Hi Gang, I am resending my reply to Elizabeth on the PRA list. My reply was sent before she was subscribed to our mailing list and may not have received the information. Now, she will be able to reply on the list and let us know what else we can help her with. Hi Elizabeth and Welcome to our list.. In the 1930 census, City of Augusta, Richmond County, GA. District 9, Pg. 255-10B Line 68.Your Charles lived on 5th Street with his grandmother ! Bear with me because the copy I have is a poor one. It goes like this: Head of the household is a Sarah Bartles or Bartlett. She is white female age 58. Living with her is a son-in-law, Hibon ? Pennington age 27 yrs.; a daughter -? - Pennington age 24 years, a grandson Charles H. Pennington age 6 years and a granddaughter named Hilda F age 4 yrs. All of these relatives show that their parents were born in GA. Grace Ritter was the daughter of William H. and Jessie Ritter. In 1930, they lived in the City of Baltimore, Baltimore County, MD. Grace had two brothers at that time, Herbert L. and William H. Jr. Ritter. Interesting on the Ritter's. I have a second cousin, Ben Ritter. He has traced back to MD from VA. with his family as I have done with my Penningtons. All of us have to keep in the back of our minds that some of the relationships to the PRA and Pennington Family Groups are linked by other surnames. In Family Group 9, I have two incidents where a direct relative married another family in 1960 and finding out years later, tracing both surnames back to 1730 in Md. the two families are together again. Amazing huh? Anyway, Elizabeth, I hope this has helped you a little.
