Johannes Ritter, Sr.
17 Feb 1743 Milford, Bucks, PA - 27 Feb 1743 PA
Son of Heinrich Ritter & Maria Elizabeth Tutt
Husband of Maria Elisabeth Keck
My 5x great grandfather
Revolutionary War Soldier
There are many resources for discovering if your ancestor was a Revolutionary War soldier. For example:
Daughters of the American Revolution
Sons of the American Revolution
Sometimes you can find information in an unexpected place. I was searching Newspapers.com for my Ritters in Pennsylvania. Using the surname, Pennsylvania and a wide range of dates & looked to see what I could uncover.
Selinsgrove Times - Tribune, Selinsgrove, PA
29 August 1935, page 1
I found my ancestor in a list of soldiers from the county who had served in the war.
I had already learned that Johannes was a soldier in the Revolutionary War but it is always nice to have another source to confirm my findings.
