Notes

Susanna Rittenhouse Heilig was still living when her husband's estate was settled in 1775.

The grave at Worcester Cemetery with the name Susanna Ritterhouse is in fact her sister-in-law Susanna WOOL Rittenhouse, the wife of Susanna's brother who gave the Mennonites this plot of land (from the family farm) to be a burial ground and Church. This date is often given for Susanna Heilig's death date but is in error! Plus the grave is not beside Henrich her husband!
