Sale of the original land of Thomas Reinhart who died in 1793 from research by Anne Winters.
Franklin Township was formed in 1786-87 from Cumberland and Morgan. When Greene County was formed in 1796, it included Cumberland, Franklin, Greene, Morgan, Richhill, and a small portion of Finley.
1782 John T. Rinehart, Esq. is born (calc. from age at death)
1786 Thomas, Thomas Jr., Barnet, and Joseph are taxpayers in Cumberland Twp., Washington County, PA
1787: Intestate papers are filed for John Rinehart by his widow Ruth, "now Veach" in Washington County, PA. Simon has also been killed and Intestate papers were filed by his widow Sarah " now Jinkins."
1793 Will of Thomas Reinhart filed in Washington Co., PA: He gives his wife a life estate in his property on Coal Lick Run, and after she dies, it is to go to John T. Rinehart and Susannah Rinehart, children of his deceased son John. His witnesses were Lot Leanord, Bernard Eagon., and Jamie Eagon
1804 Deed of Gift or Will of Mary Reinhart, Widow, deceased Will Book 1, page 49, 50 Greene County, PA
She had no property to give as she had a life estate. But the contents of her home, her clothes, and what money she had she could leave to whomever she liked. No executors were named in this so called "Deed of Gift or Will of Mary Reinhart" as was written in the records. "I give unto Susanna Strawhan and to Susanna Reinhart at my death all my household goods and wearing cloths, my Chest and whatever there is within the said Chest & whatever there is within the house at my death with all the grain with all the grain I shall leave unto them or their heirs or assigns has a free gift." Witnesses Present: Isaac Dolston, James Eagon She gave to Thomas and Barnet Reinhart 40 pounds to be split between them.
I believe this is the widow of Thomas Reinhart who died in 1793. She names the same sons of Thomas Reinhart - Thomas and Barnet. John T. and Susanna Reinhart were the grandchildren named in Thomas' 1793 will. Thomas called her Ann Marie in his will, but she may have been called Mary by others. James Eagon was a witness to both . This is not definite proof but does imply she may have been an Eagon.
5 Sept 1805 Isaiah Strawn and John T. Rinehart were granted Letters of Administration for the Deed of Gift or will of Mary Reinhart, widow, "no executors being named."
December 1805 Isaiah Strawn and John T. Rinehart draw up papers with their wives to split the property. Recorded on
28, June 1808 when the wives were interviewed separately from their husbands. John T. Rinehart had married Susanna Strawn and Susanna Rinehart had married Isaiah Strawn.
1820 census John T Rinehart and Isaiah Strawn are neighbors.
1840 census Susanna (Rinehart) Strawn (now a widow) is next to her brother John T. Rinehart
11 Dec 1864 John T. Rinehart wrote his will one week before he died. "I also appoint my son Uriah Rinehart and Jacob S. Rush, my executors.
I also want the farm and personal property less the reservations heretofore made to be sold by my executors. Given under my hand and seal this 11 day of December, A.D. 1864
John T. Rinehart (seal)"
