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.
