James was the fourth of thirteen known children of Johannes (went by John) Rothrock (1744-1805) and his second known wife, Salome Charity Worley (1759-1828), who married 05 Nov 1776 at York, York County, Pennsylvania. John was first married to Dorothea Gump (1749-1775), who married 01 May 1767 at York County, Pennsylvania (or 06 May 1767 at Cumberland County, Pennsylvania?) and had four known children.

James married Susan Norton (1785-1854) on 10 Feb 1807 at Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. James and Susan were the parents of seven known children, namely:

1. Julia Ann Rothrock Kent Rothrock (1808-1891)
2. John Norton Rothrock (1811-1811)
3. Elizabeth "Eliza" Rothrock Steel (1813-p1860)
4. Anna Maria Rothrock Kent (1815-1893)
5. Harriett Rothrock (1817-???)
6. William Pettit Rothrock (1820-1903)
7. Reuben Wesley Rothrock (1829-??? (1886?))

James was a fur trader and hatter at Bellefonte, Centre County, Pennsylvania. In the 1820 census the family is listed with 7 children and in the 1830 with 8 children. Thus there is probably a missing child. In 1840 there were five children listed. In 1850 James and wife Susan were living with John W. Rothrock (age 21, a tailor) at Bellefonte, Paris 164, Centre County, Pennsylvania. Who was John? He probably wasn't the son Reuben, as Reuben had moved west previously.

Links to James' parents, wife, three of his seven known children and ten of his sixteen known siblings and half-siblings are included below.
