General Notes: Husband - Peter Richter


He started in life without capital other than a strong will and an indomitable resolution to succeed, and became one of the most prosperous business men of what was then Union County, Pennsylvania. He was a merchant, miller, farmer, and bank director in what was the old Northumberland bank, a man of wide and extended influence, and left his family what in those days was a large estate.
