Hi: Of course, I don't know the details of your search, but I can tell yuo that there's a very high likelihood that your Reitz family, and maybe Reed and Smith families, were originally from the Northumberland/Schuylkill County areas....quite a few families from here (I live in Schuylkill) went to Jefferson County in the 1800's.
