Religious persecution and political pressures drove thousands of Europeans during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to the shores of the new land of America. The RAU immigrants came from the Palatinate of Bavaria in Germany. These RAUs with their wives, or families, or singly, came to the colony of America fleeing the religious wars and persecution of Protestants by Catholics.


In the CHURCH RECORDS (Row's, or Salem Lutheran & Reformed Church, or Rauen Kirchen) it was recorded that there is no written evidence to the details of the first old log church. A Reverend J. W. WAMPOLE furnished a bit of information in a booklet which he compiled on the church. But his booklet was not included in the Church Records History, unfortunately. There was mentioned "an interesting booklet showing a church settlement 3 JUN 1805. This booklet was in use until 1813." Other entries aside from offerings are made in this booklet. It was called "Das Opfer Buchlein in der Lutherischen und Reformitan Gemienten, in das Rauen Kircha." The first entry in this booklet was in the following language: "June the 3, 1805, Johannes RAU and Johannes MAURER had a church settlement with the church council; and paid 8s and 4p to George MILLER and Johannes FILMAN;---" Sermons were preached in German from the church pulpit until about 1898.

The present church which stands on the land given by George RAU (ROW-ROWE) is the third one built there since George's time during the Revolutionary War period. It is referred to in all the local history as "Rau's Lutheran and Reformed Church", "Row's Salem Lutheran & Reformed Church". "Rauen Kircha", and "Row's Church at Salem. PA." Today there is a stained glass window over the front door which reads: "Salem Lutheran and Reformed Church." There are stained glass memorial windows in the sanctuary to various ROWE ancestral members.

On the north of the Salem Church property the ROWs early acquired title to considerable tracts of land. From Records of Rau's Church, Salem Lutheran & Reformed, New Salem Pennsylvania, (which book is in the custody of Mr. Eugene KEEFER, church historian, and loaned to Gelda Rowe IMBODY and daughter Elizabeth Imbody ADAMS on 11 AUG 1967) the following:
"date of warrant from Warrant Book dated 1775-6
page 92 remaining in the Land Office of Pennsyl-
vania specifies that a tract of land, date of
