Confirmation on Great Great Grandfather Ritcheson

Finally, a lead to information on Great, Great Grandfather James Ritcheson.  This has been a long, difficult search, but I think I found it.  Spelling makes a difference!   I am confident this is our family as the names of Great Grandfather James' father and mother match (despite the spelling) along with their birth state  as well as the date for James Jr's birth, and the county in Ohio where he was born.  Nine brothers and sisters...... this may lead to further, more detailed information.  What is not listed with one sibling may very well be listed with another.   Exciting find!!!
