George Landis Reiff (4/7/1740 – 1/24/1808), George Reiff III. That is, George I was Hans George. George II was John George Reiff (c.1692-1759), oldest son of Hans George Reiff. Genealogists were unsure of the maiden name of Jacob Reiff's wife so they took to differentiating in this way, but the mother of George Landis Reiff mother was Anna Landis. George III is of course the second son of Jacob the Elder. He married Elizabeth Hendricks on 2/15/1764. Along with his father and brother Jacob, he was recorded as a private in Captain Barnet Haines Company for Lower Skippack in the Revolution, but the same provisos for Mennonites at war may apply to him as to his son (below) in the War of 1812. He and his wife, Elizabeth Hendricks are buried at Lower Skippack Mennonite Cemetery. Hendricks of course is an illustrious name in Pennsylvania, forever dignified by the signing of the protest against slavery by Gerhard Hendricks in 1688.
