My  collection  of  material  for  a  Rau-Row-Rowe  Family 
History  was  started  in  1969. 

Since  genealogy  is  fast  becoming  the  No.  1  hobby  in 
this  country,  I  have  put  together  some  of  what  I  have 
found,  hoping  that  it  may  help  you  find  your  place  on 
the  Rowe  Tree, 

Much  needs  to  be  clarified,  expanded  and/or  corrected. 
If  the  Lord  gives  me  the  time,  I  would  like  to  write 
more  and  better  volumes  on  Rowes  with  German  ancestry. 
Our  German  Rowe  ancestors  pronouced  their  last  name 
to  rhyme  with  "cow,  how  or  now".   The  English  added 
the  "e"  to  Row  for  us.   English  Rowes  pronounced  their 
name,  to  rhyme  with  "foe,  hoe,  toe". 

If  you  have  a  German  "Rowe"  line,  or  think  you  may 
have,  I  would  greatly  appreciate  exchanging  information 
with  you.

CHARLES  E.  ROWE,  my  father,  who  brought  me  up  in  a  Christian  home  and 
taught  me  the  old  fashioned  virtues  of  honesty,  responsibility  and 
fidelity  -  the  cement  that  holds  a  family  together.   My  father  was  the 
starting  point  for  my  quest  for  Rowe  information.   He  told  me  he  didn't 
know  exactly  where  in  Ohio  his  grandfather  came  from  -  only  that  it  was 
in  eastern  Ohio  and  hilly,  and  that  he  had  spent  a  number  of  years  in 
Monroeville,  Ind.  before  moving  to  Hudson,  Ind.   My  father  also  knew 
that  his  father  had  a  first  cousin  Neal  Rowe  that  lived  in  Garrett,  Ind., 
and  that  the  Rowes  in  Fairfield  Twp.,  DeKalb  Co.,  Ind.  were  some  relation. 
He  also  recalled  his  family  visiting  some  relatives  on  the  Rowe  side  near 
Fairfield  Center  and  that  his  father  once  stopped  to  see  a  relative 
around  Corunna. 

THELMER  ROWE,  who  resided  north  of  Helmer,  Ind.,  was  my  next  contact. 
I  had  supposed  we  were  an  English  line  since  Rowe  is  an  English  nanie. 
He  told  me  that  our  line  is  definitely  German  and  that  the  "e"  had  been 
added  to  "Row"  only  in  recent  years. 

ORA  ROWE,  the  best  known  Rowe  in  Fairfield  Twp.,  having  served  as  Trustee 
for  a  number  of  years.   He  said  he  was  the  grandson  of  Frederick  Row  of 
Garrett,  Ind.,  and  that  Neal  (Cornelius)  Row  and  his  father  George  Row 
were  brothers.   He  also  said  that  he  knew  my  father's  grandfather  John 
(Adam)  Row  well,  and  that  he  was  a  brother  to  his  grandfather  Frederick 
Row  of  Garrett.   He  told  of  a  number  of  people  in  the  community  that 
attended  the  Rowe  Reunions  that  were  held  .many  years  ago.   For  the  most 
part,  he  didn't  know  exactly  "how"  they  were  related.   Ora  Rowe  was  past 
90  years  old  at  the  time  we  visited  him,  and  his  mind  was  very  sharp. 

MAE  MORRISON,  a  delightful  woman  past  80  years  old  when  mother  and  I 
visited  her  in  her  nice  home  at  Camden,  Mich.   She  was  raised  in  Fair- 
field and  her  recollections  were  invaluable.   She  had  us  stay  for  supper 
and  served  fresh  fish  she  had  caught  and  a  delicious  home-baked  pie. 

BARBARA  KEPLER  THOMAS  (Mrs.  Stanley  Thomas,  of  Canton,  Ohio,  is  the 
person  who  found  our  family  in  Ohio  and  got  us  together.   She  saw  my 
ad  in  the  Tri  State  Trader  and  wrote  that  there  are  lots  of  Rowes  in 
Holmes  Co. ,  Ohio,  where  she  use  to  visit  her  grandparents  when  she  was 
a  child,  and  would  do  some  checking  there  if  I  wanted  her  to.   I  couldn't 
have  had  a  luckier  break  nor  found  a  better  friend.   She  proceeded  to 
check  records  in  the  Holmes  Co.  Court  House,  met  Robert  Rowe  a  deputy 
sheriff  (Barbara's  husband  is  a  deputy  sheriff  in  Stark  Co.),  who  told 
her  that  his  father  George  Rowe  was  living  right  there  in  Millersburg 
and  had  an  old  Row  Bible  and  other  records,  and  took  Barbara  to  meet  him. 

GEORGE  ROWE  of  Millersburg,  Ohio,  is  a  building  and. bridge  contractor, 
and  many  buildings  and  bridges  in  the  area  and  as  far  away  as  Florida, 
were  built  by  him.  His  Row  Family  Bible  had  been  kept  by  his  grandfather, 
Elijah  Row,  and  most  fortunately,  Elijah  had  named  the  relationship  to 
himself  of  each  person  entered.  These  included:  Brother  -  Frederick 
Row  (of  Garrett,  Ind.),  Brother  -  Adam  Row  (my  father's  grandfather)! 
Elijah  had  even  entered  his  mother  Magdalena  and  father  George  S.  Row. 


MRS.  NICHOLAS  MASSARELLI  (Violet),  a  new  found  friend  through  genealogy. 
She  lives  in  New  Philadelphia,  Ohio,  and  copied  Tuscarawas  Co.  records. 

ELIZABETH  IMBODY  ADAMS  (Mrs.  Robert  L.  Adams),  of  Indianapolis,  Ind., 
now  of  Santa  Monica,  California,  for  sharing  the  fruits  of  her  Rau- 
Row-Rowe  research.   I  would  like  to  "second"  her  acknowledgment  to 
Ruth  Row  Clutcher,  which  follows:   To 

RUTH  ROW  CLUTCHER  who  sparked  the  family  reunions  and  did  the 
initial  work  on  showing  how  all  the  Rau  Row-Rowe  kinfolks  in  Juniata 
Valley  are  related  as  the  descendants  of  George  Rau-Row-Rowe  of 
Northumberland  County,  Penn  Township,  Pennsylvania,  the  Patriarch  of 
the  "clan". 

PEGGY  ITELSON  ROW,  widow  of  Allen  Row,  now  Mrs.  Russell  Mills,  con- 
tacted most  of  the  descendants  of  David  Rowe  and  compiled  their 
family  information. 

BERNIECE  RINGLER  ROWE,  my  mother,  who  would  rather  sit  at  her  easel 
painting,  but  accompanied  me  on  many  cemetery,  church,  library  and 
court  house  excursions  and  copied  records,  and  is  better  at  it  than 
I  am! 

RICHARD  ARTHUR  TOITE,  my  husband,  who  has  taken  a  week  of  his  vacation 
for  the  past  several  years,  visiting  court  houses,  lugging  the  big 
books  back  and  forth  for  me,  climbing  ladders  to  get  the  oldest  files 
which  were  on  the  highest  shelf,  and  after  the  court  house  closes, 
visiting  cemeteries,  and  after  dark  holding  the  flashlight  so  I  could 
continue  copying  inscriptions. 

I  would  like  to  mention  also  my  Aunt  Dorothy  (Mrs.  Henry  Kressley) , 
who  did  some  interviewing  for  me,  Estelle  Getts,  Mrs.  Clair  Tuttle, 
and  Rodney  Mills  who  went  to  a  little  extra  trouble  to  send  records. 

REWARDS  IN  GENEALOGY 

Anyone  that  gets  interested  in  this  hobby  is  never  bored.   There  are 
always  places  you  are  anxious  to  visit  and  people  you  are  eager  to  meet. 
It  seems  the  finest  people  in  all  stratums  of  society  gravitate  to  this 
hobby.   This  is  particularly  apparent  in  Palm  Beach  County,  Florida, 
but  I've  noticed  this  elsewhere,  too. 

It  is  exciting  and  gratifying  to  find  cousins  and  meet  them.   Every 
now  and  then  you  meet  someone,  though  not  related,  goes  out  of  their  way 
to  help  you.   I  was  twice  blest  when  Barbara  Thomas  answered  my  query. 
She  has  a  sharp  mind  and  is  a  bom  detective.   She  drove  many  miles  on 
narrow  unpaved  country  roads,  climbed  fences,  pushed  through  weeds  and 
underbrush,  looking  for  where  our  Rows  are  buried;  wrestled  volumes  in 
the  court  house,  visited  and  telephoned  Rows  and  then  had  me  come  to 
visit  her,  with  an  itinerary  planned!   The  high  point  was  visiting 
cousin  George  Rowe  and  family  in  Millersburg.   Barbara  is  an  in- 
hospital  worker  for  the  Stark  County  Ohio  Welfare  Dept.,  but  recently 
managed,  with  Mrs.  Evelyn  Jessup,  to  copy  all  the  Holmes  Co.,  Ohio 
cemeteries  for  the  Ohio  Genealogical  Society.

HISTORY  OF  THE  RAU  ROW  ROWE  FAMILY  IN  PENNSYLVANIA 

In  Gemsbach,  thirteen  kilometers  from  Baden-Baden,  (West  Germany  today) 
there  are  Bible  records  in  existence  that  reveal  the  presence  of  the  Rau 
family  as  far  back  as  1579.   In  the  Evangelical  Parish  of  the  Gemsbach 
Mission  the  church  records  are  available  for  perusal.   Some  of  the  members 
of  the  family  were  still  there  in  1794,  and  later.   The  birth  record  of 
one  George  Friederich  Rau,  bom  July  12,  1798,  is  there,  and  his  parents 
were  Phillip  Jacob  Rau  and  Helena  Salome  Hermann  Rau.   Other  church  records 
give  the  parishoners  Ludwig  Rau  and  wife  Elisabeth  Blichenmacher,  also 
John  Henry  Rau  and  Rosina  Christina,  wife,  nee  Jacobin. 1 

The  church  Bible  records  in  Baden-Baden  go  back  only  till  1870,  although 
today  there  are  many  Raus  in  the  area."-  There  is  even  a  fountain  monument 
in  the  square  to  some  early  Rau!    Not  all  the  Rau  members  came  to  America. 
But  - 

Religious  persecution  and  political  pressures  drove  thousands  of  Europeans 
during  the  16th  and  17th  centuries  to  the  shores  of  the  new  land  of  America. 
Rau  immigrants  from  the  Palatinate  of  Bavaria  in  Germany  came  with  their 
wives,  families,  or  singly  to  the  American  colony  fleeing  religious  wars 
and  persecution  of  Protestants  by  the  Catholics. 


George  Rau-Row-Rowe  was  born  in  1723,  probably  in  Baden-Baden,  Germany. 
My  ancestor  arrived  in  Philadelphia  on  the  ship  "Phoenix"  from  Rotterdam 
on  October  1,  1754.   Captain  John  Spurrier  was  in  charge  of  the  554  pas- 
sengers: "inhabitants  from  Francona,  the  Palatinate  and  Zweibrucken, 
seventeen  Roman  Catholics,  twenty-five  Mennonites"  included.    Baden  prov- 
ince was  part  of  the  Palatinate  of  the  Rhine  during  the  period  of  the 
large  Palatine  emigration  to  America.   Refer  to  The  Story  of  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Germans  by  William  Beidelman  and  I.  D.  Rupp's  Thirty  Thousand 
Names  of  Immigrants. 

George  Rau-Row-Rowe  took  the  oath  of  allegiance  in  Philadelphia,  then  he 
and  his  wife  Mary  Magdalene  and  the  two  small  sons  John  and  George,  Jr., 
proceeded  to  Northumberland  County,  in  the  Susquehanna  Valley  of  Pennsyl- 
vania. 

He  laid  claim  to  tracts  of  land,  100  acres  applied  for  Qn  August  6,  1766, 
and  surveys  made  May  27,  1767,  land  known  as  Row's  Land.   On  June  12, 
1772,  George  had  50  acres  in  Penn's  Township  surveyed.    One  of  the  orig- 
inal land  grants  to  Row's  Land  was  surveyed  and  signed  by  the  first 
Governor  after  Pennsylvania  became  a  state  (1787).   Ruth  Row  Clutcher  has 
the  documents.    "On  May  18,  1774,  he  was  granted  a  warrant  of  survey 
for  fifty  acres  of  land  in  Northumberland  (now  Snyder)  County.   He  was

Gemsbach,  Germany  (in  German)  dated  12  July,  1973. 

2.  Letter  to  Mrs.  R.  L.  Adams  from  Herr  Hertz,  Baden-Baden,  Germany, 
August  1972  -  both  letters  translated  by  John  R.  Adams.

aunt  of  hers  had  visited  there  and  seen  the  monument. 


assessed  for  the  first  time  in  Penn  Township  in  1776.   It  is  believed 
he  became  a  resident  on  his  land  soon  after  the  granting  of  the  warrant 
and  lived  there  until  his  death.   This  tract  of  land  lay  back  (north) 
of  the  present  Salem  (Rau's)  church.   His  wife  was  named  Mary  Magdalene. 
George,  Jr.,  and  John  were  their  sons  and  both  Revolutionary  soldiers. "■'- 

"George,  Senior,  served  as  a  Private  in  Captain  Michael  Weaver's 
Company  of  the  Northumberland  County  Militia  and  may  also  have  been  in 
Lt.  Spee's  party  of  Rangers.   His  widow's  application  for  a  pension 
follows:  'George  Row,  Sr.  enlisted  in  a  Battalion  of  Northumberland 
County  Militia,  commanded  by  Col.  Peter  Hosterman.   He  was  stationed  at 
Foutz  (Focht's)  Mill  in  Buffalo  Valley  in  July,  1780,  was  wounded  by  the 
Indians  in  the  defense  of  this  place.   A  musket  ball  pierced  his  breast 
and  he  died  within  five  hours  after  being  wounded.   His  Widow  Mary 
Magdalene  is  much  in  need  of  a  pension.  The  pension  was  granted.   The 
Widow  Row  was  a  member  of  the  Lutheran  congregation  at  Rau's  Church 
about  the  year  1790". 2  George  Row  was  58  years  of  age  when  he  was  killed 
by  the  Indians. 

The  Revolutionary  War  service  records  of  George  Row,  Senior,  in  addition 
to  the  Pennsylvania  Archives  account,  are  carefully  preserved  in  the 
Pennsylvania  Historical  and  Museum  Commission  in  the  Division  of  Archives 
and  Manuscripts,  Harrisburg,  Pennsylvania.   One  certifies  for  George,  Sr. , 
"a  tour  of  active  duty  in  Northumberland  County  Militia  which  he  performed 
as  a  member  of  Lt.  Jacob  Spee's  Company  serving  on  the  Frontier  May-June 
1780. "3 

Another  certificate  states  that  George  Rowe,  Sr. ,  served  a  tour  of  active 
duty  in  Northumberland  County  Militia  as  a  member  of  Captain  Michael 
Weaver's  Company  during  period  of  June  17-26,  1780.'^   It  was  in  this 
second  tour  of  duty  that  he  was  killed. 

George  Rau-Row-Rowe  was  one  of  the  first  persons  buried  in  Rau's  (Salem) 
cemetery  and  his  grave  is  marked.   Tombstone  inscription  on  the  monument 
erected  to  George  Row,  who  gave  50  acres  for  the  founding  of  the  Lutheran 
Church,  and  is  now  in  the  graveyard  back  of  the  "Rauen  Kirchen"  at  Salem, 
Pennsylvania,  reads:

Letters  of  Administration  on  August  24,  1780,  for  George  Row,  Sr., 
deceased,  were  granted  to  George  Row,  Jr.  and  the  sureties  for  Admin- 
istrator were  Andrew  Morr;  George  Conrad.   This  letter  of  Administration 
is  listed  on  page  18,  Will  Book  I,  Sunbury  Orphan's  Court.   Letters  to 
Testamentary  of  George  Row,  Sr.,  estate  and  credits  were  settled  satis- 
factorily. 

On  the  north  of  the  present  Row  Church  property  the  Rows  early  acquired 
title  to  considerable  tracts  of  land.   From  the  Records  of  Rau's  Church, 
(Salem  Lutheran  &  Reformed),  New  Salem,  Pa.,  (which  book  was  in  the 
custody  of  Mr.  Eugene  Keefer,  the  Church  Historian  for  both  congregations 
using  this  present  church)  the  following: 

"Date  of  Warrant  from  Warrant  Book  dated  1775-6  page  92 
remaining  in  the  Land  Office  of  Pennsylvania  specified 
that  a  tract  of  land  date  of  warrant  April  4th,  1776,  granted 
to  Melchior  Stoch,  Michael  Weaver,  John  Schock,  and  George 
Ulrich,  Co.,  situated  joining  the  land  of  Martin  Treasterid, 
late  the  property  of  Conrad  Wiser  deed  and  land  of  George  Rau 
in  trust  for  the  purpose  of  erecting  a  Lutheran  Church  and 
Schoolhouse,  Northumberland  County." 

