General Notes: Husband - Robert Ritchie

---

The Ritchie family came from Centre County, Pennsylvania, and is probably of Scotch descent.
He became an orphan in early childhood, and was raised by his uncle and aunt, Jonas and Jeanette Davis. They settled in Hopewell township, Beaver County, in 1796. Robert was eighteen years old, and as they had no children, he inherited the homestead, where he died at the age of eighty-four years. He was an industrious farmer, and member of the Presbyterian church of Mount Carmel.
