Ritter of Colleton and Barnwell Co. SC
My ancestor is Jacob Ritter, sometimes called John Jacob Ritter, of Colleton Co. SC.I'm sure that he was connected to the Ritters of Barnwell Co, since Colleton Co. is in the neighborhood. I have checked the SC census and in 1810 there was a Jessey Ritter who was over 45 years old and a younger William Ritter who was older than 26.
1810 Barnwell Co. SC census
Jessey Ritter 13211-101100
