Johannes, his wife Veronica and their daughter Catherine left their home in Manheim, Germany in the early spring of 1727. They sailed on the "Friendship" to Pennsylvania. They landed in Philadelphia Pa Oct 15, 1727. Like many immigrants they chose PA due to the religious freedom guaranteed immigrants. He was one of the founders of the New Goshenhoppen Reformed Church. The 'Reed' family resided and owned lands in (now) Hoppenville.
Johannes died 3 Sep 1783 (aged 85) in Hoppenville, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and is buried in New Goshenhoppen UCC Cemetery, East Greenville, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. [2]
