Jackie,

Sorry, no. The will of Jacob's father, written in 1752, mentions only him and one sister.

> In April 1822 Jacob Rohrer, then the oldest native born citizen of the county, died. He was born in 1746, when the county was still a wilderness and only ten years after the very first settlement within its limits. He could remember the French and Indian war and had doubtless fled with his parents to Fredericktown from the Indians and had heard what few persons now living have ever heard -- the terrible war whoop of the painted savage. Notwithstanding an exceeding liberality, giving and doing deeds of charity, he amassed a considerable fortune.
