From the Brethren Historical Library and Archives website:

Hubert and Anna Brower, and their three sons and a daughter, were Mennonites from the small hamlet of Fuss Gonheim, just across the Rhine River from Mannheim, in the Palatinate. They were part of a Swiss-German Mennonite community who fled Switzerland under persecution, and who then fled Germany seeking religious freedom in William Penn’s colony of Pennsylvania. The family prospered in their new country, and all three sons – John, Christian, and Henry – married into well-known Mennonite families in the Chester County, PA, area. By the second generation, Christian Brower’s descendants became Brethren, John Brower’s became Lutheran-Episcopal, and Henry Brower’s descendants remained Mennonite. The three rare documents shown were all donated to the Brethren Historical Library and Archives (BHLA) in 2007 by Brower descendant, Dr. David A. Otto, Ph.D., and his wife, Elizabeth, of Fort Mill, South Carolina.

“The Pass” was required of any person or family who wished to emigrate from Germany to America in the 18th century. Akin to a passport or travel paper, the Brauer Pass was issued on May 1, 1726, to Hubert Brauer (Brower) and his family from the Rhine River town of Fuss Gonheim. The Brower’s voyage to America could have taken up to six months!
