The Von Rohrs are Swedish House of Nobility family number 807. The Swedish line begins with Hans von Rohr (1484-1569), Lord of Freyenstien, Meyenburg Castle, Neuhausen Castle, Demnitz and Leddin in Brandenburg, Germany. He was born January 1, 1484. He married 7 August 1545 to Lovisa Eleonora von Arnim (1494-1565) (born 7 December 1494, died 3 February 1565, daughter of colonel Joakim von Arnim). Hans died 7 September 1569,.

Hans von Rohr (1484-1569) is listed as having a son, Georg von Rohr (1550-1632), born 8 May 1550, died 30 November 1632 at Svida, Finland, married 1stly 1585 Ludovica Eleonora Chemnitz (1565-1619) (born 1565, died 1619); married 2ndly 1621 Margareta von Fleeten (1600-1655) (born 9 March 1600 at Narva, died 15 December 1655, daughter of colonel Hans von Fleeten). There must be a discrepancy in the sources here as Lovisa would have been past child-bearing age at the time of the birth of Georg and Hans would have been 66 years old. There is most likely an intervening generation with people of the same name that have been conflated.
