Married Adam Bieber 1782
Daughter of Johann Bernhart Reber and Magdalena Hahn, a daughter of Conrad Hahn
Adam Bieber, second son of Valentine Bieber, born in Zweibruecken, Province of Alsace, Germany, July 7, 1754. Died March16, 1842, aged 87 years 8 months 9days. Married about 1782 to Magdalena Reber of Berks County, PA, Born October 11, 1754, and Died February 4, 1813, and aged 58 years 3 months 23 days. Both are buried in the Old Hill Graveyard east of the borough of Muncy, PA.
She was a daughter of Johann Bernhart Reber and his wife Magdalena, a daughter of Conrad Hahn. The parents migrated to this country from Langenseebold, then in Hesse-Cassel, now belonging; to the kingdom of Prussia, arrived at port of Philadelphia in1742. They came with two sons; Johannes was six years old and Ludwig Frederick August was two years old. Three sons were born in America, viz., Thomas. Valentine and Peter, and several daughters. One was Magdalena, who married Adam Bieber. From these five sons all the persons by the name of Reber in this country have descended. Valentine and Peter proceeded to the West upon obtaining their majority. The oldest, Johannes, was a farmer and lived in the neighborhood where his parents first lived. The parents upon their arrival in 1742 proceeded immediately to the Tulpehocken settlement and located at the "big bend" of the Tulpehocken Creek, at a place then and still known as the "Blue Marsh,'' where the father took up a tract of land and began farming.
The son Johannes was the progenerator of the Reber family in Berks County, PA.
He was married twice; name of first wife was Orbengust and that of his second Haas. By the first marriage he had two children, John and Magdalena (who intermarried with John Richards), and by the second three children, Nicholas, Abraham and Michael. John Reber, the third, was born September 20, 1768 in Heidelberg (now Lower Heidelberg Township), where he afterwards also carried on farming. By the manuscript papers which he left it appears that he settled up numerous estates, having acted as a fiduciary for many people in his neighborhood. He was married to Magdalena Rathmacher of Macungie, in Northampton County (now Lehigh County), PA, and, had issue 15 children. viz.: Magdalena, Barbara, Christina, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Sarah, Anna, Maria, Joseph, John, Benjamin, Susannah, Jonas, Daniel and Samuel, and one died in infancy. He died May 12, 1844, aged nearly 76 years. The Reber family became quite prominent in Berks Co. Among them was the late James T. Reber, banker and general hardware, today known as Bard's Hardware Store, 8th and Penn Streets, Reading, PA. James T. Reber was a son of Benjamin Reber, the 4th generation, born April 14, 1807. Issue 7 children, viz., Richard T., James T., Charles, Sarah, Rebecca, Eliza and John died in infancy.

------------Magdalena Bieber (41768962)
Suggested edit: I would respectfully submit that Magdalena was actually the daughter of Johann Leonhard Reber (1706-1778), not Johann Bernhard. There is a 1783 quitclaim deed in Berks Co. signed by the heirs of Leonhard Reber, stating that they had each received their share of the payment their brother George made for his father's land. One of the daughters is Magdalena, married to Adam Bieber. I would be happy to send you a copy of the deed. I have done extensive research on both Reber families in Berks Co. Morris Reber's genealogy mistakenly asserted that Johann Bernhard emigrated on the Snow Two sisters in 1738, based on Rupp's translation of the ship's list. However, the signature in 1738 is clearly Leonhard and matches the signature of Leonhard Reber on many documents in Windsor Township Bernhard Reber did indeed come from Langenselbold. I have also studied the original German church records of Langenselbold. Johann Bernhard died in Langenselbold. He never emigrated. His son Johannes emigrated in 1742 and settled in Bern Township. I'd be happy to share the original sources I have concerning the two families.
