PREFACE 


This  work  was  undertaken  through  a  desire  of  some 
of  the  family  to  have  a  record  preserved,  as  perfect 
as  it  can  be  obtained,  of  the  emigration  to,  and 
the  settlement  of  their  ancestors  in  this  country  ; 
and  also  of  the  situation  and  connedlion  of  their  descendants 
at  the  present  time.  While  there  are  some  families  through- 
out this  country  either  bearing  this  same  name  or  being 
descendants  therefrom,  and  which  are  not  included  in 
this  work,  it  must  be  understood  that  we  have  herein 
traced  merely  the  descendants  of  Johan  Bernhard  Reber, 
who  emigrated  to  this  country  in  1738.  The  records  con- 
taining the  long  list  of  early  emigrants  give  the  names 
of  four  other  persons  by  the  name  of  Reber  *  having  landed 
in  this  country,  from  whom  doubtless  spring  a  great  many 
of  these  families. 

For  the  omissions  and  errors  that  may  be  found  in  this 
work  we  hope  to  be  excused,  as  the  former  were  unavoidable 
through  lack  of  information,  and  the  latter  must  be  expedled 
considering  the  resources,  which  in  many  instances  depended 
on   memory   only. 

These  records  date  from  the  first  emigrant  to  this  country 
by  the  name  of  Reber,  so  far  as  we  know,  and  continues 
their  genealogy  to  the  present  time,  keeping  principally  to 
the   name   in   question.       Although   the   descendants   out   of 


the  name  are  as  much  of  the  family  and  as  nearly  allied, 
yet  to  trace  them  all  through  the  generations  would  involve 
too  large  a  work  for  our  present  plan  or  for  the  satisfacftion 
of  our  readers. 

In  arranging  the  heads  of  families,  we  have  g^ven  the 
date  of  birth  whenever  known,  and  also  the  location.  In 
most  instances  where  no  address  is  mentioned  there  has 
been  no  change  of  residence  from  that  of  the  parents. 

In  presenting  this  genealogy  the  writer  desires  to 
acknowledge  his  obligations  to  Rev.  Thomas  H.  Krick, 
Thomas  Reber,  Joel  B.  Bertolet,  Mrs.  Mary  E.  Runyon, 
David  W.  Pellman,  James  C.  Reber,  and  the  others  who 
have  aided  by  their  researches,  in  furnishing  materials  for 
the  work.  m.  b.  r.

GENEALOGY  OF  THE  REBER  FAMILY 


FIRST   GENERATION 

The  idea  of  preparing  a  genealogy  of  the  Reber  family 
was  probably  suggested  in  finding  the  original  passport  of 
Johannes  Reber  still  preserved,  who  was  for  a  long  time 
believed  to  be  the  first  one  of  the  large  family  of  Rebers 
who  emigrated  to  this  country.  This  passport  shows  that 
he  came  from  lyangenselbold,  Germany,  which  is  situated  in 
Kreiz  Hanau,  Regierungsbezirk  Cassel,  Konigsreich,  Prussia. 
While  visiting  in  that  part  of  the  country,  in  1882,  Mr.  James 
T.  Reber,  of  Reading,  Pa.,  found  recorded  in  the  old  church 
book  of  the  Evangelical  Church  (Rev.  Frederick  Hufnagel, 
Pastor),  the  names  of  four  brothers,  (i)  Johan  Bernhard  • 
Reber,  (2)  Hans  Reber,  (3)  Johan  Conrad  Reber,  and  (4) 
Michael  Reber.  This  church  book  dates  back  to  the  year 
1563,  so  that  it  might  be  possible  to  obtain  the  ancestors  of 
these  four  brothers  since  the  i6th  century.  However,  we 
have  been  satisfied  to  make  a  record  only  from  the  earliest 
emigrant  to  this  country. 

I .  Johan  Bernhard  Reber,  the  first  of  these  brothers, 
is  recorded  in  this  same  book  as  having  one  son,  (5)  Johannes 
Reber,  who  was  married  Feb.  8,  1736,  to  Johanna  Magdalena, 
daughter  of  Conrad  Hahn.  From  this  union  two  sons  were 
bom ;  (6)  Johannes  (Dec.  16,  1736),  and  (7)  lyUdwig 
Friedrich  August  (Sept.  11,  1740).  The  Pennsylvania 
Archives,  containing  the  names  of  30,000  early  emigrants, 
mention  the  arrival  of  John  Bernhart  Reber,  from  Rotterdam 
(Holland),  on  the  "Snow  Two  Sisters,"  landing  in  Phila- 
delphia, and  qualifying  Sept,  9,  1738,  by  swearing  allegiance 
to  Great  Britain.  We  can  learn  of  nothing  pertaining  to  his 
whereabouts  or  life  after  his  arrival  in  this  country.  The 
passport,  however,  of  the  son  is  still  intact  and  a  photograph 
of  same  is  shown  on  accompanying  page. 


GENEALOGY  OF  THE  REBER  FAMILY 


SECOND   GENERATION 

5.  Johannes  Reber,  whose  dale  of  birth  is  unknown, 
was  married  Feb.  8,  1736,  to  Johanna  Magdalena  Hahn.  They 
had  two  sons  born  in  Germany,  Johannes  and  Ivudwig  Fried- 
rich  August.  According  to  his  passport,  he  left  his  native 
country  for  America  April  23,  1742,  bringing  his  family  with 
him,  although  it  is  known  that  the  second  son,  Lud'vi;.r,  uied 
on  board  the  ship.  Being  a  member  of  William  Penn's 
colony,  his  first  object  was  to  find  a  desirable  location. 
Having  seledled  some  acres  of  land  about  6  miles  west  of 
Reading,  in  Eower  Heidelberg  Township,  at  the  big  bend  of 
the  Tulpehocken,  in  a  beautiful  though  desolate  valley,  known 
afterwards  as  the  ' '  Blue  Marsh, ' '  he  moved  thither  with  his 
wife  and  son,  built  himself  a  home,  which  served  the  double 
purpose  of  shelter  and  a  protection  against  the  Indians  and 
wild  animals,  his  only  neighbors.  This  quaint  old  building, 
with  its  large  square  fire-place  in  the  centre,  is  still  standing 
on  the  farm  now  owned  by  Mr.  Henry  Shofer,  Reading,  Pa. 
We  find  recorded  in  the  Pennsylvania  Archives  that  John 
Reber  was  naturalized  May  13,  1768,  and  also  that  he,  like 
many  others  of  the  early  settlers,  was  concerned  in  numerous 
disputes  regarding  the  rightful  ownership  of  their  land. 
During  the  time  that  he  resided  in  this  locality  he  was  blessed 
with  an  increase  to  his  family  of  three  sons  which  were  named 
Thomas,  Valentine  and  Peter.     Their  five  children  were  :
