Hi Dave:
If you go to the Washington County Free Library, and go to the Western Maryland Room, you will find a big folder about the Rohrer line you are seeking. I come from the same Rohrer line as you, and your assumptions are correct about John M. Rohrer, and John M. Rohrer,Jr.
The wife of Jacob A. Rohrer is Emma Ruth Smith, she appears to be the daughter of Andrew J. Smith and his wife Francis V. Potter. In Andrew's Civil War Record, his lists a daughter Emma R. born 2 February 1862, which would fit your Emma Ruth. This Andrew J. Smith was a son of James Smith and his wife Sophia Long, and that is as far as I have been able to trace the Smith and Long lines.
