A bible published in Nurnberg in 1765 (sold on ebay) has notes for John Rohrer, who emigrated to America in 1750. John died in 1772. His wife was named Snavaly and she died in 1788. They had 7 sons and one daughter. One son was Isaac (1743-1804), who married Elizabeth Groff. Isaac and Elizabeth had children Elizabeth, Martin, John, Jacob, Maria, Henry, Isaac, and Abraham. Isaac was born on May 1, 1787. Further details are given about the family of Isaac [perhaps the owner of the bible], grandson of Johannes. This bible record agrees with the records that we show. The bible appears to have more family information than appears in the ebay images.
c 1735 Johannes Rohrer reportedly married Elizabeth Snavely, daughter of Isaac Schnebli. [1] [2] [3] [4] We seek evidence to document this marriage.
Johanne Roer met Elizabeth Snavely and married her about the year 1735. To the union of Johanne and Elizabeth were born seven sons and one daughter: John, Christian, Jacob, Isaac, Henry, Abraham, David, and Magdalena. [5]
1743 Johannes Rohrer, perhaps a son of Henrich Rohrer, was a Mennonite living in Hamm, Germany with a wife, a son, and a daughter [this is inconsistent with some of the birthdates that we show. Several of the birthdates we show for children are no more than undocumented guesses, which might be wrong]. [6] [7]
1749 Jacob and Johannes Rohrer [Rohr] sailed from Rotterdam to Philadelphia via Plymouth, England on the ship "Saint Andrew", James Abercrombie, Master. They took the oath at the courthouse in Philadelphia on September 9. Isac Schnebeli [perhaps a brother-in-law of Johannes Rohrer] was listed adjacent to Johannes Rohr on the ship list. [8] [9] [10]
1751 John Rora and John Rora senior were named on the tax list for Lampeter Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [17] Richard Warren Davis suggests that John Rora senior (immigrant of 1728) was an uncle of Johannes Rohrer (immigrant of 1749).

1759 John Rorer, John Rorer sawmiller, and Jacob Rorer were taxed in Lampeter Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [27]
1761 Sower's (German) newspaper in Philadelphia and Germantown reported, on February 13 [28]:
Land of the Pennsylvania Land company is advertised for sale, and names of occupants are given as follows: ... Lampeter and Manheim Townships, Lancaster County, 2500 acres - John Krick, David Crawford, Andreas Bersinger, James Patterson, Johann Rohrer, Christian Stoever, Widow McFilly, Joost Moser, Rudischall and others.

1763 John Witmer, yeoman of Lampeter Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and Fronica his wife, sold land to Johannes Rorrer of Lampeter Twp, on October 8. The land had been granted to John Whitmore by James Hamilton, Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania, on 1 July 1763. The original tract land was 595 acres on Conestoga Creek in Lampeter Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania adjacent to land of William Seawright with mining rights. John Rorrer bought 200 acres of this tract adjacent to land of Christian Stauffer, and William Seawright. [30] [31]

[43] [44] [45]
1772 The will of John Rohrer was dated on May 18, 1772 and was proved on June 17, 1772 in Lampeter Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The will named wife Elizabeth and children John, Isaac, and Christian. Executors were Jacob Hartman and John Witmer. An excerpt indicates that his wife Elizabeth was granted a room in their house and was guaranteed resources for her needs. The land was divided between sons Isaac and Christian, who paid the other children annually until the value of the land was paid. Isaac received the part of the land with the house on it. A new house was built on the other part for Christian. [46] [47] [48] [49] [50]
The 18th day of May 1772, I, John Rohrer of Lampeter Township in the County of Lancaster being weak of body but of sound memory and understanding and am therefore willing to make my last will and testament in manner following: - First it is my will that all my just debts in the first place shall be paid out of my estate. Item I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Elizabeth for her dwelling place and widowhood the new house and cellar and the thereto adjoining garden as her own property to live in and use it as her own and besides this my two sons Isaac and Christian shall give and deliver unto her yearly as follows viz: - [51]
1773 The executors Jacob Hartman and John Witmer appointed four men to view and value the lands given by John Rohrer, deceased of Lampeter Twp, to his sons Isaac and Christian.
1773 The estate settlement of John Rohrer, late of Lampeter twp, was recorded in a deed. A committee, appointed by executors Jacob Hartman and John Witmer, and two sons: Isaac Rohrer and Christian Rohrer. On April 22, the land was valued and Isaac and Christian were each to pay 40 pounds yearly to their brothers and sisters (not named), to be divided among them. Dated April 22. [52]
1773 Several sons were named on the tax list. John (125 acres), Christian Sr (100 acres), Christian (125 acres), Jacob (150 acres), Jacob Jr (145 acres), and Isaac (100 acres) Rohrea; perhaps sons John, Christian, Jacob Jr, and Isaac and brothers Jacob and Christian Sr; were taxed in Lampeter Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [53] [54]