In  the  Church  Records  there  is  no  written  evidence  of  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  book- 
let was,  unfortunately,  not  included  in  the  Church  Records  history. 
There  was  mentioned  "an  interesting  booklet  showing  a  church  settlement 
June  3,  1805".  Other  entries  aside  from  offerings  are  made  in  this  booklet. 
It  was  called  -   "Das  Opfer  Buchlein  in  der  Lutherischen  un  Reformiten 
Gemienten,  in  das  Rauen  Kircha".   The  first  entry  in  this  booklet  stated: 
June  the  3,  1805,  Johannes  Rau  and  Johannes  Maurer  had  a  church  settle- 
ment with  the  church  council;  and  paid  8s  and  4p  to  Georg  Miller  and 

Johannes  Filman Sermons  were  preached  in  German  from  the  pulpit 

until  about  1898. 

The  present  church  which  stands  on  the  land  given  by  George  Rau  is  the 
third  one  built  there  since  George's  time  during  the  Revolutionary  War 
period.   It  is  referred  to  in  all  the  local  history  books  as  "Rau's 
Lutheran  and  Reformed  Church",  "Row's  Salem  Lutheran  &  Reformed  Church", 
"Rauen  Kircha",  "Row's  Church  at  Salem,  Pennsylvania".   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  ancestoral  members. 

Two  congregations  use  this  church  building.   One  is  the  Lutheran  and 
Reformed  group  and  the  other  is  the  Congregational  Church.   They  share 
the  church  facilities  on  alternate  Sunday  mornings.   The  choir  director, 
Mr.  Eugene  Keefer,  is  also  the  church  historian  for  both  congregations. 
1967. 

The  Bi-Centennial  of  Rau's  Salem  Lutheran  and  Reformed  Church  was 
obser-zed  October  12  -  November  2,  1975.   Many  Rowe  descendants  from  all 
over  the  United  States  came  for  the  affair. 


ROWE'S  FROM  ALL  OVER  THE  UNITED  STATES  ATTENDED  RAU'S  CHURCH  BICENTENNIAL 
celebration.   The  church  bulletins  for  October  19,  26  and  November  2,  1975, 
gave  this  information:  (Special  thanks  to  Ellen  Rowe  Zschau) 

FIRST  CHURCH  HISTORY:   In  the  year  1766  the  original  application  was  made 
to  the  Province  of  Pennsylvania  for  a  Grant  of  Land  by  Lutheran  settlers 
and  granted  to  Melchior  Stock,  GEORGE  RAU,  and  others.   The  "Log  Church" 
was  built  in  1775  using  the  timber  near  the  church  site.   The  land  grant 
consisted  of  92  acres  and  137  perches.   Reformed  worshipped  in  the  church 
occasionally,  and  were  given  equal  rights  in  1802.   At  times  the  first 
church  was  used  other  than  worship  as  a  place  to  smoke  meat.   The  first 
log  church  building  measured  30  x  35  feet  and  seated  about  400  people. 
A  gallery  was  on  three  sides  with  the  pulpit  on  the  north  side.   Doors 
were  on  the  south  and  east  sides.   Traveling  Lutheran  ministers  were: 
Rev.  Henry  M.  Muhlenberg,  Rev.  John  N.  Kurtz,  Rev.  John  M.  Enterline. 
Reformed  "circuit  riders"  were:  Rev.  John  William  Hendel,  Sr.,  1779  Rev. 
Jonathan  Rahauser,  1792  Rev.  George  Geistweit. 

Ministers  to  the  Church  were:  Lutheran  -  1775  Rev.  John  M.  Enterline, 
1790  Rev.  Frederick  W,  Jasensky,  1798  Rev.  Christian  Espich,  1802  Rev. 
John  Herbst,  1804  Rev.  John  Conrad  Walter.   The  Reformed  ministers  were: 
1802  Rev.  George  Geistweit,  1804  Rev.  John  D.  Adams,  1812  Rev.  J.  John 
Dieffenbach,  1813  Rev.  Yost  Henry  Fries. 

SECOND  CHURCH  HISTORY:   Preparations  and  work  began  in  1812  for  building 
a  new  "brick"  church.   But  work  was  delayed  by  the  absence  of  workmen  who 
left  to  serve  in  the  war.   The  cornerstone  was  laid  on  Sunday,  August  7, 
1814.   On  May  12,  1816,  the  "Brick  Church"  was  dedicated  as  "RAU'S  EVANGEL- 
ICAL LUTHERAN  AND  REFORMED  CHURCH" 

THIRD  CHURCH  HISTORY:   The  Brick  Church  was  demolished  in  1897  and  the 
cornerstone  for  the  present  church  was  laid  on  May  30,  on  the  same  site 
as  the  second  church.   Dedication  was  on  May  24,  1898.   In  1968  the  Re- 
formed congregation  affiliated  with  the  Lutheran  and  the  church  is  now 
known  as  Salem  Evangelical  Lutheran  Church.   A  renovation  program  was 
started  in  1971,  providing  for  more  classrooms,  library,  social  hall, 
etc.   A  kerosene  chandelier  consisting  of  12  globes  was  electrified  and 
is  now  the  focal  point  of  the  main  worship  center.   At  the  completion 
was  the  three  Sunday  nights'  celebration  of  two  hundred  years  of  worship 
as  the  Salem  Congregation  of  original  Rau  Church.   Display  of  artifacts 
and  memorbilia  from  the  early  years  was  in  the  new  basement  of  the  church. 


GEORGE  ROW,  JR.,  was  probably  bom  1750-1  in  Baden-Baden,  Germany. 
He  was  the  second  son  of  George  and  Mary  Magdalene  Row.   In  the  1770 's 
he  married  Anna  Margretha  Weaver,  daughter  of  Michael  and  Anna  Barbara 
(Moycr)  Weaver. 

George,  Jr.,  "was  assessed  for  the  first  time  in  Penn  Township  in  1776 
and  in  1781  was  taxed  with  100  acres  of  land  and  personal  property.   In 
1790  his  family  consisted  of  one  male  over  and  seven  under  16  years, 
and  six  females  ...."  ■'- 

As  a  Private,  George,  Jr.,  served  in  Captain  Michael  Metz's  Company  of 
Northumberland  Militia  in  1780  at  an  unspecified  time  during  the  Rev- 
olutionary War. 

In  late  June,  1780,  when  George,  Sr.,  was  killed  by  the  Indians  at 
Foutz  Mill  in  Buffalo  Valley,  his  oldest  son  John  was  away  fighting  the 
Indians  as  a  private  in  the  Northumberland  County  Militia.   After  George's 
death,  John  then  took  his  Dad's  place  in  Captain  Michael  Weaver's  Company. 
After  George's  death,  John  then  took  his  Dad's  place  in  Captain  Michael 
Weaver's  Company.   John  seirved  a  tour  of  duty  of  two  months  as  a  sub- 
stitute for  his  father.-' 

Thus,  George,  Jr.  was  appointed  administrator  of  his  Dad's  affairs  as 
George,  Sr.  died  without  a  will.   George,  Jr.  had  these  lands  deeded 
in  the  family's  name.   Then  he  deeded  40  acres  of  Row  land  in  1793  to 
his  oldest  son  John  with  the  provision  that  John  take  care  of  Mary  Mag- 
dalene, George's  mother  and  John's  grandmother. 

After  settling  family  affairs  in  Pennsylvania,  George,  Jr.  and  his  family 
left  Pennsylvania  in  the  fall  of  1793  and  migrated  to  Kentucky.   He  left 
his  two  oldest  sons  John  and  Frederick  in  Penn  Township.   Accompanying 
George  and  Anna  Margretha  were  sons  Martin,  Andrew,  Michael,  David,  and 
Daniel,  and  daughter  Catharine.   On  December  4,  1794,  another  son  Samuel 
was  bom  in  Logan  County,  Kentucky. 

From  notes  sent  by  Ellen  Rowe  Zschau,  she  wrote  the  following  biographical 
account  of  the  George,  Row,  Jr.,  family: 

(following  1794  records  of)  "land  surveys  for  both  George  II  and 
his  sons  Martin  and  Michael.  The  son  David  is  mentioned  as  a  chain 
carrier  assisting  with  the  Logan  County  surveys.   Marriage  records 
exist  for  Martin,  Michael,  David,  Daniel,  Catherine.   The  family 
then  moved  (1805-1809)  to  southern  Indiana.   George  II  died  in  Posey 
County  in  1818  and  is  buried  northwest  of  Mt.  Vernon  at  the  Aldrich 
Cemetery.   His  wife  Margareth,  is  also  buried  there.   She  died  in 
1820.   Posey  County  records  exist  that  George  Row  II 's  estate  was 
administered  by  his  son,  Samuel,  and  was  admitted  for  consideration 
May  21,  1821.   After  the  family  moved  to  southern  Indiana,  some 
went  to  Harrison  County,  and  others  in  Posey  County.

FURTHER  FACTS  ON  ROWE  RELATIVES 

JOHN  RAU-ROWE,  son  of  Jacob  was  married  to  Elizabeth  Anderson  (1777- 
1856).   This  couple  had  seven  sons:   Jake  (1808-1878),  George  (1809-1896) 
John  (1810-1868),  Henry  (1813-1899),  Peter  (1815-1888),  Daniel  (1817- 
1898),  and  Benjamin  (1820-1895),   John  and  Elizabeth  Anderson  Rau  moved 
to  Indiana  in  1841.    John  Rau's  children  spelled  their  name  Rau  but  their 
descendants  spelled  the  family  name  Row  and  Rowe.   Present-day  descendants 
spell  it  Rowe  and  pronouce  it  "ow"  to  rhyme  with  "cow". 

John  and  Elizabeth  must  have  returned  to  Pennsylvania  in  later  years 
prior  to  their  deaths.   They  are  both  buried  in  Rau's  Church  cemetery, 
Salem,  Pennsylvania. 

A  twentieth-century  descendant,  of  John's  son  Peter,  lives  in  Elkhart, 
Indiana.   Jack  Roland  Rowe  (sixth  generation  grandson  of  Jacob  Rau-Row- 
Rowe)  compiled  in  1968  the  Rowe  Family  Genealogy  of  descendants  of  Jacob 
and  his  son  John  and  Elizabeth.   Many  of  these  descendants  live  in  Indiana 
today. 

LEWIS  ROWE,  great  grandson  of  George,  Jr.,  was  the  sixth  child  of  Jonathan 
and  Sarah  Jane  Bause  Rau.   He  was  bom  in  1850.   He  never  married.   Lewis 
died  in  Los  Angeles,  California,  about  1918.   He  had  gone  to  Klondike 
during  the  Alaska  gold  rush.   He  struck  gold,  but  lost  it  all  in  a  ship 
wreck  on  the  way  back  to  "the  States".   Lewis  then  went  into  the  real 
estate  business  with  a  partner  in  Los  Angeles.   The  partner  eventually 
decamped  with  their  profits  and  Lewis  died  a  poor  man. 

DANIEL  HAMILTON  ROWE,  bom  August  3,  1845,  at  Corydon,  Harrison  County, 
Indiana,  was  the  son  of  Elias  Rowe  (1819-1878)  and  Sydney  Gochenour  Rowe 
(b.  Va.  1823  -  d.  1855  Ind.).   Elias  Rowe  was  one  of  the  sons  of  Daniel 
Row  and  Mary  Server  Row,  and  grandson  of  George  Rowe,  Jr.  and  Anna  Mar- 
gretha  Weaver  Rowe. 

Daniel  Hamilton,  known  affectionately  as  "Uncle  Ham",  served  in  the  59th 
Indiana  Infantry,  during  the  War  between  the  States,  as  a  Musician  in  Co. 
K  Volunteers.   He  went  to  Martinsville,  Illinois,  following  his  discharge 
from  the  Union  Army.   Here  he  met  Mary  Catherine  Hutchings.   They  were 
married  November  1866.   Both  of  their  children  died  when  quite  young. 
After  Mary  Catherine  died  in  1890,  Uncle  Ham  moved  to  Greenup,  Illinois, 
where  he  eventually  married  Widow  Sarah  Bright.   Mrs.  Bright  had  a 
musically  talented  young  son.    Uncle  Ham  and  the  boy  hit  it  off  beauti- 
fully, spending  much  time  singing  and  playing  instruments.   The  step-son 
went  to  college  where  he  studied  music.   In  the  meantime  Uncle  Ham, 
who  was  a  mechanical  wizard  along  with  his  musical  ability,  had  been  tink- 
ering with  an  old-fashioned  reed  organ.   He  rigged  up  a  cylinder  of  sheet 
brass,  devised  a  system  of  punching  holes  in  the  cylinder,  with  matching 
small  metal  pins  on  an  inner  roll  that  revolved  around  inside  the  cylinder. 
By  using  this  devise  which  had  to  be  operated  by  a  hand  crank,  and  pump- 
ing pedals  simultaneously  was  impractical.   He,  therefore,  applied  the 
same  principles  and  built  a  much  more  refined  instrument  which  he  attached 
to  a  piano  -  the  first  player  piano!

Genealogy  -  updated  1968  by  Jack  Roland  Rowe  of  Elkhart,  Indiana 

2.  Biography  of  Lewis  Rowe  was  taken  from  Ruth  Row  Clutcher's  "RAU  RAUH 
ROW  ROWE  -  1966",  page  21.   She  resides  R-1,  Selinsgrove,  Pa. 


When  the  step-son  was  informed  of  the  project  he  begged  Uncle  Ham  to  patent 
it,  but  Uncle  Ham  just  was  not  the  type  to  push  or  promote  his  project.   His 
continued  tinkerings  produced  a  very  good  working  model.   His  step-son 
brought  his  friends  home  and  they  all  enjoyed  playing  and  listening  to 
Uncle  Ham's  player  piano.   They  questioned  Uncle  Ham  many  times,  and  he 
explained  how  he  had  built  it  and  how  it  really  worked.   He  never  pursued 
getting  his  idea  patented. 

Some  years  later,  tradition  has  it,  some  one  of  these  young  men  had  Uncle 
Ham's  concept  put  on  paper  and  patented. 

Uncle  Ham  died  Mary  24,  1929,  and  is  buried  in  Greenup,  Illinois.   He  never 
received  "official"  credit  for  creating  the  first  "player  piano",  although 
his  family  and  friends  attest  to  his  ingenuity.   But  his  player  piano  in- 
vention lives  on.-'- 

ADAM  ROWE  is  included  in  family  folk-lore  as  a  relative  of  George,  and 
served  with  John  Row  in  Capt.  David  McClure's  Company  at  the  time  of  Dun- 
more  's  War  or  shortly  thereafter.   Adam  is  listed  as  serving  152  days.  It 
is  quite  probable  that  Adam  Row  was  on  the  Ohio  River  before  1774,  coming 
down  from  Buffalo  Valley,  Pennsylvania. 

Early  Pennsylvania  Marriages  Before  1790,  states  that  one  Adam  Row  and 
Susannah  Welsh  were  married  August  22,  1774.  In  1775  Adam  and  his  wife 
settled  a  couple  of  miles  north  of  Fishing  Creek  near  New  Martinsville, 
Virginia  (now  in  state  of  West  Virginia)  according  to  an  account  in  Upper 
Ohio  Valley  Pioneers.  A  surveyor's  report  in  1785  shows  a  run  emptying 
into  the  Ohio  River  about  two  miles  north  of  the  mouth  of  Fishing  Creek, 
formerly  known  as  "Row's  Run". 

In  a  journal  kept  by  an  Englishman,  Nicholas  Cresswell,  while  seeking 
his  fortune  in  the  Western  country,  an  entry  was  made  while  on  his  way  on 
the  Ohio  concerning  one  "Row  a  Dutchman".   Portions  of  the  diary  read: 

Wednesday,  July  5,  1775. . .Proceeded  to  French  Creek,  where  Cresop's 
people  overtook  us... Friday  July  7th,  1775  Got  to  a  plantation  be- 
longing to  one  Rows  a  Dutchman.   Bargained  with  the  old  woman  for 
as  much  mush  as  we  all  could  eat  (this  is  hasty  pudding  made  of 
Indian  meal)  for  about  two  dollars  worth  of  Gunpowder.   We  had  the 
com  to  grind  on  a  hand  mill  and  I  thought  it  an  age  before  we  had 
done  and  the  mush  made.   I  suppose  we  might  have  et  till  we  had 
illed  ourselves  before  we  had  satisfied  our  voracious  appetites. 
Have  eaten  no  bread  for  28  days.   Saturday  July  8th,  1775  This 
morning  one  Captn  David  McClure  came  here.... 

