Continuing
my Alphabetical Ancestors, here is my short list of ‘O’ surnames. I am putting out many names that don’t often appear in my blog posts in hopes of connecting
with others who share these names. We can compare facts, sources & stories
and expand our combined information. Please read through to discover if you are
the cousin I am looking for.
O is for these
Surnames…
Omer
Margaret Omer married John Michael
Ritter [1782 PA – 1854 PA], son of Johann Daniel & Elizabeth (Rohn) Ritter.
They lived in Pennsylvania. Their children: Charles [1806 PA – 1883 PA] ,
Thomas [1808 PA – 1883 PA], William [ b PA] & Franklin [b PA]. I’d like to
learn more about Margaret.
Orth
Anna Barbara Orth was my 6th
great grandmother & learning more about her would be wonderful. She was
born 26 August 1697 in Germany. On 12 May 1716 she married Johan Jacob Wolf [b
1694 Germany]. They came to Paradise Twp., York Co, PA. She was the mother of
11 children: Maria Magdalena, Maria Barbara, Johan Peter, Johan Ludwig, Anna Maria,
Johannes, Johan Nickel, Maria Barbara [a second one], Maria Christiana, Johan
Friedrich & Johann Jonas [1739 – 1787]. The children were born in Germany
with the exception of the youngest son who was born in Pennsylvania.
Orwig
Caroline Orwig [b c 1820 –
1888] married John Franklin Wolf [1809 PA – 1883 OH], son of John Frederick Wolf.
Their daughter was Emma Wolf [1863 OH – 1933 OH]. That’s all the information I
have on the Orwig family at this time.
In 1735 Melchoir Ott, my 7th
great grandfather, crossed the Atlantic from Switzerland. He settled in
Orangeburg, South Carolina. Jacob Ott I [b 1725 Switzerland – 1786] was
Melchoir’s son. On 3 Dec 1754 Jacob married Margaret Fitchtner in Orangeburg,
SC. Their son, Jacob Ott II was born 1755 in Orangeburg, SC. Jacob Ott III was
born 1774 in Orangeburg,SC. I have a long list of Otts. They were in SC for
many years. Charlotte Temple Ott, my 3rd great grandmother & daughter
of Jacob Ott III, was born 1815 in LA. She married Nathaniel Brumfield, was the
mother of five children, and lived to be 80 years old.
