ID # 8450, (1799-1869)
| Birth | David Fretz was born on 17 May 1799 at Hilltown Twp., Bucks Co., Pennsylvania. |
| Marriage | He married Elizabeth Rittenhouse, daughter of Michael Rittenhouse and Barbara Hunsberger, on 27 April 1824. The date of marriage, April 27, 1824, for David Fretz and Elizabeth Rittenhouse is taken from the 1896 work of Rev. A. J. Fretz, A Genealogical Record of the descendants of Christian and Hans Meyer. See page 429. |
| Death | He died on 21 March 1869 at Lincoln County, Ontario, at age 69. |
| Burial | He was buried at Vineland Mennonite Cemetery. |
| Note | Initially, we take the name of Elizabeth's husband and children from Vol. 7, Annals of the Forty, The Grimsby Historical Society, 1956, reprinted 1992. This lists 11 children for the couple. As of writing, 10 children have been found, mainly via census information, but also from the transcription of Vineland Mennonite Cemetery as provided by the Niagara branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. Per the Annals, the one child missing for whom a record has yet to be found is Barbara. |
