Descendants of Adam Roehm

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

1.  ADAM¹ ROEHM was born February 09, 1800 in Hesse Homberg, Germany, and died Bet. October 1859 - 1880 in Pennsylvania.  He married (1) ELIZABETH ROEHM before 1832 in Germany.  She was born Abt. 1805 in Germany, and died Aft. 1850.  He married (2) SOPHIE KLOVIS Aft. 1850.    He married (3) CATHARINE Abt. 1870. 

 

Notes for ADAM ROEHM:

My Roehm's were possibly (Von) Röhm in Germany.  Adam was a subject of the Duke of Hesse Homberg in Germany according to his naturalization papers. The Duke’s province was located approximately 10 miles north of Frankfurt am Main; and Meisenheim on the left bank of the Rhine.  He departed Germany from the port of Bremen and arrived in the port at Baltimore, Maryland the 1st of May 1831, then removed to Philadelphia, PA in 1837.  On Oct 10, 1837 Adam declared his intent to change his Country of allegiance from Germany to the United States of America in the Court of Common Pleas. On Sep 19, 1840 Adam Roehm made his Oath of Allegiance at Court of Common Pleas to the US.  He was a piano maker.  His sons by his first wife Elizabeth were Adam b: about 1832 in Germany, Charles b: Feb. 1836 in Maryland, Joseph b: about 1839 Philadelphia, and Gilbert b: 1844 Philadelphia. Adam’s wife Elizabeth died and he remarried between June 1850 and 1854.  His second wife's name is believed to be Sophie Klovis.  Children of Adam's second marriage were William b: Oct. 1855, Jacob b: Sept. 1857 and possibly John.  There was also a daughter Elizabeth born about 1856.   Some of the brothers started a tailor shop called Roehm Brother's Trinkets and Trim and his son and or grandson Charles stared a box factory.  By the late 1880s most of the family moved to Camden, NJ, but still owned the tailor shop in Philadelphia. By 1900 it looks like the brothers were mostly retired and a younger generation of the family was operating the tailor shop and most of the family was living either in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, or around Norris Town and Abington Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
