I have been searching for the parents of my ggggrandfather Peter RIEHM (REAM) and his wife Anna
Catherine ZELLER. Peter was born Oct. 26 1787 and passed away in
Jan. 6 1858. Anna Catherine Zeller was born 10 Jan. 1788 and passed away on 4
March 1860. I read she was born in Snyder co. Monroe Twp. PA but that co. did
not exist back then. They were married in 1814 in PA, Do not know where in PA.
The 3rd child was born in Mifflin Co.PA 1818. Some of the children were born in
Lycoming Co. PA also. They lived in Lycoming Co. PA till 1836, then moved to
Coshocton Ohio, stayed till 1852, moving to Clay Co. Indiana and settled here.
I have been searching for the parents of both. Of course the dob on both could
be off a few years, On my earlier listings, I had 1786 but since have found
different, so who knows? She went by her middle name of Catherine on the
census. Peter and Anna Catherine were buried in Cole cemetery,Clay Co.
Indiana.
Over the years I have had several people trying to help me and they come
up with the same person that is not mine as far as I know, this Peter RIEHM
born in Oct. 5th 1786 ,Died Feb 6th 1858, My Peter born Oct 26 1787, Died
Jan.6th 1858. Both were born in PA, Both lived in Ohio in adjacent counties at
about the same time. Both lived in Indiana at the same time, my Peter down
South in Clay Co. IN and the other up north in Fulton Co. Indiana. There have
been rumors in my family for years that there was another wife, (possibly named
Barbara Smith?) but not sure if he might have had 2 wives or had been married
before. The only wife we know of is Anna Catherine Zeller. RIEHM is the
original spelling of my name , my gggrandfather changed it to REAM.
