    THE RINEHART FAMILY
    (Extract from  "The Ten Mile Country" by Howard Leckey Pages 322 & 323

    Johan Thomas Reinhart arrived in America on the British ship "Lydia",
Thomas Allen, master, and took the Oath of Allegiance  to the British in
Philadelphia on December 11, 1739.  In due time he migrated to Frederick County, 
Maryland, where he was living in 1776, when his son, Simon, enlisted in Captain 
Phillip Graybill's Company of the German Regiment, under the command of Colonel 
Ludwick Weltner.
    A short time later, Thomas Reinhart, Sr., with his wife Anna Maria, and
five sons, Simon, Thomas, Joseph, John, and Barnet Reinhart, removed to the Ten Mile
Country and settled at the head of Coal Lick Branch of South Ten Mile. Here 
they made their improvements, and two of the sons were to fall at the hands of 
the ever present Indians.
    When Thomas Reinhart, Sr., died in 1793, he mentioned these deceased sons in 
dividing his estate, giving their proper share to their children.  His wife, 
Anna Marie, survived him as shown by the probate of his will on November 23, 1793.

Submitters note- This original homestead site has been visited by Hope
Rinehart Beatty. It is about one mile south of the Collick Lutheran Church 
on Coal Lick Run. The farm ( as of 1998 ) was owned by the Simon Gordon family. 
A mausoleum has been constructed on the hill top behind the farm house. The 
original headstones are reputed to be in the mausoleum. A plaque on the front reads:
