. . . . . . (Some lists show a 12th child "John Riehm", I think this is confusion with "Johann")

1m) Daughter Susanna m.1750 Daniel Difft, same Difft as 2c) below.
1n) Vinnie Ream, descendent of Mathias/Matthias (1726-1789) via her Father, AND descendent of Nicholas and then Abraham via her grand mother. Family tree.
1o)  2nd Son Abraham b.1718 "The Tavern Keeper", d. 1783 Find-a-grave, had quite a few sons (maybe 14, wife Joanna Marie (Anna) Leinback), many with similar names as his nephews, especially "Abraham" and "Andrew", which are points of potential confusion on many lists.
. . . . This Abraham b.1718 is not the same as my lineage #3) Abraham further below.
. . . . . We know of at least three of Abraham b.1718 children's names: Abraham Jr. "the Miller" (1746-1824), Andrew Ream "the Drummer Boy" (1760-1845) (His DAR record says b.1960, not 1763) m. Barbara Schwartzwaller, and Juliana m. Rupp
. . . . . One of Abraham b.1718 sons was:
. . . . . . Abram (Abraham Jr?) (1746-1824) "the Miller", Find-a-grave, who moved from Reamstown to Fairheld County Ohio in 1798, who settled in Sugar grove Ohio (then Ream's Mill).   See: A genealogical history of the Ream family in Fairfield County, Ohio 1908 pdf   source
. . . . . . | This Abraham b.1746, m. Rosannah, 14 children. six sons and eight daughters, of this number twelve were born in PA.
. . . . . . | This Abraham b.1746, had a son named Andrew (1760-1845), the "Drummer Boy", adding to the Andrew name confusion. His DAR record says b.1960, not 1763. See notes bottom of Norman Bruce Ream
. . . . . . | This Abraham b.1746, had a son named Sampson Ream (1777-1851)   m. Anna Stukey (sister of Judge Joseph Stukey),   13 children
. . . . . . | This Abraham b.1746, had a daughter named Mary Ream Stukey 1793–1857. The Stukey with Reams started here with Sampson & Mary. All original settler families in Ohio Ream's Mill.
. . . . . . | This Abraham b.1746, one example Lineage: Abraham (b1718), son Abraham (b1746), son Absalom (b1785), son Abraham (b1822), son Thomas Abraham (b1848), son Leonidias (b1873).
1p) Son Andrew (1737-1813) was an ancestor of Norman Bruce Ream.   Andrew was a Captain in the Revolutionary War (2nd Company 3rd Batt. PA Militia) Document, he left Lancaster Co.in 1787, with his family of eight sons. He settled in Bedford now Somerset Co., PA, where he died in 1813. Grave Stone with wife Susanna, are buried in the Ream Cemetery at Ursina. The Andrew name is also a point of confusion, because Nicholas had a son Andrew(b.1757), and Abraham also had a son Andrew (b.1763), and others.   This Andrew is not the "Drummer boy", Andrew (1760-1845) His DAR record says b.1960, not 1763) , son of brother Abraham b.1746 as noted above. See notes bottom of Norman Bruce Ream,

1r) A random Riehm Family Tree Link that I found during May 2009 and still there 2023, accuracy unverified, source is a Rootsweb webpage.   May be a good starting place for those of you who occasionally email me asking about various Ream descendants.


2) Nicholas Riehm
b. 1721 Lancaster County (probably Leacock Township)
d. June 6, 1774 Reamstown, PA. Presumably buried in the Reamstown Cemetery, but no marker.   Find-a-grave
Notes:
2a) Wife #1: Elizabeth Sarah Reiter, b. April 25, 1723 in Neureut, Baden, Germany, d. ~1761, m. April 26, 1743.   She was the daughter of Michael Reiter and Magdalena De Gage. (~ Reuterin ~ Reuter)
2b) Nicholas was a weaver, and had little interest in farming.
2c) He sold the land he received from Eberhardt in 1760 to Daniel Difft, bought one of Tobias’s village lots, and built one of first houses in Reamstown.
2d) They had 9 children: Sarah (1744-?), Julianna (1746-?), Johannes (1747-?), Abraham (1747-1817), Jacob (1751-1813), Joseph (1753-?), Tobias (1755-?), Andrew (Andreas) (1757-1833), David (1762-?).
2e) Son Andrew Ream (1757-1833) notes to help avoid name confusion: , Andrew: of Clark County OH resided during the Revolution at Lancaster PA. Was a private in company of Capt. Isaac Adams, Col. Elders Battalion for 13 months (pension #54067). b. 14 Mar 1757 Lancaster; d. 10 Oct 1833 Clark County OH;   m. Mary Zug (1767-1835);   Children:   Susanna (1787-1867) m. George Deaton,   Benjamin b.1789,   John (1792-1867) m. Peggy,   Samuel b.1794,   Mary b.1797,   Andrew Jr. (1797-1867) Photo m.

