A son of Frederick Rohrer and Catharina Deemar; husband of Catharina Truby Rohrer Marshall; father of Elizabeth Rohrer Robinson and Frederick Augustus Rohrer.
This cemetery is the likely site of his burial; in fact, his may have been one of the first graves here because the land occupied by the German Burying Ground bounded his own land and that of his father-in-law, Col. Christopher Truby. Truby donated part of the land for the German Cemetery shortly after Rohrer's death. Rohrer's name, however, does not appear in any of the listings made from transcriptions decades later. His grave may have never been marked or was no longer marked when the transcriptions were made.

"1799 - 1949 German Cemetery, Greensburg
The German burial ground was located on the west side of South Main Street, just south of the West Penn Terminal Station. On the eleventh day of August, 1792, the two German congregations, the Lutherans and Calvinists (or Reformed), met together and elected 12 men as trustees, Christopher Truby...[rest of the list omitted]...to purchase ground for a church, or house of public worship, and for a school house and a grave yard, or burial ground, and to build those houses thereon for the use and benefit of the said congregations and their successors forever. The Trustees, however, had no need to purchase from Christopher Truby the lower portion of this cemetery, for Colonel Truby and his wife gave them 2 Acres 67 perches for burial purposes on February 28, 1795. This fronted on the road and was bounded on the west by Peter Miller's patent line and on the north by lot of Frederick Rohrer, Jr."
The book 'Greensburg Sesquicentennial History, 1799-1949' was written by a committee headed by George Berry: "Because of the lapse of time, it is impossible to give a complete list of burials of this historic graveyard although extensive efforts have been made to assemble data."
