Reinhart, Paul

Birth

Paul Reinhart born on March 29, 1813 in Berne to William Reinhart and his wife Rachel Larraway Reinhart.

Marriage & Children

Paul perhaps md. twice. His first wife was supposedly Maria Van Zandt. This may be erroneous because the source is the death certificate of his son Charles who was going by the name of George H. Sanford at the time of his death. The source for Charles / George's mother's maiden name would have been his wife. It could be that she had no reason to know the maiden name, or the maiden name could have been as bogus as the name George H. Sanford which Charles was using.

• son b. 1835-40
• Charles E. Reinhart ca. 1848

By second wife, Sarah Hanford. Death Certificate for William Handford Reinhart says his mother's maiden name was Hanford.

• William Hanford Reinhart. (a.k.a. John Reinhart)
