Notes from the Meiser genealogy. [23] [24]
Adam was married to Anna Catharine Haas on December 8, 1760 at Millbach, Pennsylvania. Their first child, Anna Catharine Meiser, was baptized September w0, 1761 (11). No other children were born to him entil after he married Mary Eckhart. Their first child, Jacob was born early 1784 in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. At this time Adam lived near his brother, Henry 3/4, and his nephew John 4/2. John 4.2 was baptized Johann Adam Meiser on April 2, 1760, with Adam and his wife Anna Catharine Haas, as sponsors.
The families of Adam 3/9, Henry 3/4, and John 4/2 remained in close proximity to each other in their further migrations westward. At Jefferson County, Ohio, Henry 4/6, son of Henry 3/4; John 4/2, son of John 3/7, and Adam, 3/9, took out lands close to each other in 1802, 1806, and 1812 respectively. In fact, Adam's lands and those of John 4/2, joined. In 1812-1818 of these families, Adam and John 5/1 [25], took up lands in Tuscawaras County, Ohio. They were followed by Adam's other grandnephews, Jacob 5/6 and Philip 5/7, also sons of John 4/2. Soon afterward, Adam sold his Tuscawaras County holdings to his other grand-nephew, George 5/5, also the son of John 4/2. Additionally, in 1828, Adam's son John "w" Mizer 4/4, settled in the same general area.
The closeness of these families is further evidenced by the fact there were double family ties between them. Adam 3/9 and his nephew, John 4/2, married sisters. Adam 3/9 married Mary Eckhart and John 4/2 married Rosina Eckhart as supported by the will of Jacob Eckhart of Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, Vol. 2, p. 108.
No further record is found of Mary Eckhart except a Mary appearing along with that of Adam on May 22, 1824, when they jointly signed deeds transferring all their lands to several of their children in Paint Township, Wayne County, Ohio (as seen in Holmes County, Ohio records). An obituary of Adam's youngest son, Joseph 4/14, states that he, Joseph, was the youngest of fourteen …
