Note: Floyd's History of Northumberland County mentions children:
3 daughters married brothers named Wary
one married a Spiece
one married a DeTurk
one of the Wary's is buried at Mahanoy and one at Herb's Church.
(says the ancestor was a Hession soldier - nah!)
(note: missing Sarah Yoder and Salome Bastress Walp)

I found notes at the Lehigh County HistoricalSociety and also Northumberland County
Historical Society showing other Howerter researchers uncovered Sarah Howerter
as another daughter of Adam. (see myother notes under her name).

Adam's will mentions "all my children" withoutnames. Also "Elizabeth or her children
shall have her share and that shall also be divided amongst them in equal shares.
she has yet to receive $28.0.6 till she has received one hundred Pounds" Not sure
what that means - was she sick and dying? Also mentions sons Adam and Peter.

The tombstone says born inChester County. There's no reason to think that it's
false since the Trappe Church is across the river from Chester County.

The text of the article in Floyd's History of Northumberland County, pg 846:
HOWERTER. Adam Howerter, the first known ancestor of a family numerously
represented in Berks and Northumberland counties, Pa., was born Sept. 2, 1742,
and died in what is now Upper Mahanoy township, Northumberland Co., Pa., near
Howerters Church, Dec. 6, 1819. The inscription on his tombstone says "born in
Chester county," but family tradition has it that he was one of the Hessian
soldiers brought here by the English government during the Revolutionary war,
after which he settled in Chester county, Pa. About 1786 he located in Longswamp
township, Berks county, where in 1790 the Federal Census Report records him as
the head of a family of three sons and four daughters. The eldest son, Henry,
was already married in that year, but at that time had no children. He is said
to have remained in Berkscounty, but Adam and his other children, sons Johan
Adam and Johan Peter and four daughters, came to the Mahantango Valley, settling
in that district now embraced in Upper Mahanoy township, where the father took
up a large tract of land, some of which he cleared, erecting the first set of
buildings thereon.

He and his wife Catharine, who according to the tombstone
inscription was born in Europe Dec. 28, 1748, and died April 23, 1819
