Henry Rehling, Jr., b. Feb. 14, 1816 at Prussia, d. testate Apr. 26, 1895 at Suffern, Rockland County, NY. The June 1855 state census of Rockland County, NY says Henry had been residing in the county for 11 years, indicating he immigrated circa 1844. He took the oath of allegiance before Isaac A. Blauvelt, Court Clerk, at Rockland County Jan. 15, 1850, Isaac Osborn of Ramapo Twp, Rockland County, attesting to his residency and good character.
On Dec. 30, 1852, Henry m. Catherine Ann Sutherland, eldest dau. of Lawrence Sutherland and Antje (i.e., Ann) van Houten. Catherine was b. May 8, 1830 at Rockland County, NY and d. July 4, 1867 at Suffern, NY.
Henry Rehling, Jr. was a builder and carpenter. In the History of Bergen and Passaic counties, New Jersey... (William Nelson, 1882, p. 337-8) regarding Hohokus Twp. at Bergen County, NJ:
• The Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, at Ramsey's, was organized under the auspices of Rev. Ephraim De Yoe, on the 1st of February, 1867. Soon after a committee...[was] appointed to secure a building lot and erect thereon a church edifice. In the fall of 1867 a lot was secured of David Valentine, and the plan of the church having been drawn by Henry Rehling, work was begun by excavating for the foundation and basement. The contract for the erection and completion of the building was awarded in March 1868 to Mr. Rehling, but, owing to delay in securing the lumber, operations were not begun until the fall of that year. The corner-stone was laid Sept. 12, 1868, with appropriate religious services, Rev. Henry A. Pohlman, D.D., of Albany, having preached the sermon in the house of David Valentine, and Rev. L. D. Wells, of Saddle River, together with Revs. Demarest and Van Benschoten, of the Reformed (Dutch) Church, took part in the services. During the year 1869 the basement was so far completed as to make it useful for the holding of regular services...
Henry continued to reside at Suffern while the above church was under construction. But, Henry's two younger brothers, Richard and William Rehling, their respective wives, Henry's oldest son, Henry Rehling 3rd, and two of Henry's young Sutherland brothers-in-law, all carpenters, were residing together at Hackensack, NJ in the June 1870 census. Henry's brother-in-law Henry Craft of Suffern, a carpenter, likely was also involved in construction of the church.
Henry and Catherine had six children, all who died unmarried leaving no Rehling-Sutherland descendants. After their parents died, the five surviving children continued to live at the family residence at Suffern, NY until one by one each died leaving the youngest sibling to sell the residence in 1936:
• i. Helen Ann, b. in Nov. 1853, d. testate Oct. 8, 1903.
• ii. Mary Augusta, b. in Aug. 1855, d. testate Mar. 30, 1931.
• iii. Harriet "Hattie" E., b. in Nov. 1857, d. testate Jan. 19, 1929.
• iv. Malinda, b. Apr. 30, 1859, d. in infancy May 28, 1862.
• v. Albert Z., b. in Apr. 1861, d. testate June 24, 1915.
• vi. William H., b. in June 1867; on Feb. 13, 1936, as the last heir of his parents, he sold the family residence to Webster A. Orth (Rockland Deeds) and d. after Apr. 9, 1940 when he was enumerated as a resident guest of the Lafayette Hotel at Suffern, NY.
