"Henrich" was a typical spelling at the time.

He was a great-grandson of the master builder Mannus Riedesel. His father, Johann Georg, had married Elisabeth Belz of Berleburg. This may have been a step up socially, but the Riedesels of his line in the hamlet of Melbach may also have maintained a closer connection to the ruling Sayn-Wittgensteins than their Riedesel kin in other villages. I only know of two children of this marriage, with both sons emigrating to Philadelphia.

German records show him as young man going to Rondorf (near Wuppertal) in 1791 then going to Holland in 1792. These were way stations for many America-bound religious dissenters.The next documented mention is of his marriage to Johanna Henriette Marie Luise Gäkler on February 18, 1817 back in Berleburg. She was from the village of Schwarzenau which was long a home to religious sectarians. Their daughter Philippine’s birth in 1818 is recorded in Berleburg.

The princely archives in Berleburg include this document:
Der Johann Henr. Riedesel zu Berleburg hat die Emigra-
tions Urkunde für sich, seine Frau und Tochter und für
seinen Bruder Joh. Ludwig heute in Empfang
genommen. Ich benachrichtige Sie hiervon.

Berleburg d[en] 17t[en] May 1819.

für den Landrath im Auftrag

(That is: Today, Johann Henr. Riedesel of Berleburg received emigration documents for himself, his wife and daughter, and for his brother Johann Ludwig. May 17, 1819)
---------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

The next we hear of Johann Henrich and his brother is as passengers on the brig Osgood out of Amsterdam that landed in Philadelphia on September 20, 1819. With Johann Heinrich was a wife Louise and a child.

Records of a church in Philadelphia show the baptism of a Johannes Riedesel, son of "Dokt. Johann Hein. Riedesel" and his wife, Marie Louise. The child was born January 3, 1820, and was baptised on March 16, 1820. The "doctor" title was an honorific bestowed in some of the German religious sects to especially honored members. He almost certainly did not practice as a physician.

Louise died in May 1840 at about 55 years of age and is buried in the Salems Cemetery.

Other Wittgensteiners belonged to this church. At one point it was the "United High German Evangelical Calvinist Reformed Church. Later it was simply the "Salem German Reformed Church."

I am 95% certain that the boy Johannes born in 1820 was the John B. Riedesel who was Missing in Action after the Battle of Chancellorsville in 1863. The latter left progeny, with the Riedesel name surviving in Philadelphia until 1963.

That she is the daughter of Karl Dickel is probable but not certain. Old personal notes say that Philipp Beitzel married a Magdalena Dickel from Reinerts house in Girkhausen, and Carl Dickel was a tenant of sorts in this house.
