    I was wondering where the Salem Church was in Pelham Township and if there was a community called Salem where this church was situated?
    Thanks!

    Salem church was located In Wainfleet township.

    Located on old hwy 57 at Pearson Bridge (formerly Robins bridge)

    The History of Salem church can be located in the Chronicles of Wainfleet township written by Wainfleet Historical Society Page 391

    This book should be found in the Wainfleet Public Library.

    Salem is still used as a church by “Wellandport Church of Christ”

    As far as I know Salem only had a church. However many people referred to living in the community of Salem.
    Sorry about the delay to answer. Hope this helps B
