This is an image of original 1713 church record available (by subscription) through Archion.de.

I contacted Archion.de about two provisions in Terms and Conditions regarding use of images. They replied:

Of course, you may use images from Archion for your publication. Please indicate Archion as the source. Under the following link you will find our citation hints: https://www.archion.de/index.php?id=754&L=0

So the source information follows their advice, with exception of using perma-links.

His father was Henrich Reitz, and his mother was Phronica (Veronica) or Sophronica, surname unknown. His father's name and family location agree for baptism and marriage records. George, the immigrant to America, was not Friedrich's brother.

This George is know to be the husband of Anna Martha Koller/Koehler/Köhler by virtue of having the same father and same family location) specified in their 1744 marriage record at Bieber Evangelisch Kirch. "Anna Martha" is known to be the wife of Johan George Reitz who settled near present-day Rebuck, Northumberland County, PA from many Himmel Church records, none of which gave her surname at birth.

"Johan George Reitz of Lohrhaupten" has been proven not to be the person who emigrated to America in 1751. He [identified by same father and location] was found to have married Catherine Krug at Lohrhaupten in 1755, and to have died there in 1775. That George never came to America.

It is one of the few errors in Rev. J. J. Reitz's 1930 book on descendants of Johan Friedrich Reitz.
