Notes:

Name Suffix: Senior

Note, based on the age of Adam, one would think Adam could have been married
in Germany and had children before being married to Catharine. Age is from ship list
I believe. I still wonder if maybe he was in fact younger when he came over.

note: much info taken from Misc. Family Histories by Raymond E
Hollenbach, 929.2 Misc at Lehigh Co Hist Soc

In Immigrants from Western Palatinate (in appendix), mentions Meissenheim records:
John Adam Mauer of Becherbach leaves for America, 1740
also, Johannes Maurer of Becherbach leaves for America, 1741
(so I think this is our Adam here)

notes on the Kocher family (relations?) (see world connect on rootsweb)
From Peter Baillet , Nancy, Lorraine, France, on Nov 23 1998:

"On Sep. 26, 1737 three Kocher families landed in Philadelphia :
1. GeorgeKocher and his wife Anna Maria nee Zurbruck;

2. Nicholas Kocher, his wife Anna Barbara nee Koehl, their son
John Nicholas (bap. Dec. 21, 1727) and their four daughters
Anna Eva (bap. Dec. 14, 1725),
Anna Elizabeth (bap. Jan. 2, 1732),
Anna Christina (bap. Dec. 12, 1735) and
Anna Barbara (bap. Apr. 21, 1737);
(married before 1710?)
(A Christ and William Wotring)

3. Martin Kocher (son of Johannes Kocher and of Anna nee Mertz) and his wife Sara ROSE,
daughter of Abraham ROSE from Schalbach, Lorraine. Martin and Sara had married
on Jan. 3, 1737. They settled in Heidelberg Twp., Lehigh Co., Pa. Martin died in 1762.
His widow and second wife is listed as Anna Maria Kocherin. Administrators
of the estate were Peter Kocher and Henry Geiger. The administration of the estate lasted
from 1762 - 1765.

These three Kocher families lived in Hangwiller, Lorraine. They emigrated to Pa. on board
the St.Andrew. Hangwiller and Schalbach were part of the Lutheran parish of
Wintersbourg, Lorraine. All the baptisms and marriages mentioned above were celebrated
at Wintersbourg, although the Kocher, Mertz and ROSE families were reformed (Calvinist).
In the Eighteenth Century, Lorraine was part of Germany. Nowadays it is part of France."

He may have been of one of the other families of Hangwiller, and not Nicholas' brother.
