am interested in informaiton on Ritter family in Berks County, 1700's, particularly the following families. Ritter, Barbara Albany (township, I guess) Sept 25 1781 Land over the Blue Mountain. and 1/2 of saw mill ... to my children, Ferdinand and John and Daus Catharina, formerly Ritter, Anna Mary, Eve Rosina and Elisabeth, Juliana formerly Ritter, and grdau Elisabeth Wagner ...son Jacob. That Elisabeth Wagner is most likely my ancestor - given that Ritter's, Jung's, and Johann and Henry Wagner and wives regularly sponsored each other's children in baptism. Henry and Elizabeth Wagner were parents of Barbara Wagner, b 1774 or 1775. Allegedly lived in Alsace in 1804. As nearly as I can tell, her father lived on a UFO, since HEnry Wagner who died in 1816 in Reading wasn't the right one. Two possibly sisters got married who lived in Alsace in the 1790's - Susanne, and Rosina. (Rosina isn't even a German name - and it seemingly ran in the Ritter family.) Young, Adam Exeter. 1794-96. Wife Maria. Son Adam my plantation in Exeter 140 acres. daus Maria wife of John Snyder (Schneider), Rebecca wife of Nicholas Shell, Deborah, Christina wife of John Folweller, and wife of Christopher Kissling.
