  Familysearch.org: ID: LHD7-81Y The beginning of the settlement of the communitv which later received the name of Reamstown goes back to the little town of Leimen, Germany. There Johann Eberhard Ream (born October 6, 1687) followed the trade of a baker. He was married to Anna Elisabeth Schwab (born October 10, 1692), daughter of Jost (Joseph) Schwab, also a baker. For the sake of more freedom to worship Almighty God after the dictates of his conscience and with an eye open to the promise of a rich, new life in the new world, Mr. Ream took his wife and their two children and moved with his wife's parents and their children to America. The date of their entry into this country is somewhat uncertain but the most reasonable supposition is that they came sometime late in the year 1717. They settled at a place called Conestoga in what is now eastern Lancaster County. At the time they came, however, Lancaster County was still a part of Chester County. The first cemetery in this area was Ream's Cemetery, or more populary known today as Reddig's Cemetery. The land was set aside August 31, 1762, by Andrew Ream, one of the sons of Eberhard Ream, as a family burial place. One acre of land was given and on it also was to be built a Lutheran and Reformed Church. Nothing more of this church or plans for it is to be learned from the histories. It is in this cemetery that the early Ream ancestors are buried. The gravestones of Eberhard and Elizabeth. his wife, are now barely legible. Translated into English, the, stones read as follows: "Here rest the bones of a very honest dear old grandfather John Eberhard Rihm, born 1687 in Europe, married in the year 1711, with Elizabeth Schwab, came 1717 to America, where his family of ten (elsewhere we learn there were eleven) children increased to 150 souls. He fell asleep in Jesus the 22nd. of August 1779, his age 92 years." "Here lies buried of Eberhard Rihrn, his wife Elizabeth, nee Schwob, born in Europe, at Diren, the 10th. of October 1692. In marriage she lived 49 years, 7 months, 18 days. Passed away the 4th of March 1761, her age 68 years, 4 months, 22 days.
