Generation No. 1
1. JACOB 
RINEHART/REINHART was born in France/Germany, and died Aft. 1857. He married 
BARBARA Abt. 
1837. She was born 1817 in Bavaria/France, and died Aft. 1880. 
Notes for JACOB RINEHART/REINHART:
see notes on last name for Barbara.
Notes for BARBARA:
I have 
spelled the name Rinehart since that is how Barabara spells it in the 1860 
census. Barbara had her last 
child Nicholas in 1858 so her husband must have 
died between 1857 and 1860. Her son Michael was farming 
the
land they lived on at the age of 19, and his older brother John 
was a boot and shoemaker. Barbara lists her place 
of birth as 
France.
By 1870 
Barbara was not listed as head of household but the property must still be in 
her name as that is how it 
shows on the census line. Barbara and her two 
youngest, Anne and Nicholas are living with Michael (head) and 
his wife Bridget. This year Barbara says she was born in Bavaria. 
Surname still spelled Rinehart
Barbara in 1880, p13 Spencer 
Township, Jennings Co. living with Lizzie Oliger, her daughter. Barbara says her 
father was born in France, she and her mother were born in 
Bavaria. Lizzie is a widow already and she says her
father's birthplace was 
France. In 1880 Michael says his parents are from France. Since there is no 1890 
census I 
have not pinned down a date of death for Barbara.

2 years 
later he would marry Mary Quinn, whose father John worked as a RR car inspector

was also a brakeman.

Marriage 
Notes for LOUIS REINHART and MARY QUINN:
I don't know why they went 
to Louisville to get married. Mary was of legal age at 20, Louis was 13 years 
her
senior, perhaps her family was not happy about that. After 
receiving the marriage register I saw that the
witnesses were Leo and Mary 
Scannell. Leo lived in Louisville and was a railroad engineer, so it seems 
that
Leo and Louis worked together.
