As quoted in Reed Genealogy: "Among the children received in Holy Baptism at the New Goshenhoppen Reformed Church, in Upper Hanover Township, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, by the Rev. Frederich Wm. Von-der-sloot, during his pastorate there and recorded in the church book in 1784, was: 'Fridrich, son of Jacob and Anna Maria (Maurer) Riedt; b. July 9, 1784; bapt. Oct. 22, 1784; sponsors were (Rev.) Von-der-sloot and wife,' (Anna Margaretha Riedt). At the time of baptism the Rev. Von-der-sloot, being an uncle by marriage and in good ecclesiastical standing, was honored by having the child named for him. Montgomery County was created from Philadelphia County, Sept. 10, 1784, when the child was two months old."
Buried at Broad Run Lutheran Church cemetery.

[9457] The Reed Genealogy names Henry but gives no information about him or his family. It was through research of the Bedford and Somerset Co., PA records by J. Wynne McCoy that we were able to identify Henry as the son of Frederick Reed. My father had mentioned that the name was originally spelled "Riedt" so, when researching, we were careful to check all spellings of the name. It was a stroke of luck when I located Dr. Reed's genealogy at the Historical Society at Easton, PA. This book was well researched and written and, I believe, can be counted on for accuracy.
