No record has been found of Ulrich Rinehart, Jr. except there could have been an Ulrich Rinehart with his family in Botetourt county, Virginia after circa 1790.

Warren L. Rinehart of California, is a descendent of Peter Rinehart. He has a deed made in 1796, Peter and Uly Rinehart purchased 150 acres of land in Botetourt county on a Branch of Looney Creek. In 1850 Virginia Census, an Uly Rinehart, age 83, was living with a John Rinehart. In 1850 Ohio Census, Peter was age 86, so he, Uly,, and Owen may have been brothers and perhaps the sons of Ulrich Rinehart, Jr. An Owen Rinehart sold 75 acres back to Peter.

1817-1737=age 80. Perhaps Ulrich Rinehart, Jr. may have died around 1817. Peter Rinehart and his family lived there until 1817 when they moved to Preble county, Ohio and settled on a farm in Section 29, Lanier Township. He lived near to Jacob, Abraham, and David Rinehart, the sons of Adam Rinehart.
