John is the son of Andreas or Andrew Reitz,1755-1837 and Maria Brosius, 1761-1826.
He was Baptized on 29 November 1801 at the
Himmel's Lutheran and Reformed Union Church, Schwaben Creek, Greenbrier, Upper Mahanoy, Northumberland, Pennsylvania, United States and sponsored by Georg Pfeiffer & wife Magd. per the
BAPTISMAL RECORDS FROM HIMMELS CHURCH
BOOK #1.Page 50-51 "HIMMELS'" or SCHWOBEN CREEK 1773 or GREEN BRIER CREEK.
Additional information is from Reitz family histories,
circa 1930 and circa 1967.
One source listed John as John Ringgold Reitz,
likely because he did live in Ringgold Twp.
and to separate him from other John Reitzes.

This monument has been broken & repaired.