2f) Wife #2: Anna Catharina Hartman, b. ~1727 in Erlington, Earl Twp, PA, m. Aug 15, 1769. There are no records of any Children from this marriage.


3) Abraham Ream
b. Aug 24, 1749 (or 1747) Eberhardt's farm in Lancaster County
d. Aug 1817 His farm in Haines Township, Centre County, PA.   Buried in Tusseyville, PA.
         Abraham's Grave Stone incorrectly says b.1737, it's actually 1749 or 1749, see Dave's written comments Cemetery Notes
               This means that the findagrave.com webpage stone for Abraham Ream (1749-1817) is the actual stone but has the wrong year of birth etched. At least as of my writing this 2017.
               As a matter of fact, the webpage on findagrave.com also has the wrong 'father' for Abraham listed as being Jacob while Nicholas is correct.
               And his DAR record has it listed correctly as 1749.   Ancestor #: A093967. Daughters of the American Revolution, DAR Genealogical Research Databases.
               The grave stone is the accurate stone, and wrong year, but because of the year-of-birth confusion folks research becomes messy quickly.

Obituary:   The Topeka Daily State Journal      Thursday, January 31, 1918    Gave Life To Maker. Rev. T.J. Ream Was An Industrious Church Worker.      Rev. Theodore J. REAM, who died here Wednesday, was born April 14, 1853, in Stark county, Ohio. He came to Kansas in 1877 and was admitted on trial to Kansas conference and appointed as supply to the Venengo charge. In 1878 he was united in marriage to Miss Cassie HANES of Ohio. After serving in Venango, Delphos and Russell in the Kansas conference, he transferred to the east Ohio conference, where he served Unionville, Byesville, Summerfield, Damascus and Columbiana charges. In 1889 he transferred back to the Kansas conference, serving Auburn charge, then to the Lowman Memorial church in Topeka. After serving this church for four years he transferred to the Des Moines conference, giving nine years of service to different charge in Iowa. He then decided to return to his old conference in Kansas that he might finish his work where he began his ministry, serving Clay Center and the Central Avenue church in Kansas City, Kan. In 1909 he was appointed, by Bishop QUAYLE, district superintendent of the Topeka district, serving the full term of six years. After leaving the district he served Hiawatha church for two years. At the last session of the conference he was appointed financial secretary of the Methodist Home for the Aged in Topeka. He entered upon this new field of activity with the same cheerful spirit that always characterized his work and was succeeding in a splendid manner for this worthy institution, when fatal sickness closed the career of the servant of God.      The Rev. Mr. REAM is survived by his widow, six children, Dr. Frank REAM of New York City; Clarence REAM of Center Point, Ia.; Dwight REAM of Camp Pike, Ark.; Merriam REAM, of Iowa City; Joseph REAM, of Topeka, and Mrs. Donald S. STANLEY of Mankato, Kan. The funeral will be held Friday at 3 o'clock form the Lowman M.E. church.  Source

This is from a gentleman in Mexico named Gustavo who searched the cemetery for Merrill Ream 10/17/2019:
Hello there, I got your request about the Grave picture but I was not successful, I was told at cemetery that in the year 1990 they started to keep records of who was buried and where.... So there is almost no records prior to that. San Miguel de Allende is a small Mexican town full of Americans living here. In 1972 they opened a new section at cemetery only for Americans. I just found 3 tombs from 1973, I walked the entire ''American'' section..... After that I walked around the place for an hour but since they have no records it can take weeks to walk every isle and see where his could be....Gustavo.

Tribute to Steve By Dave, Feb 2009:
Subject: Steve's Birthday; Brother Steve would have been 75 today.

Sorry I’m a date late in responding to this important anniversary. In addition to Steve’s birthday, it is now nearly thirty years since that fateful rainy night near Pine Knoll Drive when the Volvo skidded into the ditch. Mentioning Steve’s name pulls out a multitude of memories of my big brother. I’ll share just a few.

