Michael Mohr was born in 1772, and he was baptized on 24 May 1772, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. He was married in 1796 to Jane Lewis, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, by Elias Wickoff, J.P.
He lived during the time (1816) of the "year without a summer" due to the cold summer weather caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora volcano the previous year. "On June 25, 1816, The Franklin Repository in Pennsylvania reported that snow blanketed the area. Around the same time, The Evening Post in New York described freezing temperatures and nearly a foot of snow. Farm animals in Vermont succumbed to the freezing temperatures as long-time residents said they’d never seen anything like it!" "As fall approached, the Hartford Courant noted that 1816 would go down in history because there had been frost every month of the year. European papers complained that constant rains had ruined crops and created a famine."
He passed away 01 June 1840, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania.
