Rittenhouse Square was named after David Rittenhouse, first director of the US Mint.
His ancestor was Wilhelm Rittenhausen, the first papermaker in America, who had a paper mill there.
Another descendant of Wilhelm married a distant cousin of mine back in the 1700s, so I'm related to a lot of Rittenhouses. I'll have to trace Ryan's tree and see if I'm related to him. That would be great.
