He was the son of Hans Christoffer von Rohr (1626–1700) who was killed in action during the Battle of Narva; and Anna Catharina Cronman.[2][4] Anna was the daughter of Hans Detterman Cronman. Joachim married Catharina Charlotta Klingenberg (1680–1758) on February 4, 1699 (old style) in Sweden. Together they had the following children:

  • Anna Elisabeth von Rohr (1700–1744) who married Anders Örbom (1675–1740) who was a Captain in the Swedish Army. Örbom was born in Örebro, Sweden on May 9, 1675. His father was a man named Brask, who was a District Court Judge in Örebro. Anders joined the military in 1691 and he took part in the campaign at Humlebæk on Zealand, a Danish island where Copenhagen is located, in 1700. On July 7, 1701 he left camp and on July 9, 1701 he crossed the Düna River in Riga in Ukraine. There they conquered the Saxony troops and took about 700 prisoners.
