Connie and list(or whoever may be interested): When working on my Butcher and Oden lines from Montgomery County and Washington County Maryland I found a John Rohr living, age 93 born in Maryland, with Jacob and Mary Majors in Poolesville, Montgomery County Md. Jacob was a millwright and had his own mill born in Md. and Mary was b. in Virginia. This was per the 1850 census.

Don't know if this helps anyone but thought I would pass it on.

Mike -
Thanks for the information on the Rohrers in MD. I haven't researched them
much, so I don't know little about the MD Rohrers other than that there were
a lot of them! If you can point me toward information on Jacob Rohrer, I
would appreciate it. I would love to find out if Dr. Peter Trisler's wife
Elizabeth was a Rohrer, but I think it is more likely that she was a Howser.
I think it is going to take a lot of digging in MD, and possibly even PA or
Germany, to ferret out that information, if it even exists

Thanks!
Connie.
