A primary method I am using in my research of the early Brethren Churches of Kentucky, is to follow the Brethren families, as they go to Kentucky, and as members of the family leave Kentucky in the moves west. I have collected the following data on these families. I would appreciate your review of this information, and any proven corrections you can provide. Than you Merle C Rummel ********************************* ROHRER Family RR-1 Jacob ROHRER............m. c1780................Elizabeth BRUNER b. c1753 Rohrersville MD....................b. 24 Dec 1753, Cocalico PA d. 1825 Jessamine Co KY......................d. 25 Sep 1842, Jessamine Co KY bur: ?Little Cemetery...........................bur: ?Little Cemetery f.