When we were boys and young men, I suspect that I had more contact with Steve than with my other siblings, probably because of our closeness in age. But he was always the big brother; I was never really his equal, or his match in size, strength, knowledge, or experience. Much of our working together was centered on projects of the Old Man, such as the farm in Millstone, the rented acreage near Middlebush, and the ranch near Tallahassee. On the latter project, the OM had so much confidence in Steve that he was the only one allowed to drive the Cat D4 in our land clearing and ranch development efforts. To witness Steve using the bulldozer to uproot trees was to watch an expert in action.

In Middlebush, he and I—and the OM on weekends—spent a good part of each summer for several years around 1950 raising wheat, barley, and oats. In harvesting, Steve would drive the F-20 tractor while I rode the bagger platform on the combine. I would fill each burlap bag with harvested grain and slide it onto the ground. Then, at the end of the day, Steve would load the several dozen 60-pound bags onto the large truck and stack them according to a precise pattern for transport to the grain elevator in Hopewell. This was all hard physical labor—which Steve relished.

When the Ream family moved from New Jersey to Tallahassee in the summer of 1952, the first step in the move was for Stef to drive the truck (and me riding shotgun), loaded with farm equipment, all the way for 1,000 miles. After offloading, we drove all the way back together. The trip was quite an adventure for a couple of teenagers! I believe that Jack and Steve then did another round trip together, followed by Steve and me on the final one-way trip in the truck.

Steve was always a hard worker. He was the strongest close relative I ever had. He loved to show off his physical prowess, as well as embarrassing others he considered snobs and stuffed shirts. Some considered him a bit rough and boisterous, but I always preferred to see “Horse” as a big friendly bear, warm and cuddley. He was also quite a party boy, beginning at Princeton High and continuing through Princeton U. I recall spending a football weekend with him at the Cannon Club—rarely have I seen so much beer being sloshed around! But there were certainly other sides to his personality.

Steve was a highly intelligent and creative man—even as he pooh-poohed intellectualism in general. To recognize his intelligence required only a glance at his academic and career achievements. He had a way of artfully turning a phrase for others’ amusement (and don’t forget his classic cow call!) He occasionally accused me of being a “professional student,” with my nose stuck in a book. Politically, he loved to flaunt his conservative beliefs; I recall his tongue-in-cheek comment in 1964 that Barry Goldwater was just a bit too far to the left.

He was also a great family man. He loved getting together with his close relatives—especially if there was a party. He was a most capable best man at my wedding in 1966. He and high school sweetheart Mary Jo raised a couple of fine children and stayed together for life. I regret that he never had any grandchildren; he would have been the best grandfather ever. After Caitlin was born, Steve made a loving fuss about her whenever we were together.

Here’s how a couple of non-Reams who knew Stef described him: “Oh, Steve, you are so BASIC!” (Virginia Miller, the OM’s #2.) “He’s just a big ol’ honn-gree boy.” (Elizabeth, our cook for a while in Tallahassee, on witnessing Steve’s appetite.)

I shall never forget Stef as a loving big brother, a very positive role model, a truly smart guy, and a wonderful pal. I still think of him quite often in my musing about the past. It was such a shame that he died as early as he did.

Obituary:   Davidson "Dave" Ream    Dave Ream's Memorial Program       Legacy.com, August 21, 2017 Link (old) Davidson “Dave” Ream, 80, a longtime resident of Evanston, died August 21, 2017 at Westminster Place in Evanston, where he had been in hospice care. He will be remembered as someone who loved his family, his work and his community, and who lived his life with enthusiasm and joy. Dave was a loving father, husband, partner, son, and sibling who gave generously to people and organizations dear to him. Everyone who met Dave found a friend who was always there to lend a sympathetic ear, helpful advice or encouraging words. A legal writer and editor with firms in San Francisco and Chicago, Dave authored numerous books and articles with a finely-tuned logic and a love of the law. Throughout his life, Dave maintained an intense curiosity about the world and a great zest for living that manifested itself in deep discussion of everything from the finer points of the U.S. Constitution to finding the best Indian food in Chicago to the Cubs’ chances in the upcoming season. Dave was born May 2, 1937 to Joseph Ream and Anita Ream (Biggs) in Ossining, New York, and raised in Millstone, New Jersey, Princeton, New Jersey, and Tallahassee, Florida. From an early age, Dave had a fascination with the far corners of the globe, leading to a lifelong love of travel that included multiple journeys to Latin America, Europe and Asia. His travels also took him all over the United States to indulge his passion for genealogy or “digging up bones” as he called it; he was never happier than when he discovered a new branch in his family tree. A veteran of the U.S. Army, he was a graduate of Phillips Academy, Yale University, University of Virginia School of Law and Boalt Hall School of Law at University of California, Berkeley. He maintained strong ties to Yale throughout his life, including interviewing prospective students, volunteering at Yale Elementary School in Chicago, and attending regular luncheons of the “O.F.C.” of fellow Yale alumni. He served one term on the Evanston City Council, spent many years volunteering with the Mental Health Association of Evanston, and was active in the Democratic Party of Evanston. Dave is survived by his children, Michael Ream (Judy Walden) of Des Moines, Iowa and Caitlin Cowan (Michael) of Minneapolis, Minnesota; his partner, Jane Baker and her children John Negronida and Beth Negronida (Charles Saxe); grandchildren Sofia Ream, Tabitha Cowan, Susanna Cowan, Lindsey Saxe and Eric Saxe; his former wife and the mother of his children, Judith Ream (Krampitz); siblings Jackson Ream, Nancy Rose and Christopher Ream; and numerous nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends all over the world. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Stephen Ream. Dave’s family wishes to thank the staffs of Westminster Place, McGaw Care Center and NorthShore Hospice Care. A memorial service will be held Saturday, September 23 at 2 p.m. in Elliott Chapel at Westminster Place. Burial will be November 11 at Oakland Cemetery in Tallahassee, Florida. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of one’s choice. Place of birth: Ossining, N.Y. 1937 Place of death: Evanston, Ill. 2017.    Gravesite: Oakland Cemetery in Tallahassee, Florida

