His wife, Catharine (Diehl), born Nov.29, 1772, died May 18, 1851. They had no children. They are buried at Howerters Church. Note - I did have death month as April - source? Adam Jr's willgives everything to John Moyer, a friend (does that prove he had no children?). Note that 1850 census shows Catharine living with John Moyer, 56, and wifeCatharine 50 (and their children). Did Adam Jr really have no children? It's clear from his will that he left his estate to John Moyer. But that could be that John had agreed to provide for Adam in exchange for the land. That's not uncommon. (although it was normally done as an agreement before hand witha trusted relative).
