Three of the sons of my ancestor Adam Little (Klein) married the daughters of Michael Ritenour of Frederick County, VA. 1.) My g-g-g grandfather John Little married Elizabeth Ritenour 06 Mar 1806 2.) John's brother Martin married Sarah Ritenour 17 Jun 1819 3.) John's brother Jacob married Polly Ritenour 31 Dec 1808. I have tons of information on these lines. These sons of Adam Little started migrating to Greene County, Ohio after Adam's death in 1812. They were followed also by a whole lot of Ritenours.I have info on these also. I recently received another bit of information from another researcher , which conflicts with my information. I was told that Michael's (Ritenour) wife Catherine was Adam Little's daughter Catherine,,but I have some credible documentation that Catherine Little, daughter of Adam, married Isaac Oldacre of Frederick County. If Michael's wife Carherine was a Little, then it was probably another Catherine Little. But we will have to study that some more, I think. I would like to have the article on the Kern family and the others as well. I will be happy to send what I have to all who would like it. I will send my snail address in separate post to avoid giving it out to spammers and junk mailers who lurk on the internet :) Michael Little Wilmer L.
