To add to Peter's list, the President of the "Committee of Safety" (those were
the guys who started the whole affair) was David Rittenhouse. That is about as far back

No, he was not an ancestor of mine, although family legend claims his
grandfather, who supposedly changed the name to English form from the Dutch,
was.
