They had a daughter, Eva who married Daniel Deibler and another daughter, Elizabeth who married Michael Smeltzer. Believe John Adam was born in Hagerstown, MD but went to Dauphin Co., PA. ***************** Roger: did your family keep the Weiss spelling? I descend from Johannes Adam Weiss who was in Maryland, then Washington Co. Pa. a generation earlier than yours, but he Americanized his name to Adam Wise. I have quite a lot of information on him if you'd like me to check this possible lead for you. I'm new to this list, and don't know if this has come up before, but I thought I'd mention that a new book on this Wise family will be coming out soon. The compiler is asking that people who want to buy a copy let her know, though she's not accepting money now. She is Kathryn Swim Cummings, P.O. Box 681798, Park City UT 84068. She is the genealogist who discovered the early 17th century church records in Germany that take this line back another generation or two. The book will cover all the descendants of Adam Wise.
