Biography
Matthias Groh, son of Hans Groh, obtained warrant for 200 acres of land on the Little Swatara Creek in Lancaster County (now Lebanon County) in 1752. Matthias died in 1771 and his brother-in-law, Peter Grove (Groff), was named executor. He named his wife, Anna, but did not name his twelve children. They are all identified in a deed dated 1788, by which time Anna had died.