7h) Show Career History (brief)

1925	Graduated from University of Kansas (KU) with a B.A. in Economics.    Click here for The KU Sweater Story , Fall 1923
1927	Graduated from Yale Law School with an LL.B. degree. Passed the New York bar exam and went to work with the prestigious (then and now) Wall Street law firm now known as Cravath Swaine & Moore.
1930-1932	(not sure of the exact months and years) Lived in Paris while working for the Cravath firm.
1934	After spending much time at Cravath tending to CBS legal matters, joined the CBS staff as the young company's first in-house lawyer. i.e., he established the CBS Legal Department.
1934-1952	Full time employee of CBS. During these years, he moved slowly from the legal department into more general management of the company. At one point, his title was Secretary of the company. In about 1947, he was appointed Executive Vice President (and a member of the Board of Directors), the #3 position (behind Paley and Stanton) in the management of CBS. This was his highest position, which he held until he "retired" for the first time in 1952.
1952-1956	Tallahassee. Built a cattle ranch, out of raw undeveloped land, with the help of his sons. Sold 1958.
1956-1957	Deputy Director of NSA. Lived in Washington, but did some commuting to Tallahassee. NSA's Ream Road - 1998
1957-1959	Back full time with CBS. Vice President in charge of the Washington office of CBS.
1960-1965	CBS moved him back to New York, to run a new department called Program Practices. This was a less-than-sincere effort by CBS to restore its good image after the quiz show scandals.
1965	Final retirement. For the rest of his life, he never had a professional or money-making job. But he certainly enjoyed his retirement! Building (and then living in) cabins in Putnam County, New York and Sonoma County, California. Living in San Miguel and finally Alabama. Getting married a couple more times. Traveling all over the world. Visiting children.

Our Heritage:  
What is our non-American origin? Or, to ask it another way, to which countries in Europe can we trace our ancestry, the answer would probably be something like: "mostly English, with some Scottish and Irish thrown in, and one strong line of German." In short, like most Americans, we are a mixture. One fact that does tie us more closely to Germany is that we know exactly which place in Europe the Riehms lived just before migrating to America. And we do have lots of living "cousins" in that town. We are not able to say the same about the Biggses, the Davidsons, the Haneses, et al. One of my genealogical research goals is to find some of those other villages in Europe.   --- Dave Ream   (April 2001)

I cannot verify any Irish blood in our Ream or Biggs roots. Cassander Hanes (OM's mother) dubbed her Hanes roots as "Scotch Irish." I suspect that that meant that her ancestors came from Northern Ireland, which was then (and still is today) fiercely independent of the Catholics that dominate the rest of Ireland.
The Biggs-Davidson line is all English, except for the Davidson Scots. Note that, with no exceptions, every one of those ancestors was a Protestant, of one denomination or another.   --- Dave Ream   (March 2005)

