• Notes

  John Reist, "was born July 18th, 1763. On December 28th, 1790, he was married to Susannah Huber who was born May 21st, 1771, and died September 15th, 1850. In May, 1826, they with their large family moved to Canada and settled in Waterloo County, near the village of Bridgeport, on the farm now possessed by John Stroh. Here they resided for nearly one year when they purchased the farm now possessed by his grandson Isaac Reist, near Kossuth, Ontario, where he died December 2nd, 1843. To them were born twelve children, all of whom settled in this county save Abraham who remained in Penn Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where his descendants still reside." Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.
