If you are referring to the Revolutionary War officer, Jacob Dritt, (not Jacob Tritt), his body was never found. In his day, he used the surname Dritt as is evidenced in land applications and church records. He was swept down stream when he was trying to return to the York County side of the river, after doing banking business in Lancaster County. Months later, a body presumed to be his, was found washed ashore in Maryland. They could not 100% identify the body but buttons on the clothing and the money in a pocket, highly suggested it was Col. Jacob Dritt. His wife is buried in the cemetery and some children and their spouses. Yes, I have been in the Dritt Mansion as some call it, many times. Before it was renovated, while it was renovated, and since it has been renovated. Periodically, they have an open house for the public and have someone tell "the story".