It  was  natural  that  David  McClure  would  stop  at  Fishing  Creek  to  see 
Adam  Row  who  had  previously  served  in  his  Company. 

In  November  of  the  following  year,  1776,  while  in  the  vicinity  of  Grave 
Creek,  and  within  400  yards  of  the  garrison,  the  eldest  son  of  Adam  Row 
was  killed  and  scalped,  and  the  younger,  who  was  with  him,  was  reported 
missing. 


Biography  of  Daniel  Hamilton  Rowe  is  from  a  letter  of  Ellen  Rowe 
Zschau,  his  great-grand  niece,  who  lives  in  Martinsville,  Illinoi: 


ADAM  ROW  (continued  from  page  7)   On  Jan.  2,  1777,  Adam  Row  is  appended 
to  the  pledge  to  serve  as  militia  under  Capt.  Wm.  Harrod  to  assist  in 
the  defense  of  Grave  Creek  fort.   While  on  his  way  down  the  Ohio  in 
March  1780,  in  the  Company  of  Capt.  Harrod,  Row  and  a  young  man  by  the 
name  of  Isaac  Perry  went  ashore  at  Fishing  Creek  to  get  Row  some  articles 
he  had  hidden  under  the  floor  of  his  cabin.  They  found  several  Indians 
at  the  cabin  who  fired  on  them,  killing  Perry.   Adam's  family  had  been 
forted  at  Tomlinson's.   Capt.  Harrod  has  seen  fresh  Indian  signs  and 
had  warned  them  against  going  back  to  the  cabin.   Row  escaped,  but  the 
Indians  were  between  Harrod  and  Row  and  their  canoe  so  they  could  not 
get  to  their  boats  again.   They  were  obliged  to  retreat  to  Ft.  Henry 
until  later  the  next  day.   Then  they  had  to  go  around  back  water  and 
were  delayed  in  reaching  Wheeling  as  scheduled.   The  cabin  referred  to 
in  1780  is  probably  the  same  which  Adam  Row  had  in  1775  when  he  was 
visited  by  McClure  and  Cresswell. 

Sometime  between  1784  and  1793,  Adam  Row  and  his  family,  becoming  very 
tired  of  fort  life,  departed  for  Kentucky.   They  were  attacked  by  Ind- 
ians, who  scalped  the  wife  and  captured  little  Daniel  who  was  never 
heard  from  again.   An  older  child  Jacob  hid  himself  and  slept  in  damp 
leaves  in  a  pit  made  by  an  uprooted  tree  -  took  sick  and  died.   Adam 
later  went  on  to  Kentucky.   From  DeHass,  in  his  History  of  Upper  Ohio 
Valley  Pioneers,  pp.  325-326. 

In  the  Second  Census  of  Kentucky,  1800,  in  Washington  Township  Adam  Row 
is  listed  as  a  resident.   On  November  17,  1796,  the  Washington  County 
Court  House  Records  state  that  Adam  Row  was  issued  a  license  to  marry 
Priscilla  Reed.   He  also  was  a  witness  to  a  will  there  in  1796.   In  1798 
he  was  paid  three  shillings  for  one  wolf  scalp. 

Nothing  further  is  known  about  Adam  Row.   No  records  have  been  found 
either  in  Kentucky  or  in  Ohio  Valley  records  about  him  or  his  descend- 
ants. 

Pittsburgh  Pay  Roll  MMS  14,  15  in  Virginia  State  Library,  Richmond  gives 
his  record  of  service  with  Capt.  McClure  and  Capt.  Harrod.  Herman  Boye, 
Map  of  the  State  of  Virginia,  1827,  shows  the  portion  of  Row's  Run 
based  on  a  manuscript  map  of  Tyler  County  prepared  in  1821.  The  suz-vey 
of  land  made  for  Henry  Enoch  on  May  27,  1785,  on  the  "Ohio  River  Fishing 
Creek  flat"  set  forth  that  the  land  was  settled  by  Adam  Row  in  1775, 
from  Buffalo  Valley. 

ADDENDUM:  The  service  record  of  the  above  Adam  Row  has  been  approved  by 
NSDAR.   His  service  under  Capt.  David  McClure  for  152  days  is  cited  as 
well  as  service  in  the  Jefferson  Militia  under  Capt.  James  Samuels  who 
was  under  General  Clark,  in  Kentucky  for  36  days. 

Adam  Row  died  at  Breckenridge  Co.,  Ky.      Dec.  18,  1801 
Pricilla  Reed  Row  died  at  Perry  Co.,  Ind.    Dec.   2,  1825

JOHN  RAU  ROW,  eldest  son  of  George  and  Mary  Magdalene  Row,  was  bom  in 
1749  in  Germany.   He  came  as  a  small  child  with  his  parents  and  younger 
brother  George  to  this  country  in  1754.   He  grew  up  in  the  Buffalo  Valley 
of  Pennsylvania,  was  baptized  in  the  Lutheran  faith,  and  a  member  of 
Rauen  Kircha,  the  land  for  which  his  father  George  gave. 

John  Row  was  a  resident  for  a  time  in  1772,  but  not  a  landowner,  in 
Stumptown,  Lancaster  County,  Pennsylvania.   On  September  22,  1773,  John 
Row  was  granted  a  warrant  of  survey  for  100  acres  of  land  in  Northumber- 
land (now  Snyder)  County  and  soon  thereafter  he  became  a  resident  of 
Penn  Township.   He  was  an  inhabitant  in  1776  of  Northumberland  County 
and  a  member  of  the  Committee  of  Safety  of  Province  of  Pennslyvania.-*-* 
He  was  assessed  in  Penn  Township  in  1778,  and  1787  he  was  taxed  with 


John  Row  married  Catharine  Schock.-^"  (A  John  Schock  was  one  of  the  trust- 
ees of  land  warranted  April  4,  1776  by  George  Rau  in  trust  for  the  pur- 
pose of  erecting  a  Lutheran  Church  and  schoolhouse,  Northumberland  County.) 

John  and  Catharine  Row  are  listed  as  sponsors  at  the  baptism  of  Elisabeth 
Row,  infant  daughter  of  George  Row,  Jr.  and  Magdalene  Row,  and  at  the 
baptism  of  the  infant  son  John  of  George,  Jr.  and  Magdalene  Rowe.   These 
baptisms  are  also  listed  likewise  in  Rauen  Kircha  baptismal  records  which 
I  read.   John  Row  was  also  mentioned  in  these  church  records  as  one  of 
the  original  settlers  in  the  Salem  area  of  Pennsylvania.   He  was  a  mason. 

In  1790  U.S.  census  this  John  Row  family  consisted  of  "3  males  over  16 
years  and  3  females".   His  children  of  which  there  are  records  were 
George  Row  (bom  1774),  Henry  Row  (bom  1775),  and  Michael  Row  (b.  1794). 
John  Row  was  a  Revolutionary  soldier  from  Penn  Township,  a  Private  from 
1778-1787  in  Northumberland  County  Militia  of  Pennsylvania.   He  was 
listed  as  one  of  the  Revolutionary  solders  buried  in  Row's  Church 
Cemetery,  Salem,  Fa.,  in  an  unmarked  grave.  " 

In  a  Deed  dated  October  31,  1793,  at  the  Sunbury  Court  House,  Pennsylvania, 
it  stated  that  George  Row,  Jr. ,  transferred  40  acres  of  his  land  to 
John  Row,  oldest  son  of  George  Row,  Sr.,  (deceased),  provided  that  "said 
John  do  provide  for  and  maintain  Mary  Magdalene,  mother  of  said  George 
(Jr.),  during  the  natural  life  of  her  the  said  Mary  Magdalene",  mother 
of  John  and  George,  Jr.,  Row.   There  is  no  record  of  Mary  Magdalene, 
known  as  "the  Widow  Row",  in  the  church  books  after  1795  when  her  widow's 
offering,  as  a  member,  was  given.   So  it  is  assumed  she  died,  thereafter.

Note:  The  above  was  copied  by  Elizabeth  Imbody  Adams,  and  has  been  taken 
from  her  "Rau-Row-Rowe  Family  in  Pennsylvania"  that  she  compiled  in  1969 
and  presented  to  the  National  Society  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution, 
through  the  Caroline  Scott  Harrison  Chapter,  Indianapolis,  Indiana.   Since 
then,  from  time  to  time,  I  have  been  in  touch  with  Elizabeth  Imbody  Adams 
and  Ellen  Rowe  Zschau,  and  they  have  been  especially  in  touch  with  each 
other  since  they  are  descended  through  George  Row,  Jr.  son  of  the  immigrant. 
Both  Ellen  and  Elizabeth  have  visited  and  done  research  in  and  around 
Rau's  Church  and  at  Sunsbury.   I  have  not  found  anyone  that  has  directed 
their  research  on  John  or  John  Frederick,  son  of  Geo.-*-. 

These  pages   9  and  upper  portion  of  page  10  were  taken  from  the  1969 
compilation  of  Elizabeth  Imbody  Adams,  while  pages  1  through  9  were  taken 
from  her  compilation  a  few  years  later.   Originally,  Mrs.  Adams  in- 
terpreted the  above  deed  "40  acres  transferred  from  Geo.  Row  to  (his 
brother)  John  Row,  oldest  son  of  said  (the  father)  George".   However,  at 
the  present  time  Mrs.  Adams  and  Mrs.  Zschau  believe  "40  acres  transferred 
from  Geo.  Row  to  (his  son)  John,  oldest  son  of  said  (Geo., Jr.)  George". 
As  new  information  is  found,  old  records  have  to  be  reassessed,  in  the 
light  of  the  added  information. 


A  search  of  records  in  Centre,  Union,  Berks,  Dauphin  and  Lancaster 
counties  might  be  helpful.   I  have  done  some  research  in  Columbiana 
Co.,  Ohio  -  one  of  the  deed  holders  lived  in  Berks  Co.,  Pa.   More 
research  needs  to  be  done  here.  My  George  Row,  4th  generation,  married 
1823  in  Columbiana  Co.,  Ohio.   His  father  was  living  in  Holmes  Co., 
Ohio,  and  he  soon  after  moved  there  himself.   I  believe  the  grandfather 
John  Row  may  be  found  in  Jefferson  or  Stark  County,  Ohio  records.

George  ) 

Frederick  Row  was  one  of  the  sons  of  George  Row,  Jr.  and  Anna  Margretha. 
He  was  born  in  1775.   In  the  Rau's  (Salem)  Church  cemetery  his  old 
tombstone  reads:  "Frederick  Rau  Gebornen  Dec.  25,  1775.   Starb  Jan.  31, 
1859."  His  wife's  tombstone  next  to  his  has  the  inscription:  "Elisabeth 
Weib  von  Friederich  Rau  Geb .  Martz  30,  1776   Starb  April  9,  1849."  After 
Elisabeth  died  Frederick  lived  with  William,  their  son.   Frederick  Row 
was  a  mason,  a  craftsman  of  his  trade.   Folks  in  the  Salem  area  say  that 
chimneys  and  fireplaces  that  he  built  still  stand  today! 

The  names  of  Frederick  and  Elisabeth  Row's  children  named  in  his  will 
are:  William,  Peter,  John,  Samuel,  George,  Jonas  (Jonathan),  Catharine, 
Elizabeth,  and  Polly.   All  of  these  children  and  some  of  their  spouses 
are  buried  in  the  Rau's  (Salem)  Church  cemetery. 

Peter  Row,  son  of  Frederick  and  Elisabeth  Row,  was  bom  June  30,  1803. 
He  married  Lydia  Fetters  (bom  December  16,  1810,  died  March  5,  1884). 
Two  sons  of  Lydia  and  Peter  married  sisters  who  were  rumored  to  be  very 
pretty.   Children  were:  John  Rowe  who  married  Lydia  Luck,  Isaiah  who 
married  Mariah  Luck  (pronounced  today  as  "Luke"  by  their  descendants  in 
Selinsgrove,  Pa.),  Catherine,  Elizabeth,  Lydia,  Emma,  Margaret,  and 
Samuel.   Their  graves  are  marked  in  Rau's  (Salem)  Church  cemetery.   Peter 
died  September  8,  1885. 

Isaiah  Rowe  was  a  wealthy  man  residing  in  Mifflintown,  Pennsylvania.   It 
was  said  that  he  made  his  money  as  a  gunsmith  or  in  manufacturing  gunware. 
He  was  an  officer  of  the  bank  there.   He  was  a  trusting  and  well-liked 
citizen.   But,  he  signed  notes  for  practically  everybody  in  the  township 
who  borrowed  money  from  the  bank  there,  and  died  a  poor  man.   His  widow 
had  to  sell  his  estate  and  the  beautiful,  brick  colonial,  10  bedroom 
home  to  pay  his  debts  after  his  death.   It  was  rumored  that  one  Roscoe 
North,  President  of  the  First  National  Bank  persuaded  Isaiah  Rowe,  a 
director  of  First  National  Bank  to  co-sign  all  loans  and  notes  -  which 
Isaiah  had  eventually  to  pay  off.   He  thus  had  actually  given  his  wealth 
away,  a  poor  businessman  indeed. 

Isaiah  and  Mariah  Luck  Rowe  had  eight  children:  Frederick,  Charles, 
Francis  (Frank) ,  Diana,  Isaac,  Maria,  Robert,  and  William.   Isaiah  was 
born  November  28,  1832  and  died  August  30,  1903.   Mariah 's  birthday  was 
December  10,  1828,  and  she  died  August  23,  1907.   Isaiah  and  Maria  were 
married  by  Rev.  C.  G.  Erlemeyer  on  March  12,  1857.   They  lived  in  Penn 
Township,  raising  their  children  in  Mifflintown.   They  were  members  of 
Rauen  Kircha,  bringing  their  children  up  in  the  Lutheran  faith.   Isaiah 
and  Maria  are  both  buried  in  the  Ray's  Church  cemetery. 

Two  of  the  Rowe  young  men,  Isaac  and  Francis,  married  two  of  the  beautiful 
Andrews  sisters,  Elizabeth  and  Ella,  whose  family  lived  over  the  mountain 
ridge  in  Reed's  Gap,  Pennsylvania.   The  parents  of  Elizabeth  and  Ella, 
John  and  Sarah  Daugherty  Andrews,  were  of  proud  Scots-Irish  stock  and 
held  in  high  esteem  by  their  neighbors  and  friends. 

After  their  marriage  February  13,  1889,  Isaac  and  Elizabeth  Andrews  Rowe 
moved  to  Fostoria,  Ohio,  several  years  later.   They  raised  their  seven 
children  in  the  Lutheran  faith  of  their  forefathers.   Isaac  had  a  dairy 
farm  just  outside  of  town.   The  children  of  Isaac  and  Elizabeth  were: 


Walter,  Frederick,  John,  Golda  Sarah,  Albert  James,  Kenneth,  and  Flor- 
ence Katharine. 

Isaac  and  Elizabeth  Andrews  Rowe  were  my  grandparents.   It  is  said 
that  folks  around  Fostoria  referred  to   Elizabeth  as  "that  stately  and 
beautiful  Mrs.  Rowe."  She  was  described  as  being  about  five  feet  ten 
inches  tall,  with  big  brown  eyes  and  shiny,  silky,  thick  brown  hair. 
Grandpa  was  a  mite  taller  than  she,  with  twinkly  blue  eyes,  wide  cheek- 
bones.  I  remember  a  precisely-trimmed  mustache,  and  silvery,  white 
hair  -  a  truly  handsome  and  distinguished  old  gentleman.   Grandmother 
saved  my  life  when  I  was  four  years  old,  and  my  dress  caught  fire  at 
Christmas-time  from  a  gas  heater  on  the  farmhouse  back  porch.   Grand- 
mother died  the  next  year  after  a  gall-stone  operation.   Grandpa  never 
ried. 


Golda  Sarah,  the  fourth  child  of  Isaac  and  Elizabeth  Rowe,  is  a  five  foot 
three-inch  replica  of  her  mother  Elizabeth.   She  married  my  father 
William  Harold  Imbody,  from  Marion,  Ohio,  who  is  the  fourth  son  of 
Robert  Malvin  and  Rebecca  Harruff  Imbody.  After  my  birth  in  Akron,  Ohio, 
and  my  sister's  birth  in  Athens,  Ohio,  my  Daddy's  business  interests 
moved  us  to  the  Carolinas  where  my  sister  Marjorie  and  I  grew  up. 

