Ludwig Riehl, born about 1746 in Germany

I am looking for any confirming information on the as yet uncorroborated story about my 7th ggrandfather, Ludwig Riehl. He was born about 1744/6, possibly in Hamburg, Germany. In 1752, he was reportedly kidnapped in Hamburg, brought to America, and sold as an indentured servant to a farmer in Berks Co., PA. When he was freed from his indenture, he married an Amish girl named Veronica Fisher, and apparently adopted the Amish religion himself. His children and and many of his descendants up to now are Amish. He moved to Mifflin Co., PA, and died there in 1806. Does anyone have any documentation confirming, or refuting, this story. Please e-mail me.
