Russell,
Some members of the Rittenhouse family ended up in Champaign Co IL--you
might try looking for them there. The Urbana Free Library has a
genealogical section--they might check there for you. Marian

I am hoping to find someone that can help me out with James Wilson
Rittenhouse and his wife Mary Seal.
They married on 28 Feb 1876 in Decatur Co., IN.
I can only locate Wilson and Mary on the 1880 census. In 1900 Mary
Rittenhouse is in Jackson Twp., Decatur Co., with daughter Celestia A. and
daughter
Mae. Her brother Maxa is living there also. It states she is a widow.
I would like to know who were the parents of her husband, when and where
he
died and where he is buried.
I would also like to find out what happened to Mary.
Would love to hear from someone!
Karen

Hubbard in Sardinia, she leaves one daughter Mrs. Grace Ornsby of
North Vernon, source, obit from Greensburg Standard August 25,1911, page
