Johann Adam Weidner, Jr (1688-1743)
& his wife
Anna Maria Weidner (born 1690)

People of German decent were referred to as "Dutch" in Pennsylvania, though they came from Germany and Switzerland. "High Dutch (High German)" for the Germans and German speaking Swiss referred to their coming from the higher elevations, the mountains, not a level of birth. "Reiff," Name Meaning

 South German and German: from Middle High German reif ‘(barrel) hoop’, ‘ribbon’, ‘cord’, hence a metonymic occupational name for a cooper or maker of ribbons, or from a house or tavern with the sign of a hoop.
