Following is my husband's Ridenour query: 1st generation: Anton REITNOWER, b circa 1586, m 24 Sep 1611 Gondiswil, Canton of Bern, Aargau, Switzerland to Margarete CHRISTEN. 2nd generation: Hans REITENAUER, b circa 1612, m 10 Feb 1634 Gondiswil, Canton of Bern, Aargau, Switzerland to Katherina SCHAR (SCHOR). 3rd generation: Nicholas "Claus" REITENAUER, b 8 Jul 1650 Gondiswil, Canton of Bern, Aargau, Switzerland, m circa 1674 in Tieffenbach, Bas-Rhin, France to Suzanna WINDSTEIN, d/o Nicholas Windstein and Otilla Eich. 4th generation: Johann Balthasar REITENAUER, b 18 May 1696 Tieffenbach, Bas-Rhin, France, m 23 Feb 1718 Tieffenbach, Bas-Rhin, France to Maria Elizabeth ZENSS, d/o Hans Jacob Zenss and Anna Maria ---; from Bas-Rhin, France to USA 1738. 5th generation: Johann Georg REITENAUER, b 1723 Puberg, Bas-Rhin, France, m before 1742 in Philadelphia Co, PA to Julianna ---; from Bas-Rhin, France to USA 1738. 6th generation: George Adam REITENAUER, b 10 Nov 1746 Philadelphia Co, PA, m 1 Feb 1774 Barbara WILHEIT (WILHEID), b 2 Oct 1756; res. PA; Frederick Co, MD; Shenandoah Co, VA. 7th generation: Elizabeth REITENAUER (RIDENOUR), b 18 Jul 1778 Powells Fort, Shenandoah Co, VA, m 22 Mar 1796 Frederick Co, MD to Benjamin DUBEL (DUPPEL), res Wolfsville, Frederick Co MD. I am especially interested in the time period of about 1772 to 1776 when George Adam Reitenauer was in Frederick Co, MD; then about 1778 to 1790 in Shenandoah Co, VA; then I think his wife Barbara (Wilheit), perhaps a widow, went back to Frederick Co, MD about 1790; and daughter Elizabeth Reitenauer (Ridenour) went to Frederick Co, MD as she married Benjamin Dubel there in 1796 and remained until her death in 1850.
