Ancestors of Jacob Ritter Sr. b. Phila. 1754
Interested in ancestors of Jacob Ritter Sr. who was born in Philadelphia in 1754 and died there in 1834, husband of Elizabeth Myrtetus (1759-1818). Particularly information about his father John George Ritter (1715-1774) and his 2 (?) wives Unidentified D’Ora (Ore?) who died before 1840 and Maria Margareta Pop (1719-1793) whom he married circa 1840. Jacob Sr.’s portrait by John Lewis Krimmel is well known and seen by scrolling down http://www.artexpertswebsite.ca/pages/artists/krimmel.phphttp://www.artexpertswebsite.ca/pages/artists/krimmel.php. I am a descendant of his son Jacob Ritter, Jr. and wife Susannah Bradford. The descendants of Jacob Sr. are well documented.
