sponsors at baptism were Henry Reilsdorfer & Catharine [Ref: Hinke NewBethel 1761-1853 p15]

It should be noted that "Berks County Church Records of the 18th Century" Volume 3, Compiled by F. Edward Wright, 1993, p37 states that Maria Catherine was born in 1774 and baptized May 15, 1774. This information is believed to be in error. [Ref: John Hendricks 12/14/1995]

---------- text from Maria Catharine's Birth and Baptismal Certificate:
"To these wedded persons, to wit, to John Reichelsterfer and his wedded wife, Anna Elizabeth, nee Hagenbuch, a daughter was born, viz. Maria Catharine Reichelsterfer was born in the year of our Lord Jesus 1775 the 10th day of April at 8 o'clock in the forenoon in the sign.
It is because all men are conceived and born in sin, according to the teaching of Christ, all children should be brought to Christ as the Evangelist Mark 10 V. 15 & C describes, that whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein, therefore through holy baptism incorporated in God's covenant of grace and by Swoerdberger, minister, the 18th of May baptised and named as above mentioned. The baptismal witnesses were Henry Reichelsterfer and his wedded wife above mentioned. Maria Catharine was born and baptised in America in the State of Pennsylvania, in Berks County, in Albany Township.
When we are scarcely born, it is from the first of life's journey until the cold grave in the earth, only a short measured step. Yea, with each year too ripe, for the bier. And who knows in what hour the last voice wakes us. For God has never with his mouth revealed this to any man. Whoseoever has now his house well set in order, will go out of the world with joy. For this security on the other hand, can resurrect eternal death." [Ref: John Hendricks 12/14/1995, MonnetteOE MONNET p921]