Although  my  mother  was  raised  in  the  Lutheran  Church,  she  joined  the 
Methodist  Church,  my  father's  faith.   Thus,  Marjorie  and  I  were  brought 
up  in  the  Methodist  Church.   Marjorie  married  a  Lutheran,  Lt.  Colonel 
Roy  A.  Lange,  and  joined  his  church.   Their  children  are  being  raised 
in  the  Lutheran  faith.   I  married  a  Methodist,  the  Georgia  gentleman 
Robert  Lee  Adams,  and  our  children  are  members  of  the  Methodist  Church. 

The  greatest  sorrow  in  my  parents 's  life  was  the  death  of  my  sister 
in  1966  from  cancer.

THE  ROWE'S  HAVE  A  GODLY  HERITAGE. 

Our  freedom  loving  fathers  left  their  homeland,  for  a 
faraway  land  across  a  perilous  sea,  crowded  into  crude 
sailing  vessels,  existing  on  musty  food  and  water  for 
many  long  weeks,  but  with  hope  in  their  hearts,  prayers 
on  their  lips,  and  rejoicing  in  their  spirits  for  the 
opportunities  that  were  set  before  them,  their  children 
and  their  children's  children. 

God  gave  them  a  safe  journey,  strengthened  their  minds 
and  bodies  for  wilderness  living,  and  twenty  years  later, 
when  they  finally  got  lands  of  their  very  own,  with 
thanksgiving  they  were  eager  to  build  a  house  set  apart 
for  worship  of  God,  in  which  Jesus  Christ  would  be 
praised,  and  their  children,  and  children's  children 
would  learn  of  their  Godly  heritage,  and  how  God  had 
brought  them  from  a  land  of  bondage  to  jealous  warring 
princes,  to  a  land  of  freedom  for  each  man,  woman,  and 
child  to  explore  and  develop  his  innate  God  given 
abilities. 

Our  forefather,  George  Rau,  feeling  the  freedom  and  safety 
of  his  family  in  America  threatened,  with  courage  in  his 
heart,  at  the  age  of  fifty-seven,  left  his  farm  and  family 
to  help  quell  imperial  forces,  and  on  a  July  day  in  1780, 
died  for  his  wife,  children,  and  children's  children, 
down  to  you  and  me.   The  only  thing  he  asked  from  us  is 
that  we  would  put  God  first  in  our  lives,  then  secondly 
preserve  America  as  a  land  of  hope  and  opportunity  for  all 
his  descendants. 


BI-CENTEMNIAL  CELEBRATION 

of 

SALEM  (RAU'S)  CHURCH

RAU-ROW-ROWE  IN  PENNSYLVANIA,  OHIO  AND  INDIANA 

At  the  present  time,  we  may  not  have  established  with  certainty  the  pre- 
cise relationship  of  all  these  Rau-Row-Row  individuals,  but  that  they  are 
related  is  certain.   The  connecting  thread  that  binds  us  is  found  here 
and  there  -  sometimes  it  is  weak,  or  has  come  apart,  while  at  other  points 
it  is  relatively  strong. 

Church,  deed,  will,  probate.,   guardianship,   tax,  marriage,  birth,  service, 
cemetery,  Bible,  family  and  other  records  need  to  be  found  -  and  those 
already  found  need  to  be  constantly  reassessed  in  the  light  of  new  findings. 

My  first  contact  with  anyone  working  seriously  on  the  Row  family  in  Pennsyl- 
vania, was  Ruth  Row  Clutcher.   Apparently,  she  is  the  pioneer  in  working 
to  unravel  the  Rau-Row  Church  Row's.   She  wrote  that  when  her  husband  re- 
tired they  moved  from  Philadelphia  back  to  Snyder  County,  Pennsylvania. 
There  were  many  Row's  still  living  in  the  area  and  as  a  hobby  she  started 
collecting  data  to  see  just  how  she  was  related.   She  obtained  information 
from  early  church  records,  the  three  court  houses  in  what  is  now  Northumber- 
land, Union  and  Snyder  Counties,  local  cemeteries,  the  works  of  several 
local  historians  and  in  conversations  with  several  older  individuals.   As 
most  beginners  in  genealogy,  her  first  findings  were  not  always  documented, 
but  she  by  her  own  statement,  did  not  enter  anything  she  did  not  feel  was 
authentic. 

I  was  excited  to  find  a  George  Row  bom  1774  to  John  and  Catherine  S chock 
Row  in  the  records  she  had  compiled,  since  my  George  Row  buried  in  New 
Bedford,  Ohio,  per  his  tombstone  information,  indicates  he  was  bom  in 
1774.   When  I  wrote  back  to  Mrs.  Clutcher  to  find  out  where  she  had  obtained 
that  information,  she  no  longer  had  a  record  of  the  source,  but  affirmed 
that  she  had  not  entered  anything  she  did  not  feel  was  authentic. 

The  tie  back  to  this  area  in  Pennsylvania  was  reinforced  by  the  obituary 
of  Lewis  Row  "Lewis  Row  was  bom  in  Center  County,  Pennsylvania,  October 
18,  1802.   Emigrated  with  his  parents  to  Holmes  County,  Ohio  in  the  year 
1810.   Lived  in  Holmes,  Coshocton,  and  Tuscarawas  counties  alternately 
until  the  year  1851  when  he  emigrated  to  Owen  Co. ,  Indiana.   His  father 
died  when  he  was  in  the  tender  age  of  about  twelve  years  (about  1814) , 
and  his  mother  died  when  he  was  about  thirty-five  years  old.   He  had  three 
brothers  and  four  sisters,  all  of  whom  preceded  him  in  death. 

"The  deceased  was  married  to  Elizabeth  Smith,  October  25,  1825,  and  lived 
in  the  holy  state  of  matrimony  fifty  years,  five  months  and  twelve  days. 
This  union  was  blessed  with  nine  children;  five  sons  and  four  daughters. 
Two  of  the  sons  preceding  him  in  death  some  thirty  years.   He  had  fifty- 
six  grandchildren  and  fourteen  great  grandchildren. 

"His  earthly  sorrows  were  brought  to  a  close  on  the  7th  day  of  April,  1876, 
at  1  o'clock,  p.m.   Through  the  kind  mercies  of  an  All  Wise  God  his  life 
was  prolonged  to  73  years,  5  months,  and  19  days.   His  funeral  took  place 
on  Sunday,  April  9,  and  was  attended  by  a  large  concourse  of  sorrowing 
relatives  and  friends.   The  services  were  conducted  by  Rev.  Mr.  Jarvis  in 
English,  and  Rev.  J.  F.  Lautenshleger  in  German. 

Also,  from  "A  History  of  Baltic"  (originally  Rowville,  founded  and  named 
after  Lewis  Row),  by  Clarence  Troyer  1948,  beneath  the  above  obituary, 


Mr.  Troyer  continues:  "Below  is  a  copy  of  a  postal  card  written  to  J.  A. 
Row,  Neutral,  Kansas  by  Hannah  Long  to  notify  him  of  the  death  of  Mrs.

Hannah  Long 

The  same  book  gives  a  family  record  of  Nicholas  Row,  gives  his  death 
date  as  June  1814,  but  not  his  birth  date.   His  wife  is  shown  as  Mary 
Gonser  bom  Nov.  4,  1780,  died  July  27,  1838.   Their  children  are  listed 
including  Lewis  Row  bom  Oct.  18,  1802.   In  the  Penns  Creek  Lutheran 
Church  records,  Haines  Twp.,  Centre  Co.,  Pa.,  the  birth  of  Lewis  Row  is 
recorded  "Lucas"  bom  18  Oct.  1802  to  Nicholas  Ranch  and  Magdalena  -  same 
date! 

1800  Census,  Haines  Twp.,  Northumberland  (later  that  year  became  Centre) 
County,  Pennsylvania  lists  George,  Nicholas,  John  and  Peter  Row  as  heads 
of  households.   Prior  to  1850,  census  records  did  not  name  other  members 
of  a  family,  but  simply  numbered  them  in  various  female  and  male  age 
groups.   Also,  in  the  Aaronsburg  Lutheran  Church  records  for  1800  are 
found  Nicholas  Row  (wife  not  named),  Geo.  Rau  (wife  not  named) .Johannes 
Rau  (wife  not  named);  took  communion  5  April  1801,  Henrich  Gansert  (ap- 
parently the  father  of  Nicholas'  wife  Mary  Gonser),  Magd,  Rauh,  Georg 
Hauh,  Magd.  Hauh  (the  latter  two  probably  should  be  Rauh  and  were  recorded, 
translated  or  transcribed  in  error) .   Confirmed  on  the  same  date  was 
Hannah  Rauh.   Communion  list  for  5  June  1802  shows  Nich.  Rauh,  Magd.  Rauh, 
Henrich  Gansert.   Henrich  Gansert  and  Elizabeth  in  1802  were  sponsors 
at  the  baptisms  of  a  Bemer  infant  and  a  Kreamer  infant  in  1804.   In  1300 
Henrick  Gansert  is  the  sponsor  of  a  Miller  infant.   Subsequent  records  in 
the  Aaronsburg  Lutheran  Church  show  George  and  Magdalena  Rauch,  George 
and  Madgalena  Rauh,  Peter  and  Elizabeth  Rau/Rauch.   In  1806  Nicholas  Rauch 
and  Magdalena  were  the  sponsors  for  an  unamed  infant  of  Georg  and  Magdal- 
ena Rauch.   The  last  record  I  have  found  for  Nicholas  and  Magdalena  Rauh 
was  Jan.  26,  1807  in  the  Penns  Creek  Lutheran  Church,  Penn  Hall,  Centre 
Co.,  Pa.   The  Penns  Creek  and  Aaronsburg  Lutheran  church  were  on  the 
same  circuit.   A  birthdate  of  5  Oct.  1802  is  given  for  Elizabeth  dau.  of 
John  Rauch  and  Elizabeth  in  Penns  Creek  Lutheran  Church  record.   Before 
1810,  in  the  Aaronsburg  church  Rauhs  were  sponsoring  Pontius  infants, 
and  Pontius'  were  sponsoring  Rauh  infants.   Similar  close  relationships 
are  shown  with  the  Schneider,  Hubler,  Miller,  Hering,  Kreb,  Dcrman  families 
Other  names  in  the  church  include  Auman,  Neidig,  Hay,  Kriechbaum,  and 
Hanes .   These  names  are  found  again  in  the  Holmes,  Coshocton,  Tuscarawas 
Cos.,0.  with  Row  families  after  1810  or  so,  and  again  about  1850  in  and 
around  DeKalb  County,  Indiana  where  Rows  settled. 


Rev.  L.  A.  W.  Ilgen  from  Germany  had  a  circuit  of  Lutheran  churches  in 
Centre  County,  Pennsylvania,  at  Aaronsburg,  Rebersbury,  Loop,  and  Penns 
Creek.   The  records  are  in  German  and  have  to  be  translated  and  copied. 
Latter  day  citizens  who  apply  for  their  birth  certificates  are  well  aware 
of  the  frequent  mistakes  in  records.   It  seems  that  ministers  would  jot 
down  notes  to  record  at  their  convenience  later,  or  merely  hold  the  in- 
formation in  their  memory  until  a  convenient  time  to  record  the  record. 
Unfortunately,  days,  weeks,  months,  and  sometimes  even  years  elapsed 
before  the  convenient  time  appeared,  and  not  surprisingly  there  were 
omissions  and  mistakes.   Doctors,  until  very  recent  years,  followed  the 
same  procedure  in  recording  births  in  the  leaal  records.   Many  tales  are 
told  of  ministers  and  doctors  coming  to  the  court  house  with  their  pockets 
stuffed  with  odd  bits  of  paper,  to  "catch  up"  with  the  recording  of 
vital  information,  which  hadn't  been  very  well  documented  in  the  first 
place,  and  by  then  their  memory  was  hazy  for  specifics.   A  few  recorders 
were  very  faithful  and  precise,  and  even  had  good  penmanship. 

In  translating  records  from  German  to  English  (not  all  German  script  is 
good  penmanship)  there  may  be  trouble  in  interpreting  the  original,  and 
for  that  reason  the  copy  may  have  errors.   Later  copiers  of  the  copy 
will  make  their  own  errois,  too.   All  these  factors  need  to  be  bom  in 
mind  when  evaluating  Rev.  Ilgen 's  records,  Rau  Church  records  and  others. 

Geo.  Rauh  and  Magdalena  had  six  children  baptized  in  the  Aaronsburg 
church.   Sponsors  of  their  children  included  Nicholas  and  Magalena  Rauh, 
Elizabeth  Pontius,  Suanna  Schneider,  Elizabeth  Schneider,  Jacob  and  Eva 
Bering.   The  dates  range  from  1800  through  1810.   Nicholas  Rau  had  only 
a  daughter  baptized  there  in  1800  and  the  sponsor  was  Johannes  Rau. 
From  1802  through  Jan.  26,  1807,  Nicholas  and  Magdalena  Rauh  are  found  in 
the  Penns  Creek  Lutheran  Church,  Penn  Hall,  Centre  County,  as  is  John 
Rauch  and  Elizabeth  in  1802,  which  may  be  the  ancestors  of  many  of  the 
Elkhart  County,  Indiana  Rowes. 

It  appears  that  Nicholas  Rau  left  Centre  County  first,  as  he  is  not  in 
the  1810  census  there,  although  George  is.   Some  descendants  of  Nicholas 
have  said  that  he  lived  in  Somerset  County,  Pennsylvania  for  awhile  be- 
fore moving  to  Ohio  about  1810  to  1812.   It  seems  that  Georg  Rau  moved 
to  the  same  area  in  Ohio  about  1817.   He  was  in  German  Twp.,  Coshocton 
County  (later  became  Holmes  Co.)  about  1817.   He  is  in  German  Twp., 
Coshocton  Co.  in  the  1820  census.   Nicholas  had  died  June  1814  and  his 
wife  is  in  the  1820  census  as  is  a  young  man  John  and  spouse  both  between 
the  ages  of  18  &  26  -  this  is  likely  George's  oldest  son.   Deeds  show 
that  Nicholas'  family  was  in  Sec.  21  and  George  settled  beside  them  in 
Sec.  22,  as  did  George  Jr.   George's  sons?,  Peter,  Michael,  and  Jacob 
settled  in  Sec.  24,  1  acre  of  Jacob's  land  went  to  the  Lutheran  Evangel- 
ical Church  in  New  Bedford  in  1847.   Samuel  Row  (son  of  George)  sold  out 
his  150  acres  in  Sec.  7  in  1847.   In  the  1850  Census  Samuel  Row  is  living 
in  Fairfield  Twp.,  DeKalb  County,  Indiana,  as  are  Jacob  Row  and  Jacob  G. 
Row.   It  seems  whenever  the  family  moved,  some  members  stayed  behind, 
whether  it  was  from  Pennsylvania  to  Ohio,  or  from  Ohio  to  Indiana.  Occas- 
ionally some  left  behind  would  later  join  those  who  went  ahead,  but  more 
often  they  stayed  and  planted  their  roots  deeply  in  that  community. 

Nicholas  Row's  descendants  were  quite  well  documented  by  Wm.  C.  Row  of 
South  Bend,  Indiana.   In  the  1930 's  he  had  over  100  family  group  sheets. 
After  much  searching,  I  was  able  to  acquire  a  copy  of  his  records.

