Donna,

"It's a small world" anecdote...

Last night I attended a book-signing at Mt. Vernon, which was followed by a
reception. Got into a discussion with an attendee about Quakers... and New
Jersey managed to pop up. His said "My ancestors were from Hunterdon Co,
but were Mennonite ministers" so I asked "What was their name?" and to my
delight he replied "RITTENHOUSE". So of course I couldn't help but mention
that there was a marriage way back when between a RITTENHOUSE and BELLIS!

(John BELLIS b. 1828 married both Amy and Rachel Ann RITTENHOUSE, daughters
of James and Abigail (Mattison) RITTENHOUSE who are related to your A.
Whitfield.)

Dave - Would you mind sharing your information on Rittenhouse. My
ggrandfather was A. Whitfield Rittenhouse. Most of the Rittenhouse
ancestors I have found are buried in the Frenchtown Cemetery and Locust
Grove Cemetery. Thank you very much :-)
