Routledge and Moresby

A query on the Cumberland Rootsweb mailing list on Richard Routledge (bc 1792) Moresby Cumberland has been raised. Who was this Richard Routledge known to be born at Moresby Cumberland in 1793? Unfortunately I couldn't help as my Routledge family were always at Bewcastle back into at least the 1500s (from my "cousin" Thomas) and known to be there by me from at least the late 1600s to 1818.

Two of my 3x great grandparents were Routledge. Thomas Routledge (born at
Broderigg, baptized 25 Jul 1763 at Bewcastle) and Elizabeth Routledge (born at
Raw, baptized 27 Aug 1763 at Bewcastle) were married 23 Jun 1785 at Bewcastle.
They had ten children born at Parkhead and all baptized at Bewcastle (Margaret
1786, Henry 1787, Grace 1789, George 1792, William 1795, Thomas 1798, Allan
1804, Elizabeth Mary Ann (1804 - my ancestor), Joseph (1808) and John (1808) -
two sets of twins).

The parents of Thomas Routledge were Henry Routledge (born at Oakshaw, baptized
30 Jul 1720 at Bewcastle) and Margaret Tweddle (baptized 6 Mar 1728 Lanercost).
Henry's parents were William Routledge and Grissell Routledge (married 1704 at
Bewcastle, William's second marriage) and his siblings Mary 1709, Thomas (1712
married to Elizabeth Storey), Margrat 1714, Dorothy 1716 (died young), William
(1726, 1727 and both died young). William's first marriage with children Sybella
1692, Edward 1697, William 1702, Thomas 1703. Grissell's parents are unknown.

The parents of Elizabeth Routledge were George Routledge (born at Todhills,
baptized 17 Apr 1729 at Bewcastle) and Grace Routledge. George's father was also
George (b 1692 Stubb) and his siblings were Isobel 1715, Jane 1720 (died young),
George (1726 died young), Jane 1732. Grace's parents were Thomas Routledge of
Hill Bewcastle and Mary Routledge of Kirkbeckstown and siblings Adam, Henry,
John 1735 and Mary.

All of the children (with the exception of John who died as an infant) of Thomas and Elizabeth emigrated with them to Canada in 1818. Only one of their sons (George) married and had children so that all of the surname Routledge families descended from Thomas and Elizabeth also are descended from George their son. He had a large family (9 children) - Elizabeth bc 1822, Robert bc 1824, Thomas b 19 Apr 1826, Henry bc 1828, John b 15 Aug 1830, Allen b 30 Dec 1832, George bc 1838, William bc 1840, and Jane bc 1843.

Unfortunately, I was unable to assist the researcher on her Moresby family but did post the following information along with the above.

I will continue adding references to my Blake paper today. I should be ready to send another draft to my co-authors later today. I would like to submit it by the end of the week. It turned out to be fairly easy to pull it together from our first author's website, then my notes and the work done by the two co-authors in setting up the Blake YDNA website at FT DNA. The question is whether to add other Blake yDNA information held by other companies and accessible. I did use the Sorenson data in my presentation so may look at that but I do not know as much about the data however.