HISTORY  OF  DE  KALB  COUNTY 

GEORGE  W.  ROW  is  a  native  of  Holmes  County,  Ohio,  bom  Nov.  14,  1831, 
a  son  of  Jacob  Row,  grandson  of  George  Row  and  great-grandson  of  Fred- 
erick Row,  who  was  a  soldier  in  the  war  of  the  Revolution.   Jacob  Row 
was  bom  in  Union  County,  Pa.,  Jan.  1,  1802,  and  when  fifteen  years 
of  age  went  with  his  parents  to  Holmes  County,  Ohio,  where  he  grew  to 
manhood  and  married  Magdalene  Guttery,  a  native  of  Harrison  County, 
Ohio,  daughter  of  Samuel  Guttery,  who  came  from  Londonderry,  Ireland 
in  an  early  day.   In  1847  they  moved  to  JeKalb  County,  Ind.,  and 
entered  forty  acres  of  Government  land  and  bought  forty  acres,  which 
he  cleared  and  improved.   He  died  Aug.  17,  1873.   They  had  a  family  of 
eleven  children  but  five  of  whom  are  now  living.   George  W.  Row  was 
fifteen  years  of  age  when  his  parents  moved  to  DeKalb  County,  and  his 
youth  was  spent  in  assisting  his  father  to  clear  and  improve  his  farm. 
When  twenty  years  of  age  he  learned  the  shoemaker's  trade,  at  which  he 
has  worked  at  intervals  since,  in  connection  with  farming  and  working 
at  the  carpenter's  trade.   He  saved  his  earnings  and  bought  forty 
acres  of  wild  land  which  he  improved,  and  in  1866  sold  it  and  bought 
the  farm  where  he  now  lives,  which  contains  nearly  forty-seven  acres 
of  valuable  land.   When  he  settled  on  his  farm  it  was  heavily  timbered 
with  the  exception  of  eighteen  acres,  and  that  was  only  partially  im- 
proved.  He  has  been  an  energetic  economical  man,  and  now  has  a 
pleasant  home.   He  has  taken  an  interest  in  all  the  public  affairs  of 
the  township,  and  has  held  the  office  of  Constable  four  years,  and 
Magistrate  twelve  years.   In  politics  he  is  a  member  of  the  Green- 
back party.   He  was  married  Jan.  1,  1860,  to  Harriet  F.  Shook,  a  native 
of  Crawford  Co.,  Ohio,  daughter  of  Samuel  and  Ann  (Shong)  Shook.   To 
them  have  been  bom  four  children  -  Albert  E.,  Charles  A.,  Emma  Ann, 
and  Bertha  May.   Mrs.  Row  is  a  member  of  the  German  Reform  church. 


Note:   It  is  so  easy  to  believe  anything  we  see  in  print  is  a  fact, 
however,  if  you  were  interviewed  for  a  biographical  sketch,  without  the 
time  and  opportunity  to  search  old  records,  is  it  not  possible  that  you 
might  make  some  mistakes?   The  above  George  W.  Row  could  not  check  with 
his  father,  because  his  father  had  already  died,  and  it  is  doubtful  if 
he  ever  saw  his  grandparents  after  leaving  Ohio  at  the  age  of  15.  Those 
of  you  who  have  submitted  material  for  publication  are  also  aware  that 
it  is  not  uncommon  to  find  that  editing  has  changed  the  matter  somewhat, 
as  have,  too,  typographical  errors. 

In  trying  to  verify  the  above  biographical  sketch,  one  also  runs  into 
the  German  custom  of  giving  more  than  one  child  the  same  name,  which 
happens  to  be  the  same  name  as  the  father's  and/or  the  grandfather, 
cousins  and  uncles.   Of  course,  each  probably  had  two  or  three  other 
names  that  are  also  carried  by  various  relatives,  but  not  necessarily 
in  the  same  order,  and  these  individuals  are  called  by  one  name  by 
some  individuals  and  still  another  one  of  their  names  by  other  individuals, 
and  this  can  vary, too  by  different  periods  of  time,  which  probably  had 
something  to  do  with  living  in  close  proximity  with  another  relative 
called  by  the  same  name  and  in  order  to  lessen  confusion,  another  name 
was  then  used  for  one  of  the  individuals . 


GEORGE  W.  ROW  1831-1899 
Ancestry  in  Review 

Jacob  Row,  1850  Census,  Fairfield  Twp.,  DeKalb  Co.,  Ind. 
"    "   18A0    "    German  Twp.,  Holmes  Co.,  Ind. 

The  above  data  makes  the  184  7  move  to  Ind.  seem  reasonable. 

"    "   1830  Census  could  be  the  20  to  30  yr.  old  male  in  the  house- 
hold of  Geo.  Row,  Sr.,  German  Twp.,  Holmes  Co.,  Ohio. 

"    "   1830  Dec.   26th,  m.  Martha  Guthrey  per  Holmes  Co.,  0., Marriage 
records.   It  is  reasonable  that  the  recorder  or  copier 
misspelled  Magdalene  Guttery's  name. 
1820  Census,  could  be  the  18-25  yr.  old  male  in  the  household 
of  Geo.  Row,  Sr.,  German  Twp.,  Coshocton  Co.,  Ohio. 

The  biographical  sketch  indicates  that  Jacob  was  born 
in  1802  and  came  with  his  parents  to  Holmes  County  when 
he  was  15  years  old  -  this  would  be  1817,  and  other  data 
seem  to  indicate  that  this  was  about  the  year  that  Geo., 
Sr.  came  to  that  area  of  Ohio.   The  only  other  Rows  in 
the  132Q  Census  in  German  Twp.  (then. a  paxt„Qf_,Cpshqrtflii 
Go.)  were  Molly  (Mary)  Rnw  (widow  nf  Nirhnlas  Rnw) _and. 
,  John  Row.   All  of  Nicholas'  and  Molly's  children  are 
accounted  for  in  their  family  record.  The  other  Row  is 
John  Row  and  spouse,  both  under  age  26;  no  children  are 
shown.   Analysis  of  these  census  records  seem  to  support 
the  record  on  the  opposite  page  that  Jacob  Row  was  the 
son  of  George  Row  that  came  to  Holmes  Co.  in  1817  (was 
actually  Coshocton  Co,  -  no  Holmes  Co.  then). 

George   "  1810  Census,  Haines  Twp,  Centre  Co.,  Pa.  (This  twp.  was  taken 
from  Northumberland  when  Centre  Co.  was  formed  in  ISOO, 
after  the  Census  had  been  taken  in  Haines  Twp.  that  year.) 
The  snag  here  is  that  in  the  sketch  on  the  opposite  page, 
Jacob  Row  is  said  to  have  been  bom  in  Union  Co.,  Pa.  in 
1802.   Union  Co.  was  not  formed  until  1813  from  out  of 
Northumberland  Co.   Furthermore,  a  George  Rauh  and  Mag- 
dalena  are  shown  in  the  Aaronsburg  Lutheran  Church  Records 
Haines  Twp.,  Centre  Co.  in  1800  through  1810.   During  this 
time  they  are  shown  to  have  a  daughter  Elizabeth  bom 
Jan.  11,  1802  and  baptized  Mar.  14,  1802  which  conflicts 
with  the  sketch  on  the  opposite  page.   It  is  not  too 
difficult  to  imagine  that  Jan.  1  should 've  been  Jan.  11 
or  vice  versa,  but  the  recorder  or  copier  would 've  made 
quite  a  grave  error  to  have  placed  the  name  Elizabeth 
if  it  should 've  been  Jacob.   Georg  Rauh  &  Magdalena  are 
shown  in  that  church  to  have  had  a  son  Jacob  bom  Mar. 
29,  1810  and  baptized  May  27,  1810,  however  it  is  quite 
possible  that  they  named  two  sons  Jacob.   In  this  same 
church  Nicholaus  and  Magdalena  are  the  sponsors  of  the 
baptism  of  an  infant  of  Georg  and  Magdalena  Rauch  bom 
Dec.  18,  1805  and  baptized  Feb.  9,  1806,   Nicholas  and 
Magdalena's  children  were  baptized  in  the  neighboring 
Penns  Creek  Lutheran  from  1802  until  Jan,  26,  1807, 
although  they  had  one  child,  Elizabeth  bapt,  at  Aaronsburg 
in  1800.

m.  Dec.  5,  1784  to 
Susannah  Spiera 

d.  Feb.  10,  1835  in 
Reading,  Pa. 
(Berks  Co.)   He 
had  been  a  resident 
there  for  50  yrs., 
and  was  formerly  of 
Northumberland  Co. 
In  his  pension  ap- 
plication he  stated 
that  in  the  year 
1780  he  served  as  a 
substitute  for  his 
father  John  Row  in 
a  company  commanded  by 
Capt.  Weaver  (Geo. 
Row  I  was  serving  in 
Capt.  Mich  .  Weaver's 
Co.  when  he  was  fatal- 
ly wounded  July  1780) 
for  2  mo.  and  that  he 
then  resided  in  NU  Co. 
Is  it  possible  this 
John  served  a  Spring 
tour  of  2  mo.  for  his 
father  John  who  was 
"one  and  the  same  as 
Geo.  Rau  1723-1780), 
and  he  favored  using 
the  name  John  for  his 
father  since  he  was

If  this  was  a  son,  too,

plain why  the  older  son

>[ARY  MAGDALENA  (MOLLY)  GONSER,  daughter  of  Henry  Gansert/Gonser 

b.  Nov.   4,  1780 

d.  Jan.  27,  1838 

bu.  1st  Lutheran  Church  Cemetery,  New  Bedford,  Ohio 

Her  husband  died  in  June  1814,  and  she  was  left  with  7  young  children,  and 
expecting  her  8th  in  Oct.   However,  her  father  and  brothers  lived,  in  the 
area  and  about  1817  George  Row  (probably  her  brother-in-law)  came  from  Pa. 
and  settled  on  the  farm  next  door.   On  Dec.  19,  1820  her  father  Henry  Gonser 
signed  his  will  in  Holmes  Co.  and  names  "my  daughter  Molly  Row".   A  Henry 
Gonser  is  in  the  same  Lutheran  Church  records  at  Aaronsburg  (Centre  Co.,  Pa.) 

(  Henri ch  Gansert)  in  the  early  1800s  as  is  Nicholas  &  Magdalena  Rauh, 
George  &  Magdalena  Rauh,  Johannes  Rau,  Peter  &  Elizabeth  Rauh.   It  appears 
that  Henry  Gonser  and  all  these  Rauhs  migrated  to  this  area  of  Ohio.   In  the 
1820  C.  the  widow  is  listed  as  Molly  Rau,  German  Twp.,  Coshocton/Holmes  Co. 
1825  Tax  list  as  Mary  Row,  German  Twp.,  Holmes  Co.,  Ohio 
1830  C.   listed  Mary  Row,     "    " 

Mary  Row  is  buried  in  the  same  cemetery  as  George  Row  and  Magdalena  his 
wife  -  they  are  in  the  same  row.   On  one  side  of  Mary  is  her  dau.  Mary,  wife 
of  A.  Holderbound,  on  the  other  side  of  Mary  is  an  unmarked  space  (probably 
her  husband),  then  her  dau.  Susanah  Bickel,  then  Geo.'s  dau.  Susannah,  and 
then  Geo.  Row  and  his  wife.

Abraham  Row  was  a  resident  of  Baltic,  Ohio,  formerly  known  as  Rowville,  and 
platted  by  his  Uncle  Lewis  Row.   In  1971  I  visited  two  of  his  grandchildren 
in  Baltic,  Harold  Row  (son  of  Wm.  A.  Row)  and  Mrs.  Lewis  (Sylvia)  Lahm, 
daughter  of  Clara  (Row)  Syler.   Harold  and  his  gracious  wife  live  in  a 
beautiful  large  home  with  huge  porches,  cupolas,  slate  roof,  plate  glass 
windows  with  leaded  panes,  and  gorgeous  woodwork.   Rosie  loves  cooking  and 
needlework  and  Harold  is  busy  seeing  that  the  home  is  properly  maintained. 
Sylvia  Syler  Lahm  lived  nearby  in  her  comfortable  home,  and  was  very  gracious, 
too.   She  is  quite  an  amazing  woman  with  quite  a  few  interests  and  collections 
that  she  kindly  showed  Mrs.  Stanley  Thomas  and  I.   It  was  Mrs.  Thomas  (Barbara)

*  I  was  very  eager  to  see  the  110  Family  Records  that  had  been  compiled  in 
1933,  and  immediately  sent  a  letter  to  Wm.  C.  Row  at  the  South  Bend  address, 
but  it  was  returned.   I  wrote  letters  to  a  number  of  South  Bend  Rowes  but 
they  had  no  knowledge  of  Wm.  C.  Row  now  any  such  collection  of  records. 
I  was  very  concerned  that  this  collection  was  in  someone's  attic,  trunk  and 
forgotten,  or  worse  yet,  had  been  destroyed.   In  my  correspondence  with 
Allen  D.  Sheneman  in  California,  he  had  suggested  I  contact  Mrs.  S.  D. 
(Gladie  Gonser)  Sprunger  of  Walkerton,  Ind.   We  had  been  exchanging  in- 
formation and  when  I  told  her  of  this  problem  she  got  to  work  on  it  and 
discovered  that  Wm.  C.  Row  had  died  in  1956  and  was  a  retired  mail  carrier. 
I  placed  queries  in  magazines  and  newspapers  and  finally  Wm.  C.  Row's  nephew, 
Fred  R.ensberger  of  Lakeville,  Ind.  wrote  that  he  had  the  records  and  that  I 
could  see  them.   Mr.  Row  had  written  the  records  in  a  large  leather  bound 
journal,  in  beautiful  clear  handwriting.   I  photocopied  the  entire  book 
which  is  a  fairly  complete  record  of  the  descendants  of  Nicholas  Row.

According  to  Early  Pa.  Births  by  Dr.  Charles  Fisher,  at  Row's  Church,  Salem, 
Pa.,  on  Jan.  7,  1796,  John  Rau  s/o  George,  Jr.  &  Magdalena  Row  was  bapt. 
with  John  &  Catherine  Rau  sponsors  (the  grandparents).   It  was  first  thought 
this  Geo.  Rau, Jr.  was  the  George^  that  settled  in  Posey  Co.,  Ind,  but  other 
researchers  found  that  he  moved  in  1794  before  this  child  was  bapt.   In  those 
days  "Jr."  was  tagged  onto  the  younger,  when  two  or  more  individuals  in  the 
family  had  the  same  name,  which  was  not  always  a  father-son  relationship. 
However,  per  Ann  Magdalena's  tombstone  -  she  would've  been  only  14.   Perhaps 
there  is  a  wrong  date  somewhere?   In  any  case,  a  John  Row  bom  approximately 
this  date  was  with  these  early  Row  families  in  Ohio.   He  does  net  belong 
to  Nicholas  Row  and  the  only  other  possibility  would  be  Peter  Row  who  keeps 
eluding  me  both  in  Centre  Co.  (Haines  Twp.)  and  in  Holmes  Co.,  0.

The  father  wrote  a 
will  Dec.  8th  & 
stated  that  Mikel 
Row  son  of  Samuel 
equal  share  with 
"my  own  children". 
It  would  seem  that 
Michael,  his  son, 
did  not  leave  issue, 
and  he  gave  that 
share  to  Samuel's 
son.   He  named 
Andrew  Row  as  an 
Ex.   Geo.  S.  was

ANKE  MAGDALENA

It  may  be  that  Anne  Magdalena  was  the  second  wife  of  George,  since  if  all  dates 
found  are  correct,  she  would 've  been  only  14  when  John  was  bom,  although  George 
the  father  would 've  been  22.   In  the  Pa.  church  records  George's  wife  is  always 
referred  to  as  Magdalena,  while  tombstones  of  children  buried  in  New  Bedford 
that  I  found  are  Michael  Row  son  of  G.  &  A.  Row  and  Susannah  dau.  of  Geo.  & 
Ann  M.  Row  and  her  own  tombstone  is  Anne  Magdalena  wife  of  George  Row.   In  the 
1810  C.  the  family  is  still  in  Haines  Twp.,  Center  Co.,  Pa.  and  in  the  1820  C. 
they  are  in  German  Twp.,  Coshocton  Co.,  Ohio  (later  became  Holmes  Co),  and  re- 
flects the  age  difference  of  the  above  Anne  Magdalena  and  her  husband.   Children 
names  are  not  given  in  this  census,  but  there  are  3  m.  under  10,  1  m.  under  16, 
1  m.  under  18,  1  m.  under  26,  2  fe.   under  10  and  1  fe.  under  16.   The  only 
other  Rows  there  in  that  census  are  the  widow  Molly  Row  with  her  family  and  John 
Row  and  wife  with  no  children,  and  both  under  the  age  of  26. 

Do  these  belong?

The  families  of  the  above  Jacob  1821-1860  and  his  brother  John  1829-1909  are

the  1850  C.  and  is  listed  there  with  two  children,  George  and  John.   He  died 
when  only  39  yr.  old  and  is  buried  in  the  Fairfield  Cemetery.   His  widow  is 
listed  in  the  1860  C.  with  children  John,  Eve,  Catherine  &  Jacob.   She  m.  1866

Elizabeth  is  probably  a  cousin  of  her  husband's  brother  George's  wife, 
Mary  Magdalena  Snellenberger,  d/o   Geo.  &  Margaretha  (Roush)  Snellenberger . 
It  is  very  likely  that  her  descendants  could  prove  a  Revolutionary  ancestor 
for  acceptance  into  DAR  or  SAR.   See  Snyder  Co.  Pioneers  by  Fisher  5.  The 
Roush  Family  in  America  by  L.  L.  Roush.   After  Elizabeth's  husband  died 
she  came  to  Fairfield  Twp,  DeKalb  Co.,  Ind.  where  her  oldest  son  Jacob  and 
son  John  were  living.   In  the  1860  C.  she  is  living  there  with  her  bachelor 
sons  and  daughter  Elizabeth  age  13.   In  the  1880  C.  she  is  living  with

bu  prob.  1st  Lutheran  Cemetery,  New  Bedford, 
in  a  grave  no  longer  marked. 

