Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reifsnyder-Gillam Ancestry
Lehigh County, April 29, 1749. Nearly all of his records and papers were destroyed by fire.
After Boehm was ordained, it appears that Johannes Reifschneider took his place as schoolmaster at the Swamp, for Boehm writes to Holland, in making his report of the affairs of the Dutch Reformed Church, in February, 1729: My congregation at Falkner Schwamp is well supplied by the schoolmaster, Johannes Reifschneider, and at Philadelphia is one named Johan nes Berger but neither can live from the office for the reason that the people in this country (except in Philadelphia and Germantown, where they live close together) are scattered over a large territory, and not enough children can be brought together to yield a living for the schoolmaster.
