Kelly, have you seen this? It mentions a grandson, John born in 1808. Another Lorah who is my guru thinks that my (and your?) Henry might be of George and Maria Lorah decent. Possibly, this first George could have sired George (see below)AND Henry who was born between 1770-1780. This Henry had David and possibly your John--the mentioned grandson. It's something to look into, don't you think?
http://www.lorah.com/genfiles/lorah/grpsheets/notes.htmThe earliest Lorah known to have lived in this part of the country was John Lowr, who came from France with a group of 231 Palatines on the ship Townshead, which docked at Philadelphia on October 5, 1737. John Lowra settled in the Oley Valley of Berks County. The present writer knows nothing more about him. He had a son George Lorah, b. 3/15/1743, d 10/06/1822, who is buried in the Reamstown Cemetery, (Row 9). George was a Revolutionary war soldier who served in Daniel Reiff's Company of East Oley Berks County, 1777. Just who George's wife was or where she is buried we do not know. She may easily hae been buried with him, but we have no record or no stone to give us any proof of the statement. We know from the Baptism record of his grandson John in 1808, that George and Maria Lorah stood as sponsor. Thus we conclude that Maria was his wife's name.
