Two convincing proofs: 1) George of Lohrhaupten, brother of Friedrich, married Catherine Krug at Lohrhaupten in 1755, and died there in 1775. Never in America. He is positively identified by his stated birth location and father's name.
2 10 km away, at the conjoining villages of Bieber, Büchelbach, and Röhrig, Johan Georg Heinrich Reitz baptism and marriage records are found, he born 1713 at Büchelbach to Henrich and Veronica (possibly Sophronica), (surname unknown) Reitz. He, uniquely identified by his father's information, married Anna Martha Köller in the same Bieber parish in 1744. In Himmels Church [Northumberland Co., PA] records, Anna Martha, is the only given name used for George's wife. Hessian archives at Marburg, Germany have record of them (and 2 daughters) being given permission to emigrate to Pennsylvania in March 1751. They arrived at Philadelphia in September 1751. They are our immigrant ancestors, not Friedrich's brother.
Images of original records are on Archion.de. Johan George our American immigrant's baptism record which names his parents is found on Archion.de; record from Kurhessen-Waldeck: Landeskirchliches Archiv Kassel > Gelnhausen > Bieber > KB 1709-1744, Bild 2028
His marriage record is found at Kurhessen-Waldeck: Landeskirchliches Archiv Kassel > Gelnhausen > Bieber > KB 1709-1744, Bild 2116.
His emigration record is at "Reitz, Johann Henrich, Büchelbach, 1751", in: Hessian emigrants <https://www.lagis-hessen.de/de/purl/resolve/subject/ha/id/1249> (as of December 1, 2019)

What might be the best way to find out [if possible, on WikiTree] whether screen shots taken from Archion's church records are in the public domain? Didn't readily find any info there.
Possibly, the addition of the English translation of the info onto the image might confer some copyright privilege that would allow it?
And Jillaine, it's not just WikiTree... When I read Judy Russell's imperatives to "read all terms and conditions i.e., follow the rules", of every computer, computer software, or visit any of the many web sites one might like to use — before using them, I get a difficult impression that she's out to convince me (and others) to quit genealogy.
I have better ways to spend my final years. :)
BTW, have a look at her recent blog post, which is one reason I took another look. https://www.legalgenealogist.com/2021/08/04/one-big-change-at-ancestry/

Sir,
I am seeking to determine whether I am permitted to display a small portion of Archion documents I downloaded, pertaining to my ancestor's baptism and marriage.
Reading Terms and Conditions, I see these statements, but which seem to me to be contradictory.
