birth approximate, probably born Berks Co, PA, possibly died Stark Co, OH after 1820. He was taxed in Stark County in 1826.
Deeds indicated his first wife m c.1797 was named Catherine
second wife m c.1804 named Barbara. AncestryDNA matching suggests these women may have been sisters, daughters of George Fleischer and Margaret (Haberacker / Haveracre).
Adam arrived Ohio about 1810 and settled first in Canfield Twp, then Trumbull now Mahoning County. He apparently had financial difficulties and signed over his land for debts he owed, took out a mortgage from George Fulk of Beaver Co, PA (relative?) and then lost the land in a sherriff's sale. Deeds can be found on Trumbull Co website.
He then appears in Bethlehem twp, Stark Co. Ohio 1820.
Barbara is listed as head of household Bethlehem Twp 1830 and neither Adam nor Barbara have yet been found in further records.
The three daughters Mary, Lydia, and Sarah marry in Stark County and live near one another in Brimfield Twp, Portage Co. OH in 1850, 1860 census. Mary has Sarah's son Levi living with her 1870 in Suffield Twp, Portage, OH.

Proposed children, not yet linked and no DNA matches to suggest they had issue, if they were children of Adam :
With wife Catherine:
Balmer, Nancy 59535844 (another researcher said Barnhisel though the marriage record indicates maiden name Bassler)
Hughes, Elizabeth
With wife Barbara:
Lydia Wisler (d after 1860, Portage? Co, OH)

There may have been other children, but these are the only ones with records found Stark County suggesting this family.
