    1. [ILWAYNE-L] Ritner
    2. Sorry Carolyn, but I get to keep Elizabeth in my family. George Wilkinson married Elizabeth Dye, sister of Jesse and Thomas Dye and Matilda Jane Dye Leak Spriggs. Do you need dates for Ritner? I think he is buried at Phillipsburg and I have the cemetery book. I have the 1880 complete census put out by the LDS. I looked at the neighbors of my relatives (which were the other three) to see what Smith was living there and then I looked to see if I could find him in Wayne Co., and it just clicked as names matched. Towanda Township, Phillips Co., Kansas (this is south of Logan) Ritner J. Smith 41 OH NJ PA Elizabeth L. 39 OH PA OH Wayne A. 10 IL OH OH Ernest E. 8 IL OH OH Dempsey D. 4 IL OH OH Ross J. 1 KS OH OH Della Clevenger 14 IL PA OH -------sister-in-law, thus you know what was Elizabeth's maiden name. I don't remember why we were corresponding, but I have a ton of people I am working on in Wayne Co., so we will probably cross again. I have another lady that keeps popping up in various counties around the country. We are not related in any way, but her people married relatives of my relatives -- so is fun. Jerilyn
