After the death of Hannah, John married as his second wife Jane McAfee, daughter of William McAffee of Lower Merion. When William McAffee died in 1793, he named his son Robert and son-in-law John Righter executors. Bartle Righter was one of the witnesses of the signature of this will. The administration of this estate continued for the rest of John's life, entered into the provisions of his own will, and caused trouble for his wife as executrix of his will.
On 11 August 1818, John Righter made his will, but he lived on till 1824, when he must have been a very old man, perhaps 90 years of age. His children by Jane McAffee were minors at the time he wrote his will, and he amde provision for their maintenance and educaiton, as well as providing that "all money received or which shall be received" from Jane;s father's estate, along with his own personal property should go to his wife Jane. She was also to have the rents and income of his real estate until the youngest child should reach 21. Then one half of the real estate was to be divided among his children, and the other half was to remain in his wife's hands till her death, when that also was to be divided among his children.[Montgomery County Will#5416]

These children, except for the infants buried at Merion, are listed in the order they were named in John's will. The census of 1790 listed John Righter as head of a family in Lower Merion Township, with 2 males over 16, 2 males under 16, and 3 females. Anthony Righter was listed with a family of his own, including 3 males under 16, and 2 females. The deed of sale of the lot in Germantown, Hannah Righter inherited from her father, showed that in 1796, daughters Sarah and Hannah were both married, and Amelia was still a spinster.
When Jane Righter, executrix of the will of John Righter, filed her account of the settlement of his estate, 17 December 1832, exception was taken to the account by John Righter the younger, son of Anthony Righter, specifically to the amount she claimed as due to her from her father;s estate. He also charged that Jane had violated the will by cutting timber on the land, and by sale of land. Testimony was heard by the Orphans Court, and Jane was upheld.
