    One of the questions regarding John Storm is whether he could be Johannes Sturm, the last child of Christian Sturm of Klein Schifferstadt, Germany. Johannes Sturm is reported in Kinfolk in Germany, Kinfolk in Maryland by Arta Johnson to have been born 26 Jan 1723 The records of Conewago Chapel, McSherrystown, Adams Co, PA lists Joannes Storm, aged 83, as dying 1 Jan 1805, making his birthyear 1722 (or 1723 if they forgot he had not had his birthday yet). Records referenced in the John Timon Reily Historical Data list John Storm's birth date as 21 Jan 1723 while another gives the birth year as 1721. The dates are close, particularly considering the confusion over the change to the Gregorian calendar . Since the German states had already adopted the calendar at the time of John Storm's birth, but the British and their colonies had not, a date of 26 Jan 1723 would actually correspond to 15 Jan 1722 in America. This still results in a mismatch of a year and several days for the reported age of John Storm.
    Unlike his siblings, Johannes Sturm of Christian Sturm is not listed with a secular name (the middle name which was actually used to identify the individual), making use of John a plausibility. The lack of names common between the Sturms of Schifferstadt and John Storm's children could be an indication against the link or it could indicate John Storm's dissatisfaction with the family's abandonment of Catholicism.
    There is no clear record of John Storm's arrival in America. Ship records list a couple of Johannes Storms: the William and Sarah (William Hill, Master from Rotterdam to Philadelphia) 18th Sept. 1727 lists Johannes Storm's boy as traveling by himself; then there are the Isaac 27 Sep 1749 from Rotterdam, the Lydia 19 Aug 1749. Oaths of Allegiance list the Isaac's Johannes Storm as age 26, which would be about right. Also, the 1749 Philadelphia census entry for Johannes Sturm possibly fits.
    For the two to be the same person would require Johannes Sturm to have remained or become a Catholic while the remainder of the family was Calvinist, Lutheran or similar.
