I have some concerns about Johann Jacob BOHN b.1726 Rehbach being the same one as the Johann Jacob BOHN that moved to NC in 1757.
I have not yet had a chance to research the church records of Rehbach, but a German who has researched the family wrote me this:
"Johann Jacob Bohn born Rehbach 1726 died there on 15 Mar 1770 and all his children were born in Rehbach"
I am going to try and verify this information for you sometime this summer.I have been using microfilms of the various church documents from the LDS church.They have them for most of the villages in the area, but I don't see them for Rehbach.I will have to make a trip to the actual church regional archives.
The German that I've been working with is a very reliable researcher and I'm confident the information he is sending me is valid, but I will confirm it for you.
BOTTOM LINE:I am very confident that your Johann Jacob BOHN is not the Johann Jacob BOHN that was born 1726 in Rehbach.
Wish I had better news for you on that.I'm continuing to research other records.If I come across one that might be your Johann Jacob BOHN, then I'll let you know.Although BOHN is not a real common name, there are still a fair number of Johann Jacob BOHNs.
