Jacob/John Herny Lohr (1810-1892) Germany> IL> IA
Jacob/John LOHR/LOEHR (1810-1892) was born in Germany - the Alsac Lorraine area and immigrated to IL in abt 1815. Family story is that he was French and his name was LEVAIRRE but took the town names as his surname. His wife was Anna Marie GETTLEMAN (1822-1897). She also immigrated from Germay with her parents. They had eleven children: George, Lewis, Mary, Andrew, John, Kate, Henry (my ggfather), Elizabeth, Philip, Lydia and Elsie. I have dates and other information on most of the children. Anything sound familiar?