Obituary:   The Rockwall Texas Herald      Published on February 8, 2022    Original   Source Joan Chicko Ream, 89, passed away peacefully on Jan. 30, 2022 after valiantly fighting the ravages of COVID-19 for three weeks in a Boise hospital. Joan was born and raised in Passaic, New Jersey, (born Dec. 28, 1932), the daughter of Andrew Chicko and Nell Chicko. She graduated from Passaic High School, where she was an honor student, in 1950. She continued her education at Fairleigh Dickinson University, where she studied mechanical engineering, a rarity for a female in those days. She was also proud of the fact that she was chosen as Miss Passaic County, in the New Jersey contest for Miss America in 1952. The next few years, she held public relations jobs with New Jersey companies, including Ciba Geigy Pharmaceutical Company. In 1968, she married Jackson "Jack" Ream, and in 1970 gave birth to a son Darren. During this time, she became active in residential real estate sales in the Madison and Chatham areas of New Jersey, as well as with charity organizations in the area. In 1984, the family moved to Dallas, where Jack had accepted a job with a Dallas bank. Joan then became active as a docent with the Dallas Museum of Art and also the SMU Meadows Museum, and did volunteer work with some smaller art organizations and charities. After Jack retired in 1999, they moved to Heath, in Rockwall County, Texas, where Joan participated in local civic and community activities. Both Joan and Jack loved to travel and took many trips around the country and overseas to places in Europe and Asia, as well as favorite vacation spots in Mexico. They also kept busy managing a farm they owned in Kaufman County, and some rent houses in the area. In 2015, Joan purchased a mountain home in New Meadows, Idaho, north of Boise, where her son Darren and his family had relocated. That home was nicknamed "Hawks Nest" and became Joan's favorite place to spend her time enjoying the forests and relaxing lifestyle. Joan leaves behind her husband Jack, son Darren and wife Lisa in Boise, son William and wife Donna in Alabama, son John and wife Marybeth in New Jersey, a brother Jerry Cajko in Ohio, and seven grandchildren. The family plans a memorial service at a later date. Also see 1940 Census from Passiac NJ.   As per the 1940 U.S. Census. Andre G Chicko was born about 1911. In 1940, he was 29 years old and lived in Passaic, New Jersey, with his wife, Nell, and 2 daughters. Parents: Andrew G. Chicko 1911–1996   Nell Didjulis Chicko 1915–2000   Sister: Jacqueline Chicko 1934–Deceased   Brother: Jerry   familysearch.org   ancestry.com

   Comments shared from a family member: The book is from 1977 and is just over 700 pages. It is somewhat centered around members of the Ream Family Historical Society. Pages 91 through 291 are the lineages of each member, nearly 1000, but in order of membership, so they are not arranged by family AT ALL. Pages 292 through the end are records of the Pennsylvania Archives, in order of their "Series", which seems somewhat random.

He also was a member of the Community Historians of Lancaster, the Lancaster County Historical Society and the National Genealogical Society. He was also an associate member of the U.S. Archives. His wife, Eva C. Wuchter Ream, died in 1966. Before retiring in 1960, Ream worked for the U.S. Army as a railroad transportation specialist in Washington." Intelligencer Journal (Lancaster, PA), Tuesday, 17 Nov 1987, pg. 5. Forest wrote the book: "Some Early American Ream and Allied Families" by Forest V. Ream. 1977 - 727 pages.   PDF    His Ream linege as shown above is on page 91/113. There is another book named "Ream Family History and Genealogy", 1977 - 705 pages, which is actually in the above book, starting at about page 24. Comments shared from a family member: The book is from 1977 and is just over 700 pages. It is somewhat centered around members of the Ream Family Historical Society. Pages 91 through 291 are the lineages of each member, nearly 1000, but in order of membership, so they are not arranged by family AT ALL. Pages 292 through the end are records of the Pennsylvania Archives, in order of their "Series", which seems somewhat random. There are two competing Find-A-Grave memorials.   #1   Find-a-grave   #2   Find-a-grave

     See Ream Field Plaque: In 1918, it was renamed in honor of Army Major William Roy Ream, the first flying surgeon of the American Army and the first flight surgeon killed in an aircraft accident.

Unrelated to Major Ream above, but of occasional inquiry interest...       Ream Naval Base in Cambodia    and   Ream National Park in Cambodia       The Cambodian Ream Naval Base name is unrelated to any Ream person.   In Cambodia "Ream" was originated in a Cambodian Poem named Reamker.   In this 7th century poem the hero is some guy named Preah Ream who is an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu.   The poem and story is a national epic of Cambodia.   Hence the region land area is called Ream.   The wider region near the base also includes the Ream National Park which was established in 1993 and just took on the name of the region.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reamker
