This land is situated on the line of Lower Milford township, west of the Great Swamp Reformed church. On this tract of land Henry Ritter built in 1739) a log house,with a stone chimney, which stood until a few years ago. The cellar and part of the chimney can still be seen. The log over the fireplace was removed by the present owner, Squire 0. C. Keiper, and the section of it containing the date 1739 was presented by him to the Lehigh County Historical Society. Henry Ritter was naturalized Sept. ii, 1740. He and his wife attended the Lutheran church in the township until 1754- He did not remain long upon his land, which was secured by a va- eating warrant, dated Jan. 13, 1749. by Lawrence Erbach, who deeded it to his only son, Jacob Erbach, on May 7, 1785- Henry Ritter then located in Salisbury township, where, in 1764., he owned 280 acres of land.
