I have 9 children for George Bittner m. Elizabeth Walker.Child #2 was Katherine "Katie" Bittner who married George David "David" Lichty.She had four children prior her early death.Joseph b. 1820; Jonathan D. b. 1822; Daniel b. 1825; and Harriet b. 1827.I am descended from Jonathan Lichty on my paternal side and from Katherine's brother Henry G. Bittner on my maternal side.
According to some records, George David Lichdi/Lichty had left his children behind when he moved out of PA after his wife died.The children were raised by various family members.David Lichty seemed to almost disappear.One cousin thinks they found him again, in another state, married with additional children, never to return to PA for his first four children.
Harriet Lichty would have been 16 at the time of her Grandfather's death.
Jonathan D. Lichty 1m. Mary Reese (my line) and 2m. Harriet Smith - his Bittner 2nd cousin (through George Bittner's brother John m. Rosina Shaulis).Jonathan's grave is located in Ridgeview Cemetery, near Garrett, Summit Township, Somerset County, PA alongside his second wife.
Hope this helps a little.
