Roger, A few things are slightly off--aren't they always? But the family below, taken from the 1850 census of Wash Co, might be worth investigating as matching yours. The "Amanda S." in both cases is quite interesting. District 1, Washington, Maryland Page: 226 Roll: M432_298 Jacob ROHRER, 47, M, farmer Elizabeth ---, 43, F Mary ---, 20, F Henry ---, 16, M Amanda S. ---, 12, F Elizabeth ---, 10, F Jacob M. ---, 5, M These are not my Rohrers. But from other information, I believe this bunch to have lived in the Keedysville area.
