Do you know his parents names? My Ritchie relatives John and Elizabeth came from Lasswade in the 1850s. They settled in Michigan, it looks as though at least one of John's brothers joined him at some stage, his name was Alexander.

He was listed as a Widower on the manifest when he arrived
Destination to his brother Alexander RITCHIE at Barnsdale, Fellmore CA
Ethnicity is liste NOWHERE on these ship manifests, his Nationality (which means citizenship) is Britain and his Race is listed as Scotch (hmmm I believe this is a drink, while Scot or Scottish is the ethnicity!)
