Working on the Riter - Righter line of my family.

Does anyone have connections with this family?

1850 Census, Lower Dublin, Philadelphia Co., PA

John RITER age 49 (b.1801 - PA) Shovelmaker
Mary RITER age 46 (b.1804 - PA)
Charles RITER age 15 (b.1835 - PA)
Sarah J. RITER age 12 (B.1838 - PA)
Geo. RITER age 9 (b.1841 - PA)
A.R. (Annie Rebecca) RITER age 6 (b. 1844 - PA)
J.H. (John Henry) RITER age 3 (b. 1848 - PA)

The oldest daughter, Emmeline, (b. 1829 - PA), is not listed with the
family, as she has already married a G.W.Lafayette BANES, and they are listed in
the 1850 census of Mooreland, Montgomery Co, PA.

John's tombstone in Burtonsville Union Cemetery, Montgomery Co., MD, lists
the name as RIGHTER. RIGHTER is the spelling on all information I have, on
all family members, since the 1850 Census in Lower Dublin. Possibly the name
in that census was misspelled.

Would like to share information.

Regards,

Jacqui (Righter) Baylis
