Rev. Martin Groh was my Great -great grandfather, born 1814 in Bavaria Germany, Married a woman named Maria from Alsace-Lorraine, don't know her maiden name. One of their children was my great grandmother, Matilda Groh, whom my mother Rosemary Miley and Aunt Virginia Miley remember details about. I saw an obit in the NY Times in which a sister of Matilda is mentioned (the husband-John Lechtrecker is the subject of the obit.), which states Abbie Groh is the daughter of Martin Groh, a Lutheran priest and the niece of Bishop Laurence Groh. I can't find anything about this Lutheran Bishop. however, per the census info, there is a Laurence Groh, a farmer, born 1815 in Germany. Does anyone know if this farmer was possibly a Bishop- doesn't sound likely to me either. Any advice? Thanks,
Laura
