    Notes:

    Conf. 1698 France.

    Nicholas Reitenauer and his family arrived in Philadelpia, Pennsylvania on the
    ship Robert & Alice 3 September 1739. They came together with 238 other
    immigrants from the Palatinates, (78 men, 57 women and 88 children).

    The story was told that the Ridenours were close friends of Marie Antoinette and
    planned to bring her to their home in America when things became difficult for
    her, but the plan failed and she was executed.

    In the Land Office, Annapolis, Maryland, August 1743 a patent was issued to
    Nicholas Ridenour, of Prince George County, for 100 acres called Ridenours
    Pond. According to Certificate of Survey, October 22, it is near the road from
    John Thomas to N.E. of a pond about five miles from Conocoheague. Conocoheague
    is a village six miles directly west of present Hagerstown, Maryland on a
    stream of the same name which rises in Pennsylvania and flows into the Potomac
    at Williamsport. This tract, as appears from the patent, was called "Nicholas
    Reitenaurer's Pond."

    The town of Hagerstown was named for John Jager a brother-in-law of Nicholas
    Ridenour.
