Rittenhouse: Garrett/Gerhard Rittenhouse was the son of Wilhelm Rittenhouse, the 1st papermaker in colonial America. He didn't inherit the mill. The big question for Garrett was, what was the name of his wife? _______ Revacomb, Anna Umstatt and Mary Schumacher are the popular contenders. Mary Schumacher seems most likely, but far from confirmed.
Lakin: Hannah Lakin married Daniel Howell in 1686 Philadelphia. The details on her parents, Henry Lakin and Margery _______ are sketchy at best. Henry was probably from Staffordshire, England. He and Margery apparently married before coming to America. Henry died about 1695 in Philly. That's about all there is on this family.
