I was wondering if anyone in the Rockingham County has ever come upon the name Ritchey. I am looking for the parents of Ferdinand Ritchey, who was born on 8 July 1817 in Rockingham Co, VA. His father was a farmer I am told and his first name was Philip or Phillip. Would appreciate any guidance on this.

PS. I enjoyed your website and the music.

Hope you e-mail Margaret L.Sopp-- a real researcher

there was a marriage between Ritchie & Sprinkle

both names spelled various ways.

Sure this can be figured out in time. I will in the future be looking at Rockingham Co. VA for my Sprinkle/Sprinkle etc.... & Bridges families.

Good Luck. Glad you decided to place a posting on Michael's site.
