He has an Anna Catharina Cronman II (c1660–1661) who died young, and Anna Catharina Cronman III as the wife of Hans Christoffer von Rohr I (1626–1700). This makes her the daughter of Joachim Cronman, which puts her at the proper age for bearing the children of von Rohr. Hans would be about 30 years older than her.
