I have good reason to suspect he is the son of Vernor/Wernor MOHN (b. 1727 in Langenselbold, Germany), who came to Berks County with parents Johannas and Anna (HACK) MOHN (Johannas b. 1700 in Langenselbold) and siblings Marica Maria (b. 1723), Magdalena (b. 1725), and Lutwick (b. 1729). They arrived in Philadelphia on the ship "Elizabeth" in 1733. Vernor married Catherine Crowl (also from Langenselbold) and they had at least 4 children; Eve, Georg, Jacob, and Abraham. In about 1767, Vernor moved his family south through Adams/York Counties, Pa., into Frederick Co., Md., and finally to Loudoun Co., Va. This is where the family seems to split, Abraham and Jacob going to Garrett Co., W.Va. and Georg and wife Ruth Anna MARTIN going to Butler Co., Pa. They later ended up in Mercer Co., Pa. in about 1830, near Grove City. There seems to be very little info on any of Johannas' children except Lutwick (Ludwig). I would like to find info on Vernor and birth records on Georg and his siblings and if there is any connection to the Schwartzwald Church in Berks / Schuylkill County.
