor Routh daughter of Jacob.
There were several other children of Eleanor who settled to the west of Ray
County when the Platte lands were opened.

Eleanor [ROUTH] Adamson and their children moved from Tennessee to Ray and Platte
Counties, MO. From Missouri they split up, some moving to Leavenworth County, KS
about 1856 and some to Collin County, TX.


Ellender Adamson, age 91 lived with Joseph & Ellen Hearn, her youngest daughter & son-in-law, in 1860. Precinct #9, Collin Co TX, p.106, Household 830. The household was quite large and contined 13 persons divided into three families:
Joseph Hearn, age 52, Farmer, b. North Carolina, and Ellen, age 47, b. TN And what appears to be their children: Levi age 23, Lida 16, Misoura 9, and Laura 6; Livi & Lida born in MO, the younger children b. Texas. Then the 2nd family: Larkin Hearn age 18, b. MO and what appears to be his wife Mary, age 19, b. Miss. Listed as the 3rd family in the household is Jacob Wilson, age 24, Farmer, b. TN - probably a nephew of Ellen. Adamson Hearn & grandson of Eleanor Adamson, as two of the daughters had married Wilsons. Nancy Wilson, age 21 b. TN. John Wilson, age 28, a painter, born in NC. Also Harrison Mills age 19, b. TN, probably a farm hand. Last of all was listed Eleanor, with this group.