There  are  two  stones,  fallen  and  broken,  that  I  was  unable  to  read  much  on, 
but  near  Geo.  S.  Row's  parents  stones.   I  was  able  to  get  the  following  info 
Hannah  d/o  George  S.  (this  is  surely  Geo.  S.  Row)  and  Magdalina  Row  d.  Dec. 
age  20y.   I  suspect  Geo.  S.  is  buried  with  these  daughters.   Geo.  S.  and 
his  wife  had  prolonged  illnesses.   Eliza  (Snellenberger)  Deetz  wrote  from 
Fairfield  to  Elijah  Row  in  Benton,  Ohio  April  1,  1865  "I  got  a  letter  from 
Conrad  (Snellenberger)  last  weak.. and  he  wrote  that  your  father  is  with 
them  and  I  would  like  to  know  where  your  mother  is  and  how  she  gets  along.." 
Geo.  S.  Row  raised  Conrad  as  his  own  child,  and  Conrad  was  now  married  and 
living  in  Holmes  Co.   Probably  George's  wife  was  with  her  Snellenberger 
relatives  in  Fiat,  Ohio  off  and  on  (she  had  stomach  cancer  per  her  death 
record)  and  is  buried  with  her  Snellenberger  relatives  in  Fiat  Luth.  Cem. 
Elijah  Row  kept  a  Bible  record  naming  relationships,  starting  with  Father.

St.  Peter's  Church  record  -  translated  from  German:  "Magdalena  Row  widow 
of  Georg  Row.   She  was  bom  13  Sept.  1799.   She  died  10  June  1868.  She  had 
lived  68  years,  9  months,  27  days.   God  gave  she  and  her  husband  10  child- 
ren, 6  daughters  and  4  sons,  but  2  daughters  died,  so  they  only  had  8 
children  alive.   She  had  a  life  with  her  husband  45  years.   She  was  3  yrs . 
a  widow."   In  the  same  church  records  we  find  the  death  record  of  Mary  - 
Magdalena  Snellenberger  Row's  father,  Georg  Snellenberger,  and  his  surviv- 
ing wife's  name  is  given  -  Margaretha  Raush.   In  Columbiana  Co.,  0.  deed 
records  show  Geo.  Snellenberger  as  a  grantor  as  early  as  1813.   As  late  as 
1860  Snellenbergers  in  DeKalb  Co.,  Ind.  and  as  late  as  1864  in  Allen  Co., 
Ind.  are  signing  off  deeds  (Quit  Claim)  in  Columbiana  Co.,  Ohio.   A  John 
Rough  was  in  Lisbon,  Ohio  (Columbiana  Co.)  in  1807.   Perhaps  this  was  Geo. 
S.  Row's  grandfather  or  some  other  relative  and  it  was  because  of  these 
relatives  in  Columbiana  Co.  that  he  happened  to  meet  and  marry  the  Snellen- 
berger girl.   Her  ancestry  traces  back,  to  John  Geo.  Roush,  a  Rev.  soldier, 
and  his  father,  Geo.  Casper  Roush,  also  a  Rev.  soldier.   John  Geo.  Roush's 
wife  was  Christina  Morr,  dau.  of  Andrew  Morr,  Jr.,  Patriot.

She  is  probably  a  relative  of  John  Frederick's  mother  -  see  p.  35  &  67.

Bickel  marriages.  These  families  were  neighbors  in  Pennsylvania,  Ohio,  and 
Indiana.  The  Lutheran  Church  at  New  Bedford,  Ohio,  was  first  organized  in 
1820  at  Thomas  Bickel 's  home,  later  becoming  the  Zion  Evangelical  &  Reformed 
Church.  It  was  in  this  church  cemetery  that  so  many  of  our  ancestors  were

Eliiah  Row  was   an  excellent  wagon  maker  and  a   fine  furniture   craftsman.      His 
graidson,    Geo.    L.    Row  of  Millershurg,    Ohio,   has   in  front  of  his      irep   ace  a 
"mammy's  bench"  made  by   Elijah   for  his  wife.      One   end  had   a  front-rail    to 
hold   the  baby   in,    and   Elijah's  wife   could  sit   at   the  other  end   and   do  her 
needle-work  and   ^ock  the  baby   at   the  same   time.      With   the   rockers    and   front- 
rail  off      it   looks   like   a  deacon's  bench.      Geo.    L.    Row  also  has   the   appoint- 
ment  of  his   grandfather  as   Postmaster  of   Saltillo,    signed  by  Elijah  Row  and 
the  Probate  !udge  of  Holmes   Co.    in   1864-.      Elijah  Row  kept   a  Bible  Record  of 
his    family,    and  named   each  person's   relationship   to  him,    starting   first  with 
"Father   -  George  S.    Row".      I  was   very   excited  when   I   learned   the  Geo     L.    Rowe 
had   this   Bible   and   that  my   own   grt.    grandfather  was    listed  as     Brother  -

Eliza  Deetz  Row  was  the  "doctor"  and  mid-wife  for  miles  around,  riding  a 
horse,  saddle-bags  loaded  with  equipment  and  medication,  off  in  an  instant 
any  time  of  day  or  night.   Her  grandson,  Geo.  L.  Rowe  of  Millersburg  has 
her  medical  notebook,  full  of  her  hand-written  notes  (many  obtained  from 
a  reputable  physician  in  practice  many  miles  away)  of  remedies  for  particular 
ailments.   There  was  a  large  lot  between  their  house  and  the  church  in 
Benton,  and  in  this  garden  she  raised  many  of  the  herbs  she  used  in  treat- 
ment.  Her  heart  and  home  were  always  open,  and  the  morning  often  brought 
surprises  of  newcomers  in  the  household  that  had  come  by  the  previous  night. 
Eliza  janitored  the  Lutheran  church  next  door.   At  the  75th  Anniversary  of 
the  church  held  on  Dec.  30,  1956,  her  son  Albert  Rowe  told  that  he  knew 
his  mother  had  taught  the  Men's  Class  over  30  years;  how  she  janitored  the 
church  and  doctored  the  community.

funeral  -  Hudson  U.B.  Church 


Mary  Lidy's  grave  has  been  lovingly  marked  by  her  grandchild.  Hazel  (Rowe)  Lake. 
It  is  likely  that  Mary  was  bom  in  Quincey,  Pa  per  her  brother's  Civil  War 
enlistment  "I,  John  G.  Lidy,  born  in  Quincey,  in  the  State  of  Pennsylvania.." 
John's  obituary  states  that  he  was  bom  in  Huntington  Co.,  Pa.   It  is  more 
likely  that  his  enlistment  is  the  accurate  information.   Quincy  is  about  4  mi. 
from  Waynesboro  in  Franklin  Co.   Franklin  Co.  was  organized  in  1784.   There 
are  records  of  "Leidi  family"  in  Jacob's  Lutheran  Church  near  Waynesboro  in 
1802  and  I  found  5  Lidy  families  in  Franklin  Co.  in  the  1810  Pa.  Census  index. 
After  leaving  Monroeville,  Mary  went  up  into  Michigan  and  eventually  married 
a  man  by  the  name  of  "Chase"  -  perhaps  around  Lake  Odessa.   Sometime  after 
his  death  she  stayed  awhile  in  Hudson  with  her  son  George  and  family.   George's 
wife  is  reported  to  have  found  her  a  very  congenial  woman,  and  the  grand- 
children remember  her  reading  her  German  Bible.   In  her  large  German  Bible 
she  had  written  her  name  and  birthdate  as  well  as  those  of  her  husband  and 
children.   The  handwriting  is  in  English  and  difficult  to  make  out.   More 
about  the  family  is  learned  from  her  brother's  obituary.  "John  Lidy  was  bom 
in  Huntington  Co.,  Pa.,  Aug.  15,  1829,  and  died  at  Millersburg,  Ohio,  Sat.

About  1906  Geo.  W.  moved  from  Parker  Place ,  near  Ft.  Wayne,  in  to  Hudson 
where  his  father,  and  two  brothers  were  living.    George  bought  down  the 
street  about  a  block  west  from  his  father,  and  after  a  good  crop  of  onions, 
put  a  two-story  addition,  porches,  and  other  improvements  in  the  house.   His 
married  brother  John  lived  across  the  street  and  his  brother  Adam  and  wife 
lived  about  two  block  further  west,  but  separated  by  a  couple  fields.  George 
was  a  fur  buyer  and  covered  a  large  territory  -  selling  in  Ft.  Wayne,  Toledo 
and  elsewhere.   In  the  early  years  he  hired  a  driver  (carriage  and  horses), 
but  after  his  sons  were  older  bought  an  automobile  and  had  them  drive  him 
around  from  place  to  place  on  his  routes.   It  appears  that  his  descendants

NANCY  ALBERTA  LOWE, 


dau.  of  John  and  Rachel  (Parker)  Lowe 


b.  Feb.   2,  1877  Parker  Place,  St.  Joseph  Twp.,  Allen  Co.,  Ind. 
d.  June   1,  1953  Sacred  Heart  Hospital,  Garrett,  Ind. 
bu.  Circle  Cemetery,  Hudson,   Ind. 

Nancy  was  only  5  when  her  father  died  and  she  lost  her  husband  when  she  was  46. 
Nancy's  grandfather,  Peter  Parker,  after  a  few  years,  followed  his  brother 
Christian  Parker  from  Preble  Co.,  Ohio  to  St.  Joseph  Twp.,  Allen  Co.,  Ind., 
Christian  arrived  by  1834  and  soon  became  involved  in  politics,  and  served  in 
various  offices,  and  as  a  Whig  candidate  served  four  terms  in  the  Indiana 
legislature.   Peter  arrived  in  1840  and  settled  on  the  same  comers  as  his 
brother.   Peter  gave  land  for  the  Parker  Cemetery,  a  church  and  school.   In  a 
few  years  Parker  sons  were  raising  their  families  on  partitions  of  Parker  land 
and  the  settlement  became  known  as  Parker  Place.   See  "Valley  of  the  Upper 
Maumee",  1889,  pages  259,  260,  265.   Peter's  wife  ancestors  were  early  large 
land  holders  in  Augusta  Co.,  Va.   Revolutionary  ancestors  on  Nancy's  side  of 
the  family  would  be  1)  Amariah  Parker  2)Adam  Loy   3)John  Black  4)  Samuel  Black 
We  wonder  what  Nancy  Alberta  Lowe  knew  about  her  ancestors.   Surely  her  mother 
was  aware  of  the  contributions  her  ancestors  made  in  the  settling  of  this  country. 


4) GEORGIA 


Georgia  was  said  to 
have  been  an  adorable 
toddler  at  the  time 
her  mother  was  nurs- 
ing the  grandmother 
Rachel  Lowe  through 
her  last  illness. 

For  some  reason, 
Rachel  told  Nancy 
"You  will  never 
raise  that  child". 
This  prediction 
came  true.   She  had 
been  a  healthy  child, 
but  she  took  ill  & 
died  not  too  long 
after  her  grand- 
mother. 

(Georgia  b.  1-27-1904 
d.  11-01-1905  per  her' 
mother's  Bible  record)

Carl  was  a  good  tool  & 
die  man,  and  in  the 
early  years  of  their 
marriage  his  work  took 
them  several  places,  in- 
cluding Dayton,  Oh. 
Hazel  was  very  happy 
when  he  came  back  to  her 
home  area,  and  bought  a 
home  on  the  west  edge 
of  Ashley,  which  they 
modernized,  comfortably 
and  beautifully  furnish- 
ed.  Hazel's  mother  had 
a  long  difficult  illness. 
They  took  her  into  their 
home  and  Hazel  devoted 
herself  to  her  mother's 
care.   It  was  in  the 
midst  of  this  that  Carl 
died  suddenly  from  a 
heart  attack.  Hazel  now 
resides  in  Angola,  Ind.

DeKalb  County  See  p.  18  this  book. 

This  places  Jacob's  father,  George  Row  in  Holmes  Co.,  Oh  1816  or  1817.   I 
can  find  only  one  George  Row  in  census  and  tax  records  in  that  area  at  that 
time.   Holmes  Co.  was  not  yet  formed,  but  George  Row, (see  p.  28)  from  all  data 
I  can  find  settled  in  German  Twp.,  Coshocton  Co.,  Oh  about  1817  -  this  twp. 
later  was  used  in  the  formation  of  Holmes  Co.,  Oh.   From  the  1820C.  it  would 
appear  that  Jacob  is  still  living  at  home  with  his  parents.   It  appears  that 
he  is  still  living  at  home  in  the  1830C.  Marriage  records  in  Holmes  Co.,  0. 
reveal  that  he  married  Martha  Guthrey  Dec.  26,  1830,  which  would  be  after  the 
census  was  taken.   Jacob  is  found  in  his  own  household  in  the  1840C.  German 
Twp.,  Holmes  Co.,  Oh  and  in  the  1850C.  living  in  Fairfield  Twp.,  DeKalb  Co., 
In.   The  Biographical  Sketch  indicates  that  Jacob  was  the  grandson  of  Fred- 
erick Row,  and  that  Jacob  Row  was  bom  in  Union  Co.,  Pa.   Union  Co.  was  not 
formed  until  1813,  but  I  would  suppose  that  Jacob  was  born  in  the  area  that 
may  later  made  up  part  of  Union  Co.  An  unexplained  Frederick  Row  appears 
from  time  to  time  in  old  Northumberland  Co.  records  and  it  would  seem  that 
in  some  records  he  was  called  John  and  other  records  Frederick  -  a  very  com- 
mon problem  in  these  German  families.    See  pages  20  &  36. 
Only  5  of  Jacob's  children  still  living  at  the  time  the  DeKalb  Co.  History 
was  done.

After   1880  Census 


Magdalene's  marriage  record  is  found  in  Holmes  County  as  Martha  Guthrey, 
Dec.  26,1830.  In  the  1880C.  Fairfield  Twp.,  DeKalb  Co.,     she  is  a  widow 
living  with  her  daugher  Sarah  and  husband,  Charles  Hoffmyer.   Magdalena 
is  listed  as  a  boarder  in  the  home,  age  68,  bom  in  Ohio,  her  father  born 
in  Scotland  and  her  mother  in  Switzerland.   The  History  of  DeKalb  Co. 
states  that  her  father  was  from  Londonderry,  Ireland.   A  few  years  after 
the  1880C.  the  Charles  Hoffmyer 's  moved  to  Hart,  Michigan   and  took  Mag-

Rodney  Mills  sent  the  names  of  Sarah  Allen's  parents.   Estella  Wamock  wrote 
from  Texas  in  1971  "Grandma  was  a  wonderful  person;  was  left  when  her  husband 
died  at  52.   Her  youngest  Mabel  was  3  years  old,  so  she  had  a  hard  time  in 
life.   Mabel  was  left  an  orphan  at  13,  and  the  family  of  five  was  wiped  out 
with  typhoid  fever.   We  then  lived  in  Cleveland  and  mother  (Nora)  went  out 
to  care  for  them.   It  was  all  so  sad.. the  five  died  in  the  period  of  four 
months."  Thelmer  Rowe  of  Helmer,  Ind.  recalled  that  the  children  that  died 
were  Edgar,  Nick,  Bill  &  Ollie.  (Order  of  births  not  known.")

My  maiden  name  was  Estella  Spindler,  daughter  of  Laurel  and  Nora  Rowe 
Spindler,  and  an  only  child.   My  mother  came  from  Zeke  or  Zax  Rowe.   I 
have  his  obituary  but  can't  find  it  right  now.   My  grandfather  Nicklous 
Demas  Spindler  lived,  and  had  a  160  acre  farm  near  Fairfield  and  Hudson, 
Ind.   We  lived  in  our  house  and  Delia  Husselman,  my  cousin,  whose  step- 
father was  David  Rowe,  and  married  to  Delia's  mother  (neighbors?).   She 
was  a  sister  to  my  father,  so  the  Rowe  boys  were  double  cousins  of  mine. 
We  went  to  the  old  Neidieg  School  and  John  Urey  was  our  teacher.   Dr. 
Harold  Urey,  the  scientist  was  a  classmate  of  ours  and  I  correspond  with 
his  sister  Martha  in  California. .. .My  grandfather  Rowe  was  married  to 
Sarah  Allen.   His  (her?)  mother  was  married  two  times-to  Shatto  the  sec- 
ond husband,  and  Grandma  Allen  Rowe  had  William,  Newton,  Calvin  and 
Jesse  (Shatto)  half-brothers  and  one  sister  (half-sister)  Lena,  Mrs. 
John  Bickel.   Grandma's  full  brothers  were  Frank  Allen  and  a  sister 
Almanda  Allen  Randall  who  lived  in  Pennsylvania.   Grandma-  's  family 
was  David,  Nora-my  mother,  William,  Oliver,  Edgar,  Elza,  Emma  Blanche, 
and  Mable  Rowe  (Sell) .   One  brother  Albert  was  killed  at  20  by  a  train. 

