Note: John Ritter may be the same John Ritter who was baptized January 15, 1765, Dryland Union Church, Hecktown, Lower Nazareth Twp., Northampton County, PA and the son of Caspar Ritter. Or alternately he may be the John Ritter who is listed in some online trees as the son of Martin Ritter senior and was baptized on 18 Oct. 1767 in the Dryalnd Lutheran Church. The y-chromosome tests confirm that the John who died in Stark Co. shares a common ancestor with descendants of Henry Ritter and Martin Ritter of Northampton who were brothers of Caspar Ritter.
