I am not sure of the birth and death dates. Possibly born in 1720. We need to have someone take a picture of the tombstone and report on the actual dates seen.
(Note: I can't see any picture here.)

"Peter's stone is no longer legible. Only Peter's name remains. The. Stone of his wife Sarah is leaning against the stone and is almost completely legible."

Peter is reported to have had two wives:
1) Hannah Hall, and 2) Sarah Hall.

His parents were: William Rittenhouse and Catherine (Howell) Rittenhouse.

Children by Hannah:

1) Peter RITTENHOUSE b:
2) Mary RITTENHOUSE b: 1745/1756 in NEW JERSEY
3) William RITTENHOUSE b: 24 MAY 1743 in HUNTERDON COUNTY, NEW JERSEY
4) Elijah RITTENHOUSE b: ABT 1745 in AMWELL TWP, HUNTERDON COUNTY, N.J

Children by Sarah:

2) Sarah RITTENHOUSE b:
3) Elizabeth RITTENHOUSE b:
4) Ann RITTENHOUSE b:
5) Elisha RITTENHOUSE b: 25 AUG 1768 in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Other records note the birth date as 22 Apr 1774.

Hunterdon Co., NJ bur. Wolverton Cemetery, Prallsville, Hunterdon County, NJ
m.(1) Hannah HALL, (2) Sarah HALL

(Another researcher writes that all of the children were Hannah's children.)

The cemeteries need to be combined.
