Jackie -
Thanks! That age would certainly make him one of the early settlers. I

> 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.
