I am trying to trace my line back into Germany. The first generation in America that I have listed is Adam Jacob Maurer. Adam Jacob was born before 1740 and died around 1799. He showed up in Lancaster County, PA and married Margaret ??? who died after 1794. I only have one child listed for them, Daniel (b. abt 1760 d. JAN 1826) who married a Mary (d. aft 1826).
If you have any information that may help me go back or forward, please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you. Good Luck with your search!!!
