To Sue "Rough" Mack: There were three John Rauch births in northern Lancaster County during the early-to-mid-1770s. One was from the line of John Rauch of Hanover Township, but I don't think that was your line. One was from the line of Jacob Rauch (son of Bernhard Rauch, immigrant). And one was from the line of William Rauch (son of Bernhard Rauch, immigrant). Both of the latter births are from published Swatara Reformed church records. Interestingly, there were three births and baptisms for the name of Margaret Wallmer at the same time at the same church. Swatara Reformed church was in the Jonestown area of Lancaster/Dauphin/Lebanon County, quite a distance from Juniata County.

Dwayne, If you have the records handy, I would very much appreciate the information on the three Margaret Wallmers (Walmers) that you mention in the following email to Sue Mack. It is very possible that I already have this information but my ears perked up with the mention of the Walmer name. Thank you.
