Some attribute a Catherine and Elizabeth to Ulrich --- which wife??? both married a Henrich Rhodes 1-23-1712 -1774

Elma Henning stated that Ulrich was born in Barlenburg, Germany and arrived in America on shipe Hope she doesn't give his parents--she does say his name was Uli in Switzerland --so perhaps we are still talking about the same lineage back --perhaps it was Aaron Peter or Peter Aaron ??? some reseachers place him as born Sumiswald, bern, Switzerland ---coming on ship Hope from Rotterdam to Philadelphia --- Both accounts have same birth and death dates --place of burial is same and descendants are same

the difference comes in place of birth and parents -- Aaron is the German version Peter is the Swiss version comment from Beth Moore Masters: Elma Henning was a good researcher for her time and without the availability of internet research , her work is amazingly accurate except for place of birth which was found when the ship for import to this country was found. We owe her a debt of gratitude for the work she died. from notes of Beth Moore Masters : On August 28, 1733, Ulrich and Barbara arrived in Philadelphia on the ship "Hope" from Rotterdam. while at sea their first son Peter was born, He settled on a farm near the Schyylkill river in chester County, Pa, a half mile from Frick's Lock. The walls of his large stone house stood until 1989. He is buried in the Union Graveyard at Parkersford, chester Co., Pa. with the inscription on his stone :" U.R. Feb 12, 1787 821/2 Information found in the Coventry church records in East Coventry show he married 3 times, and had 9 sons, 4 each by 2 wives and one by a third wife. Information from the Latter Day Saints Library says Ulrich and his wife sailed from Rotterdam, Holland in 1733 on the ship "Hope". the ship's master was Daniel reid. The ship then stopped in Cowes, England. From there the ship sailed to America and arrived at Philadelphia Aug 28,1733. The Captain's passenger list ha Ulrich as Ulrig Rayenhart age 29, Barbra Raynhart age 23. Another spelling on both the signed oath of allegiance and the signed oath of abjuration lists is Ulrich Reinhardt. In Switzerland it was Ulli Reinhard. I have copies of the ships logs listing Ulrich and two cousins. Ulrig Wisler, Ulrig Rayenhart, and hans Crombacker. " from Robert Cumbacker ( a family genealogist): " Reinhard Family in Switzerland: the family roots have been traced to the 1500's in a village about 15 miles east of Berne (Bern); the official family Gemeinde or commune for their citizenship is "Sumiswald, Canton Bern, Switzerland." Confirmation of the family Heimatberechtigung or citizenship is confirmed in the official government record book. Familiennamenbuch Der Schweiz or Swiss Surnames, A complete registry. The actual verification that our first American emigrant Ulli Reinhard (Ulrich Rinehart) 1704-1787, was "Swiss" comes from a genealogist, Robert Crumbaker who traced his own family. This identification was proven by "triangulation" (approved genalogy technique) with other people in Switzerland and then on the ship "Hope" and in Pennsylvania. Mr Crumbaker found 4 generations of inter-marriage details in Switzerland between the Reist, Reinhard (Rinehart), Grumdbacker (Crumbaker), and Wissler (Wisler) families, from Sumiswald. These 4 families were part of the "Mennonite" or "Anabaptist" people in Switzerland. It was quite normal for these people to emigrate in groups seeking a location they could practice their religious beliefs. At this time the Berne area's officailly declared state religion was the Swiss Reform Church, Passage on the ship "Hope", daniel reid, Master (captain), which sailed from Rotterdam, stopped in Cowes (England) and officially landed in Philadelphia on Aug 28, 1733. The first 3 signatures on both the oath of allegience and the oath of abjuration lists were 1. Ulrich wissler, 2: Ulrich reinhardt, and 3. Hans Grumbacker, all cousins from Sumiswald. The passengers included 84 men plus women and children for a total of 226 people. The men were required to sign an "oath of allegiance: to the Great King of england before disembarking. The crossing from cowes was about 50 days and Mrs. Reinhardt gave birth to a son, Peter on July 17th he was a strong baby and lived until 1806 in Pa. at this time according to the Captain's passenger list, Barbar was 23 years old and Ulli was 29 years old, Please note it is common for peoples names to be spelled different ways on various records (spelling was often determined by the writer) In general the name was spelled Reinhard in Switzerland and Reinhart in America but other spellings appear on documents in America in 1700's. Also Ulli became Ulrich in America (Ulrich is equivalent to William). Changes in spelling were also influenced by english speaking people who had difficulty in pronunciation of unfamiliar german words, this led to simplification or changes in spelling as these emigrants fit into the American society, Some available genealogy information states that Ulli's wife Barbara was from Germany, but another strong possibility is that she came from a village called"Sigriswil" which is just south of Sumiswald, Canton Bern." by Robert Crumbaker from Gene Rinehart --another Reinhart family genealogist "Material from microfilm booklet -"Mannon, Clarence Alsten - composition of the Rinehart Family. Trenton, New Jersey, 1940." courtesy of Dollie Nilges, Lawndale, Cal Sept 1981 to Pansy Rinehart. The lady who corresponded with Pansy didn't copy all of it, as it was so repitious. "The landing of Ulrich and his wife was unquestionably different from that of his brother, Valentine, who arrived 20 years later, in that their first son Peter had been born on board ship as they neared the shores of America. The journey had been attended with less danger, they had arrived safely and now had a little son around which their hopes centered, whose life they sought to fit into the life of a new country. Without a doubt, having left earlier in life, they escaped much of the tyrannical oppression so prevalent in the land which they had left, especially if they were in Germany. Ulrich, with his brother-in -law, Christopher Sauer as partner, opened one of the firstm if not the first printing establishments in that part of the country, Either one or both must have had considerable experience with the trade before coming to America, for they not only did printing, but also manufactured their own paper, ink and type. It is generally understood that in this business, they became very successful. Later, probably about 1760, being persuaded by his sons, he bought 3,000 acres of land in Chester County, Pa, near Parkersford, on the west side of Schuylkill River, 1/2 mile below Frick's Locke. Where he erected a fine home and which is still standing in good condition, a large stone building which shelters a splendid spring of water, and the usual necessary outbuildings. Later, a grist and a saw mill were erected here. the land was the finest of bottomlands, watered by creek and springs and was highly productive. This land subsequently passed into the possession of his son, Rev. Martin Reinhart, then to John Baugh, to Levi Updegrove and is now owned by Roy Wells. Ulrich was a very devout Christian, and was one of the founders of the Coventry Church of Brethren or dunkard Church, the second of its denomination to be built in America. His Christian influence may be partly measured by the number of his descendants who have entered the ministry, and the Ministers of the denomination who have married the female members of this family. Writing some 85 years after the family had taken up their residence at Parkersford, in 1846, Frederick Sheeder of East vincent Township, Chester County, Pa. an uneducated man more familiar with Pa. Dutch language than with English wrote the following for the Pa Historical society Note the quaint phraseology and orthography used by Mr. Sheeder while attempting to express himself in an unfamiliar tongue. "Uhley Reinhard the grant father and great grant father of the present Reinhardt, came from Germany, he remianed about the neighborhood of Germantown when but one house stood there; then came to Coventry and took up a large lot of land on both sides of Pitchen Creek and erected building -first a house which at this time is in good repair - George- a grandson of Uhly had previously erected his first house about the Schyylkill road and lives there when he built his -occupied the house for kitchen purposes -I went on purposes to see it -its 18 x 25 ft 2 stories high - the lower story of stone, the second of hewn logs - there are extensive ends attached to each gable end - close at one side of the breast of the dam on the west side of are the crest and the saw mill and at the head of this are the buildings belonging to the woolen factory of which all with F.

