Mohr Samuel

Mohr Andrew and Samuel,  (Lat. Morus,) father and son, were cryptically called Melandri, but appear not to have been included in Moller's "Homonymoscopia," printed at Hamburgh in 1697.

Andrew was Pastor of Drechtow, in the Marquisate of Brandenburg, and a Crypto-Socinian.

Samuel is mentioned among the alumni of Racow in 1631, at which time he held the office of Assistant Teacher in the School of that town. From the year 1634, he acted as Second Master in the same institution. He likewise officiated in some capacity at Lublin, probably in that of Catechist, for he does not appear to have received ministerial ordination. On the expulsion of the Socinians from Racow in 1638, he went into Transylvania. This we learn from a letter of Ruarus, addressed to the Senate of Clausenburg in the name of the Polish Brethren, and written June 4^th, 1638, from which it appears, that Samuel Mohr was half-brother of Laurence and Peter Stegmann. He is supposed to be the person alluded to, under the designation of " Melander, Doctor Medicinae," in the Acts of the Synod of Zulienien, A. D. 1644.
