Descendants of William BITLER of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania

In 1850, William Bitler and his daughter, Susanna, were living in Ephrata, Lancaster Co, PA, on the farm of William and Elizabeth Jacob. William was 30, and Susanna was 12 in that year according to the Census record. By 1880, Susannah had married John F Hartranft, and was living on the Hartranft farm in Elizabeth Twp, Lancaster Co, PA, listing 4 daughters, 2 sons, her father, William Bitler, and John F Hartranft's father, William Hartranft. John F Hartranft's mother was Lea Fetter. Susannah Bitler and John Hartranft are buried in Emmanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery, near Brickerville, Lancaster County. I have about 154 descendants of William Bitler but no way to connect him to the family tree. The Brick Wall: Who was William Bitler's parents and wife ?
