Bev, I too, have Reitz in my line, but not this line. However, I found and I am sure you have also the following info. Don't know if it helps, but I always figure, it doesn't hurt to look and who knows, maybe something will trigger something else. This came from Ancestry.com. Also, I looked on the 1880 census and it lists all the names you have listed on your email. I will keep this name in mind and if I run across anything that may connect, I will email you. I am on the Jefferson Co. email also. I am formerly from Brookville, Pa, where all of these Reitz families homestead, down in Ringgold, and that area. I live in Phoenix, AZ and have since 1964. Later.... Mary Jane - Phoenix, AZ Families that I am working on: Reitz, Lingenfelter, Minnich, Shovestull/Schoffstall/Schaffstall, Geist, Howerter, Martz, Sherry, Schade, Rockel, Haupt, Frankenfelt, Schick, Schaeffer - almost all have a connection to the Rev. War and I belong to DAR and have researched all of these. There are only about 3 I have not submitted to the society for approval. ************************************************************** Harriet Rebecca REITZ Sex: F Birth: Abt. 1829 in Northumberland Co, PA Death: 10 Jan 1887 in Jefferson Co, PA Father: Jonathan REITZ b: 6 Jul 1806 in Northumberland Co, PA Mother: Catherine SCHMIDT b: 8 Jul 1806 in Northumberland Co, PA Marriage 1 William REED
Hi Mary Jane, My line of REITZes: Sarah REITZ (1848-1900) + Israel OSMAN (my 2nd great grandparents), dau/of Godfrey REITZ (1821-1895) + Catherine THOMAS (1821-1901), son/of George REITZ (1791-1859) + Maria Margaretha "Margaret" REBUCK 1793-after 1880), son of Michael REITZ I have more on this line and it's probably connected to yours somewhere. I also have my line documented to Michael and his father George, for DAR. Let me know some of what you're looking for. I'm willing to share. Also, have an Andrew GEIST who married my 2nd great grandaunt, Catherine OSMAN. Catherine was his 2nd wife. Bev, Rio Vista, CA P.S.
