Dear Edward,
I have seen some similar surnames to yours from the Holte Parish, Emsland, (near Meppen.)
The surnames that i know of are:
Rawe
R�ve
Meyer/Meier
Sandt
I also know that these names also occur in St. Louis City, Missouri.
There were some Rawe/Roewe's that were baptismal witness' to some of my "FELDHAUS/Tobben" ancestors children, as well as Meier's.
I also noted that there was a marriage in St. Louis of a Sandt and Tobben. (though not known if related)
I have not yet proofed a relationship, but thought I'd let you know.
The names are from the Holte Parish where my 3GGF was baptised, so am assuming the St. Louisians knew one other, or may have been related. My grandfather Feldhaus was from Laehden, Holte Parish. His wife was from Bokeloh, Helt Parish, (though I do know that the surname Tobben is also in Holt.)
The church were my ancestors children were baptised was Shrine of St. Joseph Catholic Church in St. Louis, City, Missouri in the 1860's and 1870's. They immigrated in 1859.