George and his family could not give me any information as to how long the building stood as the buildings on each gable end exceeds this cantril and no date on it can be discovered but they judged it to be between 80 and 90, perhaps 100 years old. It was John the son Uhley that erected the mill, the saw mill with the assistance of his father. a son of John- Daniel, erected the woolen factory about 1810. He however, died 1816, and Samuel, the younger son of John is the present occupant. an older brother had the frist and saw mill and some of the land, he however, sold out and moved back - George Hoffman purchased of him but died within a year, George Reinhard is the owner of the old mansion and part of the place.

Ulrich Rinehardt, 28 August 1733, did on this day take the Oath of Allegiance, at the court house of Philadelphia, Pa. The Raynehart family belonged to the nobility and landed classes of the several branches of several kingdoms that existed at that time. I was told by my grandfather, Josiah Rinehart, that our Rineharts came from Bavaria. In Bavaria the family of Reinhardt was granted Arms in 1590. the name means "Clean Heart". Ulrich Rinehart was the first of the family to come to America. No data has been given who the others of the family were. Not much is known of Ulrich but authors did know there were 4 sons of the first family. They did not know how many sons were in the second family but did know Rev. Martin and David.

From "The Brethren Encyclopedia"; 1983; volume 2; page 1094: Reinhardt (Rinehart, Rhinehart) Family. Most Brethren Rineharts trace their ancestry to Ulrich Reinhart, who arrived in Philadelphia Aug. 28,1733, on the "Hope". He settled near Parker Ford,PA. Married three times, he had nine sons. He was one of the founders of the Coventry, PA.congregation. Three of his sons were ministers in the early Coventry area: Peter, Abraham and Martin. His three youngest sons moved to Frederick Co., MD, where their grandsons David and Andrew Reinhart were ministers. From there descendants went to W. Virginia and to Illinois by 1844.
