HANS RITTER-1748-FREDERICK CO.,VA
Looking for information on the Hans RITTER family that arrived in Philadelphia the evening of 15 August 1731; after a medical examination disembarked the ship "Samuel" on 17 August 1731 and Qualified in front of the courthouse by taking the Oath. Hans arrived in America with his brother Christopher who also took the oath. Hans preferred going south where he heard of a German settlement in the Shenandoah Valley, near Winchester,Virginia in about 1748. His son, Adam, settled in what was then called Pine Hills. He was married twice.Adam had a son, Isaac Henry Ritter who later settled in Edinburg,Virginia. Would anyone have the name of Adams' other children, the names of his two wives, and the marriage dates? I would be glad to share what I know of Hans family.
