documentation is a record of clergymen at the state church in Birstein,
Germany. It was provided by the Hessische Staatsarchiv in Darmstadt,
Germany. The document indicates that Johann Theobald von Löhr was a
clergyman of the state church in Hessen-Kassel from 1615-1624. The
previous reference of the von Lähr family of Switzerland also mentioned
Johann Theobald--great-grandson of Hans Voller the hero of Grandson--who
was a pastor of Kurzdorf and Neftenbach in 1610.
The Birstein documentation also lists children of Johann Theobald and Ursula von Löhr--including Johann Georg von Löhr who immigrated to the Penn Colony in1698.
