Sorry, I don't have your Hamilton and offspring.I found that my Henry Rohrer who married Elizabeth Fultz d 1837 in Shenandoah Co., VA.He and Elizabeth had no children.Henry was the son of Johann Jacob Rohrer who d between 1771-1773 in Shenandoah Co., VA and his wife Ursula.Jacob and Ursula had other children in addition to Henry (all born before 1771): Jacob Jr. b abt 1761 m Catharine maiden name unknown, lived in Maryland; Daniel b abt 1762 (no further information); Anna (nor futher information); and Elizabeth (no further information). All the children were mentioned by name in Jacob's will written 29 April 1771 and proved 27 April 1773. Evidently they migrated from Pennsylvania through Maryland to Virginia.Jacob was associated with a Sabbatarian group in Shenandoah Co., VA, and he had ties with the Ephrata Cloister in PA.
