To Denis Riter:
For a "Riter" friend, I am reviewing "Riter" family history in Buffalo, NY area.Your message deals with Philip Riter, who I believe was "Philip J Riter", the son of John Riter/Mary Ann Mathews.John Riter was son of Philip Riter & Margaret - both Philip and Margaret were born in Baden, Germany about 1810.Philip Riter moved from Germany to USA about 1830 and then married Margaret in April 1835 in Philadelphia, PA.They had 10 sons - five born in PA, and five born in NY (Buffalo area?).Philip and his sons were in the "boiler maker" business in Buffalo - Philip died March 29, 1874, and I recently found a lengthy death notice in a Buffalo paper."John Riter" was Philip's son #5, the last born in PA.John's wife, Mary Ann Mathews, was from Canada.John and Mary Ann had 6 children - Philip J was #5.Philip and his wife, Amelia, had at least 7 children?
Let me know if you have any further info re these folks.
