I
am still working my through the alphabet, posting my surnames, many that need
to get out and get some air. R is for research & some really nice people.
R is for these
Surnames…

(Robertson) Alford.

Maria Elizabeth Ritter [1766 – 1847]. Maria was the daughter of Casper &
Hanna Ottilla (Hertz) Ritter. They had eight children: John, Jacob, Daniel, William,
George, Sallie, Catharine & Polly.
My sixth great grandfather was
Heinrich Ritter [c 1715 Germany – 1797 PA]. I have a long list of Ritters who
are descendants of Heinrich & his three brothers. Heinrich & his wife,
Maria Elizabeth Tutt had ten children. Many Ritters are still in Pennsylvania. At
one time they lived in Rittersville. My branch moved on to Ohio. My third great
grandfather, Isaac Ritter and his wife, Isabell Fisher raised a dozen children
in Wayne County, OH.
My third cousin, once removed,
Larry Knox & his wife, Bonnie, introduced me to our Ritter connection. Over
the years he has been a great resource for Ritter information. His book
inspired me to write about my Mark Family.

Sarah Robertson, daughter of
Christian Robertson, died in Liberty, Georgia in 1810. She married Moses Brown
[1777 – 1838 MS] and had four children. She is my 4th great
