Andrew Reber was a Yeoman farmer from Tyron County, New York during the American Revolution. Reber with the help of his slaves and son produced grain from his fields and fruit, eggs, milk, and vegetables with the help of his wife and daughters. He was very involved in local government by serving on the Palatine District Committee in 1774. While on this committee, Reber strongly voiced his opinion against the aggressive acts of the British parliament.

Reber also served on the Palatine District Committee in May, 1775 which once again voiced its grievances against Britsh Parliament. In June of 1775, the first meeting of the entire Tryon County Committee was held with Andrew Reber being one of the 43 delegates that were present. In September of 1775, the Committee appointed John Frey as High Sheriff of the County of Tryon after having trouble with a Sherriff who had British interests. Although, Andrew Reber is not on the list, there is a Andreas Reber who we can suspect is the same person due to people having multiple alias during this time.
