Records from City of Nephi and family records in possession of Richard C.
Holden of Colorado Springs, Co. Ann Anderson Ritchie had 4 husbands, Mr.
Alexander, Samuel Ritchie, Joseph McKay,and Mr. Fellows.  The records show
her to have been baptized the same day as Betsey.
*
From another source on my family records, it is written that Ann Anderson
Ritchie's name was Ellen. She was born May 1788 in Forfar, Forfarshire,
Scotland, and she died in 1848. Her husbands name was Samuel Ritchie, and
her parents names were David Anderson and her mothers name was Helen Ritchie
(?) of Forfar, Forfarshire, Scotland.
In Oct 1995 I was searching the Ancestral File at our local FHC and found that
Ann Anderson was married to Joseph McKay and her father was Samuel Ritchie and
her Mother was Ellen Anderson.  At this point, I think Ann and Ellen were
probably the same woman.  I think Samuel Ritchie was not her father, but her
husband and father of Betsey and William. My records now reflect this
information, and I hope the matter has been put to rest.
     The temple work had previously been done:
B: 24 Nov 1908, E: 13 Sep 1923, SS 13 Sep 1923. We did his temple work in the
Denver Temple again I think in 1994. I have erased the dates inadvertantly.

Later research of the IGI 13 July 1997 shows he and his family were sealed
together in the Salt Lake Temple 14 Oct 1959.

In the book, "Famous Watchmakers of Scotland"  Samuel Ritchie was one of the three mentioned.
There is still Ritchie clock Co. in Edinburgh. In the little town of Forfar, Scotland the building still stands where his Clockmaker store was, and the big clock still keeps perfect time on the steeple of the town hall and the church.