Grandma  was  a  wonderful  person,  was  left  when  her  husband  died  at  52. 
Her  youngest  Mabel  Rowe  Sell  was  3  years  old,  so  she  had  a  hard  time  in 
life.  Mabel  was  left  an  orphan  at  13,  and  the  family  of  five  was  wiped 
out  with  typhoid  fever.   We  then  lived  in  Cleveland  and  mother  (Nora) 
went  out  to  care  for  them.   It  was  all  so  sad,  I  remember  going  out  and 
five  died  in  the  period  of  four  months. 

Mabel  Rowe  Sell  had  four  children,  Robert  a  builder,  Paul  a  high  school 
teacher,  Ruth  a  housewife.   Mary  married  a  minister  and  college  professor 
in  Houghton,  N.Y.   Mary  is  a  teacher,  also.   My  aunt  was  and  is  a  lovely 
person.   She  had  many  strokes  and  has  been  on  her  back.   Is  a  wonderful 
Christian.   She  is  an  ordained  Wesleyan  Methodist  minister,  and  yes, 
gave  lectures  all  over.   She  was  an  eloquent  speaker  and  spoke  to  large 
audiences  and  to  all  the  churches  in  Canton,  Ohio,  where  she  lived  many 
years.   She  graduated  from  Theology  School  in  Cincinnatti. ,  then  became 
Matron  of  Bethskare  Home  in  Canton.   After  marriage  she  became  Supt.  of 
the  home  for  many  years  and  she  was  the  means  of  helping  many  girls  to 
become  good  women.   She  was  loved  and  highly  respected  in  Canton  and  did 
a  lot  of  Court  work.   I  was  close  to  her  as  I  moved  to  Dalton,  Ohio, 
and  it  is  20  miles  from  Canton. 

My  mother's  grandfather  was  Jacob  Row  and  her  father  Zake.   I  think 
his  name  was  Zachariah.   Nora  was  the  oldest  daughter  of  Zake's.  Geo. 
and  brother  Ez  or  Ed,  and  sisters  were  Hannah  and  Sarah  Rowe.   Hannah 
married  to  P.  Ling  and  Sarah  to  H.  Hoffmeyer.   I  remember  them  and  visited 
with  my  parents  in  their  home.   Aunt  Sarah  lived  in  Hart,  Mich,  and  Han- 
nah in  Steuben  Co.,  Ind.   Geo.  was  the  father  of  Bertha  Tuttle  and 
Emma  Getts.   I  am  not  sure  who  Delia  Wittig,  wife  of  Fred  was.   Her  sis- 
ter Ella  Deeds  were  cousins  of  mother  on  the  Rowe  side. .and  we  were  re- 
lated to  a  John  Rowe.   I  visited  a  Rowe  about  three  years  ago  while  at 
my  cousin,  Mrs.  Husselman 's  home.   His  name,  I  am  sure  was  Ora.   He  re- 
membered us  well  and  I  think  said  we  were  cousins  back  away  -  maybe  my 
grandfather.   He  was  a  Trustee  and  knew  Earl  Husselman  well  as  he  was 
a  county  commissioner  9  yrs.   My  cousin's  husband  also  a  cousin  by  mar- 
riage to  Aunt  Emma  Rowe  Husselman,  mother's  sister,  and  she  had  one  son 


Correspondence  from  Estella  (Spindler)  Wamock  continued: 

who  owned  the  Hamilton  News  in  Hamilton,  Ind.   He  died  suddenly  a  year 
ago.   His  half-brother  was  Oak  Husselman,  the  attorney  in  Auburn,  who 
also  is  deceased  but  has  a  son  who  is  an  attorney  in  Auburn.   My  cousin 
was  Horace  H.   Geo.  Rowe  who  married  Aunt  Harriet  Shook  was  mother's 
uncle.   He  lived  west  of  Hudson.   Mother  had  a  cousin  Charles  Rowe. 

Mother  had  an  uncle  minister,  either  Ed  or  Chas.  Rowe,  and  the  other 
one  was  a  cousin.  Somewhere  Delia  Wittig  and  Henry  Deeds'  wife,  I  think 
Ella  was  her  name,  were  cousins  of  my  mother.  I  remember  as  a  little 
girl  going  to  visit  all  these  people.  We  belonged  to  the  United  Breth- 
em  Church  and  went  to  Maple  Grove  and  sometimes  to  Hudson.  At  Maple 
Grove  there  was  a  Rowe  family  who  they  use  to  say  was  cousins  in  some 
way.   Now  bear  with  me,  as  I  am  doing  this  hurriedly. 

I  have  Uncle  Geo.  Rowe  and  Aunt  Harriet's  picture.   Do  you  have  one? 
Also,  Emma  Rowe  Getts  and  Bertha  Rowe  Tuttle  .

Andrew   and  Susan    (Sheneman)    Row  were  members   of    the   first   Lutheran  Church 
in  New  Bedford.      The   earliest   records   of    that   church   cannot  be   found,    but 
the   following  book  shows   this    family   as  members    and   lists    the   children's 
names.      W.    E.    Farver  wrote   in  his   "History  of   the  Descendants   of   Christian 
and  Susannah  Farver"   that   this    church  was   organized   in  1820   at   Thomas 
Bickel's   home,    later  becoming   the  Zion  Evangelical   &   Reformed   Church. 
Thomas   Bickel   appears    to  be  Susan's  -brother,  u-ncle.  .

Descendants   of   Susan  Sheneman  will  want   to   read   "The   Sheneman-Faust-Bickel- 
Machling  Genealogy"  by  Allen  D.    Sheneman.      Henry  and  Julia   (Bickel)    Sheneman 
are  buried   in   the   same   cemetery   in  New  Bedford,    Ohio,    as    are  Andrew's   parents. 
George   &  Anne  Magdalena  Row,    and  many,    many  other  relatives.      Julia  Bickel 
was   the   daughter  of  Thomas    and  Barbara    (Weaver)    Bickel.      Barbara  was    the 
daughter  of   Capt.   Michael  Weaver  of  Northumberland   Co.,   Pa.      The  Bickels  were 
from  Northumberland  Co.,    too,    as  were   the  Rowes.      The  Sheneman 's    came   from 
Somerset   Co.,    Pa.      It   is   said   that   some  of   our  Rowes    that   came   to   this    area 
in  Ohio   spent   a  few  years    in  Somerset  Co.,    Pa.      Susan's    children  s   names

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Row,  U4U9  South 
Row  Rd.,  :Monroeville  are  hosts  for  sev- 
eral family  reunions  this  Summer  in  cin- 
neciion  with  the  100  year  anniversan-  of 
family  ownership  of  the  Row  farm. 

Henry's  grandfather,  Daniel  A.  Row. 
[lurchased  the  farm  in  18T3.  At  the  time 
be  was  a  shoe  cobbler  in  Monrneville 
where  he  lived  with  his  wife  and  five 
children.  He  moved  the  family  to  the 
farm  in  1S83.  Daniel  was  bom  Au?.  30, 
1S39.  m  Holm-es  Co..  O.,  one  of  ten  chil- 
dren of  Andrew  and  Susanna  (Shene- 
man)  Row.  He  married  Margaret  Mar- 
uuardt  Auc.  30.  1858.  in  Allen  Co.,  the 
youngest  daughter  of  nine  children  of 
John  and  Ann  Marquardt.  Margaret  was 
bom  April  9,  1849  and  died  Oct.  14,  1931. 
Daniel  died  in  1914.  Of  Daniel's  six  broth- 
ers and  three  sisters,  tlie  family  has 
b^cattered  to  Iowa,  Arkansas,  Ohio  and 
Michigan. 

Henry's  father.  Samuel  Row,  inherited 
the  farm  with  his  brothers  and  sisters, 
then  purchased  their  shares.  Samuel  was 
born  in  November  1873,  married  Nettie 
Freeze  (1874-1946)  of  Van  Wert  Co.,  0. 
Samuel  died  in  1952.  Daniel,  Margaret. 
Samuel  and  Nettie  are  buried  in  the  Mon- 
roeviUe  Memorial  Cemetery'. 

When  Samuel  died  in  1952,  Henry  in- 
herited the  farm  with  liis  three  brothers 
and  two  sisters,  and  purchased  their 
shares,  also.  Henry  mamed  D.  Lorraine 
Rohlol.  Sept.  11,  1938.  They  are  the  par- 
ents of  four  children :  Paul,  Dorothey  M., 
Owen  and  JoAnn.  They  also  have  four 
granddaughters.

My  query  happened  to  be  in  the  same 
issue  of  the  Fort  Wayne  News-Sentinel 
(Sat.,  June  16,  1973)  as  the  very 
interesting  Henry  Row  item  on  the 
left. 

My  parents,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Charles  Row, 
and  his  sister  and  husband,  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Henry  Kress  ley,  visited  the 
Henry  Row  homestead  several  years  age. 

Henr>'  Row  shares  our  common  ancestor, 
Geo.  Row-^  (John",  Geo.  ).   According 
to  Deed  Records,  Henry's  grandfather 
Daniel  Row  was  preceded  to  the  Monroe- 
ville  area  by  his  first  cousins,  John 
Adam  and  Cornelius  Row,  and  by  a  Hen- 
ry Row,   probably  his  older  brother 
that  later  settled  in  St.  Joseph  Co., 
Ind.   Cornelius  went  back  to  Holmes 
Co.,  Ohio  after  a  short  time  but  John 
Adam  was  there  from  about  1868  to  1900 
when  he  moved  to  Hudson,  Ind.   John 
Frederick  Row,  John  Adam's  brother, 
moved  to  the  Monroeville  area,  too,  and 
seems  to  have  been  there  for  20  years 
or  so  before  moving  to  Garrett,  Ind. 


Since  the  above  query  we  have  moved  to  3903  Australian  Court, 
West  Palm  Beach,  Fl  33407

German  Lutherans.  Margaretha  Roush 's  grandfather,  George  Casper  Roush  was 
bcm  in  Germany  in  1721  and  sailed  for  America  from  Rotterdam,  Holland  in 
1742  on  the  British  ship  "Robert  &  Alice"  and  arrived  in  Philadelphia  where 
he  took  the  English  oath  of  allegiance  on  Sept.  24,  1742.   His  wife  was 

Anna  Maria  .   In  1749  he  was  a  landowner  in  Lancaster  (now  Lebanon) 

Co.,  Pa.  and  some  of  his  older  children  were  baptized  at  the  Hill  Church. 
About  1770  Casper  Roush  and  other  familes  (possibly  Snellenberger  and  Row,  too) 
moved  into  the  section  around  Freeburg.   In  1774  Casper  Roush  and  Andrew  !• 
Morr,  Sr.  applied  for  land  to  build  a  church.   Both  of  these  men  served  in 
the  Revolutionary  War.   Andrew  Morr,  Sr.  was  the  father  of  Christina  Morr 
who  married  Casper  Roush 's  son  John  George  and  thus  both  of  these  men  were 
our  Margaretha  Roush  Snellenberger' s  grandfathers  and  through  her  our  an- 
cestors, too.  See  Snyder  County  Pioneers  by  Dr.  Charles  A.  Fisher,  1938. 

George  Snellenberger  moved  to  western  Pennsylvania  where  most  of  his 
children  were  bom.   A  death  record  in  the  Holmes  Co,  Ohio  courthouse 
states  that  his  daughter  Mary  Magdalena  Row  died  June  10,  1868;  aged  69 
years;  place  of  birth,  Westmoreland  Co.,  Pa.;  parents,  George  and  Mary 
Snellenberger.  This  would  put  George  Snellenberger  in  Westmoreland  County 
by  1799.   An  1805  Tax  List  shows  him  living  in  Hemphill  Twp.,  Westmoreland 
County.   Census  records  indicate  that  all  of  his  children  were  born  in 
Pennsylvania  except  the  youngest  child  born  1813  in  Ohio.   Records  in 
Columbiana  Co.,  Ohio  show  that  George  Snellenberger  was  granted  a  deed  in 
Center  Twp.,  Section  29  in  1813,  and  he  is  still  living  there  at  the  time  of 
the  1830  Census.   At  the  time  of  the  1840  census  he  seems  to  be  living  with 
his  son  John  in  Hardy  Twp.,  Holmes  Co.,  Ohio.   At  the  time  of  his  death  in 
1854  he  was  a  member  of  the  St.  Peter's  Lutheran  Church  in  Bucks  Twp., 
Tuscarawas  County,  Ohio  and  his  death  record  is  recorded  there  in  German, 
stating  that  he  was  the  father  of  four  sons  and  four  daughters,  all  still 
living.   That  he  was  bom  on  11  April  1772  and  died  on  the  29th  of  May  and 
they  buried  him  on  the  31st,  and  further  states  that  his  wife  was  Margaretha 
Raush,  and  that  she  had  eight  children,  all  of  them  living. 


.  Andrew^MErr,was  closely  involved  with  the  Row  family  in  Northumberland 
Co.,  Pennsylvania.   Andrew  Morr  and  George  Conrad  were  surities  for 
George  Row,  Jr.  to  administer  the  estate  of  his  father  George  Row,  Sr.

JOHN  AND  CATHERINE  (SHOCH)  ROW 

Since  writing  pages  20  and  21,  new  information  has  been  received  from 
Mrs.  W.  Dale  Todd,  2409  Bay  Blvd.  //5,  Indian  Rocks  Beach,  FL  33435.   While 
she  and  her  daughter  were  researching  the  Todd  line,  they  found  Eli  Todd 
and  Anna  Row  were  married  on  April  30,  1818  in  Circleville,  Pickaway  Co., 
Ohio.   Their  further  search  in  Pickaway  County  records  revealed  that  Anna's 
parents  were  John  and  Catherine  (Shoch)  Row.   They  found  an  indenture  dated 
June  7,  1815  which  revealed  that  Catherine,  wife  of  John  Row,  was  a  daughter 
and  heir  of  the  late  Matthias  Shoch  of  Northumberland  county  in  the  state 
of  Pennsylvania.   This  indenture  names  the  several  heirs  of  Matthias  Shoch. 
all  of  whom  were  residents  at  that  time  in  Union  Co.,  Pa.,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  Henry  Shoch  and  Christina  his  wife  and  John  Row  and  Catharina  his 
wife,  both  couples  residents  of  Pickaway  County,  Ohio.   Death  records  in 
Pickaway  Co.,  Ohio,  show  that  John  Row  died  Nov.  8,  1834,  age  61  years, 
11  months,  17  days  and  that  Catherine  Row  died  Dec.  9,  1845,  age  73.   Other 
records  show  that  John  Row  came  to  Pickaway  County  in  1808. 

These  findings  proved  that  we  were  dealing  with  two  different  John  Row's 
on  page  20.  While  I  have  not  personally  had  the  opportunity  of  doing  re- 
search of  legal  records  in  Centre,  Union,  Synder  and  the  parent  county  of 
Northumberland,  I  went  again  over  the  compilations  of  Dr.  Charles  A.  Fisher 
of  Selinsgrove,  Pa.,  History  of  Centre  and  Clinton  Counties,  Pa.,  by  John 
Blair  Linn  and  his  Annals  of  Buffalo  Valley,  tax  records  copied  from  original 
lists  in  the  Northumberland  court  house  by  Mary  Lontz,  and  the  census  records 
I  have  copied.  I  went  through  my  many  Row/Rowe  notes  that  had  not  previously 
seemed  applicable  to  this  family,  and  found  material  from  Sciota,  Ross,  and 
Pickaway  Counties,  as  well  as  Putman  County, Ohio,  and  some  of  this  material 
was  found  to  belong,  after-all.   Much,  much  more  needs  to  be  found. 

