Posted on: BaltimoreCity County Md. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Md/BaltimoreCity/13439 Surname: Rider, Spalding ------------------------- I recently came across an ad in the Hanover, Pa. Spectator dated Jan 14, 1846 for the "Franklin House No 136 Franklin Street, Baltimore, Md--Samuel L. Linah most resepectfully informs his friends and the general public that he has taken over the well known stand occupied for several years by Mr. Peter Rider in Franklin Street between Eutaw and Paca Sts..." Considering this ad was placed in a Hanover Pa. paper, I wonder if this is the same Peter Rider who was found in the 1810, 1820 census in Manheim Twp in York Co. Manheim Twp. is just south of Hanover. I think this Peter Rider and his children may have moved to Baltimore around 1830 about the same time three of his brothers moved to Stark Co. Ohio. Any information on Peter Rider or the Tavern/Hotel would be appreciated.
