**1 From Fortner letter:   " I think S. R. Routh is the same person as Red Ferin Routh, for the children listed on the census have the same names. Mahala Mabery married Red Ferin Routh. Elizabeth, is Nancy Elizabeth Routh, daughter of Red Ferin Routh. Nancy Elizabeth married Samuel McCracken born 1831."
