In due time he migrated to Frederick County, Maryland, where he was living in 1776, when his son, Simon, enlisted in Captain Phillip Graybill's Company of the German Regiment, under the command of Colonel Ludwick Weltner. A short time later, Thomas Reinhart, Sr., with his wife Anna Maria, and five sons, Simon, Thomas, Joseph, John, and Barnet Reinhart, removed to the Ten Mile Country and settled at the head of Coal Lick Branch of South Ten Mile. Here they made their improvements, and two of the sons were to fall at the hands of the ever present Indians. When Thomas Reinhart, Sr., died in 1793, he mentioned these deceased sons in dividing his estate, giving their proper share to their children. His wife, Anna Marie, survived him as shown by the probate of his will on November 23, 1793. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Submitters note- This original homestead site has been visited by Hope Rinehart Beatty. It is about one mile south of the Collick Lutheran Church on Coal Lick Run. The farm ( as of 1998 ) was owned by the Simon Gordon family. A mausoleum has been constructed on the hill top behind the farm house. The original headstones are reputed to be in the mausoleum.