1782 Several descendants were named on the tax list. John (141 acres), Christian Jr (100 acres), Christian Sr (127 acres), Jacob (150 acres), and Isaac (100 acres) Rohrer [Rora]; perhaps sons John, Christian, Jacob, and Isaac and grand-son Christian; were taxed in Lampeter Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [65]
1788 The will of Elizabeth Rohrer, of Lampeter Twp, Lancaster County, was written in German. On May 24, Jacob Hartman and Jacob Stouffer affirmed that they had witnessed Elizabeth Rohrer sign and seal the will. Letters of administration were granted to John Stouffer on May 24, 1788. She named children Isaac, Christian, Henry, David, Magdalena, and John. [66] [67] [68] [69]
1790 Christian Rorer lived in Lampeter Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in a household with 4 males under age 16, 2 males age 16 and over, and 3 females. [70] Christ Rohrer (3 males over age 16) lived in Lampeter Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania was listed on the same census page. Jacob Rorrer, John Rorrer, and John Rorrer Jr were listed on another page.
1790 John Rorrer of Lampeter Twp, Lancaster County, had one slave. Perhaps this was son John, named in the will of Elizabeth, although there is some evidence that he had moved to Virginia by this time. [71]
1800 Christian Rohrer Sr, Jacob Rohrer, and (grandson?) Christian Rohrer Jr lived in Lampeter Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Nearby were John Forrey, John Forrey Jr, Martin Forrer, and Jacob Stoner. Jacob Rohrer Sr and Christian Rohrer had adjacent listings on another page. [72]
Research Notes:
We are following David Rohrer, who died in 1830 in East Hempfield Twp. David Rohrer was reportedly named as a son in the 1788 will of Elizabeth Rohrer, according to an abstract of that will. [74] We seek a copy and translation of this will. Weiss and Getz [75] indicate that this will can be found in Lancaster County Orphans Court records [we have not found it there]. David was not named as an heir in the division of the estate of Johannes Rohrer in 1776. David was named as a son of emigrant John (1700-1772) in a biosketch of David's son Joseph. [76] We have seen no direct evidence that Johannes Rohrer was married to Elizabeth Snavely and seek documentation to clarify this hypothesis.
Samuel Wenger gives a list of descendants. [77]
Some researchers have suggested that Johannes Rohrer was a son of Heinrich Rohrer (1690-1738), of Hamm, Germany. [78] See Richard Warren Davis [79], who also lists a possible uncle Johannes [80], who emigrated on the ship Mortonhouse.
Notes for the heirs of John Rohrer [81], who died in 1771 in Lampeter Twp with spouse Mary, show that his son John remained in Lampeter Twp after 1788, when we suspect that John, son of Johannes Rohrer and Elizabeth Snavely, moved to Virginia.
1774 Heirs of John Rohrer of Lampeter Twp were named as John, Anna, Christian, Elizabeth, John, Mary, Martin, and Susannah. [82]
1775 The heirs of John Rohrer, of Lampeter were parties to a deed involving the estate of John Rohrer, late of Lampeter Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. John had died leaving 8 children: John, Jacob, Christian, Martin, Ana the wife of Jacob Houser, Elizabeth the wife of Francis Smith, Mary the wife of John Bachman, and Susanna the wife and ward of Peter Miller. Jacob Rohrer of Lampeter Twp; Christian Rohrer of Lampeter Twp; Martin Rohrer of Frederick County, Maryland; Jacob Houser and wife Anna of Lampeter Twp, Francis Smith and wife Elizabeth of Lampeter; John Bachman and wife Mary, of Conestogoe; and Peter Miller, guardian of wife Susanna (a minor daughter) of Martick Twp; received payment from John Rohrer, another son, for their share of the estate their mother and father, the said John Rohrer and Mary his late wife deceased. [83] See also: [84]
1789 The same heirs, in the same places were parties to another deed. Dated March 3, 1789. [85] This after the date of the wagon train to Virginia in 1788.
Some researchers suggest that this Johannes was a son of Hans Michael Rohrer and Catharina Schwägler [86]. We suspect that Johannes was, instead, a son of Heinrich [87]. Norwood F. Shank discusses both ancestries. [88]
Several researchers have reported extensive (undocumented) ancestral trees for Johannes Rohrer, as a son of Hans Michael Rohrer and Katherine Schwägler.
Weiss and Getz [89] have notes for Johannes Rohrer, married to Elizabeth Snavely. These authors concluded (incorrectly) that Johannes was the same person as Johannes who immigrated in 1728, as did Albert Lawrence [90].
During the time of the persecution of the Huguenots in the reign of Louis XIV, France made several conquests in Holland. The little republic was torn by strife and aggression until the French revolution. In the early part of the 18th Century, legend tells us, a family by the name of Snavely, also seeking peace and religious freedom, immigrated from Holland and settled in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. One of this family was named Elizabeth. Johanne Rohrer met Elizabeth Snavely and married her about the year 1735. To this union was born seven sons and one daughter: John, Christian, Jacob, Isaac, Henry, Abraham, David, and Magdalena. They were all born on a farm in Lampeter township, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. In 1763, they bought a 200 acre plantation in Lancaster county. Elizabeth died in 1787. Her place of burial is unknown.
Notes for John Rohrer and Elizabeth Snavely are recorded in Mennonite Vital Records. [91]
There is an immigration record for another Johannes Rohrer:
1728 Johannes Roar immigrated on the ship "Mortonhouse" in 1728. [92] [93]
