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)