Mrs.  Todd  sent  a  photocopy  of  another  petition  she  found  in  Pickaway  County, 
Ohio,  filed  Aug.  14,  1839  by  Michael  Row,  demanding  partition  of  certain 
real  estate,  names  his  mother,  Catharin  Row  "the  widow  of  John  Row  dec'd" 
and  the  other  heirs,  which  gives  us  the  names  of  the  living  children  at 
that  time,  although  not  their  order  of  birth:

SNYDER  COUi\i.'Y  VlOiiCunJb 
by 
Dr.  Charles  A.  Fisher 
1938 
ANDREW  MORR,  JR.,  was  a  son  of  Andrew  Morr,  Senior.   He  was  born  on 
Apr.  30,  1727,  supposedly  in  Germany,  and  died  in  what  is  now  Washington 
Twp.,  Snyder  Co.,  and  his  will  was  probated  at  Sunbury,  Pa.  on  May  18, 

1801 In  1758  Andrew  lived  in  what  is  now  Shaef ferstown,  Lebanon 

Co.,  Pa.,  but  was  then  Heidelberg  Twp.  of  Lancaster  Co.   His  wife  was 

Catherine  Elizabeth ,  and  she  was  bom  on  Apr.  17,  1732.   On 

Sept.  3,  1766,  he  made  application  for  a  warrant  of  survey  for  160 
acres  adjoining  the  land  of  Geo.  Bumbach  and  Charles  Brunk,  on  the 
Middle  Creek,  in  what  is  now  Washington  Township.   Andrew  and  his  father 
and  their  families  came  to  the  new  land  in  1770  or  1771.   In  1772,  "Widow 
of  Andrew  Morr"  was  assessed  in  Penn  Township,  but  as  Andrew  evidently 
became  the  owner  of  his  father's  holdings,  we  do  not  find  his  name  on 
the  Penn  tax  list  until  1776.    In  November  of  the  year  he  was  elected 
assessor  of  Penn  Twp.  and  on  Feb.  13,  1777  he  was  a  member  of  the  Com- 
mittee of  Safety  for  Penn  Twp.,  and  thus  became  one  of  those  who  helped 
establish  our  present  country.   In  1780  he  was  constable  of  Penn  Twp.  In 
1781,  he  was  assessed  with  400  acres  of  land,  a  sawmill,  gristmill,  and 
personal  property.   In  1787,  he  was  one  of  the  viewers  for  the  formation 
of  Beaver  Twp.   In  1790,  he  was  appointed  a  viewer  to  help  fix  the  bound- 
ary lines  of  Mahantango  Twp.    In  1801,  he  lived  in  the  village  of  Free- 
burg.   The  Lutheran  Church,  north  of  Freeburg,  was  sometimes  known  as 
Morr's  Church,  because  Andrew  and  his  father  had  much  to  do  with  the 
founding  and  support  of  it.   In  1794,  Andrew  and  his  wife  gave  the  church 
'   a  fine  silver  communion  set,  which  was  inscribed  with  their  names.   This 
set  is  still  in  existence,  although  no  longer  in  use.  In  addition  to 
other  property,  Andrew  owned  an  oil  mill  and  a  distillery.   He  dealt  ex- 
tensively in  real  estate,  and  at  one  time  was  one  of  the  largest  realty 
owners  of  this  section.   His  wife,  Catherine  Elizabeth,  died  about  1795, 
and  he  married  the  widow  Dewald.   Andrew  and  his  two  wives  are  buried  in 
the  cemetery  of  old  Zion  or  Morr's  Church.   Only  the  grave  of  his  second 

wife  is  marked The  children  of  Andrew  Morr  and  his  first  wife  were: 

Christina,  1757-1793,  (married  John  George  Roush,  a  Revolutionary  soldier) . 


JOHN  GEORGE  ROUSH  was  the  6th  child  of  George  Casper  Roush  and  his  wife, 
Anna  Maria.   "George"  as  he  was  commonly  called,  was  bom  in  what  is 
today  Lebanon  Co.,  Pa.,  on  Aug.  2,  1753,  and  died  near  what  is  today  Free- 
burg, Pa.,  in  1822  or  1823,  and  is  buried  in  an  unmarked  grave  in  the 
old  Zion  Lutheran  Cemetery,  about  a  mile  north  of  Freeburg.   His  father 
is  buried  there,  too.   His  first  wife  was  Christina,  the  oldest  daughter 
of  Andrew  Morr,  Jr.   She  was  bom  on  Aug.  4,  1757,  probably  at  Schaeffers- 
town,  Lebanon  Co.,  Pa.,  and  died  near  Freeburg  on  June  7,  1793.   George 
came  to  what  is  now  Washington  Tv/p. ,  Snyder  Co.,  with  his  parents  in  1770, 

or  before in  1787  he  was  taxed  with  300  acres  of  land In  1801,  he 

contributed  to  the  fund  for  the  erection,  of  the  First  Lutheran  Church  at 
Selingrove. . . .The  children  of  George  and  his  first  wife  were,  Margaret 
(Mrs.  George  Shellenberger,  or  Snellenberger,  who  moved  to  Ohio) .... 

Row's  Church  at  Salem,  Pa.  is  only  about  6  or  7  miles  from  Morr's  Church 
north  of  Freeburg.   I  mentioned  to  some  Rowe's  at  Salem  that  our  Morr 
ancestor  gave  that  church  a  silver  communion  set.   They  said  "Oh,  that 
famous  set!?!   Someone  stole  that  a  few  years  ago  -  it  was  in  all  the 
papers  -  it  had  everyone  so  upset.   I  don't  think  it  was  ever  found."

LETTERS 

Letter  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Elijah  Row  of  Benton,  Ohio  (see  p.  38),  from  their 
neice,  Lizzie  Reyher  (Eve  Elizabeth).   See  p.  37.   The  letter  is  now  in  the 
possession  of  Elijah's  grandson,  Geo.  Rowe  of  Millersburg,  Ohio; 

Garrett,  Ind. 
Monday  evening 

May  19,  1884 
Dear  Uncle  and  Aunt,   We  this  afternoon  received  your  letter  bearing  the 
sad  news  of  your  dear  daughter's  death.  I  condole  with  you  most  sincerely 
on  this  sad  event,  and  if  simpathy  of  friends  can  be  any  consolation  under 
the  trying  circumstances,  be  assured  that  we  all  share  in  your  sorrow  for 
her  loss,  but  her  death  teaches  us  that  sooner  or  later  we  must  all  make 
the  journey  across  that  majestic  river,  let  us  hope  therefore  that  in  the 
golden  summer  of  another  life,  children,  mother  and  father  will  gather 
again  in  a  sweet  reunion,  where  sorrow  and  partings  will  be  unknown. 

We  are  all  well  but  father's  health  is  very  poor,  he  has  gone  to 
Kansas.   Started  from  home  last  Wednes  night  and  expected  to  arrive  at 
Atchison,  Kan.  on  Friday  and  remain  there  till  this  morning.   So  I  presume 
he  is  on  his  way  from  Atchison  to  Lamed  at  which  place  he  will  arrive 
sometime  tomorrow  morning.   We  have  not  heard  from  him  since  he  left  Chicago 
and  I  am  getting  so  anxious  to  hear  from  him  for  he  has  been  having  spells 
of  smothering  nearly  every  night  for  the  last  two  mon.   One  of  the  doctors 
says  it  is  heart  disease  and  is  liable  to  drop  off  at  any  time.   Some  of 
the  doctors  say  it  is  liver  and  kidney  disease.   At  any  rate  I  think  his 
case  is  a  very  critical  one  and  if  the  change  of  atmosphere  does  not  help 
him  I  shall  not  have  the  least  ray  of  hope  of  his  recovery  for  he  is  getting 
pretty  old  and  his  whole  system  seems  to  be  run  down,  I  am  just  frantic  to 
hear  from  him.   He  was  fifty-eight  years  old  one  week  ago  to  day.   One  week 
ago  yesterday  brother  George  and  family  and  Aunt  Rachel  was  down  to  see  him 
and  we  gave  him  a  little  surprise.  My  stepmother  was  sick  so  I  got  up  a 
big  dinner  for  him  prepared  things  at  my  house  and  took  them  out  home  with- 
out his  knowlege  and  we  children  all  clubbed  together  and  got  him  a  nice 
suit  of  clothes  and  presented  him  with  it  as  a  birthday  gift.   I  wish  you 
could  have  been  here  and  seen  how  pleased  he  was.   He  said  the  thoughts  of 
his  children  being  so  thoughtful  of  him  pleased  him  many  times  more  than  the 
clothes  did,  but  poor  man  he  has  always  worked  hard  for  his  children  and 
still  works  hard  whenever  he  is  able  and  often  when  not  able.   I  will  forward 
your  letter  to  him  at  once.   I  hope  when  this  reaches  you  it  will  find  your 
family  all  rested  to  health  when  you  write  tell  me  how  many  children  you 
have  and  give  me  their  names.   I  have  one  little  girl  19  months  old.   Brother 
George's  have  one  boy  and  one  little  girl  baby  4  months  old.   Isaiah's  have 
three  boys  and  one  girl  living  and  one  boy  and  one  girl  dead.   I  must  close 
for  I  can  think  of  nothing  to  interest  you  but  hope  you  will  write  to  me 
soon.   I  will  send  you  my  baby's  picture  when  I  write  again.  Her  name  is 
Carrie  Mabel.   I  am  getting  along  well.   Have  a  good  husband  he  is  a  pardner 
in  his  father's  drygoods  and  clothing  sore  and  is  doing  well.  With  these 
few  remarks  I  close  hoping  to  hear  from  you  all  very  soon. 
I  remain  as  ever  your  affectionate  niece 

Mrs.  Lizzie  Reyher 

A  letter  from  Cynthia  Rovze  Paquin,  2435  Hickory  Dr.,  Dyer,  In  46311  on 
July  6,  1977  states  that  her  father  Harry  C.  Rowe  was  bom  in  Garrett,  Ind. 
on  Feb.  5,  1895,  and  that  he  lived  in  Garrett  all  of  his  life,  except  for 
a  short  period  in  Lamed,  Kan.  as  a  boy.   He  worked  on  the  BS^O  Railroad 
for  54  yrs,  and  for  the  past  Ih   yr.  has  been  living  with  her.

CEMETERY 
Salem  Lutheran  Church 
(Rau's  Church) 
Penn  Township,  Snyder  Co.,  Pa, 

A  nice  large  marble  monument  was  erected  by  the  descendants  of 
George  Rau/Rowe  (see  page  2) .   Apparently  there  are  many  Rowes 
buried  on  all  sides  of  him,  whose  graves  are  no  longer  marked 
or  remembered.   In  front  of  Georg  Rau  are  a  number  of  Aurands, 
and  to  the  left  are  Laudenslagers.   There  are  many  Laudenslagers 
and  Aurands  throughout  the  cemetery,  as  well  as  Rowes.   There 
are  many  Boyer,  Romig,  Luck,  Woodruff,  and  some  Erdly,  Knause,

LUTHERAN  CHURCH  RECORDS  -  CENTRE  COUNTY,  PENNSYLVANIA 

"In  the  latter  part  of  the  year  1793,  according  to  the  authority  of  Rev. 
John  Tomlinson,  present  pastor.  Rev.  Christian  Espich,  who  was  at  that 
time  at  Sunbury,  visited  Penn's  valley,  and  through  his  efforts  Salem 
Evangelical  Lutheran  Church  was  organized  and  preparations  made  to  build 
a  church... The  records  from  1794  to  1799  are  incomplete.   The  Rev.  Chris- 
tian Espich  performed  pastoral  duties  in  the  congregation  until  1800,  when 
the  Rev.  Ludwig  Albrecht  Wilhelm  Ilgen,  of  Hehlingen,  Markgrafschaf t, 
Germany,  was  called  to  the  charge.   ..The  Rev.  Ilgen  continued  to  serve 
the  congregations  connected  with  this  charge,  viz:  Aaronsburg,  Rebersburg, 
Loop,  and  Penn's  Creek,  until  his  death  on  the  20th  of  August,  1823."

RAU-ROW-ROWE  IN  PENNSYLVANIA 

Since  learning  that  John  Row  was  bom  in  1772  and  died  Nov.  8,  1834,  in 
Circleville,  Ohio,  and  that  his  wife,  Catherine  Shoch,  daughter  of  Mathias 
Shoch  was  bom  about  1772,  having  died  Dec.  9,  1845,  at  the  age  of  73,  per 
Pickaway  County,  Ohio,  records,  I  have  re-evaluated  my  Pennslyvania  Row/Rowe 
records.   Please  read  the  first  two  paragraphs  of  page  70. 

The  authors  I  have  consulted  all  mention  that  the  1776  list  of  inhabitants/ 
taxables  for  Penn  Twp.  was  imperfect,  damaged  and/or  not  complete,  nor  do 
they  all  interpret  the  names  exactly  the  same.   However,  there  is  general 
agreement  that  in  1776  the  list  of  married  men  included  l)John  Row 
2)George  Row  3)  George  Row,  Jr.   4)  Martin  Row.   One  reports  in  addition 
another  Martin  which  he  interprets  as  "Martin  Raw"  and  another  copier  in- 
terprets as  "Martin  Brau",  so  this  may  or  may  not  have  been  a  Row.   I  believe 
we  can  safely  assume  that  all  these  four  above  mentioned  men  were  at  least 
21  years  of  age  and  bom  in  1755  or  probably  earlier.   Because  of  possible 
intermarriages  with  the  Rau-Row-Rowe  family,  I  will  mention  that  the  prev- 
iously mentioned  copiers  of  the  tax/inhabitant  lists  also  mention  Tobias 
Bickle,  Henry  Kriger,  George  Laudenslager,  Fight,  George,  and  Jacob  Levin- 
good,  Martin,  George  and  John  Shoch,  Lawrence  Shallenberger,  and  Casper  and 
George  Roush  -  these  were  all  in  Penn  Twp.,  Northumberland  Co.,  Pennsylvania. 
Another  copier  also  has  the  name  of  Jacob  Raush,  and  another  lists  as  a 
single  man  Simeon  Bickle.  Andrew  Dellman  is  also  found  in  one  of  the  lists 
as  a  single  man. 

The  1780  tax  lists  show  the  same  four  Rau/Row  men  in  Penns  Twp.,  Northumber- 
land County,   In  addition  are  5)Martin  Row,  Jr.   6)  Ludwig  Row.   This  would 
seem  to  indicate  that  Martin,  Jr.  was  bom  by  1759  as  was  Ludwig.   This 
would  indicate,  I  believe,  that  Martin  Sr.  was  bom  by  1740. 

The  1790  tax  lists  show  a  John,  George  and  Martin  Row  -  three  Row  men  in 
Penn  Township.   From  other  records  we  know  that  both  George  Sr.  and  Martin 
Sr.  had  been  killed  by  Indians.  Also,  in  Penn  Twp.  are  found  John,  Simon, 
and  Tobias  Bickle,  and  also  a  single  man  Tobias  Bickle;  Andrew  Dillman; 
George  Lantenslager;  Valentine  Loudesleger;  Jacob  Lebegut  (Levengood?) , 
Geo.,  Jacob,  John  and  Philip  Shock,  Melchoir  and  Peter  Stock,  and  Mathias 
Schoch,  as  well  as  single  men  John  &  Stophel  Schock;  Lorentz  Shollenberger, 
Stophel  Shatzberger,  Casper  and  Geo.  Roush.  Not  to  be  omitted  in  Anthony 
Snellenberger  in  Penn  Twp.  (3  males  over  16  and  1  female). 

A  1796  list  in  Mkhantango  Twp.  (now  Snyder  Co.,  Pa.)  includes  Frederick,  Sr. 
and  John  Albright;  Jacob  Eckhart;  Jacob  &  John  Livingood;  Jacob  Livingood, 
saw-mill;  Jacob  Roush,  Sr.,  Jr.;  Frederick  Stah;  John  Stahl;  no  Rau/Row/ 
Rowe  found.    (Annals  of  Buffalo  Valley  by  John  Blair  Linn) 

The  1799  additional  taxables  in  Penn  Twp.  per  Linn  include  a  John  and  Fred- 
erick Row,  masons. 

The  1797  list  in  Haine's  Twp.  (Northumberland  Co.)  show  Dietrich  Row,  and 
the  1801  list  in  Haine's  Twp.  shows  Geo.  Row  (blacksmith)  and  John  Row 
(weaver).   Also,  found  are  Geo.  Pontius  and  John  Neidigh.  In  the  single 
men's  list  is  Peter  Row.   (History  of  Centre  &  eiinton  Go's,  by  Linn  1883.) 
Please  see  the  same  book  for  many  other  Pontius  names?,  also  check  Annals 
of  Buffalo  Valley  by  Linn.
