ID # 8453, (1810-1887)
| Father | Michael Rittenhouse (1768-1852) |
| Mother | Barbara Hunsberger (1783-1849) |
| Birth | Susannah Rittenhouse was born on 4 April 1810 at Clinton Twp., Niagara District. |
| Marriage | She married Peter Culp on 21 April 1830 at Clinton Township, Niagara District. For the following see the work of W. Craig Burtch, The Niagara Gleaner, January 1823 - July 1835, Global Heritage Press, 2012, page 33. This is said to be from the May 8, 1830, edition of the Gleaner. It relates that Peter Kulp, weaver, and Miss Susannah Rittenhouse, both of Clinton, were married on the 21st inst., which we must believe to be April 21st, 1830. The clergyman was Rev. Jacob Moyer. A liberty is taken here. The newspaper notice does not specifically locate the place of marriage of the couple, but as Peter and Susannah were living in Clinton Township at the time and Jacob Moyer was buried at Vineland Mennonite Cemetery in Clinton Township, also known as Moyer's Burial Ground, we locate the marriage in Clinton. |
| Death | She died on 7 April 1887 at South Cayuga Twp., Haldimand Co., at age 77. |
| Burial | She was buried at South Cayuga Mennonite Cemetery. |
