Low's (Lau's) (Law's) Lutheran Church was formed in the 1760s to 1770s. In the early days they shared a meeting place with the German Reformed Church that was later known as The Brick Church. They used the building on alternating Sundays - all services were in German. Although they shared a common language and had little theological differences, the two groups would soon part. The Lutherans leaned towards the English crown while the German Reformed were in favor of independence. One Sunday in May of 1779 the German Reformed were locked out of the meeting place. The third structure of this church is of interest to me. It was built in 1889 by twin brothers who were carpenters. They were Haywood Michael Noah and Martin Franklin Noah. They are my first cousins 4 times removed with three different sets of ancestors. Both of their parents died prior to the twins 13th birthday. The twins went to live with their uncle Isaiah Noah (my ancestor). They helped build a house for Uncle Isaiah and apparently lived with him until they married in 1890 and 1895. The alter and lectern that they built at Low's is supposedly still standing in the church today.
