Notes - Although there is a birth record for Simeon RITCEY, b. 1843, there is noe for Jacob. However, there is wealth of other evidence which would indicate that they are twin brothers. E.g., there are mutilple records showing Jacob born 1843, and Jacob lives directly between his father and his brother Simeon in the 1871 Census.
